With the final fence gate completed.

It's finally completed. I guess his house is the only one in the village with a fence. It's really different.

Xu Wenyan raised his head slightly, but the sun was too dazzling. Since the Waking of Insects, the temperature has risen sharply. Every time he went to the mountains several times before, he could hear the sound of gurgling water.

Most of it is melted snow.

Walking to the gate of the yard, Xu Wenyan felt that he should still raise some poultry, not to mention pigs, at least two or three chickens.

"You two go back first and heat up the steamed buns from the morning for lunch, and cut some deer meat." After Xu Wenyan gave the instructions, he went to the village chief's house.

The vegetables at home would not last for a few days. Xu Wenyan now only hoped that the bamboo shoots would grow quickly, otherwise he would have to eat only rice for the next few days.

But then again, it's good enough to have something to eat now. A few days ago, Xu Wenyan heard that buckwheat in the county was costing six cents per pound. You know, this was the price of brown rice before.

Even if the price fluctuates, the increase is too fast.

Originally Xu Wenyan was planning to take the bamboo shoots to the county to sell, but now he thinks better of it and decides to keep them for himself.

At the village chief's house, Wang Dongmei had just returned from the fields with Chen Xingjie: "Hey, why are you here, Brother Wen Yan?" Wang Dongmei greeted him with a smile.

"Sister Dongmei."

"Come on, sit inside. Your small body cannot stand the sun."

Xu Wenyan also smiled and followed the young couple.

Wang Dongmei poured him a bowl of water and sat down opposite him: "What do you want to see your sister about?"

"Sister Dongmei, do you have chicks at home?" Xu Wenyan took two sips. The water still had a smell of earth, which was still there even after it was boiled.

"You came at the right time. We only have eight chicks in our family. We are probably the only one in the village that has chicks. Most families froze to death in the winter." Wang Dongmei stood up and took Xu Wenyan to the backyard.

The chicks were looking for bugs to eat next to the persimmon tree in the backyard.

"But I can only give you two. If I give you more, my father will scold me." Wang Dongmei said as she caught a pair of chicks for Xu Wenyan, one male and one female.

Xu Wenyan really had a good impression of this enthusiastic and generous elder sister. No wonder the old village chief's family cherished this daughter-in-law so much: "Thank you, Sister Dongmei."

"No need to thank me. Chicks are expensive now, ten cents each. Don't say you don't have money." Wang Dongmei patted Xu Wenyan's shoulder.

"How can that be possible?" Xu Wenyan paid the money promptly, said goodbye to the two and left.

Xu Wenyan saw how Wang Dongmei took care of his family and he wanted to repay her in the future.

"Children, look what I brought back." Xu Wenyan strode towards the yard.

Several children who were waiting in the main hall ran towards Xu Wenyan. Xu Wenyan opened the clothes he had been holding up, and two chicks that had already fledged appeared in front of the children.

"It's a chick!" Rongrong was rarely so happy.

Xu Wenyan smiled when she saw that the children all liked it: "Rongrong likes it?"

Rongrong first looked at Xiaoji and then at Xu Wenyan and nodded heavily: "Yes."

"Okay, from now on I'll leave the chickens to you and Xiaohua to raise.

Xu Wenyan could see that Xiaohua actually liked these two chicks, but since she saw Rongrong liked them, she didn't argue.

"Uncle, I want to raise chickens too!" Chen Dong became a little anxious when he saw that his uncle didn't let him raise any.

"Okay, okay, let's raise them together. You must take good care of the chicks. When the hens lay eggs, we will have eggs to eat."

Put the two chicks in the wooden box first and then think about the chicken coop after they have finished their meal.

Because Chen Sanlin's house was not big, and there were two empty corners at the entrance of the yard, Xu Wenyan planned to build a chicken coop on the side where the kitchen used to be.

Just as Xu Wenyan was about to start, several men rushed in from outside the courtyard gate.

"Chen Sanlin, it's bad, wild boars are destroying the crops again." Those people were sweating profusely, obviously they were running here.

Chen Sanlin was also aware of the loud noise. When he came out, he had a hunting bow and a machete in his hands, as well as a net woven with hemp rope.

"Be careful." Xu Wenyan knew that it would be useless for him to follow, but he also didn't want Chen Sanlin to get into trouble because of helping other people.

After all, Chen Sanlin is the only hunter in the village. Ever since the incident with Zhao Tiezhu picking up the wolf cub, no one believed that he could hunt, so they could only come to Chen Sanlin.

"Wait for me at home."

After saying goodbye, Chen Sanlin followed the men to the village, and because of the two slopes, several people fell flat on their backs.

When he arrived, Chen Sanlin saw the two wild boars running around from a distance. They were so thin that they were almost skin and bones.

I was really hungry.

"It's Chen Sanlin who's here."

Some of the men who were confronting the wild boar saw Chen Sanlin, and instantly they all looked at Chen Sanlin as if they had found their backbone.

Chen Sanlin ignored them. Looking at the two wild boars still running around, he already had a solution in his mind. He took two steps and rushed towards a wild boar in the corner.

He picked up the hemp rope net on his shoulder with his left hand and threw it towards the wild boar: "Hold it down."

Four or five men rushed forward and held the net tightly, but this was only enough to control it.

There is no point in pulling the bow at this position, and Chen Sanlin doesn't want his bow to be damaged again.

He put down the hunting bow, picked up the machete at his waist and walked towards another wild boar. The wild boar seemed to be annoyed as it was already very hungry and was discovered by these humans before it had even had time to eat.

The wild boar retreated two steps and then rushed towards Chen Sanlin. Chen Sanlin just dodged to the side and avoided the attack of the wild boar. He grabbed the wild boar's tail with his left hand.

With another effort, Chen Sanlin actually pulled the wild boar back alive. The faces of the men watching were full of disbelief. How strong must Chen Sanlin be?

Although the wild boar was also skinny, it was impossible for it to be pulled back by one hand.

Chen Sanlin on the other side raised his knife and cut off the wild boar's artery with two strokes, then turned around to deal with the one in the other cage.

After carefully checking the two wild boars, there was no dirt on their bodies, so they should not be sick.

On the other side, Xu Wenyan had just cleared the space for the chicken coop when he heard a commotion outside. Before he could go out to check, he met a pair of smug eyes.

Then seven or eight men came in carrying two wild boars.

"Chen Sanlin is truly amazing. He managed to tame these two wild boars all by himself."

"Yes, you are worthy of being the hunter of our Jixiang Village."

Everyone was talking at once, but Chen Sanlin just looked at Xu Wenyan and smiled, unable to suppress the smug look on his face.

It sounds good, I love listening to it, and I want to talk about it more.

Chen Sanlin only hopes that his wife can praise him.

Xu Wenyan also patted Chen Sanlin on the shoulder and said, "Sure, that's awesome. We can eat two wild boars this big for a long time."

After getting what he wanted, Chen Sanlin generously gave two kilograms of meat to each of the men who had just helped him deal with the wild boar.

The villagers finally put their minds at ease after worrying about their daily lives.
