Chapter 2: Luck

After waiting patiently for a while, Cheng Kun finally saw the wild boar's huge body shake for a while, and then fell to the ground.

Cheng Kun got down from the big tree where he was hiding and walked in front of the wild boar. At this time, the wild boar was out of breath, and behind him was a large pool of fishy bloodstains, and the two small eyes were wide open, obviously the wild boar was very unwilling to die.

Cheng Kun pursed his lips, I'm not afraid of you when I'm alive, who will I scare when I'm dead! This wild boar is quite big in its kind. Cheng Kun estimated that there were more than two hundred kilograms, that is, about four stones. The tiger is slightly smaller, but it is almost 200 kilograms.

Cheng Kun's face was a little bitter, he reached out and scratched his scalp, and he had a headache. The two big prey add up to 400 kilograms, and how to bring them home is a problem. Cheng Kun has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he has been wandering around Broken Dragon Mountain all day long, and he has eaten a lot of game, and his figure is similar to that of a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy. Of course, the strength is not small, but in the end, he is still only a ten-year-old child, and 400 kilograms is still a bit difficult.

Cheng Kun looked up at the sky and found that the sun was about to set, and now the days were getting shorter and shorter, and it was obvious that night would soon be ushered in. And the place where I am is is about half an hour away from the village, and it is a little too late to go back to call people, and the danger of Broken Dragon Mountain at night is simply skyrocketing.

sighed helplessly, it seemed that he could only go on it himself. I pretended to be forced to finish it with tears in my eyes.

Cheng Kun used the firewood knife he carried with him to break the roadblocks to cut a few thick branches, found a few vines, and made a simple climbing plow. Put the heavier boar on it, ready to drag it away, and as for the tiger, carry it directly.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone gently on Cheng Kun's body, accompanying him step by step towards the small mountain village at the foot of the mountain. The tiger's huge body covered Cheng Kun's upper body tightly, and from behind, it seemed that the tiger had run away with long legs, and the picture was a little joyful......

......

In Cheng's village, Cheng Zhen was chopping wood in the courtyard, but his movements were a little careless, his eyes drifted out of the gate from time to time, and his expression was a little anxious.

Cheng Kun's mother, Cheng Li, had dinner in the house, and after the dishes were ready, she walked into the courtyard and said to Cheng Zhen: "Why hasn't Xiao Kun come home yet, I'm a little uneasy, otherwise, you can go and find him." ”

"No, this kid is very good, I have led everyone to clean up the village several times in the past few years, there are basically no big beasts, and there will be no danger. ”

Having said that, Cheng Zhen still couldn't stop worrying on his face, and then said fiercely in his mouth: "This little rabbit cub, he doesn't care about his family when he gets up, see how I clean him up when he comes back!"

"Come on, you didn't say that once, and I haven't seen you do it once. Cheng Li didn't give her husband face at all, pouted and retorted.

Cheng Zhen's face was a little stupid, and it was obvious that what his wife said was the truth.

Don't look at Cheng Zhen's dark complexion, he is silent on weekdays, and he looks very serious, but he is an out-and-out loving father at home. He went out to join the army when he was young, and did not quit the army until his left leg was injured and returned to his hometown to marry, and he was twenty-seven years old when Cheng Kun was born.

In ancient times, when men started a family at the age of fifteen or sixteen on average, Cheng Zhen was already regarded as an "old man", and he naturally doted on his son.

And in Cheng Zhen's opinion, his son is already sensible. When I was young, I basically didn't wet the bed, and I didn't need to be supervised by adults to eat or sleep. After being a little older, he also went to learn words from Xu Xiucai in the village, compared with other children of the same age in the village, it was too quiet and well-behaved.

He once thought that his ancestral grave was smoking, and he was going to produce a talent. Although it turned out later, he thought too much.

It wasn't until he was seven or eight years old that Cheng Kun revealed the essence of a bear child, and after eating at dawn every day, he ran to the mountains behind the village, and ran for a day, and did not go home until dinner was about to be eaten in the evening.

Cheng Zhen was not at ease at first, and secretly went behind Cheng Kun, but it turned out that this kid was like a monkey when he arrived in the mountains, he was too flexible, and he seemed to be familiar with such an environment, and Cheng Zhen almost didn't keep up behind!

Later, Cheng Zhen saw that he didn't run too far, so he was relieved.

It's just that Cheng Kun used to play and play, and he usually went home on time, unlike today, when the meals have been prepared, and there is no one in sight.

......

The two of them were secretly anxious in the courtyard, when they suddenly heard the excited screams of children outside the gate. After that, the old and young masters also sounded loudly, and from time to time there were a few exclamations, and the sound reached the ears of Cheng Zhen and Cheng Li along the wind.

"Such a big tiger, I'm afraid it won't cost three or four hundred catties!"

"Kunzi is really a good skill, he can hunt tigers at such a young age, and he will definitely have a future in the future. ”

......

Hearing his son's name, Cheng Zhen hurriedly walked outside, only to find a group of people in the village gathered together. He stepped forward, and someone noticed Cheng Zhen, pulled him and said excitedly: "Old Cheng, take a look, your kid hunted a boar and a tiger from the mountain!"

