Chapter 100: Eating the Big Black Eagle Offered by the Mountain God

“Here we go, pay attention!”

Li Wentong roared, and then fired three shots in succession.

When it rushed to the bottom of the ridge, it was still forty or fifty meters away from Yue Feng and the others. The cannon egg plunged headfirst into the ground and soon became motionless.

When I turned around to look at the herd of pigs, the surviving wild boars had already run far away in the southeast direction.

“Hehe, it’s hit! Both ends!!!” Yue Feng said excitedly.

“Let’s go down and take a look!”

Li Wentong swiftly climbed up from the snow pile and walked towards the meadow at the bottom of the valley with his gun in hand.

The first one to pass by was the wild boar that did not run away but rushed over after hearing the gunshots. This wild boar weighed about 230 to 240 kilograms and was fat and strong. It was obvious that it had gained a lot of weight in the autumn and its whole body was round.

Yue Feng glanced at the impact points and saw that he was hit by one bullet in the front leg and two bullets in the head. His skull was blown open by the huge impact energy of the 7.62mm bullets.

“Go and deal with the sow first. The meat from its testicles is not tasty. Come back and deal with it later!” Li Wentong just glanced at the wild boar casually and continued walking towards the meadow.

Yue Feng didn’t waste any time and quickly followed.

When they got closer, they saw a sow weighing 270 to 280 kilograms. There was a gun muzzle on its head and lungs, and it was already dead.

“Use a sharp knife to drain the pig’s blood and take out all the internal organs!” Li Wentong ordered again.

Yue Feng was very nimble. He took out a knife from his waist and cut the carotid artery in the wild boar’s neck without hesitation. Only dark red blood was seen flowing out quickly.

Yue Feng took a glance at the wild boar’s lying posture, took two steps to the pig’s buttocks, grabbed the pig’s hind legs with his hands and lifted them up hard, moving the bleeding position to the lowest point on the ground.

This time, more pig blood was controlled.

When the pig’s blood had almost been drained, Yue Feng held the razor and began to gut the wild boar again. The sharp blade of the razor cut open the pig’s belly directly along the central axis of the abdomen. Especially when the tip of the knife passed through the lower abdomen, Yue Feng used the tip of his thumb to pick it up very skillfully to prevent the intestines from being cut.

After the abdomen was opened, Yue Feng took the sharp knife and quickly worked in the wild boar’s belly. Soon, the internal organs that were still emitting heat were easily removed.

“Uncle, what should we do with these internal organs? Don’t we want them?” Yue Feng asked.

“Leave the pig’s stomach here, and offer the rest to the mountain god! Hang it on the tree!!”

“Okay!” Yue Feng spotted a tree of suitable height, swung his arms hard, and hung the entire set of pig offal on the tree.

From beginning to end, Li Wentong did not take any action and basically did not speak. He originally wanted to teach his nephew how to deal with the wild boar, but judging from Yue Feng’s hand control and posture, although he was not skilled, he definitely had methods.

“Who did you learn this skill of cutting open the body, bleeding and cooking the internal organs from?” Li Wentong hesitated for a long time, but still couldn’t hold back and asked.

Yue Feng grinned: “It’s not that difficult. We have to kill the New Year pig every winter. You can learn the basics by following the village butcher a few times! Are we going to skin the wild boar? I’m not good at skinning. I’ve never tried it!”

Li Wentong could accept this explanation. The skill of slaughtering pigs and cleaning their internal organs was not difficult to master, and it was understandable that his nephew could learn it by observing closely.

“Leave the pig skin alone for now, and then go get the eggs out! If it’s left there for too long, the meat will become even more unpalatable!”

“profound!”

The first time Yue Feng went up the mountain with Uncle Li, he acted as a qualified helper and used the same trick to deal with the second cannon egg.

The valley was filled with a strong smell of blood and the faint stench of internal organs, and Yue Feng’s hands were inevitably stained with a lot of blood.

Even after cleaning out the internal organs of the two wild boars, the remaining pig cavities would still weigh at least 400 kilograms.

It would take at least two hours of walking along the mountain road to get home from their current location. It would be almost impossible for the father and son to bring the pigs back at once.

“Uncle, how do we take the pig back? Carry it?” Yue Feng asked.

Li Wentong shook his head: “Even if we remove the internal organs of these two pigs, they still weigh at least 300 to 400 kilograms. It’s impossible for the two of us to carry them back in one trip!”

“That……”

“First, remove the four legs and good meat of this sow. We can take as many as we can in one trip! Go home and pull the sled. Try to bring the pig home before dark!”

Yue Feng nodded: “Okay!”

Soon, Yue Feng got busy. Pig skin was not valuable these days, so he directly removed the pig’s back seat and two front legs along the joints of the limbs.

