Siheyuan: Big City, Small Love

"Uncle, look at what kind of gun I have here? This is a rifle. It can fire ten bullets in a row. It is also very powerful. If it hits the head, it will kill you."

He Lai pointed to the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle in his hand and said.

"Ah, is this rifle so powerful?" He Zhong looked at the rifle in He Lai's hand in surprise and asked in disbelief.

"Well, uncle, this gun is very powerful. Don't underestimate it because it is smaller than a hunting rifle. One shot can penetrate a wild boar's head. Wait, let's get closer and shoot when we are about 50 meters away. You guys are responsible for the wild boars that rush over, and I will shoot them."

He Lai ordered.

"Okay, let's listen to Xiao Laizi." Uncle nodded.

Several people followed He Lai step by step towards the wild boar and came behind a big rock.

He Lai began to position the gun and prepared to shoot. He looked at He Zhong and the others, and after getting a response, he began to shoot with full concentration.

The sound of gunfire, "Bang, bang, bang", rang out immediately. He Lai was no longer a rookie. His shooting skills were already quite good. After firing one shot, he began to aim at the next wild boar.

Before the wild boars could react, three big ones had already fallen down.

As the wild boar began to stand up and start to run away, He Lai fired four more shots, hitting two of them.

There were also two big wild boars running around and running towards He Lai, but were shot to death by He Zhong and his men.

Soon, there were dead wild boars all over the ground. He Zhong and his companions immediately went over and shot them again to prevent them from faking their deaths.

All the wild boars were gathered together, a total of seven big wild boars, and the golden eagle also caught two small wild boars.

There should be wild boars in here that He Lai released from the space. They are very large, and the largest one is estimated to weigh more than 400 kilograms.

"Xiao Laizi, how are we going to take so many wild boars back?" The uncle looked at the wild boars and felt a little worried.

"Then let's get some tree trunks and make a sled and pull it slowly. We can't leave it here, as it will easily attract other wild animals."

He Lai said, it was a good thing he brought the rope, otherwise it would have been difficult to do.

"Okay, let's do it quickly." He Zhong agreed and started looking for a tree trunk.

Soon, several people made a simple sled, put all the wild boars on the sled, and also put two golden eagles on it.

The He Zhong brothers took over the rope without hesitation, acted as the old ox, and pulled it up, while He Lai and Xiao Hu pushed hard from both sides.

It was not easy to walk on this snowy road. They kept stopping and starting, which made the two brothers He Zhong very tired. But they wanted to show off their abilities and refused to let He Lai and the other two go, so they could only walk slowly forward.

By the time we reached the exit of the mountains, almost four hours had passed.

"They are here!" someone suddenly shouted. He Lai and his companions looked up and saw that it was the villagers who came to look for them.

Soon many villagers gathered together, which allowed He Lai and his companions to relax and no longer worry about any wild beasts.

Everyone was excited when they saw a bunch of wild boars on the sled.

"Hey! Hey! Hey! What are you doing? You are all drooling. I'm telling you, don't think about going after the wild boar! We've been delaying for hours! We can only give you one bite of food at most."

He Zhong quickly stopped in front of them and said.

It is no longer a big cafeteria, and He Zhongke is unwilling to share his own things with them.

"Brother Zhong, don't forget that the prey caught by our Hejia Village must be divided equally among the villagers. You can't take it all by yourself!" A middle-aged man stepped forward and said with a smile.

"Stop it, you arrogant dog! Why have you never shared out the wild rabbits in He Laoliu's house? You think you have to share other people's things, but you keep your things for yourself? Where's your dignity?"

He Zhong immediately cursed.

The matter of dividing the prey when hunting actually depends on the villagers' voluntary submission, and the superiors cannot force the villagers to do so. If some people do not comply, naturally more and more people will choose not to give.

When the middle-aged man heard what He Zhong said, his face turned red all of a sudden. After all, their two families lived close to each other, and they couldn't hide anything happening at home from each other.

"Besides, this wild boar was caught by my son Xiao Laizi. He is not from our Hejia Village. If you want to take this wild boar to their factory for delivery, forget it! Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

He Zhong continued, and then started pulling the sled again.

He Lai and his companions didn't say anything. They just lowered their heads and continued to pull the sled. It was really too much to try to take advantage of others right from the start.

