Zhang Guoqing took hunting equipment such as hunting wood barns, bows and arrows, sneaked out of the back door with a bamboo basket on his back, avoided pedestrians all the way, and walked quickly towards Daqingshan.

He didn't know how long Daqing Mountain was, and the peaks were connected, and there were villages in the middle of some peaks. Since he was five years old, he followed his grandfather up the mountain from the south to Laohugou, and he could see the distant peaks in the south. From the north to Linxian, you can also see the hills. Daqingshan does not belong to their county, and the neighboring counties are also in the northernmost part of Daqingshan. "Rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, rely on the water to eat the water." Families living in the mountains have relied on Daqing Mountain to feed their generations.

Zhang Guoqing marched towards the northernmost front, and in his memory, there was a small mountain peak in the direction of Linxian County, and there was a mountain col. The whole col is very large, with a dense forest, and there is a small stream not far away.

Several times it was found that a group of pigs appeared in the woods in search of food, and the old sow often took the piglets to play by the stream. As soon as he heard some movement, he ran to the dense forest. A herd of wild boars is easier to deal with than a lone pig. If there is really a lonely pig, he has to weigh whether it is worth it. People often say that "one pig, two bears and three tigers" is a lonely pig.

Thinking of the eight or nine hundred pounds of lonely pigs, the long fangs, and the aggressive wildness that rushed over when he saw people and animals, Zhang Guoqing was a little frightened. This time I went up the mountain to hunt wild boars, just because I was worried that this group of pigs was easy to deal with. The thought of the pigs like to come out at dusk makes him steal his fun.

Zhang Guoqing took a light step and always paid attention to the movements around him. The further you get to your destination, the more lush the trees become. In recent years, there have been fewer hunters around, and the earlier trail has gradually disappeared. Now it's overgrown with weeds and thorns. Zhang Guoqing used a firewood knife to open the way, and along the way, many common medicinal materials can be seen everywhere, and even in damp and dark places, there are many wild mushrooms, fungus, and various wild vegetables can be seen on the ground.

Zhang Guoqing, who deeply felt the lack of material in the future, secretly regretted that he didn't bring Jiaojiao over. If you have her space, you can receive it at any time, and you are not afraid that you will not be able to take it back if you gain too much.

When I think of heavy snow closing the mountains to the beginning of spring. Don't eat radish and cabbage, don't see green vegetables, freeze meat every day, and dry game is unappetizing when you think about it. He couldn't help but slow down, paying attention to his surroundings and secretly jotting down the markers. I plan to bring Zhou Jiao over next time, in addition to mushrooms and wild vegetables, a layer of thick fruits has fallen under a few chestnut trees, and there are ripe pears hanging on the wild fruit trees not far away.

Seeing the destination, Zhang Guoqing moved his hands and feet and sorted out his tools. Then walk lightly towards the creek.

It may be that this piece is close to Linxian County, and it is a small peak, and there are few people coming. A piece of prey is much less alert. Before they reached the creek, they hunted a few wild hens and a few fat rabbits. He must have encountered more than these, but time was pressing, his target was a wild boar, and he let go of all the small animals he saw along the way.

He found it easy to walk in the forest, his hearing was more sensitive, and he had a sense of danger, as if he was born a hunter. He hadn't hunted since he had crossed over, but now he understood why he had arrived in the forest, and his mood had become so happy.

Now he's used to his strength. Gradually, I got used to the strength of my hands, and I didn't break the pheasant's head and hare's head like I did at the beginning, and my scalp was broken. The prey hit was bloody and miserable. Now a stone had passed, and the skull was shattered, the skin was not broken, and no blood was coming out. The bows and arrows brought with them didn't seem to be of any use.

"Autumn rabbit, duck, spring pheasant", people in the mountains pay great attention to this point when hunting. The hare in autumn is the fattest, the wild duck in Layue is the most moist, and the pheasant in spring is very tender.

Recently, Zhou Jiao was confined, and the pheasant just gave her a bone in her body. Zhang Guoqing doesn't care about these exquisiteness. As long as it can nourish, the taste will be talked about next time. Then he beat a few pheasants with the small stones in his hand, spared most of the hares, and stole nests of wild eggs in a frenzy, and finally he was afraid that too many would break them.

The sound of animals came from the grass in the distance, Zhang Guoqing's ears were sharp, and when he heard the rough breathing and the movement, he heard the sound of rough breathing. - This is the wild boar.

