Chapter 24: Killing the Pigs
After a while, I saw a huge wild boar come out of the forest not far away, snorting and eating the acorn fruit on the snow.
Shen Ya held her breath and hid in the distance, staring at the wild boar and the beans hidden between the acorns without blinking, her heart was high, and she was afraid that the wild boar would find something and refused to eat it.
But apparently this pig was not as smart as Shen Ya thought, and she did not hesitate to eat her beans as acorns.
Seeing this, Shen Ya hurriedly turned her head and asked Zhao Tie to be ready to give the pig an arrow when its body was numb, but she didn't want Zhao Tie to see the pig appear, so she couldn't hold it back, so she lifted her bow and arrow, aimed it at the wild boar, and shot it out with a "bang".
It's a pity that an arrow missed and missed.
Oops, Shen Ya and Zhao Tie secretly shouted in their hearts.
Sure enough, after the wild boar was disturbed by Zhao Tie, he turned around suddenly, stared at Zhao Tie with a vicious look, yelled at him twice, and rushed towards Zhao Tie.
"Uncle Zhao" Shen Ya saw Zhao Tie being chased by a wild boar, her face turned white with fright, she has been living in a relatively peaceful and stable environment since she was a child, where has she personally experienced such a scene, her mind was blank for a while.
Zhao Tie was chased by the wild boar and ran, and reflexively shot a few more arrows at the pig, but they didn't hit, and his heart was a little panicked. Seeing that the pig was about to catch up with him, Zhao Tie's body didn't have time to react for a while, and he watched the pig open its mouth and show its fangs and bite him.
Zhao Tie closed his eyes in resignation.
After waiting for a long time, I didn't feel my body being attacked, and I couldn't help but feel strange, and when I opened my eyes, I saw that the pig suddenly began to walk and stagger, staggering, and couldn't stand steadily.
"Uncle Zhao, take advantage of the moment, hurry up and shoot it with an arrow." Shen Ya's eager voice came, Zhao Tie woke up suddenly, he hurriedly shot an arrow with a bow according to his words, only to hear "squeak-", the pig screamed, fell down suddenly, looking at the wild boar that was hit by an arrow in the abdomen and lay on the snow, his legs and feet were still twitching, Zhao Tie couldn't believe that he really shot a wild boar in front of him
In the past three years in Lujia Village, no one has shot a wild boar, but he has done it today, Zhao Tie has no words to describe his mood at this moment except for ecstasy.
But after the ecstasy, he quickly calmed down, remembered the strange behavior of the pig when he attacked him, and wondered a little, it was because of the strange appearance of the pig that he had the opportunity to shoot it.
What happened to the boar just now?
Looking at Shen Ya, who was squatting on the ground and observing the wild boar with a smile on her face, Zhao Tie had a flash of inspiration in his mind, remembering the few beans that the Shen family girl had sprinkled on the snow before, and suddenly reacted, the pig was probably eating the beans, so it would have the same abnormality as just now.
Zhao Tie's mood at this time was even more unbelievable than hunting that pig, just with a few beans, such a huge animal could produce such a reaction, this is really not something ordinary people can do Thinking of this, Zhao Tie's eyes showed a trace of awe, in his opinion, Shen Ya has too many things he doesn't know, such as her medical skills, such as her ability to hunt animals, even if the Shen family girl says that she can hunt a tiger, or can save a dead person, he also believes it.
After admiring the wild boar, Shen Ya stood up, walked to Zhao Tie's side and said to him with a smile: "Uncle Zhao, such a big wild boar, the two of us will definitely not be able to move, I will go to the village to call someone to help, do you look here and don't skip words."
Listening to Shen Ya's crisp voice, Zhao Tie silently put away all his gratitude and awe, nodded and said, "Okay." Just now, he had decided that no matter what happened in the future, he, Zhao Tie, would do his best to protect this girl and her family.
Shen Ya felt that after Zhao Tie finished hunting the wild boar, he suddenly became a little silent, thinking that he was so excited that he couldn't speak, so he didn't pay attention to it, and said, "Then I'll go." So he hurried along the road to the foot of the mountain.
Shen Ya went door to door to find several households, all of them were villagers in the village, and everyone would help when they were in trouble, so when they heard Shen Ya say that Zhao Tie had hunted a wild boar in the back mountain, the men were all so excited that they didn't even add their clothes, picked up the flat pole and rope at home, and Shen Ya led the way and ran towards the back mountain.
The women and children of the house, regardless of the cold, opened the courtyard door one after another, and stood outside the courtyard to watch the excitement, the village had not seen anyone hunt wild boars for a long time, which was also a new thing for them, so they came out to watch, so as to add some fun to their boring life. The women stood outside the house and chatted, and did not go back to the house, and the children stayed at home for days, and when they had the opportunity to come out, they played around like crazy.
The icy and snowy Lujia Village has added a lot of lively scenes at this moment.
