Lin Xiaoxiao thought to herself that this was probably done on purpose by the people in the mountains, in order to prevent the villagers from going up the mountain during this period.
She couldn't help but wonder, since Han Qiushi had chased everyone from the mountains all the way here, why didn't they evacuate immediately and instead caused such a commotion? This made her even more curious about the situation in the mountains.
When the last wild boar stopped struggling, the chilling commotion in the field fell completely silent.
A gentle breeze blew by, carrying wisps of the stench of blood, causing Lin Xiaoxiao's clothes to flutter in the wind.
The crowd, which had been shrouded in fear and seemed to be in a deathly silence, suddenly snapped back to reality as if a start button had been pressed.
"Oh my god, it's finally over! I was so scared!" An older woman patted her chest, her voice still trembling slightly, but her eyes began to scan the frightened people around her.
"Don't panic, everyone. Is everyone alright?" an uncle shouted at the top of his lungs, his eyes filled with concern as he scanned the crowd.
"I just saw some children who were quite frightened, so I need to comfort them," a young woman said as she walked over to the sobbing children, squatted down, and gently coaxed them.
"This Lin educated youth is amazing! He killed the wild boar in just a few moves?"
Wang Xue, standing to the side, couldn't help but pinch Li Mei's arm: "Lin Xiaoxiao is so cool."
"Tsk, it seems like those men are no match for her."
Li Mei said proudly, "You're only realizing it now? When she saved us that day, I thought she was a god."
"I was so impressed by her that day that my eyes almost popped out of their sockets. From then on, I could only admire Lin Zhiqing."
The brigade leader gazed at the farmland ravaged by wild boars, his brow furrowed deeply, his eyes filled with sorrow and helplessness. He sighed deeply, the sigh carrying far across the silent fields. Composing himself, he cleared his throat and loudly ordered, "Come get a few strong young men, carry the wild boars away first. These things are blocking the way, it's a nuisance."
Upon hearing the call, several strong young men immediately responded, "Coming, Captain!" They rubbed their hands together and stepped forward. One of the young men looked at the wild boar on the ground, clicked his tongue, and said, "Goodness, this wild boar is really heavy, but if we can carry it away, we'll have meat to eat, so it's worth it no matter how heavy it is."
"The rest of you, let's quickly salvage the crops that can be saved. As for those that are really trampled, let's replant them. These next few days will be tough," the team leader continued to direct.
Although everyone knew that this was a lot of work, the thought of getting wild boar meat in the threshing ground that afternoon brought smiles to their faces.
"These five wild boars! Our village hasn't had such a big harvest in a long time," an old man said with a smile, his wrinkles radiating joy.
"Yes, I can already imagine having delicious wild boar meat tonight. My kids will be so happy." A woman's eyes sparkled, as if she could already see her family sitting around eating meat, her heart filled with anticipation.
"What's a little overtime for this wild boar meat? You don't even get this kind of good thing normally!" A young man grinned as he picked up his farm tools with great enthusiasm and headed towards the messy field. The others followed suit, and the field became lively again, but this time it was a lively atmosphere filled with hope and energy.
Everyone worked until evening to save the seedlings in the field. Those that couldn't be saved could only be replanted the next day.
The people on this side are trying to salvage the situation, while on the other side they are bleeding the wild boar.
Five wild boars came down this time. Captain Wang was heartbroken to see the loss of Miao Miao, so he decided to give two of them to everyone. The remaining wild boars were sold.
Captain Wang had his own connections for making this plan. He knew someone at the county meat processing plant, and he immediately called someone over to haul away the remaining three animals with a tractor and sell them.
Whether or not people will buy it is not a concern at all. In this era, meat is always in high demand and short supply.
There's absolutely no need to worry about them refusing to accept it.
They planned to clean up the remaining two animals overnight and start dividing the meat first thing the next morning.
Before everyone left, Captain Wang spoke up, "Lin Zhiqing deserves the most credit this time. She got 15 jin of meat by herself. If you have any objections, speak up now, so that you won't be dissatisfied when the meat is distributed tomorrow."
Everyone saw how dangerous the situation was just now. If it weren't for Lin Xiaoxiao, someone else would definitely have been injured. Most people have no objections.
"Alright, since no one has any objections, it's settled then," Captain Wang said, waving his hand.
"Also, those who are still able should quickly send the injured person to the hospital. Someone from the family needs to go and take care of them." Captain Wang was very worried as he said this. The crops were ruined, and the person was injured. It was all for everyone's sake, and the medical expenses would be paid by the team.
Lin Xiaoxiao realized there was nothing more for her to do and wanted to go back, but to her surprise, everyone around her gathered around, praising her and looking at her as if she were some novelty.
"Lin Zhiqing, you're really amazing. You managed to pierce through the wild boar in just a few strokes. That's incredible."
"Yeah, how did you learn to use this? And how come you're so strong?"
“Lin Zhiqing, can you teach someone with such great skills? I’ll let my child learn from you. If things get tough in the future, he can at least get some meat from the mountain to sell.” The more the aunt talked, the more she felt that her idea was feasible.
If I learn this skill, not only will I be able to support myself, but my family will probably never lack meat. It's such a good thing, I definitely have to ask for it.
