Chapter 19: The Harvest

After nearly half an hour of cleaning, the wild boars that had fallen into the pit were pulled up, and the injured boars were shot several times (except for the largest boar) to ensure that they could not die again.

Masara slowly walked up to the big boar that had been stabbed and covered in blood, but still had its eyes wide open and not dead, and calmly looked at its blood-red eyes.

"Although you are a wild boar, your bravery deserves my respect, but unfortunately in this territory, you and I are destined to only survive. I will treat your offspring well", Masarashi said in Mandarin as he slowly pulled out the Tai Blade knife at his waist.

"Go with confidence."

"Hiss", a cold light flashed on the trachea of the big wild boar, and then a trace of red appeared on the wild boar's neck. As if he understood the meaning of Masayo's words through Masayo's eyes, the wild boar finally slowly closed his eyes. Of course, Masato did not fool this big wild boar, he planned to domesticate the few small wild boars he had just captured into domestic pigs, and finally let the first domesticated wild boars in these territories die naturally and be buried, in recognition of their contribution to the next generation of domestic pigs that have bred many in their territory.

The people behind him saw that the lord said a few strange words to the wild boar, and then the wild boar, who had been refusing to close his eyes, actually closed his eyes and died, and suddenly felt incredible, and hurriedly cheered, "The lord is mighty."

Masara turned around, waved his hand, signaled for everyone to be quiet, and then shouted, "Warriors, you have proved your bravery with your actions, and I am proud of you. Therefore, all the people who participated in the action today, after returning to the town, each person can receive a bucket of grains and 20 catties of pork."

"Ahh Long live your lord! When they heard that there was a reward, the crowd immediately cheered.

After the battle, Masarashi hurriedly ordered everyone to fill in the pit and make a fire to prepare for cooking on the spot (there was a big battle, and it was already noon, everyone was already hungry), and then sent two old hunters back to the town to inform Onishi Kuniji and ask him to send someone to take the wild boars away, after all, most of the people here were exhausted and must not have the strength to carry the boar carcass away.

After arranging everything, Masarashi looked at Tsuda Hiromune, who was following behind him, and asked, "Hiromune, tell me about the cleanup."

"Yes, Your Highness", Tsuda Hiromune quickly calmed down, because he was also surprised by the lord's miraculous performance just now, "Your Highness, this round-up, a total of 12 adult wild boars were hunted and 1 adult sow escaped. Among the adult wild boars hunted, the heaviest is estimated to be more than 300 catties, and the lightest is also more than 150 catties. Six were captured alive, two escaped, and two were killed by mistake during the roundup. ”

"How's the injury?" Masarashi continued to ask.

"Your Highness, 12 people were lightly wounded by the spear foot, no personnel were injured at the bow and arrow foot light, and 3 people were slightly wounded by the old hunter; Five iron spears had their handles broken, and one fishing net had been broken," said Tsuda Hiromune, grinning. It's no wonder that Tsuda Hiromune smiled so happily, and it was a big victory to hunt so many wild boars without any deaths.

Masahiro also felt that this pig hunt operation had gained a lot. The first is that the territory will be free from the threat of wild boars for a long time, which is conducive to the reclamation of fields in this direction. Secondly, these porks can appropriately alleviate the pressure of the little grain left in the current territory; After all, it is easy for a warrior who has not experienced a real battle to escape, and in the eyes of many people, wild boars are far more terrible than bandits, since wild boars can be defeated, are bandits still terrible? When you go back, you will mix these ashigaru in the original ashigaru training team, and you will play a very good leading role in the battle. …,

"Your Highness, what should we do with the few wild boars that escaped, should we send someone to search along the footprints", Tsuda Hiromune suggested.

"No, Guangzong, no need. The few wild boars that escaped will probably migrate farther away to join the larger herd, and it is difficult to find a few wild boars in such a dense woods", said Masayo, "until a new herd of wild boars arrives, the territory is temporarily free from wild boars." ”

"Then, Your Highness, what is the lunch for lunch?" , Tsuda Hiromune said in a slurring voice while looking at several wild boar bodies next to him.

Looking at the bald man's hesitant expression in front of him, Zhengliang felt very funny, so he smiled and said to him, "Guangzong, cut some fresh wild boar, clean it, and then let's roast the wild boar at noon."

"Yes, Your Highness, I'll arrange it right away", Tsuda Hiromune was immediately excited and hurriedly ran to make arrangements.

Soon, the smell of meat wafted through the makeshift camp. Smelling the faint aroma of pork, Masahiro couldn't help but sigh deeply, he didn't expect that after coming here, eating a meal of pork would be such a luxury and even a matter of life and death. Thinking of the afterlife, it can be bought casually.

After a delicious lunch, Masara finds Shinzo and asks him to lead the way to the wild boar's den. Fearing that the escaped female boar would return to the den, Masarashi brought 11 bows and arrows with him. Leaving the lightly wounded Lancer and the Old Hunter to guard the makeshift camp and wait for the arrival of the Territory's people.

After nearly half an hour of cutting thorns and thorns, I finally came to the wild boar's nest, the surroundings were quiet, looking at the past from afar, I saw that the small cave where the wild boar's nest was located was very small, only able to accommodate a few wild boars to shelter from the wind and rain. Several people went in and searched, but found nothing. The escaped female boar was clearly planning to abandon the nest. Wandering around the old nest, he finally found what he was looking for next to a low bush in the middle of an open field. That's right, pig manure. This pile of pig manure is estimated to be at least 1,000 catties, and with it, the fertilizer for testing the field will be guaranteed.

"Your Highness, Your Highness", just as Masahiro was thinking about how to use this pig dung, he heard someone shouting at him from a distance. Zhengliang smiled slightly, he didn't need to look at it to know that the rule of the country of Onishi had arrived, and only this guy would shout at him from afar.

