Da Kui looked at the sky, it was almost noon. He thought, "It's time to go back, my mother is thinking about it". He got down from the tree, picked up the pole and ran in the direction he came from. There was no trace of the wild boar along the road, Da Kui ran as he ran.
While thinking, 'My flying stones have always been accurate, so why can the wild boar still see me after being hit by two stones? Did I miss the target?' With the mystery in his mind, Dakui returned to the place where he shot the wild boar.
The shadows of the trees were whirling, and the wind was blowing on the grass. Da Kui saw from a distance that the wild boar he had shot was still on the rock, and he felt relieved. Da Kui first carefully looked around and saw that there was indeed no shadow of other wild boars, and then he climbed up.
He went forward to check the eyes of the dead wild boar. The eyes of the dead wild boar were covered with blood and he must have been blind. Da Kui did not dare to delay, so he carried the wild boar on his shoulders by one of its hind legs, returned to the place where the dry firewood was placed, and put the wild boar and dry firewood together.
They were tied together tightly, picked up on a pole and carried on their shoulders as they walked home.
As soon as they entered the village, curious villagers gathered around and asked questions. "Silly man, where did this wild boar come from?"
Dakui said with a silly smile: "I did it, haha." "How did you do it by yourself?" Dakui raised his legs and walked away, saying as he walked: "Then I can't tell you." On the way home from Dakui, the whole village was stunned.
Everyone knows that Dakui shot a wild boar.
After entering his courtyard, he saw his mother standing at the door waiting. Dakui said: "Mom, I shot a wild boar today."
Da Kui's mother was shocked: "Son, how dare you poke that beast? It wasn't hurt, was it?"
Dakui put the firewood and the wild boar on his shoulders at the base of the wall, untied the bundle of firewood, picked up the wild boar, and carried it on his shoulders. Then he turned around and said, "Don't worry, mother, I'm not the fool I used to be now."
Then walked out the door.
Mother hurriedly asked: "Where are you going?"
Dakui said: "Go to the second uncle, he can kill animals. I asked him to help clean up."
Mother said: "Go after dinner. Mom will make porridge and baked cakes."
"Mom, please eat first, I'm not hungry."
Da Kui carried the wild boar out of the house and went all the way to the entrance of the village to find Butcher Zhang's house. After entering the courtyard gate, he saw Butcher Zhang and his family eating. Seeing that Da Kui actually brought a wild boar, Butcher Zhang almost slammed his rice bowl on the ground.
"Second uncle, I shot a wild boar. You can take care of it for me." Dakui said and put the wild boar in the courtyard.
Butcher Zhang put down his bowl and came out. He walked up to the wild boar and looked down at the wild boar and then at Dakui. He asked with disbelief, "You idiot, did you beat him?"
Dakui smiled innocently and said, "Well, I beat him to death with a pole."
Butcher Zhang gave a thumbs up and said: "Second uncle really didn't realize that you still have this ability." Then he turned around and shouted into the room: "My dear, it's time to boil the water." He stretched out his hand to pick up the pig.
He couldn't even carry it. The wild boar weighed at least two hundred kilograms. How could he carry it alone?
Dakui said hurriedly: "Second uncle, let me do it." Then he lifted the wild boar with one hand and asked: "Where to put it?"
Butcher Zhang pointed to the chopping board under the locust tree in the yard and said, "Put it on the table. No wonder you can hunt wild boars. You are so strong." Da Kui just smiled and walked over and put the pig on the chopping board.
Butcher Zhang took out a bag from under the chopping board. When he opened it, he found seven or eight kinds of knives, including razors, sharp knives, bone-chopping knives, etc. Next, Butcher Zhang tied the two hind hooves of the wild boar to a locust tree and waited for Aunt Zhang to bring hot water.
The couple started shaving, opening the belly, cutting the meat, and deboning. Dakui was doing it on the side.
While he was busy, a man came in from the door. He was wearing a small coat with a slanted front and a small melon-skin hat. He had pointed ears, cheeks, nose, small eyes, and two mustaches on his lips. Dakui turned around and saw that he was from the village.
Zhang Langzhong was also a member of Dakui's family.
As soon as Zhang Langzhong entered the door, he said: "What are you busy with? I'm here to talk to nephew Da Kui about something."
When Dakui saw him, he said hurriedly: "It's the third uncle, what do you want from me?"
