Traveling through mountains and rivers

It can be said that this year has been quite smooth. By the end of September, the seedlings in the fields have grown a lot, and it won't be long before they will be able to produce rice.

And Ning Ze's house was also built, and he and Tao Qing were preparing to move to celebrate the new house, which was a custom in the village.

After the new house is built, it is always necessary to treat guests to eat and warm the house, and they are no exception.

However, it is also important to invite people. It depends on whether you are inviting people with good relationships or the whole village. The biggest difference between them is the amount of money.

With so many people in the village, they don't know how many tables to set up for a meal, so the money is naturally not a small amount.

But only invite people who are close to each other, so it will appear a little stingy, and those who are not invited will be more or less embarrassed when they meet in the future.

Ning Ze and Tao Qing thought about it, and it would be better to invite all the people in the village. Although it would cost more money, it wouldn't prevent them from being remembered and unwilling to help them when they did things in the future. They, this is not good.

If you invite people from a village to eat, you don't need to buy rice and vegetables. The villagers will send some when they come to eat, and the main thing is to sell meat.

With so many people, no matter what the meat is, one pig is enough. Of course, one pig may not be enough.

Ning Ze told Tao Deshu to ask him to buy a pig in the village and kill it. He went to the river to catch some fish, and then went to the mountain with Tao Qing to see how many pheasants he could catch. Just go buy it.

Since they all said that they want to invite the whole village to eat, then naturally they can't make a bad banquet, otherwise they will also be laughed at.

People in the village can memorize what kind of food and taste the feast of which family has for a long time, and they can compare it when they eat another family next time. A little thought.

Ning Ze didn't understand these things, he had never done or eaten, so he could only go up the mountain and down the river to find food, like other arrangements of tables, chairs, benches, chefs, and helpers, all these things were done by Tao Deshu and Tao An is busy.

Tao An and Tao Ping were in charge of sending letters to the people in the village, telling them when to come for dinner.

And the husbands in the family are responsible for picking vegetables in the fields, and discussing what to cook by the way.

Ning Ze didn't know about this, he took Tao Qing directly up the mountain to hunt pheasants, he went to the town to buy a bow, and then got some arrows himself, just to go up the mountain to hunt.

He originally wanted to go alone, but Tao Qing was worried, so he left his family affairs behind and went up the mountain with him. The two of them planned to go further inside this time. Yes, Ning Ze thinks that if this is the case, their banquet must be the best. After all, not everyone can use wild boar as a banquet.

Of course, the premise is that they can meet each other. Ning Ze can move his hands now, and every morning when he wakes up, he will secretly practice his boxing skills, so he is still confident in killing a wild boar.

What's more, they also brought a machete, even if they cut it, they could kill the wild boar.

But they were not so lucky, even when they got inside, they didn't see any traces of big animals, pheasants and rabbits were everywhere, Ning Ze relentlessly drew his bow and arrows and shot accurately, Tao Qing was responsible for following Ning Ze The arrows ran away, and they were picked up one by one. It didn't take long for the two baskets to be filled.

However, the surrounding pheasants were also scared away by them, and the two had to move to another place to continue.

Tao Qing was very curious about Ning Ze's sudden ability to shoot arrows, and asked him, "Ah Ze, how did you know how to shoot arrows? Are you still shooting so accurately?"

Ning Ze explained, "This is probably a man's natural wildness. I didn't know how to do it at first. I practiced it quietly for a long time. Didn't you see that I haven't pulled this bow in front of you after I bought it? I'm just afraid I can't shoot myself, sorry."

Tao Qing thought about it, and it was indeed the case. At the beginning, when Ning Ze said that he was going to buy a bow, his family disagreed, thinking that he was wasting money, but Ning Ze insisted, saying that he would buy it and practice it. He might be able to hunt in the future, and he even went to a few hunters in the village for advice.

It's just that although he did this, he really never drew a bow in front of the family, but occasionally ran out quietly with the bow. Ning Ze didn't say anything, and the family didn't know where he went.

It's just that there was nothing to do, and they all felt that Ning Ze had his own measure, so no one asked.

After Ning Ze's explanation, Tao Qing knew that he actually said that he went out to practice archery secretly, but Tao Qing still felt that Ning Ze's archery was very accurate.

Ning Ze stopped talking and didn't say much, leaving Tao Qing to imagine.

Ning Ze took Tao Qing and continued to walk forward. After harvesting again, they found that these little things inside gradually decreased.

This shows two problems. One is that there may be large wild animals nearby, and the other is that there are few pheasants and hares that are active here.

But Ning Ze prefers the first one, because there are marks on the ground that have been arched by pigs.

Pigs like to dig mud, especially wild boars. There are quite a few places on the ground that are bumped, and there are potholes everywhere. Obviously, wild boars are very active in this area.

And it may not only be wild boars, but also other big things. After all, wild boars don't eat chicken.

Ning Ze turned his head and said to Tao Qing, "Let's be careful, there might be something big here, if it touches you later, you will climb the tree, you know?"

Tao Qing originally wanted to say that he could help, but he was afraid that Ning Ze would not agree, so he nodded, "I know, I will be careful, Aze, don't be brave, if you fight, we will wait Let’s all go up the tree.”

Ning Ze said, "Okay, don't worry, I know how to measure."

The two of them were indeed a lot more careful when walking behind, and kept paying attention to the movement around them.

While the two were being cautious, a pheasant that flew out of nowhere flew in front of them. Before Ning Ze could make a move, he heard hurried footsteps from behind, stepping on the dried leaves, rustling , ran fast and anxious.

Ning Ze immediately turned his head and said to Tao Qing, "Climb the tree!"

