Chapter 131 Hunting in Wangjia Village Again
Chapter 131 Hunting in Wangjia Village Again
In the blink of an eye, the weekend has arrived again.
The sunlight shines through the gap in the curtains and falls on Li Kailang who is lying on the bed.
It was already noon, and Li Kailang was still lying in bed, not waking up.
After get off work yesterday, Li Kailang plunged into the planting space and was busy for three or four hours.
Using the 3 pounds of pork given by Wen Peixin and the remaining large fish, they made braised pork and fish, and once again prepared a large amount of food.
However, there are not many meat dishes this time, mainly vegetarian dishes, with a bunch of staple foods.
At this point, Li Kailang returned to his previous state, the state where he lacked oil, salt, sauce and vinegar and needed to replenish everything.
"It's a rare weekend, so I won't go to the supply and marketing cooperative. After I finish cooking these meals, they will be enough for more than half a month. If I still need something, it won't be too late to buy it later."
Li Kailang was a little tired of going to the supply and marketing cooperative to replenish supplies every time he had a holiday.
"I need to plan the planting space well in the future and strive to be self-sufficient." Li Kailang secretly made up his mind.
Thinking of this, Li Kailang got out of bed, packed up, and rode his bike out.
Today, Li Kailang plans to go to Wangjia Village.
During this period, Li Kailang also traded with them as agreed, but of course not in public.
Li Kailang gave money and they gave supplies. It was a mutually beneficial relationship and everyone understood it tacitly.
After all, no one can resist money, especially in a place like Wangjia Village where there are no buyers.
We had agreed with them before that if the steel mill needed pork, we could buy it from them.
Originally, Li Kailang wanted to wait until the pigs were mature, then talk to Li Huaide and snatch some pigs.
However, looking at Li Huaide's expression, it was obvious that he did not trust him, so Li Kailang naturally did not plan to talk to Li Huaide.
"What a pity. We were originally promised a submachine gun, but now I don't know if it counts."
In addition, whether the rooms in the two tube-shaped buildings will be taken away depends entirely on Li Huaide’s decision.
Fortunately, Li Kailang didn't think much of these houses, so it made no difference to him whether he accepted them or not.
As for the money, Li Kailang took it but had no habit of spitting it out.
Besides, this is also a reward for him. After all, he has done practical work and made contributions.
"This road is such a torture!" Li Kailang complained while riding his bicycle.
The bumpy road forced him to stop frequently to rest and relieve the pain in his butt.
"I didn't feel this bumpy when I was driving, so why is it so painful when I'm riding a bike?"
Li Kailang sighed and continued riding his bike to Wangjia Village. It was a journey of more than 30 kilometers, so he had to ride faster!
At noon, Li Kailang finally arrived at Wangjia Village.
"We're finally here!" Li Kailang exclaimed, and then rode his bike into the village.
When the villagers of Wangjia Village saw someone riding a bicycle into the village, they all thought it was a buyer.
"The buyers are here, the buyers are here!" The villagers ran around to tell each other.
After a while, all the villagers came to the center of the village.
"Master Li, why is it you?" a villager asked in confusion.
"Why, I can't come?" Li Kailang asked back.
"No, no, didn't Master Li just come here a few days ago? Why is he here again today?" the villager apologized.
Li Kailang is their God of Wealth and must not be offended.
"I came here because I have something to do with Village Chief Wang. I don't know where he is?" Li Kailang explained.
"He is at home, Master Li can just go find him!" said the villager.
"Okay, I'll go, and you don't have to follow me." Li Kailang replied.
The villagers dispersed and returned to their homes.
Li Kailang had been here several times, so he was very familiar with the location of Village Chief Wang's house and found the place easily.
At this time, Village Chief Wang was sitting at the table preparing to eat. He was a little surprised to see Li Kailang coming.
"Village Chief Wang, did I disturb you?" Li Kailang asked politely without entering the door.
"Master Li, why are you here?" Village Chief Wang responded, also looking a little surprised.
After a brief greeting, Village Chief Wang invited Li Kailang in, and Li Kailang then explained his purpose.
"Village Chief Wang, I wonder what the village plans to do with the last black pig?"
"What's the matter? Master Li wants that pig?" asked Village Chief Wang.
Li Kailang nodded.