The weight of these four legs and half of the buttocks is probably close to 100 kilograms.

Yue Feng made a rough estimate, then used a sharp knife to cut down a few bushes at the bottom of the valley, tied one end with a rope, and then tied the removed pork legs and good meat to it.

I pulled the rope for a while on the snow, and it was okay. Although there was resistance, it was much less labor-intensive than just carrying it by hand.

“Use this to drag it. I think if the two of us work hard, we can drag this sow back in one trip!” Yue Feng suggested.

Li Wentong had never played like this before. Seeing that the shrub sled made by Yue Feng worked well, he nodded and said, “Let’s take this sow back first! Cut a few more shrubs and tie the waist and head together!”

“Row!”

Soon, Yue Feng made another makeshift sled. When the rope in the backpack was used up, Yue Feng had a trick. He took the leg bandages apart and combined them into one strand. Without much effort, he tied the remaining sow meat to the second makeshift sled.

“We’ll each drag half of the way, and you follow behind me along the ridge!”

“okay!”

After simply making arrangements, Li Wentong pulled a sled and quickly dragged it to the ridge. Then Yue Feng followed, dragging another disposable sled. The father and son strode towards home.

Just as Yue Feng and Li Wentong were dragging the sow meat away, a huge black eagle flew over from a distance after hearing the gunshots. After circling over the woods several times to make sure it was safe, it quickly folded its wings and landed in the woods.

The big black eagle landed directly on the wild boar’s internal organs hanging on the tree, and began to eat the bright red pig heart meat which had not yet frozen solid.

Only when its crop was bulging with food did the big black eagle take off again with satisfaction. It flew nimbly through the mountains and forests, spread its wings and flew high in the area outside the valley, and soon disappeared into the air.

The first time they went into the mountains, they killed a wild boar, a male and a female, which weighed at least 400 kilograms. Even if the bad parts such as the pig skin, head and trotters were deducted, the net meat should be at least 300 kilograms. Now, the families will not lack meat to eat.

Keep some for yourself and send some to the coal mine canteen. The boar meat is not tasty, but the sow meat is good!

Yue Feng and Li Wentong, father and son, dragged the meat home along the ridge. It took them two and a half hours and they finally got down the mountain at around 1:00 p.m. By the time they returned to Yue Feng’s home in the village with the meat, it was already 1:30 p.m.

These days, there is nothing to do in winter, and most people stay at home. On the way back to the village while dragging the wild boar, I didn’t meet anyone except two villagers who occasionally went out.

After returning home and having a simple hot meal, the father and son once again pulled their sleds up the mountain.

Yue Feng and Li Wentong left, but the families became very busy.

Li Wentong’s wife, Yue Feng’s parents, and the mothers of the Zhang brothers all gathered at Yue’s house and were busy.

It’s time to boil water, peel the skin, and cut the meat. There are many people and the work can be done quickly. It won’t take long to clean up.

On the other side, Yue Feng and Li Wentong, father and son, pulled their family’s sled back into the mountains and returned to the first scene of the wild boar hunting along the original route.

The cannon testicles that had been gutted and bled were still lying on the ground without moving, but Yue Feng felt something was wrong when he approached it.

“What are you looking at, Xiaofeng?” Li Wentong was a little curious about Yue Feng’s reaction and asked casually.

“Uncle, something is wrong! Look at the bloodstains on the ground!” Yue Feng pointed to several extra bloodstains on the snow.

The next second, Yue Feng looked up with some curiosity, and his eyes fell on the lantern hanging on the tree branch.

The originally intact pig heart was eaten by something, and half of it was eaten. The blood in the heart dripped from the tree, forming a trace on the snow on the ground that was not there before.

“I don’t know what ate the pig heart on the tree!” Yue Feng said with certainty.

Li Wentong was not surprised: “It’s normal, many animals can climb up such a short branch, including eagles, crows and other birds, they all eat meat!

It is passed down from the older generation that when you hunt, you must offer sacrifices to the mountain god. What is the mountain god?

In fact, these are creatures that have difficulty finding food because the mountains are blocked by heavy snow.

Stop studying, come and give me a hand, let’s split this cannonball’s spine, so it will be easier to pull on the sled!”

“Okay!” After Li Wentong said this, Yue Feng stopped hesitating and immediately helped to work.

This time, Li Wentong put a sharp axe on his lower back. Yue Feng was responsible for holding the pig’s legs. Li Wentong aimed at the area near the pig’s spine, swung the axe and started chopping. After working for more than half an hour, he successfully cut the big boar into two.

Secure each fan on the sled with a rope and go home!!!
It was another long journey. Fortunately, they had a full meal on their way back at noon, otherwise they would have been unable to bear dragging such heavy objects for such a long time.

