Chapter 161 Wild boars are coming to the village
Suddenly, someone shouted in the distance: "The wild boar is coming down the mountain, the wild boar is coming down the mountain..."
The village chief jumped off the kang, put on his shoes and ran out, his cotton-padded jacket falling to the ground.
Qin Dabao is a little addicted to hunting now. When he heard the word "wild boar", his heart itched. He put on his coat and ran out. He surpassed the village chief in a few steps. The village chief was stunned for a moment.
"Village chief, go back and put on your cotton-padded jacket." Qin Dabao ran fast and ran a long distance in a moment, leaving behind a word. The village chief then reacted and hurried back to put on his cotton-padded jacket and hat.
Following the sound of shouting, I ran to the village entrance and saw several villagers being chased all over the field by a cannon basket weighing over 200 kilograms.
Qin Dabao knew at a glance that this was a lone wild boar. There was nothing to eat in the mountains, so it accidentally stumbled into the village.
Qin Dabao pulled out his pistol and fired a shot into the air. He didn't dare to shoot the wild boar directly. The wild boar was chasing several villagers, and he was afraid of hurting them by mistake.
Wild boars are actually very timid. Unless you hurt them, they will not attack people.
The wild boar heard the noise and turned around and ran up the mountain in fear. Could Qin Dabao tolerate it? He ran after it.
The pig and the man were very fast. How could the villagers catch up with them even if they pinched their empty stomachs?
Qin Dabao ran while shooting with his 2-8mm rifle, and one shot hit the hind leg of the cannon basket, causing it to fall over.
Qin Dabao came closer, and the cannon basket stared at him with bloodshot eyes, shouting "Wei, Wei" at Qin Dabao.
Qin Dabao fired two shots, killing the cannon basket.
He found two large branches to use as a sled, placed the cannon basket on top, and pulled it towards the village. The snow was slippery, so it was not too heavy to pull, as he had become very strong.
As soon as Qin Dabao entered the village, he was noticed by people who were talking with their sleeves rolled up. They followed the man pulling the cannon basket with loud shouts and said they would never believe that a person would dare to go into the mountains to hunt wild boars.
Qin Dabao didn't get angry. He put down the branch, took out cigarettes from his pocket, and distributed them to the villagers who were watching the fun.
In rural areas in the north, basically everyone, young and old, men and women, smoke. Those who have the means smoke dry tobacco, while those who don’t dry and crush leaves to smoke. However, few people have ever smoked cigarettes.
Since ancient times, tobacco and alcohol have been the best ways to bring people closer together. The villagers were reluctant to smoke cigarettes. They clamped them on their ears, laughed and chatted with Qin Dabao, and they obviously felt much more enthusiastic.
They had all seen Qin Dabao's methods, and the official uniform he wore made the villagers fear him from the bottom of their hearts, but the distance of a cigarette dissipated a lot of their fear.
The village chief came running in so hastily that the ears of his dog-skin hat were pouting.
"Oh my, son-in-law, no, Comrade Xiao Qin..."
Qin Dabao's eyes widened, and he choked back his words.
"Village chief, don't talk nonsense. Xiaonian is only a little girl. I treat her as my own sister. If you continue to talk nonsense, I won't agree..."
Qin Dabao knew that such discussions must have been widely discussed in the gossip of Sunjiatun, but he could not agree to it. The little girl was only fourteen or fifteen years old, and no matter how beastly he was, he could not bring himself to do that to her.
"Oh, yes, yes, I'm old now and I can't control my mouth."
Qin Dabao sighed, it was like playing the lute to a cow, it was all in vain.
"Okay, stop wasting time and find someone to carry the pig back."
"Hey, that's great."
The cannon basket must have weighed over 200 kilograms. The village chief ordered someone to drag it to the Sun family's house. Wang Guifang and Sun Xiaonian also came out to greet them. Xiaohan jumped up and threw herself on Qin Dabao. Qin Dabao liked this little girl very much. He picked her up, but found that her cotton-padded jacket was too thin, so he unbuttoned the coat and wrapped Xiaohan in his arms.
