Chapter 219 Shocked Villagers
Chapter 219 Shocked Villagers
The hunting team packed up the wild boar and called over those who stayed behind.
They cut down some trees to make some simple sleds and carriages, put all the prey on them, and then headed down the mountain with all the day's catch.
They did not return by the same route.
After all, they came into the mountains to patrol, and they made a big circle along the way.
Now we are in a hurry to go down the mountain. We don’t need to take a long detour, just go down directly.
The hunting party moved slowly with their prey, and although they returned relatively early, it was already evening when they arrived at the foot of the mountain.
Most of the villagers have finished their meal and are resting at home.
But some people gathered together to look at the several roads leading up the mountain from the village to see if the hunting team had returned.
After all, according to previous experience, if there are a lot of prey, the hunting team will send someone to bring the prey back.
Although they just entered the mountain today and the possibility of bringing back prey is slim, some people still couldn't help but come here to take a look.
However, what they didn't expect was that they actually waited for it.
Seeing the hunting team coming out of the forest, the villagers who came to watch were surprised and asked, "Qiangzi, did you get a lot today? Why did you send someone to deliver the prey today?
How many people came back?
"Everyone is back," Qiangzi replied.
The villagers were shocked when they heard this, "Why are they all back? Did something happen in the mountains?
Qiangzi, what happened to you, and who was injured? "
In the villagers’ impression, if the hunting team had not encountered a big monster and many people were injured, they would not have returned on the first day of entering the mountains.
"Don't worry, no one is hurt.
Everyone came back because there were too many prey. If we only sent some people back, we wouldn’t be able to handle it.”
When the villagers heard that there was so much prey, they became interested.
“You guys just entered the mountain today, how could there be so much prey?
They also said that they would only send a part of the people and that they couldn’t bring them back.”
"that is.
Did you encounter something you couldn't handle when you entered the mountains? You were worried that we would laugh at you, so you lied and said you had too many prey and came down the mountain."
Qiangzi said angrily, "Why would we lie to you?
When everyone comes down, you will know how much prey there is."
Qiangzi's companion said, "How dare you say that we escaped from the big guys? When Uncle Ji comes down, you have the guts to say it again in front of him and see if he will beat you."
Seeing that Qiangzi and a few others who had come down the mountain first had certainty on their faces, the villagers couldn't help but believe it a little more.
"Qiangzi, you guys really hunted a lot of things. You didn't lie to us."
"Why would we lie to you? We won't get a few more pieces of meat when the time comes."
"Hey, stop standing there and go get the captain.
The prey is still waiting for him to arrange.
We have to go back quickly to eat and rest, as we have to go back into the mountains early tomorrow morning."
The members of the hunting team behind them also came out of the forest one after another. The villagers present were shocked when they saw the many prey they brought back.
“So many wild boars, wild goats, and Meishan deer.
That’s too much.”
"This time, your harvest in one day is equivalent to what you harvested in the previous few days."
"Oh, there is so much meat. It seems that each household will be able to get a lot of meat this time."
Thinking of the delicious person, everyone felt like drooling.
Looking at the villagers standing there motionless, Uncle Ji couldn't help but frown.
"What are you still doing standing there? Go and call the captain and the others to the cafeteria.
Help transport these prey over.
We were exhausted carrying all this meat down the mountain, you guys don't still want us to do it, do you?
If you want to eat meat, you better work hard. "
Awakened by Uncle Ji's repeated questions, the villagers hurriedly said, "Uncle Ji, you guys take a rest, we will get to work right away."
The villagers sent someone to call the team leader and asked others to help along the way.
After handing the prey over to the captain, the members of the hunting team hurried back to eat and rest.
Of course, Liu Jingxue did not forget to ask the captain to remove her arrow from the wild boar's head and return it to her before the hunting team set out early tomorrow morning.
Before going to bed at night, Liu Jingxue went to the cowshed to tell them that she had returned safely and would go into the mountains again early the next morning.
The hunters went back to rest, but the rest of the people in the village couldn't rest.
After all, there are so many prey to deal with.
Although it is impossible to divide the meat now and it will have to wait until the hunting is over, it will not delay the processing of the prey brought back.
If you don't process it quickly and wait a few days before processing it, the taste of the meat will not be as good.
Although it hasn't snowed yet, the weather is already very cold, so there will be no problem keeping the meat for ten days or half a month.
At dawn the next day, Liu Jingxue arrived at the meeting place agreed upon yesterday.
When she arrived, quite a few people were already waiting there, including the captain.
Seeing her coming, the captain quickly handed her the arrow.
“Xiaoxue, keep your arrows.
But I heard that you shot almost half of the prey yesterday.
Especially those wild boars, you killed more than ten big wild boars.
Although I had high hopes for you before, I didn’t expect that I still underestimated your ability.”
Seeing the obvious bloodshot in the captain's eyes, Liu Jingxue said, "Captain, you didn't sleep all night, did you?"
The captain waved his hand and said, "It's not just me. Many people didn't sleep all night to deal with the prey."
Seeing Liu Jingxue's eyes full of concern, "You don't have to worry about us. We don't have to go to the fields to work now, so we can catch up on our sleep during the day.
As for you, you must pay attention to safety in the mountains."
"Don't worry, Captain. We will be careful."
"With Liu Zhiqing here, I don't worry about safety at all."
After hearing what this person said, Uncle Ji retorted, "Liu Zhiqing is not a god, how can she take care of so many people?
You still have to be careful, follow instructions in all your actions, and don't act recklessly.
If anyone talks nonsense, does something wrong, and puts everyone in danger, I will not care about the friendship between fellow villagers and risk my own life to save him.
Even if it was Liu Zhiqing, I wouldn't let her take this risk."
Seeing Uncle Ji staring at him unkindly, the man shrank his neck and said, "Uncle Ji, don't worry, I won't do anything rash.
I just said that to comfort the captain and tell him not to worry too much."
Uncle Ji glared at him fiercely, then said to the members of the hunting team, "Please remember what I just said. I am not kidding."
At this time, the team leader also spoke up, "Old Ji represents our team cadres.
If you disobey the orders in there and bring trouble to the other members of the hunting team, the village will punish you even if you come back alive.
When the time comes, they will be handed over to the police, and driven out of the village. We will not tolerate them.”
Members of the hunting team all said that they would never dare to act recklessly.
