Chapter 62 The Wild Boar is Coming
They walked through the winding path, and the flowers and plants on the roadside swayed gently in the breeze, as if seeing them off.
Along the way, there was constant laughter and joy, and everyone was full of longing and expectation for the future.
As time went on, the road became increasingly rough, but that did not slow them down.
On the contrary, they moved forward with greater determination.
When faced with difficulties, they support each other and overcome them together; when faced with disagreements, they are honest with each other and negotiate together.
The group walked like this for another three days and encountered some other fruit trees on the way.
Village chief Hu distributed food according to the same method. With the daily supplies, the total amount of food reserves of everyone did not decrease. The only thing that decreased was the coarse grains, rice and flour. After all, no one would starve to death.
In addition, the men in the village later encountered two large animals together, one was two roe deer and the other was two wild boars, both of which were killed by the men in the village together.
Village chief Hu also distributed some to everyone in the village, and gave more to the men, especially those who were injured.
When they encountered the wild boar, they were all scared.
The first ones to discover it must have been the men in the front. Fortunately, the wild boar was quietly eating grass at the time and did not notice the group of people coming.
The man in front saw it and immediately reported it to the village chief, "Village chief, there are a few wild boars ahead, what should we do?"
The village chief tried to calm the man who was speaking, and asked him to speak more quietly. "Where? Keep your voice down."
He said to the other man, "Tell the people behind to keep quiet and find a place to hide. Say that we have spotted a herd of wild boars ahead. Let's discuss and see if we can hunt one. Then we'll have meat to eat!"
After receiving the message from the village chief, the man passed it on to the people behind him one by one. Everyone was very happy to hear that there was a wild boar.
The man who delivered the message saw the reactions of these people and immediately said, "The village chief wants everyone to find a place to hide and not make any noise. If we startle the wild boar, no one will be happy!"
Everyone else quieted down and quietly looked for places to hide. Father and Mother Liu found a tree to put Xiaomei and Xiaolu up.
Liu Caixia said, "Dad, Mom, you guys go up too. Caiyun and I will go and help! Just protect yourselves and the two children!"
Liu Caixia and Caiyun nodded, with worry and determination in their eyes.
They quickly picked up long sticks and sickles at home as makeshift weapons. Although they knew that these might be just a drop in the bucket against the ferocious wild boars, it was still better than being unarmed.
Liu's father and mother are not the kind of people who try to show off their strength. "Okay, you have to be careful too! Wild boars come in groups, so you have to be careful. If you can't win, just run away! Tell the village chief and the others to be careful too!"
With the help of their family members, people from other families in the village also climbed up trees or large rocks.
The women and children basically hid themselves, and the men who had the strength and tools quietly gathered around the village chief and listened to his arrangements.
Occasionally, you can hear rustling sounds coming from the distant woods and the low roars of wild boars, which is chilling.
Village Chief Hu: "There are two big wild boars with a group of cubs. We don't have many tools, so we still have to think long-term. If it doesn't work, it will be good enough to catch two cubs."
"Yes, we don't have good bows and arrows. The bows and arrows in the village are very old. We probably can't kill the big wild boar. We can only try to shoot the cub."
"Wild boars have thick skin, and it's hard to cut them with a normal sickle. If you get close to them, they'll easily gouge you."
Liu Caiyun: "We have two machetes, which we bought in the city last time. The strong men in the village can give him one. I will give one. We will go together to deal with the wild boar."
Village Chief Hu: "But what if there are two big wild boars? If they attack together, no one will be able to subdue them. Otherwise, it's better to be safe and get the little ones!"
Liu Caixia knew how strong Liu Caiyun was and that killing two wild boars was no problem for her, so she stood up and spoke for Liu Caiyun.
“Village chief, my sister is very strong, it shouldn’t be a problem for her to kill a wild boar. There are many people in the village, and other people can deal with another wild boar. Even if they can’t kill it, they should be able to contain it.
When my sister and I finish dealing with one big wild boar, we will come to help deal with the other one.
There are so many people in the village, and I finally met the right person. I would be unwilling to give up without giving it a try.
We haven't eaten meat for a long time. Winter is coming soon, so it is necessary to store more food."
