Chapter 9: Gao Shun's Ideals

The boar was probably a little confused, but it actually stopped, stuck out its tongue and swiped it in the face.

Taking advantage of this, Wei Yan also saw the current situation clearly.

It turned out that at the critical moment, it was Gao Shun who pulled the rope of the trap, which organized the tragic fate of Wei Yan being pierced by the fangs of the wild boar.

However, Gao Shun's strength was too small after all, he grabbed the rope with one hand and a tree with the other, trembling all over, his face was flushed, and he couldn't support it.

Wei Yan hurriedly got up, ran away, and didn't want the hunting fork.

He shouted as he ran, "Junko, run!" ”

Gao Shun really couldn't support it, and when he saw Wei Yan running away, he quickly let go.

At this moment, he only felt that his whole body was soft, and he couldn't use any strength.

Fortunately, the target of the wild boar is still Wei Yan. It probably felt insulted by Wei Yan, so even though the rope was tightened this time, and the beast caught its leg and tore several deep blood grooves, it still howled and arched at Wei Yan.

Gao Shun picked up his hunting fork with difficulty, and moved tremblingly, finally leaving the range of the wild boar's attack.

As soon as he arrived at a safe place, Gao Shun sat on the ground with his butt on his back, lying on his back, feeling his body hollowed out.

And after Wei Yan ran out of a distance with a rolling belt, he found that although the wild boar was staring at him closely, he still couldn't break free from the trap, so he was relieved.

The wild boar's injured hind leg was bleeding profusely, and Wei Yan's eyes rolled and he paid attention.

"A stupid pig is a stupid pig, I can't beat you, and I have to bleed you to death." Wei Yan said with a smile.

He circled around and came back with a lot of stones in his hand.

The stones were the size of a fist, and the small ones were the size of a quail egg.

"I'll kill you!" Wei Yan picked a stone in his hand, tossed it in his hand, and threw it at the boar.

"Whew~"

The wild boar, which had just quieted down, howled again and struggled vigorously.

After a while, Wei Yan threw a stone, and he didn't expect to use a stone to smash the wild boar to death, he just wanted to use this method to consume the life force of the wild boar.

The wild boar was enraged again and again, rushing left and right but helpless until it was dying.

Relieved, Gao Shun thrust his hunting fork into its neck, letting it bleed its last drop.

Wei Yan went over and kicked the wild boar, making sure that it was really dead, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Finally dead."

The two took off the trap and tied the boar with a rope.

Gao Shun wiped the sweat from his forehead, glanced at Wei Yan, and laughed heartily.

This success was a breakthrough for them.

Such a strong adult wild boar is not easy for even a real hunter to deal with, and they did it.

This is not only a material gain, but also a spiritual satisfaction.

"What's next? It's about to get dark, and the road is slippery when it's dark, and it's too dangerous to go down the mountain at this time. Gao Shun looked at the sky and said.

"Well, let's find a sheltered place to get together for the night first, and then go down the mountain tomorrow at dawn." Wei Yan said.

This wild boar was so heavy that if it was on flat ground, two people could barely carry it.

But on the slopes, the road is uneven, and the ground is too slippery, and some places covered with snow look smooth, but they are actually pits.

Therefore, they can only drag it along, so that the slippery road becomes an advantage, which saves them a lot of effort.

It was not uncommon for hunters to stay in the mountains while hunting, so they would build some temporary wooden huts on the mountains for rest.

Such a wooden hut, although rudimentary, was sufficient for shelter from the wind and rain, and it was safe from wild beasts, and anyone who could not get down the mountain in time could live in it.

Unfortunately, the two of them searched for a long time in the vicinity, but they couldn't find such a wooden house, and finally they could only find a cave.

It's not correct to say that it is a cave, but it is actually a particularly prominent rock that covers a large open space, and the mountain in the middle is sunken in, so it can barely shelter from the wind and rain.

The two teenagers carried the boar to the innermost part and went out to collect some dry firewood.

Since the snow has just fallen, it has not yet begun to melt, and the firewood covered with snow has not been soaked, and some of it is relatively dry.

Hunters carry fire folds with them, and they are no exception, and soon a bonfire is built.

The warm light of the fire not only dispels the darkness and brings warmth, but also keeps the beasts from approaching.

"Are you hungry?" Wei Yan asked.

"I'm hungry." Gao Shun said honestly.

"With such a big harvest today, will you roast that hare and eat it?" Wei Yan proposed.

Although they have been hunting for a while, they have also caught a lot of small animals such as pheasants and hares.

But not every harvest is obtained, so they are generally reluctant to eat these prey, and have to exchange them for coarse grains, so as to ensure that they do not starve.

However, today's situation is special, and the harvest is relatively large, so you can consider treating yourself.

Gao Shun nodded in agreement.

The two began to work in a division of labor, Wei Yan continued to go out to collect firewood, Gao Shun turned snow into snow water, and simply disposed of the hare.

He carefully peeled off the hare's fur to avoid damage.

Hare fur can not only be sold for money, but also used to make winter clothes.

He and Wei Yan's coat is made of hare skin, which is very warm, and the hare he and Wei Yan recently caught have not sold their fur, so they plan to get a little more and make another one for Qingqing, Qingqing has been envious for a long time.

"It's so fragrant, it would be nice if I could have a little salt." Wei Yan's mouth was full of oil.

"Tomorrow sell the wild boar for a good price, let's also go buy a little salt, I see that the king of the neighboring village when hunting with a handkerchief wrapped a piece of salt, when he eats, he scrapes a little from it, he said that eating salt is strong, so he can become the best hunter in the neighborhood, and the most prey he catches, the best." Gao Shun said.

"Those salt cubes are too bitter, let's get some fine salt to eat later." Wei Yan said.

"Fine salt? What fine salt? "Gao Shun has never heard of fine salt.

"Eh~ You don't have to worry about it, hurry up and eat." Wei Yan knew that there was no way to explain this.

Wei Yan and Gao Shun are both fourteen years old, which is the age when half of the eldest child eats Lao Tzu to death, and a hare weighing three or four catties can barely eat after eating.

Wei Yan smashed the bones, still unsatisfied, "It would be nice if there were hares to eat every day." ”

"Hehe, when I grow up, I will be able to eat meat every day, and Qingqing will also have flowers to wear." Gao Shun seemed to be talking to himself, and it was like talking to Wei Yan.

Wei Yan didn't care either, and asked casually, "Shunzi, what do you plan to do when you grow up?" You don't want to be a hunter for the rest of your life, do you? ”

"I want to be a soldier." Gao Shun blurted out.
