Chapter 78 Wild Boar Goes Down the Mountain
After going down the mountain, Shen Yi and Ji Hongjun rode two bicycles to the town, and no one knew where they went.
He came back in the evening, and when he put the bicycles at Li Ruolan and Qin Wan's house, he specifically reminded them not to go up the mountain during the recent period.
Deng Minghao nodded: "Don't worry, we know."
Shen Yi then left and returned to the educated youth site.
After this rest, it was time to harvest corn. Every household started to get busy and began to prepare for the autumn harvest again.
But before the autumn harvest, another big event happened.
Li Ruolan was sleeping soundly at night when she suddenly heard some noises coming from a distance. She opened her eyes groggily and saw Deng Minghao sitting up beside her.
"What's wrong? Was it thundering?"
Deng Minghao shook his head with a grim expression: "It's not thunder, it's a gunshot." When he went to rescue Lu Yunxiao before, he had touched and fired a gun, so he was very familiar with the sound of gunshots.
I am 100% sure that the noises just now were gunshots.
Deng Minghao had just finished speaking when two more gunshots rang out, seemingly from very close distance.
Li Ruolan was immediately startled and quickly sat up: "We are so close, could something have happened in the bullpen?"
Deng Minghao shook his head: “I don’t know, but Shen Yi and the other two went to the town a few days ago, so I think they should have contacted the troops.
There's no certain reason for these gunshots. Maybe they were to eliminate enemy spies. Don't worry too much. If you feel something is wrong later, let's quickly hide in the space."
Deng Minghao held Li Ruolan in his arms, comforting her while listening to the noise outside.
But the noise outside just calmed down, and Deng Minghao never heard any gunshots again until dawn.
But as soon as I got up, I heard a commotion in the village, as if someone was beating a gong.
Deng Minghao put on his clothes and went out to see what was happening, and then he heard several men shouting that the wild boar had come down the mountain.
Lu Yunxiao and the male educated youth from the educated youth point came out, and Shen Yi and Ji Hongjun were also there.
When people heard that the wild boar had come down the mountain, they were stunned. Deng Minghao frowned and asked, "Why would a wild boar come down the mountain for no reason?"
Was he startled by the gunshots yesterday?
Although everyone couldn't figure it out, since the wild boar had already come down, the men had to go and take a look.
Deng Minghao went back to get a machete and a bow and arrow, then told Li Ruolan to lock the door and hide in the space if anything went wrong.
Li Ruolan said okay and touched her bulging belly. She should take care of herself first.
At the educated youth site, all the female educated youth were asked to hide in their houses and not come out, while the male educated youth took their tools and went to see where the wild boar was.
Lu Yunxiao also came out with three bows, and gave the other two to Shen Yi and Ji Hongjun. The three of them, together with Deng Minghao, rushed into the village first.
"I seemed to hear gunshots last night. Did the gunshots scare the wild boars down?" Deng Minghao asked the three people around him.
Lu Yunxiao shook his head: "The wild boar den is not here, and it is impossible for them to come down the mountain from here after hearing the gunshots. I guess something happened that we don't know about."
Shen Yi guessed, “Didn’t Qin Wan say before that there was a group of people on the mountain? We reported it to the organization, and they sent a team to search, but they found nothing.
Those people might really be there, they were hiding far away, these wild boars might have been chased here by them, plus they heard the gunshots last night, so they were alarmed and came down the mountain. "
Deng Minghao was about to speak when he suddenly saw a big black wild boar running out of a house, and four people drew their bows and shot arrows at the same time.
I don't know whose arrow missed the target, but three arrows still pierced into the wild boar's body, one hit the eye, and one hit the stomach and hind leg.
The wild boar was not dead. It just howled wildly a few times and then ran away covered in blood.
"Help! Help!" The four people were about to chase after him when they suddenly heard a few more voices shouting for help.
Shen Yi and Ji Hongjun stopped immediately and ran towards the person who was shouting for help.
The wild boar was already injured. The arrow shot deep into its hind leg, and it didn't run long before Deng Minghao and Lu Yunxiao caught up with it.
The two men took out machetes and chopped at the wild boar several times with all their strength before they killed it.
Before the two had time to catch their breath, they saw a wild boar running past them, and they hurriedly chased after it.
The wild boar did not run far before it met other men in the village. Relying on their numbers and machetes, they killed the wild boar in a short while. One of the men had his leg broken by the wild boar.
Deng Minghao and Lu Yunxiao did not get involved. Deng Minghao said, "Let's go to the cowshed. There are wooden sheds over there. If a wild boar runs in, those people will definitely die."
Lu Yunxiao also knew that Shen Yi and Ji Hongjun had a mission. Although he was no longer a soldier, he still remembered the mission he should carry.
The two men immediately ran towards the cowshed. Before they arrived, they heard the grunting sound of a wild boar. They looked at each other and quickly quickened their pace.
But before they got close, they heard gunshots, and then saw two large wild boars lying dead on the ground in front of the cowshed.
It seems that the gunshots last night were caused by people sent by the army, and they should not have withdrawn yet.
Just as I was thinking this, gunshots were heard in the village. It must be the militiamen arriving.
Li Ruolan and the others in the house heard the chaotic noises outside gradually turn into calm. After a long while, she opened the door and walked out.
Qin Wan and Guo Xiaoya came out of the door of the educated youth point next to them, and everyone looked at each other.
"I just heard a few gunshots. I guess the militiamen came over. Now I can't hear any movement. I guess the wild boars have been killed." Li Ruolan said.
Xia Zhen's face turned pale, and she tightly pulled Zhou Shengnan and Zheng Fanghua's clothes: "Why is it so dangerous here? There are even wild boars."
As they were talking, they suddenly heard crying coming from the village. Everyone knew that someone was probably killed by the wild boar's hooves.
After standing here for a while, Li Ruolan saw Deng Minghao and the others coming back. Seeing that Deng Minghao was fine, Li Ruolan felt relieved.
"Are you all okay?"
Except for Deng Minghao and Lu Yunxiao who were relatively clean, the other male educated youth had more or less blood on their bodies.
Shen Yi and Ji Hongjun had several scratches on their hands and feet, probably from fighting with wild boars.
