Era: I was a farmer at the foot of Yaoling Mountain

Chapter 18 Divide the Meat
"The third brother took both guns? Oh no, he must be going to hunt wild boars."

After lunch, Fang Ping went to grind rice and was exhausted. When he came back, he heard from his wife that his third brother had gone into the mountains, carrying two guns.

He immediately realized that something was wrong. His third brother had said that day that the wild boar must be killed, otherwise it would definitely harm the sweet potatoes planted in the valley.

I didn’t expect that the third brother would actually take action.

"My younger brother told you to go pick him up at dusk. It's still not too late to leave now."

Tian Guihua did not realize the seriousness of the problem. She just remembered Fang Wei's instructions and said it casually.

Fang Ping immediately stood up and headed straight up the mountain.

He brought a hatchet and a rope, and wanted to call a few more people, but he was afraid that his plan to grow sweet potatoes in the valley would be exposed, so he had to go alone.

When he arrived near the valley, he heard a gunshot in the distance and his heart skipped a beat.

So he quickened his pace and saw his third brother in the valley.

At this time, Fang Wei was looking at the wild boar with worry, not knowing when his brother would come. If he didn't come soon, it would be dark.

"The third one!"

"Big brother."

Fang Ping walked over, took a look at the dead wild boar, and then felt a wave of fear.

If my third brother fails to catch such a big wild boar, the consequences will be unimaginable.

But now is not the time to blame others. The most important thing right now is how to get the wild boar back.

"Let's take it back. If we leave it here, it will be eaten by wild beasts."

The two brothers found a way to make a stretcher, then put the wild boar on it, tied it up, and carried it back.

The weight of about 200 pounds is not too exaggerated, but the problem is that they have to walk on a mountain road, and both of them are very tired.

It was beginning to get dark, and the two were almost exhausted halfway through the journey, so they had to stop to rest.

This delay lasted for more than half an hour before the two of them were back on the road.

According to the current situation, they will only walk slower and slower in the second half of the journey as their strength is exhausted, and they may not reach home until midnight.

Fortunately, the two were very familiar with this forest and could return in the dark with the help of moonlight.

Later, Fang Wei came up with an idea. He lit two torches and stuck them on both sides of the stretcher, which could somewhat dispel the influence of darkness.

"Third brother, you are now stronger than me. I never noticed it before."

It was the first time Fang Ping realized how amazing his third brother was, and how he could persist until now.

It would be difficult for two strong men to carry a weight of over 200 kilograms on a mountain road, let alone my third brother who was only 16 years old. It actually looked easier for him than for me.

You should know that Fang Ping is a famous "strongman" in the team. He can carry a 150-pound load and walk briskly on the mountain road.

Of course, carrying a load is different from lifting heavy objects.

"I'm quite strong, right?"

Of course, Fang Wei couldn't say that his physical fitness had been greatly improved since he got the system.

He hasn't figured out the specific quantitative indicators yet, but the results won't lie.

"Rest a while, rest a while! I really can't walk anymore."

Walking on mountain roads at night is difficult in itself, and carrying a wild boar weighing over 200 pounds is too much for even Fang Ping, a "strongman".

The two men put down the stretcher, placed the torch in a safe place, and then sat down to rest.

There were a lot of mosquitoes on the mountain. Even though Fang Wei had an insect repellent herbal sachet with him, he was still bitten by several big insects.

"Brother, lie down for a while, I'll watch over you."

Fang Weiyi looked at his elder brother and knew that he would not be able to leave in a short time.

So we thought of taking turns to sleep for a while and wait until we were fully rested before doing anything else.

However, if you spend the night in the mountains, there must be someone on guard, otherwise you would be irresponsible for your own life.

"Okay, I'll take a nap first, then it's your turn to rest."

Fang Ping didn't dwell on it. They were taking turns to rest anyway, so there was no need to push them back and forth.

