“Uncle, Big Brother.”
Lin Yu, with a calm face and steady breath, carried the wild boar for five or six miles through the mountain path. Finally, as he approached the foot of the mountain, he met his uncle, Lin Baojia, and his older brother, Lin Jiang.
“Father, Xiao Yu.” Lin Baojia asked, “Father, are you alright?”
“I’m very well, my grandson is filial, he hasn’t let this old man suffer.” Lin Lao Ye, the grandfather, chuckled.
Lin Baojia looked at his father, carrying two rifles on his back, a rabbit and a pheasant hanging from his waist, and two quails tucked in his pockets.
His father's appearance, no matter how you looked at it, didn’t resemble a proper hunter. He looked more like a bandit.
Did this old man rob some hunter?
“Xiao Yu, quickly put down the boar, your big brother and I will carry it down.” The uncle said as he reached out for the wild boar on Lin Yu's shoulder.
Lin Yu shook his head, “Uncle, no need, we’re almost home, I’ll just carry it back, it’s more convenient.”
“What are you talking about, child? You want to ruin your body?” His uncle was immediately worried hearing Lin Yu’s words.
Lin Lao Ye, the grandfather, waved his hand, “Eldest son, let Xiao Yu carry it.”
“Father, you’re also getting senile… ouch, Father, why did you kick me?” Lin Baojia couldn’t finish his words before receiving a kick from his father.
“You little brat, what kind of tone are you using with me?” The grandfather said angrily.
“Look at your nephew, he walked down this long mountain path, his face isn’t even flushed, he doesn’t even have a drop of sweat on his forehead.”
“Just let this kid carry it, I want to see how much he can actually carry. With the two of us watching, his body won’t be ruined.”
Lin Baojia, upon hearing this, also looked closely at Lin Yu.
Just as his father said, there wasn’t a drop of sweat on his forehead.
You have to know, this was the peak of summer, the temperature was over ninety degrees Fahrenheit. Forget about carrying such a large wild boar on a mountain path, even walking this far empty-handed would make you sweat.
“Xiao Yu, are you okay?” Lin Baojia asked curiously.
Lin Yu shook his head, “Uncle, don’t worry, I wouldn’t lie to you, this weight is nothing.”
Lin Baojia could only take the two rifles his father was carrying and handed the pheasant and rabbit to his son.
Since the child was fine, then let him try. Lin Baojia was also curious about his nephew’s strength, after all, he was watching over him, nothing could go wrong.
“Little brother, if you can’t carry it anymore, just speak up, don’t force yourself.” Lin Jiang said.
The four of them, grandfather, father, older brother, and younger brother, started to descend the mountain.
After an hour, the four finally arrived home.
Lin Nai Nai, the grandmother, and the eldest daughter-in-law had already boiled a large pot of water, waiting for the four to return and process the prey.
“Aiya, Lin Lao Ba, you old geezer, how could you let my grandson carry a whole pig by himself?”
Seeing the old lady wielding a spatula towards him, the old man quickly ducked and pushed his eldest grandson, Lin Jiang, in front of him.
“Go explain to your grandmother.”
The old lady saw that it was her grandson, and immediately lowered the spatula.
This was her own grandson, she couldn’t hit him.
Lin Lao Ye quickly hid to the side and carefully observed his grandson.
He clearly remembered that his grandson, with a quick flick of his wrists, had pulled out two pistols.
Looking at Lin Yu, who was flushed with excitement and showed no signs of fatigue, the old man didn’t ask anything.
His grandson had his own adventures, as long as he was developing in a positive direction, it was fine.
Lin Lao Ye, at his age, had experienced the darkest times, what couldn’t he understand?
“Eldest son, first take care of the pig head, have your wife stew it tonight.”
Lin Baojia saw the cracked skull of the pig head, and understood his father's intentions.
After letting the wild boar bleed out, he took the axe and chopped off the pig head, casually throwing it into the nearby bonfire.
You can't eat the pig head without burning off the hair.
“Son, you take care of the rest.” Lin Baojia said to Lin Jiang.
Lin Jiang nodded, he had seen the wound on the pig’s head.
Wow, even the M1911, a powerful pistol, couldn’t cause this kind of damage, he wondered what his grandfather and Xiao Yu used to do it.
Could it be that they carried a machine gun up the mountain?
Lin Baojia burned the pig head, scraped it clean, and then split it in half with the axe, letting his wife stew it.
While Lin Jiang had finished cutting up the pork, the old lady used salt to marinate the extra meat.
The dinner that night was very sumptuous for the Lin family.
Pork and scallion dumplings, stir-fried wild boar heart and liver, and cucumbers and peppers from their own garden.
“Old grandson, now that you’ve hunted a wild boar, we don’t need to go up the mountain anymore, right?” The old lady said to Lin Yu, who was wolfing down his food.
“Grandma, it’s fine, just treat it as going to the mountain for a walk,” Lin Yu said while swallowing the food in his mouth.
Lin Lao Ye and his eldest son, Lin Baojia, each held a cup of white wine, taking small sips.
They couldn’t help but look at Lin Yu, both father and grandfather frowning from time to time.
They both saw in Lin Yu's eyes that excitement that comes after taking a life. This made the grandfather worry about Lin Yu even more.
Wild beasts in the mountains, only those who have seen blood can be considered fierce. Those who haven’t seen blood are just animals.
Humans are the same, after all, humans are also animals. Once they can't control their bloodlust, they will kill for their desires, and people will sink along with it.
“Old woman, stop worrying about your grandson, Xiao Yu is a capable child, nothing will happen to him.”
“Yes, Mom, we were all the same age as Xiao Yu, who didn’t go out?” Lin Baojia chimed in.
After dinner, the old man lit his pipe and said to his sons and grandsons, “Eldest son, eldest grandson, youngest grandson, let’s go for a walk.”
Lin Yu chuckled, the old man finally couldn’t hold it in anymore.
The four of them got up and walked out of the courtyard.
“Youngest grandson, tell me about it.”
Lin Yu shrugged and pulled out two revolvers from his waist and handed them to his grandfather.
The silver-white, cold gun body, the thick barrel, exuded an air of violent beauty.
“Good heavens, the bullets for this pistol are so big.” The old man took out a bullet and said.
“Grandpa, this is a pistol developed by the Eagle Nation, specifically for hunting. I got these two by chance.” Lin Yu explained.
The old man passed the pistol to his eldest son and eldest grandson, and then put it back in Lin Yu’s hand.
