Chapter 106: Let Others Take Care of It
He didn't even see how the net was caught, and thought he had failed again. Then he felt his body being pulled forward by the rope and he almost fell into the ditch.
Fortunately, the young man behind him was helpful and hugged his waist in time, so he did not fall into the pit.
Otherwise, you will either lose your life or break some bones!
Because he was hit so hard by the wild boar, his heart and liver were trembling, his legs felt weak, and he almost couldn't hold his urine.
The crowd watching the excitement saw that the wild boar was finally caught in the net, and they burst into cheers and looked at the village chief with admiration.
Wang Fugui received the signals from everyone and suddenly felt that he was fine again. His back straightened unconsciously.
"See, I said this is the last time, and it's the last time. It's useless even if you come earlier. Don't you still have to rely on me in the end?!" Wang Fugui raised his eyebrows at Zhou Tiezhu, looking so proud.
"I don't know you. You almost peed yourself just now. Now that you're caught in the net, don't hold on to it. Let the young men pull you up quickly. It's getting dark."
Zhou Tiezhu is not used to showing off his ability, but he knows the character of Wang Fugui. They are brothers who grew up together.
Wang Fugui, whose pain point was touched, curled his lips, gave the rope to Boss Zhou, and asked them to pull the pig up.
Everything went smoothly afterwards. The wild boar was entangled in the net bag and struggled inside for a long time. After being pulled out, it had almost used up its last bit of strength.
A few young men held the pig down with a thatched mat, tied up its four legs and mouth, tied it up tightly, and then carried it down the mountain with a stick. Those who came to join in the fun also followed.
They did not return to Lao Zhou's house, but carried the body directly to the home of the village chief Wang Fugui.
The village chief's house not only has an ox cart, but also a large scale, which can be used to weigh the weight of the pig.
Just as Mrs. Zhou said, the weight was 110 kilograms.
A few elderly people discussed it and decided to take the car to the town before it got dark and let the people deal with it.
Otherwise, after one night, the wild boar will recover its strength and I don’t know what will happen.
Several young men lifted the wild boar onto the ox cart and pulled the cart ready to go out.
In addition to my second grandfather Zhou Tiezhu and Zhou Lao Da, there are also Wang Youcai and the village chief's son Wang Yuquan.
Old Mrs. Zhou took out a few copper coins from her waist and handed them to Boss Zhou.
"It's getting late, let's buy some food on the street first, sell it early and come back early."
Everyone watched the ox cart getting farther and farther away and smaller, then they rubbed their hands, went home and prepared to have dinner.
After saying hello to the village chief Wang Fugui, Old Mrs. Zhou took her daughter-in-law, granddaughter and grandson back home.
The sun had already set, and they had to hurry home to clean up and cook and eat.
Zhou Mingzhi was carrying Zhou Mingshu's backpack. Although it didn't feel heavy, he always felt that something was moving inside.
He didn't realize that the backpack was placed on the ground when he was catching the pigs, and he didn't notice it when he was in a hurry to go down the mountain. Now that it was over, he suddenly relaxed, and he was almost frightened when he realized it belatedly.
"Saya, what's in your backpack? Why is there such a noise?" Zhou Mingzhi took off the backpack and wanted to find out what was going on.
"Brother, there are some small crabs in there. Go home and wash them and cook them." Zhou Mingshu carefully removed the weeds on top to reveal the small things underneath. He didn't expect that after an afternoon, they were still full of energy.
There was smoke coming out of Old Zhou's kitchen. Although it was inconvenient for Mrs. Feng to move around with her two children, she still made some tea and chicken mushroom soup. Now she got some vegetables and was preparing to stir-fry some dishes.
When Feng saw people coming back, she hurriedly asked about the situation in the mountains, and Liu answered one by one.
However, Zhou Mingyuan on the side was unwilling and did not let him go. When he returned to the village, he also saw wild boars. He felt very sorry for the loss and cried in the yard at the top of his voice.
"Okay, stop crying. That wild boar has two fangs and you will have nightmares if you see it. It's a good thing you didn't go, otherwise you would not be able to sleep at night. Wait for your uncle to sell the wild boar and make money to buy you delicious food." Zhou Mingshu stepped forward to coax his younger brother.
But Zhou Mingyuan was still immersed in his own emotions, feeling extremely aggrieved, and ignored her at all.
It was not until Zhou Mingshu and Zhou Mingqi poured the crabs in the basket into the basin that it caught his attention.
Because they had been catching wild boars for the entire afternoon, they didn't pick up any mushrooms or wild vegetables, so their dinner was very limited.
Fortunately, Liu and Zhu went up the mountain to pick some mushrooms in the morning. Those mushrooms can be stir-fried into a dish.
There was no time to clean up the bowl of snails San Ya picked up in the morning, so she had to keep them in a small basin as tomorrow's dish.
On their way back, Zhou Lao Er and Zhou Lao San met Zhou Lao Da and his group who were on their way to town.
The two of them were tired after a whole day's work and looked listless. There was no San Ya around to entertain them. They were just feeling bored when they saw a familiar person coming towards them.
"Brother, what are you doing..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw a wild boar tied up in a heap on the car.
"Oh my God, did you catch a wild boar?"
Zhou Laoer and Zhou Laosan were shocked and envious. When they saw the people in the car clearly, they thought they were from their second uncle's family or the village chief's family. They didn't think it was their own family at all.
Zhou Lao Da couldn't stop laughing and briefly explained what had happened. Zhou Lao Er and Zhou Lao San were so excited, especially Zhou Lao San. He didn't even go home, but jumped on the ox cart to go to the town to sell pigs.
Zhou Laoer had no choice but to go home. His family would be worried if they didn't go home.
After the two groups waved goodbye, Zhou Laoer hurried home. He never expected that his daughter would be so lucky. After going into the mountains, she actually found a wild boar in a deep pit.
If I had gone two days later, I might have become her.
However, most people don't go to the riverside because it is too dangerous. If they don't find it, there is a chance that the wild boar will starve to death in there.
Zhou Laoer shook his head and laughed, then strode home.
When he got home, the meal was not ready yet. It seemed that catching the wild boar had taken quite some time.
Zhou Mingyuan was still sobbing and standing beside the basin watching the sisters cleaning crabs.
Seeing her father coming back, she hurried over to tell him about her grievances, and shed a few tears while leaning on Zhou Laoer's shoulder.
Zhou Laoer listened carefully to what his son said, then smiled and patted him on the butt.
"I didn't let you go for your own good. I just saw that wild boar. It was all black, and its spines were like those of a hedgehog. It was very ugly. If you cry over such a small thing, are you not a man? Look, Si Ya didn't cry at all. She's so obedient..."
Zhou Laoer coaxed Zhou Mingyuan in his arms. Seeing that his father said so, Zhou Mingyuan stopped acting coquettishly on him.
Although he stopped crying, he still looked a little depressed and went back to looking at the crabs obediently.
Because they had been pressed in the basket for an entire afternoon, a few crabs inevitably died, and many of the other small crabs had broken legs, but that did not affect their edibility.
