Chapter 16: Li Laosan and the Wild Boar (I)
Nangou Village is backed by the dog head mountain, very magnificent, the mountain range is as high as thousands of meters, and the area is vast, the jungle is dense, in the mountain, all kinds of beasts and birds of prey haunt from time to time, wild boar, weasel, antelope, jackal...... Wait a minute.
From time to time, these wild beasts come down from the mountains to disturb the people, today they are not stealing the Zhang family's chickens, tomorrow they are stealing the Li family's cattle, making the whole village chickens fly and dogs jump, and the people are panicking.
Later, Li Laosan made a move, showing a stunned ability, whether it is archery or marksmanship, it is a must, it can be described as a hundred shots, all the beasts that he fancies, none of them can escape.
Li Laosan also became famous because of this battle, and later, Nangou Village became a forbidden place for all kinds of beasts and birds of prey, but all the beasts that dared to go down the mountain to disturb the people, whether it was a wild boar or a jackal, were all gone and never returned.
In recent years, Nangou Village has been peaceful and prosperous, and Li Laosan rarely makes any more moves.
In the dim sky, Lu You stood outside the gate of Li Laosan's house, uncertain, and his face hesitated.
However, in the end, he gritted his teeth and mustered up the courage to knock on the door with his hand.
"Crunch!"
The door soon opened, and a burly man came into view.
The big man is about 1.85 meters tall, with a Chinese face, dark skin, and a burly body, giving people a strong sense of oppression before he speaks.
Lu You's height is not low, one meter seven five, but his thin figure is still obvious in front of the burly man.
"Uncle Li!"
Seeing the big man who opened the door, Lu You was the first to speak, and this burly man was the famous Li Laosan.
"It's Lu You, is there something to do so early in the morning, right? Come, come into the house and talk. ”
Different from his rugged appearance, Li Laosan's tone of voice was particularly gentle, and his attitude towards Lu You was completely different from that of other villagers, and he did not despise Lu You's identity as a 'strong traitor' at all.
"No, Uncle Li, I'm here specifically for you, just say a few words and leave. ”
Lu You glanced at the dark room and said with a smile.
After that, he took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket, took out one and handed it to Li Laosan.
"Ouch, yes, it's the Yellow Crane Tower. ”
Li Laosan stretched out his hand to take the cigarette and teased.
Lu You also put the cigarette in his mouth, took out a lighter to help Li Laosan light the cigarette, and lit it himself, he can smoke, but he rarely smokes.
Hearing this, he smiled very naturally: "Where can I afford to smoke this kind of good cigarette, I didn't buy it when I went to Shanggou Village a few days ago, but I didn't use it, if Uncle Li likes it, I'll give you the whole one at home." ”
"Don't, it's useless, you better talk about things. ”
Li Laosan smiled innocently, Lu You didn't notice the flash of light in the depths of his eyes behind Li Laosan's smile, and this light carried a faint appreciation.
"Then I'll just say it, Uncle Li, I want you to go into the mountains and help me catch a wild boar. Lu You said.
Li Laosan, who was smoking, froze suddenly, and his eyes shot a look of surprise: "Are you sure it's a catch?"
Lu You nodded and said surely: "Yes, I want a live wild boar, of course, it doesn't have to be too big." ”
"Why do you want a live wild boar? Now that the wild boar is listed as a protected animal by the state, there is no reason for it, and I don't want to ask for trouble." Li Laosan said.
Lu You's face showed a slight hesitation, but this hesitation was quickly replaced by firmness.
"That's Uncle Li, have you ever heard of special wild boars?"
"Special wild boars, are the babies born after crossing wild boars with domestic pigs?" Li Laosan said.
"Uncle Li is amazing, yes, that's what it means, in general, the special wild boar is what you just said. Lu You said with a smile.
"Boy, are you going to open a pig farm?" asked Li Laosan.
Lu You was in a daze, and after a while, he smiled bitterly: "Uncle Li, if you are so smart, we really can't continue to chat!"
"Haha! You kid, you're even more powerful at slapping horses!" Li Laosan laughed, "According to what you say, the purpose of your wild boar catching is to use wild boar genes to breed offspring and start a pig farm?"
Lu You nodded and mumbled.
"Yes, boy, you are a young man who has studied in a big city, and this idea is indeed much more avant-garde than us hillbillies! If nothing else, I will decide to ...... for you, an avant-garde special boar farm I've helped you!" Li Laosan laughed.
Lu You was overjoyed and said gratefully: "Then thank you Uncle Li so much." ”
"But I have one thing, if this special wild boar farm really develops, you must not forget your roots, if possible, you will drive the entire Nangou Village, and everyone will make a fortune together. Li Laosan said suddenly.
"Uncle Li, do you think I'm the kind of person who is ungrateful?"
Lu You's face was full of depression, Li Laosan was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.
Just do it, both of them are sharp people, Li Laosan first asked Lu You to wait outside for a while, and after a while, when he came out again, he already had some more equipment on his body.
It's just that when he saw the things on Li Laosan's body, Lu You was not calm, because the equipment on Li Laosan's body was too simple.
A bundle of five-millimeter wire, a bundle of rope the thickness of a thumb, an axe, and a pair of small equipment such as a vice.
"Uncle Li, can you really catch a wild boar with just such a thing?" Lu You asked in a daze, uncertain.
As we all know, the wild boar is a very powerful beast, once it goes berserk, its attack power is doubled, and the slightest mistake will kill people.
"Hey, hey!"
