Early the next morning, Zhang An woke up as soon as the rooster crowed. After all, he had something to do today and couldn't sleep in late.
Knowing that the village was going to organize people to patrol the mountains today, both her husband and son were going to go, so when Wang Fang saw the two men getting up, she started to get them food.
At a quarter past seven, Zhang An and his father Zhang Jianguo prepared their things and came to the courtyard of the village chief's house.
People came one after another from behind, and everyone sat in the yard and started bragging and spanking, waiting for the people behind to gather.
They all brought various tools, including sticks and hatchets, most of which were weapons that were easy to use with long hands. Zhang An and his son each brought a long-handled steel fork.
These are used by everyone to protect safety. If you can avoid doing it, it is best not to do it as much as possible.
If there are only a few of them, just drive them into the mountains. If you take action, it won't be good if you hurt anyone.
If there were still guns in hand now, everyone would definitely not have this idea and just finish the work directly after meeting.
Because it was done like this in the past. Every night, the night watchmen would hold a gun and shoot at the wild boar when they found it. There was still a share of meat in the village.
After the old village chief called a few people, he carried several boxes of earthen cannons from his home and brought them to the yard.
These cannons are all very small, only a few dozen blasts in size.
Let everyone bring two strings each. This thing is very useful in the mountains.
When you see a wild boar, click on a bunch and throw it at it. Most of the time, you can scare these beasts away.
This is because wild boars in the mountains have been shot a lot with guns in the past. When they hear this sound, they think someone is shooting and they will run away. After all, they are not fools.
Unless they are attacked by someone, the more you hit a wild boar, the crazier it becomes.
If you touch it, it will fight you to the death.
This time there were more people organized in the village, and men from almost every household came.
Then everyone was divided into several groups, and each group had an experienced old man in the mountains to lead everyone into the mountains.
Zhang An also brought his three dogs with him. The little tigers had particularly good noses and could follow any smells.
Their group was led by the village chief, and there were about ten people in the group.
Uncle Zhang An didn't come because he had something to do, but Zhang An's family came with two people and three dogs, and no one else said anything.
After all, everyone will encounter trouble sometimes.
After all matters, big and small, were arranged clearly, everyone went into the mountains according to their own routes and began their journey to find and drive away wild boars.
Along the way, the village elder told the juniors he was leading about the past, because several of the group were young people of Zhang An's generation.
The youngest is Zhang An, and the other is Huang Ming, the eldest grandson of Mr. Huang’s family.
Hearing that everyone was going into the mountains to find wild boars, they clamored to follow them to see the world.
Usually this guy climbed up the hill like a monkey, but in the end the old village chief thought it would be okay and took him along.
Moreover, Huang Ming and his father Huang Zhengbiao are also on the team. He feels that with so many people, everyone should be able to take care of each other, so it is not a problem to bring his son with him.
As for Zhang An, everyone now knows that although Zhang An is tall and thin, they have seen this guy's incredible strength before.
Otherwise, during the meeting yesterday, among the younger generation, the old village chief only called him and not anyone else.
The group of people entered the mountain in a hurry. The route they took was to start from the Bao Valley area of Zhou Shuanglin's family.
According to the information dictated by Sister-in-law Zhou, it was at that time that she encountered a wild boar weighing more than 200 kilograms and carrying several piglets.
She saw those wild boars destroying her corn, so she wanted to throw some mud chunks to scare them away.
Who would have thought that instead of being scared away, the wild boar that Sister-in-law Zhou threw at her with mud rushed towards her angrily.
Fortunately, she reacted in time and ran towards the edge of the field. When she saw the big wild boar getting closer and closer, she had no choice but to jump down from the ridge.
Although he broke his foot, the wild boar would not chase him down such a high ridge.
Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous.
When they arrived at the place where Sister-in-law Zhou met the wild boar, she saw that a large area of corn had been ruined in the corn field.
