Chapter 160 Wild Boar Herd
The other women were all envious when they saw this, but none of them knew how to catch rabbits, so they came over to watch the fun.
Aunt Lu chatted with the women for a few minutes, then happily called Lu Qingqing back to eat rabbit meat, and talked about how to cook the rabbit meat as they walked.
When the other women saw the two men leave, they also gathered their firewood and walked back.
When everyone came back, the men were resting in the cave.
The cave next door had just been completed, and each family led their livestock in and fed them hay, and they just came back not long ago.
The men were surprised to see Aunt Lu coming back with a rabbit. They didn't think a woman could catch rabbits.
Second Aunt Lu held the rabbit in one hand and pulled Lu Qingqing towards Father Wang with the other, saying happily as she walked:
"Mom and Dad, Daya and I caught some rabbits! Look, there's a lot of rabbit meat. We can have a meal tonight!"
Wang Dahe suddenly jumped up and came to Aunt Lu and said:
"Sister, you guys are amazing! You can even catch a rabbit! This rabbit is so fat! If you stew it with some dried vegetables, it will definitely be delicious."
Second Aunt Lu looked at her second brother with a smile, then looked at Erya who was hugging her thigh, and said happily:
"Er Ya, Mom and your elder sister Da Ya caught a rabbit, so we can have meat tonight!"
Erya cheered excitedly, looked at the rabbit from the side, and poked the rabbit's legs from time to time.
Lu Tianfu looked at the rabbit and said enviously:
"Oh, this rabbit is so fat, it will be delicious if you use it to stew radishes!"
When Master Yan and his group saw the rabbit, they felt a little greedy. They had been very tired these days and their stomachs were really lacking in oil and water.
They had all hunted wild animals before, so they looked at Master Yan and said:
"Master, we also want to go outside for a walk."
Master Yan agreed, "Okay, you all grab your weapons, and let's go headhunt for the bigger ones together!"
The men under his command cheered and went to search the carriage for bows and arrows.
Qin Lang was also a little moved, and approached Lu Qingqing and said:
"Daya, I also want to go hunting with Master Yan and the others, is that okay?"
Lu Qingqing was also a little tempted, as she had seen Master Yan and his team's skills before.
This will respond crisply:
"Okay, let's go together!"
Now, most of the men in the cave were tempted.
In the end, only a few men and women were left in the cave, and the rest followed Master Yan and his men out.
The group walked out of the cave and headed into the mountains.
It has been raining these days. The animals in the mountains have been hungry for a long time and they don’t care about the rain and run out to look for food.
Because the ground was muddy, it was easier to leave traces.
Not long after, Master Yan and his team discovered traces of wild boar.
Master Yan saw that Qin Lang and Lu Qingqing were curious, so he explained these techniques to them as they walked.
Everyone followed the traces all the way inside, and it took them more than half an hour to find the herd of wild boars.
This group of wild boars is not large, with a total of more than twenty wild boars of all sizes.
As soon as Master Yan raised his hand, everyone fell silent.
On the way here, Master Yan told everyone in advance that they must keep quiet.
At this moment, everyone looked over from a distance and saw that the group of wild boars were digging the ground with their noses, and from time to time they turned out something to eat.
Wild boars are vigilant and aggressive creatures, and it was clear that they were not yet within range.
Master Yan signaled the disciples with bows and arrows to go around to the other side as much as possible, while he led the rest of the people to slowly approach from this side.
The sound of rain interfered with the wild boars' hearing, and when they came into range, the herd still hadn't reacted.
As Master Yan's hand fell, all the bows and arrows shot out.
Lu Qingqing's arrow hit a half-grown wild boar. Based on her previous experience of eating wild boars, this half-grown pork tasted better.
Six wild boars fell in this wave, and the other wild boars began to flee in fright.
A few people ran out to the opposite side and started to drive away the wild boars. Three wild boars ran towards Lu Qingqing in panic.
Qin Lang waited for a long time and finally got the chance. He rushed towards the largest wild boar with a long knife in hand.
He was facing a wild boar with tusks and was very large.
The wild boar was trying to escape and was charging forward very fast. When it saw a group of people suddenly running out, it had no time to turn around.
Qin Lang rushed towards the wild boar with a knife in hand, and stabbed the pig's neck with the first blow.
The wild boar's skin was covered with thick pine oil, so the cut only caused some blood to flow.
The wild boar was enraged by the knife and stopped running away, and began to rush towards Qin Lang.
Lu Qingqing was worried that Qin Lang was injured, but she couldn't shoot the arrow because Qin Lang's back was facing away from her, blocking her view.
At this time, Master Yan had already killed the wild boar that rushed towards him.
Seeing Qin Lang's situation, he hurried over to help.
The two of them attacked together and successfully killed the wild boar.
At this time, the remaining villagers also dealt with another wild boar that ran over.
At this time, the only sounds left on the field were the grunts of the wild boars that were not yet dead and the gasps of people.
Everyone was very excited to see so many wild boars killed. There was so much meat that they could eat for a long time!
In total, ten wild boars were killed this time, fortunately there were many people who came.
The crowd carried or dragged the ten wild boars back to the cave.
Master Yan's team killed the most wild boars, a total of seven. They gave up two of them and everyone cooked one for dinner in the evening.
Now, the atmosphere in the cave is almost like Chinese New Year!
Fearing that the cave would be filled with blood and stink, the men dragged the pig outside the cave to cut it into pieces.
It was still drizzling outside, so the group quickly built a straw hut and continued to work.
The men started cutting up the pork with axes, while the women were busy boiling water to scald the pig hair.
These days, each family has built a row of earthen stoves next to the cave entrance and takes turns using them when cooking.
Each family placed a lot of wooden basins outside to collect water. After the water was collected outside, it was boiled inside and then brought out to scald the pig hair. The group of people were busy in full swing.
Each family contributed some dried vegetables or seasonings, and Lu Qingqing took out some dried ginger and star anise, so that the wild boar would be less fishy.
The wife of the old village chief has good skills and directs the women to work.
I worked until dusk and made a big pot of pig-killing dishes.
When eating, everyone in the queue lines up and takes their bowls and basins to serve the food.
Normally, farmers would only cut a little meat to taste during the Chinese New Year, but now everyone holds a big bowl of meat and can't stop eating.
Lu Qingqing was eating the pig head in the bowl and couldn't help but sigh that the pig-killing dish was indeed as delicious as its reputation!
After the group finished their meal and rested for a while, they began to deal with the remaining pigs.
Everyone chatted and laughed, and began to continue the previous steps.
The first thing they dealt with was the wild boar killed by Master Yan's group. Qin Lang stood in front of the wild boar he and Master Yan killed to watch.
Some of them were so arrogant that they told Lu Qingqing how big the wild boar he killed was.
The wild boar was so big that Lu Qingqing took one look and decided that the meat would not be very tasty.
If this big wild boar is placed in a restaurant outside and cooked with various spices, it might be delicious.
But in this cave, there are only a few kinds of condiments, so I’m afraid it won’t taste very good.
But it was the first time that Qin Lang had hunted such a big wild boar, and Lu Qingqing didn't want to spoil his fun, so she accompanied him to prepare to perm the wild boar's hair.
