Siheyuan: Fishing for All Things.

Page 183

Lin Shaowen stuffed a handful of candy into her hands and put a lollipop into her mouth.

This girl is so honest that she would rather not eat the food herself but share it with her friends.

"Thank you, little doctor."

Zhang Shuting smiled sweetly and ran away holding the candy.

A group of children behind him tried their best to catch up.

"Little Doctor."

Someone greeted him.

"Qin Ergou, I heard your mother is not in good health. Go on."

Lin Shaowen casually reached into the truck bed behind him and fished out a grass carp weighing five or six kilograms and threw it out.

"Hey, thank you, little doctor." Qin Ergou shouted happily.

"Qin Laoliu, if you keep bothering your wife, I won't treat you." Lin Shaowen shouted at a man.

"Young doctor, what are you doing...there are so many people here." Qin Laoliu faced the laughter of the crowd, his old face flushed.

"Then, take it and mend it, and then continue to work on it."

Another fish was thrown out.

"Thank you, young doctor. Can we please not mention this matter anymore?" Qin Laoliu said helplessly.

"Master Qin, catch the fish..."

Lin Shaowen was throwing fish almost as he walked. When he arrived at Qin Kan's house, there was only a fat carp left in the entire truck bed. It trembled from time to time, indicating that it was still holding on.

"How can you be like that?" Wu Xiaoli scolded, "You worked hard all day and only left one... Not only did you give the rest to others, but you also gave them candy."

As he said that, he took the whip from Lin Shaowen's hand and drove the donkey into the shed.

This donkey does not belong to Qin Kan's family. It was bought from another village by Lin Shaowen.

Of course, the donkey was nominally given to Qin Jianghe. He couldn't just slaughter the donkey when he returned, right?

"Lin Shaowen, please be gentle." Qin Jiang was brushing the donkey with a brush by the river and complained, "You could just whip it to scare it, but you beat it like that..."

The red marks on the donkey's butt made him feel very distressed.

"No, it won't go away unless I hit it." Lin Shaowen said helplessly.

"Go away, you just don't know how to drive." Qin Jianghe glared.

"That's right." Qin Kan also chimed in, "If you don't know how to drive, ask your elder brother to take you when you go fishing, and then ask him to pick you up when the time comes. It's not right for you to always abuse animals."

Rural people, especially rural men.

They have different feelings towards animals such as horses, donkeys and cows. It may sound corny to say that they treat them as family members, but they really treat these animals as members of the family.

"Okay, okay, it's my fault. Should I bow to it and apologize?" Lin Shaowen said with a smile.

"Go away, stop talking nonsense."

Qin Kan cursed with a smile, then went over to help Qin Jianghe bathe the donkey.

"By the way, we received another letter from your factory. Are you really not considering going back?" Qin Jianghe pretended to be casual.

If possible, he hoped that Lin Shaowen could stay in Qinjia Village for the rest of his life.

Since he came, the medical level of Qinjia Village has risen sharply. Except for patients who need surgery, Lin Shaowen can treat almost all other diseases, and he doesn't charge any money. I don't know how many families have erected a longevity monument for Lin Shaowen and worship him during festivals.

"No." Lin Shaowen smiled.

The advice given above was very simple, just ask him to write a document.

It cannot be called a "confession", it just allows him to draw a clear line between himself and Lou Xiao'e.

"Everyone says I have a bad temper, but you're not much better," Qin Kan said helplessly, "You're not even a serious cadre because of a runaway woman. You're really..."

"Go to hell, you know nothing." Wu Xiaoli cursed, "Shao Wen is a man of loyalty and righteousness. Do you think everyone is as obsessed with power as you two? Would they abandon their wives and children just to become an official?"

"What are you talking about?" Qin Kan was unhappy.

"Mom, what you said is not right." Qin Jianghe was also unhappy, "How can this be called abandoning your wife and children? It was obviously Lou Xiaoe who ran away first."

"Did he run away? He was taken away by his father. Do you know what happened?" Wu Xiaoli put her hands on her hips and immediately wanted to argue with the two of them. The two of them immediately became scared and dared not to talk to her anymore.

"Forget it. I won't argue with an old woman like you." Qin Kan looked at Lin Shaowen and said, "Tomorrow the village will go into the mountains to hunt wild boars. Do you want to join us?"

"Going into the mountains, are there any guns?" Lin Shaowen asked in surprise.

"Yes, we have four hunting rifles at home, but... can you use them?" Qin Jianghe asked doubtfully.

"Do you have a gun at home? Give it to me to play with." Lin Shaowen said happily.

Qin Jianghe put down the brush, went into the house, rummaged through the cabinets for a while, and took out a relatively new double-barreled shotgun. Although it was a bit old, the gun body with a black sheen showed that it was regularly maintained.

"Don't do it to people." Qin Kan warned.

"rest assured."

Lin Shaowen took the gun, opened the chamber with a "click", and stretched out his hand to Qin Jianghe.

Seeing that he really knew how to use it, Qin Jianghe no longer hesitated and took out two bullets and handed them to him.

Lin Shaowen loaded the bullet and aimed at a bird on a big tree at the door.

boom!

There was a gunshot and the bird fell to the ground.

At this time, the other birds in the tree, startled by the gunshots, immediately fled frantically.

Lin Shaowen aimed again, and another gunshot rang out, and a bird flying in the air was shot down.

