There at Stone Mountain.

Today, six members of the commune were selected to come and catch wild rabbits, with one person from each production team.

In other words, after discussing it, the six team leaders decided that none of them wanted to miss the opportunity to catch a wild rabbit and then have a big rabbit feast at the canteen. So they compromised and each production team sent one person.

At this moment, the six people guarded the six positions on the stone mountain.

These six people have set up hundreds of rope traps around the rocky mountain!

That's absolutely insane!

Once a wild rabbit comes, there are traps everywhere, and there is absolutely no chance of escape.

However, after waiting for more than an hour, the six men still hadn't caught a single rabbit.

All six of them looked exhausted and extremely anxious.

Of the six people, the person sent by the fifth team was Zhang Jianshe, the third son of the team leader Zhang Boshu. He looked puzzled and confused.

“Last night, my two older brothers kept watch together, but they didn’t catch a single rabbit. This morning, I’ve been on watch for an hour, set up twenty traps, and even pulled up five sweet potato vines, but still no rabbits have taken the bait.”

"This shouldn't be the case."

"Zhang Yun and Zhang Jiwu easily caught more than twenty wild rabbits, which shows that the wild rabbits on Songshu Mountain are rampant. Some of them should come down the mountain to steal sweet potatoes."

Zhang Jianshe scratched his head, looking frustrated.

Using his position as team leader, Zhang Boshu forced his three sons to go to Stone Mountain to catch wild rabbits. If they didn't succeed, it would affect his reputation as team leader, and people would naturally gossip and ridicule him behind his back.

"Do these wild rabbits only come out to move around in the afternoon?"

Zhang Jianshe's reasoning was a way of comforting his wounded heart.

At that moment, a figure ran out from the pine mountain, like a male lion galloping wildly, and quickly arrived at the rocky mountain.

"Zhang Jiwu, weren't you going to Jiming Mountain? Why did you come back?"

Someone saw Zhang Jiwu running over and asked him questions with great curiosity.

"We killed two wild boars. Now we need to report to the captain and find someone to go up the mountain and bring the wild boars back."

Zhang Jiwu replied and continued running.

Zhang Jianshe and the other five were stunned when they heard this.

What shocking news!

Two wild boars!

Although Jiuwan Village is located in a mountainous area, there are not many villagers who are skilled at hunting animals. In addition, with the current collective production system, no one usually goes into the mountains to hunt animals.

The last time a wild boar was hunted... it must have been at least ten years ago.

Zhang Jiwu just said he killed two wild boars, which is indeed quite astonishing.

For the villagers of Jiuwan Village, who rarely eat meat, the sudden arrival of two wild boars is like celebrating the New Year.

When Zhang Jianshe saw his third uncle run back to the village, his expression was very complicated.

The three brothers didn't even catch a single rabbit, while Zhang Yun and Zhang Jiwu caught more than twenty rabbits yesterday and killed two wild boars as soon as they entered the mountains today.

The contrast is too stark.

On the other side, Zhang Jiwu ran all the way, and whenever he saw a commune member working in the fields, he would shout that they had killed two wild boars.

Before Zhang Jiwu had even returned to the brigade's courtyard, the legend of the wild boar had already spread.

After all, with wild boar meat to eat, the speed at which these members spread the news was astonishing.

Not long after, Zhang Jiwu arrived at the brigade's threshing ground.

Zhang Hecheng, the brigade secretary, was nearly sixty years old and sat very steadily in his office, while Zhang Youwei, the brigade leader, sat opposite him. The two were discussing the upcoming busy farming season.

In Hunan Province, rice is harvested twice a year. Early rice is usually harvested in early July. It is already mid-June. In another half month, the production team will start to get busy. They need to harvest all the rice, dry it, and transport it to the grain station. The coordination of various tasks during this period is very complicated.

"Secretary, Captain..."

Just then, Zhang Jiwu's voice came through like a loudspeaker, calling out again and again.

Upon hearing the shout, the two powerful figures in the brigade stopped talking and came out of their office.

"Zhang Jiwu, what's all this shouting about? Is something urgent?"

"I can't believe it!" Captain Zhang Youwei shouted, looking blaming.

"Zhang Jiwu, slow down, speak slowly."

Brigade Party Secretary Zhang Hecheng was very friendly and said with a smile.

When Zhang Jiwu was in the presence of these two powerful figures, he usually didn't dare to breathe loudly, and it would take him a long time to utter a single word.

Now, Zhang Jiwu puffed out his broad chest and shouted in a very imposing manner: "Secretary, brigade, we went into the mountains and shot two wild boars and more than fifty wild rabbits."

It was like a proud soldier reporting his achievements to his superior; Zhang Jiwu was very excited.

what? !

Even the most composed individuals trembled upon hearing these words.

This is shocking news.

"Are you telling the truth?"

Zhang Youwei couldn't help but ask a question, for this left no room for doubt; the news was quite explosive.

"Captain, how could I, Zhang Jiwu, dare to lie to you? Captain Zhang Li'an and the others are still guarding two wild boars on Songshu Mountain. They asked me to come and report to you that they need to call some people to go up the mountain and bring the wild boars back."

Zhang Jiwu's voice was very excited, with an expression that left no room for doubt.

Zhang Hecheng and Zhang Youwei both believed it, and they knew perfectly well that Zhang Jiwu wouldn't dare to joke about this.

Both of them became excited.

“Alright, I’ll personally send men up the mountain. Our brigade hasn’t hunted a wild boar in years, so we must reward you this time.”

Zhang Youwei also shouted excitedly, then turned to Zhang Hecheng and said that they would discuss the busy farming season when they returned. Then he pulled Zhang Jiwu along, and the two of them ran quickly.

Soon, Zhang Youwei personally called ten male commune members. They picked up ropes and four thick wooden sticks, and rushed into Songshu Mountain.

Soon after, everyone gathered around the two wild boar carcasses.

Zhang Youwei saw the two enormous wild boars with his own eyes, stared at them for a long time, and soon became very excited, praising them repeatedly.

When militia captain Zhang Li'an saw this scene, his expression changed.

“Captain, I need to clarify for you that we shot and killed these two wild boars. Moreover, this mission to hunt wild boars in the mountains was ordered by the commune. The two members of your production team were just cooperating.”

“In that case, you help me carry the two wild boars back. I can give one of the wild boars to your Jiuwan Brigade, and the other wild boar and those wild rabbits will have to be sent back to the commune.”

Zhang Li'an immediately gave a speech, outlining the arrangements for the harvest from this trip into the mountains.

After listening, Zhang Youwei thought about it and realized that it made sense.

Moreover, if Zhang Li'an brings both wild boars back to the commune, it will be perfectly legitimate, and Zhang Youwei will have no way to stop him.

With a gun in hand, that's the ultimate principle.

Moreover, Zhang Li'an also brought up the People's Commune, and with this mountain pressing down on him, Zhang Youwei had no temper left.

"Okay, we'll do as Captain Zhang says."

Zhang Youwei immediately agreed.

Zhang Li'an nodded with satisfaction, then turned to Zhang Yun and smiled, "You deserve a lot of credit for this trip into the mountains, and I'm very grateful to you for saving me. If you ever need anything in the future, feel free to contact me."

Zhang Li'an spoke in a very businesslike manner just now, but now that the matter has been settled, he is not a heartless person. Of course, he also wants to emphasize Zhang Yun's life-saving grace.

Zhang Yun replied with a polite "thank you" and said no more.

Zhang Yun's trip into the mountains was also intentional; he had achieved his goal, and that was enough.
