Chapter 22: Catching the Wild Boar
Banxia entered the house and saw that the messy bed was even more frizzy, so she went up and pulled the sheets, and all of them were washed. Gan Sui looked creepy when she was desperately rubbing the quilt, but it was okay to be fierce, so that she would not be bullied.
I said hello to Banxia with the book and went to the city.
said that Su Jinyu and his family hurriedly returned home, and they were trembling and worried that the officers and soldiers would come to arrest them, when they remembered the knock on the door outside, and Master Huang asked them to get the silver.
Su Jinyu bit to death and had no money, but Master Huang didn't care about this, and let his subordinates go through the house directly. Su Jinyu couldn't save the silver even if he died, and he was beaten half to death by Master Huang's men, and the family of three shouted for heaven and land, which can be regarded as retribution.
Gan Sui went to hand over the book, settled the payment, and went to the county government to find the Lin County Order. The soldiers recognized him and brought him into the inner chamber.
Lin Xianling thought that he was here to get a letter of recommendation, and was about to write it, but Gan Sui said that he would go to the academy again in the second half of the year.
"This has been delayed for more than half a year, and the scientific expedition is quite important. This delay ......"
"The student understands that adults love each other, but Jing Jing is still young, and I really don't worry about her staying at home alone. In addition, it is extremely important to accumulate academic matters on weekdays, and it is also possible for students to read books at home. ”
"It's good that you know it yourself, and don't waste your studies because of the miscellaneous things around you."
"Students remember what adults teach."
"What are you here for?"
"In the village where the students live, there are wild boars in the southwest forest, and a few days ago there were people who went into the forest and were injured by wild boars, so I want the adults to bring some more tools, and I will go back to the village and gather some young people to kill the wild boars together, so that the villagers can live more safely."
"Wild boar, where is the wild boar? I'm going too. Lin You was in a panic, I heard that Gan Sui was here and wanted to play with him, but he heard that there was a wild boar, and he hadn't seen it yet.
"Since you are going, let Lin Zhutou pick two people to go with you, he has experience in catching wild boars. However, there are also requirements, first: do not venture at will to listen to the command of Lin Zhutou. Second: Pay attention to your safety, if you get hurt, your mother will be sad. ”
"Understand, I'll go to Lin Zhutou now."
Taking advantage of this stall, Lin County Ling You and Gan Sui discussed some current county affairs, Gan Sui has seen many cases in modern times, and several suggestions can make Lin County Ling feel that he is suddenly open, and he feels more and more that Gan Sui can have a great future in the future.
Lin Zhutou came soon, Lin You secretly came to Gan Sui and muttered: "This Lin Zhutou has been to the border pass before, and he has killed people." Isn't it domineering. ”
Gan Sui looked at Lin Zhutou again, he was black and strong, his face was very ordinary, his standing posture was quite straight, and he had experience in the army at a glance, and he was very heroic.
"There's Laurin's headcatcher."
"It's okay, Gan Xiucai, please wait at the door for a while, and I'll pick two more people."
said goodbye and went down to find someone.
"Dad, I'm leaving, I'll bring you wild boar back in the evening."
Lin You grinned and walked out with Gan Sui's shoulder, "Don't worry, when you meet a wild boar, my brother will protect you." ”
Gan Sui shook off his hand, "Thank you, no." ”
Lin Zhutou came out quickly, and he also held a thick rope and a large net in his hand. The two people behind him were all tendons and meat, and they were good hands at first glance, and several of them didn't even think about walking, so they led a few horses in the county office.
"Can Gan Xiucai ride a horse?"
"It's okay, I won't take you." Lin You tried his best to brush up on his presence.
"I will." The standard action is to turn over and get on the horse.
A few people rushed back to Nancun in just half an hour, just in time for dinner. Banxia didn't expect him to come back so soon and bring someone with him. There was nothing to eat at home, so I quickly steamed the rice, boiled hot water on another pot, and told Gan Sui to watch the fire.
I had no choice but to go to the neighbor's house Gan Erniang's house to buy a chicken and a piece of bacon, ignore Gan Erniang's gossipy expression, and hurried home.
Lin Zhutou looked at the small courtyard and understood that the conditions at Gansui's house were not very good, and he was upset when he saw Banxia go out and buy chicken and bacon, and he would eat the meal in the county and come over again, he would not say anything beautiful with a hard face, but said stiffly: "Don't be so polite, just eat a homely meal." ”
"It's hard to have a guest at home, how can you not entertain well, you are a person who has contributed a lot to our village, what is a meal worth." Banxia said that he was about to pick up a knife and kill chickens.
Several big men looked at the reason why women let women kill chickens, and Lin Zhutou took a knife: "I'll come, I'll come." ”
Banxia was not polite to him, and turned around and went into the house to wash bacon. Lin Zhutou is quite skilled in killing chickens, twisting the neck of the chicken, and then stroked, Lin You looked at it and felt that his neck was cold. Ahh
The two little officials also went into the house to fetch buckets of hot water, and several people began to pluck the chickens, and the strength of the people was great, but the smell of food wafted in the courtyard for half an hour. Lin You pulled at the kitchen door several times and asked pitifully, "Okay, no, I'm going to starve to death." ”
Banxia was about to fry the spicy chicken, a large handful of dried chili peppers were put in the pot, and the spicy smell choked Lin You quickly ran to the garden, coughing non-stop. Banxia didn't seem to feel anything, so she added ginger slices and garlic cloves to the pot, put in the fried chicken pieces, and stir-fried quickly. When it comes out of the pot, add a little sugar to taste, and take it out of the pot. Then cook a mushroom soup in a small pot.
