Chapter 80: Rural Change (4th Update)

In the spring of 1911, it was a great change for the people of Fujian, as the Autonomous Assembly sent tractors for transportation and used tractors to plough the land (the type of ploughing) in some areas with relatively flat terrain, and those who were not suitable for tractors continued to use buffaloes in some areas with relatively flat terrain.

The tractor fleet of the Autonomous Assembly greatly reduced the labor intensity of the farmers in the towns and villages, and at the same time, the paper mills needed a large amount of paper-making materials, which also increased the income of the residents in the rural areas.

They can harvest reeds and weeds in their spare time, and then transport them to the paper mill by tractor, although the purchase price is low, but this income is also money for the spare time.

Not only is there no tax in the government, but every household has chickens issued by the security team, these chickens grow up quickly, and basically do not get sick, sometimes the chicken plague comes, and the other chickens and ducks die, but the chickens sent by the security team are fine.

And these chickens can lay eggs soon after they grow up, and more eggs than ordinary hens, and what is even more amazing is that this chicken tastes very good, and it is very replenishing to eat.

The only drawback is that the feed is more than the average chicken, but the wild feeding ability is very strong, if you release it to raise, the feed can save nearly one-third, not only eat insects, but also eat some tender grass, sometimes more insects can save more than half, and even do not need to feed feed.

Recently, some piglets have been distributed, but the number is not large, and there is only one head per family, and some towns have not yet been distributed.

Last winter, the security corps issued guns, and the Autonomous Assembly also drew militia training from the villages, and at first there were not many bullets in the first few months, but after the end of the year, there were more bullets for training, and the instructors even told them that the bullets would be fired casually, and the next month there would be more.

Yang Xueming is only 15 years old this year, and because he is not old, he can't join the army, so he participated in militia training, and plans to join the army after two years of training.

There are two soldiers in the village, and every time they come back, they will bring some delicious things back, what canned food, chocolates, and sweets, I heard them say that the food in the army is very good, but the training is harder, and the military salary will be raised in the future, and there are many guns in the army, which are better than the Mauser rifles used by the militia, which makes Yang Xueming yearn for it.

Yang Xueming showed a strong talent in the training, and his marksmanship was the first in the township, so he was hired by the township as a forest farm caretaker, and gave him a Mauser rifle, becoming one of the few people who could take the gun home, and the others had to return the gun after training.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, Yang Xueming and his native dog Xiaohua found a group of wild boars while patrolling the forest farm, so he climbed a tree and killed two of them, making him famous overnight in the township.

More than ten days have passed since the spring sowing, and the seedlings have grown, Yang Xueming was planting seedlings with his father on this day, and a tractor transporting seedlings drove to Yang Xueming's field and shouted to him: "Xueming, the speaker told you to go to the township to lie down." ”

"What's the matter?" Yang Xueming asked in a daze.

"I told you to go and fight the wild boar, the seedlings in the township were arched by the wild boar, and the speaker's nose was crooked." The tractor driver laughed.

"The speaker called my baby to do this farm work, who will do it!" Yang Xueming's father is not happy, fighting wild boars is such a dangerous thing, his son is only sixteen years old, if it wasn't for his luck last time, there happened to be a good big tree to climb on the side, I'm afraid he would die.

"The speaker said, I'll do it for you in a while, and I will fight the wild boar and the bounty collar!" The tractor driver said.

"Okay, I'll go." Yang Xueming didn't think about it, he pulled up his trousers and jumped up from the field, ignoring his father's shouts behind, hurriedly ran home, took his beloved steel gun, took Xiaohua and hurriedly ran over, and got on the tractor with Xiaohua.

Yang Xueming came to the council building in the township and saw several militiamen who were also invited by the speaker to fight wild boars, a total of five people.

When they came to the scene of the incident, they found that part of the ridges of the dozens of acres of rice fields used for breeding in the township had been arched by wild boars.

Yang Xueming and the other four people went up the mountain to search for the traces of wild boars that day, but they did not find it during the day, it was almost dark, and the other four decided to go home, but Yang Xueming decided to spend the night on the mountain, and most of the wild boars came out at night.

Night gradually fell, Yang Xueming and his earth dog Xiaohua lay quietly in the grass, and in the faint moonlight, the wild boar really appeared.

A group of wild boars of all sizes was more than a dozen, which made Yang Xueming very nervous.

