Chapter 003: Autumn Harvest

Lü Qingyao aims to hunt a small group of wild boars, specifically those consisting of two or three large pigs. If he injures the lead boar, the sow will immediately lead the piglets away, disappearing without a trace.

Gradually, the small lanterns increased in number, and eventually, there was a dense cluster of them. At least a dozen wolves appeared in the place where the wild boar had just dashed out.

At that moment, the two hounds in the team also began to bark frantically

"Don't! I have no use for this thing. Besides, how am I supposed to take it? Aren't you the ones hunting wild boars? I've given everything to you all."

In front are four individuals from Liushuizhuang, with the elder at the forefront named Lü Qingyao, who is sixty-five years old this year. Despite being sixty-five, he remains robust, and his voice resonates like a great bell, full of vitality.

Under the influence of gunfire and the autumn harvest

Oh, I forgot, there are two wild boar carcasses in the area, one of which had its skull crushed by Qiu's hand, while the other was directly ripped open by Qiu's claws

At this moment, the wolves, wild boars, the people of Sangbai and Qiushou, as well as those from Liujiazhuang, all fell silent, and the entire world became eerily solemn.

As for what kind of girlfriend to have, Sang Bai has not really thought about it. Not to mention a girlfriend, Sang Bai does not even have a friend in the strictest sense.

"Second Master, what do you think this person is?" Ji Lianwu asked the leader, Lu Qingyao.

They were all seasoned hunters, and everyone instantly raised their guns and loaded the bullets into the chambers

Hearing Sang Bai's voice coming over, Lü Qingyao said: "Not bad, your physique is still strong after walking for such a long distance, better than both of you."

As for why there is such a long interval, it is simply unavoidable. As soon as the two mules approach the autumn harvest, they immediately collapse on all fours; not to mention walking, it is already remarkable that they have not been scared to death.

There is not much, besides a few wild rabbits, there is also a small gray deer

Chen Dongsheng chuckled, withdrew his hand from his sleeve, and scratched his head, saying, "Hehe, it really is like that"

At this moment, no one understands the coincidence they have experienced. The wolf pack is pursuing the wild boars, and they have reached the final critical moment. In the frantic rush, both the wild boars and the wolves are focused on each other, completely oblivious to the presence of the autumn harvest. The hunting dogs in the group have also directed their attention towards the autumn harvest, resulting in a failure to provide an early warning, which led the crowd to collide with the wild boar group

As he lifted his foot to walk forward, halfway through, Sang Bai suddenly heard a sound resembling a pig's grunt, which became increasingly clear.

At the critical moment when the wild boar herd was about to charge at the mulberry tree, a tremendous roar erupted, seemingly capable of shattering the mountain ridge.

As for using a gun to shoot wild boars at this time

Yes, are you suggesting that they might be the descendants of those who were forced to hide in the mountains in previous years?" Chen Baoguo asked again

At this moment, in the southeast, where the wild boars had originally charged out from the steep slope, something happened. A few pairs of eyes, resembling small lanterns, appeared one after another in the sight of the crowd

Lü Qingyao said: "We intend to hunt wild boars, but not the entire herd. When they go wild, let alone our few guns, even a few more wouldn't be enough to handle them!"

Let me put it this way

Sang Bai was dazedly following the large group in a mechanical manner, while Qiu Shou beside him was unaffected at all, humming along the way, occasionally throwing a handful of snow or rolling around.

While Sang Bai was in a daze, the four people in front were also quietly discussing him

The wolf pack gazed at the autumn harvest, and after a moment, silently turned away under the lead of the alpha wolf. The wild boar herd, having lost its leader, found a new one, shaking off the pursuing wolves, and once again gathered together to head south.

In Lü Qingyao's view, although hope may seem distant, taking action is always better than inaction, and having hope is certainly better than having none at all

Goodness, what a large wild boar

However, Sang Bai does not think so. Just the thought of having to wait another 20 years to use a mobile phone, over 20 years to play on Shankou Mountain, and nearly 40 years to enjoy a mobile game like Honor of Kings, gives Sang Bai an impulse to use a weight to charge the battery one more time

Two gunshots rang out in succession

Bang! Bang!

