C416 He Left the Xia Village
At three o'clock in the afternoon, a total of 57 wild rabbits and 13 deer were shot.
A wild rabbit weighed three to five kilograms, and the fat one weighed seven to eight kilograms. If it was brought to the county town to buy, one jin was fifty kilograms, and the deer was even more expensive. One jin was eighty kilograms.
Just the income from hunting today, if converted into money, would be close to forty thousand yuan.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
The best hunter would need at least three days to come out of the mountain. It would be good enough to bring five or six rabbits out. Only if he was lucky would he be able to beat the deer.
This was because the deer could not be killed with a handgun unless it was very close to him. However, the deer was much more alert than a rabbit. It would usually run away from a hundred meters away.
The autumn and winter season was the season to enter the mountains. If one entered the mountains twice a month, he could get more than a thousand yuan in income. In three months, he could get about three thousand yuan.
Moreover, this was the best hunter to have this income.
Ordinary villagers entered the mountains. So, on average, they could earn about 57,800 per month by hunting.
But today, they earned 40,000 dollars a day. Even if six people split it, it would still be 6,000 to 6,000 dollars.
This day's income was equivalent to a family's annual income.
When Xia Chengye and Third Uncle looked at Yang Qiu's hunting spear, their eyes were no longer filled with envy. That was simply a naked desire.
As for the three youngsters, they almost drooled from the corner of their mouths.
When they returned home at four o'clock, the few families were already living together. When they saw the car coming back, they all came over to take a look at the harvest. When they saw the large pile of rabbits and deer that was thrown out of the car, everyone was dumbfounded.
The wounds on this kind of shotgun were small and few. It was unlike a handgun. When a shotgun was shot out, the rabbit's skin would also be torn apart. When it was eaten, it could even eat iron balls.
Using a shotgun to beat a rabbit could be sold for a higher price.
Yang Qiu did not stand on ceremony. Third Uncle, Big Brother Min, and his other two years' family members each had five rabbits and a deer. As for the rest, he stayed behind to let Xia Yu's mother treat them and bring them back to send them away.
This kind of green and pollution-free good would definitely be a hot commodity if it was brought to Shang Hai.
Yang Qiu simply gave the five-shot shotgun to Xia Chengye.
Xia Chengye would not be able to use up the thousands of bullets he had brought along even if it took him three to five years.
Xia Chengye almost laughed until his mouth could not close. He felt the envy and jealousy in everyone's eyes and was even more pleased with himself.
As expected of his son-in-law. He had kept all the good stuff for his father-in-law.
With this good fellow, it was also time for his handgun to retire.
Furthermore, this shotgun was not only used to show off, it was also a livelihood for the family.
Just think about it, even if the family stopped farming in spring and summer, they would only wait for autumn and winter to enter the mountains. If they could have today's harvests added up, what would their small lives be like?
Xia Chengye would immediately become the richest man in the village. Compared to working in the cities outside, he would earn more money.
Furthermore, he could rest for a year, so he was not tired at all.
After splitting the prey, everyone reluctantly went home. When Big Brother Min left, he wanted to shamelessly borrow Xia Chengye's hunting rifle, but was immediately rejected by Xia Chengye.
Xia's Mother couldn't help but laugh and scold.
"Old thing, you can carry this thing to sleep tonight. "
Xia Chengye laughed.
"Isn't that right?"
Xia Yu gave Yang Qiu a grateful look, then started to move the prey back home. These things had to be processed, or else they might be broken.
In the next few days, Yang Qiu accompanied Xia Yu at home to relax. He even helped her remove weeds and pick feces. He actually did it well.
Just like that, after three days, Yang Qiu knew it was time to leave.
When he left, no one was informed. Because he knew that once uncle and the others found out about his departure, Lau Yunxu's car wouldn't be able to contain the things sent by these simple villagers.
On the first night, Xia's Mother prepared something. In the past few days, there were not many chicken eggs in the house. Xia's Mother borrowed a lot from the neighbors. There was a total of two thousand eggs, and they were covered with grass and ash. This way, they were not afraid of the bumpy road and placed four large cardboard boxes.
That was not all. Yang Qiu shamelessly asked for another two hundred kilograms of rice, and then he asked for all kinds of wild fruits. Finally, there were five deer, twenty fat rabbits, a pig's hind leg, and a piece of marinated pork ribs.
"Alright, it's getting late. You guys drive again. Be careful on the road!"
Xia Chengye held back the reluctance in his heart and looked at Yang Qiu sadly.
"Yang Qiu, I will leave the girl to you!"
Yang Qiu nodded but Xia Yu threw herself into Xia's Mother's arms and silently shed tears. Xia's Mother also held back the tears in her eyes and said with a smile,
"Damned girl, you should be happy. Sooner or later you will be married out. Why are you crying? We are almost leaving. After the New Year, remember to come back and see us. "
Xia Yu nodded and wiped her face with reluctance. Then, she prepared to leave.
Yang Qiu waved his hand and set up a Barrier. Then, he took out two storage rings and said solemnly.
"Uncle, Auntie, you must remember this. This thing must be kept well. When we go back, I will let Xia Yu tell you how to use it. I will leave this maritime satellite phone to you. You must not tell anyone about this thing, even Uncle. Do you understand?"
Xia Chengye and Xia's Mother were shocked by Yang Qiu's appearance. Xia Yu also said very seriously from the side.
"Dad, Mom, just listen to him. That's right. Look, I have one too! "
Xia Chengye saw that Xia Yu also had the same ring on her finger, so he carefully put it away.
Yang Qiu and Xia Yu had just walked out, and both of them were stunned.
On the side of the road, there were black masses of villagers. They were all carrying things on their hands, baskets or pockets, which were stored inside. They were all the best specialties in the family.
"Young man Yang!"
Uncle walked over shakily. He smashed his crutch on Yang Qiu's thigh and cursed.
"You brat, you want to run away secretly like this?"
For some reason, Yang Qiu felt an impulse to cry in his heart. He looked at these simple and honest villagers and could not help but tear up. It had been a long time. He couldn't say a word.
He opened the door and said loudly:
"Everyone, fill it up. I'll pull it away!"
Big Brother Min and Third Uncle walked up. They put the things in their hands into the car. Big Brother Min gave Yang Qiu a big hug.
"Brother-in-law, the next time you come back, take us into the mountains to hunt!"
"Okay!"
A few more Xia Yu's uncles walked over, each carrying a bag.
"Yang Qiu, our whole village thanks you!"
"Yeah, you are our benefactor!"
Soon, the car could not be stuffed anymore. In the end, it was uncle who came out and everyone gave up.
Yang Qiu squeezed into the car with great difficulty and started the car. He looked at the villagers by the road and held Xia Yu's hand. He said softly,
"Next year, we will bring Soft Feather, Lau Yunxu, and Qin Zong here to play. "