Tao Qing didn't think much about it, he found a thicker tree, hugged the trunk and climbed up.

Ning Ze didn't even stand there, he found another tree and climbed it.

Only halfway through the climb, the sound of footsteps had already arrived in front of them. Ning Ze and Tao Qing saw that there were actually four wild boars, the two big ones should be a male and one female, and there were two smaller ones.

But what is very childlike is that the two little wild boars were chasing the pheasant just now, and they would jump up and pounce on them when they ran. But the two little wild boars attacked back and forth, and they didn't let the pheasant fly away.

This looks really good, if you don't consider their current situation, and to be honest, Ning Ze is very attracted to these wild boars. Among other things, they can eat this pork for a long time.

Ning Ze climbed up the tree trunk and sat in the middle of a tree fork to make it easier for him to move.

He called Tao Qing, "Ah Qing, I want to kill these wild boars and take them back. It might be a little dangerous later, so stay still on the tree. The wild boars will hit the tree. Remember to hold on to the branches. You must never fall, you know?"

Tao Qing looked at Ning Ze worriedly, "Ah Ze, these are four wild boars, it's better to get rid of them, it's too dangerous."

Ning Ze shook his head at him, "Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion. Besides, the two small ones are not a threat. As long as I get rid of the two big ones first, you don't have to worry about it. Just take care of yourself."

"But..." Tao Qing wanted to say something, but Ning Ze gestured to him. They were talking just now, and the wild boar had already spotted them, and now he looked up at them.

Huge reminders, black eyes, long fangs, just looking at them like this is indeed a bit scary, and the two little pigs that were jumping on the pheasant did not move, and looked at them like the two big ones.

The atmosphere suddenly became quiet and turned into a stalemate.

If they didn't take the initiative to attack, the wild boar would not necessarily attack them, but the wild boar would definitely not just leave, but would stand guard here, and they couldn't wait for such a long time.

So Ning Ze decided to act first.

Ning Ze held the bow and arrow in his hand, then carefully broke a branch and threw it on the heads of the two little wild boars.

The two small ones were taken aback and started running around. The big one was eager to protect the cubs, and quickly blocked the two small ones behind him. Taking advantage of this moment, Ning Ze pulled away the arrows that had been set up in his hand and shot down. , aimed at the eye of one of the wild boars, and the arrow was firmly inserted into the eyes of the wild boar.

But it wasn't over yet, Ning Ze threw down the arrow, took out the scimitar behind him, jumped off the tree, and aimed at the wild boar whose eyes he had shot.

Ning Ze used a lot of strength, and the machete cut deeply into the wild boar's neck, and blood gushed out immediately.

The smell of blood stimulated the wild boar even more, the one that was chopped off could hardly survive, and death was only a matter of time.The other end has already rushed towards Ning Ze in his thoughts.

Ning Ze lay sideways on the ground. When the wild boar rushed over, he raised the scimitar. The wild boar rushed over his head, and the scimitar pierced into his stomach.

The belly is the softest part of a wild boar, so it's impossible to be stabbed like this.

It's just that although he suffered such a serious injury, the wild boar is not dead, neither of the two ends, and there are two small ones behind him. Although the threat is not great, it cannot be guaranteed that they will not attack him, so Ningze's situation is really not very good good.

Tao Qing watched anxiously from the tree, afraid that something might happen to Ning Ze.

When the four wild boars besieged Ningze together, he finally couldn't bear it any longer, and went down the tree with a basket on his back. He also had a machete on his back. Tao Qing didn't care about what to fear, so he chopped down one of them. .

Although it didn't cut to the point, it also attracted the wild boar's attention and made Ning Ze feel more relaxed.

And Ning Ze didn't bother to complain about Tao Qing's disobedience, he wanted a quick fight, so he simply lay flat on the ground and attacked the wild boar's stomach.

Where the stomach is so fragile, no matter how powerful the wild boar is, they cannot survive the disembowelment. Ning Ze killed two big wild boars.

The little one was also scared after seeing the big one died, and wanted to run away, but Ning Ze couldn't let them run away because they were all like this. He took Tao Qing's scimitar, one in each of his left and right hands, and pointed at the two wild boars. Flew out, got it right!

Then Ning Ze quickly stepped forward and retrieved one of them, held it in his hand, and gave the two little wild boars a fatal blow again, killing them all.

The four wild boars died, and Ning Ze was not much better. His body was covered in blood, and he was pushed by a wild boar, and his chest hurt badly.

But even so, Ning Ze just took a breath and stood up.

He said to Tao Qing, "Ah Qing, the smell of blood is too strong here, it is not suitable to stay for a long time, let's move the wild boar out first."

Knowing that what Ning Ze said was the truth, Tao Qing nodded and moved with him.

After all, Tao Qing was a brother, and he was not strong enough, so Ning Ze asked him to drag the younger ones, while he took care of the older ones at both ends.

The two quickly ran back and forth twice before dragging the wild boar to the mountain pass.

At this time, the two of them were completely exhausted and paralyzed. The big wild boar weighed at least four hundred catties, and the small one weighed a hundred catties, so it took a lot of strength to pull it out.

After the two rested at the mountain pass for a while, Ning Ze asked Tao Qing to go down the mountain to ask someone to carry the wild boar, and he stayed here to guard.

Fortunately, their house was not far up the mountain, and now Tao Qing's people were all in their new house, so Tao Qing called Tao An and the others in just a moment.

Looking at the four wild boars and Ning Ze covered in blood, Tao An and the others opened their mouths and didn't know what to say.

In the end, Ning Ze reminded them aloud, and several people worked together to carry the wild boar back.

And this one became the gossip of the villagers in Xianning Village after dinner.
