Rebirth of Bayi Fishing and Hunting in the Northwest

Chapter 152 Catching a Little Wild Boar
Li Long rode his bicycle to the mountain pass, then turned along the narrow path to the area where he set up the trap.

When he was still a few hundred meters away from that area, Li Long heard the shrill cry of a wild boar - it was a little wild boar!
It seems like I’ve been tricked!

Li Long was a little excited. He pedaled the bike quickly. When he was almost at the top of the mountain, he threw the bike aside, picked up his gun and sack, and rushed down the mountain.

Then he saw that in that area, there were more than a dozen big wild boars and twenty or thirty small wild boars gathered together. Some of the wild boars did not pay much attention to the shrill cries of the small wild boars and continued to eat the grass roots on the ground. At this time, eating was the most important thing for them.

The little wild boar's mother, the sow, surrounded the little wild boar, humming constantly, and even tried to break the wire.

Leading the group was a large boar weighing about 200 kilograms, with a small part of its fangs exposed. It seemed to sense something was wrong, and first it grunted, then began to yell loudly. It did not sit down, but stood up, turned around and rushed up the mountain!

Li Long felt a little strange. He was still some distance away from them, and the wind was blowing from the side, so it was unlikely that he would be discovered, right?
Then, he saw someone exclaiming:

"Wild boar!"

Li Long was so angry that he wanted to curse - but he didn't care about that at the moment. He half-knelt down, raised his gun and shot at the half-grown wild boar that was rushing up the mountain.

Li Long now has experience. For those who are running sideways along the ridge, he has to aim at the front half of their body. For those who are rushing up the mountain, he has to raise his shot high. The judgment at that moment is very important.

"Pah, pah, pah", the crisp sound of a small-caliber gun rang out four times in succession. At a distance of less than 80 meters, Li Long clearly saw several blood spots coming out of the body of the half-grown wild boar, and then it fell to the ground and rolled down the hillside until it was blocked by a bush, its body still twitching.

The other big wild boars and many small wild boars had already fled into the bushes or climbed over the opposite mountain and could not be found.

Only then did Li Long have time to look at the guy who shouted - Xu Jianjun.

Xu Jianjun did not disturb Li Long's hunting consciousness at all. After seeing the wild boar run away, he ran over from the ravine in the east and rushed directly towards the little wild boar caught in the trap.

"Don't move!" Li Long was holding a gun. He was very angry. Not only did this guy scatter the wild boars, but now he was planning to touch those little wild boars!

Xu Jianjun paused for a moment, then said nonchalantly:

"Xiaolong, you're not so stingy, are you? I'm just taking a look, I'm not letting you take it away. Do you know that the calls of these little wild boars are so unpleasant? I got up early and looked around to see which one was good, but I didn't expect..."

"Don't move!" Li Long shouted again, "Don't you know that you scared the wild boars? If not, I could have killed at least two or three of them! Also, be careful next time you see a group of wild boars. If those big wild boars really rush towards you, you will be seriously injured if not killed!"

"Xiaolong, don't be so serious. This thing will be scared away by the noise, how could it come towards people?" Xu Jianjun still looked nonchalant, but when he saw that Li Long had a gun in his hand, he became hesitant and stopped moving forward, but his eyes were still on the little wild boars, full of curiosity.

Li Long turned off the safety, put away the gun and put it on his shoulder, then strode down to the bushes where the holsters were placed, and began to unhook the holsters one by one and put them into the sack.

The wild boars were just like the ones seen in the short video in the previous life, with black and gray stripes, and they were very ferocious. They would squeak and scream if touched lightly. However, Li Long did not tolerate them. He simply pinched their necks, untied the noose and threw them into the sack, then tied the mouth and untied the next one.

"Xiaolong, these little wild boars are great, give me one!" Xu Jianjun ran over familiarly, watching Li Long untying the little wild boars one by one, and said with envy in his eyes.

"No. If you want it, go catch it yourself." Li Long was annoyed. Why is this guy so unconscious? I only heard that he was not very good before, but I didn't have much contact with him. Now it seems that he is really not very good!
"Don't be so stingy!" Xu Jianjun asked himself if it was still difficult to catch it, but it was ready, so he could just take it. Even if he couldn't keep the little wild boar alive, the meat would definitely be delicious now!

There were more than twenty traps, and a total of five wild boars were caught. The leg of one of them was bleeding due to the wire. Li Long didn't care much. He put all five wild boars into a sack and started collecting the traps.

Xu Jianjun was a little angry when he saw that Li Long was unmoved, but the gun in Li Long's hand was younger than him, so he couldn't say anything. Just then he saw an empty sheath not far from his feet, so he took it off while Li Long was not paying attention.

