Return to the small mountain village in 1983

Chapter 90 Carrying Pigs into the Village
  "Roar!!"

As soon as he returned to the shelter, the little wild cat tied to the pillar roared angrily at Lin Heng, trying to drive him away.

"Hey, you have a bad temper?" Lin Heng lifted the back of his neck and looked at it carefully. He found that the kitten still had strange eyes.

Two pupils, one golden and one blue, coupled with reddish-brown hair, are really strange.

After looking at it, he threw it on the ground again, then turned around and went to the shelter to pack his things. There were only some ropes, pots, teapots and other scattered items here, which he could fit in the basket on his back.

Looking at the pig badger cub in the carrier and the wild cat cub outside. After a little hesitation, Lin Heng decided to take them back.

"Roar~"

As soon as the little wild cat was thrown in, it ran out angrily and did not want to stay in the carrier at all.

"Oww!!"

After finally putting it in again, it chased the pig badger cub and bit it hard.

“You really don’t want to live anymore, if you mess with me again I will kill you.

What a cheap life, I didn’t know what to do when I saved you, you really want to die, don’t you? "

Lin Heng got angry, pinched its neck, narrowed his eyes and roared, and casually gave it a hard blow.

Maybe he was frightened by Lin Heng's eyes and voice, or maybe he was blinded by the big fight, but this guy finally calmed down.

Lin Heng threw it at the bottom of the backpack, using branches as crossbars. The upper layer was filled with odds and ends from the shelter.

After picking up the things, Lin Heng took Xiongba away. Xiongba walked beside him obediently, looking up at him from time to time.

"It's better to be a dog." Lin Heng glanced at Xiong Ba. When the wild boar rushed towards him, he really dared to attack him.

Even though the wild boar was five or six times its weight, he still dared to bite it. I could only say that I didn't feed it in vain.

By the time he finished all this, it was almost time to set off to the place where he defeated the big wild boar.

"It seems they have gone back, and Xiongba is leading the way."

When Lin Heng arrived, he realized that they had left and the blood on the ground had solidified.

After calling out to Xiongba, he carried the things on his back and chased them, fourteen to five kilometers back. They would not be able to move fast while carrying the wild boar, and Lin Heng was not in a hurry.

Mainly because he wanted to be lazy, but his small shoulders would kill him to carry such a big wild boar.

It took Lin Heng two hours to catch up with them, and he also picked up three chanterelles on the way.

"Oh, take a rest quickly, this is really life-threatening."

After walking for a while, Li Baiquan couldn't hold on anymore.

"Take a rest."

Lu Honghai also nodded, and they put down the wild boar together.

"Lin Heng, you're finally here. Come and change it for me."

Seeing Lin Heng, Li Baiquan said quickly.

"Uncle, you are afraid of killing me."

Lin Heng said with a smile.

Li Baiquan didn't believe that he couldn't lift it: "Can't you even lift it? You are twenty years old and have been married for two years. When I was twenty years old, I carried more than a hundred kilograms of stuff and ran up the mountain."

"I don't know either, try it."

Lin Heng shook his head. He found that Tian Baishun was not there, and asked again: "Where is Old Man Tian?"

Luo Honghai wiped his sweat and sighed: "The old man wanted to help lift him, but he almost lost his waist. I asked him to go back to move the reinforcements, and went back to call for help."

"Ok."

Lin Heng was helpless. He originally wanted to go back and call someone.

"How is your rope trap? Did you get anything?" Li Baiquan took out his dry cigarette and asked as he rolled it.

"There's just a little piggy in the basket, and he's so angry."

Lin Heng pointed at the pig badger cub in the basket on his back.

He still can't figure it out. There were so many traces of prey there, and then he laid more than thirty traps, and finally harvested a cub and a hare.

How could it fail like this?

"Hahaha, that's not bad. You can keep these two alive when you go back."

Li Baiquan laughed and comforted Lin Heng.

"Uncle, do you think there is something wrong with my rope and the King of Hell?" Lin Heng asked again.

Li Baiquan lit the dry smoke, took a deep breath, paused for two seconds, and exhaled bursts of white mist: "There must be nothing wrong with it. That's how hunting is. Sometimes you see a lot of things, but they just can't get there." .”

"Yeah, it's nothing unusual. I've set up a lot of noose traps behind my house, but basically nothing comes of it."

Lu Honghai also said while smoking.

"Ok."

