Chapter Forty-Eight: Ah Le's Harvest
Chapter Forty-Eight: Ah Le's Harvest
There are few trees in the narrow valley, and there are some low shrubs and large green grasses growing sparsely.
A herd of wild boars on the flat meadows are looking for tasty plants, and occasionally use their long beaks to dig succulent rhizomes out of the ground to refresh them.
There were more than a dozen wild boars in this herd, large and small, and a big boar in the lead should be the leader, and it would have eaten a long time since it had been fed, and now it was lying on a big rock by the mouth of the valley to bask in the sun.
The sturdy and fat body with fangs sticking out of the lips is kneaded into strands of hard mane by mud tree sap and is supported by straight edges, and the body is a layer of hard "armor" formed by a layer of polished thick skin mixed with foreign objects, which is very difficult to provoke at first glance.
Others include a half-sized boar, an adult boar, and four or five sows with a herd of small wild boars with zebra stripes to feed on the grass.
In the middle of the valley, there is a large pile of pig manure piled high together, and the gradually rising temperature makes the wild boar manure gathered together exud a pungent smell.
After seeing the situation, Ah Le chose the adult boar in the group of wild boars to attack, which was the one other than the leader.
Attacking this boar will not affect the development of the wild boar herd in the valley, and the stronger boar leader will continue to protect the wild boar herd.
Moreover, when Ah Le made a detour just now, he found a whole mountain oak forest on the sunny slope on the side, and it was full of acorns, and it seemed that this valley was the nest of wild boars.
In summer, the water and grass are abundant, the fruits are numerous, the wild boars are frolicking near the waterhole at the bottom of the valley, looking for food, there are large oak forests in winter can provide fruit for the wild boar herd to spend the winter, as long as the acorn yield is not reduced, then the wild boar herd will not leave, plus here away from the crowd, it is simply a perfect natural "pigsty".
With his goal set, Ah Le began to figure out how to catch the wild boar.
If you want not to destroy the stability and sustainable development of the "pigsty", you can't go in savagely to hunt, and after thinking about it for a long time, Ah Le still decided to use the most direct and effective method: to catch the big boar by trapping.
The big boar in the wild boar herd has a lot of food, so the range of eating is also very large, the patient Ah Le waited for the boar to find food and slowly left the pig herd, when approaching the corner of a hidden stone wall, Ah Le quickly threw out some of the prepared fruits, and carefully stepped on a few, so that the fruits flowed out of the sweet juice.
The sweet smell of the pulp and juice soon reached the nose of the stray boar, which raised its head against the ground to feed, then poked its nose out and sniffed in the air, and soon locked on to its target: some fruit scattered next to the stone wall not far ahead, and then got up and ran quickly.
And then, there is no then......
Ah Le, who had already been prepared, conjured up the right body shape and pounced on the greedy wild boar.
The wild boar, which was still enjoying the delicious food, was bitten by Ah Le on the neck and pressed the throat before he could find it, and then twisted his head violently, and the wild boar that failed to make any sound was twisted by Ah Le and put to the ground.
Continue to hide in the corner of the stone wall and hold the wild boar, until the wild boar is completely silent, Ah Le comfortably dragged the wild boar up the hillside, from the original way back to the valley mouth, and then to bring the spoils back to the team, waiting to enjoy the hungry wild boar feast.
With a rattan basket full of yellow essence yam and wild fruits tied around his neck and more than 200 catties of wild boar in his mouth, Ah Le, who was like an arrow, couldn't care about the wild boar that was emitting a strange smell in his mouth, and ran all the way along the "wild road" with sparse trees, and rushed back on it.
Finally, more than half an hour later, Ah Le saw the mountain road that the team into the mountain had walked out, and he also smelled a familiar smell.
After continuing to drive forward for a while, Ah Le couldn't stand the strange smell of the wild boar, so he threw the wild boar on the side of the road, and raised his head to the sky and roared loudly to make a calling sound.
In the team in a hurry, Chen Hanlei, who had been thinking about Ah Le, did not concentrate on the road, and he looked up and looked around from time to time as he advanced.
[Ah Le has been running out for a long time and hasn't come back yet, is there something wrong?]
He was thinking wildly when he suddenly heard a loud and long dog barking far behind him:
"Wow~~~Wang !!"
Hearing this special cry, Chen Hanlei knew that Ah Le was following, and he smiled before he could say hello to Han Mingshan to pick up Ah Le, only to hear the sound of "Wang", and then saw two figures, one yellow and one black, rushing past his legs.
After a closer look, it turned out that Ah Wang and Bob Tail responded to Ah Le's voice and ran back along the road, leaving their trainer in a daze.
Before a few of them could come to their senses, the parrot fluttered its wings and flew out after her.
Finally, Jin Zi couldn't sit still, and knocked the helmet on the head of the warrior next to him, and after several consecutive taps, he saw that the warrior who carried him did not react, and the parrot was almost gone, so he made a sound of "oh, oh, ah, ah", climbed the soldier's clothes, quickly climbed to the ground, and followed with his hands and feet.
