Chapter 718

Perhaps the wild boars also knew that this was the last period before winter when they could eat good things, so after they rushed into the alfalfa field noisily, they immediately scattered and each found a piece of land to root and eat.

The small wild boars would pick and choose the tender alfalfa to eat, while the experienced old wild boars would directly root open the soil layer above to gnaw on those alfalfa roots that were easy to fill their stomachs, making satisfied grunting sounds while eating.

The largest male wild boar running at the back had vigilance, but it wasn't strong. Li Long guessed it should be that the continuous successful feeding over the past few days made it feel there was no danger.

The place where they ambushed was thirty or forty meters away from the wild boars, and those with slightly poor eyesight could only see dark shadows.

Li Long wasn't sure if Meng Hai and the others could see the position of the wild boars clearly. He now regretted a little that he should have been more diligent in the afternoon; since he was ambushing here, he should have dug a few large pits on the opposite side. Once the guns fired here, the wild boars that weren't hit would definitely run to the opposite side, and if they fell into the pits, he could catch a few more without wasting bullets.

It was still that his experience was too little, and he was a bit arrogant.

But it was too late to regret now; Li Long watched those wild boars that had already relaxed and were eating lazily, and he felt that Meng Hai and the others had also adapted to the light at night, so he shouted in a low voice:

"Shoot!"

At the same time he shouted shoot, he had already fired at a half-grown wild boar at the farthest position of the wild boar group!

Li Long wanted to use his marksmanship and speed to hunt as many wild boars as possible!

"Bang!"

After one shot, Li Long didn't even look to see if that wild boar was knocked down; while these wild boars were stunned, he quickly moved the muzzle and aimed at another wild boar, firing "bang".

When he fired the second shot, Meng Hai and the others fired their first shot; Li Long didn't care about the wild boars that were hit, his third shot aimed at a small wild boar that had been frightened and scattered—this wild boar had no experience and actually ran to the northwest when frightened, its body facing Li Long sideways; how could he miss such a good shooting opportunity?

"Bang!"

Li Long took the lead, and this shot hit the shoulder blade of the small wild boar accurately; the wild boar fell down, twitched, and didn't move.

When he aimed again, he couldn't see the shadows of other wild boars.

He looked back at the few places he aimed at and found that the three wild boars he just hit were all hit and lying on the ground without moving.

There were still a few wild boars left in the alfalfa field, big and small. The largest one was almost ninety-something kilograms, an old sow of several years.

The smallest was the one Li Long hit last, weighing about twenty or thirty kilograms.

"Put away the guns, the harvest is not bad!" Li Long said loudly, and while speaking, he had already turned off the safety, flicked the gun strap with his thumb, and carried the gun on his back.

The other three also put away their guns, while Meng Hai turned off the safety and then released the bayonet, walking forward while laughing.

"Comrade Li Long, your marksmanship is good, three wild boars, tsk tsk, amazing!" Meng Hai hit two, originally thinking he was already very amazing, but looking at the scene, counting the wild boars, and looking at the bullet holes on their bodies, he immediately discovered that in the direction Li Long arranged for himself earlier, three wild boars were lying far and near.

Li Long just finished counting, five people hunted a total of eight wild boars, he had three, Meng Hai had two, and the other three each had one.

Not bad, really not bad.

"You keep this half-grown one to eat, and I'll take the rest away." Li Long didn't stand on ceremony this time, saying, "I have to thank you this time, otherwise I really couldn't have hunted so many."

"What's there to be polite about? You take them all away, if we want to eat, we'll hunt again." Meng Hai waved his hand, "Your matter is urgent."

"No no no, that's enough." Li Long said with a smile, "I can't let you run for nothing, it's a matter of principle, I won't change it. Good, I'm going to drive the car over to haul the pigs."

Since Li Long said so, Meng Hai didn't insist anymore; favors can be repaid later, and mutual exchange is the way to last long.

Smiles also appeared on the faces of the other few people—when Meng Hai called them, he clearly said it was to help, and whatever they hunted would be given to Li Long.

They were also willing to do so; after all, Li Long gave them the big broom job in the team, and they also earned money. This was just working hard for one night, which was considered repaying Li Long, and it was all as it should be.

Now that Li Long said to leave a wild boar for them to share, they were naturally even happier; who wouldn't be happy to have meat to eat?

