Chapter 5 Encounters with Wild Boars

Hearing that there was a wild boar, Nie Tianming was highly nervous, clenched the wooden stick in his hand, and Zhang Sheng was even more cat-waisted, looking around.

Whining forward, he took two steps forward, stopped, and let out a whining roar with his mouth open.

For such a thing as encountering wild boars, Father Nie is still not surprised, but this time is different.

In the early years, when hunting wild boars, traps were made in advance, and the guys in their hands were more comfortable than crossbows.

Now with his son and Zhang Sheng, not only is it difficult to show his strengths, but he also has to be distracted from their safety.

After all, as the saying goes, one pig, two bears and three tigers.

This statement is not groundless, but a conclusion based on bloody facts, ranked according to the degree of danger of the three animals to people, rather than specific combat strength.

Bears and tigers are generally difficult to encounter, and even if they do, they will not rashly attack humans unless they are in exceptional circumstances.

But wild boars are more common in the mountains than bears and tigers, and they are aggressive by nature, strong in physique, and have great endurance.

What's more, they live in the deep mountains and old forests all year round, rolling in the mud and scratching on the pine trees, and their bodies have long been wrapped in a thick layer of armor.

Ordinary weapons are impenetrable, let alone Orion's own earthen guns and crossbows, so they are extremely threatening.

"You wait here first, listen to the sound of the boar and we are still some distance away, I will go to find out the situation first. ”

Reaching out to stop Zhang Sheng, who was eager to try, Father Nie carried the crossbow, patted the buttocks of the roaring ground, and motioned to go with him.

"In your father's eyes, we're not as useful as a dog. ”

Zhang Sheng saw that Nie's father didn't plan to take him, so he spread his hands and said to Nie Tianming with a smile.

"Don't be poor, really put a few hundred pounds of wild boar in front of you, and you can run faster than anyone else. ”

Nie Tianming stuffed the last piece of cake into his mouth and muttered back to Zhang Sheng.

Since Father Nie had spoken, the two of them had to comply, but listening to the howl of the wild boar running, their hearts were itching.

The two of them stared wide-eyed, and both saw the desire for the wild boar in each other's eyes.

"Let's go!"

The two hit it off and followed Daddy Nie's route.

At this time, Father Nie followed the sound and was already close to the location where the wild boar had just appeared.

Because there are too many weeds and shrubs in the deep mountains, although they block the view, for a behemoth like a wild boar, as long as it passes, it is impossible not to leave traces, so it has become a natural tracking clue.

"Wang~"

A low cry sounded, accompanied by the frightened howl of a wild boar.

Nie Daddy hurriedly walked a few steps and hurried to the location of the whistling ground.

When he turned around and saw Nie Tianming and Zhang Sheng who were following him, he didn't say anything.

The three of them came to Roaring Land, where it was confronting a fat, sturdy boar.

The wild boar looks at it, there are about more than 400 catties, in the deep mountains and old forests, this size is really rare, there is really a bigger body than it, that is, the legendary wild boar king.

Unlike the pink body of the domestic pig, the wild boar in front of him was dark, and the sparse pig hair on his body was long and sharp, like a steel needle, covered with pine resin armor, which shone in the sun.

There are two thick white fangs at the corners of the mouth, which are particularly eye-catching on the pitch-black wild boar.

Fighting with such a guy who has both offense and defense, Nie Tianming really can't tell the winner.

But Zhang Sheng on the side was different, his face was full of excitement, if it weren't for the fact that he just had a wooden stick in his hand, I am afraid that he would have rushed forward to fight with the wild boar.

"Uncle, shall we eat wild boar tonight?"

Because wild boars run and forage in the mountains all year round, the meat quality is tighter than that of domestic fat pigs, and the taste is more delicious, and it can also be used in medicine, which has the effect of dispelling wind and detoxifying and maintaining the skin, as long as it has been eaten, it will make people unforgettable.

Speaking of wild boar, Nie Tianming relaxed from his nervousness, except for when he was a child, his father often ate wild boars when he went up the mountain to catch them, and he really hasn't tasted them again in recent years.

Nie Tianming was also drooling, looking forward to a rich dinner in the evening.

Seeing that there were three more threats in front of him, the wild boar's cry became sharper, but instead of running away, he kicked the ground with his hind legs, changing from the defensive posture just now to the offensive posture.

With a howl, the boar's powerful hind legs raised a cloud of dirt, lowered its head and aimed its fangs at the most threatening roaring ground, and rushed over.

Seeing that the wild boar had already charged, he was not in a hurry, and when he was about to approach him, he quickly left the place and let the wild boar pounce.

Killing the fighting spirit of the prey, this is a psychological tactic.

He has been hunting with Father Nie for more than ten years, although the number of times he has gone up the mountain has become less and less in recent years, but his hunting ability has not fallen at all.

After the attack was neutralized, the boar quickly stopped and turned around.

But Roaring didn't give it a chance, and as it stopped, its golden claws slapped against the boar's body, and the glittering pine resin armor was scratched with white scratches.

