Chapter 15 Pig Hunting
Old hunters who often walk in the mountains and forests know a saying: it is better to mess with a tiger than a wild boar. It means that wild boars are more terrible than tigers.
It's hard for ordinary people to understand, because in their perception the tiger is the king of the forest, roaring in the mountains and forests, fierce and incomparable, and the result is not as good as a pig? This is simply the funniest joke in the world.
However, they don't know that although the tiger is fierce, for hunters, their hunting knives, bows, crossbows, and steel forks can penetrate the skin and flesh of the tiger, so against a fierce tiger, even if it is nine deaths, there is still a chance to fight. But the wild boar is different, because the wild boar likes to bathe in muddy water, and often rubs its body against tree trunks, rocks or other hard objects, and over time it will form a very hard protective layer, so that the hunter's hunting knife, bow and crossbow, and steel fork can not hurt it at all, but the angry wild boar has an extremely terrible collision force, and it is definitely a tragic end of intestinal rot when it is pushed by its fangs. Therefore, there is a saying that it is better to mess with tigers than wild boars.
All in all, it is very unwise to provoke a wild boar in the forest, and to provoke an adult male boar is basically the same as asking for death.
So when Zhang Youxiong and Li Dahe saw the huge male wild boar that was itching in the distance under the guidance of Zhang Xiaopaw, their first reaction was not surprise, but fright. To be honest, if they hadn't been forced to be anxious, they wouldn't have wanted to provoke this fool if they were killed.
"Fuck it!" Zhang Youxiong swallowed his saliva, waved his fist fiercely, as if to boost himself, and then ordered: "Gather everyone over, touch quietly, don't startle the wild boar." ”
"Good. Zhang Xiaopaw and a few people took the order.
Soon more than a hundred people were summoned back, their eyes lit up, they were eager to try, and they couldn't wait to urge Zhang Youxiong and Li Dahe to assign tasks.
"Listen to all those who are in charge of laying the nets, give you a quarter of an hour to go around to the opposite side, and then set up the first interception net a hundred paces from the wild boar, and then set up one every fifty paces, and so on, and lay down all ten nets for Lao Tzu, and hang up the barbs. When everything is ready, you whistle, and we'll drive you away. Remember, after the nets are laid, all the trees are for Lao Tzu to find the largest and thickest tree. Go ahead. Zhang Youxiong commanded.
More than two dozen people immediately took action and quietly touched the opposite side of the wild boar.
The interception net is specially prepared for large animals or large-scale hunting, similar to a fishing net, the net line is made of jute skin, the thin one has the thickness of the little thumb, the thick one is thicker than the thumb, the bottom end of the net is generally fixed on the ground with a wooden peg, the top end is generally fixed on the trunk of the tree, if there is no tree, it is supported with a wooden stick, the net body has an inverted bag, the prey plunges into it and then thinks of coming out, the net body can also hook the thorns, and the prey once it is hung by the hook thorns, it is not to want to break free.
The rest of the people spread out in a fan pattern, half-surrounding the boar. The gongs, steel forks, bows and arrows, and hunting knives are all ready, and when I give the order, they all attack and drive them to the opposite side. Remember, if the boar is attacking indiscriminately, the person being attacked must not run in a straight line, unless you are confident that you can outrun the boar, or think that your ass can withstand the fangs of the boar, run around the curve of the tree, and then find an opportunity to climb the tree. Do you understand? If you understand it, you will find a place and disperse. Zhang Youxiong commanded again.
The people of the two villages had practiced hunting, so Zhang Youxiong's instructions would be understood as soon as they heard it. Disperse around in formation, find a place to hide, and be on standby at any time.
"You use a gong, I use a bow. Niu Dawa said to Zhang Xiaopai.
"Why don't you use a gong?" Zhang Xiaopaw said with a roll of his eyes. Although the gong is the best tool to drive away the prey, it is warped and scared to the prey, but it is enjoyable to shoot with a bow and arrow when hitting the gong, so Zhang Xiaopaw is reluctant.
"You sound good at banging the gong. Niu Dawa casually made up a reason.
"-Why don't I knock it out a song "Big Girl, You Are the Most Beautiful"?" Zhang Xiaopai said speechlessly.
"Then it will definitely go berserk immediately, because it is a boar. Niu Dawa said.
“——”
About two quarters of an hour later, a shrill whistle rang through the forest and reached everyone's ears.
The wild boar was lying down under the tree to sleep after rubbing the itch, and when he heard the whistle, he immediately pricked up his ears and got up, looked around vigilantly, and found that there was nothing unusual, and then he lay down again to continue sleeping.
While!
A deafening gong sounded immediately afterward, which was Zhang Youxiong's offensive signal.
Sou!