Li Long drove the jeep over and stopped at the edge of the field, and a few people carried the guns and lifted the wild boars to put them into the car.

Stuffing seven wild boars into the jeep was also quite a feat; it was just that except for the sow, the others weren't very large, otherwise, this jeep wouldn't have been able to haul them.

"Old Meng, brothers, I'll go first. These wild boars were just slaughtered, I have to hurry back to find someone to process them, you guys hurry back too, it's not light yet, you can still rest for a while."

"Comrade Li Long, do you want to process them in our team before hauling them back? It's meat when you haul it back, easy to handle." Meng Hai tried to persuade him to stay.

"No need, no need, it's already troublesome enough to let you help hunt, if I let you help process the meat, I'll be embarrassed to come over again later." Li Long smiled and said, "I won't take you back, I'll come over again when I have time."

"Alright, drive slowly, pay attention to safety on the road." Meng Hai said, waving his hand.

Li Long said goodbye to the others one by one, then closed the door, started the engine, turned on the lights, and drove the jeep away.

"When can we drive a car too?" Someone licked their lips and said enviously.

"Don't even think about it in this life." Another person hit him, "Think about how to divide this wild boar meat first."

"Let's go, carry it back to my house, we'll skin it directly and divide it on the spot." Meng Hai said, "Don't rest for now."

A few people happily carried the wild boars and walked back.

When Li Long drove back to the large courtyard in the county, Yang Da Jie had just gotten up to prepare food, and hearing the movement, she hurriedly went to open the gate.

Li Long's jeep didn't drive in; he opened the back door of the car, dragged down a small wild boar, carried it into the courtyard, placed it on the table by the kitchen, and said: "Process it when I come back, you go about your business."

After speaking, he patted Xiao Hei, who was jumping around in front of him, and turned to go out.

Gu Xiaoxia shouldn't be up yet, so he wouldn't affect her sleep.

When Li Long drove the jeep back to the team, it was just dawn; some families had already raised cooking smoke, and some families had no movement yet.

It's late autumn, there's no work, and if there are no children in the family who need to go to school, it doesn't matter if they sleep a little longer.

Li Long's jeep stopped at the gate of Xu Chengjun's house. Ma Hongmei was burning water on the stove; Mingwa had to go to school, so she had to get up early to cook.

Xu Chengjun and Mingwa were brushing their teeth by the ditch outside the gate. He saw Li Long's jeep parked on the side of the road and was a bit surprised.

Xu Chengjun spat out the toothpaste foam, carried the toothbrush cup, and asked Li Long, who got out of the car:

"What's wrong, something happened? Phone call or loudspeaker?"

"I just hunted a few wild boars and put them at your house, you find someone to process them and distribute them to the team members. When I hunt something in winter, I'll distribute another batch, and my four hundred kilograms of meat will be about enough."

Li Long said, first dragging down the sow that weighed over ninety kilograms, then grabbed two front hooves with his left hand and two hind hooves with his right hand, and carried it into the courtyard.

Ma Hongmei was also surprised to see this big wild boar:

"Xiao Long, did you hunt this? So big—it must be a hundred kilograms, right?"

"Almost." Li Long put the wild boar against the wall and went to get the others.

Xu Chengjun handed the toothbrush cup to Mingwa, wiped the foam on his mouth, and followed Li Long to move them. Fortunately, the other wild boars weren't as big as the first one, weighing forty or fifty kilograms, or fifty or sixty kilograms, otherwise Xu Chengjun wouldn't have been able to carry them.

The last wild boar was in the passenger seat, weighing thirty or forty kilograms; when Xu Chengjun wanted to move it, Li Long stopped him:

"I won't move this one, I have to take it to my eldest brother's house."

"Hey, you two brothers..." Xu Chengjun sighed and gave a thumbs up, "You're really something! But you've given me a big trouble..."

"What big trouble? Everyone should thank you!" Li Long closed the car door, went to find a basin to wash his hands, and said while washing: "Anyway, I signed a contract with the team, this meat is for the team, how to distribute it is up to you—if you find it troublesome, just find the group leaders of each group to help clean it up. Alright, I'm leaving..."

"Stay for breakfast before leaving..." Ma Hongmei tried to persuade him to stay.

"No, no, I'm going to my eldest brother's place." Li Long said.

