Back to 1984: Hunting in the Mountains

Chapter 68 The wild boar is going crazy with pain!!
The whole process took only two or three minutes. Apart from the two jackal carcasses left at the scene, the only thing left was the smell of blood in the air.

"Why are you running? Keep going!" Wang Haofeng saw the jackals running away, and waved his axe, looking unsatisfied, "I'll chop you to death."

Yu Qiujiang looked disgusted.

Yu Qiutang, however, looked at the gun in his hand, and for a moment he was confused as to why these jackals had lost their minds and actually wanted to attack humans.

In a hurry, Yu Qiutang had no time to explain why he was so fierce. He was able to kill the jackal thanks to his reaction speed and strength.

These are all the cheats brought about by rebirth, and cannot be told to outsiders.

Afterwards, looking at the two dead jackals, the two companions were scared at first. If they only paid attention to the front and were attacked by the jackals from behind, the consequences would be disastrous.

Thanks to Yu Qiutang's cleverness.

Yu Qiujiang was fine. He just looked at Yu Qiutang meaningfully and remained silent in the end.

Wang Haofeng kept sighing that Yu Qiutang had such ability, and he only sighed that he had not seen it before, because he was very proud to have such a childhood friend. He kept saying that with such an achievement, he would brag about it when he returned to the village.

Seeing that his focus was not on how awesome he was, but on the fact that he now had an awesome friend, Yu Qiutang let him go, just to avoid having to explain.

"Let's go and get rid of the wild boar. This is a pie in the sky, and we just happened to catch it."

Yu Qiutang wiped the blood off the gun with hay, then lifted up the two jackals to test their weight. They were probably more than 40 kilograms each, in their prime, and both were male jackals.

Looking at their bright red fur, which looks a bit like red foxes, this also confirms this point.

When the hair on its belly begins to fade and eventually even turns white, while the color of its tail becomes darker and darker, approaching black, that is when it reaches its prime.

"Here, Fengzi, carry it for us. Didn't you say you are very strong?"

"Okay, I'll carry it!"

Wang Haofeng asked Yu Qiujiang to help him hold the axe, and held a jackal in one hand. He said happily: "These two jackals can have a good meal, and their skins can be sold for money. It's rich."

Yu Qiutang was walking in front, and upon hearing this he said with a smile: "You better be careful, you can't eat jackal meat casually."

"Ah? Why? Is it poisonous?"

"That's not the case, but the meat of this guy is similar to wild rabbit meat. If you eat it, not only will you not gain weight, but you may even become thinner the more you eat."

Wang Haofeng opened his eyes wide, caught up with Yu Qiutang and walked side by side, "Why? They are all meat, are there any differences?"

"Of course there is a difference. Both jackal and rabbit meat are difficult to digest. If you eat them, the amount you consume digesting them will be more than what you gain from eating them."

"Is that so?" Wang Haofeng showed regret on his face. When he looked at the two jackals again, he didn't like them so much anymore and even felt a little resentful.

"If that's the case, then why do we need this jackal?"

"That's not a big deal..."

Yu Qiutang and the other two had arrived at the edge of the stream closest to the wild boar. By this time, the wild boar had lost its strength to struggle, and half of its body was submerged in the stream, standing there with lifeless eyes.

Seeing Yu Qiutang and the other two coming over, he didn't even make any move.

Tired.

"It's not that it's completely inedible. You have to fry the meat with oil first... preferably lard, and then steam it, and then you can eat it."

"Really? If you hadn't told me quickly, I would have thought this thing was really useless." Wang Haofeng's energy came back.

"You are impatient. I have to explain this slowly. Okay, I will call you to eat it when we get back. Now let's find a way to get this pig out."

"Row."

Wang Haofeng responded, looked at the wild boar, and exclaimed exaggeratedly: "I didn't notice it when I was up there, but when I got closer, I realized that this thing is really big."

"Well, this is an adult wild boar. This is not the largest one. If it continues to grow, it will weigh more than 400 kilograms in winter. At present, this one looks like it weighs more than 300 kilograms."

"It's made, it's made!" Wang Haofeng laughed excitedly.

"We'd better drag them out quickly. We just killed two jackals. I don't know if there will be more jackals coming to take revenge." said Yu Qiujiang, who had been silent all the time.

Yu Qiutang nodded, "Yes, what Brother Jiang said makes sense. Jackals are particularly vindictive. If they come in a group, they will wear us out to death."

As he spoke, he took out the rope that he had originally prepared for carrying wood, made a noose, aimed at the wild boar's head and threw it. The noose fell exactly on the wild boar's neck.

With a gentle pull, the wild boar was tied up with the rope.

