In 1967, just into October, there was a heavy snowfall on Mount Sedai.
This sudden heavy snow dots The Xuedai Mountain is as beautiful as a beautiful landscape painting.
In the painting, a small squirrel jumps around in a tree, as if to tell the soldiers living here that there is still a breath of life in the snow.
Before the heavy snow, the soldiers on the top of the mountain, according to their previous experience, had already begun to prepare for the winter. Carts of cabbage, radishes, potatoes, and other various vegetables were methodically collected into the storage room.
The comrades in the cooking class plucked the bad cabbage leaves and piled them together next to the pigsty.
Perhaps, the smell of cabbage leaves attracts the appetite of wild boars, or perhaps the snow covers the feed of wild boars.
In the middle of the night, with a wild bark of the little yellow dog, the guards noticed that a wild boar had arrived at our station.
At dawn, after the detachment leader learned of the arrival of the wild boar, he asked a few experienced veterans to study the hunting plan.
A veteran who enlisted in the army in the sixties, nicknamed "Old Black", reported the method of capture.
Because, old black looks like the squad leader in the movie "Sentinel under neon lights".
Old Black led another warrior to the pigsty to carefully observe the traces left by the wild boar.
They decided to capture the wild boar in a suit-up manner.
They made a sleeve out of no. 8 wire, and the other end of the wire was tightly twisted in the middle of a long, thick wooden stick.
They took this condom and, based on the trail left by the wild boar, laid a round sleeve on the road where the wild boar had to pass.
As long as the head of the wild boar is drilled into the wire sleeve, when running forward, the long wooden stick behind it is in the middle of the tree, and the more the wild boar pulls forward, the tighter the wire on the wild boar's neck is pulled.
Whether this method works is waiting for the acceptance of the old blacks.
The next day, Lao Hei and a group of comrades-in-arms went to see if the wild boar was trapped?
Before they could get close to the place where the condom was, the howl of a wild boar was heard.
Everyone rushed over and found that the wild boar was tightly covered and could not move for half a step.
After the old black shuttle of bullets was fired, the wild boar stopped howling.
When everyone got closer, they found that the wild boar weighed about two hundred pounds, and two crooked fangs indicated that it was a fierce adult boar.
Everyone carried the wild boar to the cooking class and handed it to Captain Shao.
When it was time for dinner, the moment we entered the canteen, the smell of meat came to the nose, and everyone served a bowl of fragrant wild boar braised meat.
Captain Shao said that more than a dozen bullets were pulled out of the wild boar.
Although the meat quality of the red braised wild boar meat made by Shao Banchang is coarser than that of domestic pork, it is less greasy than domestic pork, but it has wild game like mountain treasures.
That time I ate wild boar meat for the first time and the last time in my life.
More than fifty years have passed, thank you old black comrades-in-arms, thank you Captain Shao.
I've tasted what a wild boar is in my lifetime!
