A few minutes later, a scream rang out in the village.
"ah!
Wild boar! There's a wild boar!
Cheng Chao, who had just sat down, immediately jumped up as if he had a spring in his body. Jian Dan's expression also changed. She grabbed her cotton-padded coat and followed closely behind, only giving one instruction.
"You two lock the door and guard the house. Don't come out."
Before he finished speaking, he had already followed Cheng Chao over the door and was running towards the village.
Cheng Rui quickly followed, but could only see the figure getting smaller and smaller.
Cheng Rui pursed his lips.
"Xiao An, do you think my older brother and sister are alright?"
Cheng An was also worried, but much calmer than Cheng Rui.
"It's alright, it'll definitely be alright. Just keep an eye on the house and don't cause them any trouble."
"Okay, let's go inside and cook. My brother probably hasn't eaten yet. He'll eat when he gets back."
Xiao An, you should come inside quickly, don't get cold.
Despite saying that, the two brothers still clung tightly to the gate, straining to look towards the village.
There were militiamen patrolling the village entrance, but after the incident, they were all transferred inside to help. Who would have thought that such a lapse in attention would allow the wild boar to pass through unimpeded and head straight for the main camp?
At this moment, the elderly, the weak, and the sick are all at the village office, and the housewives of each family are also at the village office and the educated youth compound, tidying up their temporary residences. Outside, apart from the men from each family working in the ruins, there are only children running back and forth on the road.
The children were the first to notice when the wild boar entered the village.
However, being young and not having witnessed a wild boar eating a person firsthand, he still retained most of his cleverness. After being startled by the enormous creature from afar, he turned and ran back, shouting as he ran.
Those who were working all had tools in their hands, such as hoes and shovels, so it wouldn't seem too abrupt. Carrying their tools, some people went forward to stop the wild boars, while others hurriedly pulled their children back, trying to keep the wild boars out.
Soon, the villagers and the wild boars were fighting. The hoes and shovels were not sharp and could not cause much harm to the wild boars. Sometimes they were like tickling them, but they did manage to provoke the wild boars.
Soon, people were injured, and the ground was stained red in patches.
The screams and cries of the villagers, the cries of children, and the roars of the wild boar mingled together. Lin Dongfang and Ling Weidong rushed over at the sound, but only one of them had time to act, while the other pulled Lin Jianshe out of the boar's mouth.
"Brother Jianshe, how are you? Can you walk?"
Liu Jianshe clutched his thigh, pierced by the fangs. If it weren't for his cotton-padded trousers, the flesh on his thigh would probably be gone. His face was deathly pale.
"It's alright, I won't die. You guys, be careful."
There was no time to say anything more, so I quickly dodged and faced the wild boar in front of me.
When Cheng Chao, with his long legs, arrived, everything was already in chaos.
Many villagers were standing by the roadside in the direction of the village office. Several of them had torn clothes, messy hair, and their arms and legs were covered in glaring red stains. They stood crookedly, holding hoes or stones, ready to take action at any moment.
"Ah! Watch out behind you!"
"Erwazi!"
Cheng Chao's eyes sharpened, and the dagger in his hand flew out. He also sprang up, his long leg slamming into the wild boar's head. Lin Dongfang, slightly disheveled, was carrying a child and staggered back a few steps, panting. He had almost had his arm pierced by the wild boar.
"Brother Chao, you've come just in time,"
Cheng Chao gave him a disdainful look.
"Get your act together! Give me the tools!"
Lin Dongfang casually picked up the wood-chopping knife beside him and threw it in that direction.
"then!"
Cheng Chao kicked the charging wild boar aside, leaped up to catch the wood-chopping knife, turned around, and looked down to see the wild boar, which had returned, had its throat slit.
Lin Dongfang had just stood up, leaning on the ground for support, when he saw this, his eyes lit up with excitement.
"Brother Chao, you're so handsome."
The villagers nearby were even more dumbfounded.
"This is just as good as Xiao Jian, the educated youth."
Just as Cheng Chao had steadied himself, Jian Dan arrived. Without any tools, he punched the wild boar that was swaying at the back, instantly blowing its head off.
This is the dumbest way. If you throw this punch, your hands and half your body will be covered in blood and brain matter, which is unavoidable.
Simple's brows remained furrowed.
"What are we waiting for? How many are left? Let's finish this quickly!"
Cheng Chao, Jian Dan, Lin Dongfang, and Ling Weidong worked together, and with the help of the surrounding militia and villagers, they quickly eliminated the remaining wild boars.
The village suffered heavy losses. The snow on the road in front of the village office was soaked with bright red blood, patchy and uneven, with some parts already showing above the ground.
Liu Weimin was furious. The snow disaster hadn't been dealt with yet, and now wild boars were appearing. Wasn't this going to drive him to his death? He was still recovering from the shock. What if...?
Ugh, ptooey, ptooey! If what do you mean by "if"? We should be thankful that no one died!
"Go quickly and have a few people check on them. Carry the injured inside. Old Chen, where's Old Chen?"
He paused for a moment, glanced at Jian Dan, and hesitated.
He knew something about the man in the cowshed; with injuries like that, the bone was sticking out. Old Chen's skills were only good for treating minor ailments like headaches and fevers; this was probably beyond his capabilities.
Upon hearing this, Jian Dan and the others also thought of the cowshed and couldn't help but look up at the men. Lin Dongfang was a shrewd one, after all, his father-in-law was there.
"I went to check, everything's fine."
Cheng Chao also said,
"I arrived first, my uncle and his men followed behind, they will check."