The jeep drove away, Xu Chengjun looked at the pile of five pigs and felt a bit worried, saying in his mouth:

"This Li Long, he really gave me a big trouble!"

"It is trouble!" Ma Hongmei was also worried, "So many... when will this be finished? Can't he process and distribute it himself?" She knew Li Long promised to distribute meat to the team members. "Hey, I'm just saying, this is the cleverness of Xiao Long!" Xu Chengjun waved his hand, "He Li Long distributes it, then everyone is grateful to him, right? He handed the power of distributing meat to the team, then the team members are grateful to the team headquarters, can that be the same?

Xiao Long sees it clearly, he got the new horse pen, and let the team do this face-saving thing; although it's a bit troublesome, the benefits were given to us, this is magnanimity..."

Xu Chengjun said while kicking those wild boars, sighing:

"No wonder the Li family is prosperous, no wonder Li Long can make money. With this ability to handle things, this eye for things, who wouldn't want to follow him? I even want to hand over this team leader position to him..."

Thinking about those who followed Li Long, they had already made a fortune, bought tractors, and earned money. With this way of handling things, who wouldn't want to follow?

"It's just you, working for him and still helping him speak!" Ma Hongmei snorted and went to cook.

Xu Chengjun smiled and pushed his bicycle to call people. Five wild boars were almost three hundred kilograms, wouldn't it take seven or eight people, it couldn't be processed today at all.

Although the day was cool, the meat couldn't be left overnight; it had to be processed and distributed today, to avoid delaying time and the meat going bad, then good things would turn into bad things.

When Li Long drove the jeep to his eldest brother's house, Liang Wenyu was burning cornmeal porridge at the stove, and on the other stove, she was steaming buns.

Li Qing Xia and Du Chunfang were burning fire by the stove, the old man was telling the old lady about things in his hometown, talking about how he cleverly handled the genealogy matter.

!

Li Juan and Li Juan were at the east end of the courtyard, reciting texts and English words, one in the south and one in the north, both looking very diligent.

When hearing the sound of the jeep, Li Jianguo, who was cleaning the pig pen, poked his head out, and seeing the jeep enter the courtyard, everyone gathered around.

When Li Long dragged out that small wild boar, Li Qiang shouted and ran over to see.

"Did you hunt this yesterday?" Li Qing Xia stuffed the fire into the stove eye and stood up to look, "This wild boar cub isn't big..."

"It's delicious because it's not big!" Du Chunfang didn't want him to say her youngest son was bad, "If it's big, it's smelly."

"Hmm, mother knows how to eat." Li Long praised Du Chunfang and explained, "Hunted eight, left one for Qingshuihe, left one for my place in the county, five for the team, and one for you to eat."

"Hey! Eight!" Li Qing Xia was immediately excited, and also regretted—why didn't he follow yesterday? "You wiped out that whole nest?"

"No, this group has twenty or so, hunted a small half." Li Long replied, and then turned to Li Jianguo who came over: "Eldest brother, the team leader might call people to clean up those five in a while, you don't worry about it, cleaning up this one at home is enough for you."

"Okay, I know." Li Jianguo smiled.

"Then I'll go back first, there's one in the courtyard, I have to hurry back to skin and clean it, meat is best eaten fresh."

After Li Long finished speaking, he got into the jeep.

"He came home, but left without eating a bite." Every time Du Chunfang complained, she always felt that her youngest son lived in the county, and this relationship seemed to be separated by a layer, and they couldn't say two words when they met.

"He's busy now, in a couple of days when it's time to tie reed bundles, Xiao Long will have to stay at home every day. Didn't he stay every day when tying big brooms a while ago?" Liang Wenyu didn't have any opinion about her mother-in-law being partial to her brother-in-law, and persuaded her.

"That's true." Du Chunfang sighed, it's good that it's close, let it be.

Li Long hurried back to the large courtyard, at this time Yang Da Jie had just finished breakfast, Xiao Hei usually wasn't tied up, and circled around the wild boar, but it was trained and didn't bite.

Gu Xiaoxia looked at the wild boar and asked Li Long:

"This isn't big—looks like a two-month-old piglet."

"Wild boars don't grow as fast as domestic pigs, hungry one meal and full the next, it's different." Li Long asked while washing his hands, "Where are Mingming and Haohao?"