The wild boar seemed to have completely given up struggling. After being tied up with a rope, it was too lazy to struggle and still maintained its posture, just like a fake pig.

"Do you want to pull it?" Wang Haofeng rubbed his hands, eager to try.

Yu Qiutang said there was no hurry. He first tied the rope to a nearby oak tree that was as thick as a person, and then tied a rope around his waist and tied it to the tree. He took Wang Haofeng's axe, picked up the steel fork, slowly walked into the stream, came to the wild boar, and slowly cut the water grass that was wrapped around the wild boar's legs.

The waters in the mountains are complex.

Sometimes a river looks wide, but in fact it is very shallow and does not have much water. But sometimes a stream looks narrow, but it may have once been a big river, and it is full of silt underneath.

It's better to be careful.

In fact, the water grass that tripped the wild boar was not very large. If it were a human, it could easily untie it. However, the wild boar obviously could not use its forelimbs like humans, and could only struggle blindly, and the more it struggled, the tighter it became.

Yu Qiutang's steel fork was originally used to pierce prey, so it had blades on both sides. He used it as a knife and had no problem cutting aquatic plants.

Soon, all the water plants close to them were cleared away.

He turned around and prepared to retreat to the shore, asking Yu Qiujiang and Wang Haofeng to pull together. If the wild boar was well behaved, that would be fine. If it went crazy, he would be responsible for catching and killing it.

however.

He had just turned around and taken a few steps when he saw Wang Haofeng's face suddenly change and he shouted, "Run!"

When Yu Qiutang saw Wang Haofeng's expression, he knew the situation had changed. He did not run forward directly, but instead moved to the right as far as his body could, while quickly holding the gun in front of him.

Just as he was getting into position, he saw the wild boar suddenly rushing past his previous position, its hair almost brushing against his clothes.

This damn wild boar not only didn't thank me for rescuing it from the water and grass, but also started attacking me before I even walked far away.

Only when there is danger within danger can one avoid it.

This is the reaction he developed from long-term training in the mountains.

Cooperate with the corrections in this life.

If it were an ordinary person, his spine would definitely be pierced on the spot, and his internal organs might even be pushed out.

A wild boar weighing more than 300 kilograms has a tremendous impact force, not to mention its tusks. The human body is so fragile in nature that it is not worth mentioning. It is easy for a wild boar's tusks to pierce a human body.

"Fu~Fu!"

The wild boar failed in its sneak attack from behind, but it was not discouraged. It quickly turned around and charged towards Yu Qiutang again.

That's how tough a mad boar is.

Not to mention that Yu Qiutang is a human being, even a tiger in the mountains would be chased if it angered the wild boar king.

If you are not an adult male tiger, you can only run away if you meet a wild boar king. For animals, any fight has no practical meaning unless it is to fill your stomach.

Wild boars are omnivores and can survive by eating some vegetables and fruits when they are tired. However, if a tiger is injured, it will inevitably affect its hunting efficiency, which makes it more difficult for the big cats to survive as they already have difficulty obtaining food.

Without the assurance of victory, they were unwilling to confront the wild boars head-on.

"Damn it, come again!"

Wang Haofeng on the shore roared, and he and Yu Qiujiang pulled the rope at the same time, trying to pull the wild boar away.

Yu Qiutang was ready to fight.

This wild boar had been bullied by jackals before and was no longer at full health. Its patience had also been worn out in the stream, so its speed and strength of charge had decreased, and its mind was even less clear.

He could try to cope with it.

But the wild boar was held by its two companions. It struggled twice towards this side but failed to break free. It soon found two people on the shore, turned its body, and ran towards the shore again.

"Be careful!" Yu Qiutang followed closely behind and hurriedly called out to the shore.

Seeing Yu Qiujiang pushing Wang Haofeng behind him, he was actually preparing to use his body to fight the wild boar, and hurriedly shouted: "Get out of the way, get out of the way, you can't stop it!"

At the same time, he sped up and chased the wild boar desperately.

Yu Qiujiang on the shore may have heard Yu Qiutang's call, or may have been frightened by the sight of such a huge wild boar. The moment the wild boar rushed into the stream, he grabbed Wang Haofeng and moved to the side.

When the wild boar reached the shore, he failed to brake and crashed directly into the oak tree where he was tied.

"Oh!"

The wild boar was knocked dizzy and fell to the ground, struggling several times before finally getting up.

At this time, Yu Qiutang also returned to the shore with a steel fork.

While the wild boar was still panting and looking at him blankly with its cloudy eyes, without any anger for the time being, he gripped the gun handle tightly with both hands and stabbed the wild boar's neck with lightning speed.

“Howl~~!”

