Chapter 8: Killing the Boar
"It's really dangerous on the mountain, you just wait for me at the foot of the mountain, I'll come when I go."
Ye Qianlan touched her hungry belly, no matter what, she had to get some game to cushion it, otherwise how could she survive the long night with a hungry stomach?
Ye Qianlan carried the sickle head and plunged into the dark back mountain without looking back, the husband and wife glanced at each other, although Zhang Hongxia was a little scared, but she still took the initiative to follow.
"If you go, I'll go, my daughter is not afraid, what do I have to be afraid of!"
Zhang Hongxia stubbornly followed, the cold wind in the mountains was cold, the leaves were blown rustling from time to time, and the moon was hidden in the clouds, revealing a glimmer of light from time to time.
Zhang Hongxia is used to living a privileged life, even when she was a child, she grew up in the mountains, but the horror stories about the back mountains circulating in the village hovered in her mind from time to time.
When she was young, she never dared to go out when it was dark in the village, and she said that she was just a mother, and now she is fighting hard for her daughter.
Zhang Hongxia suddenly felt a weight on her shoulder, and a warm feeling passed from her shoulder, and she saw Ye Zhihua reaching out and hugging her shoulder.
This taciturn man never speaks sweet words, but he always expresses his love for their mother and daughter with his actions.
"I'm afraid I'm going to go up the mountain like this, I don't know what you're drawing."
"I can't put my daughter's body in danger, in a strange environment, I want her to stay under my nose."
Ye Qianlan walked all the way ahead, she has practiced martial arts since she was a child, and her five senses are more acute than ordinary people.
All the wind and grass on the mountain can't escape her eyes and ears.
The wind blew away the dark clouds, the moon showed its head, and Ye Qianlan saw at a glance that there were shallow hoof prints on the ground.
This seal is very peculiar, a bit like a plum blossom print and a bit like a maple leaf print, and most importantly, only the front hoof print.
"There are wild boars nearby, and there is a blessing tonight!"
Ye Qianlan turned her head with a happy face, Ye Zhihua squatted down following her daughter's gaze, and sure enough, she saw a row of shallow footprints.
"It's a wild boar, and the boar has four hooves of toes, and its forelimbs bear most of the weight of its body, so the shape of the footprints on the ground is only the shape of the front hooves."
"There it is!"
The father and daughter looked at the south with surprised eyes.
There is an oak forest over there, and wild boars do not hibernate, but they are also afraid of the cold, so they like to hide on sunny slopes in winter.
The temperature in the south is relatively high, and the slopes are sheltered from the wind and rain, and there are plenty of acorns under the dead leaves of the oak forest, so the wild boar can rest easy in winter.
The group hurried south, and sure enough, they saw a wild boar hiding in a cave covered with dead leaves, snoring and sleeping.
"That's it!"
Ye Qianlan was pleasantly surprised, this place is very hidden, if it weren't for the fact that they were familiar with the habits of wild boars, they looked for them very purposefully, in this big mountain, trying to find wild boars is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.
"Don't be impulsive, let's add it up!"
Ye Qianlan took a step forward and prepared to dry with her bare hands, Ye Zhihua was startled and hurriedly grabbed her daughter's arm.
"What is there to sum up? Anyway, we don't have anything. There are no shotguns and hounds, and I don't have the time and energy to dig traps, and there are no traps, so I can't think of any other way than to rush over and meet them head-on. ”
The method that Ye Qianlan wants to use is the most direct and stupid, but at the same time the most effective.
People who go up to the mountain to hunt wild boars are generally fully prepared, and only when several people work together do they dare to attack wild boars.
A person like Ye Qianlan, who has nothing but a sickle, dares to rush forward directly, either with excellent strength or without knowing whether he is alive or dead.
After her daughter grabbed the white, Ye Zhihua was speechless in an instant.
This time, he went up the mountain with him and brought with him a knife that he usually used to chop wood, but he really didn't have anything to use.
Ye Qianlan didn't wait for them to answer, quickly exchanged a knife with her father, and rushed forward with an unexpected stride.
The wild boar was very alert, and suddenly opened its eyes when Ye Qianlan was still ten meters away from it.
A swarthy wild boar jumped out of the cave at once, and its sharp eyes stared at Ye Qianlan not far away.
Wild boars are omnivores, and although they are usually vegetarians, they will chase and bite people when they are forced to do so.
It usually goes down the mountain to steal its crops, but few people dare to trespass on its territory.
Now in the middle of the night, Ye Qianlan broke in without knowing whether she was alive or dead, and it happened to be her meal.
The boar has a fat body, short limbs, a long snout and muzzle, and its fat limbs are short, and its hair will stand upside down when it feels threatened.
Under the gaze of the wild boar, Ye Qianlan not only did not slow down, but sped up and ran.
At a distance of ten meters, under her high-speed running, she rushed to the front of the wild boar in less than two seconds.
The boar lowered its head, its hard mane stood on end, and it was completely on the offensive.
"Oops, this girl is too reckless, she directly carries the wild boar head-on, if something happens, I don't have the face to live in this world."
Ye Zhihua stomped his feet and rushed forward, his hand clutching the sickle that his daughter had forced into him, which was the only weapon he was sure to defeat the wild boar.
Zhang Hongxia was completely stunned when she saw such a scene, but she didn't dodge, she was only stunned for a few tenths of a second, and immediately ran behind her husband.
She had no weapon in her hand, she could only clench her fists. Isn't it just fighting? If anyone dares to bully her daughter, she will be rude to anyone, and wild boars are no exception!
"Just in time!"
Ye Qianlan saw the red-eyed wild boar rushing towards her like crazy, and she smiled at the corner of her mouth.
When the boar was about to hit her abdomen, she quickly turned to the right side slightly, and at the same time raised the knife in her hand, slashing at the back of the boar's most fragile neck, and with a splash of blood, the huge boar's head rolled to the ground like a leather ball.
"This ......"
Ye Zhihua just rushed forward, and before he could react, he was splashed with blood.
Although the boar's head has been cut off, its body is still rushing forward due to inertia.
Zhang Hongxia ran slowly, and her position was exactly in the direction where the wild boar was rushing over.
She watched a bloodied and headless boar pounce on her, her eyes widened and she screamed, and she was completely stupid.
"Be careful!"
Ye Zhihua pounced forward, wanting to knock Zhang Hongxia down, but he didn't expect to pounce in a hurry.
However, Ye Qianlan reacted very quickly, she jumped suddenly, but instead of moving forward, she took a step back, and at the same time kicked her right foot the mountain wall, leaving an extremely deep footprint because of the excessive force.
With the help of this rebound, her body rushed forward like an arrow off the string, and she stretched out her hands forward.
