The wild boar demon is going crazy!

Everyone present was stunned by the way Peppa was running so frantically.

Jiang Zhi was even more frightened!

Peppa is now two years old, a true adult wild boar.

Xiaoman measured it by hand and estimated its weight to be at least 300 jin (150 kg), which is 100 jin (50 kg) more than its kind in the wild.

Now, a 300-pound whirlwind of flesh is rushing towards him. Even if he were Lu Zhishen, who could uproot a willow tree, he couldn't withstand the impact and would definitely break his bones.

Errui was shocked and dropped the basket he had just unloaded, rushing to block his mother's way: "Get away! Are you crazy, Peppa!"

Qiaoyun also stomped her feet and waved the wooden basin in her hand, shouting "Hey! Hey! Hey!" trying to make the wild boar stop.

Jiang Zhi retreated repeatedly, trying to stand behind a wooden pillar to avoid the agitated wild boar first.

Even the little bear girl noticed something was wrong and turned to run away.

Just as everyone was scrambling to respond to Peppa's enthusiastic welcome, Peppa suddenly stopped less than ten feet away.

Then, tilting its body like a dog, it hopped over on all fours, making a thud on the ground!

Honestly, Peppa Pig was adorable when she was little, but now she's not cute at all.

Image from the internet. Pork belly when it was small!

It has a long snout and erect ears, and its whole body is covered in messy, long hair that is neither black nor brown, a grayish-brown color, just like a gymnast who has just come off the sports field and is covered in sweat.

The pork belly in the picture has grown bigger!

Having just seen the greasy Li Laoshi, Jiang Zhi found Peiqi's rough and tough image pleasing to the eye.

Peppa ran to Jiang Zhi's side, but didn't get close or nudge her. Instead of turning into a whiny monster, she evolved into a loudspeaker monster, and a loudspeaker at that.

The sound was so deafening that Jiang Zhi panicked and tried to pinch the pig's snout!

"Don't shout, don't shout, it doesn't sound good for a grown man like you!" Jiang Zhi pinched the pig's snout, but Peiqi continued to raise his voice.

Seeing that this tactic was ineffective, Jiang Zhi quickly turned over the basket on her back.

Snacks, cookies, and tender corn were stuffed into Peppa's mouth, but it didn't stop her from screaming loudly.

Finally, they were lured out by Grandpa and Grandma Xiaoman, just because the cries were so pitiful...

Grandpa Xiaoman said, "This wild boar is too clingy! Now it won't get close to anyone."

The grown-up wild boars don't get close to people. Even though the family feeds them every day, they just wander around. Only Errui's mother can touch them.

Jiang Zhi patted the pig's head and touched its tusks still hidden inside its lips: "Alright, alright, you've eaten, and it's only been a little over ten days since you came back. Don't be so dramatic."

When the Qingquanwan Pharmacy was being prepared, Jiang Zhi was away for ten days or half a month without returning. Although Peiqi called out, she was only given a candy cake to appease her.

It seems like I can't coax them today.

After eating, the wild boar was slapped a few more times and finally stopped squealing. It just smacked its lips as it ate the expensive tender corn, the juices spilling from the corners of its mouth.

Grandpa Xiaoman said with heartache, "Peppa is in luck! This is a rare find—tender corn that people are reluctant to eat!"

It was already dark, and everyone went inside.

Xiaoman's grandparents asked how Xiaoman's wound was healing.

When they came down the mountain, Xiaoman was injured, but she recovered quickly, which put their minds at ease.

The pharmacy always had a stove, and the few people there cooked for themselves.

Every day, Tian Tao would bring Xiaoman some stewed eggs and chicken from home, so there were no problems with her nutrition.

Knowing that Xiaoman was alright, Xiaoman's grandparents couldn't help but scold Xu Xiaolan a few more times.

Caixia and Nini also came over to get food, making a lot of noise in the room. Peppa Pig's food was also poured into the trough, and the clingy wild boar obediently left.

Both families were also going to have dinner, so Qiaoyun cooked all the tender corn for them to try.

