Chapter 39
In the past few days, a good thing that is worth celebrating has happened in the village. Many people witnessed the tiger that caused harm to the village. For some reason, it rolled down the mountain and was washed away by the fast river. Since then, the village has been peaceful and everyone has returned to the village. No need to worry anymore.

Song Jinyue felt quite regretful. If the tiger was handed over to the Yamen, she might get a reward, but she directly handed the tiger over to the Yamen and there was something wrong with it.

"Oh, why doesn't Jinyue come back?"

Mrs. Song had already cooked breakfast, and when she couldn't see Song Jinyue, she couldn't help but become a little anxious.

"I'll go look for it!"

Song Hailong was also worried that something might happen to Song Jinyue. Although this girl was smart, she was still a 12-year-old girl, so she had to be more careful.

"I'm with big brother!"

Song Haitao got up and chased after him.

However, after searching the entire village, no one from Song Jinyue was found.

"Jinyue, Jinyue!"

They left the village and shouted anxiously.

"Second uncle, younger uncle, help!"

Song Jinyue ran down the mountain, followed closely by a fat wild boar.

"Oh, what a big wild boar!"

Song Haitao's head was in a mess. Wild boars looked silly and started to squeal. They were not easy to mess with. When he was in Stone Village, there were wild boars rushing down from the mountains and knocking down the people working in the fields to the ground alive. Bite to death.

Seeing Song Jinyue being bitten by a wild boar on her trouser leg and then falling down, the brothers' hearts were in their throats.

The wild boar's eyes were full of anger. This human provoked it for no reason, and it wanted to bite her to death.

Song Hailong quickly took off the ax from his waist. Since the tiger incident, men basically carry weapons with them in case of emergency.

Although it is now rumored that the tiger is dead, everyone still dare not relax completely. Without the tiger, there is no guarantee that there will be no other wild beasts in the mountains.

In order to save their niece, the two brothers flew towards the wild boar with their axes in hand.

Song Haitao didn't even look at it, and just chopped at random. Song Hailong aimed at the forehead, and with a few blows of the ax, the wild boar fell to the ground and died.

"Woo, you scared me to death!"

The potatoes in Song Jinyue's basket rolled to the floor, along with some wild vegetables. She started to cry, as if she was really frightened.

"Yue Yatou, it's okay, stop crying!"

When Song Hailong saw his little niece crying, he comforted her with distress, but couldn't say any words of blame.

"I just heard from those refugees that they only go there if there are potatoes and sweet potatoes in the mountains!"

Song Jinyue wiped her tears, looked at Song Hailong's hesitant expression, and said with sobs.

"I'm only at the foot of the mountain, I haven't gone deep!"

"Oh, no one blames you!"

Song Haitao saw that there were no wounds on the little niece's body, so he laughed and said, "But if you have nothing to do in the future, you'd better not run up the mountain!"

"My eldest brother and I will go to the county town tomorrow to find some work to do. Our family's life will be better in the future!"

He looked at the big wild boar and felt extremely happy. He thought that when his eldest brother hunted in the mountains, he would make traps for pheasants, roe deer, rabbits and other small animals. The wild boar they hunted today was better than his eldest brother's. All the prey you hunt in half your life is worth something.

But he was also worried. This wild boar seemed to be quite heavy. He and his second brother might not be able to carry it!

However, they shot this wild boar, so they can't let anyone know about it, otherwise there will be many people who want to take advantage.

"Second Uncle, I know there is a good place at the foot of the nearby mountain, just big enough to hide this wild boar!" Song Jinyue had put away her crying face and smiled, "Then, you or Second Uncle can go back to the village and pull the flatbed truck, and then get the bedding to cover it. one time."

"That's it, hide it first!"

Fortunately, it was early in the morning, and most people were cooking or eating at this moment, so there was really no one around.

The uncle and nephew spent some effort to drag the wild boar to the cave and hide it, and then Song Hailong went back to pull the cart.

After arriving home, he briefly talked about the situation with Mrs. Song. The story about Song Jinyue's almost encounter with danger was hidden in the story. Mrs. Song and others were very surprised when they heard this.

"But don't tell anyone about this!"

Song Hailong was worried that if he told the story, the Song family would be remembered. Now everyone has little money and is eating relief food. If your family makes money by hunting wild boars, some people will definitely get pink eye.

After Song Hailong finished speaking, he pushed the car and left home. Someone who saw him couldn't help but asked curious questions.

Song Hailong didn't panic. He only said that he planned to chop down some trees and bring them back for firewood. No one doubted that he was there. After all, Liu Guisheng and others often pushed the flat cart out to pull firewood.

Both of them discussed with Song Hailong, and later borrowed a car to haul firewood. Song Hailong did not refuse and nodded in agreement.

Then, the two brothers quickly left the village and arrived near the cave. They checked around again before dragging the wild boar into the car and covering it with a bedding.

Song Hailong pushed the cart and took Song Jinyue and Song Haitao to the county seat.

There are shops in the county that specialize in collecting game meat. They chose the largest shop and pushed in.

Seeing the plump wild boar brought by several people, the shopkeeper was really surprised. Many restaurants in the county asked for wild boar. Those rich people like these game foods. With this order, he can make a lot of money. .

"I'll tell you about the price in advance. I'll give you 120 yuan per catty for this wild boar. What do you think?"

The boss's eyes were shrewd, and he directly raised the price to the price in several people's minds.

Now that there is a famine in the country, the price of rice has risen to thirty cents per catty, and the price of ordinary pork fluctuates around sixty cents. The wild boar is priced at 120 cents per catty, which is already a lot.

"Okay, let's do it!"

The three of them exchanged glances and then nodded.

"However, we have to keep a piece of this wild boar meat to eat at home!" Song Jinyue said with a smile.

"Okay, since you agree, I'll weigh it first!!"

The shop owner called in the work, cleaned the wild boar, cut it into pieces and weighed it. All the dignitaries and wealthy squires in the county loved the wild boar meat. After he cut it up, he could deliver it directly to restaurants.

The wild boar was weighed and a small piece left by several people was removed. The total was 51 kilograms, which was converted into 840 taels of silver and [-] wen.

Seeing the shopkeeper take out the sum of money, Song Haitao said, "It's only a little short of 52 taels of silver. Please give it a round. If we hunt other prey in the future, we will still give this to you!"

"Ha, you are quite interesting, so I'll give you 52 taels!"

After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he exchanged the copper plate for one tael of silver, which was exactly 52 taels, and gave it to Song Hailong.

"Thank you!"

Song Hailong slightly cupped his hands to express his gratitude, and then left the shop with his brother and niece.

"Uncle, you were really awesome just now!"

Song Jinyue was naturally referring to the matter he asked the shop owner to organize.

"It's just a try. If he agrees, we will have some extra money. If he doesn't agree, we won't lose anything!"

Song Haitao just said it casually, but he didn't expect that people would really agree. 52 taels of silver is a huge sum of money!