"Playing on the bed themselves. They already ate in the morning, and they are playing happily now."

It was cool in the morning, so the two children weren't brought out. They would be brought out when the sun came out and it was warm—Li Long knew that sunbathing supplements calcium.

After breakfast, Gu Xiaoxia went to work, Han Fang went to school, Yang Da Jie watched the children, and Li Long started to clean the wild boar.

The small wild boar wasn't big, Li Long specifically left a small one. The reason for cleaning it so quickly was mainly thinking that he could eat meat directly at noon.

A few days ago when building the new horse pen, Li Long brought back a portion of the slaughtered pig meat every day, Gu Xiaoxia and Yang Da Jie all said it was delicious, so Li Long thought about making it again.

This time it was a small wild boar, the meat was more tender, and stewing or boiling should be more flavorful.

The small wild boar was easy to handle, but in ten minutes, Li Long skinned it and threw it to Xiao Hei.

Xiao Hei wasn't picky at all, dragged the wild boar skin and ran to its nest, slowly gnawing on it there.

Li Long rinsed the skinning knife in the water basin next to him, and then started to open the belly on the table to process the internal organs.

The wild boar was small, and he could process it alone. The sun slowly rose, and Yang Da Jie started to set up the venue outside, preparing to bring the children out.

The sunlight wasn't irritating at this time, and it was good for the children to sunbathe.

"Uncle, the smell here is quite heavy, is it appropriate for the children to come out?" Yang Da Jie asked for Li Long's opinion before holding the children.

"It's fine, I'll open the gate in a while, the smell will dissipate quickly." Li Long waved his hand.

It was almost winter, and it would be time to hibernate soon. He could take care of the children himself, and Yang Da Jie could continue to work—Li Long vaguely remembered that the market seemed to be building storefronts, don't know if they were built, have to go and see when free, if built, then buy a few.

Then give one to Yang Da Jie to open a shop, and rent out the rest to collect rent.

After skinning and removing the internal organs, the small wild boar had only ten or so kilograms of meat, not much bigger than a large lamb, basically all lean meat, looking quite good.

Li Long unloaded and put away the meat, then went to clean the internal organs, and after finishing, saw that it was not yet twelve o'clock.

Next, it was his turn to wash up and watch the children, and Yang Da Jie went to process the meat.

The two children were playing happily there, lying down and lying down, and after Xiao Hei finished eating the pig skin, it ran over and lay by the mat, occasionally interacting with the two children.

Li Long saw no major problems, so he went to open the car door. After hauling a load of wild boars today, there was quite a bit of bloody smell in the jeep, and some blood stuck to the seat, so he had to handle it.

While handling it, knocking sounded.

Li Long looked at the children, saw that the two children were fine, and went to open the door.

What surprised Li Long was that the guest outside the door was Li Xiangqian.

"Hmm, you kid... you don't go to the agency even when you're free." Li Xiangqian pushed his bicycle in, supported it, and ran to the two children first.

He squatted down to talk to the children, and then picked up Mingming.

Li Long hurriedly picked up Haohao too, to avoid Haohao's psychological imbalance.

"Is there any work at the agency?" Li Long asked, "Need you to run here yourself?"

"Hey, you said it, the reed bundle job is here—but it's not good news, the quantity is greatly reduced this year, maybe it will be gone next year."

"Gone is gone." Li Long wasn't surprised, this is the general trend, in the future everyone will definitely want to build good houses, prefabricated houses are much stronger than wood and reed bundle roofs—and much more stylish.

Of course, it won't be long, this is also changing, after all, in the case of a major earthquake, prefabricated houses are also dangerous.

Fortunately, there hasn't been a major earthquake in Ma County for forty years.

"Ten thousand reed bundles, twenty reeds, one harvest price is sixty cents, up a little bit." Li Xiangqian said, "After this is finished, you can also rest for a while, accompany the children well in winter—will you hunt Mongolian gazelles then?"

"Hunt." Li Long smiled. Li Xiangqian's first sentence was to let him accompany the children well, and the second sentence revealed his true nature. I'm afraid it's not just him who wants to hunt Mongolian gazelles, but also asking for Director Qian?

Li Long himself also planned to hunt Mongolian gazelles then, this thing is really good! (End of chapter)
