Chapter 14 Wild Boar

Feeling their youth that can be squandered wantonly, they find that their mentality exceeds their body too much.Now they are only three or four years older than them, and their attitude towards and handling things is like that of a 40-year-old middle-aged man.I also had that era, but what God bestowed was not the passionate youth that can be squandered and experienced anywhere, but the torment of illness.

I habitually took out a cigarette and put it in my mouth, and then realized that I would have to ride a bicycle later. Smoking is not suitable for riding a bicycle, so I took the cigarette out of my mouth and stuffed it into the cigarette case.Zhang Taiping used to have no cigarettes in his waist. During the dozens of days he came back, he found that the demand for cigarettes has not reached the point where there is no smoke and joy, and he can properly adjust and control it.And because he had no money, he never bought cigarettes.This box of Soft China was stuffed in Yang Wanli's hand when he was leaving. A box of cigarettes cost more than 60 yuan, and the average cost was more than three yuan, which was more than six or seven times the usual price. I really couldn't bear to waste it.

After a short time, they discussed the results.This time the freckled girl came forward with the two boys.

A slightly burly boy said in a pure Guanzhong dialect: "Brother, that really bothers you, come and smoke a cigarette."

Zhang Taiping waved his hands and said, "No, let's go quickly, there is still a long way to go."

After hearing this, the freckle girl turned around and yelled loudly: "Girls, let's go quickly." Then a group of people laughed and got into the car and followed behind Zhang Taiping.

Even though Zhang Taiping's bike was 20 years earlier than theirs, and it was not as labor-saving as a variable-speed mountain bike or a road bike, it still took Zhang Taiping to deliberately slow down in order for them to keep up.

During this period, several girls gathered around Zhang Taiping and chattered about this and that. They were nothing more than what they had seen and heard in the mountains and the scenery of various animals.Zhang Taiping either nodded, or explained in a few words.I also learned from their introductions that they are sophomores at Xi'an University of Technology, and they heard the amazing scenery of Fengyukou from their classmates, so they came to see and relax during the National Day.

Being with them can feel the breath of youth and fill the old heart with some vitality.But the generation gap in experience and mentality made him reluctant to say more.

Although they can't understand their way of casually confessing to strangers, they don't have too much evaluation.

A person will meet all kinds of people in his life, but not many can occupy a place in his heart.The vast majority of people are just passers-by in their lives, coming and going in a hurry, and in the eyes of tomorrow, they are just the projection of time in the long drama of life, leaving no waves or traces in the long river of life.

Listening to the laughter like copper bells in the wind whistling around me, the longing for his wife and daughter suddenly hit like a tide, surging in my heart.Unknowingly, he stepped on the pedal fiercely, and the car shot out like an arrow.

After getting off the Huanshan Road and turning around a hill, the sky suddenly darkened.The afterglow of the setting sun cannot reach the top of the mountain, and the sky inside the mountain is always darker than the sky outside.

The road along the river to Fengyukou Village is bustling.The river is gurgling, and tourists are walking by the river or sitting on the big rocks to enjoy the bright shadow of the lightsaber cast on the top of the mountain. Some young people simply take off their shoes and socks, and step barefoot in the clear and translucent river.Occasionally, someone would throw a pebble or two down, and the water would splash in all directions, causing screams and laughter.It's as if everyone is a friend here, and no one hates these innocuous jokes.

Arriving here, the group of students were immediately overwhelmed by the scenery in front of them.Zhang Taiping bid farewell to them, stepped on his bicycle and pedaled hard, passed through Fengyukou Village, where there are many farmhouses, and headed towards the village.

After leaving Fengyukou Village, the sky became even darker.

October is the season when corn is ripe.The two-meter-high corn stalks are like rows of silent and fearful soldiers, lined up neatly on both sides, as if waiting for the order to attack at any time, matching the sky that suppresses the darkness, as if time and air have condensed, courage Smaller people would definitely not dare to pass through it, the suffocating atmosphere would make people breathless.

Zhang Taiping rode his bicycle in a contented manner, this kind of scenery is rare in the city.The heat of the day fades away, and the cool wind in the early autumn evening, like a lover's touch, gradually relaxes the nervous and eager mood.The darkness can soothe the restlessness in the heart, and the non-stop neighing of crickets on the side of the road is better than the pop music that fills the city.

Occasionally, the light beam of the flashlight can be seen piercing the sky like a sharp sword, which means that someone is guarding the corn in the field at night.Guarding the cornfields is not about people, but wild boars descending from the mountain.

At this time of day, the corn kernels are full, crystal clear like pearls, high in sugar content, and taste sweet and glutinous after cooking.It can also be stuffed together with the corn husk under the stove and grilled. After the husk is dried, the ashes are blown off, revealing the loose yellow corn kernels inside, which is delicious and pleasant.This is just a simple way to make it in the countryside. In the night market in the city, there are corns in every barbecue place in this season. The corn sold here will be brushed with oil sauce and seasoned, and placed on the iron grill of the barbecue. After roasting, it will be golden and shiny. , the unique fragrance of corn can diffuse the whole street.

