When Zhou Erfu and Zhou Sifu arrived at the location of the wild boars, Tie Qingfeng's five guards had already set up their formation. They decided to deal with them one by one. In order not to let any wild boars escape, they simply drove them down the mountain and dealt with them all together when they got there.
Five guards, waving tree branches, formed a semi-encirclement and shouted as they drove the wild boar down the mountain.
"These guards are wasting their skills! They didn't even lift a finger, and they even tried to drive the wild boar down the mountain. There are rice paddies below. If the wild boar rushes into the rice paddies, it will ruin all the rice." Zhou Erfu muttered angrily a few words, then picked up his axe and rushed out, shouting as he ran.
"I'll kill one first; we can't let the wild boars come down the mountain."
Zhou Erfu was very aggressive. With a leap, he swung his axe down. Perhaps because he had been learning kung fu for a few days, his strike was very precise. The axe landed squarely on the head of the wild boar that was walking at the back. Because he was as strong as an ox and used all his strength to swing the axe, the entire axe blade became embedded in the boar's head.
Success! He took down a wild boar with his first move. However, the commotion was so great that it startled four other wild boars, who turned around to attack Zhou Erfu. Fortunately, Tie Qingfeng's guards were there, and they threw away their branches and joined the battle.
Knowing kung fu is definitely a good thing. With the five guards attacking with all their might, plus the combined efforts of Zhou Erfu and Zhou Sifu, the remaining four wild boars were all killed within half an hour.
With the crisis averted, the maids and servants who had been frightened and scattered about, and then disappeared into the shadows, reappeared and gathered around the tree where Tie Qingfeng and Song Jiao had taken refuge.
"Young master, you can come down now. All the wild boars are dead, we're safe." Tie Qingfeng's personal servant looked up and said to the young boy in the tree.
Tie Qingfeng glanced indifferently at the group of servants and said without any emotion, "Let's go back. The sun is too strong, and it's making me uncomfortable."
"Yes, let's hurry back. It's too dangerous up in the mountains. We're only halfway up. It's not like we're deep in the mountains where a group of wild boars can suddenly appear. It's terrifying. Luckily, we brought so many guards with us, otherwise, who knows what might have happened." Song Jiao's face was pale, and she trembled as she cowered in the guard's arms.
Xingxing and Ruru had already climbed down the tree and followed Dafu and the others to the tree where Tie Qingfeng and the others were. When Xingxing heard Song Jiao's words, she thought she was making a fuss over nothing.
"There are many wild animals in the mountains, otherwise where would we get so much meat to eat? If we can't beat them, we can hide. It would be even better if we could hunt wild boars. Not only can we eat pork, but we can also render lard. We can use the lard to fry loach and eel, and we can also make pancakes. Look how delicious wild boars are."
Ruru was initially quite scared, but after hearing what Xingxing said, she quickly felt relieved. She clapped her hands and said happily, "Wild boar ribs are delicious, pig's blood is delicious, and there's so much meat. Ruru likes it."
“Yes, let’s hurry and help Second Brother and Fourth Brother carry the wild boars. I saw it just now, Second Brother and Fourth Brother killed two wild boars, so our family can get two.” Xingxing was also protective of her food. While everyone else was terrified, she was paying attention to how many wild boars her family had killed.
Zhou Dafu, Zhou Sanfu, and Zhou Wufu followed closely behind them. Although they didn't say anything, their thoughts were the same as Xingxing's: they had to quickly protect the two wild boars that belonged to their family.
Alright, they're right halfway up the mountain. No need to lift them; Zhou Erfu and Zhou Sifu have already cut some vines and tied the two wild boars together tightly.
After tying it up, the two brothers pushed the wild boar down the mountain together. The Zhou family lived at the end of the village, not far from the foot of the mountain. Once they got the wild boar down the mountain, it would be easy to get it home.
The five members of the Zhou family had already hurriedly driven away the two wild boars. The remaining three were killed by the guards of the Song family. The guards did not move, but waited for Tie Qingfeng to come and make arrangements.
"Take them all back. Keep one for the manor, and give the other two to the villagers of Yegou Village." After giving his instructions, Tie Qingfeng gestured for his servants to take him back first.
Four guards stayed close to Tie Qingfeng, while the remaining six were responsible for bringing the three wild boars back. The six tried to lift them; for martial artists, the two-hundred-pound wild boars weren't too heavy for two people, but finding sticks and ropes to tie them up would be troublesome.
“Why don’t we just roll down the mountain too, to avoid any trouble?” said one of the more influential guards.
No one else has any objections; why not do it if it saves time and effort?
"Bang." The two wild boars tied together landed steadily at the foot of the mountain. Zhou Erfu and Zhou Sifu quickly jumped to where the wild boars landed. As if they had been prepared, the two cut the ropes binding the wild boars and skillfully took out some very tough vines to tie one of the wild boars to a thick wooden stick.
The two then nimbly carried the wild boar home, with Xingxing following closely behind on her short legs, but someone else had to stay behind to watch over the other wild boar.
“Wufu, take Xingxing and Ruru home first. My third brother and I will stay here and watch over them,” Zhou Dafu said.
"Fifth Brother, hurry up!" Xingxing called out anxiously.
"What's the rush?" Zhou Wufu said casually.
"Second Brother and Fourth Brother are in a hurry to carry the wild boar back, they definitely need to bleed it quickly, Xingxing wants to go back and check." Xingxing took small, quick steps and ran ahead on her own.
"Slow down, be careful not to fall." Zhou Wufu chuckled as he caught up with her. He scooped up Ruru with one hand and carried her away. After catching up with Xingxing, he originally intended to carry both of them together, but after trying it, he realized he had overestimated himself.
The pressure is immense; I can't even lift two.
At ten years old, he couldn't carry two little girls at the same time unless he had the strength of his second brother. However, his second brother had never carried Xingxing and Ruru at the same time either, not because he couldn't carry them, but because he only liked to carry Xingxing and rarely carried Ruru.
Because if you're holding a star, you'll get to eat meat.
Actually, Zhou Erfu is a simpleton with a very straightforward personality. He doesn't like that Ruru is timid and loves to cry. Ruru is also a little afraid of him and is always timid when she sees him. Zhou Erfu thinks that he can't eat the little girl up. She's so afraid of him, and he doesn't like to get close to her.