Originally there were three big black pigs. One was sold to Li Kailang, and the villagers ate one a few days ago, leaving this last one.
Village Chief Wang thought for a moment and said, "The village has no plans for the pigs yet. If Master Li wants them, he can take them away."
Hearing this, Li Kailang's eyebrows brightened, "I wonder if it will have an impact on the village chief?"
Village Chief Wang explained: "Don't worry, the village just distributed pork a few days ago, and there is still some to eat. Besides, there are still dozens of piglets in the pigpen! But..."
"Village Chief Wang, do you have any concerns?"
"It's nothing. I wonder if the factory has any ideas about our piglets?" asked Village Chief Wang.
Although he had told Li Kailang about it at the beginning, he was also worried about changing his mind.
This last pig is used to clear the way for Li Kailang to say some good words on it.
After all, raising dozens of piglets would be very expensive. Village chief Wang didn't believe that the purchasing station could accommodate so many pigs.
"Don't worry about this! I won't go back on my word." Li Kailang promised.
Then he looked around and asked cautiously, "Village Chief Wang, do you want the factory or an individual to take it?"
He originally wanted to sell the pigs to a steel mill, but now the situation has changed.
It will soon be time for the next sign-in, and by then, after the system has been upgraded, he will be able to raise livestock.
Instead of killing and selling them, it is better to raise them yourself so that you will never lack meat in the future.
Village Chief Wang also whispered, "Give it to whoever has more money. Master Li, you also know the situation of our village. We are really too poor."
“Besides, the surrounding villages are all raising pigs on a large scale, so it doesn’t matter if I have more or less here,” he added.
The incident of selling the basket to Li Kailang, the woman who wove baskets, was still on Village Chief Wang’s mind.
The two smiled at each other, and both understood what the other meant.
"Okay, since Village Chief Wang has chosen more money, I can take it, but I can't take it all."
"Don't worry about that. Our village will also report to the purchasing station. When the time comes, our village will keep some of the remaining goods, and the rest will be given to you."
"Okay!" Li Kailang replied.
According to past experience, the purchase must be done there, and the village must leave some for the pigs, so at most a dozen pigs can be given.
After the two men had reached an agreement, they were in a good mood. Li Kailang planned to raise these pigs so that they would never lack meat in the future.
"By the way, Master Li hasn't eaten yet, right? How about having a meal at my place?" Village Chief Wang invited enthusiastically.
"No, I brought some dry food and plan to go into the mountains to see if I can bring back some prey." Li Kailang politely declined.
"Master Li, there's no need to rush. Why don't you stay and eat?" Village Chief Wang persuaded him.
"Village Chief Wang, it's not easy for me to come here. I have to finish hunting as soon as possible and return home." Li Kailang explained, "It's 60 kilometers round trip!"
After the two of them shirked their responsibilities, Village Chief Wang no longer insisted on keeping them.
"Okay, Master Li, you go. By the way, do you want to find some people to go with you?" Village Chief Wang was worried about Li Kailang's safety.
"Don't worry, I know what to do. I'll take care of my own safety. Village Chief Wang, don't worry about it. If I'm not back before dark, please go up the mountain to find me."
"Okay!" Village Chief Wang nodded.
"Okay, I won't delay Village Chief Wang. I'll go first."
After saying that, Li Kailang left and headed towards the mountains in the distance.
As mentioned before, Wangjia Village is also located close to the mountain, similar to the previous Gujia Village.
Li Kailang walked towards the mountain with full confidence, while listening to his surroundings to avoid being followed quietly.
After entering the mountain, Li Kailang hid himself. He looked behind him and saw that no one was following him, so he felt relieved.
In June, the sows had given birth to their piglets and the wild boars began to eat grass.
Even if they leave the group, these little wild boars can survive on their own, but it is a little dangerous.
This year is also the year with the most wild boars. It is the harvest season and wild boars are beginning to proliferate.
Especially in places where people don't eat pork, there are more wild boars.
There won’t be so many pigs in the next five years. It’s better to save yourself a lot than to let them starve to death.
Li Kailang took out the Mauser M1932 submachine gun from the ring and looked at it. He couldn't help but sigh:
"It's been so long since you signed in, but you've never fired it. I'm sorry for you."
