"Little Third Son, Little Third Son, my grandfather and I are going into the mountains today, so get up quickly."
A rich middle-aged voice shouted in the yard, breaking the early morning tranquility of the village.
"Uh... um, I got it." A childish voice sounded from the west room, with the squeaky sound of being suddenly awakened.
This place is a mountain village located at the foot of the vast mountains. There are only about thirty households in this village. This kind of village is very common in Daliang Kingdom, which is full of mountains.
Most of the villagers in this mountain village are named Qin. It is said that a large family named Qin moved here thousands of years ago to avoid disaster.
As time passed, the large family named Qin had long since declined, leaving only its tribesmen to make a living by hunting for generations. Although life was extremely poor, food and clothing were still guaranteed.
The head of the family here is named Qin Hong. He is about forty years old and is strong and tall. He has three other sons. The eldest son was drafted into military service the year before last; the second son is living thirty miles away from the mountain village, Teng Long.
He works as an apprentice in the town's blacksmith shop; only his son stays at home with his parents.
His father is over sixty years old. He is a mountain man who often climbs mountains and hunts, so he is in good health.
At this time, the child promised in the West House was his youngest son, named Qin Fengming. There was a good reason for such a decent name.
It is said that when Qin Fengming was born, the birds in the mountains were chirping for half the night. At dawn, Qin Fengming was born smoothly, so the patriarch named him Fengming. At that time, he said that a sign from the sky appeared when he was born, so he was sure to do so later.
Able to achieve great success.
This year, Qin Fengming is just ten years old. Although his complexion is a little dark, he has a straight eyebrow and a pair of extremely lively eyes. He looks extremely smart and has no dullness like a child in a mountain village.
Qin Hong's family lives in the back of the mountain village in the east. Children from poor families are early masters, but this is extremely accurate for children in mountain villages. Qin Fengming started hunting in the mountains with his father and grandfather when he was six or seven years old. Today, he has three or four
Time has passed.
When Qin Fengming heard his father's call, he didn't dare to delay any more, put on his clothes and walked out of the room.
Because there was a light rain last night, the air in the courtyard seemed particularly fresh at this time. Take a deep breath and you can smell the green leaves mixed with rain. In the forest outside, various mountain birds chirped and called incessantly, making the entire courtyard look...
Very quiet and peaceful.
After having a light meal and preparing some dry food for lunch, Qin Hong and his father each held their tools, greeted Xiao Feng, then stood up and walked out of the courtyard.
Seeing this, Qin Fengming happily agreed, put a knife more than a foot long on his waist, picked up a small steel fork, and hurriedly followed him out.
Xiao Fengming didn't know that something would happen to him that would change the trajectory of his life when he entered the mountain.
Yesterday, Qin Fengming and his grandfather had already set up several traps and animal traps twenty miles away from the village. They went there today mainly to see if there was any harvest. This was what Qin Fengming was most willing to do.
Along the way, Grandpa and Qin Hong, who were leading the way, constantly judged the direction and looked for paths. At the same time, they had to pay attention to the surroundings and watch out for venomous snakes and insects.
Because people in the village have been hunting for generations, it is difficult to find prey within ten miles of Qinjiazhuang. Therefore, Qin Fengming, his ancestors, and his grandson had to walk a long way.
Two hours later, after climbing over mountains and ridges, the three finally arrived at their destination. After careful inspection, they found that the prey they caught was quite rich: two pheasants, a mountain hare and a mountain marten.
Along the way, noon has arrived unknowingly. After packing up the prey, the three of them rested on the rocks, drank the mountain spring water, and took out the dry food they had prepared before leaving. The three of them ate and chatted.
stand up.
Mountain marten is extremely precious among many small prey. If you take it to the store, you can exchange it for a lot of money. Therefore, Qin Hong and his father are very happy.
After some discussions, Qin Hong decided to take advantage of the fact that it was still early and walk two or three miles further to see if he could encounter large prey such as elk and deer.
Hide the prey in a very secret tree hole and seal it with gravel to prevent it from being found by other wild animals, then get up and move forward.
Few people come to this area anymore, and in many places there is no way to go. You need to use a hatchet to cut off the vines in front of you before you can pass.
"Creak, creak"
While the grandfather and grandson were carefully searching for prey around them, a sound of teeth gnashing suddenly came from a dozen feet away. Hearing this sound, Qin Hong and his father smiled. This was exactly what some kind of large animal was doing.
The sound made by eating.
Following the direction from which the sound came, Qin Hong quickly climbed up the hill in front of him and opened up the bushes. At first glance, his expression changed drastically. He saw a mountain boar of about 200 kilograms, chewing a piece of meat more than ten feet away.
The roots of a giant tree.
This wild boar is extremely ferocious, with two tusks pointing forward, more than a foot long.
The wild boar's ears are extremely sensitive. When Qin Hong discovered it, the sound it made by shaking the bushes had already alerted it. Qin Hong suddenly felt a chill as he looked at the animal with ferocious eyes.
But at this time, Qin Hong could no longer hide. As a last resort, he jumped up, holding a steel fork for defense, and shouted urgently: "It's a wild boar, run back quickly.
I'll stop it."
Among ordinary wild animals, the wild boar is known for its aggressiveness. When it saw Qin Hong, it sprayed a cloud of white air from its nose, howled, and rushed towards Qin Hong at an extremely fast speed.
Arriving in front of Qin Hong.
With many years of hunting experience, Qin Hong held a steel fork in his hand. When the wild boar rushed closer, he suddenly swung it toward its eyes. At the same time, he jumped to the side to avoid the two wild boars.
Pointed fangs.
Due to being in too much haste, Qin Hong's fork failed to penetrate the prey's eyes and passed over its thick fur. The wild boar crossed Qin Hong with a 'clop' sound and rushed straight down the hill.
Qin Fengming and his grandfather heard their father's cry and they didn't dare to delay. They turned around and wanted to escape the same way, but the wild boar was too fast. It passed Qin Hong and came directly towards Qin Fengming and Qin Fengming who had not escaped far.
.
Seeing the wild boar rushing towards him, grandpa didn't panic much. He shook the steel fork in his hand and, like Qin Hong, suddenly thrust it towards the wild boar's face. The wild boar had rough skin and thick flesh. All hunters in the mountains knew that only the eyes
This is its weakness.
"Bang!" There was a sound. Although grandpa's fork struck the wild boar, it still missed its vital part.
The wild boar withstood two attacks. Although its vital parts were not hurt, it was still very painful. At this time, the wild boar was extremely angry. A fierce light flashed in its eyes and it howled in anger, but it did not turn around.
He rushed towards Qin Fengming not far away.
Although Qin Fengming did not stop running, he looked back from time to time. Suddenly he saw the wild boar running towards him, and was immediately frightened. In panic, the small steel fork also fell out, and he ran backwards quickly without stopping.
Although he was frightened, Qin Fengming did not panic. Three or four years of hunting had taught him how to avoid danger even at a young age. With his quick movements, when the wild boar pounced on him, he could always attack him alertly.
He jumped behind the big tree next to him.
After experiencing two forks, the mountain pig was already in a state of anger, and its only target was the unarmed Qin Fengming in front of him.
Although Qin Fengming was now much stronger than children of the same age in the city, he was still a ten-year-old child. After dodging two or three times, he was already out of breath.
At this time, the wild boar rushed towards Qin Fengming again. Due to his reduced physical strength at a young age, Qin Fengming was unable to avoid the wild boar's tusks this time. He was hit by one of its tusks, and then flew out and hit a tree.
Above the big tree, rolling down the hillside...