After removing three condoms in a row, Li Long turned around and Xu Jianjun stopped.

Li Long untied the condom and twisted it together, then carried the sack and walked towards the half-grown wild boar - although it was inconvenient to carry the sack, and the little wild boars were rubbing their feet in it, but he was even more worried about Xu Jianjun being around. If this guy wanted to do something bad, it would be hard to say what he could do if he didn't pay attention.

The wild boar was already dead. Li Long drew the knife from his waist and began to bleed the wild boar.

"It's such a waste to drain all this blood!" Xu Jianjun interjected when he saw Li Long stepping on the wild boar and watching the blood oozing out of the wild boar.

Li Long turned his head and looked at him. Just with this one look, Xu Jianjun didn't dare to speak.

The look in the eyes of the Li family's waiter is so scary!
After draining all the blood from the wild boar, Li Long was about to open the boar's stomach when he heard someone shouting in the distance:

"Is it Brother Long?"

It was Tao Daqiang's voice.

Li Long guessed that he must have heard the sound of his shooting, so he rushed over.

"Daqiang, come and help." Li Long called out. With Tao Daqiang's help, he could finish the next step faster.

Although the weather is not very hot now, it is still different from winter. The wild boar meat should be processed as soon as possible, otherwise it will be wasted if it becomes smelly.

Xu Jianjun originally wanted to follow Li Long and take advantage of him, but now that Tao Daqiang had arrived, he knew there was no hope, so he turned around and left.

Tao Daqiang quickly came to Li Long and began to help Li Long deal with the wild boar.

"Take these offal back with you and help Uncle Gu deal with them. It will be a snack for you at noon." Li Long said as he cut open the pigs. "Please help me put them on the bicycle. I still need to deal with these little wild boars. They are not easy to deal with."

The boar weighed more than 50 kilograms without the internal organs, and was quite thin, but Li Long did not dislike it and kept even the head and hooves. Although they had eaten a lot of meat this winter, in fact, in 1982, most families might not be able to eat meat for a few meals a year.

Although there are several households in the team that raise pigs, the pigs are most likely sold for money in the winter so that old accounts can be settled at the end of the year.

Tao Daqiang turned his head and glanced at Xu Jianjun, and asked in a low voice:
"Brother Xiaolong, what is he doing here?"

"He heard the squeals of the wild boars I caught in the traps, so he came over to check it out. He ended up scaring the wild boars. Otherwise, I could have killed one or two more. I finally found a herd of wild boars, but he almost disturbed them."

He used a knife to cut open the wild boar's stomach and poured out the contents. Li Long wiped the knife with some grass and stuffed the wild boar's stomach back into the pig's stomach. This thing was a good thing, and he had to save it even if he didn't sell it. Seeing that Li Long had almost finished cleaning the pig, Tao Daqiang was not afraid of getting dirty, and carried the wild boar toward the ridge.

Li Long followed with the sack in his hand. When they reached the bicycle, he handed the offal except the boar stomach to Tao Daqiang and said:
"You can take it back. I'll send the pork back first and come back this afternoon or tomorrow."

"Row."

He tied the pig to the back seat of the bicycle, then tightened the mouth of the sack containing the little wild boar and spread it over the pig, ensuring that the little wild boar had limited space to move around but would not move around and affect the balance of the bicycle. Li Long pedaled quickly down the mountain.

After watching Li Long leave, Tao Daqiang returned to the hillside, sorted out the pig's internal organs and offal, and carried them towards Xiaobaiyanggou.

In Baiyanggou, Xu Jianjun and others were talking bad about Li Long:
"…If I hadn't blocked the east ditch, he wouldn't have been able to catch anything! As a result, after killing the wild boar, he didn't even ask to give me a share. He even said something ridiculous about me, and even refused to let me see the little wild boar he had caught!
"This Li family's waiter has really grown too ambitious this winter. His eyes are looking up to the sky. He will never be a worry-free person in the future!"

He was about to continue speaking, but he realized that everyone's eyes were looking in the direction he came from.

Tao Daqiang was panting as he rushed over here, carrying a bunch of pig offal in his hands. When he saw Gu Boyuan and the others, he shouted:
"Everyone, come and help. This thing is too hard to carry! With these, we can have a few good meals in the remaining days!"

After hearing what Tao Daqiang said, everyone understood that the wild boar killed by Li's waiter was not only distributed to everyone, but also a lot of it!
These people ran over to help get things. Old Gu, who was lighting a fire at the stove, said happily:

"I was just worrying about how to improve the food for everyone. Now it's good. Although this wild boar offal has a bit of smell, it's better than letting you eat steamed bread and red tofu every day!"

