Siheyuan: Fishing for All Things

In the 1960s, there was no concept of animal protection. Wild boars, tigers, and leopards were killed as soon as they were caught. Wild boars, in particular, have become a pest in many places. They have thick skin and flesh, strong survival ability, and can reproduce.

It is very common to have seven or eight or even more than ten in a litter, so many villages will regularly hunt them. Even in places with many mountains, several villages will jointly hunt them, just to prevent them from coming down to harm crops.

Qinjia Village and Wangjia Village and several surrounding villages went into the mountains to hunt wild boars together. Of course, if they encountered other animals, they would rather kill them by mistake than let them go.

"Little doctor, you are here too."

Wang Yousheng, the secretary of Wangjia Village, took the lead in greeting Lin Shaowen. Seeing this, several other village secretaries also gathered around.

"Aren't you here to join in the fun?"

Lin Shaowen jumped off the donkey, carrying a hunting rifle.

"Why are you riding a donkey?" Zhang Quan laughed.

"These days, it's good to have a donkey to ride. I want to get a horse, but I can't get one." Lin Shaowen took out a cigarette and walked around.

"Get a horse? Find Zhao Erlangzi." Wang Yousheng said happily, "There are people who raise horses in their village brigade, more than ten horses."

"They raise horses?" Lin Shaowen was stunned, "No, why do they raise horses? I heard that they eat a lot and are expensive, and horse manure is particularly difficult to deal with..."

This is the knowledge that Qin Kan and he popularized.

In fact, for rural areas, horses are not a particularly good thing.

Although men like to gallop on horses, raising horses requires a large grassland and needs to be carefully taken care of. But its effectiveness is actually not as good as that of donkeys. Horses are fierce and run fast. If they are not managed well, they may trample on crops.

More importantly, the meat of this thing is not delicious.

I have only heard of people secretly replacing donkey meat with horse meat, but I have never heard of anyone using donkey meat instead of horse meat.

"Zhao Er raises horses for pulling carts." Zhang Quan came over and smiled, "He has been preparing for this horse team for a long time. He plans to collect things from the surrounding villages and then take them to the supply and marketing cooperatives to exchange for supplies... But you also know that it is so difficult now, how many things can everyone exchange."

It is still a difficult period now. Not to mention the countryside, it is rare to have a meat meal in the city.

"That's right."

Lin Shaowen nodded with a smile, but he was quite tempted in his heart. It would be nice if he could buy a horse to ride.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense. Everyone, keep an eye on the people in your village and prepare to go into the mountains."

Qin Kan shouted.

Although Qinjia Village is poor, Qin Kan is the elder brother of all the village party secretaries.

"Go into the mountains."

The village party secretaries shouted with high spirits, and hundreds of people were divided into more than ten teams and slowly walked towards the mountains.

There are many mountains in Changping, such as Mangshan, Yinshan... They are connected into a group of mountains, stretching for thousands of miles. It is even said that there are many tigers, leopards and other beasts in the mountains. In the old society, tigers would even come down the mountain to eat farmers' livestock when they were extremely hungry.

"Shao Wen, be careful."

Qin Jianghe and Qin Ergou and a group of young people from Qinjia Village guarded Lin Shaowen.

The village branch has issued a death order. The success of the hunting is important, but the safety of Lin Shaowen is more important. If anything happens to him, the young people who participated in the hunting will be sprayed to death by the old people in the village.

"Don't worry."

Lin Shaowen waved his hand and took a step back.

He is very self-aware and doesn't want to cause trouble for everyone.

The commotion caused by hundreds of people entering the mountain made many animals in the mountain uneasy.

"Bao Ba..."

A shout sounded, which made Lin Shaowen stunned.

"It's a wild boar, hurry up."

Qin Jianghe rushed forward, and the others followed closely.

To be honest, except at the dinner table, this was the first time Lin Shaowen saw a wild boar.

He originally thought that wild boars and domestic pigs were similar, and they were still pigs in the end. But after seeing a living wild boar today, he found that he was wrong.

This wild boar is half a person tall, and the two fangs on the side of its mouth are probably dozens of centimeters long. At this time, it is standing still, but "huffing and puffing" to express its uneasiness.

Many people gathered around and did not shoot rashly.

It's not to save bullets, but if the double-barreled shotgun is not aimed at close range, even experienced hunters can easily miss the bullet.

"My goodness, how can this be two or three hundred kilograms?" Someone shouted.

"More than that, at least more than four hundred kilograms." Qin Jianghe continued.

"Accountant, how about it? Should we go?"

Everyone was eager to try.

Qin Jianghe was the village clerk, but everyone was used to calling him "Accountant". Actually, you can call him Director, but few people call him that.

"Wait a minute, wait for everyone..."

Bang!

Before Qin Jianghe finished speaking, a gunshot rang out.

Everyone subconsciously shrank their necks.

"Ouch..."

The wild boar roared in pain and was about to charge.

Bang!

Another gunshot.

Everyone was talking and didn't see the first shot clearly. But everyone saw this shot very clearly, hitting the forehead.

"Ouch..."

The wild boar screamed in grief, staggered for two steps, and fell to the ground with a bang, splashing a cloud of mud.

"What a good shooting skill, who shot it?" Wang Yousheng exclaimed.

Qin Jianghe and other young men from Qinjia Village immediately turned their heads, and Lin Shaowen, who was loading bullets, grinned.

"Good guy, young doctor, you are both civil and military." Wang Yousheng praised.

"This gun is too weak, it took two shots to kill it. "Lin Shaowen was a little embarrassed.

"A double-barreled shotgun is OK for shooting small things, but it's not very powerful." Wang Yousheng thought for a moment, waved his hand behind him, and a young man behind him immediately ran over and handed over a Type 56 automatic rifle.

After he took it, he handed it to Lin Shaowen, "Come, play with this."

"Wow, Secretary Wang is willing to take out his heirloom?" Qin Jianghe joked.

The villages in the surrounding area all know that this brand new Type 56 is Wang Yousheng's treasure. Not to mention using it, Wang Yousheng's heart trembles just by touching it.

I remember that a few years ago, his eldest son secretly took the Type 56 into the mountains, and when he came back, there was almost a bloodbath.

"What are you talking about? If you have the accuracy of the little doctor, I will lend it to you." Wang Yousheng laughed and scolded.

"This is not good. "

Lin Shaowen was envious, but he was really embarrassed.

"Take it, and you're still being polite to me?"

Wang Yousheng pretended to be unhappy, stuffed the gun to Lin Shaowen, and stuffed a bunch of bullets into his bag.

"Then I'll return it to you after the hunt is over."

Lin Shaowen handed the double-barreled shotgun to Qin Jianghe, stroked the gun body, and with a "click", the bullet was loaded.

Wang Yousheng looked a little dazed, as if he had returned to that glorious time.

If Lin Shaowen put on a military uniform, it would be even more amazing.

"Dad, do you think the young doctor looks like your uncle?" Wang Yousheng's son Wang Kang came over.

"Your uncle is a short-lived ghost. He didn't leave any offspring, but this gun. What kind of status does the young doctor have? Can he compare with him?"

Wang Yousheng cursed, but his eyes were red.
