Wang Tianxiao gestured for him to be quiet and look ahead.
Wang Tianxin looked closely and was immediately filled with surprise. Just as he was about to speak, he quickly covered his mouth with his hand.
Wang Tianxiao gestured for the three of them to slowly crawl to the ground. There was a small ravine in front of them, where they could hide. The wild grass on the edge of the ravine blocked their figures, but it did not block their view.
On the opposite hillside, more than a hundred meters away, a dozen or so wild boars were scattered about, digging for food in the ground. They varied in size, and it was impossible to tell how many were male or female, but given the small size of the group, they must all be present.
Opposite is an apricot mountain, which was originally covered with countless apricot trees.
In winter, all the wild apricots naturally fall to the ground.
Wild apricots are harvested at different times than regular apricots.
Apricots typically bloom in March and gradually bear fruit, ripening around June or July, and eventually falling to the ground by the Mid-Autumn Festival at the latest.
However, the growth cycle of wild apricots is later.
They typically bloom in summer and ripen quite late, often after the leaves have fallen from the trees, before the apricots are fully ripe, somewhat resembling persimmons.
Just like on the opposite hillside, there are still many trees with bright red apricots hanging on them. Wild boars gather under the apricot trees and live off the apricot fruits.
They use their strong, thick-skinned bodies to ram into the apricot trees, waiting for the apricots to fall before eating them.
By the way, the best app for reading aloud and listening to books right now is the .huanyuanapp app (install the latest version).
After eating their fill, they lay down on the hillside to bask in the sun.
Several smaller wild boars were even chasing and playing with each other, having a great time.
Wang Tianxiao didn't let Wang Tianxin make a sound because wild boars have excellent hearing, several times better than humans.
Don't assume they just have an amazing sense of smell.
If they hear about it and disperse, then there won't be much to gain.
"What do we do?" Liu Yuan looked at the wild boars, squinted his eyes, and his seemingly calm body was already surging with emotions, as if the energy buried deep in his heart had been awakened again.
Wang Tianxiao did not speak immediately.
He first looked around at the terrain, then gently tested the wind direction again. After thinking for a moment, he whispered, "There are more than a dozen on the opposite mountain. Our goal is to hunt three yellow-haired ones. If we don't have enough yellow-haired ones, we'll use the sows. After the first shot is fired, they will scatter. The three of us can't possibly stop them, so we only need to intercept them from two directions."
"Aren't there three of us, bro?"
Wang Tianxiao shook his head. "Wild boars are very fast and have a strong impact; they can't be stopped by ordinary people. You and Uncle Liu will block one direction, and I'll block the other. Remember, wait until the wild boar is about 40 or 50 meters away, then quickly open fire to be on alert. Don't let it get too close or too far away..."
Liu Yuan didn't speak; he understood.
Wang Tianxin looked confused, not knowing why this was the case, so Wang Tianxiao patiently explained it to him.
Intercepting wild boars is a dynamic process.
We cannot be rigid and dogmatic.
When wild boars flee, they often break into several waves. If you want to intercept them, you need to keep a safe distance when they rush in a certain direction.
If they get too close, the wild boar will be unable to stop and will continue to charge at the people trying to intercept them, and the person with only a homemade gun will inevitably be injured by the impact.
However, if you shoot to intercept them from too far away, the wild boars will run in another direction beforehand, which is not interception but driving them away.
The real meaning of interception is to keep the wild boars within a small circle that can be shot at for a short period of time, preventing them from scattering, and then hunt them down to the required number.
If Wang Tianxin were an experienced hunter, it would certainly be better for three people to intercept from three directions.
But given his loud and boisterous manner, Wang Tianxiao couldn't believe him and didn't dare to bet on him.
Let him and Liu Yuan go together.
The three discussed their strategy and began to slowly explore their way forward.
Even Wang Tianxin was very careful and no longer acted loudly.
They were about fifty meters from the pigsty. Wang Tianxiao instructed Liu Yuan and Wang Tianxin to lie in ambush. If the wild boar came from this angle, they only needed to fire their guns one after another to make the boar run back.
The real threat still lies with Wang Tianxiao.
On the hillside, a group of wild boars were leisurely eating wild apricots or rolling around on the ground in the sun, completely unaware that danger was approaching.
Suddenly, a deafening gunshot rang out in the mountain stream.
"Bang!"
With the sound of a gunshot, a medium-sized wild boar fell to the ground.
It kicked its hooves a few times, then stopped moving.
The moment the gunshot rang out, the other pigs scattered in terror.
What was rolling on the ground immediately got up and switched to escape mode. The pig that had just taken a bite of apricot in its mouth did not hesitate at all and turned around to run away with the herd.