"Uncle, several trees here have been arched, and there are still pig hairs on them."
After everyone searched, they found traces of being rubbed by wild boars on the roots of the cedar tree nearby, leaving a lot of stiff pig hairs.
"Xiaohu, come here."
Zhang An picked up some, called the three Xiaohu brothers to him, and asked them to smell them carefully.
Sure enough, after Xiaohu and the others smelled it, they started to lead everyone along the field of baogong to the sea of baogu in front.
Everyone watched the little tiger grow up, and everyone knew how powerful it was, so the village elder called out, and everyone followed the little tiger up the mountain to look for it.
It was already noon when we came out of Bao Valley. In the cedar forest, we saw a place that had been rolled flat by wild boars, and there was still a lot of pig excrement.
Before, Xiaohu looked very relaxed, probably because the aura left by the wild boar was not very strong.
But from the moment they entered the forest, the three dogs at home became alert, their ears began to stand up, and they moved left and right.
This should be a temporary camp for wild boars after they come down the mountain.
Further back, the mountain in the distance is Yezhu Rock. Everyone knows where Yezhu Rock is from the name, so they don’t dare to relax.
The old village chief began to check the pig nest and pig excrement, and found that the pig excrement was not dry yet, and it should have been just pulled out in the morning.
"These beasts must still be around here. Everyone, please pay attention. These pig excrements look like they were just pooped out this morning."
"Zhang An, let your dog search carefully. Let's all be careful and be careful of these beasts rushing out from invisible places. Safety is important."
The old village chief reminded everyone and said to Zhang An.
"What are you afraid of, uncle? If we encounter a big wild boar, let's kill it together and bring it back for everyone to eat."
Huang Ming was very excited when he heard about the wild boars. He used to hear his father brag about how powerful he was at killing many wild boars in a year.
Huang Ming's eyes lit up when he heard this. When he was in school, he often told his classmates that his father dared to hunt wild boars and would kill many of them a year.
As soon as he said this, everyone around him flattered him.
Listening to Huang Ming's words, the adults could only shake their heads. This is probably what happens to children who are not yet sensible.
Everyone looked at him and then at Zhang An, but they were speechless.
"What are you going to do? Fight with your life. Even if so many of us kill one, what if we kill one of them? Do you think that wild boar is easy to mess with?"
The old uncle was a little speechless about this child.
Then Zhang An patted the little tiger, and the little tiger began to find its bearings on the ground.
But it was noon, and the village chief took everyone to find a shady place and asked everyone to finish eating the dry food they brought with them when they went out in the morning.
After all, people are made of iron, and only when they are full can they have strength.
Everyone brought dry food, pancakes and the like, and some people brought cakes, which they burned on a fire in the woods.
After everyone had eaten and drank, they took a short rest and then continued looking for wild boars.
After hearing Zhang An's command, Xiaohu and the others found Fang Xi after searching for a while, and led everyone towards the Bao Valley on the other side.
There is a small stream that is still flowing here, and the wet land nearby can be seen full of wild boar hoof prints, large and small.
You can see them drinking water here.
In the mountains, there are many houses with water openings behind them.
Summer is the rainy season, and clear spring water often flows out. People who work in the mountains sometimes do not bring water and drink directly from the fields.
The further they walked, the more cautious Xiao Hu became. Sure enough, after everyone followed the pig's hoof prints for two quarters of an hour, they heard a faint hum.
In front of you is a large field of corn valley. Looking into the distance, you can see that a large area has been flattened.
"As expected, we are still here. Please be careful, there may be more than one voice hearing this."
As we walked forward, we followed the pig's snorting, and the sound became louder and louder.
Finally, in a den in front of me, I saw two big wild boars and a bunch of piglets rolling around in the valley.
You can see that there is also a boar inside, with long tusks, which is larger than the sow next to it.
The female wild boar should be the one Sister-in-law Zhou encountered, weighing more than two hundred kilograms, and the toothed pig next to it might weigh about three hundred kilograms, like a small hillside.