This year's corn was pollinated early, resulting in plump kernels on the cob. It tastes fragrant, chewy, and delicious after being simply boiled in water.

After people finish eating the corn kernels, the corncob is left.

Jiang Zhi sat on the threshold, cutting the tender core into small pieces with a knife and feeding it to Peiqi outside, while talking to Chunfeng and the others, asking if there had been anything unusual on the mountain recently.

Three thugs went missing the night Qingquan Bay was attacked, and although almost half a month has passed, they have not reappeared.

Zhang Juntou and his men searched the roads, and Lao Song also looked around the town. They combed through the area several times, but the three men seemed to have vanished into thin air.

Xu Dazhu said, "After you left, we kept an eye on the mountain. During the day, we stood on the mountaintop and looked around. At night, we locked the door, and those traps remained untouched."

Chunfeng also said, "Yes, Auntie, I'm afraid those people you mentioned didn't go up the mountain."

Now that Paige is at Old Cloud Cliff, all the wild boars here have been driven to other hilltops. Or maybe the three of them encountered a herd of wild boars on their way and were scared back.

Jiang Zhi thought for a moment and realized that wild boars have a sense of territory, so maybe Peppa Pig scared them away.

Peppa has taken over Old Cloud Cliff, and now no other wild boars are coming to ruin the food.

Even Xu Family Village knows there's a wild boar spirit on the mountain, so no one comes to this area. Maybe those few people were really scared away by Peppa Pig.

She smiled and patted Peppa's head: "Peppa, do you know where those people are?"

The wild boar chewed on the corncob without even raising its head, just making "mmm" noises.

Qiaoyun laughed too: "Peppa Pig only knows how to steal food all day long, how would she know anything? Yesterday, she was even chased out of the pigpen by the little sow."

"Is that so?" Jiang Zhi burst into laughter!

Peppa Pig, oblivious to her own shame, continued eating on her own.

The night passed peacefully.

The mountains and forests were never quiet. At night, the mountains were filled with birdsong, crowing of roosters, and the sounds of various wild animals, but Jiang Zhi slept exceptionally soundly.

When I woke up, it was already dawn, and all my fatigue vanished.

Thick clouds hung low, damp mist turned into rain, and dew dripped down, creating a serene and cool atmosphere that seemed to wash away all worldly dust.

Qiaoyun is making breakfast, while the children are still sleeping.

Jiang Zhi carried a basket on her back to cut grass for the old mule, check the traps, and see how her herbs were growing.

As soon as she stepped out, Peppa, who had been quietly lying in the cabin, immediately followed.

Stepping into the fog, all was white and no one else could be seen. Jiang Zhi stopped and called Peiqi to her side: "Peiqi, come here!"

The wild boar blinked as it walked over.

Jiang Zhi parted the bristles on the wild boar's head and searched carefully inside.

Peppa Pig has hair and a resinous mud shell; you can't see her skin unless you part the pig hair and touch her.

Jiang Zhi pulled it open and sure enough, she saw a wound underneath. She quickly looked for other parts of the body and found several more knife wounds.

Half a month has passed, and the wounds have almost healed, but one of them is infected and infested with fly larvae!

"Peppa, you really ran into those people!"

When they returned last night, it got dark quickly and the light was poor. Jiang Zhi casually touched the wild boar a few times, but then felt something was wrong with her hands.

Xiaoman and the others said there was nothing unusual on the mountain, the matter was unclear, and Jiangzhi couldn't easily go and see the wild boars.

It was only when dawn broke that they took a closer look and indeed found knife wounds on the wild boar's body.

No matter how smart Peppa Pig is, she's still a mute who can't speak.

Jiang Zhi tickled it, and the wild boar rolled over on the ground, groaning with pleasure, but couldn't explain how it got its wounds.

Jiang Zhi counted and found that Peiqi had seven or eight knife wounds of varying sizes.

Fortunately, wild boar hide has two layers, providing built-in protection. The knife wounds were numerous but not deep, and they have mostly scabbed over now.

The deepest spot is under the front armpit; you have to make the wild boar lie down and lift its legs to see it—that's where the maggots grow.