Xu Jianjun muttered there: This meat may not be as delicious as red tofu.

"Jianjun, what are you saying? Come over here and help me turn out the intestines!" Xie Yundong saw that everyone was busy and Xu Jianjun was standing in front of the dugout and didn't come over, so he called out to him.

Although Xu Jianjun was disobedient, he was the captain's cousin after all. He had only been there for one day, and Xie Yundong didn't want Xu Jianjun to be isolated.

However, the others knew it well. Xu Jianjun had just slandered Li Long for not giving him a share of the meat, and then Li Long asked Tao Daqiang to bring the internal organs over. The slap in the face happened so quickly that Xu Jianjun himself didn't react and was too embarrassed to come over.

But no one explained it. Some things are better to just know. No one is a child. It's enough to know right from wrong in your mind.

Li Long rode to the county, already sweating. Although the wild boar was not big, it would slide when tied to the back seat of the bicycle unlike food. Plus, there were five little wild boars that were not obedient, so it was quite laborious.

He unloaded the young wild boars into the large yard, then took the wild boars off the ground, spread plastic sheets on the ground, and began to cut them up.

He cut off a front leg, cut a rib into two halves, put them on the bicycle, and pushed it out.

After locking the door to the courtyard, Li Long first came to the police station. The policeman at the door asked him who he was looking for, and he said he was looking for Officer Guo.

After a while, Guo Tiebing walked out and was a little surprised to see Li Long.

"Officer Guo, I went into the mountains and killed a wild boar. You've been patrolling and working hard, so I'm giving you this half of the pork ribs as a token of my appreciation."

"No, no, no, we can't take it." Guo Tiebing looked at the pork ribs with envy, but still refused, "It is our tradition not to take a single needle or thread from the masses..."

"This is not a needle and thread." Li Long said as he unloaded the ribs, "I sincerely thank you, but this is not a good thing..."

After saying this, he threw the ribs at Guo Tiebing's feet and said:

"I have to go back to the supply and marketing cooperative for something, so I won't say much. Bye!"

After saying that, he got on his bike and drove away.

Half a saddle of spareribs weighs about ten kilograms, and Guo Tiebing was worried when he saw it. At this time, the director inside heard the noise and came out. When he saw the spareribs, he was a little surprised and asked what was going on.

Guo Tiebing told him about Li Long's situation and the incident with the pork ribs. The director smiled and said:
"Since it was sent by the public, let's accept it. It's just right for lunch. After we cook it, we can pack it up when we go back in the afternoon. We can just strengthen security patrols in the future."

Li Long rode his bike to the supply and marketing cooperative and told the security guard that he was looking for Section Chief Li Xiangqian. Uncle Li was not there, and the young security guard remembered Li Long and let him in directly.

Li Long went to Li Xiangqian's office and saw him smoking inside. He knocked on the door and went in. He put the wild boar leg on the ground and said:

"Chief Li, this was just made this morning. Try it."

"Xiao Li, you are amazing!" Li Xiangqian was surprised when he saw the pig leg. He had enough meat, but what did it mean that Li Long could get something so early? It meant that the small-caliber rifle was really worth it in his hands.

Li Long was not trying to curry favor with Li Xiangqian, he just wanted to thank him - three hundred porters could earn him three hundred yuan, which was a worker's annual salary in those days!
Li Xiangqian gave it to someone else but not to anyone. According to Li Xiangqian, it was for the sheep's head, but Li Long felt that he had taken advantage of it, so he returned it.

After leaving Li Xiangqian, Li Long went to the purchasing station again. Chen Hongjun was collecting licorice roots. There were a lot of licorice roots because the land had been plowed and reclaimed recently.

"Comrade Chen, I went up the mountain and hunted a wild boar. I'll give you some wild boar meat to eat."

"Thank you, thank you!" Chen Hongjun was really happy. He was a little surprised that Li Long thought of him after killing a wild boar. "I'll give you money..."

"What money? I'm leaving now. I have something else to do." Li Long put down the wild boar meat and left. He was really anxious. The little wild boar had to be sent back quickly, otherwise it would suffocate to death.

"Old Chen, do you know this person?" another employee at the purchasing station asked Chen Hongjun, his eyes full of envy.

"I know him. He's a non-staff purchasing agent for the supply and marketing cooperative and he often goes into the mountains." Chen Hongjun would not say that he often came to sell things, as it would make people think that he was doing something for personal gain. In fact, he always gave Li Long a fair evaluation of his products.

Li Long returned to the compound, tied up the remaining wild boar meat, tied up the sack containing the wild boar piglets, pushed the cart out, locked the door, and rode back to the team.