Are you alright

Sang Bai also said with lingering fear, and after speaking, he reached out to gently stroke Qiu Shou's head

"Mr. Lü, what happened up ahead?"

Lü Qingyao said: "This is the prey of my brother Xiao Sang!"

When Sang Bai came to his senses, Qiu Shou was already standing beside him, and a herd of wild boars had also stopped a few dozen steps away from Sang Bai.

Lü Qingyao certainly does not possess the ability to kill a wild boar without harming anyone. To make such a request in the previous situation is not the work of a hunter; it is a task assigned to a sniper

It is precisely the convergence of several coincidences that has led to the current outcome

Lü Qingyao said: "This child has clear eyes and at first glance does not seem like a bad person. Moreover, have you noticed that his skin is even more delicate than a woman's? It is evident that he has not done much hard work, and he might very well be a pampered one at home."

The imposing figure of the autumn harvest loomed like a mountain before the mulberry and cypress trees, ready to confront the charging wild boar with a single slap

Sang Bai waved his hand grandly and spoke with great bravado

Alright

The bright moon hangs high in the sky

However, the legs and feet simply do not obey, standing in place like a wooden post

... ...

The last person and bear are naturally Sang Bai and Qiu Shou

At this moment of the autumn harvest, there is a great deal of playful excitement. As it wobbles its plump backside, with each step, the flesh and long fur on its body sway. Especially the glossy black fur, which, under the moonlight, resembles velvet, shimmering with a hint of glistening waves.

Originally, Lü Qingyao did not intend to open fire, as he believed that the wild boar herd being pursued by the wolf pack could pass through the gap in the middle of the group. He thought that as long as they remained quiet and did not disturb the wild boars, everything would be fine. However, he did not expect Sang Bai to suddenly approach.

In the blink of an eye, only Sang Bai, Qiu Shou, and the people of Liu Family Village remained here

As long as there is food, the autumn harvest will not care whether it is the year 1981 or 1881

When they realized what was rushing towards them, their palms instantly began to sweat

Although he has no car, no savings, and does not own a house, Sang Bai is still quite content with his life

If this were to collide head-on, the gun in hand would be of no use whatsoever, resulting in nothing but a shattering of bones.

Ji Lianwu turned around and retorted, "Can your spies raise such a large bear? If all spies had such abilities, would the Bay Party still need to be driven to the island by our party?"

A group of wild boars running wildly

Lü Qingyao shook his head, took his pipe out of his mouth, and exhaled a puff of smoke: "I don't know, it's unclear!"

Whether it is Chen Dongsheng or Ji Lianwu, both are now somewhat out of breath. After more than two hours of trekking through the snow, the physical stamina of the two young men has begun to decline in a parabolic manner

The pale moonlight cast a shadow of everything possible on the ground, and the untouched white snow reflected the moonlight, illuminating the forest. Although it was not daytime, the visibility remained high, akin to that of daylight

In the southeast, a group of wild boars suddenly appeared as if they had plunged into view, charging towards me in a frenzied manner

Sang Bai did not notice that Qiu Shou had also straightened his body at this moment, stretching his neck to look towards the southeast

Chen Dongsheng behind pressed his voice and said: "Could it be that the agents sent by the Bay Party?"

As far as the eye can see, there are almost twenty or thirty of them. The leading wild boar resembles a makeshift tank, kicking up a flurry of snow as it runs

Just as he was speaking, Ji Lianwu walked over

The autumn harvest is remarkable

The four individuals in front walked while occasionally turning their heads to glance at the person and the bear who were far behind.

Not five minutes after the conversation ended, the leader, Lü Qingyao, suddenly felt as if he had heard some kind of noise

Chen Baoguo said: "What are you thinking about? Where can you find someone who can walk on walls and fly from eaves?"