Niu Dawa's bow and arrow were already ready to go, and when she heard the signal, she was the first to shoot out. Dozens of arrows were fired from the fan-shaped encirclement, each of which was aimed at the black boar with a sharp cracking sound, all aimed at its head.
Niu Dawa's archery skills are not bad, only a little error, he didn't hit the eye he aimed at in advance, he deviated slightly upwards and hit the eyebrow bone.
Bang.
Niu Dawa's eyes widened.
The arrow hit the black boar's eyebrow bone, and it was bounced away with a bang, and the black boar's skin was not broken at all, which was completely different from what Niu Dawa expected.
The black boar snorted and crawled up, and before he could understand what was going on, dozens of arrows followed him overwhelmingly, but the result was the same, all of them were bounced off by the thick skin of the black boar.
Dangdang!
The man who struck the gong struck the gong in his hand vigorously, and his mouth was accompanied by a threatening cry, and the bearer of the bow also called for peace, and at the same time continued to shoot arrows with his bow, all aimed at the vital point of the black boar.
Funny, the black boar seems to have never seen such a big battle, but he stood in place and was stunned for a while before he reacted, chased and roared, and ran in one direction, which was the direction in which the trap was laid without the sound of gongs.
Knock Knock Knock –
The huge body of the black boar ran like a moving hill, shaking the ground and shaking the dead branches and leaves from the towering trees.
As soon as it ran, the momentum of the encirclement and drive here became louder, and the sound of the gong shook the sky.
Niu Dawa was very depressed, although his arrows were accurate, most of them were shot on the back and buttocks of the wild boar, and they could not cause any lethality to the wild boar. Fortunately, this thing can't catch up with the black boar, otherwise he might have to hold a steel fork to poke the black boar's ass.
A hundred steps away from each other was very close, and the black boar rushed to the first trap for a while, without a pause, and plunged into the big net, but only heard a few muffled bangs, the net rope was like paper paste, and as soon as it hit the black boar's body, it was broken by the black boar, and the barb hook hanging on the net could not penetrate the skin of the black boar.
"Knock hard, don't stop the bow and arrow!" Zhang Youxiong shouted, the first net being torn apart was completely expected by him, otherwise he would not have let all ten nets be laid down.
Fifty steps, the second trap.
Once again, the black boar easily broke through the net.
Another fifty steps, the third trap.
The net is broken.
Another fifty steps, the fourth trap.
The net is broken.
Another fifty steps, the fifth trap.
The net is broken.
......
Another fifty steps, the eighth trap.
The net rope was as thick as a thumb, and the black wild boar that broke seven nets plunged into it, arching for a while before breaking the net, and it could be seen that its physical strength had been greatly consumed.
Another fifty steps, the ninth trap.
"Quick! Take down all the broken nets, and when it gets into the nets and struggles, cover them all! Take out the steel forks, ready to fuck it!" Zhang Youxiong shouted eagerly.
All are commanded to do so.
Just when everyone held their breath and waited for the black wild boar to enter the net, the black wild boar suddenly braked sharply and stopped. It seemed to sense the danger, and stood in front of the net and roared furiously, its nostrils snorting and spewing hot air, and suddenly it flung around, reversed direction, and then ran wildly with its sharp fangs.
"Danger!" Zhang Youxiong roared urgently. The black boar's operation was something he never expected, as if after breaking eight nets in a row, the black boar suddenly learned to think, and no longer drilled into the net, but turned around to break through.
The people who stood in the way of the black boar's progress turned green with a brush of faces, and the terrifying and destructive power of this black guy was all seen with their own eyes, and they didn't dare to face this black guy with a hundred dares. Fortunately, Zhang Youxiong had been reminded in advance, so although they were shocked, they did not panic, they spotted a tree, and rushed up in three or two clicks. They all grew up in the mountains, and they are all good at diving on the trees.
"Damn, it's going to run away!" someone yelled in a hurry, but there was nothing to do, this was simply a moving iron lump, and there was nowhere to start.
"No! It's going crazy! Erba, hold on!" Zhang Youxiong roared urgently, his voice crossed.
Everyone was puzzled, but the black boar gave them an answer in the next moment.
I saw the black wild boar rampage all the way, and finally hit a big tree. With a bang, the ground shook. A few thick tree trunks were buzzed by it, and the leaves fell overwhelmingly, and there was a figure that fell with the leaves, which was the second egg shouted by Zhang Youxiong.
Bang, Erdan screamed and fell, the thick dead branches and fallen leaves on the ground played a good cushioning role, he didn't fall injured, but before he had time to rejoice for this, he was frightened by a pig's face on his head, the black boar was waiting for him under the tree, and the fishy heat from his nostrils was spraying on his face.
Erdan was frightened all over, and he collapsed there without thinking.
The black boar was already manic, opened its fishy mouth, and bit it on the second egg's head.