Immediately held his breath and cautiously touched forward. I saw that in the big meadow with a stream, there were two big wild boars with their little pigs looking for food and drinking water and playing together.

Zhang Guoqing found a place to go against the wind. Choose a good location. Aim the arrow at the largest one, and then try to pick up the axe and place it on your right hand. I saw that he pulled lightly, and the bow and arrow were directly aimed at the largest wild boar, and his shot was not missing, and the largest wild boar's skull shattered and fell to the ground with a bang. Frightened, the other three wild boars ran on a headless rampage and ran straight into the dense forest not far away. Zhang Guoqing immediately picked up the axe and threw it over, and fell down again. The remaining two little pigs ran into the dense forest, and looked, he didn't plan to chase them, he had already reached his goal.

The two wild boars that fell weighed 600 pounds. The largest wild boar weighed three or four hundred pounds, and if it swaggered through the village, someone would definitely see it. He didn't bother to pay attention to other people's gossip.

Seeing that the time was not early, Zhang Guoqing immediately dragged the wild boar away to the stream. Untied the bamboo basket, the sharp knife for slaughtering, and simply moved his hand neatly. The wild boar was cut into two with a knife, and the bones and ribs were not even removed, leaving the pig's head, and all but some edible water was thrown away. Wash it coarsely with stream water, tie the hemp rope, and be afraid that people will see the clues. Before tying up, some dry branches and thatch were placed outside the boar and enclosed and tied with hemp rope.

After packing up, while the sky was still bright, he picked up the wild boar on his back, carried the bamboo basket, and walked out quickly. After going out of the periphery, when it was dark, there were few people walking on the road, and I immediately avoided everyone and arrived home safely.

Tense up all the way, carrying the wild boar that was close to more than 500 catties, he also had great strength, and when he was relaxed, Zhang Guoqing also felt a little tired.

In the kitchen of Zhang's house, all came up to watch and help. Lin Lishan heard Xizi's report and also rushed over to take a look. She heard that Zhang Guoqing had a lot of strength, but she didn't expect to bring back the wild boar in less than a few hours, or two. You must know that the army fights wild boars, there is no use of wooden barns, and it takes three or four people to kill a wild boar.

Even though he was very tired, Zhang Guoqing still asked Zhang's mother and sister-in-law to put the iron pot on the stove, and at the same time boiled two pots of water, and quickly poured the black skin of the four wild boars carefully. Take the knife while it's hot, and quickly shave the pig's hair clean.

After boiling I don't know how many pots of boiling water, the four wild boars all lost their hair, he first cut out the backbone and ribs, and then the pig's head, pig's tail, pig's trotters and pig's elbow were divided one by one, and the pig's leg bones followed out, and the rest was meat.

Wild boar meat is mostly lean meat, and there is not much fat, and there is no oil at home.

Zhang Guoqing asked Zhang's mother to find out the clean sand pot, and half of the fat was removed and put into the pot, which was very attractive with white flowers. The fat of these two pigs can boil a lot of oil, which is enough for Zhang's mother for a year, and the meals at home are always invisible.

Zhang Guoqing put four pork ribs, eight elbows, and pig's head together, and divided the rest into pieces and put them into four bamboo baskets.

Zhang's mother saw that her son was finally busy, and when she saw this meat, her heart kept pounding, and she hurriedly asked him: "Little Wu, when did you go out?" Why did you beat so much meat, these are two wild boars. ”

Lin Lishan also asked him: "You won't go to Beijing specifically for me to go back to Beijing tomorrow, right?" It's dark, how dangerous. That's an old forest, don't die. You're too bold, kid. ”

Zhang Guoqing saw that everyone was very excited and worried, and hurriedly comforted: "You can rest assured, I have seen it before that there is no danger, and I have not had time to go up the mountain." It's not up to my mother-in-law to go back tomorrow, and it just so happens that the wild boars come out in the evening to find food. It's not dangerous to think about it, so I don't fight anything else, just find the land. The good guy has four heads and runs two small ones. Wait until they're older and then fight, and we'll keep them. I had already come back, out of the woods, and only came back when it was dark and there was no one. Hehe, it's really okay, how many times have I beaten wild boars. ”

Everyone was relieved to hear it, he was not unscrupulous. Since I've seen it before, it's not dangerous, and it's a good budget to come back so soon.

Zhang's mother asked the old family to clean up and go into the water, and the second family's braised pig's head, pig's tail, pig's trotters and two pig's elbows, and carried two knives of meat and some bones to Uncle Zhang and Uncle Zhang's family.
