Chapter 11: Waiting
The next morning, Guo Qu got up early and woke up his sister who was still asleep.
After washing his face, carrying Xiaojing on his back, and walking up the mountain with his grandfather, the old man was still heartbroken by the fourteen yuan, so he also pinned his hopes on the clips and chains that cost fourteen yuan.
The girl woke up too early, so she dozed off a little, although Guo Qu was climbing the mountain and walking, but the girl still fell asleep on Guo Qu's back.
Maybe in her heart, her brother's back is what gives her the most sense of security.
Two-year-old children are very clingy, and Guo Qu was very disgusted with this in his previous life, because children like to play unrestrained.
And this life is very warm about this, the girl is very cute and well-behaved, but in the previous life, he woke up too late, so that he ......
Halfway up the mountain, Guo Qu was already tired and out of breath, and when the old man saw this, he took the girl over and asked Guo to carry his back pocket.
In this way, Guo Qu's burden has been reduced a lot, and the speed has been significantly accelerated.
When they reached the ridge and put down the girl and their back pockets, the grandfather and grandson walked to the edge of the cliff, and just saw the black land that carried their hopes at a glance.
One of them was running wildly, and the other two were running around in fright.
The difference is that one is running around in the black earth, and there is something that restricts its range of movement.
The other two were frightened and had already run into the bushes, and could only faintly see the trees shaking.
The grandfather and grandson glanced at each other, both of them saw the excitement in each other's eyes, Guo Qu couldn't sit still, the old man saw this, and asked him to go down the mountain to find his uncle, and then call another person, and at the same time bring a rope, so that the wild boar can be killed, and then carried home.
Guo Qu also knew that there was no time to delay, so he hurriedly ran down the mountain, the speed was very fast, and at this time he couldn't care about the feeling that his heart was about to jump out.
When I returned to the village, I called him uncle directly, and then went to the nearest village and called an uncle, who originally wanted to call one or two more, but the other young people almost all went out to work.
At the same time, the three of them took the rope and walked quickly to the ridge.
When he arrived at the ridge, the old man was already waiting at the pass of the cliff with the girl on his back, and when he saw Guo Qu and others coming, he immediately walked to the bottom of the cliff again, for fear that the wild boar would break free from the chains and let the family's hopes fail.
Among the group, except for Guo Qu and the little girl, the others all have strength, and the uncle Guo Qu called has the greatest strength.
Speaking of his uncle from the same village, he sighed a little, this person's name is Huang Changjiang, and his name is very atmospheric, but this person's brain is not good, and now he is in his forties, and he is still single.
And I heard from the elders of the family that his uncle, who was not close to him, was a smart man when he was a child, but once he ate too much ginkgo biloba and was poured by medicine, and then asked a local doctor to treat him, and he became a fool.
However, a fool has a fool's fortune, because he has a lot of strength, so whoever has something in the village will ask him for help, and then let him eat a meal, that is to say, this person grew up eating a hundred family meals.
Because he is a fool, the children in the whole village like to play tricks on him, and Guo Qu naturally played tricks in his previous life.
But since something happened, he didn't dare to play tricks on Huang Changjiang anymore.
The Yangtze River has a very high rank in the village, and many children have to call him grandpa according to their generation, but because people are stupid, even children call him by his name, and Guo Qu has long been surprised by this.
Because Guo Qu's family is an outsider and has a different surname, there is not much difference in generation.
Changjiang's father died early, he has four brothers, but unfortunately three of them are the kind of people who are afraid of the inside, and the only one is not bad, and he is also far away in the provincial capital, five or six hundred kilometers apart.
Guo went to call him, and to be realistic, it was because he was stupid, and he only needed to invite him to a meal afterwards.
Straight to the point.
The group walked quickly to the black earth, and the wild boar saw that it couldn't get rid of the clamp, and had already given up struggling at this time, but when it saw people, it went crazy again.
At this time, under close observation, there must be more than 300 catties!
However, at this time, how to kill it became a problem, because the skin was rough and the flesh was thick, and the surface was even thicker with a layer of dry mud, and no one dared to approach it, and if it did, its fangs would taste human blood!
In the end, Guo went to come up with an idea, at this time, the wild boar's two legs were clamped, and the range of movement was limited, and there were three clamps that were not triggered, as long as the wild boar stepped on one of the other three clips, then the range of its movement would be even smaller.
Guo went to speak his mind and was recognized by everyone.
The old man was the first to go forward, trying to provoke the wild boar.
The wild boar was really enraged, and he charged like the old man, and under the deliberate lure of the old man, the third leg of the wild boar stepped on the third clamp without accident.
After stepping on the third clamp, the boar suffered from pain, and went crazy again, running around.
However, the three iron chains tied to the three clamps formed horns, and the range of the wild boar's movement was reduced again.
The wild boar was very strong, and the pine trees tied to the chains were torn and shook violently, so that several onlookers looked at each other, for fear that the pine trees would be torn off by it.
Fortunately, Guo went to take precautions in advance, and he connected each chain with iron wire and re-tied it to the other two trees, and if the wild boar wanted to move freely, he had to tear off nine pine trees with a diameter of 20 centimeters.
So it's impossible to tear the pine tree apart.
Nearly an hour passed, during which the boar tried to rest each time, but each time it was provoked and then went mad again.
An hour later, the boar's three legs were caught in the clamps, the blood was no longer flowing, and its strength was exhausted, and it lay quietly in the mud, no matter how much one tried to get it, he no longer moved, at most he snorted twice.
Seeing this, Uncle Guo Qu's courage instantly increased, and he swung his firewood knife and slashed at the wild boar's neck, but the first knife only cut the fur because of the dirt on the skin.
When his uncle saw this, he didn't care, and still cut according to the position he had cut before, one, two, and three...... , eight knives, nine knives, ten knives, the blood on the boar's neck finally flowed out unstoppable, and the wild boar's trotters also shook a few times, and finally the blood ran out and died.
The three of them sat on the ground panting despite the wetness on the ground, while Guo Qu took the girl to play on the side, trying not to let her see such a bloody scene.
There are many people who are afraid of wild boars, many people who are afraid of wolves, and many people who are afraid of tigers, but when people are so poor that they have no food, the most feared thing is death.
As a result, the three southwestern provinces, especially the wolves and tigers on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, have become extinct one after another, not because the environment is not suitable for their survival, but because the people were so hungry that they couldn't take care of anything.
If someone in later generations saw this scene, many people would say that Guo Qu was too cruel and bloody.
But he didn't care, if he didn't kill the wild boar, he couldn't say that they would have to eat bud rice this month, and he didn't regret it in order to survive.
