"Help! Help!" Zhao Dongwei suddenly cried out in a piercing voice. Everyone looked in the direction of his cries and discovered that a group of wild boars had followed him. Fortunately, he was still relatively rational at this moment and did not run towards the crowd. Instead, he led the wild boars in another direction.

"Everyone hurry up and follow him, it'll be troublesome if he gets caught." Si Cheng had already taken the lead and rushed over there.

Human explosive power is limitless. At this moment, Zhao Dongwei ran at the speed of an athlete, and the villagers chasing behind could not catch up with him.

Seeing that the lead wild boar was about to nuzzle Zhao Dongwei's buttocks, Si Cheng quickly took out his usual hammer from his backpack and smashed it at the lead wild boar.

This may have angered it, for the wild boar turned and charged towards Sicheng. The leader was likely a male boar, weighing about three or four hundred pounds. Its canine teeth were protruding and turned upwards, resembling tusks, giving it a ferocious and menacing appearance that startled everyone.

"Everyone, quickly spread out! Don't get gored by its tusks." Si Cheng knew that this wild boar was in a rage and would gore anyone it saw without any purpose. If someone got gored by its tusks at this moment, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Upon hearing Sicheng's call, everyone scattered in all directions with perfect understanding.

As the wild boar charged, Si Cheng dodged to the side and simultaneously struck it hard on the forehead. The boar ran a few steps forward before collapsing to the ground.

After the leader of the wild boars was killed, the other wild boars charged towards Sicheng without any regard for the consequences, as if they wanted to take revenge on him.

Si Cheng could only dodge to the side, searching for a suitable position to attack, and retaliating with his machete. The others weren't idle either; they intercepted some of the smaller wild boars behind them. At this point, everyone shared a common thought: they had to capture these alive and keep them in that moat.

The group of people used ropes to try and lasso the wild boars' necks, but the little boars were no match for them, and in no time they were all lassoed.

With the help of the monkeys, Si Cheng also managed to cut down the several angry wild boars.

"Brother Cheng, you're awesome!!" Seeing the wild boars scattered all over the ground, everyone couldn't help but give him a thumbs up. If it weren't for Brother Cheng being there, it would have been impossible for them to escape unscathed.

"Dongwei, what did you do to offend them? Why are they chasing you all over there?" Only then did everyone remember to ask why. They were all on the same hillside, so why did the wild boars target Zhao Dongwei?

"We just found a few piles of dung after walking all this way, and we were bored, so we were kicking stones there for fun. Maybe we accidentally kicked one of the wild boars, which is why they chased us." Zhao Dongwei was actually quite annoyed. It was just kicking a few stones, why were they making such a fuss? Well, now they've all given the village meat. Let's see how they chase me next time.

"You kicked those stones really well; that's generating income for our village. Why don't you kick some more stones along the way back and see if you can find anything else?" Yun Tao couldn't help but tease his good friend, who looked so dejected.

"Dongwei, come and tell us what it's like to be chased by a wild boar? Isn't it exciting?" Yun Jianying stepped forward, put his arm around Dongwei's shoulder, and nudged him twice with his own shoulder.

"You'll see next time you try it," Zhao Dongwei said, giving him a disgruntled look.

"Were you scared to death? You were moving at a speed that could have been used in a sports meet."

"You're the one who's scared to death. I was perfectly clear-headed at the time. Didn't you see that I was leading them back and forth? If I had led them this way, you would definitely have been scared to death."

"Stop chatting there and hurry up and pack up to go back to the village. There are still a few wild boars to deal with." Yun Xun urged them to get to work as soon as he saw them still talking.

"Good heavens, these are seven big, fat pigs! The village is in for a treat!"

"The most important thing is these little wild boars, okay? These dozen or so little wild boars can keep the wild boars in the trenches company. I just don't know if there will be enough snakes for them to eat?"

"How about we ask Uncle Nanyao when we get back if he has any snake-attracting drugs?"

"Stop chatting! Four people carry each pig, and the rest of you take turns. Let's all hurry down the mountain." At this moment, Si Cheng missed the days when his elders would accompany him up the mountain. Back then, he didn't have to worry about these things.

Wu Yong and the other newly moved-in villagers curiously inquired about communal meals from those around them. These were things they had never encountered before, and they listened attentively.

“Since coming to Pinghe Village, life has been so much better than before, except for working in the fields. There’s no work pressure, no dealing with layers of superiors, good food, good sleep, and I even feel my health has improved a lot recently.” The longer Wu Yong and his friends stayed in the village, the more they liked this kind of life. In the words of that old scholar Huang Suicheng, this kind of life required so little skill; as long as you had physical strength, you could survive. However, Wu Yong didn’t quite agree with Huang Suicheng’s view. In his opinion, Pinghe Village had too many capable people; otherwise, they wouldn’t be living such a comfortable life.

"When those people who came to the countryside with us came here to carry limestone, they were so envious and jealous of us. Many of them even asked how they could move here, but I turned them all away." Liu Xinwei was able to move to Pinghe Village because his younger brother was serving in the army under Gaozhizhong. Many of the people who moved here with him were military dependents, and these were the ones who stayed in the army to continue maintaining order.

It is precisely because of the stability of the rear that they can continue their beloved work without hesitation.

"That's right. The old ladies in my family are getting along very well with the villagers now. They've even become obsessed with weaving bamboo baskets together lately. Our house has been completely taken over by bamboo baskets for a while now."

"This is a good thing. Before, when they were in the city, they were all dejected and felt like a burden to the younger generation. Now that they're here, it feels like they've found a second spring. They're busy every day and look much younger than before." Wu Yong felt this deeply; his parents had been smiling much more lately.

Along the way, Sicheng originally wanted to share the burden of carrying the wild boar with everyone, but everyone refused.

"Brother Cheng, you've taken care of all these wild boars. Leave the rest to us, or we'll feel embarrassed to eat meat later."

"Oh right, and Dongwei, you're also a big contributor. Without your kicks, we probably wouldn't have attracted so many wild boars. Why don't you kick a few more times along the side?" As soon as he finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter.