Zhang Langzhong said: "My eldest nephew, I heard that you killed a wild boar. Can you give me the pig's gallbladder?"
Dakui said: "Then I have to go back and ask my mother whether this pig was shot for my mother."
Zhang Langzhong chuckled and said, "My eldest nephew can't do all these little things?" Da Kui was a little reluctant to give up.
Because when I was in Tiantai Mountain, I heard from my second senior brother that wild boar gallbladder can be used as medicine, but I had forgotten what its effects were.
Zhang Langzhong said: "Then I'll go talk to your mother."
Dakui said straightforwardly: "If my mother agrees, I will give you the pig gallbladder." Zhang Langzhong said nothing more, turned around and left.
Butcher Zhang and his wife just worked and didn't talk to each other. When everything was tidied up, Butcher Zhang said to Dakui: "You idiots, this is the end of the work."
Dakui asked happily: "Second uncle, how much do you usually kill animals? I'll give it to you." Although they are from the same village and from the same family, the second uncle relies on his craftsmanship to make a living, so Dakui said this.
Butcher Zhang was not polite and said bluntly: "Just thirty coins."
Da Kui paid the money and borrowed a large wooden basin from butcher Zhang's house to put the pork bones and pork in. Da Kui carried the bucket on his arm and returned home carrying the large wooden basin.
As soon as he entered the yard, he saw his mother cleaning up several pickle jars. Dakui put the things aside and asked, "Mom, has Doctor Zhang from the village been here?"
His mother said, "Here we are, I want to buy pig gallbladder. My mother said she would ask you when you come back, so she went back." Dakui didn't pay attention.
Mother added: "My neighbors have taken good care of us over the years. Today I invite all the neighbors to come to our home."
Dakui responded and started to light a fire to boil water and cook meat. Before it got dark, Dakui invited six or seven neighbors. Mr. Ge even brought some good wine that he had hidden for several years, and everyone set it up in the yard.
We sat around the table, drinking wine and eating meat happily, talking and laughing loudly together.
During the dinner, when we talked about pig gallbladder, Mr. Ge said: "What a good thing. There is a drugstore in the city that spent more than ten taels of silver to buy a wild boar gallbladder. I heard that it is very effective in removing heat and detoxification."
"
Da Kui's mother said: "Oh, doctor Zhang from the village came here and said he wanted to buy this pig gallbladder..."
It really means that Cao Cao Cao Cao is here. After he finished speaking, Zhang Langzhong walked into the courtyard with one step and three steps: "Oh, it's really lively." Because Zhang Langzhong's son is a captain in the Jeju City Defense Army and Horse Division, Zhang Langzhong
Relying on his son's power, the doctor often bullied the villagers in the village.
Da Kui's mother said out of sympathy from her fellow villagers: "His third uncle, have you eaten? You came just in time. Silly boy has just cooked some meat. Let's eat some together."
Zhang Langzhong was not polite, walked to the table, found a seat and sat down, saying: "I came here about the pig gallbladder issue, what do you think of nephew Dakui?" He picked up a pair of chopsticks and put a piece in the bowl on the table.
Put the pork in your mouth and chew it.
Dakui asked: "Uncle San insists on buying it, but I wonder how much he is willing to pay?"
Zhang Langzhong said vaguely: "Five taels of silver is a lot."
Da Kui was speechless. Seeing that Da Kui was silent, Zhang Langzhong asked Da Kui's mother: "Sister-in-law, please say something."
Da Kui's mother said: "When the child is older, it is up to him to make his own decisions."
Dakui said: "I heard that collecting pig gallbladder in the city costs more than ten taels of silver. The money given by the third uncle was a little less."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Langzhong put down his chopsticks. After swallowing the pork in his mouth, he said: "Don't listen to people's nonsense. How can a pig's gall be worth ten taels?" After a pause, he added: "Let's see, considering that we have been in the same village for many years
For your friendship, I will add another five hundred coins."
Dakui just shook his head. Seeing that Dakui still refused to agree, Zhang Langzhong gritted his teeth and said, "I'll add another tael of silver."
Dakui simply said bluntly: "I won't sell it if it's less than ten liang."
Zhang Langzhong was furious when he heard this. He stood up suddenly and said: "If you don't eat the toast, you will have to drink the wine as a penalty. In that case, you can keep the pig gall for yourself." After saying this, he walked away.