The child knew who was good to her best. She hugged Qin Dabao's neck and kept calling him brother. Qin Dabao took out some candies and put them in her pocket.
Xiaohan is even happier.
Wang Guifang laughed and scolded: "You damned brat, hurry up and get down, let your elder brother have a rest."
"I don't, I don't."
Sun Xiaonian shouted: "Brother, you killed such a big wild boar..."
Qin Dabao rubbed her hair and said, "Keep the pig's head and trotters, and keep 30 kilograms of meat. Sell the rest to the villagers."
"Ah?" Sun Xiaonian was stunned: "Brother, aren't you going to take the pig home?"
"Well, I don't lack meat to eat, why should I take it home? You can keep it for your family and sell the rest."
Qin Dabao knew that these days, you can't give the whole pig to the Sun family. That would not help them, but harm their family.
"Comrade Xiao Qin, are you saying that you want to sell the meat to us?" The village chief couldn't believe it, and his voice trembled a little.
"Hurry up, find someone to kill the pig, and each family should buy some to eat."
"Well, how much is it per pound?"
"How much is one pound at the supply and marketing cooperative?"
"It seems to be 80 cents. I haven't been there for a long time. I don't know what the price is now."
"Okay, fifty cents a pound, I'll collect the money during the New Year's Eve."
"Okay." The little girl's voice was full of joy.
Qin Dabao didn't care and carried Xiaohan into the house. Runyue was squatting in front of the stove boiling water. Seeing Dabao come in, he quickly stood up and smiled shyly: "Big brother."
It seems that the name "Big Brother" was a unified term adopted by the Sun family after discussion.
Qin Dabao stuffed a few candies into Runyue's pocket and rubbed her head: "Be good."
Leap Moon's eyes curved into crescents and she smiled like a kitten.
Qin Dabao entered the inner room and saw Sun Youfu leaning on the kang. There were two old people sitting cross-legged on the kang. They looked to be Sun Youfu's parents.
When Sun Youfu saw Qin Dabao, he hurriedly got up and said, "Hey, Xiao Qin, why are you chasing wild boars by yourself? Your aunt and I are worried about you."
Qin Dabao put Xiaohan on the kang and quickly held Sun Youfu down: "Okay, uncle, don't get down now. It takes a hundred days to heal your broken bones. You still need to recover."
"This child, oh, these are your grandparents."
"Grandpa Sun, Grandma Sun."
The old man knocked on his pipe and nodded with a smile: "Hurry up, get on the kang, it's warm there."
The old lady stared at Qin Dabao without blinking.
Xiaohan was clever and peeled two candies and stuffed them into grandpa and grandma's mouths.
The old man hugged his granddaughter and said, "My dear granddaughter, come here and let me prick your hair." The old man's gray beard made Xiaohan giggle.
Qin Dabao couldn't stand the old lady's look and said quickly: "Uncle Sun, I won't stay any longer. I have to go home. If I'm any later, my parents will be worried about me."
"Hey, we have to eat before we leave..."
"No, uncle. I killed a wild boar. See how much we can keep for ourselves and sell the rest to the villagers. You can use the money for medical treatment."
"Grandpa and grandma, I'm leaving first."
"Oh no, this is not right, this is not right."
Qin Dabao couldn't stand the constant stream of polite words, so he turned around and walked out.
At this time, the blood in the cannon basket had been drained out, and the village chief was organizing people to boil water to remove the hair. The water boiled in the pot of the Sun family alone was not enough.
Wang Guifang, Sun Xiaonian and Runyue were busy inside and outside, and all three of them had happy smiles on their faces.
Qin Dabao told Wang Guifang and Sun Xiaonian about going home, and Wang Guifang and Sun Xiaonian were so anxious that they jumped up and down.
But Qin Dabao was eager to go home, and there was nothing they could do. Qin Dabao pushed his bicycle out, and Wang Guifang had no choice but to let Sun Xiaonian and Runyue take him out of the village.
