Chapter 4 Is This True?
After Zhang Lan left, the small courtyard fell into silence, and there was also a little panic, Chen Chongshan chopped the bamboo rat on the chopping board one by one, one by one, gritting his teeth, holding back tears.
The departure of his parents, his younger brother's body, and the heat and coldness of the world made this eighteen-year-old boy begin to doubt his fate and life.
It's just that even if it's unbearable, he can't unload it, he must carry this mountain, otherwise, this family will collapse, and his brother's sky will also collapse.
Chongming's legs, although the doctor concluded that it could not be cured, but after all, this was only the conclusion of the county hospital, Chen Chongshan always felt that if he took Chen Chongming to the provincial capital, to the nationally famous Yaxiang Hospital in Tanzhou City, he should still be able to find hope, it was precisely because of this thought, so he desperately saved money, just to be able to take his younger brother to Tanzhou as soon as possible.
It's just that this day is coming, but hope suddenly collapses today.
When the money is gone, how can we treat the disease?
However, Chongming's illness can't afford to consume, and he can't afford to wait.
Chen Chongshan's mind was full of thoughts, one thought after another flashed in his mind, he remembered his father's eager eyes when he was dying, remembered the sound of Chongming's secret crying at night, remembered the panic faced by the two brothers at the moment when they became orphans after losing their parents, and in the end, Chen Chongshan remembered the nests of wild boars in the mountains and forests of Lianshan Bay······
He is only an eighteen-year-old boy, in addition to his own hands, he only has Ah Huang's helper, and that mountain forest is the only place where he can earn money and see hope······
It was getting late, Ah Huang walked in from outside the door and rubbed Chen Chongshan's thigh before Chen Chongshan woke up.
"Ah Huang, come. ”
Chen Chongshan touched Ah Huang, threw the bamboo rat's head, limbs and internal organs to Ah Huang, turned around and looked at the room where there was still no movement, sighed, half-squatted beside Ah Huang, and was silent for a long time: "Ah Huang, if one day, I put you in a desperate situation of life and death, I hope you don't blame me." ”
"But don't worry, I won't be a deserter. ”
·····································
In the early autumn morning, but at six o'clock, the sky was already bright, Chen Chongshan got up and made breakfast, cleaned the house, and spread out the millet in the yard.
After finishing some bits and pieces, the time had passed nine o'clock, Chongming had already gotten up, the two brothers had finished breakfast, Chen Chongshan told his younger brother a few words, then called Ah Huang, brought a dagger, a firewood knife, and prepared to go out.
There is no need to rush early for hunting, it is too early for the wild animals to start their activities, and it is rare to encounter them, so they set off in the morning, mix in the mountains and forests all afternoon, and go down the mountain before dark; Many hunters hunt and spend the night in the mountains, sometimes in order to encircle and kill a wild boar, they will even stay in the mountains and forests for a few days, but it is several hunters together, Chen Chongshan is one person and one dog, and it is an extremely dangerous thing to spend the night in the mountains and forests.
In addition to the wild boar, the king of the mountains and forests in the south, in this mountain forest, large carnivores such as clouded leopards and bobcats will occasionally appear, and under the cover of night, the threat of these beasts will increase greatly, and Chen Chongshan and Ah Huang will be difficult to parry.
About to go out, Ah Huang seemed quite excited, it grew up in the mountains and forests since he was a child, and the heat of hunting was beyond imagination, Chen Chongshan smiled and patted it, and just pushed out the dilapidated motorcycle when it was about to start, the mobile phone rang suddenly.
Chen Chongshan glanced at his phone suspiciously, and then pressed the answer button.
"Chongshan, are you still at home?"
On the other end of the phone, Lao Qin's familiar voice rang.
"It's still there, I'm about to go up the mountain, Lao Qin, what's the matter?" Chen Chongshan replied.
"Don't rush up the mountain, come to me. ”
"Coming to you?
"Don't ask so much first, come here, it's a good thing, it won't hurt you. Lao Qin replied, and hurriedly added before hanging up the phone: "By the way, remember to bring Ah Huang." ”
"Take Ah Huang?"