A complete mixed squad, except for one or twenty sluggish warriors who stretched the queue and stood on the path, all the animal members were gone, and the trainers who had been with them for many years were a little mixed in their sluggishness:
[It seems that he is a genuine shovel officer, and the relationship that has been with him for many years is not as good as a dog barking...... It's really a day* dog. 】
It wasn't until the hairy gold also ran away that they couldn't even see their tails, and the shovel officials came back to their senses, and they all looked back at Han Mingshan, who led the team, and projected an eager gaze, and only after getting permission did a group of shovel officials turn around and run to chase after the "masters" who have been lost.
Sometimes, the communication between the animals is so simple and incomprehensible, and Ah Le's howl directly attracts all the animal team members.
All the team members responded to the call and acted so quickly, the captain's call was on the one hand, and it was estimated that they heard Ah Le's braggadocio and pride in his voice:
[I grabbed something delicious, and I hurried over to help and share it with everyone!]
No matter how unreasonable it was, the animal members understood the meaning anyway, and then they all quickly gathered around Ah Le to watch the wild boar.
The little dirtbag-like wild boar lay quietly on the side of the road without breath, with no scars on its body, only blood flowing from the corners of its mouth.
Ah Le's swaggering hind legs stepped on the pig's head, his front paws pressed the pig's body, and he looked down at the lively friends making noise around him.
The parrot Caiyi stopped on the tree on the side of the road, and finally sobered up, except for the "ah~!" when she first saw the wild boar, she kept quiet, but she was becoming more and more curious about Ah Le, and now she was staring at Ah Le up and down with exquisite eyes, as if she wanted to find something strange from Ah Le.
Ah Wang and Bochou cooperated with each other to make a "Wang" cry and circled around the wild boar, and from time to time let out a longing and flattering gaze to look at Ah Le who was standing "high" on the wild boar.
Jin Zi arrived the latest, but he was covered in dust and only stayed for a few seconds before he let out a shout of "oh~oh" in response to the situation, and applauded desperately like a human being, and did his best to curry favor with Ah Le in front of the wild boar.
When Chen Hanlei, Song Ming, Zhao Doudou, Zheng Xiaodong and Xue Jingshan and a group of excrement shovelers rushed to Ah Le's side, what appeared in front of them was Ah Le, who was standing high on the wild boar and happily proud, and other animals cheering around him.
Seeing the fat and sturdy wild boar under Ah Le's feet, everyone was a little incredible, Ah Le's body was only half larger than that of an ordinary yellow dog, how could he catch such a big wild boar......
And also brought to the side of the road?
Could it be that you caught it not far from the side of the road?
It shouldn't be possible, if it's not far from the side of the road, the other animals in the party should be aware of it when they open the way......
Whether it's Wang, Bobtail or Gold in the team, their sense of smell is not very bad.
The shovelers, who couldn't figure it out after thinking about it, put aside the doubts in their hearts according to the usual practice, and began to discuss around the wild boar, and at the same time praised Ah Le in admiration.
"Tsk, it's amazing, such a big wild boar, even if we go to catch it, we have to move a squad to be in no danger, you look at the fangs, there is still red on the tip, I guess I used it to fight." Zheng Xiaodong, Wang's shovel officer, sighed.
"yes, it's really fat, we haven't eaten this thing for five or six years~, I've been squatting in the base since I brought two little guys, and people are going crazy. The short-tailed shovel officer Xue Jingshan and Zheng Xiaodong are old partners, and they also expressed their feelings while answering the phone.
They used to be a pair of hunters in the mountains, and then Ah Wang and Bobtail were selected by the Animal Management Bureau, and they followed them into the training base together, and the men in the mountains still yearn for the dense mountain forests.
Without waiting for others to interject, Xue Jingshan turned his head and began to show off and invite credit to Zheng Xiaodong:
"Haha, Lao Zheng, I knew that there would be a harvest when I came out this time, I tried my best to drill into it at the beginning of the mission, I made a great effort to participate in the mission together this time, you see, in order to inquire about the news and find a way, I even sent out the wolf's teeth. ”
Xue Jingshan, who was sweating from running, took the opportunity to open his shirt, revealing his bare chest, and let Zheng Xiaodong see his neck, which no longer had a wolf tooth necklace.
The string of wolf tooth necklace is Xue Jingshan's treasure, which was obtained by taking Ah Wang and Short Tail to fight the wild wolf together when they were adults, when he divided the wolf teeth, Zheng Xiaodong took the wolf skull, Short Tail lost a piece of his tail, and Ah Wang was also injured.
The wolf tooth necklace is a gift for their adulthood and a symbol of friendship, Xue Jingshan is very strange on weekdays, and now he is willing to give it away in order to participate in the mission, it seems that he has indeed invested a lot of money.