Village Chief Hu saw Liu Caixia say this, thought for a while and said to several other men in the village:
"You six will deal with the other big boar, and you two can go with the Liu sisters to help. The other six will deal with the other cubs. Is that ok?"
The people named by Village Chief Hu looked at each other and nodded, saying, "Village Chief, what the second sister of the Liu family said is right. We want to give it a try."
"Okay, but don't be too brave, safety comes first. If you really can't do anything, immediately climb up the nearest tree and hide."
Everyone's face was filled with tension and anxiety, but more of it was concern for each other's safety.
Liu Caiyun, holding a machete, led Liu Caixia and two other men to quietly move to the left, while the other six moved to the right.
When they arrived at the large open space, they saw several strong young men who had stayed behind previously, busy setting up simple defensive fortifications, building several rough barriers with wood and stones, hoping to block the attack of wild boars.
"You two are here too? Good, more strength means more hope. Remember, don't engage in direct conflict with wild boars unless it's absolutely necessary." The eldest son of the only old hunter in the village warned.
Slowly walked towards where the wild boars were. The wild boars were eating happily.
Suddenly someone stepped on an ancient branch, making a crackling sound, which startled the two wild boars over there. The big wild boars grunted and raised their heads to look around.
I don't know if it saw or smelled it, but it roared at the group of people on the right and launched a defensive attack. The little piglets gathered around the big wild boar and now gathered together.
As time passed, the air became increasingly tense.
It was as if even the wind had stopped breathing, just waiting for that moment to come.
One of the big wild boars rushed out, and the six people over there were about to be discovered. The big wild boar rushed over, and someone shouted:
"spread!"
As the herd of wild boars gradually approached, the air was filled with the pungent smell of blood and the roars of wild beasts.
The villagers held their breath, waiting for the decisive moment. At this moment, the village chief gave an order, and everyone followed the pre-planned tactics. Some were responsible for frontal defense, while others quietly went around the flanks of the wild boar herd, trying to create chaos.
After everyone dispersed, the wild boar rushed over, but didn't hit anyone. It turned around and started rushing towards people again. The men who dispersed had tools in their hands, and they hit the wild boar when it rushed over.
The wild boar was very strong and was scratched, but the wounds were not fatal.
Instead, it angered the big wild boar. After calming the little piglets, the other big wild boars also rushed over to help.
How could Liu Caiyun let it go over to help? She rushed out first and chopped the wild boar with her knife.
The remaining big wild boar didn't expect a man to appear in the middle of the road. It failed to dodge and was hit hard by the knife.
My goodness! Liu Caiyun thought he was very strong, but he didn’t expect that this knife only made a big cut.
Although the pig was injured, it was not killed.
Liu Caiyun was about to hit it with another knife. Although the wild boar was injured, it still fought back, dodged the knife, and pounced on him with its fangs bared.
Liu Caixia was right next to Liu Caiyun, and in order to protect her, she quickly pulled Liu Caiyun away without leaving any trace.
The wild boar missed its target again. Unexpectedly, it stopped attacking Liu Caiyun and instead pounced on the other two men.
Fortunately, the two men had been paying attention to the movements here. When they saw the wild boar rushing over, they dodged while waving the sickles in their hands to chop it.
One of them was a little slow and was hit by the wild boar and fell to the ground.
Liu Caiyun quickly ran over and slashed the pig's butt again. This time she used more force, and the pig's butt was cut solidly and split open instantly.
The wild boar also fell to the ground with a roar. The man who was knocked down stood up tremblingly with the help of another man, covering his right hand. There was a hole in his right hand poked by the fangs and blood had already started to ooze out.
Liu Caixia said quickly, "Quickly pull a piece of cloth to tie up the arm and stop the bleeding first!"
Liu Caiyun also said, "Please be careful, I will go over there to help!"
The six men over there were doing relatively well in dealing with a big wild boar. After all, wild boars have no intelligence. The six men cooperated very well and the wild boar was fooled around.
Several little wild boars had wounds of varying sizes on their bodies, but the wounds were not deep and would not take their lives.
The six people had some scratches on their bodies. After Liu Caiyun joined, the situation improved immediately.
