Chapter 8
Ever since he knew that there were wild boars on that mountain, Xu Baozhu never forgot.

Generally, sheep and cattle are raised in this village. This is for the work in the field. Even if they are too old to work, they have to be sold for a little money, and they will not be used for cooked food.

If the villagers want to eat meat, they usually go hunting, hunting some wild rabbits, chickadees and so on. They don’t know how to raise pigs, because the cost is too high, and it takes time and effort. Not to mention, the villagers in this village know what the conditions are, and they can’t sell them. , My family can't finish eating, and I can't bear to let it go. When I really want to satisfy my hunger, that is, I go to the county to buy some for appearance during the Chinese New Year or weddings.

But how can a little rabbit compare to a big wild boar?

And now that there is an extra patient in the family, it is time for nutrition...

The more Xu Baozhu thought about it, the more he couldn't sit still, so he simply went out and came to Qian's house again.

In the past few days, the autumn harvest has come, and the eldest brother of the Qian family has hurt his hand again. The Qian family seems to have lost a labor force, and the work in the field has been slowed down a lot. For most of the day, there is not much work, but one by one, they are sweating profusely. of.

Qian Jin had just come back from the fields, when he caught sight of Xu Baozhu walking over, hurriedly went up to meet him, and asked, "Sister Baozhu, why are you here?"

"Let's take a look." Xu Baozhu handed him the water bottle in his hand, and said, "After working for so long, you're tired, let's drink some water first."

"No need, no need." Qian Jin refused. He was afraid of any misunderstanding, so he didn't dare to accept it. "It's all at home. I'll go in and have a drink later." He explained.

"Ok."

Xu Baozhu didn't force it, took the water and hung it back on his waist, quickly cut to the point, and said: "Ah Jin, you said that your brother was injured because of that big wild boar, do you still remember where it haunts?"

"It's just halfway up Taozhi Mountain." Qian Jin didn't know what she meant by asking this question, but when he remembered the situation at that time, he still had lingering fears, and reminded: "That thing is really big and terrifying, and it can kill you when it goes crazy. Sister, you often go to the mountains to collect herbs, so be careful."

"Well, I know." Xu Baozhu responded, and said again: "Do you think it is possible that we hunt it down, so that everyone won't have to worry about it hurting people in the future?"

Qian Jin thought he had heard it wrong, "Miss Baozhu, are you kidding me, hunt down?"

Xu Baozhu raised her head with firm eyes.

"Okay, let me tell you the truth." Qian Jin sat down on the field ridge in front of the door, and said, "Actually, we already knew that there were wild boars on that mountain, and we set the trap before to catch it. I see, fortunately my brother is strong enough to avoid that blow, otherwise it would not be as simple as hurting a hand now."

"Three or five of our young and strong men can't do it. I advise you really, don't think about it, so as not to suffer from unreasonable disasters."

"If I say I will fight, will you help me?"

"It's not a matter of helping or not, you know, now my brother..."

"I have a way." Xu Baozhu interrupted him, "I have a way, I can guarantee to hunt it down, but I really need your help."

Although I know this is very dangerous, but I think about the appearance of the giant wild boar... If it is really hunted down, even if only half of it is taken, it will be enough for the family for several months, and there is no need to bother going to the county during the New Year.

"any solution?"

After all, the fear could not overcome the heartbeat, and Qian Jin's attitude softened.

Xu Baozhu approached his ear and told someone about her plan. Qian Jin frowned, "Is this really possible?"

"Let's try it. If we succeed, we'll make money. If we don't succeed, we won't be able to catch up. We won't lose if we run away."

It seems to be such a rationale.

"Okay, but that thing is really big, I'm afraid we can't do it just by the two of us." Qian Jin said.

"Then what do you mean?"

"Call a few more people to help."

"Okay, then go tell them."

The young guys and girls in this village thought she was unlucky, and they were afraid that she would delay their marriage. It would be impossible for her to go, but she underestimated the taboos the villagers had towards her.

Qian Jin explained to Qian's parents, returned from the field ridge, gathered a few young people who had fun on weekdays, and told them about Xu Baozhu's plan, but when they heard it, they immediately waved their hands and vetoed it, saying: " Ah Jin, you are crazy, didn't you see the example of your elder brother? How dare you promise her this!"

"That's right, we went that day. We were so unlucky if we didn't take her with us. We couldn't take it off to pay for the injuries all over our body. If we really went there with her, I'm afraid we would lose our lives there."

"Ah Jin, it's not that we don't want to, it's just that there's really no need to take this risk. You're still young. If something really happens to you, how can you marry a wife in the future?"

After speaking one by one, he shook his head and left.

The last brother patted him on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "I know that your Qian family is a kind person, and peace is the most important thing, but who is Xu Baozhu, Kefu, you can tell just by looking at your elder brother. relationship, a good person will be hurt on that bed, you should think about it carefully."

……

"They don't want to?"

"Ah."

Seeing Qian Jin approaching dejectedly, Xu Baozhu roughly guessed what was going on, and now the answer was as she had expected, and she did not feel very disappointed.

"It's okay, if they don't go, the two of us can do it." Xu Baozhu patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "It's better, we can't share it with them at that time, and the two of us will have enough to eat for a long time."

Qian Jin smiled wryly, "Sister, you are so optimistic, there is no sign of this."

"Think about the bright side." Xu Baozhu said: "Okay, then you go home and prepare, and I will also prepare here, and we will set off tonight."

"it is good."

After Qian Jin left, old man Xu came out of the house. He frowned and asked worriedly, "Girl, are you really planning to go?"

"Well, Dad."

Xu Baozhu helped Humanity sit down in the courtyard, and explained to him: "The value of this wild boar is high. If you can really take it down, you won't have to work so hard in the future. You don't want to eat anything. You think about Zhu Yun and me." , leave it to us, and Zhu Yun's injury also needs to be recovered, how can he eat bran swallowed vegetables every day?"

"I know, but you see, a man as strong as Dacheng has been injured like this. You are a girl from every family...you...you said that if something happens to you, how can I tell your aunt who is underground? Tell me!"

"Don't worry, I'm prepared and will protect myself."

"Can……"

"It's okay, I promise, I'll come back safely, and I'll run away if the situation isn't right." Xu Baozhu said with a smile.

The old man Xu still wanted to say something, so it can be seen that she was so interested that she didn't want to interrupt, so she said: "Then be careful, it doesn't matter whether you win or not, the most important thing is your safety."

"Ah."

Zhu Yun leaned on the door and listened to the conversation between the father and daughter.
