Chapter 47: Killing the Pig
The sound came from the side of the fire, and Liu Qing ran over to see that the fire had been extinguished and was doused by the water in the pot. Of course, the faucet pot he used for so long has been destroyed, and the bones are not resistant to burning, because there is water in it, it has been used for so long, if it is an empty pot, I am afraid it will have been burned into ashes long ago!
Liu Qing picked up the faucet pot, looked left and right, and sighed, there is no way, if it is broken, it will be broken, and I will think of other ways in the future!
Fortunately, ginger beans were cooked in the pot this time, otherwise, a pot of broth would have been wasted. Sometimes, when encountering bad things, you still need to think about the good aspects, otherwise, people may not be able to live anymore. Take out the ginger beans in the pot and take a look, they are actually cooked, hehe, this is also the last meritorious service of the leading pot!
After eating ginger beans, Liu Qing began to plan, how to catch those guys who are engaged in their own ginger beans, don't think about it, it must be some kind of animal, if it is a weevil-trunked pig or something, it is easy to say, you can catch it, and you can eat their meat, but if it is a dinosaur...... Liu Qing felt that he didn't have the ability to kill a dinosaur now, even the smallest one. It is not possible to kill dinosaurs unless he can shoot arrows at very close range, hitting them in the eye with a poisoned arrow.
Since this thing loves to eat ginger beans, you might as well dig it out and put it in a pile, hide it yourself, and observe it to see what animal stole it, and then decide whether to kill it or not.
took Xiao Wu and returned to the ginger bean field together, Liu Qing buried his head in digging more than a dozen and stacked them in the open space on the side, which was extremely conspicuous. Then he hid with Xiao Wu in the dense grass behind him, about ten meters away, believing that as long as he didn't move, those animals would not find out. Xiao Wu didn't know what he was going to do, but he also lay on the ground with him, and his little paws grabbed the rotten grass and leaves on the ground from time to time to play.
The sun was slowly setting towards the west, Liu Qing saw that it was getting later and later, and he was a little impatient, before it got dark, he had to rush back to the cave, otherwise once the night fell, he didn't know what danger would be.
Just as he was about to leave, a group of animals appeared, none other than weevil-nosed pigs, with their signature long trunks and tusks, and a conspicuous bristle like spines. The group of weevil-nosed pigs swayed into the ginger bean field, and after a while, they heard a humming sound, which seemed to be arching the ground, and then there was a clicking and clattering sound of eating, which should be gnawing on the arched ginger beans.
Liu Qing immediately understood, it turned out that these elephant-trunked pigs had been eating ginger beans for a long time, and he didn't discover them first. After a while, a few weevil-trunked pigs seemed to be full, and slowly emerged from the ginger bean field with big bellies. Two smaller ones saw the ginger beans stacked in the open space, and immediately ran over excitedly.
"Sure enough, it's them!" Liu Qing was a little annoyed, but then he was happy, this is a way! He can take advantage of the weevil-nosed pig's love to eat ginger beans, set a trap, and kill them! Haha! It's so smart!
But Xiao Wu didn't know what Liu Qing was thinking, it just saw these two small weevil-trunked pigs gnawing on those ginger beans, maybe it was the instinct of the carnivore that played a role, it actually jumped out all of a sudden, and the tiger pounced on it!
Xiao Wu is already much larger, a little bigger than the two elephant trunk pigs, and perhaps in his opinion, these two elephant trunk pigs are no match for him at all. But Liu Qing doesn't think so, not to mention that there are so many elephant trunk pigs, just these two, for Xiao Wu, who has no hunting experience, Liu Qing doesn't think it has a chance of winning at all.
However, Xiao Wu's speed was extremely amazing, and in the blink of an eye, he had already pounced on one of the weevil-nosed pigs, and the bloody tiger fiercely aimed at the weevil-nosed pig's back and bit down.
The other weevil-nosed pig was suddenly frightened, kicked the ground with all four hooves, jumped straight up, and ran away with a twist. The elephant trunk pig that was pounced on by Xiao Wu also made the same action, but the movement was slightly slower. It was this brief moment that Xiao Wu's fangs had bitten into the flesh of its shoulder.
"Squeak!" the weevil-trunked pig was in pain, and after screaming, its four hooves also rose into the air, and Xiao Wu was almost thrown off. However, Xiao Wu's sharp claws also increased their grip at the same time, and the sharp hook claws that protruded from the palm of the meat pierced through the bristles and cut into the flesh of the weevil-trunked pig.
The mouth was gritted, and the two fangs pierced through the bristles into the flesh of the weevil-trunked pig, without any intention of letting go. The weevil-nosed pig kept bouncing, desperate to escape the fate of being killed. However, everything seemed to be in vain, and Xiao Wu had no intention of letting go at all.
The frightened cry of another weevil-trunked pig that escaped immediately caused a commotion, and the remaining weevil-trunked pigs all came out of the ginger bean field and watched their companions being hunted and killed by Xiao Wu. The weevil-trunked pigs screamed miserably, but the weevil-trunked pigs were indifferent, and after a while, a group of weevil-trunked pigs turned around and walked away.
Liu Qing was dumbfounded, he really didn't expect this to be the case, he thought that Xiao Wu would pounce directly like this, which would cause the weevil-trunked pig group to counterattack, so he and Xiao Wu would definitely have to run away, but a group of big guys watched this little one being killed.