About half an hour later, I saw seven or eight men, carrying a wild boar to the village, all the way to Zhao's house, the people in the village also followed to see the excitement, many children had never seen a black wild boar, curiously followed the adults, while running and shouting: "Oh, look at the wild boar." ”
When Zhao heard the sound outside the house, he had already opened the courtyard and looked forward to seeing the child's father carrying a flat burden on his shoulder, and a strong wild boar hanging on the flat shoulder was coming over with a sweaty head. Zhao's hanging heart finally landed, and his eyes couldn't help but turn red again, afraid that people would see the joke, so he quickly wiped his handkerchief, and then greeted his husband with a smile.
"Mother, Daddy hunted a big pig." Xiaohu stood next to Zhao, watching his father and many other people carrying wild boars to the house, excitedly pulling his mother's padded jacket, and said excitedly. Then he couldn't help but say, "Mother, I'll take a look." He Fei also ran to his father with his little short legs, and when Zhao found out, he had already arrived in front of Zhao Tie.
The news that Zhao Tie had caught a wild boar spread far and wide, and soon, more and more people in the village gathered at the door of Zhao's house to find out.
Zhao Tie and the others finally carried the wild boar to the small courtyard of the Zhao family, and they were tired and sweating, they didn't expect that in winter, this wild boar would grow so fierce, and some people in the village estimated that the wild boar was at least more than 400 catties. Such a big pig, if it is brought to the market, it will definitely not only be five or six taels, but at least seven or eight taels of silver.
For a time, the people in the village were red-eyed, envious, admiring, and jealous.
However, due to the heavy snowfall in the past few days, the road to the market has been blocked, and the wild boar cannot be sold at the market. So Zhao Tie decided that this afternoon, taking advantage of the fact that it was not snowing, he planned to kill the pigs, and asked several butchers in the village to help.
According to the custom of the village, after killing the pig, the people of the village are invited to eat pork.
However, the villagers also have a certain understanding of the situation of the Zhao family, so most of them did not take advantage of this, except for a few who were born to be calculating, greedy and cheap, and came back with a shiny face, including the Zhang mother and son who wanted to rub Shen Ya's mother and daughter's oxcart before, but her husband did not come.
Zhao Tie also took advantage of the concentration of people in this village, exchanged wild boar meat for a lot of winter materials, such as charcoal, vegetables, flour, rice, etc., tossed all afternoon, and when the villagers left one by one, the Zhao couple began to clean up the messy yard with a tired face.
At night, Shen Ya's family was eating around the table, and suddenly heard a knock on the door outside the courtyard, and when they opened the door, they saw that it was the Zhao family and his wife, and Xiaohu also came, only to see that they were carrying a basket in their hands, and the basket was full of pork, not to mention fifty or sixty catties, no wonder the two of them were holding it in one hand, and the meat in the basket, Shen Ya knew at a glance that it was the best part of the wild boar.
"Shen family girl, if it weren't for you today, Zhao Tie wouldn't be able to catch this pig, this is a little pork, be careful, you must take it."
Shen Yan glanced at the meat in the basket, and said in his heart where is a little pork, half of the pig was brought He thought, Sister Ah will definitely not accept it.
Sure enough, Shen Ya just shook her head and pushed the basket back with a smile.
"Uncle, aunt, these Ya'er families have them, you can take them back quickly, there are too many, we can't eat them." After Shen Ya finished speaking, she saw that the Zhao couple looked embarrassed, thinking that if she didn't take some things, I was afraid that they would not be able to do it, so she thought about it and said: "That's it, there is one thing, in fact, Ya'er has wanted to eat it for a long time, but she didn't buy it, Uncle Zhao, you have it at home, can I go with you to get it without skipping words."
When the Zhao couple heard Shen Ya say this, a smile suddenly bloomed on their faces, and they hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, whatever you want, you can take it, Shen girl." ”
So Shen Ya followed them to Zhao's house, and entered the courtyard, Shen Ya found the pig that was thrown in the corner of the wall, picked it up and put it in the basket she brought, and asked Zhao for a pig bone and two pig's feet.
This, Shen girl, do you want these? Seeing this, the Zhao couple glanced at each other, and always felt that the Shen family girl was still deliberately turning around and refusing to accept their pork.
"Don't look down on these, these things are ready, but they are delicious, next time I will make them, I will give you a taste."
Seeing Shen Ya staring at the pig water and pig feet and pig bones in the basket with a salivating face, Zhao Tie almost thought that that thing was really delicious, but he had lived for so many years, and he had never heard anyone say that pigs were delicious in the water? Only the poorest people in the village, who could not afford to eat meat, would touch it.
However, seeing Shen Ya's greedy look, Zhao Tie also faintly began to look forward to it.
"Sister, Xiaohu wants to eat too." Zhao Hu heard that there was something delicious on the side, and he also shouted to eat it, Shen Ya squatted down and touched his head and smiled: "Okay, next time my sister is ready, I will be the first to invite you to eat." ”