The adults all felt very sorry for this family. This piece of corn that had been flattened was already in ruins this year.
Since Zhang An and his party were larger in number and more noisy, when they discovered the wild boar, the wild boar also discovered them.
Maybe it was because I tried to hump someone yesterday but couldn't do it, so today I found a group of people in front of me. The male wild boar rushed towards Zhang An and the others without caring about anything.
The big tiger, the second tiger, and the little tiger instantly bared their long teeth, raised their fur, and rushed out.
However, they were separated from the male wild boar. Instead, they rushed in front of the female wild boar and soon started fighting with her.
Seeing the big-toothed pig rushing towards everyone in a fierce manner, with this guy's body, if he rushes into someone, he will definitely be knocked away, and there are also long fangs on his mouth.
Even wolves and leopards can't take this thing out in the mountains.
"Hurry out of the way and climb up the ridge. Don't get hit. Otherwise, half your life will be lost."
Realizing that something was wrong, the old village chief quickly told everyone to get away.
Behind the few people is a ridge less than two meters high, but this ridge is relatively vertical and wild boars cannot rush up it.
After hearing the old village chief's words, everyone hurriedly climbed up the ridge. Zhang Jianguo was worried that his three dogs were in danger, so he called them anxiously on the ridge.
I want to call them back, but how can I call them back when the little tigers are already murderous?
As long as the big guys climb up to the ridge, there is nothing this big wild boar can do to them. When the time comes, they can use earth cannons to drive it away.
I thought that after the old village chief shouted, everyone would quickly find a place to climb up and occupy the high point.
Unexpectedly, everyone went up. Huang Ming, who is usually very clever when climbing hills, slipped down before he could reach the ridge today.
He fell to the ground with a grunt.
In an instant, Big-Toothed Pig had rushed under the ridge where several people were standing, but everyone discovered that there was someone sitting on the ground under the ridge.
"Climb up quickly, why are you still sitting on the ground?"
The old village chief became a little anxious, and while shouting at Huang Ming, he lit the cannon and threw it down.
But no one expected that this male wild boar rushed towards Huang Ming as if he was crazy, and the sound of the cannon did not affect it at all.
Shengguadanzi had never seen this scene before. When he saw the big wild boar coming towards him, he was so frightened that he forgot to get up and sat on the ground stupidly.
Need to turn.
This is what everyone is thinking at this moment.
By the time everyone reacted and no one had climbed up, the boar had already arrived in front of Huang Ming.
Zhang An gritted his teeth and jumped up from the ground above.
"Drink~"
Holding the steel fork in his hand, he aimed at the boar and jumped down from above.
"No, let's go down together, otherwise Da Mingzi will be abducted."
The old village chief looked at Zhang An who jumped down first, holding the fork in his hand and shouting to the people next to him.
In the past, everyone used guns to attack wild boars from a distance, but now there are no guns for close combat.
Several people on the ridge looked at the big wild boar like a hill, and their hearts trembled.
When Zhang Jianguo saw his son jump down, he was stunned for a moment.
He also jumped down holding the steel fork.
But he was too far away from Zhang An. When he jumped down, he was still seven or eight meters away from Zhang An.
"Xiao An~"
The old village chief and Huang Zhengbiao also jumped down one after another.
But they were too far away from Huang Ming, and there was still a long way to go if they jumped.
Zhang An, who was next to Huang Ming, jumped down with a steel fork.
He landed on the pig's back, held a steel fork in one hand, and stabbed it hard into its neck.
Fortunately, Zhang An's steel fork was sharpened by Zhang Jianguo last night. The fork tip looks extremely sharp and reflective, otherwise it might not be able to penetrate the thick pig skin.
After inserting a steel fork, a large amount of hot pig blood spurted out from the big wild boar's neck.
Zhang An's clothes and face were all wet.
