Chapter 019 The Third Uncle Returns Riding a Big Black Dog
Mrs. Shu had a better memory this time and deliberately avoided the paths taken by villagers when she returned home. When she got home, she immediately closed the courtyard door and found a place to place pheasants and eggs.
The family was quietly busy when a pot suddenly exploded outside, and shouts and screams came one after another.
"What are you talking about with all the noise outside? It's so lively."
Mrs. Shu was anxious to watch the fun, so she threw the pheasant with its legs tied into the kitchen, closed the door and ran out.
As soon as I went out, I saw people standing on the side of the village road.
Everyone stretched their necks, as if they were looking at something strange.
Yan Yan was also watching the excitement at the door, but her legs were too short and she couldn't see clearly while jumping.
Old Mrs. Shu picked her up smoothly and said with a smile: "Grandma holds her up high, you have to see clearly."
Yan Yan nodded wildly and rubbed her eyes in advance.
After seeing clearly what the villagers were talking about, Xiaotuanzi was so shocked that his mouth opened into an "O" shape.
"It's the third uncle!"
"Third uncle is back riding... on a big black dog!"
"Big black dog?"
Mrs. Shu was confused and looked in the direction of her finger. After reading it, she became even more confused.
That's not a big black dog, it's clearly a big wild boar!
So the third child didn’t run away in vain today and came back after hunting a wild boar?
But there seems to be something wrong with this style of painting.
A black-faced man riding a big wild boar running wildly in the wasteland at the foot of the mountain?
What kind of strange way of hunting is this?
At this time, Yan Yan recovered from the shock and hurriedly urged her grandmother: "Let's go help! Catch wild boars and eat pork!"
"Yes, yes, go help!"
Mrs. Shu put down Yan Yan, went into the house, took a big iron fork and rushed out.
At the foot of the mountain, Shu Mingli clung to the hair on the neck of the wild boar, vomiting and vomiting as the wild boar galloped and jumped.
He was vomiting all the way, and when Mrs. Shu came to him with a fork, he was about to vomit out his bile.
"Mom, hurry...save me, I can't survive!"
Shu Mingli's eyes were filled with tears, as if he had seen a savior.
Mrs. Shu was disgusted and said, "Lie down and let me try to stab it to death with a fork."
As soon as she finished speaking, the wild boar ran toward her in a menacing manner.
The surrounding villagers were so frightened that they almost flew out of their wits, "Aunt Fang, get away quickly!"
"It's over. Not only can Fang Guizhi not get the wild boar this time, but he may even lose his life..."
Before the word "go" was uttered, only a pop was heard. The wild boar hit the iron fork in Mrs. Shu's hand without any bias, and the sharp blade pierced her throat, and it fell straight down.
Shu Mingli fell off the back of the wild boar. While vomiting, he grabbed a stone on the ground and hit the wild boar on its head.
There was a sound of vomiting and a bang.
He kept hitting the wild boar until it completely died.
Shu Mingli also collapsed to the ground from exhaustion, grinning sillyly at Mrs. Shu, "Hey, mother, I caught a wild boar, hey, you can't stop me again in the future, hey..."
Old Mrs. Shu held a piece of pig blood and agreed with him with a smile: "I know, if you catch a wild boar, my mother will never stop you again."
Old man Shu, who came after hearing the news, saw this bloody scene, his legs softened and he knelt down, "Old woman, you... what's wrong with you?"
"You're a step late again." Mrs. Shu raised the iron fork, majestic like a general returning from victory, "I just used it to stab a wild boar to death!"
Old man Shu looked at the dead wild boar, then at his wife and son, his nose felt sore, "Old lady, I know you are brave and powerful, but we should take it easy on this kind of thing."
Otherwise his heart won’t be able to bear it!
"Hey, look at how timid you are."
Mr. Shu wiped off the blood stains on his face carelessly and directed several other people to come over and move the wild boar.
Shu Mingli rolled up his sleeves and said domineeringly: "It's just a wild boar. I can do it myself. There's no need to call others!"
After saying that, he grabbed the wild boar's front hooves with both hands and dragged it away easily.
Yan Yan, who was watching the whole process of killing the pig, never closed her mouth. When there were fewer people around, she ran up to Mrs. Shu and gave her a thumbs up, her eyes full of admiration.
"Grandma is so powerful. When Yan Yan grows up, she will be like her grandma, stabbing wild boars with a big fork!"
Old Mrs. Shu: "...silly girl, we don't want to start a school. Let's just make a lot of money honestly. That one is more promising."
Yan Yan didn't answer, but she made up her mind to become stronger and more powerful, so that she wouldn't be pushed to the ground by bad guys.
On the other side, a group of people blocked the door of Shu's house and refused to leave.
Old Man Tang, who had a good relationship with Old Man Shu, asked shamelessly: "Brother, this pig is so fat that your family can't finish it no matter how much it is. How many kilograms do you want to sell it to me?"
In years of famine, people don't have enough to eat, and they can't afford to feed the animals with large appetites. Therefore, after the New Year, the butchers in the villages of Shili and Ba are collectively unemployed.
All of you haven't eaten pork for more than half a year. I've seen the meaty meat. This time I caught up with Lao Shu's family and caught a wild boar. If I don't get two kilograms to taste it, I don't know how long it will take to eat it next time.
As soon as Old Man Tang opened his mouth, other people with ideas also followed suit.
"I didn't catch the wild boar. I can't make the decision."
Old man Shu couldn't make up his mind, so he turned and winked at his wife, "Old lady, do you want to sell it?"
Mrs. Shu nodded, "Sell!"
Although it's autumn now, the weather is still extremely hot, and the pork will go bad if it's not handled properly. Instead of just keeping a pile of smelly meat, it's better to sell it for some money.
"Boss, you go to the kitchen and boil a pot of hot water. Let's take off the pig hair first."
Mrs. Sun looked at the kitchen with the door closed, looking embarrassed.
As soon as the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other, Mrs. Shu understood.
There are also a group of pheasants in the kitchen!
I originally wanted to make a fortune silently, but what should I do this time?
When faced with a dilemma, the village chief came with sweat on his forehead, and without even taking a breath, he began to urge everyone to go to the town to buy food.
"Stop watching the excitement here and go home immediately to get some money to buy food. The price of food has gone up again. Yesterday it was 140 cents per dou, but today it has gone up to 160 cents!"
Because the news of the war in the north has not yet spread to Fugui Town, everything is still uncertain, and Old Shu does not dare to spread it everywhere.
After all, the stakes were so high that if anything went wrong, he couldn't bear the responsibility.
But if you don’t talk about your conscience, you can’t live with it.
So I secretly went to the village chief early in the morning and told him about the war.
The village chief was a cautious man, so he immediately hitched up a donkey cart and ran to the town to inquire about the news. When he asked, he found that the price of food had increased again!
So he quickly bought food and came back, urging everyone to stock up on food.
Everyone was panicked when they heard the news about soaring food prices. You can still live without eating pork, but you can't live without food!
In the blink of an eye, the people gathered in front of Shu's house disappeared.
Only Old Man Tang was left standing by the door and swallowing at the wild boar.
Old Man Shu raised his eyelids and glanced at him, "What, you still want to buy it?"
Old Man Tang shook his head and left with determination, "I won't buy it, just wait until next time."
After delivering the news, the village chief took a few breaths, looked at the wild boar on the ground, and then at the calm old man Shu, who was stroking his beard, and slowly gave a thumbs up.
"Brother Shu, your family has been very lucky these past two days."