Hearing the old friend take the words away, Zheng Xiaodong didn't say anything anymore, the two brothers had the same idea, the wolf skull hanging in Zheng Xiaodong's bedroom was also gone, this time to be able to participate in the mission In fact, both of them are working hard, but one is in the light and the other is in the dark.
Han Mingshan, who arrived after him, happened to hear the conversation between Xue Jingshan and Zheng Xiaodong, he knew more than that, he knew more than that, he knew more about leading the team and even participating in the selection of team members.
Han Mingshan was a little uneasy, so he rushed over behind the team members, and asked the instructor to lead the other comrades to be vigilant and stand by.
As soon as the wild boar on the side of the road and Ah Le standing on it appeared in his eyes, Han Mingshan heard this loud conversation between the hunter brothers.
In fact, the reason why the two hunter brothers were able to participate in this mission was not because they had someone behind them, but because this mission really needed Ah Wang and Bobtail.
Under such circumstances, the two brothers, who have been boasting in the base that they can fight wild wolves as adults and have been showing off their wolf teeth and wolf heads, were secretly dug up their "treasures" by their comrades-in-arms with "inside information" and non-existent "favors".
These situations are known in the bureau, but they can also be classified as frolicking between comrades-in-arms, and the gift is only a symbol of bravery, not anything else, so they pretended not to know all the time and did not pursue it.
Now I can actually hear that the two brothers actually took this thing and covered it outside, which shows that they have been holding back in the base for a long time, and they are crazy to think about it, after all, they are not professional fighters.
Zhao Doudou, who was teasing the colorful clothes on the side, had sharp eyes, and as soon as Han Mingshan came, she found out, standing behind Xue Jingshan's side, she quietly stretched out her white and delicate fingers, and poked her comrades-in-arms who were expressing their heroic spirit in front of her.
Feeling the strangeness of his back, Xue Jingshan didn't need to look back to know that there was a new situation, and the previous cooperation in many missions had cultivated a deep friendship and incomparable tacit understanding between them.
Xue Jingshan's face did not change color, his body did not move, he only used his eyeballs to turn in his sockets, and swept the gaze from the corner of his eyes slightly, and he saw the captain who had just arrived.
The arrival of the leader made Xue Jingshan stop talking nonsense, and as soon as the topic changed, he aimed at the wild boar under Ah Le:
"This wild boar is really fat, with my years of hunting experience, it is definitely a natural, wild wild boar, more than 200 catties of appearance, clean up at noon can be made into the pot. After speaking, he squeezed his eyes to his good brother, and asked him to answer the call and resolve the embarrassment in front.
Zheng Xiaodong, who had a tacit understanding with his brothers, received Xue Jingshan's signal, and took over the conversation with a smile:
"Yes, this is an authentic wild boar, it has just been killed by Zero Zero-Three, it is alive, pig blood and pork belly are all good things, and they must be disposed of quickly, and the effect will be poor after a long time. Speaking of this, Zheng Xiaodong turned his head and continued to Han Mingshan:
"I remember that Deputy Director Zhang Dongxu in the bureau has always had stomach problems, this wild boar's belly is a serious thing to cure stomach diseases, but it can't be ruined, you have to get it out and deal with it quickly, the effect of the medicine is much worse after a long time. ”
Hearing Zheng Xiaodong's prompt, Han Mingshan also remembered that Deputy Director Zhang had always had stomach problems, so he didn't mention the two brothers' Xiao Jiujiu.
After all, it is a private li-pull relationship and gift-giving, although it is not serious and there is no malice, but it has already broken the rules and regulations, and if they were regular fighters, they would have been punished a long time ago.
He glanced deeply at the hunter brothers, and then Han Mingshan beckoned everyone to fight against the wild boar and hurried to the place where the warriors were gathering and waiting.
The division of labor between the four people, two in the front and two in the back, it is not difficult to resist a large wild boar weighing more than 200 catties.
On the return journey of snorting and snorting, seeing that he had escaped a catastrophe smoothly, and had already entered the mountain and arrived in a familiar environment, Xue Jingshan, who was a little idle, saw that everyone was in a hurry, and the atmosphere was a little dull, so he reopened the conversation and began to be lively:
"Captain, it's a must for me to clean up wild boars and make a stewed pig pot, Lao Zheng can only eat what I made. Look at me at noon, you only need to find two to help, you just do it, I will definitely clean up the pig properly, and then give the whole team of comrades a sumptuous wild boar feast, want to eat red to make red, want to eat white boiled white, want to eat roasted roasted, spicy, salty and sweet for you to choose. ”
Xue Jingshan's shouting made a lot of saliva grow in everyone's mouths, and the pace of the return journey was a little faster.
Even Zhao Doudou, who was following behind and leading a group of animals, followed with a sweet smile yearning, as if recalling some sweetness in the past.
Ah Le drooled, trotted all the way and stared up at the wild boar, fantasizing about the delicious lunch meal.
