Winter comes early in Kaoshantun.
Almost every year, we have to wear winter clothes by the end of October, and the clothes will last until March of the following year. If we don’t prepare enough firewood, we may freeze to death in the cold throughout the winter.
Therefore, generally at this time every village would organize themselves and take time to go into the mountains to collect firewood and transport it back.
So Xie Beichen naturally took time to come back during this period, and rushed to stock up firewood in his house with other villagers.
Considering that Ruan Yu’s due date is around November, it is necessary to ensure that the house is kept warm for at least the winter.
At the same time, there is an accumulation of various mountain products and winter supplies.
Knowing Ruan Yu's due date, not only did her father Xie Zhongnan go back to make arrangements, but even her brothers and sisters also mailed large and small packages of things to her.
There are soft fabrics suitable for making clothes for children, and various nutritional supplements, which are all good things that are hard to find in Kaoshantun.
Gu Tianqi was dragged into the mountain by Xie Beichen early in the morning. They made this trip not only for firewood, but also to try their luck and see if they could get a big fish back to satisfy the team members who had been tired for several days.
Gu Tianqi thought that Xie Beichen's current influence in Kaoshantun Brigade was somewhat related to the ingredients he often provided.
Therefore, in order to gain the same status as Xie Beichen and earn a good image for himself, Gu Tianqi would naturally not object to Xie Beichen's arrangement.
Xie Beichen told the old branch secretary about his plan yesterday, and the old branch secretary naturally had no objection. After telling Xie Beichen to be careful when entering the mountains, he also promised that the firewood for their family would be bought by all the men in the village.
After all, compared to going deep into the mountains to hunt big animals, it is just a matter of climbing up and down to chop some branches and bring them back as firewood. For the villagers who have lived outside the mountains all year round, it is a very simple thing.
Gu Tianqi thought that he had good physical strength, but after entering the forest, he was still far behind Xie Beichen in terms of speed.
Xie Beichen's familiarity with this forest even surpassed those experienced hunters of Hongqi Commune.
He didn't even have to stop to check the terrain, and he led Gu Tianqi all the way inside along the familiar route. Soon, they really found traces left by the wild boars.
"No, brother, look at these marks, they don't look like they were left by a lone wild boar."
Looking at the mess of branches and branches left by the passing wild boars, Gu Tianqi couldn't help but gasp after checking the traces.
He stood up, walked to the side of Xie Beichen who was also carefully checking the traces and movements, and said seriously: "It's no joke to anger the wild boars."
Last year, some soldiers who were patrolling the mountains accidentally ran into a group of wild boars that were out foraging for food, and one of the soldiers died on the spot.
"I know."
Xie Beichen bent down and walked forward carefully following the clues, checking the differences and changes in the traces, then he stood up straight, turned his head and said to Gu Tianqi with certainty: "The number of wild boars in this group is not large.
It looks like they were dispersed from a large group.
We'll follow it and see what happens."
After hearing Xie Beichen's arrangement, Gu Tianqi thought about it and did not refuse.
After all, Xie Beichen had more say here than him. To put it bluntly, he came here today just to help Xie Beichen.
Seeing that Gu Tianqi agreed with his decision, Xie Beichen did not delay. He told him to follow slowly, then he exerted force with his feet and jumped onto the tree trunk beside him. Just like that, he climbed onto the tree trunk in a few breaths.
Then he followed the direction of the trace and rushed forward without looking back.
Gu Tianqi stood there, stunned by Xie Beichen's series of outrageous actions.
He finally understood why Xie Beichen had asked to go into the jungle for reconnaissance alone before.
This operation...
Who can keep up?
He is just an ordinary person, not a monkey who grew up in the forest!
I’m afraid even a monkey might not be as agile as him!
Gu Tianqi complained in his heart but kept walking.
In this way, the two of them rushed forward one after another for almost an hour. Gu Tianqi, who was walking behind, finally heard the noise coming from the front.
He didn't dare to delay any longer and quickly quickened his pace and rushed towards the direction where the noise came from.
But no matter how fast Gu Tianqi was, when he arrived, there was nothing on the ground that required him to finish off the enemy except the corpses of two wild boars.
“The rest ran away.”
Xie Beichen glanced at the depths of the jungle and whispered to Gu Tianqi about it. At the same time, he urged him to quickly make a simple sled: "It's not safe here. We have to go back quickly."
This herd of wild boars was not that big, just as he had guessed. Including the two unlucky ones lying on the ground, there were only about five or six of them.
So when he directly attacked the wild boars that were foraging for berries on the periphery, the remaining wild boars quickly ran away in all directions, and only another wild boar rushed towards him stupidly with its fangs bared.
So we have the two trophies in front of us.
Gu Tianqi didn't ask any more questions. He quickly cooperated with Xie Beichen to use vines and the tree trunks he had cut down to make a sled that was convenient for dragging in the jungle. He tied the trophies on both ends and headed back without looking back.
Actually, to be honest, wild boar meat is not that delicious.
Many places are old and woody, with a strong earthy smell.
But these days, it’s good enough to have meat to eat. Who would be so picky?
So when Xie Beichen and Gu Tianqi appeared in front of the young and old men in Kaoshantun dragging a sled, all the villagers in Kaoshantun were crazy with joy.
The entire brigade's threshing ground was as lively as a festival.
Since it was decided to be a reward before the autumn harvest, the old branch secretary directly arranged for people to build a stove on the spot and cook a big pot of food.
There weren't actually that many villagers in Kaoshantun Brigade, so basically one wild boar was enough for everyone to eat. So after the old branch secretary and Xie Beichen discussed it, they decided to divide the remaining boar equally among every household, so that everyone could have some meat and oil in the future.
Of course, Xie Beichen, the great contributor, had the right to choose first. After asking for the opinions of Ruan Yu and Ouyang Mingnuo, he did not ask for much. He only asked for a piece of lard and half a rib.
Another great contributor, Gu Tianqi, was not forgotten either. When everyone was preparing dinner on the field, many people had already shown great interest in him.
