Chapter 119 Liu Huo escaped and didn't save Wang Shuo.

About half an hour later.

Wang Shuo spotted a small wild boar darting past him and disappearing in a flash, its movements nimble and agile.

He made a gurgling sound to lure the wild boar into his firing range, then picked up his rifle, aimed, and hit the boar's hind leg with a single shot.

The injured wild boar ran a short distance before slowing down.

He tore off two kudzu vines and tied them to the little wild boar's front and hind legs respectively. Then, he used a piece of wood to carry it and said gleefully, "I'm really lucky today. I caught a little wild boar right away!"

After walking for about ten minutes, he heard Liu Huo shouting. He followed the sound and found traces of wild boars knocking down tree branches all along the way.

Finally, he saw a large, dark wild boar, staring menacingly at Liu Huo in the tree, its two white-tinged-blue tusks protruding.

A rifle lay on the ground.

Liu Huo was clinging to a not-so-thick tree, trembling uncontrollably. His right shoe had fallen off, and he was wailing loudly, showing absolutely no signs of being a soldier.

Wang Shuo stood on high ground, watching, not daring to make any rash moves. He estimated that the wild boar in front of him was a ferocious male wild boar, huge in size, weighing about two hundred pounds.

He examined it carefully and found that the wild boar had no wounds on its body, at most a little bit of fur that it had rubbed off while moving through the forest.

In other words, Liu's two shots missed, and he even angered the wild boar.

The wild boar was still frantically tearing at the tree Liu Huo was clinging to. Not only could the tree not withstand the boar's tusks, but Liu Huo was also clearly exhausted. If he fell, he would probably be killed on the spot.

Wang Shuo looked around but didn't find Zhou Shan and Niu Er, who were on his team. Although he looked down on Liu Huo, thinking he was neither a man nor a decent person.

But it's still a life, we can't just stand by and watch someone die.

So he first put the baby wild boar on the ground, trying not to make any noise.

His gaze swept around again, finally settling on the thickest and tallest tree within range and near the edge of the area.

To avoid startling the wild boar, he carefully moved his body over and then climbed up little by little.

He had to ensure his own safety first before he could find the right opportunity, aim carefully, and try to hit the wild boar with his last bullet.

Even if you don't hit any vital parts, you are currently safe. You can wait for the wild boar to run out of energy and give up the attack, or die from excessive blood loss.

If you don't climb to a safe tree beforehand, and you miss a vital spot, the wild boar will go berserk and chase you relentlessly. Even a jeep can't outrun a male wild boar.

Just as he climbed the tree and hadn't even properly positioned the wild boar, Liu Huo turned around and spotted him, shouting without regard for anything else: "Instructor, Comrade Wang Shuo... Ahh... Help me... Save me, I don't want to die... Ahhhhh..."

The wild boar spotted Wang Shuo, turned its head and bared its fangs at him. It also caught a whiff of its own kind's blood, which made it even more agitated.

However, the wild boar had no intention of giving up on Liu Huo in the tree.

Wang Shuo angrily cursed, "You coward, do you even have a human being? What are you yelling at me for? You dog, you have no brains at all!"

Liu Huo didn't care about anything else; he was so scared he almost peed his pants. He cried and sobbed, "Comrade Wang Shuo, please think of something quickly! I can't hold on any longer, I'm going to fall! I don't want to be bitten to death! I have my parents at home, and I still have to take care of them. I haven't even gotten married yet! Waaah, please save me!"

Wang Shuo roared in frustration, "Shut your dog mouth!"

He asked, "Do you have bullets in your gun?"

Liu was so frightened that tears streamed down her face, and she replied in a trembling voice, "No...no..."

Wang Shuo couldn't help but curse again: "You're such a fucking piece of trash!"

After cursing, he said, "I only have one bullet left. I'll lure him over here. You hurry up and climb down from the tree, slip away and get me reinforcements, understand? Gather everyone here!"

Because the wild boar became wary and alert, he couldn't hit it with a single shot.

Upon hearing that he could be saved, Liu Huo quickly agreed: "Okay, okay."

Wild boars are clever; they keep an eye on both sides, as if they don't intend to let either go.

Because Liu Huo alerted the wild boar, it became wary of Wang Shuo, which resulted in Wang Shuo only hitting the boar in the back with his shot.

The wild boar howled angrily, its ferocious form charging towards Wang Shuo like a hurricane, making the entire tree shake violently.

It rammed its massive body into the tree seven or eight times in a row, and when that was no use, it began to gnaw at it with its mouth.

Wang Shuo was very brave, but he was still a little startled and couldn't help but exclaim, "Damn, that's really fierce!"

Liu Huo slowly slid down from the tree opposite him, his legs gave way and he collapsed to the ground. However, he knew that escaping was the priority, so he gritted his teeth, got up, picked up his gun, and carried the little wild boar away.

Wang Shuo yelled at him, "I can only hold out for half an hour at most, hurry up and call for backup!"

Liu Huo grinned and left without looking back, not caring about the many people behind him.

After walking for a while, he stopped and gasped for breath, muttering to himself, "That scared me to death! My God, I almost lost my life!"

He glanced back, a sinister look flashing across his face, thinking, "What if I don't call for help? I can only hold out for half an hour at most? What will happen after half an hour?"

He recalled how Wang Shuo had helped Wang Yuqing when he first arrived, which not only made him lose face but also reported the letter to the commune. Wang Shuo always yelled at him and cursed him all the time, never giving him any face. He was arrogant because he came from the commune, and the militiamen all fawned over him and listened to him. He, a militia company commander, was like a decoration!

Therefore, he already hated Wang Shuo to the core and wished him dead as soon as possible!

He spat in Wang Shuo's direction: "Help you call someone? Pfft, are you kidding me!"

Anyway, once he's dead, no one will know exactly what happened. Everyone will just know that he was killed by a wild boar. That way, not only did he die, but he also died a pathetic death!

He glanced back at the little wild boar on his back and chuckled, "I'm different. I hunted a wild boar myself. I'm no worse than Ji Xuening!"

On the way down the mountain, he met several commune members. When they saw him carrying a wild boar, they all praised him, saying, "Company Commander Liu, you're doing great! You caught a wild boar on your way up the mountain! You're really amazing!"

He laughed smugly: "It's small, not some big wild boar, no big deal."

One member asked, "What about the rest of the militia?"

He replied, "Everyone has scattered and is doing their own thing."

He received even more praise for saying that; he was no less capable than Ji Xuening in taking down a wild boar all by himself.

After descending the mountain, he also encountered Tang Wan, who hadn't finished work and was gathering firewood around the area.

He deliberately walked past and said loudly, "Sister Tang is gathering firewood again? I won't help you today, I can't go empty-handed."

Tang Wan was initially reluctant to look at him, but the wild boar on his back was so conspicuous that she was somewhat surprised after seeing it.

Liu chuckled: "You hit it easily with just one bullet. I'll bring you two wild boar legs later."

After saying that, he stared at Tang Wan with an ambiguous look in his eyes.

Tang Wan felt disgusted and coldly said, "I don't care!"

Seeing that she always looked down on him just like Wang Shuo, Liu Huo sneered, "You don't have a man as capable as me in your family. If I hunt a wild boar, I'll gladly give you some meat to eat. Don't be so ungrateful. A widow shouldn't pretend to be so high and mighty. Everyone knows that widows have a lot of gossip around them. I don't mind that you have a lot of gossip."