Cheng Zhen was shocked when he heard this, and set aside everyone, and sure enough, he saw two beasts on the ground, and the sweaty and proud face next to him was not his own boy, who else could it be?

Cheng Kun was enjoying the amazed eyes of the adults here, and the waves were not good, he suddenly felt a chill on his back, looked back, and saw his father at a glance.

found that his father's face was much darker than usual, and he knew that he was coming home too late, which made his father and mother anxious. He secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good, and hurriedly stepped forward obediently to admit his mistake: "Father, the child is late to come back, and you are worried." ”

Cheng Zhen didn't speak, just looked at the wild boar and tiger on the ground, and was a little unable to come back to his senses.

He was so experienced in hunting that he could see at a glance how dangerous these two beasts were when they were alive. For a while, my mood was a little complicated, I was proud of my son, but I couldn't help but be afraid, how did such a young child hunt such a big prey?

Thinking of the danger that Cheng Kun might encounter in the middle, Cheng Zhen was in a cold sweat, looking at his son who was pretending to be obedient in front of him, his face couldn't help but turn black into charcoal. But in front of everyone, Cheng Zhen still saved some face for his son and did not reprimand him.

After a while, it was already dark, and everyone went home after satisfying their curiosity, still talking about Cheng Kun's feat today.

It's no wonder that the villagers are so gossipy, it's not that they haven't seen large prey like wild boars and tigers before, but basically they are all hunted by the hunter team organized by the village, and they are all adult men. But who has ever seen a ten-year-old do it, and two at a time!

After everyone dispersed, Cheng Zhen took his son's hand and said, "Go, follow me home." ”

Cheng Kun felt his father's big hand tremble slightly, and suddenly realized the fear in his heart at this time, and his heart was also warm, and he also held his father's hand hard. It's just that before he went far, Cheng Kun's footsteps stopped, Cheng Zhen looked down at him, and his brows furrowed: What's wrong?

Cheng Kun didn't speak, turned his head and pouted behind him. Cheng Zhen turned around and found that his son's "trophies" were still on the ground, so he had to turn around and help him carry the wild boar.

Cheng Zhen carried the wild boar, and his breathing was also rough, and only then did he feel the weight of the wild boar. Looking at his son who was carrying the tiger and walking in front, his face was not red and he was not panting except for sweat, Cheng Zhen's eyes were a little straight for a while.

......

At home, Cheng Li's family has been waiting for a long time, and when he saw his husband and son carrying one on their shoulders and walking into the yard, he couldn't help but feel a little distressed while being surprised, "You two are old and young, what can you do, quickly put it down, pack up and go into the house to eat." ”

Cheng Zhen put the wild boar in the corner of the yard, let out a sigh, felt a little stuffy in his chest, shook his head, and secretly said that he had been a little slack in the past few years, and his body was indeed not as strong as before.

The father and son washed their hands, wiped the sweat from their bodies, and went into the house to prepare for dinner. The meal had been smothering in the pot and still hot. Basically, they are all vegetables grown in their own vegetable garden, there is no meat, only the oil residue left after the fat meat is refined and fried by Cheng Li and the vegetables, which is considered meaty.

Now, after all, it is ancient times, the productive forces have not yet developed, and life in the countryside is still very simple. Even in a village like Chengjia Village, where hunting makes a living, no one says that they can eat meat every day. The prey caught will also be sold for money in exchange for daily necessities.

In contrast, Cheng Kun's family is quite good, because Cheng Zhen is the leader of the hunter team, and he can get an extra share of the prey every time he hits it.

In addition, Cheng Kun has been running to the mountains almost every day in recent years, and when he comes back, he often brings some pheasants, hares and other animals to improve his diet. He was a little child's stuff, and no one was too embarrassed to take a bite.

Cheng Kun was so hungry that he began to devour the rice bowl on the table, and after a while, he killed two large bowls of rice. Although the rice is brown rice, Cheng Kun eats it very sweetly.

After eating, Cheng Kun's mother cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen. At this time, Cheng Zhen made time to ask his son what happened.

Cheng Kun then gave a complete account of how he set a trap before, and how the tiger and pig fought each other and was picked up by himself.

Cheng Zhen listened, and was a little relieved. After all, his son fought head-on alone before he was an adult, hunting tigers and wild boars, which sounds a bit demonic.

Cheng Zhen thought for a while and said to Cheng Kun: "I just took a few looks, that tiger should have just become an adult, and he is not very experienced, and he may be hungry and ruthless, so he will find a wild boar and be picked up by you." Experienced tigers will measure their abilities before hunting, and if they are not sure, they will give up no matter how hungry they are. As for the wild boar, it can only be considered unlucky. “

Cheng Kun touched his nose and smiled, understanding that his father was vaguely warning himself not to get carried away. He also knows that luck plays a big role in today's harvest.

Cheng Zhen glared at him: "When you see this kind of thing in the future, remember to stay away." Although your mother didn't say anything about you, she didn't know what her worries would look like. These days, you just stay at home honestly and don't run anywhere. In the months that followed, the weather became more and more muddy, and there was nothing to do in the mountains. ”

Cheng Kun was a little depressed in his heart, but he also knew that he had no bargaining, so he had to nod and agree. He secretly complained in his heart: did his father really think that he was a child, and he went up the mountain every day just to play?