"Have you ever played with a gun before?" Qin Jianghe asked in amazement.

"My father used to take me to target practice." Lin Shaowen spoke nonsense in a serious tone.

"No wonder, you are so accurate." Qin Jianghe looked envious.

"You will go hunting on behalf of our village tomorrow," Qin Kan decided.

"Row."

Lin Shaowen smiled slightly and handed the gun back to Qin Jianghe.

He originally thought that the "sharpshooting" skill was useless, but he didn't expect it to come in handy.

Chapter 245 Wild Boar

In the 1960s, there was no concept of animal protection. Wild boars, tigers, and leopards were killed whenever they were caught. Wild boars, in particular, became a pest in many places. They had thick skin and flesh, strong survival ability, and were very fertile.

It is very common to see seven, eight or even more than ten crickets in a nest, so many villages will regularly hunt them down. In mountainous areas, several villages will even join forces to hunt them, for fear that they will come down and damage the crops.

Qinjia Village, Wangjia Village and several surrounding villages went into the mountains together to hunt down wild boars. Of course, if they encountered other animals, they would rather kill them than let them go.

"Little Doctor, you are here too."

Wang Yousheng, the Party Secretary of Wangjia Village, was the first to greet Lin Shaowen. Seeing this, several other village Party Secretaries also came over.

"Aren't you just here to join in the fun?"

Lin Shaowen jumped off the donkey, carrying a shotgun.

"Why are you riding a donkey?" Zhang Quan said with a smile.

"These days, it's good enough to have a donkey to ride. I would like to get a horse, but I can't get one." Lin Shaowen took out a cigarette and passed it around.

"Get a horse? Go find Zhao Erlangzi." Wang Yousheng said cheerfully, "The brigade in their village has a professional horse breeder, with more than ten horses."

"They raise horses?" Lin Shaowen was stunned. "No, why do they raise horses? I heard that horses eat a lot and are very expensive, and horse manure is particularly difficult to deal with..."

This is the knowledge that Qin Kan and he popularized.

In fact, for rural areas, horses are not particularly good things.

Although men like to ride horses, raising horses requires a large grassland and careful care. However, its effectiveness is not as good as that of donkeys. Horses are fierce and run fast. If they are not managed well, they may trample crops.

More importantly, the meat of this thing doesn't taste good.

I've only heard of people secretly using horse meat to replace donkey meat, but I've never heard of anyone using donkey meat to replace horse meat.

"Zhao Er raises horses for pulling carts." Zhang Quan came over and laughed, "He has been preparing this horse team for a long time. He plans to collect things from the surrounding villages and then take them to the supply and marketing cooperatives to exchange for supplies... But you also know that it is so difficult now, how can people have much to exchange."

It is still a difficult period now. It is rare to have meat in the city, let alone in the countryside.

"That too."

Lin Shaowen nodded with a smile, but he was quite tempted in his heart. It would be nice if he could buy a horse to ride.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense. Everyone, keep an eye on the people in your own village and prepare to go into the mountains."

Qin Kan roared.

Although Qinjia Village is poor, Qin Kan is the big brother of all the village party secretaries.

"Into the mountains."

The village party secretaries shouted in high spirits, and hundreds of people divided into more than ten teams and slowly walked towards the mountain.

Changping has many mountains, such as Mangshan Mountain, Yinshan Mountain, etc., which form a group of mountains that stretch for thousands of miles. It is even said that there are many tigers, leopards and other beasts in the mountains. In the old society, tigers would even come down from the mountains to eat farmers' livestock when they were extremely hungry.

"Shao Wen, be careful."

Qin Jianghe, Qin Ergou and a group of young people from Qinjia Village guarded Lin Shaowen.

The village branch has issued a death order. The success of the hunt is important, but Lin Shaowen's safety is more important. If anything happens to him, the young people who participate in the hunt will be scolded to death by the elders in the village.

"rest assured."

Lin Shaowen waved his hand and took a step back.

He is very self-aware and doesn't want to cause trouble for others.

The commotion caused by hundreds of people entering the mountains made many animals in the mountains feel uneasy.

"Oh..."

A shout was heard, which made Lin Shaowen stunned.

"It's a wild boar, hurry up."

Qin Jianghe rushed forward first, and the others followed closely behind.

To be honest, this was the first time Lin Shaowen saw a wild boar, except at the dinner table.

He originally thought that wild boars and domestic pigs were similar, and they were still pigs after all. But after seeing a live wild boar today, he found out that he was wrong.

This wild boar is half a person's height, and the two fangs on its mouth are probably several dozen centimeters long. At this moment, it is standing still, but panting heavily, expressing its uneasiness.

Many people stood around and did not shoot rashly.

It's not to save bullets, but if the double-barreled shotgun is not aimed at close range, even an experienced hunter can easily miss the bullet.

"My goodness, this must be two or three hundred kilograms?" someone shouted.

"More than that, at least more than 400 kilograms." Qin Jianghe continued.

"Accountant, what do you think? Should we go?"

Everyone was eager to try.

Qin Jianghe is the village clerk, but everyone is used to calling him "accountant". Actually, you can also call him director, but few people do so.

"Wait a minute, wait for everyone..."

boom!

Before Qin Jianghe could finish his words, a gunshot rang out.

Everyone subconsciously shrank their necks.

"Ow..."
