This year's harvest in Qingshan Village is not good, there are not a few rains throughout the year, and the grain tax is paid again in the autumn harvest.

The news that there are wild boars on the east mountain makes everyone excited, especially the young and strong people in the family, who are waiting to go up the mountain to get a piece of the pie.

There are a total of four hunters in the village, and Uncle Sun is the first to discover the people, and some powerful croppers, a total of nearly twenty people.

There are three of the Shan family, Shan Dalang with his eldest son Dazhu, plus Shan Tao, a treasure hunt expert who is mainly the same job as the hound and the mascot.

The couple in the second room didn't want to agree to this, how could the wild boar be so easy to catch, for fear that the mountain peach would have an accident, but they couldn't resist her righteous words - the second room was going to be unable to open the pot.

Du Yingqiu, who stayed at home, picked up the embroidery needle, and Yamajiro used a branch to scratch Ramer on the sand to write Confucian classics, which was inspired by his own daughter.

The second pillar and the big pillar failed to wrestle their wrists, and were deprived of the qualification to go up the mountain, staying at home to take care of the fields, and they were angry in their hearts, but when they came, they still made a stone spear for the mountain peach.

"The kind we played with before was too long for you, and this one is just right." Erzhu stuffed a stone spear that was a little taller than the mountain peach to her, "This head is embedded in it, made of bluestone, but it is solid, you take it for self-defense." ”

The spearhead of the stone spear is embedded in the mouth of the wooden stick with smoothed bluestone, and it is reinforced with hemp rope, and the spear body is made of reddish-brown jujube wood, which is hard and not easy to break.

Holding the brand-new stone spear, Yama Tao can't put it down, and after polishing, it is rough and delicate to the touch, which is easier to stab out and retract.

Avoiding people, she slid the stone spear from its halfway position to its tail, and swung it around the yard, raising a cloud of dust on the ground, leaving a shallow trail.

Even if Erzhu has seen his little sister playing with a stick on the West Mountain, he can still see it at this time, and he slapped his slap and screamed crisply, "Why do you play this thing better than the monkey who performs, and I will teach you my second brother in the future." ”

The corners of Dazhu's mouth twitched, and the thick slap landed on the back of Erzhu's head, "Did you say that about your sister?" ”

"Your second brother can't do anything else, only your grandfather did carpentry at the beginning, you like it, ask him to do more for you in the future." Shan Dalang couldn't see the sharpness of Shan Tao's marksmanship, he only felt that he was like a village child playing a hero.

"I like it very much, thank you second brother!" This stone spear is not a serious weapon, it is completely made by Erzhu himself, but Shan Tao smiled and thanked him crisply.

Erzhu, who was hit by his eldest brother and father one after another, retracted his eyes, and he was happy when he saw Shan Tao's smile, and said with a smile that he would make it for her after looking for good materials.

After lunch, Uncle Sun gathered all the people who were going up the mountain and talked about the arrangements for going up the mountain to catch wild boars, especially those who had never hunted and liked to take the lead.

"Wild boars start mating in October, and now most of the sows have calves, and the sows that have calves get together to live, and the boars go it alone."

After discovering the traces of wild boars, Uncle Sun immediately went up to Dongshan to investigate.

Wild boars are vigilant, will avoid crowded places to move, day and night, this year because of the drought, the wild trees on the mountain fruit is also poor, omnivorous they will run to the periphery, it is estimated that they can no longer find enough food, they will run to the village fields.

Therefore, catching wild boars is not only to add food to the village, but also to deter them and prevent them from going down the mountain to make trouble.

As long as the village is in a bad year, it is always easy to encounter wild boars, and the winter wheat in the field is tossed again, and everyone will really have no way to live next year.

"We have to catch lone boars, and we must not mess with herds of sows. When it gets darker, go up the mountain and don't go alone. ”

In addition to the stone spear sent by Erzhu, Shan Tao carried a small satchel made of rags, which came from Du Yingqiu's hand, and picked out an indigo rag of a similar color, and his back was thick and diagonally across his shoulders.

The satchel was filled with a piece of hemp rope and flint, afraid that she would be hungry, so Du Yingqiu prepared two more multigrain buns.

Shan Dalang and Dazhu are one left and one right, protecting Shan Tao in the middle, walking in the middle and back of the team, if there is something wrong, it is easy to escape with her.

As soon as he went up the mountain, the half-grown boy who participated in such a large-scale operation for the first time was still talking and laughing, and when he went a little off, Uncle Sun motioned for everyone to be quiet with his eyes.

"Siya, look, which side looks like there is a wild boar?"

Wild boars are so warm and wet, but the range of Dongshan is vast, and it is difficult for Uncle Sun to accurately locate an area, and the hunting dog also has a range limit, so he can only ask God to worship Buddha and try his luck.

The god and Buddha who pray to the gods and worship the Buddha refer to the mountain peach, which is a blessed bag that can catch game at two ends in three days.

In front of so many people, Shan Tao naturally couldn't be as relaxed as when he was with his brother.

With a small face, Shan Tao circled around everyone, walked a few steps to the east, walked a few steps to the west, and still had words in his mouth, but in fact, he was using fairy magic, and he was looking for a pig with wide eyes.

Thanks to Uncle Sun, he is a good hunter and circled the range, otherwise with the topography of the mountains and mountains in the east, the mountain peach will not see a single pig hair when he uses up today's share.

About a kilometer to the east, there was a small hillside, a hole leaked in the sun, and vegetation was blocked.

"I think there's one here." Shan Tao retracted his gaze and pointed in the direction he had just seen, not saying that he saw it, but only by feeling.

A few hunters glanced at the direction, muttered about the environment over there, felt that it was indeed suitable for the survival of wild boars, and decisively believed in the power of metaphysics.

After walking in the direction pointed by Shan Tao for a while, everyone found traces of wild boars walking, as well as fresher feces.

It's not too dirty, Uncle Sun twisted a piece of feces with his hands, judged the footprints again, and was overjoyed, "It's here, the foot is round, the hoof flap is thick, it's the head of the male, and the size is not small." We set traps first, and wait until night to slowly ambush them. ”

The rest had little to do with Yamamo, she found a place with a wide view and squatted, watching with interest what the hunters were up to.

The animal traps are the largest, and the location of the distribution is also very particular, and it is also necessary to cover it with some smelly vegetation nearby to prevent wild boars from smelling the smell of the animal traps.

The traps were set up, and food to lure wild boars had to be placed in some of the previous positions.

Wild boars are omnivorous, meat and vegetarian are not taboo, the hunters discussed and put enough bait, Uncle Sun finally sprinkled a handful of unknown powder, and the mountain peach shrugged the tip of his nose, and found that the taste of food seemed to spread.

When it was almost night, there was a gust of wind, Uncle Sun raised his hand to identify the direction of the wind, and said with a smile: "We have the right time and place, and it can't smell its nose even if it hides in the grass against the wind." ”
