On the opposite hillside, there used to be a large patch of Solomon's seal.
Polygonatum odoratum, also known as mountain bell root, is a medicinal herb.
During famine years, when people had nothing to eat, they would dig up Solomon's Seal roots, take them home, wash them, steam them, and eat them.
At this moment, the soil beneath the bamboo grove has been uprooted, revealing the black earth underneath.
The roots of the Solomon's Seal, which grow extensively underground, have long been completely devoured.
Not far from the bamboo grove, under a large tree, a litter of wild boars was lying down: a sow and four yellow-haired piglets.
Wild boars have a very varied diet; they eat almost anything. In autumn, they gather nuts such as jujubes and walnuts from the ground, while in spring and summer, they mainly eat various grasses and roots.
Especially tuberous vegetables rich in starch, such as lilies and Solomon's seal.
Judging from this situation, it seems that the sow and her piglets were rooting around in this area yesterday, looking for Solomon's seal to eat, and then slept nearby last night.
Wild boars are generally lazy, especially after they've eaten their fill the night before. They won't get up until around 10 a.m. during the day.
It's not even six o'clock yet, and a bunch of pigs are all huddled together, sleeping soundly.
Erlang Shen, leading the Black General, rushed over at top speed.
Hearing the commotion, the sow immediately stood up, making "gurgling" and "whirring" noises to warn the piglets.
Hearing the commotion, the yellow-haired pigs stood up. At that moment, Erlang Shen and General Hei had already arrived and charged directly at the pigs.
Wild boars usually go into pen in the winter. At this time, the boars haven't joined the herd yet, and there's only a sow leading her piglets.
Unlike boars, sows are not as bold. When they saw two large dogs charging towards them, they didn't hesitate and ran away.
