Chapter 60 Sending a Banner
I hope this can distract the wild boars and help Xiao Zhiyu.
Xiao Zhiyu glanced coldly at Cai Zhixu who was trembling at the moment, pursed his lips but did not say anything.
He knew that the situation was extremely critical and he had to concentrate all his energy to deal with the enemy in front of him.
So he shifted his attention again to the wild boars around him that were ready to move.
The leading wild boar was obviously an experienced veteran.
It stared at Xiao Zhiyu with its eyes wide open, letting out bursts of creepy roars.
Then it rushed forward suddenly, and its four hooves kicked up a cloud of dust.
As the wild boar, leading the attack, began to charge.
Several other slightly smaller but equally ferocious wild boars around seemed to be encouraged and followed closely behind, launching a fierce attack in the same direction!
Faced with this situation, Xiao Zhiyu frowned and his expression became more serious.
He tightly grasped the knife in his right hand, intending to use the tree as a springboard to quickly escape from his current location.
However, just as he was about to attack, he did not expect that a wild boar of even larger size would appear behind him.
The guy's eyes were red, and he opened his bloody mouth to reveal rows of terrifying teeth. He rushed towards him with extreme ferocity!
Xiao Zhiyu's pupils suddenly shrank.
His entire body froze. He was already in mid-air, making it difficult for him to react effectively immediately.
After a loud "bang", the giant wild boar that was originally attacking this side with great momentum fell to the ground.
Then, "Village Chief!"
Chen Rong's anxious voice came over.
Almost at the same time, a series of crisp sounds of gunfire were heard.
"Bang bang bang."
Affected by the sudden attack, the remaining wild boars let out shrill howls, fell to the ground and twitched, and finally stopped struggling.
Xiao Zhiyu's eyes dimmed slightly. After confirming that there were no living wild boars around, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and his tense jaw muscles gradually relaxed.
He looked around and made sure there were no more threats before he could finally relax.
"You came just in time."
Xiao Zhiyu put the broken knife back into his waist and said without any expression, with a hint of coldness in his tone.
"We're leaving in a few days, so I can bring these wild boars back as a treat for everyone."
He pointed to the wild boar carcasses scattered on the ground, a gleam in his eyes.
Although he appeared calm on the surface, he was actually extremely happy inside.
After all, in this place where supplies are scarce, having a hearty dinner is a rare good thing.
"Before we go on the mission, let's have some good food!"
Xiao Zhiyu raised his voice.
Chen Rong was just worried that Xiao Zhiyu would be injured by the wild boars.
Now he was seen standing unharmed among the pile of corpses.
He was relieved and said with a smile, "I'll listen to you, village chief! I'll take people to carry these wild boars back now!"
Chen Rong's voice was full of admiration.
He knew that if it weren't for Xiao Zhiyu, many people would have been injured or even killed today.
Chen Rong stared at the pig on the ground.
Those wild boars were huge in size and covered with thorns. They were obviously not easy prey to deal with.
Although wild boar meat is difficult to cook and doesn't taste very good.
For a place like theirs where supplies are scarce, being able to eat wild boar meat a few times is already a luxury!
Thinking of this, Chen Rong couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction in his heart.
Xiao Zhiyu put his hands on his hips, nodded, and suddenly looked at a tree trunk.
"Do you want me to go up and carry you down?"
Cai Zhixu looked at him in amazement.
After a while, he recovered from his shock, touched his nose and smiled awkwardly.
His heart was filled with admiration and gratitude, and he also secretly felt fortunate for his own luck.
If Xiao Zhiyu had not helped in time, the consequences would have been disastrous.
"Comrade, I'm so sorry, my legs are numb and I can't get down for the time being."
Cai Zhixu's voice trembled a little, and it was obvious that he was very embarrassed.
He was terrified because he knew he almost didn't survive.
At the same time, he felt ashamed because he now seemed so incompetent.
Xiao Zhiyu frowned slightly, then raised his eyebrows.
He then arranged for a few people to help get Cai Zhixu down from the tree.
Until his feet finally touched the ground, the solid feeling gave Cai Zhixu a moment of relaxation, but then his legs went weak.
With a "thump", the whole person fell directly to the ground.
This action is like a profound bow to Xiao Zhiyu!
Seeing this scene, Xiao Zhiyu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head helplessly.
Cai Zhixu, who was lying on the ground, was also confused and didn't know how to react.
Cai Zhixu blushed and quickly climbed up to sit on the ground. He began to vigorously knead his numb calves and said gratefully, "Comrade, thank you so much for today! If it weren't for you, I don't know if I would still be alive now!"
"Which team are you from? I'll definitely give you a banner later!"
Seeing the other party's familiar attitude, Xiao Zhiyu immediately felt something was wrong. His eyelids twitched involuntarily and he asked coldly, "What's your name? Where are you from? What are you doing in the mountains?"
"Tell the truth about everything, don't lie!"
Cai Zhixu's expression changed instantly as he realized that his position was extremely sensitive.
This is a border area, and anyone suspicious may be regarded as a hidden spy and subjected to strict interrogation!
Thinking of this, he raised his hands in panic to show that he had no ill intentions. His face turned pale and he stammered, "Don't, don't... I say!"
"Actually, I'm just an ordinary doctor. I used to run a small pharmacy, but business was bad and it went bankrupt. My family didn't welcome me, and I had nowhere else to go, so I thought of coming here to seek help from a friend."
Cai Zhixu trembled and cautiously looked up at the serious-looking team members.
The eyes of these team members were firm and cold.
He swallowed nervously, making a slight sound in his throat. He pointed to a tree not far away and said a little guiltily, "I don't have a job now, so I have nothing to do every day. Today, I suddenly had the urge to come here to collect herbs. I didn't know I would have the bad luck to run into a herd of wild boars!"
His voice was trembling.
"If you don't believe me, just look at what's in my backpack. It's full of medicinal herbs!"
Xiao Zhiyu looked at him with suspicion in his eyes, frowned slightly, and winked at Chen Rong.
Chen Rong took a few steps forward and picked up the backpack that Cai Zhixu had placed on the ground.
He flipped through the contents with his hands, a confused expression on his face, and then whispered, "Head, I don't understand. Aren't these just weeds?"
Xiao Zhiyu raised his eyebrows.
Apparently he didn't recognize the herbs himself.