"Your Highness, I heard that you were injured?" , Onishi Kuniji hurriedly ran over and asked with concern. The interests and fate of his retainers are closely related to the lord, and it is no wonder that he is so nervous.

Forehead! Masashi was stunned by Onishi Kuniji's words. Only then did I notice my own image. To be honest, Masahiro's current appearance is indeed very embarrassing, in order to avoid being discovered by wild boars, his whole body was smeared with mud at first, and later in the struggle, in the process of falling to the ground and flying out, his thighs, back, and back of his hands were torn by weeds and shrubs, and his skin and flesh were also scratched to varying degrees. was mentioned by Onishi Guoji, and suddenly felt a slight pain coming from these parts.

"Well, it's a little bit of a minor injury, but it doesn't matter", Zhengliang had to answer truthfully, "Guozhi, do you see it?" Then he changed his words, "Let people transport these things to my field, and after they are done, they will send 10 catties of pork per person."

"Yes, Your Highness", Onishi Kuniji has gradually become accustomed to these strange orders from Masaara, "But, Your Highness, do you hurry back to the territory to deal with the wounds, the temporary camp has been sorted out, and I am waiting for His Highness to go back."

"Okay, then let's go back to the territory first", Masara also felt that the current situation really needed to be sorted out.

Back at the camp, the ashigaru had already sorted everything out, and six small wild boars were carrying around with fishing nets, two in one fishing net, and then carried by two ashigaru. Adult wild boars are carried by two or four feet on all fours, with the largest boar requiring six people to carry it. …,

The rest of the Ashigaru who are training in the territory are here. Seeing this, Masato secretly became worried, and it seemed that he had to leave immediately, lest there be any changes in the territory due to the lack of force. So, led by Masayo, a wild boar transport team of dozens of people after the ruin of Onishi Guozhi marched to the territory along a trail temporarily reclaimed during the coming of Onishi Guozhi. As he walked forward, he scanned the surrounding terrain and secretly made up his mind that this place would be reclaimed as part of the territory as soon as possible.

The team walked all the way, stopping and stopping, and after more than an hour, they finally approached the edge of the woods, and the territory was close at hand.

Before he could get out of the edge of the woods, he heard a commotion in the distance. It seems that after hearing the news that the lord had hunted and attacked the wild boar in the territory, the people of the territory spontaneously gathered outside the woods and waited for the return of the pig hero.

Masahiro was the first to walk out of the woods, and what caught his eye was the resentful face of Togo Heiji, could he not complain, his son-in-law was injured, and he didn't know how injured Lu Dao was, and his family's future life could count on him. Standing behind Togo Heiji are Togo Ju, Matsumiko and other female dependents, well, and the little girl standing next to her with her neck stretched and watching. The last is the old and weak people in the territory, and the patrol team is responsible for the defense of the territory, and is now guarding the edge of the town.

"Big brother, big brother", the little girl with big eyes was the first to notice Masaliang, and then shouted crisply.

"Ahh It's Lord Lord. Look, behind him is Ashigaru-sama, who went to hunt pigs in the morning. The crowd suddenly boiled and cheered enthusiastically.

"Huh!" Masara was taken aback by the enthusiasm of the people, and then immediately thought that his current image seemed inconvenient for the people to see. But the matter has come to this point, so I can only bite the bullet, "Ha Lu haha", Zhengliang pretended to respond to the people with a relaxed smile. Fortunately, the black mud is smeared, and if you don't observe carefully, no one will find yourself gone.

"Look, Lord Lord, it's so dark!" "Ah! Your lord, you're mighty," shouted several young women.

When Masahiro heard this, he immediately sweated profusely. Could it be that there are also star chasers in this era?

Behind him, Tsuda Hiromune laughed, and then said to himself, "It turns out that I am also so admired!" ”。 The previous Zhengliang suddenly stumbled, it turns out that this product also has such narcissistic potential. The ashigaru people, who followed closely behind Masarashi and Tsuda Hiromune, held their heads high and walked forward in unison, this time it was finally chic.

When they saw the six little wild boars that were still struggling in the fishing nets that were carried out one after another behind Masahiro, the crowd was even more boiling. "Look, what's that? Mother, what's that? This is obviously the voice of the little girl. And when 12 adult wild boars were lifted out one after another, especially the big wild boar of more than 300 catties, the excitement of the crowd reached its peak. Some of them even began to bow down to Masayo, and yes, the lords attributed all this to their great oracle lord, and it is conceivable that after this incident, more people will have their idols enshrined in their homes.

Standing in the crowd, looking at these smiling farmers, Zhengliang felt a sense of pride and relief. The so-called joy on joy, Zhengliang immediately announced that he would clean up the wild boar in the school yard and distribute 10 catties of pork to each household. This policy immediately caused more people to bow down. After the reward was announced, Masara instructed Togo Heiji to place the little wild boar in the pigsty, and the pigsty needed to be heightened and reinforced, and to be honest, after a big battle with the wild boar, Masara felt that the current pigsty was a bit thin. The day-to-day management of the little wild boar is taken care of by Matsumiko and the six widows she found, and in return, they can each receive an extra 10 catties of pork. Onishi was responsible for cleaning up the adult wild boars and organizing the distribution of pork to the people, and as for the fertilizer that was tested in the fields, it would need to be arranged tomorrow. The remaining pork will be dried into bacon and stored for use as winter food. Wild boar offal is preferentially distributed to injured ashigaru as well as old hunters.

After arranging all this, Masarashi hurried to his hut, he wanted to take a shower and change his clothes. But he didn't know that at this moment, in his residence, there was an emergency waiting for him to deal with.
