Chapter 935 Food
Under Ahai's control, the fishing boat finally sailed out of the reefs and headed towards the port. When the fishing boat slowly docked at the pier, the storm gradually subsided. The villagers had been waiting on the shore for a long time, and cheers came one after another when they saw the fishing boats returning with full loads. Ahai looked at the happy faces of the people, and a smile appeared on his tired face. That night, the lights of Nanwan Fishing Village were brightly lit. The villagers sat together and shared the joy of the harvest. The aroma of grilled grouper filled the air, the children chased and played on the beach, and the adults raised their glasses to drink and thank the sea for its gift. Ahai sat on the reef by the sea, looking at the sparkling sea. The moonlight sprinkled on the sea, and layers of silver light appeared. He thought of the thrilling experience during the day, and his heart was filled with emotion. In this vast sea, every trip to the sea is an adventure, but it is this adventure that makes him feel the power of life and the meaning of living. In the distance, a new round of sunrise is slowly rising above the sea level, and the golden light sprinkles on the sea, coating this small fishing village with a layer of brilliant colors. Ah Hai knows that a new day has begun, and he and his companions will continue to write their own stories on this sea. The cold wind swept the dead leaves across Qingya Village, and the last few leaves on the old locust tree at the entrance of the village rustled. Chen Tie squatted in his yard, sharpening his hunting knife, and the blade made a "rustling" sound on the bluestone. The blade reflected his wrinkled face, and the scar at the corner of his eye was the mark left by last year's tiger hunting. "Uncle Tie, are you really going into the mountains?" The tiger boy next door held a gunpowder gun, and his voice was full of excitement and nervousness. This was the first time for the sixteen-year-old boy to hunt, and the gun barrel was clenched in his hand until it turned white. Chen Tie raised his head and looked at the misty Black Wind Ridge in the distance. It was the most dangerous mountain forest within a hundred miles. It was rumored that there were man-eating tigers and wild boars that became spirits. But the snow fell early this year, and the village's granary was empty. If they don't go hunting, they may not survive this winter. "Pack your gear and set off at Yinshi." He inserted the hunting knife into his waist, and the copper buckle on the scabbard made a crisp sound. The mountain village was still asleep at Yinshi, and Chen Tie led seven villagers out of the village in the dark. Hu Wa followed the team with half a bag of corn cakes on his back. The mountain road was rugged, and frost flowers formed a layer of white frost on the dead grass, which made a "crunching" sound when stepped on. After walking for about two hours, the sky turned pale, and the outline of Black Wind Ridge gradually became clear. "Everyone cheer up!" Chen Tie lowered his voice, "This forest is weird, don't run around if you hear any noise." As soon as he finished speaking, a shrill wolf howl came from a distance, echoing in the valley. Hu Wa trembled all over and almost fell. The team walked carefully into the depths of the forest. Suddenly, Chen Tie stretched out his hand to stop everyone. There were fresh claw marks on the dead leaves in front, as big as a bowl, with dark red blood stains on the edges. "It's a tiger." He squatted down and picked up a hairy dead leaf with his fingers, "and it's nearby." Everyone held their breath and clenched their weapons. Hu Wa's gunpowder gun was shaking, and he tried to recall what Chen Tie had taught him: "Aim, don't panic." But the heartbeat made his eardrums hurt. At this moment, the bushes on the right suddenly shook violently, and a tiger roared and pounced out! "Shoot!" Chen Tie shouted. The gunshot exploded in the forest, but only scratched the tiger's fur. The tiger felt pain and turned to pounce on Hu Wa. At the critical moment, Chen Tie flew forward and stabbed the tiger's hind legs with his hunting knife. The tiger felt pain and swept Chen Tie to the ground with its tail. Its sharp claws scratched three bloody marks on his back. "Uncle Tie!" Hu Wa's eyes were red, and he raised his gun and shot again. This time the bullet hit the tiger's abdomen. The tiger screamed and fell to the ground. Its limbs twitched a few times and then it stopped moving. Chen Tie struggled to get up and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth: "It's okay. Be careful. There may be more than one in this forest." They continued to go deeper and found a group of wild boars in a valley. More than a dozen wild boars were digging the soil for food, and their fangs flashed coldly. Chen Tie signaled everyone to disperse and prepare to outflank. Hu Wa hid behind a tree, his palms full of sweat. Suddenly, the dead branches under his feet made a crisp "click" sound. The wild boars raised their heads alertly, and the leading boar let out a low roar. In an instant, the whole herd rushed over like an arrow from a string! Chen Tie shouted: "Shoot!" Several sharp arrows broke through the air and shot several wild boars, but more wild boars rushed over frantically. Hu Wa's gunpowder gun jammed, and he looked at the rushing wild boars in despair and closed his eyes. At the critical moment, Chen Tie threw out a rope, caught the boar's tusks, and pulled it aside. Other villagers took the opportunity to shoot and finally dispersed the wild boars. After a fierce battle, they harvested three wild boars. Everyone was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but the sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds and raindrops as big as beans fell. Chen Tie looked at the gloomy sky with a solemn face: "Oh no, it's mountain rain! Find a place to hide from the rain!" The mountain rain came quickly and turned into a downpour in a blink of an eye. The rain mixed with mud made the mountain road extremely slippery. Chen Tie took everyone to hide in a cave, and a deafening thunder came from the cave entrance. Hu Wa huddled in a corner, soaked all over, and his teeth kept chattering. "Don't be afraid, this rain won't stop for a while." Chen Tie took off his coat and wrung out the water, "Take off your wet clothes, don't get cold." He took out a tinder from his arms and started a fire in the cave. The flames jumped, illuminating everyone's tired faces. The rain lasted for two hours before it stopped. When they walked out of the cave, they found that the road they came from was destroyed by the mudslide. Chen Tie looked at the mess in front of him with a frown. "Although it's dangerous to take the path in the back mountain, we can get back to the village." He pointed to the steep cliff. The path in the back mountain was almost covered with vines and bushes, and everyone could only use hunting knives to clear the way. Hu Wa accidentally stepped on the air and almost fell off the cliff, but fortunately he was pulled by Chen Tie. "Hold on to the vines and take it slowly." Chen Tie's voice was steady and powerful, giving everyone confidence. When they finally walked out of the forest, the moon had climbed above the treetops. From a distance, they saw the lanterns at the entrance of the village swaying in the cold wind. The villagers were holding torches and waiting anxiously. Seeing them return safely, cheers suddenly rang out. That night, the long-lost smell of meat wafted through Qingya Village. Chen Tie sat in the yard and let his wife bandage his wounds. Hu Wa held a bowl of steaming wild boar meat, his eyes sparkling: "Uncle Tie, I want to be a great hunter like you in the future!" Chen Tie smiled and touched Hu Wa's head. He looked at the starry sky, thinking of the thrilling moments in the mountains and forests, and felt a lot of emotions in his heart.
