Chapter 29 Attacked! Gunshots!
Zhao Yeqing suppressed the urge to run away, lowered his body, forced himself to look it in the eye, and slowly grabbed the spear at his feet.
Xuebing and Huhu arched their trembling bodies, made humming sounds, and hid behind her.
It was the first time she saw a pair of eyes filled with murderousness and coldness. She didn't dare to look away. If she did, the wild boar would most likely rush over and attack her.
The wild boar's jet-black bristles were covered in mud, which had dried into a hard shell in the current temperature. Several wounds were vaguely visible under the mud shell.
This wild boar was larger than the one that had been in her garden that night, with tusks sticking out from the sides of its mouth and breathing heavily through its nostrils.
A wild boar can run at a speed of over 50 kilometers per hour. If she turns around and runs away, the chances of her escaping are almost zero.
There is an old saying in the countryside: one pig, two bears, and three tigers and leopards. To some extent, the lethality of wild boars is higher than that of tigers and leopards. She has no confidence that she can beat them.
There were pine trees all around, with thick, bare trunks. There were hardly any footholds for her to climb up, not to mention that she had Huhu and Xuebing with her.
This seemed to have become an unsolvable dead end. She hardly dared to blink, and beads of sweat on her forehead slid down her cheeks to the ground.
Maybe because the weather was too hot, the confrontation lasted shorter than she had imagined. She stared intently at the wild boar's every move and found that the wild boar's hind legs began to bend slightly. Her heart skipped a beat, as this was a move for the wild boar to attack.
Sure enough, she immediately saw the black figure rushing towards her!
Zhao Yeqing was well prepared. When the wild boar's hind legs bent, he slowly reached his hand backwards. When the wild boar rushed over, he picked up the two cubs and ran away.
Her target was the fallen trees that were parasitized by the mushrooms she had just picked.
The fairly dense pine forest limited the wild boar's speed to a certain extent. Zhao Yeqing ran around the tree holding the cub.
The fallen trees were very thick and stacked together with a gap in the middle. She could see a lot of mushrooms growing inside. When she went to pick them just now, she tried to get in through the gap. The space was too small to hide a person, but it could hold the two cubs.
Zhao Yeqing turned and circled the tree. The wild boar was too big to be very agile in the overly dense forest, but its physical fitness was there, and it almost pressed forward step by step.
Zhao Yeqing ran to the crevice and threw the two cubs that were clinging to her into it. She didn't have time to comfort them and quickly climbed up a big pine tree nearby.
There was no foothold on the pine tree, so she could only hold on to the thick trunk tightly to move upwards.
The wild boar came to the tree and slammed the trunk hard. The huge impact force almost made Zhao Yeqing slip down. She screamed in fear and climbed up even harder. If she kept holding on to the trunk for a while, she would surely be exhausted. If she could climb to a higher place, there would be branches that could provide the support for her to stay there.
She was only two meters above the ground, and all she could do now was climb up and pray that the wild boar would go away quickly.
After hitting a few times, the wild boar stopped and paced back and forth under the tree. Seeing that Zhao Yeqing did not come down, it turned and walked towards where the two cubs were hiding.
Three or four big trees fell down and piled on top of each other. Logically, it was impossible to push away such a heavy weight, but Zhao Yeqing was afraid of that possibility, so he grabbed a few mushrooms from his waist basket and threw them at the wild boar, trying to divert its attention with food.
The wild boar pushed hard a few times but found it motionless, so it let out an angry roar. Zhao Yeqing was just about to breathe a sigh of relief and continue climbing.
She saw the fool Huhu sticking his little head out from the gap!
Zhao Yeqing never felt that the pet hospital was so important. She was incompetent as a stepmother and couldn't take the baby to a physical examination or a brain department.
The wild boar became even more excited when it found prey in the gap, and it rammed the fallen tree trunks frantically with its body. These tree trunks did not fall down when the ground cracked, but had been rotten for many years, so mushrooms grew on them.
Under the wild boar's brutal charge, it actually knocked the top tree down.
Zhao Yeqing looked at the wild boar at her feet and the two little cubs that were almost exposed. If she continued to let the wild boar hit the rotten wood, Huhu and Xuebing would definitely be taken away. The wild boar that got the food would leave this place, and she would be saved.
They are just two little leopards who have been together for a month. Compared with my own life, it doesn't seem that important...right?
Zhao Yeqing gripped the spear tightly and couldn't help but smile bitterly. "Huhu, you little fool, if your mother could still survive today, just wait and see how I would beat you when I get home."
After knocking down the topmost piece of wood, the wild boar stood in front of the pile of rotten wood, panting and resting, waiting to recover its strength before continuing the attack.
She was now about three meters above the ground. She hugged the tree trunk and slowly adjusted the angle. When she slid down to more than two meters, she pointed the spear at the wild boar's eyes and jumped down.
The moment the spear pierced the wild boar's eye, her adrenaline surged and all the blood rushed to her brain. She gripped the spear tightly and wanted to stab it further. The wild boar let out a shrill cry of pain, twisted its body and subconsciously rushed forward.
Zhao Yeqing grabbed the spear with both hands. The wild boar suddenly rushed forward, and the tail end of the spear hit her chest. She was knocked to the ground by the force and rolled down the slope until she hit a tree and was stopped.
There were many stones covered with pine needles on the ground in the pine forest. When he jumped down, he felt a sharp pain in his heel, and then his chest was hit hard and he rolled down the slope. Zhao Yeqing felt pain all over his body.
The wild boar was injured and went mad. It swung its body wildly, shook off the spear that was stuck in its eye, and tried to rush towards her again.
Zhao Yeqing's eyes went dark and his head felt dizzy. He barely propped himself up and tried to hide behind a tree.
"Bang!"
A gunshot rang out throughout the forest.
The bullet went through the woods and went straight into the wild boar's body.
'Bang! ' Another gunshot.
Zhao Yeqing vaguely saw a black shadow falling in front of him.
Gunshot?
Zhao Yeqing was no less vigilant than when he faced the wild boar.
She was not so stupid as to think that there would be a rescue team coming to save her when there was no signal and ruins everywhere.
Poachers who were in the mountains before the ground cracked?
This possibility is the greatest. There are quite a few poachers in Meishan every year. When I was a child, I saw poachers being caught. They had extremely vicious faces and they dared to shoot at the police.
Zhao Yeqing lay on the ground with her hands covering her chest. She felt a dull pain all over her body. She couldn't run away. She only hoped that Huhu and Xuebing would not make any noise and be discovered.
I could vaguely hear footsteps approaching from afar. The pace was quite fast and they were in front of me in just a few breaths.
