Chapter 6 Going down the mountain
After settling the wild boar, Li Kaixin stepped out of the secret realm and headed straight down the mountain without delay.
Before long, Li Kaixin arrived at a place called Eagle Cliff on the outskirts of the mountain.
Looking down at the village houses that were faintly visible, Li Kaixin had a sudden thought. Most of the villagers were surnamed Li, and they lived a very frugal life, often going hungry.
If Grandpa's family ate meat alone, others would inevitably feel envious and jealous, and a thought quietly formed in their minds.
With a slight thought, Li Kaixin instantly "teleported" the enormous wild boar out of the space and plummeted straight down the cliff!
Seeing the wild boar disappear at the edge of the cliff, Li Kaixin immediately turned around and ran down the rugged mountain path.
Soon, Li Kaixin found the wild boar lying paralyzed among the rocks at the bottom of the cliff. The enormous creature was not dead and was making painful "grunts," its thick, iron-like limbs twisted at unnatural angles, clearly broken from the fall.
"Good heavens, it's not even completely dead yet. Its thick skin is truly remarkable!" Li Kaixin thought to himself. Seeing that it couldn't move, he ignored it.
With his gaze fixed on the direction down the mountain, he took a deep breath and strode off towards his third grandfather's house.
......
Li Kaixin rushed into her third grandfather's yard like a whirlwind, her clear voice slightly breathless: "Third Grandfather! Third Grandfather! Come out quickly!"
The curtain was lifted, and Third Grandfather peeked out, his face filled with concern: "What's wrong, Kaixin? Why are you running so fast? What happened?"
Li Kaixin caught her breath, her face slightly flushed, and scratched her head a little embarrassedly: "No...nothing happened, it was me! I just came down from the mountain and ran into a wild boar!"
"Wild boar?!" Third Grandfather's voice instantly rose, his face changed in a flash, and he took a step forward, his rough hands eagerly groping and examining him.
"You little rascal! Did you wander into the inner part of the mountain? Are you hurt? Let me see!"
"No! I really didn't go to the inner perimeter!" Li Kaixin quickly explained, pointing towards the direction of the mountain behind the village.
"It's right below Eagle Cliff, near our village! I saw it from afar!"
The word "wild boar" acted like a magnet, instantly attracting several boys playing outside the village chief's yard.
They all swarmed around, their eyes wide, and bombarded each other with questions:
"Wild boar? Where is it, Happy Bro?"
"How old is he? Is he fierce?"
Li Kaixin didn't have time to answer them in detail. Remembering something important, he quickly said to his third grandfather, "Third grandfather, something's wrong with that wild boar. It's lying there motionless, and its legs look like they're broken! We need to quickly call the villagers to carry it back!"
"If people from other villages see this, it'll be gone!"
Third Grandfather immediately understood the urgency of the matter, and his sharp gaze fell on a dark-skinned boy among the onlookers, whose features resembled Li Yong's.
He decisively waved to him: "Xiao Yong! Quick! Run! Go and call your dad, your Uncle Da Zhuang, Uncle Tie Zhu, and anyone else who can muster strength to the village chief's yard! Tell them we found 'big meat' down the cliff, and we need to get ropes and levers!"
"Alright!" The boy named Xiaoyong responded loudly, turned around like a cannonball, and disappeared in a flash.
Before long, several of the able-bodied men in the village who had heard the news gathered at the village chief's house, their faces filled with excitement and questions.
Seeing that the crowd had gathered enough, Third Grandfather didn't waste any more words.
Standing on the steps, he waved his hand and shouted, "Listen up! A few strong, fast men, come with Kaixin to Eagle Cliff! There's a 'big load' waiting for us to carry!"
"Wow!" A burst of barely suppressed cheers erupted from the crowd, everyone rubbing their hands together in anticipation.
Li Kaixin didn't say much, just nodded, turned around and led several strong men, striding towards the back mountain.
On the way, Li Kaixin's second uncle, Li Mingcai, hurried to catch up, protecting Li Kaixin and asking with concern:
"Kaixin, are you alright? I heard from Zhang Yong's son that it was you who encountered the wild boar."
Li Kaixin patted his chest and grinned as he walked.
"It's alright, Uncle. I'm far enough away. It's just lying there, unable to move!"
The group hurried to the foot of Eagle Cliff. There, the enormous creature appeared before them.
"My God!"
"Wow! This...this is more than just a small hill, it's a mountain!"
Everyone gasped in surprise, and an uproar erupted instantly, with exclamations of astonishment rising and falling in waves.
"This is way too big!"
"Goodness gracious, that must weigh at least 500 pounds! It's almost as big as a calf!"
"What incredible luck! How could I possibly run into this?"
Grandpa San was also taken aback, but quickly regained his composure and shouted, "Stop staring at this spectacle! Get to work before it gets completely dark! Come on, lend a hand!"
Several of the strongest men stepped forward and deftly looped the thick hemp ropes they had brought around the wild boar's limbs and torso, inserting them into the sturdy wooden bar.
Shouting, "One! Two! Lift—!" the heavy wild boar was slowly lifted, and the group carefully set off on their way back to the village.
By the time everyone had trudged through the mud and puddles to carry the enormous object back to the large threshing ground outside the village canteen, it was nearly dusk.
The village's elderly, women, and children gathered here upon hearing the news, their faces filled with curiosity.
Looking at the wild boars that resembled a small mountain in the center of the threshing ground, and then at the eager gazes of the surrounding villagers, Third Grandfather showed a hint of embarrassment on his face.
He walked up to Li Kaixin, rubbed his hands together, and lowered his voice: "Kaixin, you're the one who found this pig. According to the rules, the villagers should get half. Look at this..."
Before his third grandfather could finish speaking, Li Kaixin understood what he meant.
A clear voice rang out distinctly in the quiet threshing ground, carrying an undeniable cheerfulness: "Third Grandfather, is there even a question? Aren't I part of Li Family Village?"
"We brought this back for the whole village; you can distribute it among everyone as you see fit!"
Third Grandfather was taken aback for a moment, then his old face broke into a wide smile, and he patted Li Kaixin's shoulder forcefully: "That's right! Third Grandfather was wrong."
He turned abruptly, strode onto the slightly elevated earthen platform at the edge of the threshing ground, and shouted in a booming voice:
"Did you all hear that?! Kaixin said this wild boar is a blessing for our whole village!"
Then, drawing out the words, and looking at the crowd below who instantly erupted in excitement, he announced with a beaming smile, "Go back and get your basins and baskets, and tidy up the canteen's stove! Tonight, at the village canteen, we're having a feast! Distribute the meat!"
"oh!!"
A deafening cheer erupted on the drying ground. Applause, shouts of approval, and words of thanks surged toward Li Kaixin like a tidal wave, while the children jumped and screamed with excitement.
The tranquility of Lijia Village was ignited by this unexpected joy.
