"Don't worry, someone is coming, it should be Li Shaoling and his group. Let's see how they perform. If they are good, give them one."

Liu Xia Lian is the boss, so Xu Shiba naturally has no objection.

Sure enough, not long after, Li Shaoling, Li Hu and four others came over with hunting rifles.

"What happened? What happened?"

Xu Shiba said: "Nothing, I just killed six wild boars."

Li Shaoling was quite disappointed to see that the wild boar had already fallen to the ground. The rules in the mountains were that if you hunt together, you would split the boar in half once you meet. But he hadn't fired a single shot, so he had no nerve to say such a thing. He immediately put away his gun and said, "I don't think you can get it. Do you need help getting it?"

Liu Xialian pointed at the largest one and said, "It was born and raised by nature, and I can still eat it all by myself. It was fate that we met. Li Baotou, this one is yours. You can break it up and take it back. We will take the remaining five."

Li Shaoling was a little excited. They had been out for a day and hunted a small wild boar, two rabbits, and two pheasants. This big wild boar must have weighed more than 200 kilograms, so it would be a big harvest if the four of them shared it.

"Okay, Sister Xia Lian is a righteous woman, and Old Li is not a slacker. I will help you carry one head, so that everyone can relax. Once we get out of the forest, it doesn't matter if we get there early or late."

Li Hu cut the wild boar into pieces, discarded the inedible internal organs, and divided it into three large pieces, with each person carrying one piece on his back.

Li Shaoling and Xu Shiba carried the big pig. Liu Xia Lian took two of the remaining four little wild boars, Erya took two, and Li Damei was responsible for guarding.

However, with the three dogs, Big Yellow, Big Gray and Little Black, there is no problem with outer perimeter security.

We walked the seven or eight miles very quickly. After we got out of the mountain, we rested for a while before continuing on our way. By the time we arrived at Lijiatun, it was already dark, past eight o'clock in the evening.

"Brother Xu, let's leave the prey at Da Mei's house first. We'll divide it up tomorrow. It's too late. Let's all go back and rest. Captain Li, thank you for your hard work. It's dangerous at night. Rest in the village for a night and leave tomorrow."

Li Shaoling pointed at Li Hu and the others and said, "There are four of us with four guns. What's there to be afraid of? Besides, it's just a few miles of flat road, and it's easy to walk. Let's go back first."

"Boss Li, please wait a moment." Liu Xia Lian said as she went back to the house. After a while, she came out with two packs of Baishan cigarettes and a box of matches.

"Take this and smoke it to relieve your fatigue on the way."

Li Shaoling said: "Thank you very much, we are leaving now."

Liu Xia Lian and three other friends stayed at Damei's house. They were in such a hurry on the journey that they didn't feel hungry, but as soon as they got home their stomachs growled with hunger.

Li Damei lay on the bed: "I'm so tired, who will go cook?"

Erya rolled up her sleeves and said, "I'll do it."

Liu Xia Lian quickly stopped him: "No, no, I'll go make it. I have pickles, so I'll just cook some noodles."

Xu Shiba returned the gun to Liu Xia Lian and went back with his own Dahui.

Guilan had already closed the door, and Xu Shiba called out, "Wife, wife, open the door."

After a while, the daughter-in-law came out dressed, holding a flashlight, and asked, "Who is it?"

"I am eighteen."

Guilan opened the door and was surprised: "Didn't you say this morning that you would be back in three or four days? How come you're back so soon?"

"Xia Lian found some good stuff, made a small fortune, and brought back four wild boars." Xu Shiba was a very good secretive person. Liu Xia Lian had arranged that wealth should not be revealed, and the hundred-year-old ginseng must be kept secret, so he didn't even dare to tell his wife. At least it was kept absolutely confidential before it was sold.

"That's really a fortune. Four wild boars, at least several hundred dollars. Didn't I give you some?"

"How could we not divide them? Liu Xialian is an incredible girl. She shot down two big wild boars with two shots. Her shooting skills are fast and fierce, and every shot hits the head. It's too late today. We will divide them tomorrow morning. Prepare the vermicelli noodles. We can eat pork then."

Early in the morning, a large iron pot was set up by the river, and Liu Xia Lian invited the village butcher.

There were five wild boars in total, one big and four small, and there were dozens of villagers watching.

Xu Shiba helped, and the butcher performed the surgery.

After shaving and cutting the hair, the four little wild boars produced a total of 130 kilograms of meat.

There was a lot of wild boar meat, about 120 kilograms. In addition, there were several dozen kilograms of pig heads and offal. The butcher gave them two small pig heads and went home happily.

The villagers who were watching wanted to buy meat. Xu Shiba was in charge of cutting, Liu Xialian collected the money, and Li Damei kept the accounts. The wild boar meat was sold at 80 cents per pound, and they got a total of 100 yuan. Two pig heads and several dozen pounds of pig offal were given to Xu Shiba. Mother took a pig's hind leg and left four pig's trotters for Daya and Erya.

Liu Xia Lian was going to the city, so she took out a hundred dollars from the butcher and handed it to Xu Shiba: "Brother Xu, take this hundred dollars first. The four of us will go to the city, and we'll divide the money when we come back."

Xu Shiba was very embarrassed because he had given him all the money for the wild boar and still got dozens of kilograms of offal.

"Well, Sister Xia Lian, I can't take this hundred. I still owe you two hundred and four. That was the life-saving money you lent me."

"Take it and we'll settle the score when we get back."

Linchang, a shop owned by a boss from Guangdong.

"This Xia Lian, how come you are so fast? Where did you dig it from?" Boss Chen has been looking at it with a magnifying glass for half an hour.

Liu Xialian was a little anxious and asked, "Old Chen, it's not good for you to eat turtles every day. Are your eyes blurry? Can't you identify it?"

Boss Chen coughed awkwardly twice. "I've seen a lot of vintage trees. I can tell at a glance that this small tree of yours is about thirty-five years old. I'll give you fifteen hundred, which is a fair price. There are two problems with this big tree that haven't been solved yet. I'm waiting."

“Which two problems are left unsolved?”

"I found the appraiser from Wanjia Town, but he hasn't arrived yet. Also, I arranged for someone to go get the money, but he hasn't come back yet. I don't know what's going on."

Let's wait, there's nothing urgent anyway. Liu Xia Lian sat in the house waiting, while Li Damei, Daya and Erya were waiting on the mule cart at the door.

It was almost eleven o'clock. An old man with a gray beard but a very strong body came in a jeep. He strode in, looked at Boss Chen, and laughed: "Little Chen, you won't let me be quiet. Where is the goods? Hurry up and take them out."

"Have some tea first. Thank you for your hard work. This is a wild ginseng that a big shot wanted. It's between 80 and 100 years old. I think it's fine, but I'm not sure, so I'm asking you to give it to me."

"Okay, hurry up, I get goosebumps just listening to you talking."

Boss Chen opened the wooden box covered with silk, and inside was a large ginseng of about 70 to 80 centimeters in length, with a very long reed head, a twisted body, and intact roots.

"Incredible, incredible, this is a rare and good product, more than eighty years old, probably between ninety and one hundred years old, it can be called a hundred-year-old ginseng."

Mr. Wan took out his seal, stamped it, and wrote a line of small words. The photographer of the photo studio also took several photos of the ginseng. This was a serious matter, so Mr. Chen was careful enough.