People know how to enjoy, and animals are not bad either. The tender corn with high sugar content is the favorite of monkeys and wild boars.Not to mention the cleverness of monkeys, the nose of wild boars is better than the eyes of humans.They can smell the sugary corn from miles away, and they will come down the mountain in the evening to do harm.

Wild boars live in groups, and polygamy is practiced. Often there are more than a dozen members of a family.In addition, they often don't steal one or two like monkeys and leave quickly. Instead, they will dig in the field like a plow, and their long mouths are like sickles. They can eat and destroy an acre of land in one night. clean.

So the villagers had no choice but to guard the field for a period of time at night, bringing charging lamps or flashlights and steel forks.The main thing is to disturb. Wild boars are not very courageous and aggressive. Generally, they will leave quickly as soon as they are disturbed. This way, the guards can relax and don't have to stay overnight.

Of course, there are exceptions when wild boars go berserk when they are hurt.At this time, the wild boar was in a state of madness, just like the death squad, and would attack whatever it saw.It is said that the crazy wild boar has a glorious record of killing tigers.

Zhang Taiping was thinking about breaking some fresh and tender corn, cooking or grilling it when he went back.

"what"

Suddenly there was a piercing roar, which broke the quiet and natural night. Even the chirping of insects on the roadside was a must, and everything was quiet for a moment, adding a lot of miserable and terrifying atmosphere.

There was a grunting and intermittent moaning of pain.

When the sound of worms sounded again, Zhang Taiping jumped out of the car, discerned the direction with his ears, and ran quickly towards the direction of the sound.Although his body was tall and burly, he walked through the field with the dexterity of an ape. When he got close to the source of the sound, Zhang Taiping slowed down his pace, and tiptoely pushed aside the corn stalks in front of him.There is a small open space in front, and a thick persimmon tree stands upright.There was a person lying on the tree, and the intermittent sound came from here.Under the tree, a wild boar pawed the ground, circled the persimmon tree, sprinted at high speed from time to time, and slammed its head into the tree. down.The people on the tree hugged the trunk tightly, and one of them fell down. If they fell down now, they would really die.

The wild boar has been running in the forest since childhood, and has developed good physical strength. It can run 1520 kilometers without stopping. This kind of extraordinary physical strength is even inferior to marathon runners.The most important thing is that the short-distance sprint speed of the wild boar is also very sharp. Coupled with brute force, the combination of speed and strength, most people really dare not let it touch it a little.

Taking advantage of the wild boar turning behind the tree, Zhang Taiping quickly rushed out of the corn field, climbing up the tree like a dexterous monkey.The people on the tree were suddenly startled and almost fell from the tree, but fortunately Zhang Taiping pulled him quickly with his quick eyes.It was only when he raised his head that he could see clearly that it was Wang Bajin from the north of Li Village.

His surname is Wang and his first name is Bajin.In rural areas, especially in remote mountain villages, naming is very casual, and children are often named after something or something.Wang Bajin weighed eight catties when he was just born, so he was named Bajin. Because of the surname Wang, people often omit the last word for catty when calling them, and directly call them "Wang Ba".

Wang Bajin is less than 30 years old and has a good-natured face, but now his face has been deformed due to pain, and it is covered with dense beads of sweat.Seeing that it was Zhang Taiping, he didn't speak, and even suppressed the pained groans.

In fact, the people in the village are a little afraid of Zhang Taiping. To be honest, Zhang Taiping was a bit chivalrous before, but with a lot of ruthlessness, he became gangster-like. Kung fu exerts a lot of pressure on ordinary people.

Looking at his distorted face, Zhang Taiping asked, "What's wrong? Did the wild boar get kicked?"

Wang Bajin gritted his teeth and stared at the wild boar that was still wandering under the tree and said, "Oh, I got home today, and I don't know why that bastard went crazy, so let him arch his legs."

"Why would it attack you on its own initiative?" Zhang Taiping asked puzzled.

"Ghost knows why this beast is crazy." Wang Bajin replied with a mournful face, "I was sitting under a tree smoking a cigarette, and a group of dogs, big and small, came here. If these guys were allowed to enter the field, this piece of corn would definitely be useless. At that time In a hurry, I threw the iron fork leaning on the tree, and the others scared away. Only this thing turned around and gave me a kick. If I hadn’t reacted quickly and climbed up the tree, I guess I would have to give up my life today In the hands of this beast."

Zhang Taiping finally understood, the fork must have pierced the boar's body.Wild boars are very timid if they are not attacked, and they will run away when they are startled.But once it is hurt, it will go crazy, and immediately turn from a coward to a big fool, attacking anyone it sees, and it will hold grudges very much, often in a situation of endless death.

Take a closer look at the guy below.The canines on the long mouth are exposed and turned upside down in the shape of tusks.This is a male pig, female pigs have no tusks.The boar's tusks symbolize its status in a family group.

He has a strong body, [-] to [-] centimeters tall, with stubby limbs, and his muscles and strength are mainly concentrated in his upper body.Behind a short thin tail.The mane on the back is long and hard. Now because of the excitement and anger, the mane stands on end, and the branches are like needles. It can reach [-] to [-] centimeters long.These manes have the function of heat preservation. In hot summer, part of them will fall off automatically, leaving only a small part of the back and head.