When the two men dragged the sled out of the mountain again, it was already evening. Lights were on in every household in the village, and occasionally the barking of dogs could be heard.

The two of them pulled the sled to the door of their house. Hearing the noise, Meng Yulan quickly came out to greet them.

“This pig is not small!” Meng Yulan couldn’t help but sigh when she saw the wild boar tied to the sled.

Li Wentong straightened his back and took a breath, saying, “It’s a little smaller than that old sow, but it’s still about 200 pounds! This is a cannonball. Look at its teeth. If it gets picked up, it’s going to be in trouble!”

Yue Feng was more concerned about the delivery, and asked as soon as he entered the yard: “Mom, has Xiao Tao returned from delivering the goods?”

“I’m back. We’re all in the house! We’ve almost finished cleaning up the meat we brought back at noon and are cooking it in the pot! You two must be freezing cold. Come in and warm up!”

Hearing the noise, everyone in the house came out. A few women wanted to use the dim light to clean up the pigs they had just dragged back, but were stopped by Yue Feng.

“Let’s bury the pig in the snow first! It’s getting dark and we can’t see clearly. We can clean it up tomorrow! It doesn’t matter now, let’s all go inside!”

After hearing what her son said, Meng Yulan realized that now that it was snowing and the temperature had dropped, there was no need to worry about the pork going bad. She could bury it in the snow and eat it until spring.

As soon as Yue Feng and Li Wentong entered the house, they were immediately met with envious gazes from everyone.

Yue Lei smiled and said, “You two are quite creative. You went into the mountains and brought back two wild boars!”

Li Wentong took the gun off his shoulder and hung it behind the door, saying, “There were eight or nine pigs in that litter, and Xiaofeng and I followed the trail for more than a minute before we found the valley where we could rest.

If it hadn’t been for this cannonball charging towards the two of us, we could have at least saved one or two more pigs!”

When Xiao Tao and his friends came back, they had already seen the old sow that was dragged back on the first trip. They also heard that a sow that dared to charge at people after hearing the gunshot was shot, and they all became excited.

“Will those pigs return to that area tomorrow? If not, let’s go and hunt them again tomorrow!” Xiao Tao asked.

Li Wentong shook his head: “Wild boars are not very courageous. They will start running when they hear the gunshots and probably won’t stop until the afternoon when they are fed. It’s hard to say how long it will last, but they will definitely not dare to come back to this place in the short term!”

“That’s a pity. We only killed two pigs out of seven or eight. I heard from my uncle Zhao that the smaller two-year-old and yellow-haired pigs taste better!” Xiao Tao said with a hint of regret in his tone.

Yue Feng smiled and looked at his silly brother: “That’s good! Not long after we went up the mountain, we encountered obvious traces of a herd of pigs. If we run around aimlessly and don’t see any living things after wandering around the mountain, it’s normal!”

Yue Lei asked Li Wentong again: “How did Xiaofeng perform when he followed us up the mountain?”

Li Wentong said from the bottom of his heart: “Xiaofeng is born to be a hunter. He uses his brain when tracking. I asked him to explore the way, and he knew to take a detour to avoid scaring the pigs. He is not afraid to kill and gut a wild boar. If I follow him up the mountain twice, he will definitely be able to handle it on his own!”

“So, shall we go up the mountain tomorrow?” Xiao Tao also became very interested in going up the mountain after hearing his father’s high evaluation of Yue Feng. With the 56 and a half, they encountered a herd of wild boars in the mountains. If they were lucky, they could catch more than one pig. Xiao Tao also wanted to follow his father into the mountains to have some fun.

“Xiaofeng, are you okay with going up the mountain tomorrow?” Li Wentong did not rush to make a decision, but turned his head to look at Yue Feng.

In one day, they walked back and forth on the mountain twice and dragged back two wild boars weighing several hundred kilograms. The physical exertion was very alarming. Even though they can still talk and laugh now, it is hard to say whether they can go up the mountain when they are tired again.

Yue Feng doesn’t like to act big-heartedly in this kind of thing. He was exhausted after dragging the two pigs back today. His calves are still throbbing and swollen, and it would be difficult for him to recover after a good sleep.

“Uncle, please take Xiao Tao and the others with you. I need to rest for a day. My legs can’t take it!”

In fact, Li Wentong was also tired, but after all, he had been to the battlefield and was in his prime. His physical fitness was very strong and he could still hold on.

Seeing the eager eyes of his son and Xiaowen and Xiaowu, Li Wenyi gritted his teeth and said, “Then let’s go another day tomorrow!
Tomorrow we will have more people, and when we go, we will pull a sled. If we can kill a large animal, we can cook it up on the mountain and bring the meat back directly!”