Lin Heng said helplessly that it seemed that his uncle and uncle were used to the air force.

It's like a newbie fishing asking the old men by the water why a pole lasts a day.

Whether you're fishing or hunting, you get used to it being empty.

After resting for a while, the three of them got up and continued walking. Lin Heng came over to help carry the wild boar instead of his uncle.

"I rely on."

Lin Heng felt as if a mountain was pressing on his shoulders as soon as he lifted it up. Pain could be felt on his shoulders with every step he took, and the soles of his feet felt as if they were filled with lead.

After walking only four or five hundred meters, he shouted: "I can't do it, I can't do it, uncle, take a rest quickly, I can't hold on anymore."

His uncle Lu Honghai looked at Lin Heng as if he were trash: "It's such a long way, you can't even walk."

Lin Heng grinned: "You really can't blame me, this thing is really too heavy."

"Hey, forget it, I'll do it."

Uncle Li Baiquan could only come over to replace Lin Heng, and the three of them continued walking.

Within two hours, they couldn't hold on any longer, so they did it again, so that it was carried by three people, two people in front and one person in the back.

Three people carried the big wild boar. They carried it up the mountain and built a frame to drag it down the mountain.

"Wang Wang!!"

It wasn't until after five o'clock in the afternoon that the three of them had walked nearly half of the way.

Lin Heng heard Xiong Ba's warning voice and said happily: "Someone is coming, someone is definitely coming."

"Brother, is that you?" Not long after, Lin Yue's voice came from the front.

"It's my big brother, come and help quickly, this wild boar is too heavy."

Lin Heng called quickly.

Not long after, three people came from the forest in the distance. They were Lin Yue, Lin's father and Tian Baishun.

"Oh my God, such a big wild boar." Lin Yue was a little shocked to see the wild boar.

"It's more than two hundred and fifty kilograms, you still don't believe it?" Old Man Tian glanced at him.

The joy on Father Lin's face was beyond words: "This is absolutely true. It's really amazing. This wild boar is big enough."

"Dad, brother, come and help me, I can't lift it at all."

Lin Heng said with a smile.

The two of them walked over and looked at the wild boar again and again, and finally expressed their emotion: "It's amazing."

Everyone changed the way the wild boar was tied up again, and four people carried it on a board.

"How did you hit him?"

On the way, Father Lin asked curiously.

The four people explained the process one by one, and both of them were frightened. This process was too thrilling.

"Old man Tian, ​​you are so stupid, you almost killed Lin Heng." Lin's father even blamed Tian Baishun.

If Lin Heng hadn't avoided this, he would have had to lie down for several months and let the wild boar's tusks pick him up.

Old Man Tian smiled bitterly and said: "I didn't expect this wild boar to be so ferocious. I have never beaten such a big male wild boar."

"Brother, are you okay?" Lin Yue turned around and asked.

"It's okay, I'm not hurt at all." Lin Heng shook his head and said.

"You must be careful when hunting in the future. Wild boars are too dangerous." Father Lin reminded that he now had a clear understanding of the ferocity of wild boars.

"I may not encounter such a big wild boar next time." Lu Honghai shook his head. The size of this wild boar was beyond their expectations.

Generally, the wild boar hunted is only over [-] kilograms, and there are very few that exceed [-] kilograms.

"Next time I have this opportunity, I will definitely trust Lin Heng's bow and arrow." Tian Baishun also said with a smile.

But Lin Heng didn't take it coldly because there would be no next time.

With the help of his father and eldest brother, Lin Heng is much more relaxed. He only needs to help change shoulders occasionally. It is much easier than before with three people lifting him.

"Lin Heng, we also caught a pig badger cub, and this is a wild cat cub?" When changing shoulders, Lin Yue discovered the cub in the basket on Lin Heng's back.

"Yes, the condom I put on was a big one. It was just a pig badger cub. I picked up the wild cat cub." Lin Heng nodded.

"You are good. You can support yourself alive, which is much better than dead." Lin Yue said.

"I also think it's good. It would be nice to go back and raise it to eat meat during the New Year. It's better than hunting a wild boar directly." Li Baiquan said.

"I don't think it's bad, I just think it's unusual to only get this little guy. I thought it would be a big deal."

Lin Heng shook his head. The reason why he was unhappy was because he was going for big goods from the beginning.

Just like when you go fishing, your goal is to catch a ten-pound carp, but you end up catching a two-ounce small koi. Of course you won't be happy.

