Hearing the little sister's voice, everyone looked over and saw that the little girl looked anxious.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Li Chenyang thought something had happened to his wife when he saw his younger sister like this.
"Over there, my sister-in-law and I saw a big wild boar and several piglets. My sister-in-law wants you to go catch the wild boar."
A group of young men's eyes lit up when they heard there was wild boar. Meat! Who cared if wild boar was dangerous? Normally, they could only eat meat during holidays like the New Year, and even then, they could only buy a pound or two, requiring meat coupons. This big wild boar was free.
"Yangzi, drink it all. We'll split it in half then." Lei Dazhuang licked his lips.
Li Chenyang also wanted to eat meat. Although they sometimes went down to the river to catch small fish and shrimp, eating those was never as good as eating pork. He immediately nodded and followed Xiao Yanni towards Ye Xiaoxiao's direction.
Ye Xiaoxiao watched the large wild boar huddled by the mountainside, not daring to make a sound.
[Mission: Kill the giant wild boar.]
Ye Xiaoxiao was so surprised that she didn't make a sound.
"Are you taking my life too easy? This is such a huge wild boar, and you want me to kill it? I'm heavily pregnant! System, are you trying to send me to my death?"
[It didn't say you had to kill him, just kill him. The reward is much better than before.] Tongzi also realized that this mission seemed a bit difficult.
How generous is it? Ye Xiaoxiao stared at the wild boar, afraid it would run away again.
【You'll know once you kill them; they won't disappoint you anyway.】
Just then, Ye Xiaoxiao heard footsteps behind her. She was still more than twenty meters away from the pig.
Upon seeing his wife, Li Chenyang immediately told everyone to walk quietly so as not to startle the wild boar.
"Sister-in-law, that wild boar is huge!" The fourth brother came over and saw the wild boar too. His eyes lit up as if he could eat the meat right away.
"Of course, I estimate it weighs three or four hundred pounds."
Ye Xiaoxiao whispered, noticing that a dozen or so people had gathered around her. Although she didn't know many of them, she felt more at ease knowing there was strength in numbers.
[Don't panic, host. Look, here comes a group of muscular men.]
Tongzi's voice rang in Ye Xiaoxiao's mind.
[Screw your tough guys, these are all ugly ducklings.]
"Xiaoxiao, are you alright?" Li Chenyang asked anxiously as soon as he arrived.
"Shh, keep your voice down." Ye Xiaoxiao pointed to the bushes in front of them. "Look what's that?"
Li Chenyang looked in the direction she was pointing and saw a large, dark wild boar rooting in the dirt in the grass.
"It really is a wild boar!" Lei Dazhuang's eyes lit up. "If we can get our hands on it, both our families can have meat to eat."
"The problem is, how do we deal with it?" Gou Shengzi muttered. "This thing is tough to handle. It's got thick skin."
"How about we retreat first? Go back and get our weapons before coming back." Old Six was a bit timid.
[Host, there will be no reward if you don't complete this task.]
Upon hearing Tongzi's words, Ye Xiaoxiao immediately pulled out a gleaming large cleaver from her system space and drew it from behind her back.
"Look, I just found this in the bushes." Ye Xiaoxiao handed the knife to Li Chenyang. "If you want to eat meat, this is a good opportunity. If we let it escape today, it'll be hard to find it again."
Li Chenyang looked at the sharp machete in his hand, then at the wild boar, and swallowed hard. "This...this..." Li Chenyang was afraid that he might hurt his wife again.
"What? You're scared?" Ye Xiaoxiao looked at Li Chenyang defiantly. "If you can't do it, have someone else do it."
"No..." Li Chenyang wanted to say something more.
"What's there to be afraid of? There are so many of us." Lei Dazhuang patted his chest. "At worst, we'll fight it to the death."
"Exactly! A dozen or so grown men like us, do you think we'd be scared by a pig?" Gou Shengzi chimed in, getting excited. The main thing was, they had a knife. With a knife, how could they not kill this pig?
"Alright, you guys go ahead." Ye Xiaoxiao pulled Li Yanni up the rock. "We'll stay here and watch. If you can't beat them, we'll let you know immediately."
Seeing his wife's gloating expression, Li Chenyang gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go, brothers, bottoms up!"
"Wait," Ye Xiaoxiao called out to them again, "Don't just rush in blindly; you need a plan."
The group huddled together to discuss their strategy. They decided to split into two teams: one to block the wild boar's retreat from behind, and the other to flank it from the front.
Ye Xiaoxiao sat on a rock, watching the people below split up and go about their business. All they had to do was wait for the wild boar to die so they could collect their reward.
[Host, you're reaping the benefits without lifting a finger.]
"Of course not. I'm pregnant; I can't exactly go up and fight a wild boar. Anyway, as long as the boar dies, that's all that matters."
As they were talking, the wild boar suddenly raised its head, as if it had sensed something. Li Chenyang and the others quickly stopped what they were doing and held their breath.
The wild boar shook its head, then lowered its head and continued rooting in the soil. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Ready!" Li Chenyang whispered.
The people behind had already blocked the wild boar's retreat, and the people in front were ready.
"superior!"
At Li Chenyang's command, more than a dozen people rushed towards the wild boar at the same time.
The wild boar was startled and turned to run, only to find its escape route blocked. It let out a furious howl and charged directly at the crowd.
"My God!" The fourth brother was so scared that his legs went weak and he quickly hid to the side.
The wild boar crashed headfirst into a tree and then, disoriented, charged off in the other direction. Lei Dazhuang reacted quickly, grabbing a thick wooden stick and swinging it at the boar.
"Okay! Hit it!"
Seeing this, the others also picked up sticks and stones from the ground and threw them at the wild boar.
The wild boar squealed as it was beaten, but it remained incredibly fierce, charging this way and that, keeping everyone in a chaotic state.
"Ouch!" The fifth brother was knocked off his feet by the wild boar and fell to the ground.
"Be careful!" Li Chenyang brandished his machete and slashed at the wild boar.
The wild boar, in pain, charged even more wildly. Gou Shengzi was knocked off balance and fell into the bushes, scraping his face.
Ye Xiaoxiao, watching from above, shook her head: "Go for it! Smash it on the head! And stab it in the neck with that knife!"
...
Sure enough, after a fierce battle, the wild boar finally ran out of energy and was subdued by the group.
Li Chenyang slashed the wild boar's neck with his knife. The boar struggled a few times, but finally stopped moving.
"We did it!" the fourth brother cheered.
A group of people fought with the wild boar for more than half an hour and finally managed to knock it down. Blood was everywhere. When the big boar stopped moving, several piglets huddled around it and kept squealing.
"Quick, catch those little brats too. Tie them up. Otherwise they'll grow up and wreak havoc on the crops." Ye Xiaoxiao and Yanni climbed down from the big rock.
The sixth and seventh brothers, who hadn't dared to go up much, along with the two younger members of the Lei family, went up to catch the piglets. The young men were now covered in mud, some with torn clothes and scrapes. But none of them seemed to care, and they just kept laughing. They had taken down a large wild boar.