Liu Caiyun found an opportunity to slash the wild boar with two knives. The others took advantage of the boar's hands and attacked it one after another. Some used sickles, some used kitchen knives, and they attacked them with whatever they had.
The big wild boar finally fell down.
The other little wild boars scattered in panic, and they had no way to chase them anymore.
We should not kill all the wild boars. Ancient people also knew the principle of draining the pond to catch fish. If we let these little wild boars go, they will give birth to more little wild boars when they grow up.
They were so tired that they sat down, and Liu Caiyun and Liu Caixia also sat aside to rest.
Liu Caixia: "I'll call the others over. We need to get rid of the wild boar quickly. We also need to leave quickly, otherwise the bloody smell may attract other animals. Once you have rested, help clean up first!"
When the others heard what she said, they also quickly perked up. After all, they didn't have the energy to fight other animals anymore, and it wouldn't be certain who would eat whom at that time.
Liu Caiyun took out a machete and beheaded two wild boars in two quick strokes, leaving the others stunned and they all stood up to help.
"Sister Liu, you are really strong!"
"yes"
"Yeah, if it weren't for the eldest sister of the Liu family, we would have a hard time dealing with a wild boar!"
"I'll have to ask the village chief to give your family more meat later!"
"that is"
"that is"
Liu Caiyun complimented the others and just smiled and said politely, "It took everyone's concerted efforts to kill them. You don't have to be so polite."
Village chief Hu rushed over with other people and saw that the two big wild boars had been cut into several pieces. He quickly called for people to come and help.
Due to the lack of water, many of the wild boar's internal organs were too dirty to be cleaned, so only a portion of the internal organs that did not need to be cleaned were taken away.
After the rest of the wild boar meat was divided into pieces, Village Chief Hu greeted everyone.
"Okay, let's get out of here quickly. We can deal with the wild boar meat later. The most urgent thing is to leave this place. And we need to dig a hole and bury all the pig organs."
The several people on their hands were also simply cleaned and bandaged with herbal medicine by the women in the village. They just crushed the herbs and wiped them on the outside of the wounds.
One of them was more seriously injured, but the bleeding was stopped in time and the wound was bandaged with rags from home.
The herbs they had collected before came in handy at this time. They were all external injuries, which were easy to treat and did not affect their journey without causing any serious damage.
The group continued walking forward for nearly two hours before Village Chief Hu asked everyone to find a place to rest and get something to eat.
Now that we have the meat, it must be distributed. It is impossible to have all of it distributed by the entire village. This would be too unfair to those who have worked hard and those who have been injured.
The Liu family also got some meat. After they had the meat, when each family wanted to eat some, they would cut some and stew it together.
The aunt who distributed the food was also very fair. She distributed it according to the number of people. Each time, we could get a piece of meat and some broth with chestnuts and wild vegetables, which was enough to fill us up.
If there is extra meat left, each family can enjoy it when they want to eat it. They can pickle some of it with salt and make it into jerky, which can also be preserved for a long time.
Village Chief Hu: "I believe everyone has seen that Sister Liu's strength was the key to taking down two wild boars with so few casualties. So, when we distribute the meat, give them an extra piece. Do you have any objection?"
Liu's father and mother just politely declined. Liu's father was actually satisfied with what Village Chief Hu did. After all, no one wants to suffer a loss.
Some things can only last long if there is give and take. If you meet someone who doesn't know what's good for him and just wants to take advantage of others, you're bound to feel resentful after a while.
No one else in the village had any objection to Village Chief Hu's approach. The fact that every family could get more than ten kilograms of pork was already an extra surprise.
In addition, there are two pig heads and some delicious preserved pig offal, which will be cooked and eaten by everyone in the village later.
There was little oil and water along the way, and the cow in the village died not long after they reached the mountain.
But the cow belonged to the village chief's family, and they gave some to the villagers to eat. They were quite generous.
However, there was not much oil in the beef, and most of the remaining beef was made into jerky and preserved by the village chief's family.
Now we can eat pork. Wild boar meat has much more oil than beef, and everyone in the village likes this fatty meat very much.
Father Liu and the others didn't really care about the wild boar meat.
They haven't eaten fatty meat for many years.
Seeing that everyone was so happy, the Liu family also followed the local customs and joined the cheering team.