If it were a big pig badger and a little guy, he would be grinning from ear to ear.

When it was getting dark, six people entered the village from the west. The village had long heard that a big game had been caught. People were crowded under the big ginkgo tree. They all stood up when they saw everyone coming back.

"Oh my God, this boar is so big."

"You are capable, you are so capable!"

"How many days will it take to eat this? You must be so lucky."

"Look at these wild boar eggs (eggs), they are much bigger than those of domestic pigs. They are absolutely delicious when fried."

A group of people talked to each other, and some offered to help carry it, and they walked towards Lin's house, not to mention how envious their eyes were.

Lin Heng walked at the back, looking at everyone who was either shocked or envious, and felt extremely satisfied. ,

Just when he was happy, he saw his eldest father Lin Xuping and aunt Li Ping coming from a distance with hoes, and he couldn't help but said: "Dad and aunt, how did you know that I killed a big wild boar weighing more than [-] kilograms? ah."

Lin Xuping: "..."

Li Ping: "..."

Li Ping had a dark face and sneered: "What's there to show off? You didn't do it alone. I'm afraid you can't even separate a leg."

Lin Hengshen nodded with approval: "I'm only second-class in martial arts. I can weigh six to seventy pounds, which is really not much. I can only eat meat every day for two or three months."

Li Ping: "..."

She didn't know what to say for a moment. She hadn't smelled meat in more than a month.

"Lin Heng, you have made so much meat. Even if you don't give it to us, give some to your grandma. She is old and has not eaten many meals of meat." Lin Xuping said shamelessly.

Lin Heng raised his head and pondered for a second: "No."

Lin Xuping immediately shouted angrily: "What an unworthy descendant."

Then he took his wife away angrily.

Seeing the two people leaving, Lin Heng spread his hands and was very happy.

"Lin Heng, you are such a bad person. You obviously didn't want to do it, but you deliberately muttered and teased your dad. I have never seen you like this before." A female voice came from behind.

Lin Heng turned around and saw that it was Jin Yan, the youngest daughter of the Jin family, a family with a thousand yuan in the village.

This woman is not married yet. She is a flower in the village. She has a beautiful figure and a good-looking face. She is a beautiful girl who can rival Caiyun.

"No way, that's what second-rate guys are like." Lin Heng spread his hands and laughed at himself.

He didn't want to say much to the woman Jin Yan, because his father had asked someone to tell him about Jin Yan's kin before, but it didn't work. The specific reason was probably because he disliked his family's poverty.

Now that he is married, if he talks to her for a few words, he will be gossiped about.

But he was glad that the marriage had not been agreed, otherwise he would not have met Xiulan, and the whole family would have been in a mess.

Although this woman is beautiful, she has a cold and dissolute temperament. In her previous life, she married another Wang family, a family with a thousand yuan in the village. This caused the Wang family brothers to turn against each other. One of them went to jail, and the other broke his leg.

She herself took up the money and remarried to another county to live a happy life.

Jin Yan glanced at Lin Heng and said with a smile: "With your skills now, no one dares to call you a second-rate person anymore."

She couldn't believe it, how could Lin Heng become so capable now? Recently I heard that he had earned at least several hundred yuan from hunting, so she came here to take a look today.

"It's okay. Are you here to see the big wild boar too?" Lin Heng asked, his tone a little indifferent.

"I'm here to buy pork. My dad heard that you hunted wild boar and wanted to buy some fresh pork to eat. How much does it cost per pound?"

Jin Yan looked at Lin Heng with her eyes, somewhat dissatisfied with his indifference.

"I don't know. Ask the old man Tian Baishun. I can't decide on my own." Lin Heng said this and went home with a backpack on his back.

"You guys, wait for me." Jin Yan still wanted to continue chatting, why did Lin Heng leave? Is she ugly?

"Lin Heng, you guys are awesome this time."

"I heard that you also rescued old man Na Tian. You must take a lot of meat this time."

On the way, the people in the village were extremely envious of Lin Heng, and there was a sour taste in their words.

"Haha, it's okay, it's all thanks to everyone." Lin Heng smiled slightly and left quickly.

The yard of the old house was crowded with people. The village pig butcher had been called, big wooden barrels were taken out, and several pots were boiling water to prepare the pig soup.

