Siheyuan: Cao Liang's rise

Cao Liang returned home, found his second uncle, and whispered, "Second uncle, come with me, I got something good."

Cao Weimin jumped up from the bed and said excitedly, "Good boy, you're lucky! What did you catch? A rabbit?"

It's no wonder he thought so. After all, when Cao Liang went out, he brought nothing with him. The most he could do was catch a rabbit, and that required luck.

"No, it's the big one." Cao Liang shook his head.

Cao Weimin's eyes widened instantly. "Did you catch a stupid roe deer?"

"No."

Seeing Cao Liang shaking his head, Cao Weimin was about to say, "I knew you wouldn't be that lucky," when he heard Cao Liang say, "I hunted a wild boar."

"what?"

Cao Weimin screamed and stood up suddenly. "You said you hunted a wild boar?"

Cao Liang reminded: "Second Uncle, please keep your voice down."

"Oh, right, right."

Cao Weimin also knew that this matter could not be made public. After all, every household was not able to get enough food, let alone meat. Others knew that Cao Liang had hunted a wild boar, but would they share the spoils or not?

If I don't share, I will be envied. If I share, I will be reluctant to part with it.

But he still couldn't believe it, so he asked again, "Liangzi, did you really hunt a wild boar?"

"Uncle, you will know when you go and see it." Cao Liang said, "It is daytime now. I was afraid of being seen, so I didn't dare to bring it back and hid it on the mountain."

"You're right to do that."

Cao Weimin said excitedly: "Liangzi, come on, take me there now."

Cao Liang nodded and took Cao Weimin up the mountain.

He came to the place where he had hidden the wild boar before, pulled aside the grass used to cover it, and revealed a wild boar.

Actually, Cao Liang originally wanted to bring out a blind bear, but he found it too troublesome to explain, so he changed it to a wild boar.

Previously in the mountains, the blind bear could not escape the fate of being thrown into the space, and is now staying in the ranch in the space.

Cao Liang planned to find a way to get rid of it when he returned.

He needs a lot of things now, such as seeds.

Now the one acre of land in his space is empty and in urgent need of seeds.

Moreover, the animals in the space also need food. Rabbits are okay, as they can eat grass, but wild boars and the like are not.

Therefore, the primary goal now is to obtain seeds of various crops.

"Wow, this head must weigh at least 200 kilograms."

Cao Weimin stared at the wild boar in amazement, then turned around and asked, "Liangzi, how did you catch it?"

Cao Liang laughed and said, "I was lucky. This guy fell into a pit and I found him. Then I killed him with a stone."

There were scars on the wild boar's head from being hit by a heavy object. Cao Liang had done that on purpose.

Sure enough, Cao Weimin didn't ask any more questions after hearing this. He nodded and said, "You are indeed lucky."

He looked at the sky and said, "It's still early now, let's go back in the evening."

Cao Liang naturally had no objection.

Two hours later, Cao Weimin said, "It's almost done. Let's go back! Liangzi, come and give me a hand."

"Uncle, let me do it!"

Cao Liang took the lead, carried the wild boar on his shoulders, and walked forward with big strides. He looked so relaxed.

"Good boy, your strength is getting stronger and stronger."

Cao Weimin was also shocked. It was a 200-pound wild boar, and it was so easy?

Seeing Cao Liang walking away, he hurriedly chased after him.

Because everyone is hungry now, even though it is only a little after seven in the evening, everyone in the village has gone to bed early, and there is no one to be seen outside.

The two of them returned home safely.

The lights in Cao's house were still on, after all, Cao Liang and Cao Weimin had not returned.

Hearing the noise, Ding Chunhua came out and asked, "Boss?"

"it's me."

Cao Weimin replied, then turned back and motioned to Cao Liang, "Liangzi, put it inside."

Cao Liang nodded and carried the wild boar into the house.

"Liangzi, you're finally back. If Xiaojun hadn't told us that you and your uncle went out together, we would have been worried to death."

As Ding Chunhua spoke, she lit a candle, and when she saw the wild boar on the ground, she exclaimed, "Wild boar!"

