Chapter 188 Catching Wild Boars
"Don't worry, Xiaoguo, we are here. No matter what Xiaowan says, we will do it and make sure she gets away with it." Aunt Hehua couldn't help laughing when she heard their conversation.
Following her words, other women also rushed to speak.
"I'm the best at making pancakes. When we go to the mountains, I'll make pancakes for everyone every day."
"And me. I'm good with knives, so you can come to me to cut vegetables and chop meat."
"Aunt, there's me too. I can collect firewood..." The half-grown boy raised his hand and shouted. There was no fear on his face, but instead a look of excitement for adventure.
……
Everyone rushed to talk about what they were good at and wanted to do more practical things for everyone.
For a moment, the smile on Ye Guo's face never faded.
Everyone was busy and lively, helping each other, replenishing food as quickly as possible, and after a short rest, we set out again in the rain.
It is mainly a place for rest. It is not big enough to accommodate everyone, so people can only come in groups.
However, those busy women not only did not complain at all, but some of them took the initiative to take out their own reserve food and gave it to Ye Wan, the housekeeper.
"Aunt, this..." This is the food that everyone depends on for survival, why did you just give it to her like this? And the amount is at least several dozen kilograms, this...
Ye Guo smiled and patted her shoulder. "This is trust. You keep it for yourself first. I will tell the village head later that when we get to the mountain, the food will be collected according to the number of people. This way you can make plans."
Ye Wan nodded heavily, "I will listen to my aunt."
When everyone saw the tree houses of all sizes built on the mountain, they immediately felt warm in their hearts.
At this moment, it seems redundant to say thank you, but everyone will remember this kindness.
"What are you waiting for? It's raining so hard, let's go inside quickly. If you need any help, just shout." After saying that, Ye Guo took the lead and entered the tree house.
The tree houses are all made of wooden boards and covered with several layers of rainproof tarpaulin. Each house has only one small window.
The door is also very small, and you can only pass through by bending over. But the advantage is that it is as windproof and rainproof as possible, and the house is very dry.
Moreover, the wooden mortise and tenon structure means that even though it creaks in strong winds, the house is still very solid.
Each room was independent. Ye Guo, Ye Wan and Aunt Liu lived in one room, while Old Man Ye and Boss Ye lived in another room.
Others don’t have such spacious rooms. Basically, there are five to eight people in a room, with a large bunk bed.
But no one is picky. For them, having a place to live is enough.
Everyone encountered many inconveniences that night, but at least they had a place to stay in the rain.
But before evening, some people started to have fever or had existing illnesses...The busiest person became Dr. Peng.
Fortunately, Ye Guo had anticipated this situation. Doctor Peng was Liang Yuan's subordinate and was brought here on horseback.
Otherwise, considering Dr. Peng’s age, it would be hard for him to even walk here by himself, so how could he have the energy to see patients?
This evening, everyone spent it in a busy and orderly manner.
The next day, the village head asked all the young men in the village to level the land as agreed before. The land was not very big, just the size of a basketball court. But there were many things to do, the most important of which was to cut down all the surrounding trees.
This task took two days, during which time people drove ox carts back to the village to move things.
Boss Ye did not stop for a moment and was arranging the storage of food.
Fortunately, although it has been raining these days, there has never been the kind of heavy downpour that happened the night before yesterday.
The villagers were used to working in the rain, repeatedly reinforcing the tree houses. The hill that Ye Guo chose was really high, and it was the kind that would never be flooded.
Instead, Ye Guo became the most idle person. Because of the heavy moisture from the rain, Aunt Liu had been making various dehumidifying medicines for her these past few days, but she drank them until there was no taste in her mouth.
Just at this moment, Guard Lu came knocking on the door.
"County Lady, we have found traces of wild boars in the nearby forests. There are about five or six of them. The brothers want to catch them and bring them to you as a snack."
Ye Guo laughed, "Are there enough people? If not, I'll let my eldest brother bring some people to go with you."
Guard Lu seemed not to notice the teasing smile in Ye Guo's eyes, but the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "This is the best. It's hard to dig traps in rainy days like this, and it's difficult to catch them."
As soon as she heard it, she knew that they knew their limits, and the guards had more experience in surviving in the wild than she did.
She naturally couldn't be an outsider instructing insiders, "Wait a minute, I'll go call someone and ask Xiaowan and the others to boil some hot water in advance. If you want to eat, you have to eat the freshest food."
When Boss Ye heard about the wild boar, he became excited and then worried, and then he realized that his worry was in vain.
Ye Guo actually came to ask him to organize people to catch wild boars to eat.
Go, must go.
Even the village head and others wanted to go in person after they found out, but were stopped by Ye Guo on the pretext that someone needed to save energy to kill the pigs.
When catching wild boars on a rainy day, on a hillside, the fastest way is to use arrows.
Some of the guards had arrows with them, which were perfect for use.
So the so-called asking Boss Ye and others to participate is better to just let them carry back the killed wild boar.
When they arrived, Guard Lu and his men had already recovered all the arrows from the wild boar.
There were five wild boars, two large and three small. This was quite a rich harvest.
Everyone ran out to help, especially the children who usually couldn't sit still. They all stood beside the iron pot, eager to get the meat into their mouths.
The aroma of the pig's head dish spread from miles away, tempting everyone's appetite.
There is also lard boiling...it smells so good that passers-by will drool.
The most irresistible thing is that Ye Guo also added a lot of spices, such as bay leaves, star anise, and a pot of chili peppers...
"The New Year in the village isn't this lively." The village head smiled from ear to ear.
"Two pigs, one large and one small, are enough for today." Old Man Ye also laughed, "The big one weighs two hundred kilograms. If there are more, the villagers will be full."
Ye Guo: I didn’t expect a wild boar could grow so big, especially a black-skinned one.
"We should kill one more small one so that Brother Lu and the others can have enough to eat."
It was fine for the tribesmen to save some food, but not for the guards. They had worked hard during this period, and although they could often catch a couple of pheasants, it was still rare to see a wild boar this big.
"Don't worry, the villagers will only eat this meal, and the rest will be left for Guard Lu and his men. They are armed with knives and guns, and it takes much more energy than us."
The head of the village interrupted and exchanged a tacit look with Old Man Ye, and it was obvious that they had already reached a consensus on this matter.
