Chapter 39: Huge sums of money
In the past few days, a good thing has happened in the village, many people have witnessed the tiger that has caused trouble in the village, somehow, rolled down the mountain and was washed away by the water in the turbulent river, since then the village is peaceful, and everyone no longer has to be afraid.
Song Jinyue still felt a pity in her heart, if this tiger was handed over to the yamen, she might get a reward, but she directly handed over the tiger to the yamen and saw that there was a problem.
"Alas, why hasn't Jinyue come back yet?"
Mrs. Song had already cooked breakfast, and when she couldn't see Song Jinyue, she couldn't help but be a little anxious.
"I'll look for it!"
Song Hailong is also worried that something will happen to Song Jinyue, although this girl has a good brain, but after all, she is a twelve-year-old girl, so she needs to pay more attention.
"I'm with my big brother!"
Song Haitao got up and chased after him.
However, the whole village searched all over the village, but there was no Song Jinyue people.
"Jinyue, Jinyue!"
They left the village and cried out in a hurry.
"Second uncle, little uncle, help!"
Song Jinyue ran down from the mountain, followed by a fat wild boar.
"Alas, what a big boar!"
Song Haitao's head was messy, the wild boar looked stupid, it was not easy to provoke, when I was in Stone Village before, there were wild boars rushing down from the mountain, knocking the people who were working in the fields to the ground and biting them to death.
Seeing that Song Jinyue was bitten by a wild boar on her trouser leg, and then fell down all of a sudden, the brothers both raised their throats in their hearts.
The boar had a deep anger in its eyes, and the human provoked it for no reason, and it wanted to bite her to death.
Song Hailong quickly removed the axe pinned to his waist, since the tiger incident, the men basically carried weapons with them in case of emergency.
Although it is now rumored that the tiger is dead, everyone still does not dare to relax completely, without the tiger, there is no guarantee that there will be no other wild beasts in the mountains.
In order to save their niece, the brothers flew with an axe and rushed towards the wild boar.
Song Haitao didn't look at it, he went up and slashed randomly, but Song Hailong looked at his head, and with a few axes, the wild boar fell directly to the ground and died.
"Woo, I'm scared to death!"
The potatoes in Song Jinyue's basket fell to the ground, and there were some wild vegetables, and she cried whining, as if she was really frightened.
"Moon girl, it's okay, don't cry!"
Song Hailong saw that his little niece was crying, and comforted him distressedly, and he couldn't say the words of reproach.
"I just heard from those homeless people that there are potatoes and sweet potatoes in the mountains!"
Song Jinyue wiped away her tears, looked at Song Hailong's appearance of wanting to speak and stopped, and said with a sob.
"I'm only at the bottom of the mountain, not in the depths!"
"Alas, no one blames you!"
Song Haitao saw that there were no wounds on this little niece's body, so he smiled, "However, if you are okay in the future, don't run up the mountain!" ”
"My eldest brother and I will go to the county tomorrow to find some work to do, and the family will be fine in the future!"
He looked at the big wild boar, and his heart was already happy, thinking that when his eldest brother hunted in the mountains, he used traps to make some pheasants, roe deer, rabbits and other small animals, and the wild boars they hunted today were worth more than the prey that his eldest brother had hunted in half his life.
But he also started to worry, this wild boar seems to be not light, and he and his second brother are afraid that they will not be able to carry it!
However, this wild boar was beaten by them, and they can't let people know about it, otherwise I'm afraid there will be a lot of people who want to take advantage of it.
"Second uncle, I know that there is a good place at the foot of the nearby mountain, just enough to hide this wild boar!"
Song Jinyue had already put away her crying face and smiled, "Then, you or the second uncle can go back to the village to pull a flatbed truck and cover it with a bed." ”
"That's it, hide it first!"
Fortunately, it was early in the morning, and most people were cooking or eating at this moment, and there was really no one around.
The three uncles and nephews made some effort to drag the wild boar to the cave and hide it, and then Song Hailong went back to pull the cart.
After arriving home, I briefly told Mrs. Song about the situation, and it was hidden that Song Jinyue almost encountered danger, and Mrs. Song and others were very surprised when they heard it.
"But don't talk about it!"
Song Hailong was worried that if he said it, the Song family would attract people's attention, now everyone has no money, eating relief food, and your family has beaten wild boars and made money, and some people will definitely suffer from pink eye.
After Song Hailong finished speaking, he pushed the car and left home, and some people couldn't help but ask curiously when they saw it.
Song Hailong didn't panic, he just said that he was going to chop some trees and come back as firewood, and everyone didn't doubt him, after all, Liu Guisheng and others often pushed the flat car out to pull firewood.
One or two discussed with Song Hailong, and then borrowed a car to pull firewood, Song Hailong did not refuse, and nodded in response.
Then the brothers hurried out of the village, near the cave, and looked around again, before dragging the boar into the cart and covering it with a bed.
Song Hailong pushed the car and took Song Jinyue and Song Haitao to the county seat.
There are shops in the county town that specialize in collecting game, and several people chose the largest shop and pushed the door in.
Looking at the fat wild boar sent by a few people, the shopkeeper was really taken aback, many restaurants in the county want wild boar, those rich people like these wild meat, and he can make a lot of money after eating this order.
"The price is good with a few of you in advance, I will give you one hundred and twenty pounds of this wild boar, what do you think?"
The boss's eyes were shrewd, and he directly raised the price to the price in the minds of several people.
Now that there is a famine in the country, the price of rice has risen to 30 wen a catty, and the price of ordinary pork fluctuates around 60 wen, and the price of this wild boar is 120 wen a catty.
"That's it, let's do it!"
The three exchanged glances, then nodded.
"However, we have to keep a piece of this wild boar meat and eat it home!" Song Jinyue said with a smile.
"Okay, since you agreed, I'll weigh it first!!"
The shopkeeper called the work, cleaned the wild boar, and weighed it after dividing it, and the rich squires in the county loved this wild boar, and he sent it directly to the restaurants and restaurants after he finished dividing.
The wild boar was weighed, and a small piece left by a few people was removed, which was four hundred and twelve catties in total, and converted into fifty-one taels of silver and eight hundred and forty wen.
Seeing that the shopkeeper took out the whole money, Song Haitao spoke, "It's almost fifty-two taels of silver, please make it up, we will still give you this after hunting other prey in the future!" ”
"Ha, you kid is a little interesting, so I'll give you fifty-two taels!"
After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he exchanged the copper plate for one tael of silver, just fifty-two taels, and gave it to Song Hailong.
"Thank you!"
Song Hailong bowed his hand slightly, expressed his gratitude, and then left the shop with his younger brother and niece.
"Uncle, you were really amazing just now!"
Song Jinyue naturally pointed to the fact that he asked the shop owner to make things up.
"It's just a try, if he agrees, we'll have more money, and we won't lose anything if we don't agree!"
Song Haitao actually said it casually just now, but I didn't expect people to really agree, fifty-two taels of silver, a huge amount of money!