There weren't even so many stools at home, but fortunately, a few people didn't dislike it, and they squatted in the yard and ate the meal together.
"Xiao Banxia, I didn't expect your skills to be okay." Lin You was full of wine and food and began to show a playboy atmosphere again, looked at Gan Sui and said, "Banxia is such a good little girl who is cheap to you." ”
"Don't talk nonsense, get up and wash the dishes." Banxia ruffled his hair.
"What, you actually asked Ben Gongzi to wash the dishes? Do you know that the gentleman is far away from cooking? ”
"The people who eat here are all doing things, tell me what you did?"
It seems that he didn't do anything, "But I can't." ”
"I won't go to school, and I will lose five for smashing one."
"You're a money junkie."
After a few people took a break in the courtyard, they mentioned that they wanted to go to the forest to have a look, and several people were not familiar with the terrain in the forest, so they took them to the village chief's house. The village chief was eating and enjoying the cool in the courtyard, when he saw several officials and hurriedly stood up.
"Official, but what's the matter?"
"Village chief, these are the ones I invited to catch wild boars in the forest, we are not familiar with the forest, I want you to help find a few people, it is best to find a few more young people, let's go and catch the beast together."
"Okay, okay, I'll go find someone. A few people sat down for a while, and Gan Xiu helped greet first. The village chief hurriedly went to find someone, and felt surprised in his heart, this Gan Xiucai has been like a transparent person in the village in the past few years, and now this marriage has become stable and responsible. It's really different.
In the end, the appeal of the village chief was strong, and after a while, six or seven young people came, and Lin Zhutou asked them to bring hoes and machetes, and found a lot of things that wild boars liked to eat, and went to the forest together.
Lin Zhutou led everyone into the forest, Banxia and Lin You also followed, and Banxia also carried a small basket. It had rained only two days before, and the soil on the ground was moist, and the wild boar's movements were very obvious. Lin Zhutou bent down to look at the marks.
Lin You was not a quiet person and asked, "How is it, have you found anything?" ”
"The footprints here point to two paths, one is the main path, the other is the foraging path, and the top one is the mark of its recent walk, and we have to follow this path in the direction of the grass." "The mud on the grass here is still very round, indicating that the wild boar has just left, and it may be hiding nearby, so you must be careful." ”
The man in the back had already begun to swallow saliva nervously, Lin You was worried that Banxia was afraid, and turned his head to look at her, she was pulling Gan Sui to pick mushrooms under the tree. Hmph, what's the big deal, I'll find a more beautiful daughter-in-law tomorrow.
"The size of this footprint is different, indicating that there is not only one wild boar, but about two or three, and one of them should be less than 50 catties. The time for the wild boar to forage should be in the evening, or the time of the child, and we will dig the trap first. Lin Zhutou checked a few places, asked everyone to start digging traps, and after doing a good job of camouflage, the group gathered together again, retreated to the edge of the forest and continued to wait, waiting for about half an hour, Lin You was almost impatient, and wanted to rush in several times, but was persuaded by Lin Zhutou. Just when Lin You wanted to go in again, he heard the screams of wild boars, and the birds in the forest were startled.
"A wild boar has fallen into a trap, and everyone will listen to my command when they go in." Lin Zhutou said.
"You wait outside, we'll be out in a moment." It was useless for Gan Sui's body to go in, Banxia simply asked him to wait outside.
"Be careful."
Lin Zhutou asked two small officials to go in left and right with bows and arrows, and cut some leaves as cover, and the group went in, and sure enough, they saw two wild boars standing in front of a big pit, and one was trapped in a trap.
The two ends outside were already impatient, their limbs digging into the soil vigorously, and their eyes were red. The timid of the villagers had begun to be afraid, and when they accidentally stepped on the dry wood of the tree and screamed, the wild boars had keen senses and spotted them at once.
The furious wild boar began to rush towards them regardless of it, Lin Zhutou and Banxia clenched the knife in their hands, and there was a trap in front of them, the wild boar rushed closer, stepped on one of the traps, and screamed miserably.
The little wild boar heard this sound and rushed straight forward, several villagers quickly surrounded it, the little wild boar began to roar, and the wild boar who stepped on the trap suddenly pulled up the trap and rushed over quickly.
"Pull up the net."
Lin You and Banxia retreated left and right, and a few people behind them quickly listened to the instructions and quickly opened their nets. The wild boar caught the net, but it was in danger of breaking free immediately if it struggled hard, Lin Zhutou directly stabbed into the neck artery of the wild boar, blood spurted directly, the wild boar broke away desperately, and rushed straight towards Banxia, Banxia jumped up and dodged, waved the firewood knife, and made up another knife in the neck. The small officials on the left and right sides fired straight arrows, and the wild boar fell to the ground, leaving only the strength to convuls.
The little wild boar screamed even more miserably, and the wild boar in the trap struggled desperately, and the more he struggled, the deeper the bamboo knife pierced his abdomen. Blood was spilled all over the ground.
The trap was very deep and he didn't worry that it would be able to escape, so Lin Zhutou asked people to take a spear and stab it a few times.
The boar in the trap slowly collapsed.
"Is this dead?" Lin You came up: "Do you want to go down and tie the rope and pull him up." ”
"It's not good yet, it's still angry, people will be attacked as soon as they go. Wait. ”
After another half an hour, the boar was no longer silent.
Then they got down and tied a rope and pulled the boar up.
