The swirling snowflakes caused several people to squint and quickly back away.
The militiamen, ignoring the snowflakes covering their faces and heads, quickly drew their weapons and began to fight back.
The area was open and there were no villagers or houses around, so they could act more freely than before. The three of them were surrounding a wild boar, and the pressure wasn't too great for the time being.
There's still time to complain.
"Is this wild boar some kind of spirit? It even knows how to ambush people?"
Before it even hit the ground, the wild boar had its throat slit with a single, simple cut. After landing unwillingly, it was struck in the back and died instantly.
Then she turned around and faced the fattest boar that had just landed on her left and pounced on her. It seemed to be the biggest boar on the scene. There wasn't enough space to execute a one-hit kill, but she was simple and unconventional. As the boar's pungent breath got closer, she simply raised her foot and kicked it out. The huge body flew lightly five or six meters away.
He landed heavily on the ground, the stars still fading before his eyes, when the large sword hanging above his head fell down. To be honest, he felt quite wronged; he had come down the mountain to find food, but hadn't found a single grain.
When it encountered humans, it didn't even get close enough to touch them; it just showed its face, and good heavens, it was instantly killed.
How decisive and efficient!
The first battle was swift, accurate, and ruthless, allowing Lin Dongfang and his team to fight freely and enjoy themselves much more.
After a few wild boars went offline, the remaining ones were provoked into even greater rage, pawing at the snow as they charged forward.
The wild boar was extremely hungry, so it had a lot of initial energy, but it started to lose strength later on.
The initial victory was a great success, and the actions taken by Jian Dan were very encouraging. This made the group even more determined to fight. By the time the village militia members who were conducting the search came looking for them, the operation was almost over.
Several people ran over carrying sticks and other implements, just in time to see Jian Dan leap up on her toes, raise her hand, and aim her machete at the back of the wild boar's neck. By the time the wild boar realized something was wrong and tried to back down, it was already too late.
The machete cut deep enough to penetrate to the bone, and the wild boar let out a howl. Its hooves frantically pawed and circled on the snow, and two minutes later, it collapsed heavily to the ground.
Old Han and the others also finished their fight and put away their weapons.
"That feels great, fucking great!"
"How many years has it been since we've had this much freedom and unrestrained action?"
"My God, is this another group of wild boars coming down the mountain?"
The militiamen who joined the attack wore smug expressions.
"You're wrong. See those snowdrifts over there?"
All these things are hidden inside. Look how mysterious it is!
"If we hadn't kept an eye on them and they'd entered the village, wouldn't it have been ruined?"
The militiamen from the village immediately broke out in a cold sweat and gave them a thumbs-up.
"You guys are amazing! You've improved!"
Old Han seemed quite pleased with himself.
"Brothers, check carefully, make sure no one escapes."
"Don't worry, Brother Han, we checked each house one by one. The village is safe now. How are you guys doing?"
Are any injured?
Old Han walked around in the crowd.
"It's nothing, just superficial injuries, it'll be fine in two days."
The village was indeed out of danger, and Liu Weimin hurriedly ran over with his men, his forehead steaming and covered in sweat. He didn't even bother to wipe it off.
"So what? The wild boar ran away, so what? At worst, we'll start taking turns patrolling. Has anyone been injured?"
The militiamen made way for Liu Weimin so he could see the meat that had just been gathered together.
Sure enough, Liu Weimin paused as soon as he saw it. To be honest, he had seen this scene a few times before, and it seemed that every time it was related to simplicity.
I looked up and realized, oh right, Jian Dan was there too.
His mind was at ease.
As Lao Han excitedly and animatedly recounted the harrowing experience, Liu Weimin mimicked the twitching expressions on his face. Only after seeing that a few people had indeed suffered minor injuries did he finally feel relieved.
Then, finally looking at the pile of meat on the ground, his expression quickly brightened.
"Alright, go find some people to carry all the pigs to the village office. We'll slaughter them and have meat soon. Today's heroes will be rewarded according to their contributions."
A cheer erupted from the crowd, and no one was tired anymore. Some people agreed and ran back to call for help, while the others reached out to lift the meat. Their good mood was clearly evident in their words.
"Haha, we're going to have another good year."
"Yeah, isn't that right?"
The few pounds of pork we were allocated back then were all turned into salted pork by my mother, or frozen. She wouldn't let me eat my fill, no matter what. Oh dear, every single day, it made me so hungry.
"Haha, you little rascal, all you can do with this mouth is talk and eat."
Don't worry, you helped out this time, so your auntie will definitely reward you.
Jian Dan was about to reach out when the male educated youth stopped her.
"You don't need to. Go back and wash up, then come over and eat meat in a bit."
Those who know her well know that she is simple, hates trouble, and loves cleanliness. She can tolerate getting mud on herself while working, but she can't stand things like bloodstains that jump on her body.
Liu Weimin also waved over, grinning from ear to ear, his smile as wide as a chrysanthemum.
"Yes, yes, Xiao Jian, and all of you, you're all heroes today. You're all exhausted. Go back and rest. I'll have the kids call you over to share the meat later."
Xiao Jian, remember to bring your two younger brothers too!
After saying that, he followed the group carrying the wild boar back to the village with light steps.
The remaining few looked at each other, unsure what to do. Gu Jianjun and Ling Weidong went back to the educated youth compound, while Lin Dongfang wanted to go back with Jian Dan to pick up his wife and children.
“The village chief has spoken, so let’s not rush. The smell of blood on us is really strong. Let’s change our clothes and go over later.”
In the simple courtyard, Cheng Rui and Cheng An clung tightly to the wall, their faces flushing red and pale by turns. Cheng Rui was in charge of the live broadcast, while Mingzhu and Huizhou listened to the scene from behind, their hearts also pounding with excitement.
He breathed a sigh of relief only when he saw the two children excitedly get down and go to open the gate.
Not far away, at the cowshed, the gate to the small courtyard was open and closed, and laughter could be heard coming from inside. The person who had been staring at the corner for a long time finally turned around and silently went back into the house.
"Sis, you're so cool, hey, haha!"
In just a couple of moves, the wild boar was knocked down.
Cheng An was similarly excited, his face flushed red, and he nodded along with whatever his brother said.
Then it suddenly occurred to him that they had eaten bits and pieces of food during their meal, and he couldn't help but ask,
"We're having a pork stew later, so will we still eat? There's braised meat in the pot, and I've heated up some steamed buns."
With a simple wave of the hand,
"So what? Eat if you want. It's all going into your own stomach anyway, so there's no waste."
"Do you want to eat the pork stew at the village office, or bring it back to eat?"
It's lively outside, like it's Chinese New Year, but it's really cold outside.
Simple herself didn't really want to freeze outside in temperatures below -20 degrees Celsius.
But children's thoughts are not necessarily the same as adults'. They also need friends and partners, and we don't want to interfere too much.