He has seen the madness of the wild boar, the last time he didn't hide in the tree, I'm afraid he would be arched to death, he must be accurate, if he doesn't hit the wild boar, he will rush over madly, this is a kind of animal with a strong revenge surname.

Not every time you can climb a tree, some trees can't be climbed at all.

Concentrating slightly, Yang Xueming aimed the muzzle of the gun at the largest wild boar, and aimed several times, but he felt that he was not sure and did not dare to start.

Finally, after aiming for more than ten minutes, Yang Xueming saw that the wild boar was aiming its head in the direction where he was, and out of an intuition, Yang Xueming pulled the trigger in an instant.

Bang!

A gunshot pierced the night sky.

When the wild boar heard the gunshot, it immediately snorted and ran, and the bullet hit the largest wild boar, and the wild boar suddenly howled, and his blood and qi surged, and his whole body was red, and he rushed towards the direction from which the gun came.

Yang Xueming suddenly sighed in his heart, and secretly screamed that he was not killed.

At this critical moment, the little flower beside him suddenly rushed out bravely and had a fierce fight with the rushing wild boar.

After a loud cry and the howl of a boar, the boar suddenly fell to the ground.

The wild boar that rushed was the end of the crossbow, and after fighting with Xiaohua for a while, he collapsed due to excessive blood loss, Yang Xueming hurriedly ran over, and Xiaohua limped to him, sticking out his tongue excitedly, hahaha panting.

In the moonlight, Yang Xueming found that Xiaohua's leg was injured, and a deep wound was scratched on his back.

Ran to the township, Yang Xueming knocked on the door of the health station overnight, this health station was built a month ago, there are only two doctors, these two doctors are responsible for the medical work of the entire township, usually they don't charge a penny for medical treatment, and at the same time give smallpox vaccine to the villagers, and give sweet pills to adults and children Poison roundworms, the original barefoot doctors in the township have no business, I heard that they went to Jian'an to take the medical license.

After knocking on the door a few times, a doctor came and opened the door in a hurry.

The doctor is very young, I heard that he is a student from Jiangsu, and he is still studying medicine with the doctor at the health station, the doctor heard that Yang Xueming is here to treat dogs, he looks very angry, and he doesn't let people sleep in the middle of the night and runs to treat dogs, but the doctor obviously didn't dare to have a seizure for some reason, and his face was aggrieved and depressed and welcomed Yang Xueming into the health station.

Xiaohua's injury is relatively stable, although there is a wound on the back, but the miraculous thing is that the wound has stopped bleeding, the doctor heard that Xiaohua was injured like this when he was fighting with a wild boar, and he couldn't help but treat it very seriously, and detoxified the dog's wound, but he was almost bitten by Xiaohua in the struggle, and then showed Xiaohua a leg injury, but it was just a sprain, and it was good to take some bruising medicine.

The speaker heard that Yang Xueming had hit a wild boar, so he rushed to visit the situation overnight, and organized people to carry the wild boar up the mountain, and more than a dozen people went up the mountain with torches, and sure enough, a huge wild boar was found on the mountain.

Everyone couldn't help but be amazed, this wild boar had ** hundred catties, and its fangs were two inches long.

Yang Xueming was soon rewarded by the Autonomous Council, not only for the wild boar he hit, but also for rewarding him with a silver dollar and a big rooster, which was in recognition of Yang Xueming's bravery.

Within a few days, a new temporary instructor came to the armed forces department of the township, and this instructor summoned five militiamen in the township who had been issued guns, and these five people had the best marksmanship in the township.

Immediately, the instructor conducted camouflage training for the five of them, which is a skill that a sniper must have, and the five militiamen who were issued guns were specially used to train snipers, Yang Xueming was one of them, because he was the youngest and had good marksmanship, he was deeply valued by this temporary instructor, and specially taught him sniper skills for two days, and left a letter of recommendation, so that he could report to the barracks a year later.

Yang Xueming couldn't help but be very excited when he got the letter of recommendation, and he was full of enthusiasm into the practice of sniper skills, he was bound to hunt in the mountains every day, the more he practiced his marksmanship, the better he practiced, and the more wild boars he hit, and the wild boars were basically killed by one shot every time, which made his fame more and more in the township, and even the autonomous councils of the surrounding towns came to invite him to fight wild boars.
