Judging from Zhou Xiaowu's voice, the militia team and the educated youth team should not be far apart. If they saw the wild boar, it proves that the wild boar was also near the educated youth.
But the educated youth hadn't expected that the wild boar was closer than they anticipated. Almost as soon as Zhou Xiaowu finished speaking, a rustling sound came from the bushes.
Then, a large, dark figure suddenly rushed out and pounced on Zhang Kangmei.
The boar was so fast that Zhang Kangmei didn't even have time to raise her gun. She could only instinctively dodge to the side, but her dodging was not as quick as the boar's. Her arm was slapped by the boar's claws, and with a "rip," half of her sleeve fell off.
Fortunately, the soon-to-be-sounding "bangs" caused the wild boar to fall into a pool of blood.
The gunpowder gun wasn't very powerful, and fearing the wild boar might not die, Lin Zhiheng and Ma Chaoyang fired a few more shots at the convulsing boar.
Only when the wild boar stopped moving completely did Ma Chaoyang breathe a sigh of relief. He was just about to go check on Zhang Kangmei when he suddenly felt his blood run cold.
Animals have a strong sense of danger, and humans are no exception.
Ma Chaoyang couldn't see behind him, but he could feel the air freeze for a moment.
He felt frozen in place, unable to move, dizzy and with ringing in his ears. All he could see was Lin Zhiheng's horrified face and the word "Be careful" that seemed to be uttered several times slower.
Ma Chaoyang's grandfather was a farmer and had a lifelong attachment to the countryside, hoping that his grandchildren would also become farmers in the countryside.
However, all of Ma Chaoyang's cousins went to the army; none of them went to the countryside. To please his grandfather, Ma Chaoyang's father forced him to go to the countryside.
At this moment, Ma Chaoyang didn't blame his father. He just felt that he had lost out in his life. He hadn't even had a girlfriend yet, and he was about to go to meet Marx.
If there is an afterlife, he will definitely do everything he wants to do while he is young, because no one knows how long their life will last.
Just like Ma Chaoyang, who could have predicted that he would be killed by a wild boar?
Although Ma Chaoyang's inner thoughts seemed to span centuries, in reality they were only fleeting moments.
The wild boar behind him didn't get close before he was shot dead.
Ma Chaoyang stiffly turned around, looked at the motionless dead pig lying on the ground, and then slowly looked toward the direction of the gunshot.
A hint of murderous intent lingered on Qin Hanshu's face. Her eyes were calm, and her seemingly delicate body inexplicably gave people a sense of security as steady as Mount Tai.
Ma Chaoyang's nose tingled with emotion as he said, "Sister, from now on you're my real sister... You saved my life..."
"I've wanted to say this for a long time, don't call me 'sister'!" Qin Hanshu said disdainfully, "You're older than me, aren't you? You're making me feel old for no reason."
This batch of educated youth were all high school graduates, but their ages at enrollment varied. Ma Chaoyang seemed to be a year older than Qin Hanshu.
Ma Chaoyang rubbed his nose and wiped the sweat from his forehead, stubbornly saying, "No way, I'm officially calling you 'older sister' now. It has nothing to do with age, it's a title of respect!"
Qin Hanshu ignored him and didn't care.
At this moment, several members of the militia finally arrived.
Zhou Xiaowu asked anxiously, "Is anyone hurt?"
Zhang Kangmei's sleeve was torn, and she suffered some minor injuries.
Qin Hanshu said, "I have some iodine solution. I'll apply it for you when we get back." Even if you go to the commune health station, they'll only apply some anti-inflammatory medicine.
Yang Aizhen inherited Qin Hanshu's father's habit of keeping common medicines such as anti-inflammatory drugs and painkillers at home. When Qin Hanshu rummaged through the house, she naturally put them all into her spatial storage.
Zhou Xiaowu hurriedly said, "That's good. Be sure to apply the medicine! Even though it's just a broken skin, wild boars are still wild animals and not clean."
Another militiaman said, "We only saw one of the wild boars, and we didn't kill it. It got away. Luckily, you guys are very fortunate."
The wild boar that attacked Ma Chaoyang later was the one that had been wounded by the militia; it was very ferocious and much harder to deal with than an ordinary wild boar.
Zhou Xiaowu then asked, "Who killed this wounded wild boar?"
Ma Chaoyang and the other two all looked at Qin Hanshu.
Zhou Xiaowu stared blankly at Qin Hanshu, asking uncertainly, "You?"
Qin Hanshu simply hummed in response.
The militiamen's eyes all darted toward Qin Hanshu.
After Ma Chaoyang and his group repeatedly confirmed the news, the militiamen finally digested it.
Can someone who has just learned to shoot kill a wild boar? Especially in such a sudden and urgent situation, this is not just a test of marksmanship, but also requires the hunter to have a calm and strong mind.
Zhou Xiaowu nodded to Qin Hanshu: "I'm sorry, little Qin, I underestimated you before."
Qin Hanshu was surprised that Zhou Xiaowu would apologize to her for this, and smiled, "It's okay, I understand your thoughts."
Militiaman A joked, "The wild boar that escaped from Brother Wu's clutches was actually killed by Little Qin, the educated youth."
Militiaman B chimed in, "Our brigade's sharpshooter title should be transferred to Little Qin, the educated youth."
Zhou Xiaowu said nonchalantly, "I was never a sharpshooter to begin with. It's just that Uncle Guang isn't around, so I, the monkey, have become the king."
This wasn't an important matter; after a few jokes, it was forgotten.
The hunting competition hadn't started yet. The militia team had a slightly better catch, but considering that the educated youth team had hunted two wild boars, Zhou Xiaowu counted the educated youth team as the winner.
However, after the perilous attack by the wild boar, no one cared about winning or losing anymore.
Anyway, the militia members were genuinely impressed by the educated youth.