However, the injured wild boar became even more crazy. It had no choice but to move towards Huang Mingmang in front of it, unable to do anything to help Zhang An on its back.
Going to suffer~
Under extreme urgency, Zhang An could only use all his strength.
Holding the handle of the steel fork tightly with both hands, he shouted loudly.
"Ha~~~"
He forcefully pushed the whole wild boar away and hit the ground next to Huang Ming.
Seeing that the wild boar wanted to turn around and attack him, Zhang An gritted his teeth in desperation, stood up, used all his strength, held the steel fork in his hand, and stabbed the wild boar's neck with all his strength.
He stabbed the wild boar in front of him through the neck and nailed it to the ground.
Maybe it was bleeding too much, or maybe Zhang An's stab gave it a fatal wound.
The male wild boar was nailed to the ground and twitched for a while, with blood flowing on the ground.
At this moment, Zhang An also fell straight to the ground, motionless.
The battle took place between lightning and flint. When the group behind them rushed over, Zhang An and the wild boar were already lying on the ground.
The only difference is that the wild boar is still twitching, while Zhang An is motionless.
After Zhang Jianguo rushed over, he rushed over and hugged his son.
"Xiao An, how are you?" Zhang Jianguo shouted anxiously. At this time, he was very worried. His son was lying on the ground motionless. If something happened, his family would be destroyed.
Everyone quickly gathered around to check on Zhang An.
"Dad, I'm fine. I'm just exhausted. Please turn on the kettle and give me some water."
After calming down, Zhang An looked at his crying father and used the last bit of strength in his body to speak to his father.
When Zhang Jianguo heard Zhang An's words, he quickly opened the lid of the kettle, brought it to Zhang An's mouth and slowly fed him a mouthful.
Huang Ming, who was on the side, had already fainted from fright when the wild boar was about to rush in front of him.
Fortunately, when Zhang An went out today, he brought out a pot of space spring water. This thing is a good thing to restore physical strength.
Zhang An lay in his father's arms, closed his eyes and rested for more than ten minutes before he recovered.
After I felt that I had regained some strength, I slowly got up.
"Xiao An, you feel uncomfortable somewhere in your body now." Although Zhang An said that he just lost strength.
However, there had been cases in the village of people bleeding to death after losing their strength, so Zhang Jianguo did not dare to relax.
"Dad, I'm fine. I just lost strength. This beast didn't touch me at all."
Zhang An felt that he had recovered and comforted his father.
If it had been before, I would have been knocked away by a wild boar.
But since he got the space, he eats and drinks with spring water every day. Zhang An's health is much better and his strength is much stronger than before, otherwise he would be in danger this time.
After seeing that Zhang An was fine, everyone around him noticed the situation of the wild boar.
"Guigui, such a big wild boar has been stabbed through. Zhang An is probably as strong as Lu Bu."
The people who were still hesitating on the ridge just now seemed to be fine now and started bragging again.
How do they know about the Water Margin of the Three Kingdoms? They heard it from the old man before. They didn't remember the others. Lu Bu, who was extremely powerful in battle, did remember it.
Now everyone is saying that Zhang An was alive when Lu Bu was alive.
Zhang An got up after resting enough. Although the male wild boar next to him was dead, his body was still twitching. Zhang An pulled out his steel fork, and immediately a large stream of blood came out.
"Dad, uncle, this one is completely dead. Let's go over and see the little tiger."
After hearing Zhang An's words, everyone remembered that there was a wild boar in the nest below.
I was nervous about my son just now. Now that my son is fine, I remembered that my three dogs were still fighting another wild boar.
When everyone walked to the nest, they found that the sow had been bitten by the three tiger cubs all over her body and her ears were bitten.
A bunch of little piglets lay shivering in the back.
They have never seen this scene before, usually their parents bully others, but who would have thought that today it was the other way around.
The female wild boar wanted to attack the three big dogs in front of her, but she was not as fast as the little tiger brothers.