Old Man Tian and a group of others sat in the yard and watched, drinking water and bragging about everything from big wild boars to black bears, bragging about how many prey they had caught in the past.

Lin Heng went home directly without going in. When he opened the door, Xiulan and her daughter were indeed at home.

"Dad, hug!"

Xiaoxia was playing with stones under the eaves. When she saw Lin Heng, her eyes lit up and a bright smile broke out on her face. She threw the stones and ran towards him quickly.

"Come on, kiss her!" Lin Heng picked up his baby daughter, kissed her and held her high in the air.

Haw!

The cute little daughter kissed Lin Heng on the face, hugged his neck with her little hands, and said crisply: "Dad, I miss you!"

Lin Heng didn't expect his daughter to say this again, and his heart suddenly melted: "Daddy misses you too, please give me another kiss."

He kissed his daughter hard on her soft little face and lifted her up high: "Who taught you to say you miss me, baby?"

"It's mom, mom said it herself." Xiaoxia said crisply, her words becoming more sincere every day in the past two days.

Xiulan, who was boiling water in the kitchen, heard this and said quickly: "I taught her, I didn't say anything."

"Hahaha." Lin Heng laughed, and took out a pack of raspberries wrapped in a handkerchief from his pocket and gave it to his daughter: "This is for you, eat it quickly."

Xiaoxia was a little afraid to eat thornberries for the first time. Lin Heng took one and fed it to her. After a while, her eyes turned into small crescents: "It's sweet, I still eat it."

The little mouth is open, waiting for dad to feed it.

Lin Heng walked into the main room while feeding her and put the raspberry on the table. Lin Heng put his daughter down temporarily.

"Honey, I shot a big wild boar today, weighing more than two hundred kilograms." Lin Heng chuckled.

"I know, and I also know that you were almost hit by a wild boar. Don't be so careless next time you hunt." Xiulan looked at him and said.

Lin Heng took his wife's hand, touched it, and smiled: "It's okay, there won't be a next time. I won't go hunting with Old Man Tian anymore. This guy is very unreliable."

"That's good. You should pay attention to your own safety when hunting." Xiulan looked at Lin Heng and felt relieved when she saw no wounds on his body.

"I know. Look, I brought back two cubs, a wild cat and a pig badger." Lin Heng said as he took out the two cubs.

"Hello, pig and badger cub. It just so happens that we don't have any piglets. We can raise them as pigs during the Chinese New Year." Xiulan looked at the pig and badger cub with great fondness. As for the wild cat cub, she was not that interested.

"I think so too. This is still a boar badger cub. I will have it sterilized (neutered) when it gets older. The meat will be even more delicious during the Chinese New Year."

Lin Heng said with a smile.

"Besides this, I also brought two fish back, you see." Lin Heng took out two more fine salmon. Because they were salted, they are not bad now, but they will last until noon tomorrow at most.

It's best to eat it tonight, it tastes the best and won't spoil.

"Is this plum blossom fish? Did you catch it in the mountains?" Xiulan was a little surprised. The fish sold in the market was very valuable. She had seen people selling it for one yuan and a half a catty in Lushui County before.

Qinling fine-scaled salmon is the scientific name, and they generally call it plum blossom fish or flower fish here.

"Yes, I saw a few and brought them back specifically for you and your daughter." Lin Heng chuckled.

Xiulan's face showed joy, Lin Heng often gave her such small gifts.

"Then I'll take it and put it in the well to freeze, and we can eat it tomorrow morning." Xiulan said with a smile.

The mountain spring water in the well is only more than ten degrees, which can preserve the quality of meat very well.

"Dad, I want more."

Xiulan went to store the fish, while Xiaoxia finished eating the thornberries, then hugged Lin Heng's legs and cried for food.

"It's gone now. Can I pick it for you tomorrow?" Lin Heng looked at his daughter and said.

"No, no, no, you have to eat, you have to eat!" Xiaoxia's head was shaking like a rattle.

Lin Heng had no choice but to spread his hands and said, "It's really gone. I won't lie to you. I'll pick it tomorrow. If I keep arguing, I won't like you anymore."

As he said that, he picked up his daughter and lifted her up high. After playing with her for a while, she temporarily forgot about the thornberries.

"Dog!"

Lin Heng put her on the ground, and she ran to play with Xiong Ba again, unable to relax.

"Woo~"

The Xiongba lying on the ground showed a helpless expression, why did his eyes suddenly shift to it?
