The shrill sound of a gong broke the silence of the night sky in the village. Dogs from each house began to bark one after another, and lights were reflected in some nearby windows that were originally dark.
Boss Ye was startled out of nowhere.
"Qing Gang, what are you doing in the middle of the night? That noise is terrifying."
"Wild boars coming down the mountain is no joke. We have a rule in our village that whenever a wild boar is spotted, we must notify the entire village immediately."
Although Boss Ye didn't understand why, he knew that since there was such a rule in the village, it was probably because something had happened in the past.
Seeing that Ye Qinggang only dared to stand at the door and beat the gong, he simply walked over, crossed the screen, asked for the gong in his hand, and went out with it, beating it while shouting: "There are wild boars coming down the mountain, everyone be careful."
Following Boss Ye's shout, lights were quickly turned on in every household in the village.
It's no wonder that when Boss Ye went out for a walk, he actually found that in addition to his own wild boars, one big and five small, there were indeed other wild boars that had entered the village, destroyed the screens of two families, and were now eating heartily in the yard.
The villagers got up quickly, and Wang Guangping quickly put on his clothes and ran out of the house to check the situation.
"Boss, where is the wild boar?"
"One adult and five children went into my house, and they've all been dealt with," said Old Master Ye. "When I struck the gong just now, I saw that the shoji screens at Wang Tiejun and Ye Qingyuan's houses had been pushed open, and there were also wild boars eating in the yard."
Wan Guangping broke into a sweat when he heard this. He thought that it was almost the end of the year, and he hoped nothing would happen in the village, otherwise the whole village would have a bad New Year.
"What should we do now?" Wan Guangping said, and suddenly remembered Boss Ye's ability. He grabbed his arm and said, "Boss, we have to rely on you this time!"
"Village Chief, let me give it a try!" Boss Ye didn't refuse, but he still had some concerns in his heart, "But I can't guarantee it..."
"As long as you help get rid of the wild boar, all the wild boar meat will be yours."
"Village Chief, that's not the problem." Boss Ye waved his hands repeatedly, "I can't guarantee that I can get rid of all the wild boars."
"Don't worry. Of course, I can't let you go alone. I'll go get some help right away. There are a few dogs in the village that have been with us to hunt wild boars. They can all be used."
Before the village chief could go and call people, he saw several people bringing their dogs and gathering at the village chief's door from all directions, asking questions at once.
"Village chief, where is the wild boar?"
"Is anyone hurt?"
"Didn't you damage the house?"
After hearing these words, Boss Ye probably understood that it was probably because wild boars had come down the mountain in the past and caused considerable losses to the village, which was why everyone was so nervous.
But come to think of it, the winter around the capital is not as long as outside the Great Wall, and there are not as many people here who rely on the mountains for their livelihood as there are outside the Great Wall.
Unless it is a bad year, wild boars will not lack food in the mountains and will rarely come down the mountain.
The villagers had rarely seen him, so they were naturally very nervous.
If we were outside the Great Wall and a wild boar came to the village, everyone would be happy because there would be meat to eat.
Seeing that many men in the village had come over, Ye Laodao said, "Village Chief, I'm going home to get a bow and arrow."
"Hurry up, we'll go to... Ye Qingyuan's house and wait for you." Wang Guangping hesitated for a moment when he said this, and finally chose Ye Qingyuan's house.
Then he arranged for several villagers with the surname Wang to go to Wang Tiejun's house to check the situation.
"Try your best to attract the wild boar's attention and reduce the losses to the Tiejun family.
"But be sure not to provoke the wild boar, or it may cause greater damage."
Several people originally thought that the village chief's arrangement was a bit biased, but when they thought about the good relationship between the four brothers of the Ye family and Ye Qingyuan, even if the village chief didn't say it, the eldest brother Ye would definitely go to help Ye Qingyuan first.
The village chief said this, and it was actually a favor, so he didn't say much. Everyone led their dogs, carried sticks, axes and other things, and divided into two groups and hurried to Ye Qingyuan and Wang Tiejun's homes.
There are three people in Ye Qingyuan's family. Besides him, there is a lame old mother and a wife who is about to give birth.
So even if he heard some movement in the yard, he didn't dare to act rashly.
Even if they lose some food, they dare not provoke the wild boar. After all, the family cannot afford anyone to get hurt.
Qingyuan's mother listened to the wild boars destroying the crops outside and wiped away her tears silently.
The family is already in financial difficulty, and with the loss of food, I'm afraid next year will be difficult.
But she was even more afraid to let her son go out and fight the wild boar.
Qingyuan's wife is due to give birth in a month, and she is already in a heavy body.
I was suddenly woken up in the middle of the night and heard that a wild boar had entered the house. I was scared and felt uncomfortable all over and had a dull stomachache.
But she still did not forget to hold Ye Qingyuan tightly, fearing that he would run away when she was not paying attention.
Just when the family was feeling as helpless as they could be, they suddenly heard a series of dog barking.
Then someone shouted at the top of his voice, "Qingyuan, we came here and said it was a wild boar. You three should stay in the house and don't come out if you hear any noise."
"That's Big Brother Ye's voice!" Ye Qingyuan was so happy to hear these words, "Mom, wife, did you hear that? Big Brother Ye is here to help us!"
"I heard it, I heard it!" Qingyuan's mother got up and walked to the front of the Buddhist shrine. She respectfully lit incense to the Buddha, then knelt on the cushion and began to pray silently.
In the yard, Boss Ye asked several people with dogs to surround the place from a distance.
One reason is to prevent wild boars from escaping.
Secondly, it distracts its attention and makes it not know which direction to go.
