Hercules Er Goudan
"Ugh …" Lin Yi paused, but he remembered that Er Goudan was just a nickname. Er Goudan's real name wasn't Er Goudan, so people who weren't familiar with him wouldn't know … But everyone in Star West Village should know this name! But Lin Yi still said, "It's Zhou Jiaming …"
Zhou Jiaming was Er Goudan's real name. Of course, in the village, people called people by their nicknames. Very few people called people by their real names. This was different from the city.
"Zhou Jiaming?" The man on the other side of the line paused, but he still said, "Wait, I'll ask for you … Aunty, someone's looking for Zhou Jiaming. Do you know him?"
"I know. Okay, go set up the goods, I'll take the call!" Widow Wang's voice came from the other side of the phone. After a while, Widow Wang picked up the phone, "You're looking for Er Goudan?"
"Aunty Wang, it's me, Lil 'Yi," Lin Yi smiled, "Who was that?"
"En, it's my relative's child, from another village. He came here to help me with the work! Isn't the spring plowing over? When the villagers are free, they often come here to drink. I can't do it alone! "Widow Wang said.
"I see, no wonder he doesn't know Er Goudan!" Lin Yi understood. In Star West Village, there were a lot of people who didn't know Lin Yi, but there were very few who didn't know Er Goudan!
"Haha, wait here, I'll get Er Goudan to answer the phone for you!" Widow Wang put the phone aside and went to the village's megaphone to shout.
"Er Goudan, Er Goudan, Er Goudan, I'm your Aunty Wang. There's a call for you!" Widow Wang's voice came from the loudspeaker, shocking Lin Yi on the other side of the phone.
Goudan was hunting in the mountains- he just finished dinner and went to the mountains to stretch his body. He didn't expect to hear the village's loudspeaker calling for him.
Goudan guessed that the call was from his boss, Lin Yi. He didn't waste time, picking up the dead boar and running down the mountain!
This wild boar was at least three to four hundred kilograms, but Goudan didn't seem to be using any strength at all. He was running like he was flying, as if he was carrying no weight at all!
At the foot of the mountain was West Star Village. Almost all the villagers were outside, playing cards and chess. They didn't seem surprised at all when they saw Goudan running down the mountain with the bear on his shoulder!
"Er Goudan, you went hunting again? This wild boar can be sold for a good price, right? "an old man said enviously.
"Heh heh, it's alright," Goudan smiled honestly.
"Er Goudan, when are you going to get the robes you promised Master Wang?" A village woman asked. Her husband sold wild animals, and he often caught wild chickens and robes to sell in the market. He used to catch them with traps, but Goudan patted his chest and bought them, saying that he'd help whenever he needed the robes.
"Aunty Chang, I'm in a hurry to answer the phone today. I'll get the robes for you tomorrow!" Goudan nodded.
This Goudan was a legend in the village- when he was eight, he went hunting alone in the mountains. The first day he came back, the villagers saw a black bear coming down the mountain and walking into the village, scaring them to death!
They shouted "the bear is in the village!" and all went back to their homes!
But when the black bear walked into the village, everyone realized that under the bear's huge body, there was a small, skinny figure! It was Er Goudan, who came back from hunting! But compared to the Black Bear's body, Er Goudan's body was insignificant!
They were far away, and it was dark, so the villagers couldn't see Goudan clearly. It was only when they got closer that they realized that the black bear had been killed by Goudan!
This shocked the villagers, and they couldn't help but praise Goudan's godly strength!
But, everything had a freshness, and once the freshness wore off, they wouldn't be surprised anymore! It was the same with Er Goudan. From then on, he killed wild wolves, wild boars, vultures, and other wild beasts. Everyone was used to it now!
Goudan threw the wild boar on the ground, "Everyone, split it. If we can't finish it, we'll give the rest to my dad to sell!"
Goudan was a simple and honest man- he wouldn't keep things to himself. Every time he went hunting, he would think of the villagers and give them something for free. So, everyone had a good impression of him!
In fact, everyone was drooling over the wild boar meat! Normal people couldn't kill a wild boar. There was a saying, "One boar, two bears, three tigers". It meant that the wild boar was stronger than a bear or a tiger!
Only Goudan could kill a wild boar so easily. If it was someone else, they might've been killed by the boar.
After saying that, he quickly ran to Widow Wang's house, and the rest of the villagers happily helped him clean up the wild boar!
Of course, they weren't greedy people. They would get some of the meat, but it was the parts that weren't easy to sell. The parts that were easy to sell, like the pork knuckle, they would leave them for Goudan!
Goudan excitedly ran into the shop and picked up the phone, "Hello?"
"Er Goudan, it's me, Lin Yi," Lin Yi heard Goudan's voice and smiled.
"Lin Yi Bro, I knew it was you! Are you in a hurry? I'll leave in two days! " Goudan said embarrassedly, "It's still far from the autumn harvest, and the family doesn't have much income. I'm thinking of hunting some wild animals for my dad to sell before I leave, otherwise the family won't have any income …"
"Didn't I tell you to get it from my old man?" Lin Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"You can pay for the road- I'm thinking I'll earn the money for the house- I have hands and feet, hunting isn't a problem …" Goudan said with an honest smile.
"Alright, come back as soon as you're done. I really miss you!" Lin Yi sighed, "I really want you to stay in Songshan forever …"
"I want to follow you, boss, to explore the world! But I can't! "Goudan frowned and said helplessly," I can't leave home for too long … "
"That's right. Apart from that spiritual spring, there's really no other alternative solution!" Lin Yi sighed, "But it's fine, you just have to come out once in a while …"
