Rebirth 1983: Back to the day when his wife and daughter died

However, these people were willing to work, and Xu Yang had nothing to say. After all, they were recruited by the village chief. As long as they could build a solid wooden house, that would be enough.

It's just that he originally wanted to give the village chief some reward, but seeing the smile on his face from ear to ear, he stopped catching the eels and thought better of it.

As these people were working enthusiastically, Xu Yang later replaced the donkey at home in order to speed up the work.

Also dissatisfied that there were too few people now, Xu Yang asked the village chief to find three more people.

Xu Tianhai happily agreed, after all, the more people there are, the more benefits he will get.

Even after three o'clock in the afternoon, when there are usually the most people, it becomes much more relaxed.

Occasionally, some people come here to sell eels, but most of them come here to buy cloth.

Xu Yang was also helping his wife. By around four or five o'clock, there were more and more people, but they were basically people from the mountain village.

Xu Yang took the opportunity to leave behind four people, all of whom Xu Yang thought were good hunters.

~

"What do you think Xu Yang is doing by leaving a few of us behind?"

"I don't know, there must be something good going on! Look at this girl Xiuying, she only earns one dollar a day. I really envy this old man."

"Uncle Fugui, what's the use of envy? Why don't you catch more eels? How many kilograms of eels did you catch today?"

"You little bastard, don't pry around when you have nothing to do." Li Fugui blushed. Many of the fields he went to today had been caught, so he caught three pounds.

Although Li Fugui is over 50 years old, he is strong and strong. He used to be considered a legend in the village.

I heard that he and his father Li Dashan were originally hunters who lived in the mountains. One year, more than a dozen Japanese soldiers came to the village to raid the village.

Everyone in the village hid in the back mountains, and the little devil wanted to go up the mountain to arrest people.

Seeing this, Li Fugui's father went to fight with the Japanese in the mountains in order to stop them.

With the bow and arrow in his hand, he shot the two Japs to death.

Another one fell into a trap. The Japanese did not dare to go up the mountain, but he himself was beaten into a sieve.

Later, Li Fugui moved down the mountain and got married with the help of the villagers in the mountain village. However, his wife died of illness within two years, leaving only three children waiting to be fed.

As a result, there was a food shortage in the early years, and the children were very hungry.

Seeing this, he just relied on hunting to raise his three children.

Now that the children are older, the fields have been divided. In the early years, there was a food shortage. He could eat almost everything that could be eaten in the mountains, and there was not much prey, so he didn't go hunting much in the mountains.

In addition, Xu Yang's life for catching tortoises and eels and loaches Li Fugui was better, but his eel catching skills were not comparable to his hunting skills.

Catching five or six kilograms a day is considered good, so he was ridiculed.

After all, everyone here knows how to hunt, so when it comes to Li Fugui's hunting skills, that's certainly not the case.

"Xu Yang, what's going on? Tell us about it quickly."

As soon as they saw that Xu Yang had paid all the workers who were building the house, Li Fugui and others hurriedly asked. They were also very jealous. There were so many people now. Many of them caught eels and bastards but could not sell them for even one piece a day.

"Uncle Fugui, I'm here to hunt with you." Xu Yang said with a smile,

Li Fugui is the oldest among them. The reason why I approached Li Fugui this time is because he not only has good skills but also has experience in hunting wild boars.

"Hunting? I thought I was doing something good. It turned out to be hunting. What kind of prey can I hunt now when I go up the mountain?" Li Fugui couldn't help but shook his head after hearing this.

"Yes! Uncle Fugui is right. A few months ago, I was thinking of going to the mountains to hunt game to satisfy my craving. I met several hares, but I didn't catch any of them."

"How many more can you encounter? I spent a fucking day in the mountains and I didn't see a single rabbit hair."

"I think it's better to forget about Xu Yang's hunting. We should just go and catch tortoises and eels, which is more stable."

…………

Xu Yang also knows that hunting in the mountains now depends entirely on luck.

Usually people want to try their luck in the mountains when they are not busy with farming and cannot find work.

So when he heard that he wanted to find someone to go hunting in the mountains, no one was willing. Even Li Fugui shook his head after hearing this.

…………

"Don't worry! Uncle Fugui, don't worry, I won't let you go up the mountain in vain. As long as you go up the mountain, you will get one yuan. If you catch a lot of prey, I will give you more. Of course, the prey is mine."

"You can get one yuan just for going up the mountain. Is there such a good thing?"

"I know, Xu Yang's trick is to cast a wide net. As long as one of us catches one, he can keep his capital."

"You're thinking too much, what if we don't get hit!"

Hearing their speculations, Xu Yang really couldn't laugh or cry.

"Okay, you don't have to guess, I won't let you separate. On the contrary, you must be together, and everyone must prepare for this."

As he spoke, Xu Yang brought over a thick, sharpened wooden stick that he had made earlier to check whether the wild boar was dead.

I saw a sharpened thick wooden stick in Xu Yang's hand.

Everyone: “………………”

Li Fugui: "Xu Yang is not what Uncle Fugui said to you. He just goes into the mountains to hunt for prey. Even if he can catch it, there is no need to be so cruel to pheasants and hares. It is too cruel."

"Yes~Uncle Fugui is right, bringing such a thing up the mountain is too exaggerated..."

"Okay, I won't hide it from you. I went up the mountain a while ago and found a wild boar in the mountain." Xu Yang said slowly.

"Wild boar?" When those young people heard this, their eyes sparkled.

You must know that a pound of wild boar meat can be sold for more than one piece at least. If you catch one that weighs a hundred pounds,

It can be sold for more than 100 yuan, but there are no wild boars in the mountains now, otherwise they would have died long ago.

"Xu Yang, there really are wild boars on the mountain, are you kidding me?" Even Li Fugui on the side asked in disbelief.

"Really, I escaped from a pig's mouth. The wild boar weighed about two hundred pounds," Xu Yang explained.

"Two hundred pounds??."

Hearing this, Li Fugui's expression changed when he looked at Xu Yang. He was able to escape from the mouth of a two hundred kilogram wild boar.

This is not a simple matter. Sometimes some people may think that there are many trees on the mountain and it will be fine if they just climb the trees.

But Li Fugui knew that most people without courage would not be able to react at all, and even experienced hunters would stumble if they were not careful.

Even when he hunted the wild boar, he did it with the villagers. After all, there was no food to eat at that time. There were so many people in the mountains that the bark of the trees was being chewed.

If Xu Yang really hunts a wild boar, what will you give him..."

"Don't worry, as long as you can hunt wild boars, you will get a lot of money. Half of the money from selling wild boars will be yours."

"Of course you don't want to, you can go by yourself if you want. If something happens, don't blame me." Xu Yang said slowly.

"Half?" Everyone's expressions lit up when they heard this. You have to know that a wild boar is not easy to kill, and it is hard to tell whether it can be touched or not if the mountain is so big.

Besides, Xu Yang is the only one who can recruit so many people in the village and is willing to give money.
