19. Red-eyed
Because Ah Hao had gained a lot from hunting, the men in the village were stimulated, and everyone unanimously decided to go into the mountains to hunt together. Originally, the people in this village knew how to hunt somewhat, such as the work of a pheasant and a hare, everyone was basically capable, but the nearby mountains were too out of stock, and there were very few prey. And in the deep mountains in the distance, they dare not go, because there will be fierce beasts inside, which will really hurt people. There used to be brave hunters in the village who died in the mountains, so in the past ten years, almost no one in the village has gone deep into the mountains.
But now it's different, Ah Hao can go alone and bring back a large number of prey, and their hearts are moved. Several stout men went to the village chief's house together, and asked the village chief to come forward and let Ah Hao take everyone to hunt together. You must know that the first hundred catties of wild boar, let alone take it out and sell it, even if you just eat meat, you can also let your family eat it beautifully for a long time. Even if you can't hit such a big prey, pheasants and rabbits are attractive enough. There are many small wild things in the deep mountains, no matter how bad they are, you can also find some mountain delicacies and wild fruits, and you will never come back empty-handed when you go out.
"Village chief, as long as he is willing to take us there, we will definitely not drag our feet, we are all villagers, and he will definitely agree to take us there." Everyone made the meaning clear in a few words.
"You guys, it's just red-eyed, but you don't want to think about it, Geng Qiu and the two of them are skilled, they have returned to the village thousands of miles away, just to live a stable life, otherwise, people might as well enjoy happiness in a rich place. Why do you want people to take you into the mountains to hunt? What are your skills? The village chief sighed and said, although he was also very red-eyed, but he knew that Geng Qiu and Ah Hao were different from them, who had been begging for a living in the field for generations.
"So what? Why can't we benefit from his family's eating alone? There were endless pheasants, hares, and wild boars in the mountains. If you are lucky, you can beat a few wild boars of two or three hundred catties, and every household in the village will have a year's worth of meat. Uncle Oishi, who took the lead, said. He has a lot of children, and it is rare to see some meat on the table all year round, and the five catties of meat that were exchanged yesterday, his daughter-in-law ruthlessly cut more than half a catty and burned a large pot of winter melon, and the children ate so much that they couldn't wait to swallow the pot.
"Yes. I don't believe that your family is not hungry for meat. ”
"Uncle, didn't Geng Qiu give you a lot of them for nothing and gag your mouth, but why can't we eat some meat with us. Otherwise, I'll take a piece of meat from your house and go home." "The second dog with the loudest voice is the son of the village chief's cousin, and this nephew has always been mixed, and what he says is even more unpleasant.
"Well, tell me what to say. Forget it, I'll go to Ah Hao tomorrow as he said, whether people bring it or not, it's up to you to take it. The village chief finished angrily and drove the group out. He was almost angry, although Geng Qiu gave them a pheasant for nothing, but their family spent a lot of thought on Ah Niu as an eyeball during this time. Geng Qiu and Ah Hao are called good people, and everyone helps each other.
Besides, the village chief's family usually tries to help Geng Qiu and them, like the clothes that Ah Niu is wearing now, they are all made by Ah Qing's daughter-in-law at home. and the soles of the two adults have been accommodating, they won't go out to talk about these efforts, and Geng Qiu and the two are not bad people, so they will give them a pheasant for nothing. But in everyone's eyes, it is said to be like this.
"Dad, you really have to go and talk to Ah Hao tomorrow. Otherwise, you can talk to Geng Qiu first. The village chief's daughter-in-law said. Everyone in this family understands that Geng Qiu is easier to talk to, and Ah Hao usually doesn't gossip with others, so he is not easy to approach.
"I know. It's just a little hard to say. You see that people usually give everyone a lot of benefits, no matter how much you change, it's not all according to everyone's will, give more and give less, and don't say anything if you give good to bad. Some people have taken advantage more than once, and now they can't wait for people to teach them all the skills of hunting, and they don't want to think that this is a unique job for people to eat, how can there be such a cheap thing. The village chief said angrily.