I never found the opportunity to shoot before, always delayed by something or because there were outsiders around. Now I finally have time.
With a gun in hand, Li Kailang instantly became much braver. From being cautious at first, he became gradually bolder.
With the experience of hunting with Gu Shengli, Li Kailang was familiar with the route.
Following the mountain path, Li Kailang glanced around sharply and suddenly saw a lot of animal footprints in front of him.
When I got closer, I found that the footprints were large and small, messily intertwined, and a little wet. They were obviously left by a group of animals.
"These footprints should be from wild boars, there are so many of them." Li Kailang found something unusual, "Several footprints here look a bit like cats, but fortunately these footprints are not big."
Cat footprints are rare in the mountains of Sijiu City. Li Kailang couldn't tell what species it was at first, but he became more careful.
I followed the footprints for a while.
"Susu-"
Suddenly, he heard the sound of something scratching in the grass not far away, which instantly aroused his alertness.
Li Kailang immediately lowered his body and carefully observed the movements around him.
Through the gaps in the grass, Li Kailang saw more than a dozen wild boars coming out of the grass. These wild boars were of different sizes and were obviously a family.
They arched their way up the soft soil on the ground and climbed up the hillside, looking very organized.
"Oh my god, I'm going to make a fortune! If we kill all these wild boars, we will have enough meat for three to five months."
Li Kailang was filled with joy and his hands moved quickly to load the Mauser pistol.
"Click!" The pistol was loaded.
At the same time he took out a Colt pistol, also loaded.
Looking at the wild boars slowly crawling up the hillside, Li Kailang decisively pulled the trigger of the Mauser pistol.
"Beng Beng Beng——"
Flames spurted out from the muzzle, and a series of bullets shot out as fast as flaming arrows.
Li Kailang's shooting skills were very accurate, and every bullet hit the target accurately.
"Boom!!!"
As the gunshots echoed, several wild boars fell down like mushrooms after rain, with several blood holes appearing on their bodies and blood flowing out.
“Ugh uh uh!!!”
The fallen wild boar roared, and the sound was full of pain and unwillingness.
However, even though they were seriously injured, they were still trying hard to stand up.
Li Kailang completely ignored the fallen wild boar, locked his eyes on the fleeing wild boars, and pulled the trigger.
"Beng Beng Beng——"
A volley of bullets was fired, and soon several wild boars fell down.
"collapse!"
As the last bullet was fired, the ammunition was exhausted.
At the same time, the huge wild boar king in the tribe also noticed Li Kailang.
Watching his companions fall one by one, his eyes were red, and he was obviously extremely angry.
"Uh hum!!!" The wild boar king roared and charged towards Li Kailang.
It is huge in size, incredibly powerful, and the force of its collision is terrifying.
Facing the wild boar king rushing towards him, Li Kailang showed no fear at all.
"You really are not afraid of death! How dare you rush over here!"
Li Kailang sneered, and the other Colt pistol was already ready.
"Beng Beng Beng——"
Three bullets accurately hit the wild boar king's eyes and directly penetrated its head.
"Bang!" There was a muffled sound.
The wild boar king's charge came to an abrupt halt, and he fell straight in front of Li Kailang due to inertia.
He didn't even make a single roar before he died.
Seeing this, the other wild boars fled in all directions.
Li Kailang did not chase them anymore. Looking at the eight wild boars lying on the ground, he nodded with satisfaction.
Including the wild boar king, we killed 5 big pigs and 3 small pigs.
The three smaller wild boars lay on the ground helplessly, without any breath of life. Only the big boar was lying on the ground twitching in pain.
Li Kailang did not rush to kill them, but first replaced the bullets in the Mauser pistol.
"Meow!" A low roar sounded in the silent forest, startling several flying birds.
Li Kailang was startled and immediately stopped changing the magazine. He raised the Colt pistol in his left hand and looked in the direction of the sound with vigilance.
The source of the sound, a small animal covered with leopard spots appeared in Li Kailang's sight.
Its eyes are bright and round, and its teeth are very sharp. It is obviously an extremely aggressive animal.
At this time, it was in an attacking state, making a "shaha" sound at Li Kailang, obviously hostile to Li Kailang.
"This is—Ocelot!"
Looking at the size of the cat and comparing it with the previous footprints, it is obvious that the cat prints are this one.