The weevil-nosed pigs are gone, Liu Qing also came out of the grass, the little weevil-nosed pigs are not dead, they have already jumped more than ten meters away with Xiao Wu, and now they have no strength, they were pressed to the ground by Xiao Wu, and the position of the tiger's bite has also changed, becoming a throat.
Seeing Liu Qing coming, Xiao Wu still didn't let go, but roared in a low voice in his throat, which was not only like an angry roar, but also like showing off to Liu Qing. Liu Qing took out a pistol and fired a shot into the eye of the weevil-trunked pig, and suddenly the blood burst open, and the bullet penetrated directly into the brain, and the little weevil-trunked pig's body twitched and stopped moving.
It should have been aware that the prey had lost the ability to resist, Xiao Wu gradually loosened his teeth and claws, there was still a little blood stains on his mouth, and he looked up at Liu Qing, which had a kind of "look! It's that simple".
Liu Qing was also very helpless, he really didn't know that such a large group of weevil-nosed pigs would actually watch his companions being killed and killed, he had known that this would be the case, and the last time he met that group, he should have gotten back first. Although this one is small, it looks fat, and there is a lot of meat.
It was getting late and late, Liu Qing quickly cleaned up, braided a straw rope with a dry ginger bean stalk, and tried his strength, which was quite strong. Roughly tied up the dead piglets, and dragged them into the cave.
After walking for about ten meters, he couldn't walk. This pig does not look big, but the weight is not small, to say the least, it must weigh seventy or eighty pounds. It is far more laborious to drag such a heavy thing on the ground than to carry it directly, not to mention that the ground is not yet flat, and there are blades of grass and stones everywhere. With such a distance of about ten meters, Liu Qing was tired, and the rope was broken.
Xiao Wu on the side also tried to bite the pig's neck with his mouth, and struggled to bite it, but he couldn't hold it at all. If it grows to adulthood, it should have no problem holding such a small weevil-trunked pig, but it is still very small, and it really doesn't have that much strength.
Liu Qing looked at the broken rope in his hand, smiled at Xiao Wu who was trying to pick up the wild boar, turned around and cut off a large leaf from the large plant on the side, wrapped the trunk of the weevil-nosed pig with this leaf, and simply tied it with the broken straw rope outside, and then hugged it with both hands, and struggled to lift it up, just like that, and carried it to his shoulder.
He also had no choice, if he dragged it, he was too tired, so he had to carry it. But he tried it before, but he couldn't carry it at all, and that bristle was no different from a hedgehog's thorns, not to mention carrying it, even if he touched it with his hands, he felt panicked. Therefore, in order to hurry back to the cave, Liu Qing had to think of this way, using a straw rope to stick the hard hair to its body, and wrapping it with two layers of leaves, so that it would not feel so prickly.
After all, carrying nearly a hundred catties of things, or going up the mountain, Liu Qing's speed was already very slow, and by the time he rushed back to the cave, it was already completely dark. With a flick of his shoulder, he threw the wild weevil-trunked pig to the ground, regardless of the blood stained on his body, and squatted directly on the grass bed, supporting his body backwards, panting heavily.
After a while, he remembered that the gate had not yet been closed, and got up again to close it, and drank some cold boiled water by the fire. These cold boiled water is fresh water, drinking boiled water is his habit, but the conditions here are limited, there is no way to keep warm, so he has to use a water storage pipe as a container, every day will boil some boiling water poured in and cover the lid, let it go for a while It will naturally be cold, if he is thirsty, he basically only drinks this cold boiled water, instead of directly drinking the raw water taken back.
I replenished my water and suddenly felt that my whole person was full. The fire was extinguished before and then it was lit again, and a few ginger beans were roasted on the side, which had been roasted for a long time, and it was already ripe, and it was still a little burnt on the side near the fire. How can I care about this much, I broke it and lost half of it to Xiao Wu, and I also held the other half and gnawed comfortably.
When Xiao Wu was eating ginger beans, Liu Qing realized that something was not quite right with this little guy, standing there with his right front paw on tiptoe, and his mouth seemed to be uncomfortable.
This was discovered by the light of the fire, Liu Qing hurriedly turned over the flashlight, turned it on, walked to Xiao Wu's side, and carefully observed what was going on. Xiao Wu was a little reluctant, Liu Qing grabbed its right front paw, and when he touched it, he found that there was a hard thing under the fluffy fur. When I opened the fur, I saw that the bristle of an elephant trunk pig pierced deeply into Xiao Wu's claws.
Liu Qing is distressed!
The little guy was injured and didn't even say a word, and walked back to the cave with him, Liu Qing's heart was touched and warm, and there was worry. Whispered to Xiao Wu: "Bear with the pain, I'll help you pull it out!"
Xiao Wu bit a small half of a cooked ginger bean in his mouth, and looked at Liu Qing with some grievances. Liu Qing gently pinched the exposed end of the bristles, and suddenly pushed it out, and a bristle about five centimeters long was pulled out. Xiao Wu let out a strange cry of "whoa", and at the same time, a thin blood stain flowed down the location of the bristle puncture.
Liu Qing thought about it, took the bandage used to fix his arm last time, and carefully bandaged it for Xiao Wu, and then used the flashlight to check its mouth.