Chen Chongshan was confused, muttered a few words, and then rode a motorcycle with Ah Huang to the county seat······
Lao Qin's game villa is located near the center of the county, leaning on a clear Zishui River, with a large yard in front of it, and the environment is excellent; Chen Chongshan's home is not far from here, and it takes ten minutes to ride a bicycle.
Chen Chongshan supported the motorcycle at the door, and before he entered the yard, he had already heard the roar of several fierce dogs inside, Chen Chongshan frowned slightly, called out to Ah Huang, put a dog leash on it, and then walked into the gate of the villa.
Inside the gate, there had already been a commotion, and several pure white and muscular American Dugao were being chained behind several young men and women, roaring at Ah Huang and Chen Chongshan at the gate, and those young men and women were also looking at Chen Chongshan at this time.
"Chongshan, here. Lao Qin stepped forward to say hello, and then leaned against Chen Chongshan and said in a low voice: "This is a few rich people from Tanzhou, who want to go into the mountains to hunt, and ask you to come over and be a guide for them, with a reward of two thousand, you take them into the mountains for a casual stroll, just go down the mountain before dark." ”
"Be a guide?" Chen Chongshan was stunned for a moment, and then nodded, there are many wild beasts in Lianshan Bay, and there are often hunting enthusiasts from other places who come to hunt, and then find a local hunter who is familiar with the terrain to be a guide and give some compensation, such things happen from time to time, Chen Chongshan has also encountered it, and he can easily take them around the mountains and forests a few times, and he can get a good income, which is much stronger than hunting by himself.
"Boss Qin, is this the guide you found for us?"
Chen Chongshan and the two were talking, and the young men and women also walked over, and one of them, a man dressed in a trendy fashion and with a shoehorn head, asked.
This group of people, three men and two women, are all wearing imported brand-name sportswear, they are not very old, they look like they are in their twenties, the two women are quite good-looking, and the makeup is also very tasteful, at first glance, they are from the metropolis, Chen Chongshan is in Meishan County, but he has never seen such a beautiful woman.
"Yes, Mr. Wang, this is Chen Chongshan. Lao Qin replied with a smile.
The young man called Mr. Wang looked a little displeased, and after looking at Chen Chongshan a few times, he frowned slightly and replied: "Boss Qin, isn't this okay? The price we paid is already very good, you actually found us a student to come over?"
"We're going into the mountains to hunt, not to play!" Mr. Wang's voice became more and more cold, if it weren't for the fact that this person was unfamiliar with the place, I was afraid that he would already be going crazy.
"No, Mr. Wang, Chongshan is indeed our best hunter here. Lao Qin hurriedly explained: "The wild boar you ate last night was brought back by Chongshan alone. ”
"Hunting wild boar alone?"
Mr. Wang was stunned for a moment, and then his face became even more difficult to look at: "Boss Qin, I remember that you are a nature reserve here, and you can't hunt with firearms, right?"
"Yes. Lao Qin nodded: "He is a knife hunter." ”
"Knife hunting?"
Mr. Wang opened his mouth wide with an incredible expression, and then burst into laughter with the men and women behind him, as if he had heard a particularly funny joke.
"Hey, boy, is what he said true?" After laughing, Mr. Wang turned his head and asked Chen Chongshan.
"Yes!" Chen Chongshan replied expressionlessly, these arrogant rich people, Chen Chongshan has also been in contact with some in the past, and he has already learned to ignore this trick, as long as he goes up the mountain to lead the way, they can pay the bill, and the rest is up to them.
"How many dogs are there?" Mr. Wang continued.
"I took Ah Huang with me. ”
"This is Central Asia?"
"Yes. Chen Chongshan nodded, telling the truth.
The group laughed again, laughing and shaking their heads, one man and one dog hunting wild boars? Or is it a Central Asian shepherd dog?
You think this is a pig raised in your pigsty? Even if it is your own pig, you can't handle it as a seventeen or eighteen-year-old child, right?