"Keep your voice down, you damn bitch!"

Cao Weimin shouted hastily.

"Is Liangzi back?"

At this time, the old man and the old lady also heard the noise and came over. They also saw the wild boar and their eyes widened immediately.

"You caught the wild boar?"

The two old men were relatively calm and did not scream like Ding Chunhua. They asked in a low voice.

Cao Weimin said: "To be exact, it was Liangzi who caught it..."

Cao Weimin told the two elders what had happened.

The old lady looked Cao Liang up and down nervously, and asked with concern: "Liangzi, are you okay? You are such a fool, to do such a dangerous thing. If anything happens to you, it will cost me my life!"

The old lady was not concerned about the wild boar, but Cao Liang, which made Cao Liang feel warm in his heart.

He sneered and said, "Grandma, I'm not hurt. The wild boar fell into a trap and I didn't even get close to it."

Cao Weimin asked: "Dad, what should we do with this wild boar?"

The old man looked at Cao Liang and said, "Since it was Liangzi who hunted it, he has the final say."

After these words were spoken, everyone looked at Cao Liang.

Cao Liang thought about it and tried to say, "How about keeping it for eating?"

He was also thinking that his family was lacking in nutrition, and besides, he had other prey in his space.

When they heard this, they were stunned.

The old lady poked Cao Liang's forehead and scolded him with a smile: "You prodigal son, this is a wild boar weighing more than 200 kilograms, how can you eat it all? You must be exchanging it for food!"

Cao Liang scratched his head with a silly smile.

"Second brother, when you kill the pig later, just keep 20 kilograms of meat, and take the rest to the black market to exchange for food!"

In the end, it was the old man who spoke and made the final decision.

So, Cao Weimin and his wife started to get busy.

When Cao Weimin was a child, he learned some skills from a hunter, so killing pigs was no problem for him.

Originally Cao Liang wanted to help, but neither of them gave him the chance. He could only learn how to slaughter the pig from the side, since he would need it in the future anyway.

More than an hour later, the pig was slaughtered.

Cao Weimin packed it in a sack, and the old man reminded him, "Be careful on the road."

"Don't worry, Dad! It's not the first time I've been there."

Cao Weimin replied, picked up the sack and was about to go out.

Cao Liang hurriedly said, "Second Uncle, I'll go too."

"No."

The old lady rejected it directly and said, "Liangzi, the outside world is not peaceful right now, so let your uncle go."

How could Cao Liang give up? He insisted, "Grandma, I will be eighteen next year, and it's time for me to see the world."

Although what Cao Liang said made sense, the old lady was still a little worried.

Cao Liang struck while the iron was hot and said, "Grandma, you know I've been practicing martial arts since I was a child. If Second Uncle gets into trouble, I can still help him."

The old lady was moved.

She had only four children in her life, two sons and two daughters.

The eldest son has already sacrificed himself. If something happens to the second son now, how can she bear it?

But on the other hand, she was worried about Cao Liang. After all, they were the eldest family and Xiao Ming was still young, so they relied on Cao Liang to support the family. If something really happened, Huilan would definitely not be able to bear it.

"Let Liangzi go!"

At this time, the old man spoke, and he said to Cao Weimin: "Second brother, take good care of Liangzi."

"Hey." Cao Weimin joked, "Dad, you don't know, Liangzi is very strong now, and he has practiced martial arts. With him accompanying me, I feel much more at ease on this trip!"

The old man glared at him when he heard that.

This brat, I asked him to take care of Liangzi, but he started to rely on the younger generation. He is simply asking for trouble.

Seeing that his father was angry, Cao Weimin smiled and ran away carrying the sack.

"Grandpa and grandma, you should go to bed early! We will be back after we exchange the food."

Cao Liang said something to the two elders and followed them.

"Liangzi, be careful. If you meet a bad guy, don't act foolishly. It doesn't matter if you lose your meat. The most important thing is life..."

The old lady was still giving instructions, but the two figures had disappeared into the night.