Seeing Lu You's somewhat daze demeanor, Li Laosan smiled honestly, but the words he said did not match that smile at all.
"Boy, when you Uncle Li and I learned to hunt, I'm afraid you little guy was still breastfeeding!"
Lu You, is it necessary to make such a metaphor......
Doghead Mountain, the terrain is steep, the strange mountain peaks, the towering trees, shade the sun and the moon.
In the dense woods, Lu You was snorting and panting, following closely behind Li Laosan, speechless and choking.
He thinks that his physical fitness is good among young people now, but since he entered the mountain, the mental damage has increased by 10,000 points.
Lu You looked at the burly figure in front of him, and really couldn't understand why Li Laosan's burly figure was like walking on the ground in such a narrow, thorny mountain forest, as dexterous as a monkey?
"Lu You, hurry up, the sun is about to come out, your aunt has started cooking, let's speed up, and after catching the wild boar, we just went home for dinner." ”
Li Laosan's urging voice came from his ears, and although the voice was very ordinary, it silently exuded an arrogant arrogance.
Invisible pretending, the most deadly!
Lu You's fragile mind increased by another 10,000 damage points, but the arrow was already wound, and in desperation, he could only grit his teeth and keep up.
At the beginning, he still had the leisure to observe Li Laosan's movements and demeanor, but now, he will not fall behind until he bows his head and hurries.
When he was holding back his strength and hurrying away, he was caught off guard and his head hurt, Lu You raised his head, but found that a huge ass was clubbing in front of his eyes, and his head seemed to hit that ass just now......
The diaphragm in Lu You's heart was just about to shout, when suddenly, Li Laosan, who was pouting his ass in front, turned around and sighed, with a serious face.
Lu You was taken aback by Li Laosan's serious face, and the annoyance that he was about to vent suddenly disappeared, replaced by curiosity and nervousness.
After climbing the mountain for nearly an hour, at this moment, they have entered the center of Doghead Mountain.
Here, it is simply a paradise for wild beasts, along the way, there are traces of birds and beasts everywhere on the ground and trees, and even the claw marks left on the ground by a few wild beasts, which make Lu You feel a sense of horror.
Although he is a native of Nangou Village, and this Kotou Mountain is also collectively owned by Nangou Village, from childhood to adulthood, Kotou Mountain has always been a forbidden place for many people.
Ever since Lu You can remember, he has often heard the warnings of his parents that he can go anywhere else, but he can't enter this doghead mountain, especially the depths of the doghead mountain.
Between the lessons of crossing the Yellow River and being boarded, Lu You wisely chose to be a good child, not only him, but all the children in Nangou Village did not dare to enter the doghead mountain, because there were wolves in it, and they only ate children.
If it wasn't for his pig farm plan this time, Lu You swore that he would never know in his life if he would set foot in the depths of this eerie and terrible Kotou Mountain.
"Hey, the years are unforgiving, this person is unreliable when he is old, and he feels wrong!"
At this moment, Li Laosan, who was pouting his ass in front, suddenly straightened his waist and let out a sigh of emotion.
Lu You was stunned for a moment, and then his brows jumped sharply, as if there were thousands of horses galloping in his heart.
Your sister, with him for most of the day is equivalent to putting his face on a big ass for nothing, without such a playful person.
Lu You was so depressed that he almost vomited blood, and couldn't help but complain: "Uncle Li, this cold joke is not funny at all!"
Li Laosan turned around, still with that honest dark face and honest smile, but no matter how Lu You looked at it, he felt that it was a disguise.
Inexplicably, he had a touch of curiosity about Li Laosan's identity.
In the past, he was ignorant and ignorant, so he admired Li Laosan very much, thinking that the other party was strong and a good person, but now after thinking about it carefully, Lu You found that Li Laosan seemed to be covered with a layer of mystery.
Do you think an ordinary peasant would have such good archery and marksmanship?
Or is it that a farmer has been climbing a mountain for an hour in a row, his face is not red and he is not panting, as if he is nothing?
All of this made Lu You have a trace of suspicion about Li Laosan, besides, Li Laosan seems to be a foreigner, but no one in the village knows what the specific place is.
"Lu You, although you Uncle Li and I have just had a mess, it's not like nothing, come and see!" Li Laosan opened his mouth to greet.
Lu You climbed up curiously, and saw a slightly flat mountain, a mess, the ground rolled, and the ravines were formed, as if they had been cut by a hook and plow, revealing the fresh soil inside.
"Could this be ......" Lu You's eyes widened suddenly.
Li Laosan nodded: "The wild boar is shaving with its mouth and nose, depending on the freshness of the soil, it should be in the early hours of the morning, or it has just ......."
"Just now, doesn't that mean that there are wild boars around here?" Lu You opened his mouth wide.
"Wild boars are common and elusive animals, they live in groups, usually like to come out in the morning or dusk to hide, and during the day they usually hide in burrows or grass to sleep. ”
Li Laosan rarely looked serious and explained to Lu You the common sense about wild boars.
"It's seven o'clock in the morning, it's time for the wild boar to return to the nest after eating, let's hurry up, follow this trace, we can find the wild boar's nest, as for whether we can find the male boar, it depends on luck!"
Li Laosan said, he had already moved quickly, and his seemingly burly and clumsy figure was like a rabbit, and after roughly identifying the direction, he went directly to the south.
Before Lu You could react, Li Laosan had already run seven or eight meters away.
Lu You scolded, hurriedly spread his feet, and followed.