There was no way for Xiaohu and the others to get close to them, and they were slipped around in circles.
The three brothers cooperated cleverly. Seeing that the female wild boar was exhausted, they rushed up and bit her neck.
Female wild boars do not have tusks as long as male wild boars, so attacking the enemy relies on savage charging with brute force.
The female wild boar, which had no strength at this time, lay completely and was being slaughtered by the dogs.
At that moment, Zhang An ran up with a steel fork, aimed at the neck and stabbed the steel fork in, killing the little sow.
The tiger cubs were also very embarrassed. It could be seen that although they had the upper hand, the price they paid was not small.
"Zhang An is really fierce. He can handle a big boar weighing two to three hundred pounds by himself, and several of your dogs can also handle a sow. What kind of owner raises what kind of dog."
"Uncle, I'm exaggerating. I wouldn't dare to do it again. It was too dangerous just now."
"Don't do this next time. If something happens to you, what will your mother and I do?" Seeing that his son was fine, Zhang Jianguo said to his son in a low voice.
Everyone was a little silent after hearing this, because Zhang Jianguo was an only son. At his age, if something happened to Zhang An, he would be dead.
"Okay, okay, luckily everything is fine, otherwise I wouldn't be able to explain today. By the way, these two big pigs were taken care of by Zhang An. I think it's up to Zhang An to decide whether these piglets should be killed directly or not.
What are your plans?"
Seeing that everyone was silent, the old village chief came out to liven up the atmosphere.
As long as nothing happens, everything will be fine.
Zhang An and Zhang Jianguo were asked what to do with the pig, but no one said anything, because the pig was killed by Zhang An and the three dogs, and they all agreed that it belonged to Zhang An's family.
They couldn't help me just now, and it's not that they didn't dare to speak up on this issue. If they spoke out, they might still be embarrassed in the village.
"Uncle, it's a pity to kill that little piglet. Please help catch it. I'll take it back and plan to raise it. I'll ask someone to carry the two big pigs back later, kill them and share the meat with the villagers."
Zhang An thought for a while and said, two pigs can produce a lot of meat, so he took it all. Although no one said anything, they still felt a little uncomfortable behind their backs.
My current conditions are not bad for this little meat, so why not share it generously with everyone so that everyone can remember it well.
"Zhang An is grand."
When the village chief heard Zhang An say that both pigs were killed and the meat was shared among the villagers, he immediately admired him.
He thought that Zhang An would share the meat, but it was enough to kill one head at most and share it with everyone. Unexpectedly, Zhang An killed both ends.
So I really admire this junior Zhang An, and if he hadn't been there just now, Huang Ming would probably have been crippled rather than dead.
It was difficult for them to carry the two pigs back, so they sent people back to the village to call for help.
Others also took the initiative to help Zhang An catch the piglets.
This group of young wild boars seemed to have just been born. After the sow fell down just now, they did not try to run away, but instead surrounded the sow's body.
Only then did the old village chief realize that Huang Ming was still unconscious and had not woken up.
He walked over and pinched the person who pinched him, and pinched him to wake him up.
"Uncle, you were also killed by a big wild boar."
This guy woke up and looked at the old village chief and said something piercingly.
The angry old village chief gave Huang Zhengbiao a slap in the face in front of him.
"You little bastard, I told you not to come but you insisted on coming. You can't even climb up the ridge. If it weren't for Zhang An, you would have ended up here today."
No one blamed him for being so frightened that he fainted, but as a child who grew up in the village, he couldn't even climb up the ridge, so it was a bit embarrassing to tell him.
The old village chief was a little confused just now. He didn't expect that Huang Ming didn't climb up.
In his mind, even if he felt that Huang Ming couldn't help, at least he could climb the slope and not be held back.
But reality did give the old village chief a slap in the face. His usual lively temperament was indeed unreliable.
Huang Ming, who was still a little dazed at first, was slapped awake by the village elder.
