Chapter 32: A Huge Yield (2/2)
”...”
The Northern Mountain Village hunting squad finally yielded, and surrendered one by one. Even though some were reluctant, but when they thought of their heads really being peed on, how were they going to live with this next time?
Ding Qingshan’s feelings were complicated. He didn't know where he should be happy or gloomy.
But, this dilemma didn't last for long.
”Ha ha ha… this time our yield is huge!” Looking at the prey the Northern Mountain Village hunting squad detached from themselves and held in their hand, Ding Qingshan couldn't stop smiling.
”Uncle Qingshan, there is a huge tied-up pig over there!” Fang Zhengzhi didn't actually know the Metal-Toothed Thorn Hog’s real name, but, he could guess that this was the best catch for the Northern Mountain Village this time.
Because, that pig was huge, its meat was plentiful!
”You all… shameless!” When Zhang Yangping heard Fang Zhengzhi's words, his face instantly changed. The value of that one Metal-Toothed Thorn Hog was even greater than the combined worth of all the prey on their bodies.
Most importantly, in order to hunt that Metal-Toothed Thorn Hog down, the Northern Mountain Village people had suffered multiple injuries.
Yet now…
It had been snatched away by the Southern Mountain Village just like that, how could he accept it?
”Huge pig? Don't tell me it's the Metal-Toothed Thorn Hog!” The eyes of a member of the Southern Mountain Village hunting squad lit up. That was the real treasure. Even if one roamed the mountains for a year, it would still be difficult to encounter this.
”You few watch over them, we'll go over and take a look… Zhengzhi, lead the way!” Hearing this, Ding Qingshan's excitement rose.
”Okay.” Fang Zhengzhi nodded.
…
Very quickly, led by Fang Zhengzhi, Ding Qingshan and the team rapidly arrived in front of the Metal-Toothed Thorn Hog.
”Oh great God, it's really the Metal-Toothed Thorn Hog, it's even a matured Metal-Toothed Thorn Hog. Those two metal tusks are indeed sharp, who would have thought that the Northern Mountain Village hunting squad would be able to take this beast down!’ A hunter exclaimed.
”What a huge yield, this time our yield is really huge indeed!” Looking at the tied-up Metal-Toothed Thorn Hog in front of them, the Southern Mountain Village hunting squad beamed delightedly.
”Ha ha ha… what are you all waiting for? Others have already tied this up nicely for us, let's not wait anymore and bring this Metal-Toothed Thorn Hog away!” Ding Qingshan's face was bright red with delight. This day’s yield was even more than that of this entire month.
A matured Metal-Toothed Thorn Hog was definitely a surprise gift from Heaven.
Everybody instantly sprang into action.
”Zhengzhi, you can watch from the side, we won't trouble you. Let us carry this!” A member of the hunting squad patted Fang Zhengzhi's shoulders. The look in his eyes was as if he had just seen treasure.
”Ha ha…” Fang Zhengzhi laughed. He never planned to help out. This kind of physical work naturally belonged to the adults. He was only seven, there were some things he had to be ”considerate”.
...
As usual, Village Chief Meng Bai was holding his cigar, anxiousness showing slightly in his eyes. In this period of time, the yield of the Southern Mountain Village hunting squad had become lower and lower.
Now, the entire hundred over households in the village didn't even have enough to eat.
He was also considering having a meeting with the Northern Mountain Village. They couldn't go on like this.
”If this can't work, we can only bribe them with some money!” Village Chief Meng Bai gritted his teeth, and made a difficult decision.
”Come quick! The hunting squad came back with game today, what a huge yield! There are dozens of game, and even a Metal-Toothed Thorn Hog!”
Village Chief Meng Bai, still gritting his teeth, was stunned, then, the worried expression on his face immediately turned into one of pure ecstasy. Dozens of game? And even a Metal-Toothed Thorn Hog?!
Oh God, this was the biggest yield in years!
”Quick, hurry up, send all the strong people in the village to receive the hunting squad!” Village Chief immediately began to call out. He recognised that this news came from the hunting squad advance party.
”Roger… Roger!” A villager heard, and was just as delighted.
The hunting squad had a huge yield. This extremely good piece of news was enough to delight the entire village.
