Chapter 1032 — The Strongman Ergoudan
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
But everything has its novelty, and once the novelty wears off, no one finds it strange anymore! It was the same with Ergoudan. After that he went on to kill wolves, wild boars, vultures, and a whole string of fierce beasts, until by now everyone took it for granted!
Ergoudan tossed the boar to the ground and said, "Everyone divide it up as you see fit. What you cannot eat, leave for my dad to sell!"
Ergoudan was a simple, kind-hearted fellow who never kept his gains to himself. After every hunt he thought of the folks of Xixingshan Village and gave them something for free, so everyone thought the world of him!
In truth, everyone drooled over wild boar meat! Wild boar was more than ordinary men could handle. As the saying goes, "First the boar, then the bear, then the tiger," meaning a boar is even more dangerous than a bear or a tiger!
Only Ergoudan could kill a boar with ease. Anyone else might well have been gored to death by it.
With that, Ergoudan ran quickly toward Widow Wang's house at the head of the village, while the remaining villagers cheerfully set about dressing the boar for him!
Of course, they were not greedy people. Though they took some of the pork for themselves, they took only the cuts that sold poorly. The cuts that sold well, like the hocks and such, they always saved for Ergoudan!
Ergoudan ran eagerly into the general store and picked up the phone. "Hello?"
"Ergoudan, it is me, Wei Zhao." Hearing Ergoudan's voice, Wei Zhao said with a smile.
"Brother Wei Zhao, I guessed it was you! Are you in a hurry? I will set out in the next couple of days!" Ergoudan said a little sheepishly. "The autumn harvest is still far off and there is no income at home. I thought I would hunt extra game in the mountains before I leave so my dad can sell it. Once I am gone, the family will have no income..."
"Did I not tell you to ask my old man for it?" Wei Zhao laughed helplessly at his words.
"Your money for the travel is enough. For household use, I figure I should earn it myself. I have got hands and feet, and hunting is no trouble..." Ergoudan gave an honest smile.
"All right, come over as soon as you are done. I really miss you!" Wei Zhao said with feeling. "I wish you could stay in Songshan City for good..."
"I would love to follow you, Boss, and see the world! But I cannot!" Ergoudan frowned and said helplessly. "I cannot leave home for too long..."
"Yes, apart from that spiritual spring, there is really no substitute!" Wei Zhao sighed as well. "But it is fine. Just come out once every so often..."
"That is the only way... But after I go back this time, it will be the autumn harvest, and I will have to help my dad with the work!" Ergoudan said.
