Chapter 840: Singing in harmony

~7 min read 1,290 words

Around 7:30 in the morning, the people who came to take over the shift to protect the green seedlings arrived.

And the people who came were the brothers Sun Xiangfeng and Sun Xiangwen.

Just after meeting, Sun Xiangfeng said to Wang An and the other with a smile:

"You two brothers are truly fierce; just went to the ground yesterday and killed so many wild boars; this is probably because you were afraid we brothers would be gored by wild boars, hahahaha."

Sun Xiangfeng is normally a person who doesn't talk much; being able to speak actively this time was clearly shocked by the harvest of Wang An and Wang Li.

Actually, the two words "fierce" are pronounced "xie hu" locally, which is the local dialect.

And the meaning of these two words is similar to "powerful," "awesome," "vicious," it is just that the degree is deeper than "powerful" or "awesome," but only second to the degree of "vicious."

Of course, these are all irrelevant; anyway, the locals all understand.

Wang An said with a smile upon hearing this:

"Yesterday I was also angered; our family's 1 mu of wheat was all ruined by wild boars; in anger, we led the dogs to chase the pigs, hehehehe."

Sun Xiangfeng appeared very happy and said:

"This piece of land is estimated to be fine until the autumn harvest, hahahaha, quite good, truly quite good."

Wang An was stunned upon hearing this and subconsciously asked:

"What do you mean, Uncle Sun? This piece of land doesn't need to be watched anymore?"

The reason Wang An didn't understand is because in his past life, Wang An had never participated in protecting green seedlings, so what the rules of protecting green seedlings were, Wang An didn't understand at all.

He only heard Sun Xiangfeng explain:

"It is not that it doesn't need to be watched; generally, the wild boars that harm crops in each piece of land are only that one nest; if you can kill all the wild boars in this nest, then in a short time, this piece of land will be safe, and generally no other wild boars will come."

After Sun Xiangfeng finished speaking, he only heard Wang Li ask stupidly:

"Then why don't we go into the mountains to kill the wild boars directly every year when protecting green seedlings; guarding the ground every day is so tiring?"

Before Sun Xiangfeng could speak, Sun Xiangwen said with a bitter smile:

"That is easy to say; who doesn't want to go into the mountains to kill all the wild boars; is it that easy to kill? Do you think everyone is like you two brothers, so fierce? That wild boars can be killed in a group."

It can be seen that Sun Xiangwen was telling the truth, because Sun Xiangwen's tone was clearly a bit sour, and also a bit envious, but there was no jealousy.

After Sun Xiangwen finished speaking, Sun Xiangfeng added helplessly:

"When we protected green seedlings in previous years, we couldn't even see the shadow of wild boars during the day; it was only at one or two o'clock in the middle of the night that we could occasionally kill one or two wild boars with random gunfire; generally, not even one wild boar could be killed."

After Sun Xiangfeng finished speaking, Sun Xiangwen said with a sour tone again:

"Then if everyone could have your two skills, then there would be no need to protect green seedlings every year; every year at this time, just find the wild boar nest and kill them all, wouldn't that be it."

Wang An nodded and said:

"That is also true; this time it was our pack of dogs that contributed a lot, otherwise this group of wild boars is indeed not easy to find."

What Wang An said is also a fact, because if there were no dogs to track, just relying on Wang An and Wang Li, the location of the wild boars definitely wouldn't be found.

He only heard Sun Xiangfeng sigh and continue to say:

"With my marksmanship, killing wild boars is not difficult, but this thing is truly not easy to find; sometimes after wandering for a day, you don't even see a wild boar hair."

One has to admit, what Sun Xiangfeng said is still very reasonable.

Because when everyone has a gun, the matter of killing prey, essentially speaking, is actually very simple. Just shoot, who doesn't know how?

But "killing prey" and "hunting" are completely two different things.

Because the most time-consuming and most difficult thing is to find the prey.

Otherwise, no matter how miraculous your marksmanship is, you might not even fire a single bullet after entering the mountains for a day, and finally have to return empty-handed.

Therefore, Wang An and Wang Li nodded upon hearing this and didn't refute anything.

It is mainly because if it weren't for Da Hei and Xiao Hei tracking, these two could only wait in the crop fields and couldn't do anything at all.

Because this season, you can't hunt by surrounding.

Who could have thought that the wild boars that finished harming the crops would run to such a far place before stopping.

After a while, he only heard Sun Xiangfeng say with expectation:

"Little An, why don't we discuss something?"

Wang An blinked and asked vigilantly:

"What is it, Uncle Sun, tell me."

One has to admit, although Sun Xiangfeng doesn't talk much normally and doesn't manage much in the militia, he is truly quite good.

Simply put, he is relatively upright, like his uncle Sun Physician, and doesn't like to play fake things.

After Wang An finished asking, he heard Sun Xiangfeng say:

"I am thinking we unite a few people, and then wander around our village, and clean up all the wild boars nearby; this way everyone will be at ease."

Upon hearing this, Wang An couldn't help but mutter in his heart, and the words of refusal almost blurted out.

Because ever since the Li Biao incident, Wang An has become very wary of hunting together.

It is mainly because Wang An discovered that whether it is hunting or doing other things, as long as there is an idiot in the team, the whole team is basically useless.

To put it ugly, staying in such a team is not as real as working alone.

It is just that refusing directly like this truly makes Sun Xiangfeng lose face, so after Wang An gave two dry laughs, his brain was quickly pondering how to say the words of refusal.

Just at this time, Wang Li suddenly said sensibly:

"Uncle Sun, to tell you the truth, for hunting, we brothers don't trust anyone, besides, bullets don't have eyes, if we accidentally hit someone, wouldn't that be a disaster."

After Wang Li finished speaking, he heard Wang An say to Wang Li with a complaining tone:

"What are you saying, Old Five, we can't participate, but we can't say that, Uncle Sun is not an outsider."

However, although Wang An said so, the meaning of refusal was also instantly expressed.

One has to admit, this feeling of one person singing the white face and one person singing the red face is truly quite good.

As mountain people, who doesn't know that hunting requires "people and hearts, horses and saddles"?

So although Wang An and the other were clearly singing in harmony, Sun Xiangfeng didn't get angry, and even Sun Xiangwen showed a very understanding expression.

One has to admit, Sun Xiangfeng is indeed kind, and is truly solving problems for the villagers, but letting everyone participate in this matter, the nature is different.