Although the Roaring Ground attack did not cause substantial damage, the boar fell and slid a few steps on the ground due to the unstable center of gravity.

"Smack!"

Father Nie did not use the crossbow arrow in his hand, but slapped the ground with a wooden stick, startling the wrenching ground and the wild boar who were fighting.

It was also this moment of stunned time that he looked at Father Nie with a roar, but the wild boar took this opportunity to burrow directly into the bushes and disappeared.

"Don't chase it, I really can't eat this wild boar today. ”

"Dad, just now the roaring ground and the wild boar were on par, why don't you use a crossbow to help?"

Ignoring the frustration of the two boys, Father Nie stretched out his finger and pointed at the wild boar and said to them, "Do you see any difference between it and ordinary wild boars?"

"Wild boars don't all look the same, so what's the difference. ”

Zhang Sheng, who came back from the army, just wanted to show his strength, compete with wild boars, and try to see if his physical fitness had declined, but he didn't think about it, but he was stirred up, and said stupidly.

Nie Tianming has been taught some basic knowledge of hunting in the mountains since he was a child, and he has been reminded by his father, and he has only found out.

The fangs of this wild boar just now are not so protruding, indicating that this is a female wild boar.

And its abdomen is obviously sagging, and each feeding organ is a little reddish, which looks like a wild boar in the nursing period, that is, a wild boar mother.

This just shows that in the deep mountains, there should be a lot of little wild boar cubs.

Nie Tianming understood what his father meant, since this wild boar still had a baby to feed, there was no need to hunt and kill it.

Don't hunt three spring birds, don't eat April fish, this is also a common practice in the countryside.

The villagers understand that they can't do their best to catch fish, otherwise they will only be for the sake of small interests in the moment, and they may not have food for themselves and their children and grandchildren in the future.

"Ding~" [System Prompt]: Zixiao Sun Xian, filial piety value +10.

This can also increase the value of filial piety? Nie Tianming was ecstatic in his heart.

After explaining to Zhang Sheng, he suddenly realized: "It turned out to be a long line to catch a big fish, Gao Ming ~ Gao Ming ~"

Father Nie patted his head and said: "Wild boar is indispensable for you to eat, wait until late autumn to come back, then the little piglets can grow up more, the little wild boar at that time is the best, and the meat of the big wild boar is still a little firewood." ”

As he spoke, Father Nie stroked the fur of the roaring ground to calm down its high fighting spirit.

"Get out of here, wild boars usually appear in groups, and if we encounter a herd of wild boars, the three of us can't resist it. ”

Nie Lao Dad took out his knife and made a mark on the tree, wild boars generally have a relatively fixed territory for future hunting.

The three of them walked in the opposite direction where the wild boar had fled, preparing to hunt some pheasants and pick up some wild walnut mountain goods.

Wheezing, who had just experienced the battle, was extremely excited, running back and forth and jumping incessantly, and several opportunities to ambush and shoot pheasants were ruined.

As a last resort, Nie Tianming could only lead the ground and prevent it from making trouble again.

Slowly approaching the west, Nie Tianming's willow basket is also full of harvest: two hares, three pheasants, and a newly adult cat badger, and the pecans are even more full of baskets.

Twisted into a rope with weeds, Zhang Sheng tied two hares to four feet, one on each side of the stick, and carried it on his shoulders, beaming proudly.

Before the sun had completely set, a group of three people hummed a little song and rushed back to Nanquan Village.

"I haven't heard of anyone's crops being ruined recently, why do wild boars still go out of the mountains to forage?"

"Usually wild boars eat wild fruits, berries, wild sweet potatoes, etc., which are ripe in the forest, and occasionally eat rats or something. The wild boar in the morning must have just given birth to piglets, and the nutrition could not keep up, so they thought about going out of the mountains to dig in the crops. ”

On the way down the mountain, Nie's father was worried that the crops in the village would be spoiled by wild boars, after all, it was the beginning of autumn, and there were still a few days before the harvest, so don't go wrong.

Today is the biggest regret for Nie Tianming and Zhang Sheng when they didn't catch the wild boar, and the two of them are thinking about when the next time they will go up the mountain.

"Lao Nie, what good things did you catch up on the mountain?"

As soon as they entered the village, the uncles and aunts who were sitting at the entrance of the village were busy greeting each other.

"It's still the same, nothing new, let's pay attention these days, wild boars are likely to come out of the mountains, don't let them spoil the crops." ”

"Changsheng, my daughter-in-law just gave birth in the past few days, can you buy a pheasant to replenish her body?"

Aunt Qin, who was wrapped in a headscarf who spoke, really talked about seniority, and Nie Tianming had to drive her to call her aunt.

"The folks in the township, what to buy or not. ”

Nie Tianming comprehended, quickly unloaded the willow basket, took out a pheasant from it, took out the pecans, and divided them one by one.

"What a good offspring this kid Tianming, Aunt Ming will be your matchmaker~"

After receiving the pheasant handed over, Aunt Qin smiled and wrinkled into a ball, and said with a smile.

Life in the countryside is quiet and warm, not so annoying, and Nie Tianming seems to yearn for the city with all the lights.
