Chapter 47 Some things still need to be explained
"I won't get involved in the rest of the matter." Halimu said, "I'll go get the horse, and you can ride the horse to drag the two wild boars back to the carriage, load them on the carriage and take them away."
Li Long knew that this was due to some habits that were difficult to talk about here. He said with some curiosity and gratitude:
"Actually, you don't have to come. I can do it myself."
"No, I have to kill the big one. There is only a ravine and a ridge between here and my winter den. I have observed that he has already crossed the ravine on the east side. If I don't stop him, he will bring this group of wild boars to my winter den in a few days, and then it will be very troublesome."
Although Li Long was still unclear about how troublesome this matter was, he knew the seriousness of the matter when he knew why Halimu was willing to come and help him knock off the wild boar's head despite some taboos.
Moreover, this big wild boar had clearly been shot, but it continued to rush upwards, trying to kill the person who shot the gun. This shows how ferocious this guy is!
If it really runs to Halimu's winter nest, it would probably be a disaster!
Halimu left and left Li Long here.
Li Long stretched his arms and legs, turned off the safety of his gun and put it on his back, then walked up to the smaller wild boar.
The wild boar was killed by his one blow, and now there was a large area of blood that had frozen.
The main reason Halimu left him here was that he was afraid that if both of them left, the wolf would come and eat the wild boar.
Wouldn’t Li Long’s fight be in vain then?
He squatted down and saw that the bullet passed through under the shoulder blade, probably hit the heart, and then came out from the other side.
Li Long grabbed the pig's ears, trying to drag the wild boar to the front of the big wild boar, so that it would be easier to drag it with a horse.
At this time, Li Long felt what it meant to be extremely heavy. He used all his strength to barely drag the wild boar a little bit. There was no other way, so Li Long had to wade through the snow himself and then drag the two pigs together. He worked up a sweat before finally dragging the two pigs together.
The next step is to wait.
The big wild boar had two tusks sticking out of its mouth. One of them had a crack and the other was sharp. It looked like it was used frequently and was really like a dagger.
What disappointed Li Long was that the two wild boars, especially the big one, did not have the "shoulder armor" as described in the novel.
He also read novels in his previous life, and often saw stories about one tiger, two bears and three pigs, or one pig, two tigers and three bears. Anyway, wild boars were praised highly, saying that their shoulders often rubbed against pine trees, and the resin hanging on their bodies was like a layer of armor, and it was difficult to be hurt by ordinary knives.
This wild boar seems to be quite old. There is no armor on its shoulders or body. At most there is a layer of dirt under its fur, which falls off easily with a scratch. It does not provide any protection at all.
Is the novel a lie, or did I only see these two wild boars and not any with armor?
While Li Long was thinking about it, Halimu had already rushed over.
He dismounted, handed the rope to Li Long, asked him to tie both pigs tightly, then hung the rope on the saddle, asked Li Long to mount the horse and start dragging.
The horse walked twice without dragging, and Halim said:
"Just whip the horse and make it run. If you are afraid, hold on to the saddle tightly."
Li Long did as he was told and whipped the horse. The horse immediately started to move harder. After two or three whips, the wild boar started to move.
Under the power of Li Long's whip, the horse began to trot, following the side of the ridge, circling around with Halimu, and came to the carriage in front of the winter den.
Halimu and Li Long worked together to push the carriage down a gentle slope, right below the wild boar.
The two men secured the carriage, and Li Long went up to untie the rope that tied the wild boar, and slowly pushed it down with the friction of the snow, and then pushed the boar and the snow onto the carriage. The second wild boar was also done in the same way, and when it was put on the carriage, Li Long felt that he was too tired to move.
I was tired and nervous. When I was riding the horse to drag the wild boar just now, I was really worried. I was worried that I would fall off, and I was also worried that the horse would not be able to drag it.
"Wipe the horse's sweat off. It's exhausted." Halimu reminded him again, "You can't feed the horse at this time. Let it rest."
Li Long took the old blanket thrown by Halimu and wiped the sweat off the horse's neck and body.
It was already daybreak when Halimu's wife came out of the winter den and called them.
"Let's go in and have some milk tea." Halimu said with a smile.
Li Long led the horse to the front of the winter den, tied it up, and then followed Halimu in.
He put away the gun, took off his leather coat, took off his shoes, got on the kang, took the bowl handed to him by the woman and drank the milk tea in big gulps. When the boiling hot milk tea entered his stomach, Li Long finally felt that his body was his own.
It has been many days since I was reborn, and today I truly felt what it means to be tired and nervous.
After a quick breakfast, Li Long took out the bullets from his pocket and handed them to Halim:
"There are still a few bullets in the gun. These are all I have left. Please help me return the gun to Brother Yushan Jiang, and give him these bullets as well. I'll bring him some more bullets next time I come."
"Okay." Halimu took it without hesitation. This was more useful than anything else in the dangerous mountains.
"Then I'll leave." Li Long knew that he couldn't stay here for long with the wild boar. "I'll come back in two days. By the way, if you need anything else, I'll bring it over next time."
Halimu thought for a moment and said:
"If possible, bring some rice. Not too much, just a little bit will do." Li Long nodded and said:
"no problem."
He stood up, said goodbye to the old lady and others, put on his clothes and left the winter den.
This time, I got some jade and two wild boars. I wanted to get some more wood to fill the wagon, but I just didn't have the energy.
Halimu put a bundle of grass on his carriage, helped him harness the carriage, and waved goodbye to him.
Li Long drove the carriage carefully down the mountain. Going down the mountain was not like going up. Now he was alone, but there were two wild boars in the carriage. The gun had been returned. He was not unarmed, but he only had an iron pipe that he had confiscated before, which was really of little use.
Li Long stopped after walking a few hundred meters, took apart the bundle of grass to barely cover the two wild boars, then found some branches along the way to press down the grass, and then drove the carriage out of the mountain.
Li Long walked all the way to the county before he stopped.
He felt hungry. He drank a lot of milk tea in the morning and ate little naan, and ate a lot at night, so now his stomach was empty.
Li Long drove the horse-drawn carriage to the door of the big meat canteen, lifted the door curtain and shouted to the waiter inside, asking for three meat buns. After paying, he ate while driving the horse-drawn carriage to the purchasing station.
He wanted to know whether the two pieces of jade could be accepted.
He doesn't know now, because he didn't come back all night, and because of the incident with Gu Ermao and Tao Dayong, people in the team have spread the rumor that he has been arrested!