At this time, Li Kailang was five or six meters away from the leopard cat, but he was not afraid of it. The most important thing was that he still had three bullets in his Colt pistol.
Looking at this small cat, Li Kailang breathed a sigh of relief.
Leopard Cat looked at Li Kailang raising his pistol, his eyes revealing vigilance.
It was this thing that killed the wild boars and the wild boar king.
It hid behind the little wild boar and roared, as if warning Li Kailang not to come closer.
"It seems like he's trying to snatch food from the tiger's mouth!" Li Kailang muttered to himself.
Li Kailang had no intention of taming it. After all, it was a wild animal and was very wild, and it would be difficult to change its mindset.
But I don't plan to let it take away my prey. The leopard cat's pattern is still nice. There is no animal protection law now, so it's okay to kill it!
Li Kailang carefully walked half a circle around the leopard cat.
The leopard cat also turned around and made a sharp "meow" sound, warning Li Kailang not to get closer.
However, Li Kailang took this opportunity to see the leopard cat's belly, where the hair was sparse.
This season is basically the time for giving birth. Li Kailang thought about it and deduced that this leopard cat was a female cat who had just given birth.
"Since you are a protected animal, I won't kill you!"
Li Kailang knew that leopard cats were second-level protected wild animals.
Since there were many preys and it only wanted the little wild boar, Li Kailang thought about it and decided to let the leopard cat take it away.
Putting down the gun in his hand, Li Kailang turned around slowly.
Seeing this opportunity, the leopard cat immediately ran away with the little wild boar in its mouth.
However, the wild boar was about the same size as it, and it fell off after running a few steps. It fell off again after picking it up and running a few more steps.
"Quite smart!" Li Kailang murmured to himself.
He thought that the leopard cat would have to confront Li Kailang before taking the little wild boar away.
Since the leopard cat had already taken the wild boar away, Li Kailang continued to change the magazine.
“Bang, bang, bang!!!”
Kill the struggling wild boars one by one and put them into the ring while they are still hot.
"The big one can be made in any way you like, but the small one can be made into roast suckling pig. I don't know how it tastes."
Li Kailang thought about it, but did not forget the most important thing, cleaning up the battlefield.
Cleaning the blood and bullet marks on the ground, making it look like no one had ever been there.
"Okay, now that the wild boar has been killed, today's mission is completed!" Li Kailang nodded with satisfaction.
"I thought this would take some time, but I didn't expect it to be done so quickly. It seems that it's better to arrive early than to arrive at the right time!"
Now that the mission had been completed, Li Kailang decided to go home.
He quickly went down the mountain and went straight to the home of Village Chief Wang.
At this time, Village Chief Wang had just finished his lunch break and was lazily sitting up from the bed when he saw Li Kailang walking in.
"Master Li, didn't you catch any prey?" Village Chief Wang looked at Li Kailang with empty hands.
Li Kailang nodded in pretended disappointment and said regretfully: "Yeah, what a pity, I didn't get it!"
"Master Li, don't be discouraged. I will ask the young men in the village to accompany you up the mountain again." said Village Chief Wang.
"No, I'm unlucky today. I won't bother Village Chief Wang." Li Kailang refused.
"By the way, Village Chief Wang, you must keep the pig for me. I'll give you the money next time you come."
"Don't worry, I will keep the last pig for you, and no one can take it away!" Village Chief Wang promised.
Hearing this, Li Kailang nodded and prepared to leave.
"Okay, I'll come next time!"
"Master Li, I'll take you there!"
"Village Chief Wang, please stay. I can walk by myself. Just go about your business and don't worry about me!" Li Kailang waved his hands quickly.
"Okay, be careful on the road." Village Chief Wang warned.
Li Kailang was originally thinking about getting a pig, but now that he has a wild boar, he is no longer in a hurry.
Although the taste of wild boar meat is slightly inferior to that of farmed castrated pigs, it is still meat and enough for him to eat for several months.
After returning to the city, Li Kailang passed by the supply and marketing cooperative.
"I was originally thinking of not going there, but I didn't expect to pass by here. It would be unreasonable not to buy something."
Li Kailang sighed. He could not escape the fate of buying things from the supply and marketing cooperative. He could only buy oil, salt, sauce and vinegar again.
