Except for the gift of a rabbit from the big wolf every day, the other traps yielded nothing.
There was a trap that once trapped a fawn that was under a full moon. Looking at the fawn's big watery eyes, Song Xixi felt too embarrassed to do anything to it, so she rescued it from the trap and released it.
It wasn't until the seventh day that Song Xixi came to the creek again to check whether there were prey in the three traps. Before he got close, he noticed a big noise coming from one of the traps.
Song Xixi was overjoyed. She first looked around vigilantly to make sure there were no wolves or tigers around, then she tightened her hoe and quickly approached the trap.
When I lowered my head and looked at it, I couldn't help but feel happy: It turned out to be a big wild boar!
She and the big wild boar are really close!
However, for the big wild boar, it is simply a bad fate!
Seeing Song Xixi, the big wild boar let out a shrill howl, but because it was so big, it was stuck in the trap and could not move. Only its head could swing freely.
The reason why it made such a big noise was because its head banged against the wall of the pit.
"Don't scream, I'll give you a quickie right away."
Song Xixi was afraid that the wild boar would break out of the trap and escape, so she raised her hoe and killed it neatly.
It's just that the big wild boar was stuck so hard that she tried her best but couldn't "pull it out".
Song Xixi had no choice but to raise the hoe again and dig the trap. Finally, she grabbed the two ears of the big wild boar and dragged it out of the pit alive.
"Huh~ This is too big!" Song Xixi wiped her sweat and looked at the big wild boar with sparkling eyes.
The two big wild boars sold to Zhao Mingliang last time were not as big as this one. Those two were sold for ten taels of silver, this one should be sold for five taels, right?
At this time, Song Xixi was keenly aware of the gaze from behind. She turned around and saw a big wolf not far away with a wild rabbit in its mouth.
"Morning!" Song Xixi waved her hand to say hello to the big wolf, looking behind it to search for the wolf cub.
The wolf cub is not here, so he must be with the wolf pack.
The big wolf tilted his head and looked at Song Xixi, and then at the big wild boar at her feet. The beast's eyes were shining with an unpredictable light.
Song Xixi didn't know what it was looking at, and pointed to the rabbit traps it had put in these days: "No need to give me any more prey, you can keep it for yourself."
The big wolf ignored her and walked over with the rabbit in its mouth, walking back and forth next to the trap, lowering its head to sniff from time to time, as if he was very curious about the trap.
Song Xixi didn't know what it was going to do. Seeing that it was getting late, she had to take the wild boar back quickly, so she picked up the big wild boar and said to the big wolf: "I'm leaving. Be careful and don't fall into the pit."
The big wolf looked at her again with an unpredictable look. If he hadn't known that this guy was a real wolf, Song Xixi would have almost thought he was a person in wolf's clothing.
Shaking her head and throwing away this ridiculous idea, Song Xixi picked up the hoe on the ground and walked briskly towards the cave.
"Oh my god, wild boar, Xi Yatou has caught a big wild boar!"
Song Xixi carried the big wild boar back to the cave, which immediately caused a sensation in the entire Song family'ao, with men, women, old and children all rushing over.
"Mom, this wild boar must weigh three to four hundred pounds, right?"
"I think so. Girl Xi is really strong. She can carry such a big pig easily."
"Tsk, tsk, no, no, no, it's really a blessing for our ancestors to have such a daughter in Uncle Wufu's family!"
"..."
The villagers were talking a lot, and several strong men rushed forward, ready to help Song Xixi unload the wild boar.
Song Xixi waved her hand, put down the hoe, freed her hand to hold the big wild boar's ears, and easily threw the big wild boar onto the big rock in front of the cave.
"My dear, are you not hurt?" Niu Hua'er pulled Song Xixi and looked her up and down. Seeing that she was doing well, he said angrily: "How dare you attack such a big wild boar? I've never seen anyone more ferocious than you!"
Song Xixi explained: "The wild boar fell into a trap and couldn't climb out. Once it got down with a hoe, it calmed down. It's not as dangerous as you think."
She was silently glad that she had not told her about rescuing the wolf cubs in front of the big wolf, otherwise her ears would have become calluses long ago.
Song Wufu and others gasped when they saw the big wild boar on the big rock. When they heard that it fell into a trap and was killed by Song Xixi with a hoe, their expressions improved.
Song Baotian asked: "Uncle Wufu, what are you going to do with this big wild boar?"
Song Wufu said without thinking: "Take it and sell it in the town. Our family has more than ten mouths to eat. What we lack most is money. How much can we exchange for it."
Song Baotian was extremely envious: "The price of wild boars is not as good as that of domestic pigs, but such a big one is worth a lot of money. Maybe I can make back the money you paid for the mud bricks, beams, and purlins."
A few days ago, before the money borrowed from the government was received, the village began to prepare for building a house.
In addition to the essential adobe bricks and mud, there are also beams, purlins and thatch used for the roof.
There are mature trees on the mountain, but they cannot be cut down for use.
Newly cut wood has high water content and is not suitable for making beams and purlins. It is too late to process it, so you can only spend money to buy ready-made wood from the lumber factory.
Thatch can be found everywhere. It can be cut and processed to be spread on the roof. The villagers can do this work themselves.
After careful calculation, adobe, mud and wood are the biggest expenses in building a house.
Fortunately, thirty or forty families in the village are building houses together, which is a big business for both the wood and adobe workshops.
After choosing two workshops with good reputations and bargaining, we finally settled on a low price, allowing each household to save a lot of money.
Now everything is ready, all that is left is money.
It just so happens that today everyone is going to Hongfeng Town to find the mayor to get the land deeds and money. After a while, we will have to set off after breakfast.
When other villagers heard Song Baotian's words, they were also envious: "Hey, with a capable girl like Xi Yatou, the whole family will enjoy the blessing~"
Fortunately, they had secretly laughed at Song San'er before, joking that he had a daughter for all his hard work and that he didn't know who he could rely on for his retirement.
Now their daughter is more powerful than all their sons put together!
If you look closely, raising sons is useless. In the future, you will have to work hard to save money for them to marry a wife. But it is much more miserable than Song Saner, who has already begun to enjoy the blessing of a daughter!
So, it doesn’t matter whether you are a boy or a girl, what matters is that you have a bright future!
Not to mention how deeply the villagers had a profound understanding of life inspired by a big wild boar, Song Wufu and others had mixed emotions.
Looking back on the journey of escaping from famine until now, thanks to Guobao, their family can stand here neatly without having to worry about money.
Guabao is so capable, making adults like them so incompetent.
They have to stand up quickly, and they can't just let Guobao work hard to support the family alone!
After eating thick wild vegetable porridge, the heads of each family walked towards the town under the leadership of the old village chief.
Song Xixi also went there this time, carrying a big wild boar.
This big wild boar was far larger than her small stature. She carried it without any pressure, shocking the eyes of countless passers-by along the way.