Following closely behind Sang Bai, every now and then one would nudge him. Each time one nudged, Sang Bai would mechanically reach into the space and pull out a peach, slipping it into Qiu Shou's mouth

With each roar, the confidence of the autumn harvest grows stronger, the upright figure stands like a black rock beneath the moonlight, displaying a tyrannical beauty of violence to the wolf pack and wild boars

instant

If this matter were to happen to another loser, it would surely be amusing enough to cause a myocardial infarction

The people of Liu Family Village and the mule hounds are still in the same place as before

Suddenly, they stopped moving ahead, and Sang Bai called out loudly from behind

A single word emerged in Sang Bai's mind: run

It is important to understand that when this large group of wild boars goes wild, they do not simply turn and run away; instead, they charge directly towards the source of danger. If they were to charge at you, it is not just people who would be in danger; even small trees with a diameter of a bowl have been known to be broken by them. Only a fool would provoke them without reason

A team is traversing through the forest. Strangely, this team, which consists of only a few individuals, has split into two parts. The first four individuals are accompanied by two dogs and two mules, while the last member, along with a bear, is trailing far behind.

The middle-aged man with empty hands behind is named Chen Baoguo, and he is in a nephew-uncle relationship with the Chen Dongsheng in front.

Walking in the middle are two young men, the one in front is named Ji Lianwu, and the one behind is named Chen Dongsheng. Each of them is leading a mule, which carries the hunted game as well as some provisions for several people.

Returning to the year before 1981, Sang Bo perfectly illustrated a single word through his actions: loss

Upon turning his head, Sang Bai was taken aback

Upon seeing this, Lü Qingyao had no choice but to fire two blank shots in an attempt to redirect the wild boar herd

At this moment, Chen Baoguo, who had just finished his task nearby, hurried over with his hands clasped behind his back

Lü Qingyao thought for a moment and shook his head: "It is unlikely; it is already difficult for those people to survive, let alone raise someone like this. Who knows, he might really be telling the truth; he could be a disciple of a remarkable person"

At this moment, Lü Qingyao said, "There are indeed extraordinary individuals in this world, but they are generally not commonly seen. When I was young, I encountered a person who could converse with the Yellow Emperor..."

Bang

Wolf pack

The first thing Lu Qingyao did upon arriving was to inquire about Sang Bai

The entire process seemed to take a long time, yet the result was achieved in the blink of an eye

While calling out, they also curled their tails, as if the approaching entity instilled great fear in them

Therefore, the four members of the Liu family had no choice but to lead the mule in front, while Sang Bai and Qiu Shou followed behind

Aren't you always looking for wild boars? Why didn't you shoot when a wild boar came over?" Sang Bai asked curiously

No problem

A dull sound echoed, and a dark figure soared into the air, followed closely by another shadow, which fell to the snowy ground accompanied by the roar of the autumn harvest

In a wild boar herd of around twenty to thirty heads, nearly half of them are adult wild boars. Not to mention Lü Qingyao, any seasoned hunter would refrain from taking action.

The old man turned his head to look at a person and a bear far behind him, and shouted loudly: "Brother Xiao Sang, just hold on a little longer and we will arrive!"

I almost lost my life, thanks to the autumn harvest

Not only the mule, but even the two hunting dogs had most of their attention focused on Qiushou behind them, turning their heads every few seconds to check Qiushou's position, and their vigilant mindset was evident to anyone.

The wild boar herd suddenly changed direction and rushed towards the southwest

In the past, although Sang Bai was not perceived as successful in the eyes of others, being merely a small-time functionary at a street office without a formal position, he himself was quite content.

After pausing for two seconds without receiving a response, Sang Bai said to Qiu Shou: "Stay here, I will go take a look"

At this moment, Sang Bai was still in a state of confusion; he truly did not understand how he had ended up in 1981

Upon hearing the old gentleman's words, Chen Dongsheng's eyes suddenly lit up

The autumn harvest stood up, shouting while using its front paws to pat the accumulated snow on the ground, causing the snowflakes to scatter wildly

However, after running a short distance, they unexpectedly stopped, making a commotion and getting into a tangle.

In an instant, the thought sprang into Sang Bai's mind

Living in government-subsidized housing, with a monthly income of three to four thousand, I eat at work, spending money only on breakfast; I do not incur expenses for lunch and dinner. The monthly rent for the house is only one hundred and sixty, and the remaining money allows me to browse the second-hand market for items to tinker with and sell online.

Roar

Is he a remarkable person like those in the tales? Like the kind found in "The Three Heroes and Five Gallants"?

Ah!

Lu Qingyao gazed at the autumn harvest, his eyes filled with envy: with such a bear, how could one worry about making ends meet?

Uncle Er, what shall we do next? Are we really taking him back to the village?
