Life in a quiet village in Xianshan

Gu Siwei was originally in a good mood and got a big wild boar, but when the raft went down the river, he had new ideas in his mind.

He felt that there was no need for him to settle down in the village. He had lived a very happy life in the wild these days. Even if it was salt, he could get it through exchange. He didn't believe that he could not exchange for a wild boar on his shoulders. Bag of salt.

Thinking like this, his original idea was a little shaken, and for a while he was not sure whether settling in the village was a good thing or a bad thing.

After thinking about it like this, time passed quickly. By the time Gu Siwei woke up, the raft was almost out of the mountain pass.

He took the half-dead and half-alive wild boar out of the space and put it on the raft. Suddenly the raft almost sank under the water.

Gu Siwei's fur was even wet.

"Miscalculation"

Gu Siwei looked at the hairy holes on his feet, sighed and said this.

"Brother Gu!"

Gu Siwei was thinking about his own nest when he suddenly heard someone calling him on the shore.

Looking in the direction of the sound, Gu Siwei discovered that at some point, Liu Dezhu jumped out of the wild reeds by the river and waved to him.

Gu Siwei was startled by him, and was worried that this boy had seen him moving pigs out of the space.

But after thinking about it, I felt that he must not be able to see it. The raft only came out of the mountain pass when I put the pigs away.

"Dezhu, why are you here?"

Gu Siwei is very strange.

Liu Dezhu still thinks that Gu Siwei is a spy, so he naturally wants to investigate. He is a stupid boy who has watched some things about Three-Legged Cat from the movie. He doesn't know anything about investigation. Anyway, he just does whatever he wants in his little head. , completely useless.

Seeing that Gu Siwei had been in the mountain for two or three days, he came here to wait. He had been waiting since morning. If Gu Siwei didn't come back yet, he would go back to the village for lunch.

"I came over to see if you're back," Liu Dezhu said with a naive smile.

Gu Siwei didn't take it seriously and continued to stand on the raft and follow the river to the village downstream, while Liu Dezhu ran with the raft.

"Wild boar, did you hunt such a big wild boar?"

Liu Dezhu's brain was not very bright, but his eyesight was very good. After running two steps, he saw a big wild boar on Gu Siwei's raft, and he immediately asked loudly.

"I didn't hit him, I picked it up." Gu Siwei smiled.

"How did you pick it up? Brother Gu is so lucky..."

Seeing a big wild boar, Liu Dezhu almost went crazy with joy. At this moment, he put the thought of Gu Siwei as a spy to the back of his mind. All he thought about was the big wild boar on the raft.

Due to Liu Dezhu's loud voice, as soon as Gu Siwei's raft entered the village, everyone ran out to see the big wild boar coming.

As the raft docked, the crowd surrounding the shore immediately let out a burst of exclamations.

"It's such a big wild boar, it weighs almost three hundred pounds."

"It's just a lot more, good guy, it's almost like a sperm at this size."

"It's amazing that such a young man can catch such a big wild boar."

…

The villagers all looked at the wild boar on the raft.

Gu Siwei glanced at the shore and found that Liu Fulin and Yang Chuanwu were not among the crowd on the shore, so he said to the people on the shore: "Please help us drag the wild boar ashore."

"okay!"

Upon hearing this, no one could refuse. Even a fool knew that such a big wild boar must have returned to the village, which meant that everyone would be happy soon.

The adults and their children, a dozen or so, not only dragged the wild boar to the shore, but also the persimmon basket on the raft and the raft itself.

"Still alive".

"not dead".

The wild boar that was dragged ashore may have regained some energy, or it may be the last reflection before death. Suddenly it snorted twice, making everyone exclaim in surprise.

At this time, Liu Fulin and Yang Chuanwu arrived belatedly with a few old men from the village.

Several people were having a meeting just now, and the content of the meeting was related to Gu Siwei.

Ever since Gu Siwei brought some chickens and persimmons back, Liu Fulin, Yang Chuanwu and others had a changed view of Gu Siwei.

It would definitely be impossible for a new person to be fed by the village, because the people in the village were starving to death, and there would be no food to feed the new person.

But now Gu Siwei has the ability to support himself, and judging by his methods, he can also support himself very well. Then this newcomer is very good.

For a village, if it wants to develop and grow, it must first have people. If you don't have one, it's nonsense. Especially this kind of village located deep in the mountains needs more people, especially those in the prime of life, preferably from outside.

The folks don't understand any big principles, but they still understand this simple truth. They may not necessarily explain it clearly, but they understand it.

After everyone's discussion, Liu Fulin took on a new task, which was to find out whether Gu Siwei wanted to settle in the village.

Not only was he attracted by Gu Siwei's ability to catch pheasants, but he also thought that with such a skilled laborer, he could always share some of the pressure on the village.

hiss!

When several people saw the big wild boar on the shore, they all subconsciously took a breath of cold air.