The wild boar was in pain and jumped more than one meter high on the spot, then began to swing left and right desperately, jumping and swaying wildly. Yu Qiutang was able to hold the gun handle at first, but soon his palms were cracked by the wild boar and the gun handle slipped out of his hand.

The wild boar was completely going crazy from the pain.

But his vitality is very strong, and the blood flowing from his neck cannot stop his devilish steps.

No one can get close within ten meters around the body.

Yu Qiutang's steel gun weighing several dozen kilograms was also carried around by it, turning it into a dangerous weapon.

He looked around and shouted, "Fengzi, throw your axe over here."

"Oh, wait a minute." Wang Haofeng and Yu Qiujiang retreated more than 20 meters away. Upon hearing this, they hurried over with axes.

Yu Qiutang stepped forward to take the axe, and tried the weight in his hand. It was okay. The axe handle was made of yellow pear wood. Although not as strong and durable as steel, it was also the most durable among wooden handles.

"Stand far away, be careful not to get hurt by mistake."

"Don't worry, you can't hurt us."

“Hurry up,” Yu Qiutang pushed him, “When this dog gets mad, it’s faster than a motorcycle. You won’t be able to run away even if you want to.”

Wang Haofeng then reluctantly returned to his original position.

"Just stay here and watch. Why are you trying to show off now? You have no experience. If you get hit by a wild boar, your life will be over." Yu Qiujiang pulled him.

"Oh, I'll stay."

Seeing that he was still a little unconvinced, Yu Qiujiang didn't want to say anything, but he couldn't help but said, "If you want to be active in the mountains in the future, you have to change your temper. If you keep doing this, something bad will happen sooner or later.

You need to use your brain in everything, and it's not enough to be brave. Look at those experienced hunters in the village, none of them is known for their bravery? Most of them are cautious, even a little timid.

Otherwise, if you act so recklessly, you will lose more lives than you can afford."

Wang Haofeng heard Yu Qiujiang's tone, although serious, but sincere. He knew that it was for his own good, so he nodded quickly and said, "I know, Brother Jiang, I must be careful next time."

Yu Qiujiang's expression eased when he saw that he had a serious attitude.

there.

Yu Qiutang took the axe and felt more confident.

When the wild boar was not paying attention and was crawling behind a tree, he found the right time to rush out and chopped off the wild boar's left leg with an axe. The wild boar was still "jumping", but suddenly it could not use its legs to gain leverage, and its huge body lost balance and fell directly to the ground.

It just happened to turn Yu Qiutang's spear completely around.

It howled shrilly again and tried to stand up several times, but failed every time.

In order to avoid any further complications, Yu Qiutang stepped forward, grabbed the gun and pulled it out from the wild boar's neck. As soon as the gun tip came out, a stream of blood spurted out.

The splashes were all over Yu Qiutang.

As the gun tip moved away, the wild boar's energy was gradually exhausted. It lay on its side on the ground, with only its legs twitching slowly and intermittently. It was basically breathing in less than it was breathing out.

Yu Qiutang finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling extremely tired. He sat down against the oak tree that had been hit by the wild boar and waved to the distance, "Here I come."

Wang Haofeng trotted over carrying the jackal.

Yu Qiujiang followed closely behind, his steps much more brisk than usual.

After the two came over, they circled the wild boar twice. Wang Haofeng laughed excitedly, and Yu Qiujiang also smiled, which was rare for him.

"This pig is really fat." Wang Haofeng sighed, "I thought the pigs in the village were fat enough in those years, but when I see this one, it's not even fat enough."

Yu Qiujiang was concerned about another issue: what to do now?

The wild boar had been killed and was lying on the ground. The only thing left was to transport it back.

"When encountering such a thing, there is no need to go to the oak forest for the time being," Yu Qiutang stood up. He probably released too much just now and temporarily returned to the sage moment. He felt exhausted all over, but after a short rest, he became full of energy again.

"We need to kill this guy and bleed him quickly. The blood will stop flowing soon and dissolve into the meat, which will be very troublesome to deal with when we get back. Meat with blood on it will also not last long and will spoil easily. It also won't taste good."

When hunting animals in the wild, unless they are relatively small, they are basically killed on the spot. If there are many people hunting together, you can wait until the kill is finished and take all the meat back.

But if there are fewer people, you have to make some trade-offs.

When solving problems in the mountains, speed is the key. Once the prey is dealt with, the smell of blood will quickly spread through the forest, and some bloodthirsty and hungry beasts will come to join in the fun.

Wild animals have very good noses, much better than humans. With the help of wind direction, many can smell blood from several kilometers away.

"Brother Jiang, let me use your dagger."

Yu Qiujiang was stunned. "What short knife?"