"Dad, you shouldn't have agreed just now, they went directly to Ah Hao if they had the ability, why did they let you be this wicked person. There are benefits, everyone is running ahead, and you will be thought of when you come out. Ah Qing said sullenly, he was very dissatisfied.
He felt that these people just didn't know what to do, and it was not a small amount to take advantage of Geng Qiu's family. Now that the hands are getting longer and longer, I really don't know how they say it. Ah Hao dared to go into the mountains alone, and he could bring back so many prey, and he and Geng Qiu could bring a nursing doll, not far away, and they didn't know how many hardships and dangers they encountered along the way before returning here, obviously these two people are not vegetarians. The village chief and his son discussed it in private, so their family was very good to Geng Qiu and Ah Hao, that is, they understood that the family was capable.
"Alright. They're all going to sleep. The village chief roared, turned his head and locked himself in the room. Although he knows that what everyone says is not good, but the hard life has been too long, who doesn't want to live a good life, which can improve his life, which one is not impressed. Today, there was an extra bowl of meat on their table, and everyone was very happy. If you can talk about Ah Hao and Geng Qiu, it will indeed be one more way out for everyone.
The village chief thought about it for most of the night, and the next morning, while Ah Hao was carrying Ah Niu to his house, he secretly said these words to Geng Qiu. When Geng Qiu heard this, he felt a little uncomfortable. But he didn't want to make the whole village dissatisfied with them, they always had to live in this place, and if they didn't meet their demands, they would be sad in the future. What's more, he also understands that everyone's life is too hard, and the so-called poverty is thinking about change, which is also a good thing. Everyone can go hunting and live a better life, and their family will not be very different. It's also good for them. They are outsiders here, and the two mules in the family are already richer than all the others, which makes people blush, and from Ah Hao's intermittent words, he knows that they are here to avoid trouble, and it is better to keep a low profile.
"Okay, as long as they can afford it. Ah Hao went out for a few days ago, the cat was in the mountains, cold and hungry, and he had to hide from the wild wolves. Geng Qiu said.
"As long as you agree to bring people, it's their luck that they can hit the prey, and I don't blame you if they can't beat it." The village chief patted him on the shoulder, sighed, and went back to the business.
As soon as Ah Hao came back, Geng Qiu told him. "Okay, as long as they can find their prey, I'll help them get there. I'm afraid they'll hold back. Ah Hao said indifferently.
Geng Qiu smiled, he didn't say anything, he had already heard everyone's footsteps and laughter, and sure enough, Ah Hao turned his head, and after a while, the door was full of big men.
"Ah Hao, the village chief said that you are going to take us to hunt, this time we have to hunt a few fat pigs, and everyone will eat a few delicious meats." The second dog said loudly.
"Go the day after tomorrow, I have to rest for two days." Ah Hao said.
"And what are we going to take with us?" Someone asked.
"Bring a bow and arrows, baskets and ropes, and clothing and food." Ah Hao replied.
"No one in our village knows how to shoot a bow and arrows, and there is no such thing." There was silence for a while, and finally someone answered.
"Then what do you use to hunt, and you want to hunt wild boars?" Ah Hao asked coldly.
Everyone was speechless, Ah Qing and Ah Mu blushed, they knew that this matter was not so simple, but they couldn't stand the people in the village as if they were crazy, and they wanted to go into the mountains to hunt.
"Don't you have? You have been so experienced, you can shoot back a wild boar alone, and with so many of us, you can always hunt more prey back. "Ergou's words are always extremely shameless.
"If you dare to love, you all count on me alone." After Ah Hao finished speaking, his eyes swept over everyone coldly, he didn't know what these people thought they were?
"Haha, then you can say that, everyone goes together, it's always helpful." Someone helped Ergouzi speak.
There is a person who comes out, and the people behind him talk much more smoothly, everyone you say a word, it seems that everyone can do it, Ah Hao and Geng Qiu listened to their nonsense for a long time without saying a word. In the end, Geng Qiu agreed, because if he didn't agree, he couldn't do it, if he wanted to live a stable life here, he had to take them there, and he also had to let them see the difficulty of hunting, and he would no longer think about such a good thing in the future.