The huge wild boar suppressed the most talkative people in the village, let alone one person, even if they were together. If they didn't have a shotgun at hand, they would have only one way to see such a wild boar: run away.

The kind of run that can run as far as you can!

Liu Fulin looked at Gu Siwei in disbelief: "Did you kill this wild boar?"

Gu Siwei said quickly: "Where is it? I picked it up. Two wild boars were fighting and one fell off the cliff and I happened to pick it up...".

Gu Siwei felt that he was good at Yuan Pan.

But these words are just to deceive ordinary people. These old mountaineers in the village have all the years and experience, but they are just short of being perfect. How can they believe his words.

However, they don't want to argue with Gu Siwei. As a capable old mountaineer, he must have something hidden in his heart. If he doesn't want to tell you, you are not qualified to ask. Some things may be the experience gained by his ancestors with their lives. Why do you ask? People just tell you?

"I'm afraid it weighs about three hundred pounds." Guo Xiangping glanced at the wild boar, lifted the boar's leg with one hand, and estimated the weight.

This big wild boar can feed the whole village for half a month if it saves a little food.

One pound of meat per person is definitely not enough. Not to mention the current conditions, even when Zhuangzi had less than half of the population, there was no way to eat like this.

Usually, we start with pigs in the water. Every meal just needs the smell of meat in the pot. Who wants to eat pure meat and has the nerve to eat a big bowl of meat?

Of course, Gu Siweina can definitely eat it. People have this privilege for the pigs they brought. If anyone has any objections, you can catch them yourself.

"Dad Liu, my shoes are wet. Let's go back and make a fire. Captain Yang, take this pig back to the canteen. This will be my gift to everyone."

"this……".

Yang Chuanwu opened his mouth and said politely.

Gu Siwei said: "Don't be polite, just greet people."

"Zhuzi, take your brother Gu back...forget it, just go and get the new pair of woolen blankets from home. I'll put them on for you, brother Gu, and put the wet ones on the stove to dry later." Liu Fulin said to his grandson.

"I'd better go along."

Gu Siwei said something to Liu Fulin and followed Liu Dezhu to Liu's house.

After Yang Chuanwu watched Gu Siwei leave, he glanced at the big wild boar and smiled at everyone: "We still underestimated him."

"Don't say anything else. Let's get rid of the pigs first. We haven't seen wild boars in half a year. Let's have a good meal today."

Guo Xiangping said with a smile.

"Guo Xiangping, why are you still so greedy at such an old age?"

Seeing the big wild boar, everyone felt much better.

"Luan Dashou, do you dare to say that you are not greedy?" Guo Xiangping hit back at Luan Dashou, who was about the same age as him.

Yang Chuanwu said at this time: "Everyone, let's do it. Stop talking and clean up early. After dinner, we will cook the meat and marinate the rest."

"Where did you get the salt?"

"Go and buy some, otherwise we won't be able to keep the meat until spring begins."

"It's just this pig, how do you expect to eat it until spring?"

Nowadays, there are not many working men in the village, but there are quite a lot of children, big and small. Almost half of the village is children. Let’s put it this way, each household starts with at least three, four or five is common, six or seven is common. One is considered too many, even if there are a dozen children, there are still them in the village, but they are not in the sixth team, but in the first team.

In 1958, the great man carried out farmland and water conservancy construction in various places and said that more people are more powerful, so everyone worked hard to have children. Almost every family had several. If there are more children, how can there be more people?

"Okay, let's clean up first!"

When Yang Chuanwu heard everyone's mess, he yelled, so everyone happily went back and pushed the wheelbarrow. They lifted the wild boar that was still breathing into the wheelbarrow, and one strong man pushed it and the other helped it to the canteen.

There were a bunch of little kids on the road, shouting happily, making the adults’ heads hurt.

When they arrived at the canteen, everyone started to cook together. The vegetable porridge originally cooked in the big pot was directly served, and water was boiled to scald the pig.

Naturally, there are people who do the job of killing pigs. Although I haven’t eaten pigs for a long time, there are still many people who are skilled in killing pigs.

Fortunately, the pig was half dead and there was no struggle. Everyone tied the pig up, and the knife-hand held a military thorn and stabbed the main artery on the pig's neck.

After collecting the pig's blood, the next step is to scald the pig, shave almost all the hair on the pig's body, then cut open the pig's belly and take out the internal organs.

At this time, the work of the women comes, and the washing and washing things belong to them.

When Gu Siwei came to the canteen, he suddenly felt that the atmosphere in the canteen was different today. When eating in the past, everyone felt a little lifeless.

But today everyone seems to have something called vitality.

"Comrade Gu, is the maowozi baked?"

As soon as Gu Siwei entered the courtyard of the dining hall, someone immediately greeted him.

"Replaced with a new pair."

Gu Siwei was fighting with everyone.

Originally, everyone just nodded when they saw him, but today most people wanted to chat with him for a word or two. Although it was just nonsense, it was obviously very different from before.
