Five sharp blades were raised high together, then fell rapidly, piercing the necks of the wild boars before they could react.
The hoe and shovel were very powerful, digging deep into the wild boar's neck, causing blood to gush out, and the three wild boars squealed in pain.
The wooden "spear" lacked sufficient damaging and penetrating power. It only pierced part of the thick fur of a wild boar, causing the boar to squeal in alarm and run away in fear.
There was also a wild boar that happened to move its neck at that moment, so it wasn't stabbed. It immediately noticed its companion's predicament, reacted first, and ran away.
When animals are panicked, they will instinctively choose the safest route, so the wild boar ran straight for the road closest to its den without any hesitation.
The wild boar with the wood stuck in its neck could still move and also ran away.
Two wild boars, completely unsuspecting, stepped onto the seemingly ordinary patch of grass, then collapsed, lost their balance, and fell into the trap.
Below were also sharp wooden stakes that pierced directly through the wild boars' bellies. The two wild boars cried out in alarm and quickly bled to death.
After a moment, the wailing gradually subsided.
The people in the tree were dumbfounded as they watched what was happening below.
Yin Lan hadn't expected things to go so smoothly; the methods she'd learned from watching the news were truly effective.
The village head was overjoyed.
The four men were so happy that their mouths were practically agape.
They jumped down. The wild boar was still breathing, but it was no longer a threat.
There were three on the ground and two in the trap; they had actually hunted down a total of five wild boars!
Normally, hunting this many animals would require at least twenty people, and some would get injured. But they were just one person, with only five people actually doing the work. They didn't even exert much effort, and they were completely safe. They killed five animals!
Moreover, this method will also allow you to successfully kill wild boars in the future!
"You have a leap wife, you're amazing!"
"The wild boar actually ran into the trap, hahaha, how did you even think of that, my dear wife?"
Although they were the ones who put in the effort, they knew that today's success was entirely due to Yin Lan.
They used to look down on her and even doubt her. Thinking about it now, I feel incredibly ashamed.
"I used to think Uncle Village Head was senile for listening to you, but now I realize I'm the senile one," a man said apologetically to Yin Lan.
The village head coughed and said, "Who's getting senile?"
The man chuckled foolishly.
Yin Lan explained, "We were lucky today. The wild boar will most likely escape over there, but it's not certain. Next time, things might not be so perfect."
"That's still amazing. Even though two of them escaped, we killed three of them without much effort. If word got out, probably no one would believe it. You Run's wife, I'm sorry, I misjudged you before."
Yin Lan waved her hand; she truly didn't mind.
Zhao Dashan spoke up, "You Run's wife has always been a good person. You'll know once you get to know her better."
Others knew that the Zhao family and the Yin family were close and had helped her a lot. They all regretted listening to those people in the village and believing that she was no good. They would have been very willing to befriend such people, especially since her husband was Chen Yourun.
"Father, I'm sorry." The only one who didn't kill the wild boar was the village head's second son.
The village head glanced at his son, whose expression was indeed not good.
Yin Lan comforted him, "It was a matter of timing on my part. After all, there were five of them, and it was impossible for every one of them to be the perfect target at that moment. Getting four hits was actually quite good. And considering your position and the boars' condition, it was already very impressive that you managed to almost hit them."
The village head's son, Chen XX, glanced gratefully at Yin Lan.
The village head's complexion improved somewhat.
The other men also offered their comfort to Chen xx.
Everyone was incredibly excited; wild boars were a treasure trove, every part of them was valuable.
Although the village chief's son also joined the pig-slaughtering team, he didn't shy away from the situation. Since they were risking their lives to go into the mountains, they should naturally get the biggest share. He promised on the spot, "Whoever puts in the effort will get the most."
Others cannot be left out either, otherwise, if there are too many dissatisfied people, the village will easily fall apart.
The men were all overjoyed.
The mountains were not entirely safe yet, and now there was the smell of blood again, so after exchanging a few words, the four men, two carrying a wild boar, hurried down the mountain.
At the foot of the mountain.
Most of the villagers have already gone home. After all, they still have things to do at home, the damaged land needs to be repaired, and their children can't be left unattended.
As darkness fell, it even started to snow lightly, and the wind felt like knives cutting into my face.
So every household closed their doors.
But in my heart, I was still thinking about the group that was going up the mountain.
"A wild boar? It's so late, could something have happened? What if we encountered a wild boar halfway there, and everyone...?"
It's all Yin Lan's fault. They could have just taken precautions in the village, why did she have to go up the mountain to die?
If even the village head is gone, then what will become of Iron Sword Village...?
Just as everyone was lost in thought, a joyful shout came from outside the village, "They're back! They're back!"
Ignoring the bitter cold, the villagers immediately opened the gate and rushed out.
What they saw next left them speechless and frozen in disbelief. Only three people had returned, and they were covered in blood.
Everyone else is gone? The village head and that Lady Yin are both gone?
Some people began to cry out, "My son, my son! We told you not to go, but you wouldn't listen..."
The man who had come down from the building froze on his joyful face, then cried out, "Aunt Chen, Aunt Chen, stop yelling, your stick is fine."
What?
Everyone was puzzled.
Upon noticing the bloodstains on his body and everyone's reactions, the man seemed to realize something and explained with a laugh, "Um... everyone might have misunderstood. It's okay, none of us are hurt, we're all fine."
“Look everyone,” he put the wild boar on the ground, “these are the wild boars we killed and brought back. We killed five in total, and they’re all behind us. None of them were injured!”
What?
The villagers slowly recovered from their grief.
No one was hurt?
Five wild boars were killed?
Just ten people?
Why are they so disbelieving?
But suddenly a cry of surprise came from afar. Everyone turned around and saw that it was the remaining ten people who had not returned. The eight men in front were walking tall and proud, with two men carrying a wild boar. The village head and Madam Yin behind them were also fine and had happy faces.