Soon He Zhong and his companions came out of the mountains. Grandpa He and Grandpa Wu had been waiting there for a long time.

When Mr. He saw so many wild boars, he quickly asked the Wu family to go up and help. At the same time, he also complained to his fellow villagers for not helping.

Little did he know that the villagers wanted to help but He Zhong wouldn't let them!

Mr. He and a few others joined in, and soon the wild boar was carried to the He family.

Old Mrs. He and a few others had heard the news long ago and started boiling water to prepare for slaughtering the pig.

He Lai didn't care about what happened afterwards. He was exhausted after dragging the pig for several hours. He Zhong and his friends lay down as soon as they got home.

After all, pulling a wild boar weighing several thousand kilograms is not an easy job.

Upon hearing the news, the village chief He Genshui rushed over and wanted to get a share from Grandpa He, but Grandpa He was very tough this time and refused to give anything. After all, the wild boar was brought back to the factory by He Lai for delivery, and it could not be shared with the villagers.

In the end, they only agreed to distribute some pig offal to the villagers.

After He Lai had rested enough in bed, he came to Grandpa He’s room and left the golden eagle there.

There were people in Mr. He's room. The He family and the Wu family were all there, even Dahu's wife and children were there. After all, they were not registered in the city, and now the ration was small and the food was expensive! They were reluctant to buy the high-priced food, and Dahu was embarrassed to ask He Lai and his family for help all the time, so he had to send his wife and children back to the countryside.

"Oh, you must be hungry, little Laizi. Grandma will get you some meat right away."

When Mrs. He saw He coming, she immediately got up and went to the kitchen to get the meat.

"Little Lai, come and sit here with grandpa." Old Man He waved to He Lai.

"Okay." He Lai sat down immediately.

"Are the two eagles in the house? Do you want your grandmother to bring some meat over?"

"No need, I've fed them." He Lai replied quickly.

The two golden eagles are in a bad mood now. They don’t even look at ordinary meat and only eat the food from He Lai’s space.

Soon, Old Lady He came over with a bowl of lean meat. She knew that He Lai didn't like fatty meat, so she specially picked the tendon meat on the pig's trotter.

"Thank you grandma. Have you all eaten?" He Lai took the bowl and asked.

"I've eaten it, I've eaten it, but you haven't eaten it yet." Old Mrs. He said with a smile.

In this way, the family watched He Lai eating meat alone, talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was very good.

"Xiao Laizi, I heard that there is no food in the city now. Is it true?"

The second aunt asked.

"Well... that's true, but it's not to the point where we can't eat. We can still eat our fill," He Lai explained.

"Are the eldest and the others okay? I'm very worried about these kids who don't even know how to come back to see me." Second aunt asked again.

"Brother Da Wa should be fine. He's working in the steel mill now. He should have no problem getting enough food. Sister Daya should be doing well in the state-owned store. It seems she has a boyfriend. You should all know about that, right? As for Sister San Ya, I'm not too concerned about her. She's a bit far from where I live. But she shouldn't be in trouble. The food in the factory is good. She won't starve."

He Lai recalled.

"It's okay. The main thing is that my eldest son hasn't come back for a long time, and I miss him a little." The second aunt didn't care about Daya and Sanya, but talked about Da Wa instead. After all, he was the only child in the family.

"If you miss Big Brother Wa, just go and see him. He's not far away. There's an empty room at Big Brother Wa's place now. It's nothing to do there if you go and stay for a few days."

He Lai smiled.

"Really? The eldest son got a house? How many rooms does it have? I don't even know." When the second aunt heard that the eldest son got a house, she immediately said happily.

"There are two, quite big ones, not far from my place. You can go and have a look when you have time."

Upon hearing this, the second aunt said immediately, "Okay, okay, I'll go over and take a look tomorrow. This kid works every day, and I don't know if he has a boyfriend. Da Hu and Xiao Hu are both married, but he's still single."

He Lai could only smile awkwardly. He really didn't know whether Da Wa had a boyfriend or not. He even heard about Daya's boyfriend from Sister Feng'er.

After the second aunt asked, the eldest aunt and the eldest aunt also started to ask He Lai about their children, and He Lai responded with a smile.