He was half lying on the ground with his back against a big tree and soon fell into confusion.

But not long after, he was startled awake by a loud noise in the distance, and he jumped up. "Brother, someone should be here."

I could faintly hear voices talking, but because the distance was quite far, I couldn't hear them clearly.

The two brothers each held a gun and did not dare to be careless.

"Fang Ping. Fang Wei"

After waiting for a long time, voices and firelight gradually approached, and they both heard someone calling their names.

"We are here!"

Both sides saw the fire and it was clear that the group of people were coming towards this side.

However, in order to avoid misunderstandings, both parties still informed each other. If someone ran up to them quietly and was shot, wouldn't it be unfair?

Later, a group of people appeared in front of the two brothers.

The people who came included Tian Guihua, Fang Songlin, Zheng Bao, Zheng Hu and several militiamen.

"Finally found you, boss, little brother, are you all right?"

"Oh my, such a big wild boar? Big Brother Fang, Third Brother Fang, you two are really amazing!"

When Tian Guihua saw Fang Ping and Fang Wei, she felt relieved.

Zheng Bao, Zheng Hu and the other militiamen were staring at the wild boar on the stretcher in surprise.

Wild boars are the bullies of the mountains. They have thick skin, flesh and great strength. Even if one or two people have weapons, they dare not go into the mountains to hunt them.

I didn’t expect the Fang brothers to be so brave that they actually killed a wild boar.

"Fang Ping, you've always been so steady and collected, so why are you fooling around with young people? Everyone, help carry the wild boar back. We can talk about anything when we get home."

Fang Songlin was the team's clerk and was related to the Fang family, so he spoke to Fang Ping as an elder.

Fang Ping naturally didn't lose his temper and kept promising that he would not take risks again next time.

Zheng Bao and several militiamen carried the wild boar down the mountain. Fang Ping and his wife followed with Wenshu, and Zheng Hu accompanied Fang Wei at the end of the team.

“Brother Fang, you are really this!”

Zheng Hu couldn't help but give a thumbs up. He was completely impressed by Fang Wei and was conquered by his abilities without realizing it.

If Fang Wei needs a lackey now, Zheng Hu will definitely come forward.

"Don't brag about me. I almost couldn't come back this time."

Fang Wei was talking about how he and his elder brother were carrying a wild boar and became exhausted halfway through the journey.

But when Zheng Hu heard this, he thought that the process of hunting the owner was very dangerous, and he couldn't help but shrink his neck.

On the other side, Fang Ping asked his wife, "Why did you call so many people over?"

"You also said that I was waiting for someone at home, but he didn't come back. I was a little scared, so I went to look for my uncle.

My uncle was worried about the safety of going up the mountain at night, so he asked Zheng Bao and some militiamen to come and help.

Tian Guihua explained the whole story, and Fang Ping suddenly understood.

The fact that the wild boar was killed could definitely not be concealed, but as long as the secret planting of sweet potatoes in the valley was not exposed, he had nothing to worry about.

When the group returned to the village, Zheng Xianfa and several other team cadres were alarmed, so Fang Ping simply had the wild boar carried to the team headquarters.

Soon, the threshing ground in front of the team headquarters was full of people. The members of the cooperative didn't sleep anymore and were busy coming over to watch the fun.

"You devils, do you smell the meat? Why not? Let's divide the wild boar now so you don't have to worry about it.

This wild boar was hunted by the brothers Fang Ping and Fang Wei. They each received 20 kilograms of meat, and everyone else got a share of the rest.

Zheng Xianfa cursed and everyone laughed.

No one had any objection to this distribution plan.

So the accountants and clerks were responsible for the weighing and registration, and Zheng Bao did it personally.

The Fang brothers first selected the parts. Zheng Bao cut 40 kilograms of meat for them, and then the two brothers returned home.

After Tian Guihua came down the mountain, she went back home. She was worried because her two children were still sleeping at home.
