"Yueyue, where have you been? We've been looking for you for a long time." Not long after leaving the cemetery, Li Xiyue met Huang Xinrui and Wang Jiaxing who came to look for her.
Li Xiyue showed them her backpack and said, "I picked some bitter vegetarian vegetables not far ahead."
"Wang Zhiqing and I picked half a basket of ferns and mushrooms. We also found a wild bamboo forest over there and picked some bamboo shoots."
Huang Xinrui whispered in her ear, "We also found a nest of pheasants, but the pheasants ran away and we didn't catch them, but we did pick up seven or eight pheasant eggs."
Li Xiyue glanced at her full backpack and gave a thumbs up, "Not bad, not bad."
She should be happy now that she has returned with a full load.
"Li Zhiqing, you spent so long picking only some bitter vegetarian vegetables?" Wang Jiaxing asked.
Li Xiyue nodded guiltily. She had also found a turtle shell and kept it for herself.
"The bitter vegetarian dishes are also very good." Huang Xinrui didn't care at all that Li Xiyue picked a small amount. After all, they picked a lot, enough to eat. She fanned herself with her hands and said, "It's so hot and stuffy, let's go down the mountain."
Li Xiyue saw that her face was flushed with heat and Wang Jiaxing was also sweating profusely. She was fine and didn't feel too hot, but she still walked down the mountain with the two of them.
Not far away, I met Xu Dashan, "Li Zhiqing, don't go over there yet. There's a big guy over there. You're about to fall into a trap."
"Uncle Dashan, are you going hunting in the mountains today?" Li Xiyue remembered that he said he would not hunt anymore.
Xu Dashan shook his head. "A villager found it. They were afraid of hurting anyone, so the captain asked me to come up and take a look."
He was carrying a hunting rifle and was staring at a trap not far from the bushes.
Huang Xinrui walked over and touched the wooden bag on his back, "Wow, it's a real wooden bag."
"What's so special about a real wooden gun?" Wang Jiaxing said with a smile, "There are quite a few militiamen in our team, and every militiaman has one at home."
Li Xiyue had heard that almost everyone was a soldier in this era, but she had never seen militia training in such a long time. She couldn't help but ask curiously, "Who are the militiamen in our village?"
"Uncle Dashan is one of them." Wang Jiaxing said with a smile looking at Xu Dashan.
Xu Dashan also smiled. "There are also the team leader and Xiangyang. He used to be his uncle, and he took over after his uncle got into trouble. Each squad in our team has several militiamen, and our Chunfeng Commune has a militia company."
"Wow, aren't we very safe in the village?" Huang Xinrui exclaimed.
Xu Dashan took off the wooden cannon and said seriously, "Anyway, if the bad guys dare to come here, they will never come back!"
Li Xiyue instantly felt safe.
"Here they come." Xu Dashan heard the noise and asked everyone to be quiet.
Li Xiyue and others followed him, crouching down and looking into the jungle. They saw a wild boar with a pitch-black body coming out. Its long fangs were terrifying to see.
Huang Xinrui took a few steps back in fear.
Wang Jiaxing stood in front of her and signaled her not to be afraid.
"I put some bait in the trap." Xu Dashan said, if it is extremely hungry, it will definitely jump in to eat, and once it goes in, it will have no chance of getting out.
But the wild boar was very cautious and kept circling around the trap, refusing to go in.
Xu Dashan was getting impatient and put Mucang on his back, "I'll lure it into the trap."
"Uncle Dashan, this is too dangerous." Li Xiyue thought that it would be better to just give it a wooden box.
"The distance is a bit far, and I'm afraid that if I miss, it will be startled and hurt people." Xu Dashan explained that there are many people on the mountain, and it would be bad if he rushed out and hurt someone.
Seeing Li Xiyue's worried face, he comforted her, "Good hunters often appear as prey. Don't worry, I've been hunting for so many years and I've never failed."
Seeing that he was determined to go, Li Xiyue thought for a moment and took out a bottle of powder from her pocket and handed it to him. "This is an anesthetic made from Datura pollen. If it rushes towards you later, sprinkle the powder on it to knock it out first."
"Okay." Xu Dashan took it and walked towards the wild boar.
When the wild boar saw someone coming, it immediately retreated cautiously. Xu Dashan picked up a stone and threw it at the wild boar. The wild boar felt that its dignity was challenged and rushed towards Xu Dashan angrily.
Seeing this, Xu Dashan hurriedly ran towards the trap. The wild boar chased him wildly. He turned back and sprinkled medicine powder. The wild boar sneezed, spraying most of the medicine powder out. It then went crazy and started to bite around.
"Oh no, the medicine is not effective enough to knock it out, but it has hallucinations! Get out of the way!" Li Xiyue thought to herself that she had miscalculated. Seeing the wild boar rushing towards them, she asked Wang Jiaxing to take Huang Xinrui away first.
Wang Jiaxing grabbed Huang Xinrui and ran, covering two miles in an instant.
Li Xiyue saw that the people disappeared in the blink of an eye, and thought to herself that they ran really fast. But it was just right that they left, so she could take action.
The wild boar rushed towards it, and Li Xiyue was already holding a dagger with a sleeping pill coated on it.
When the wild boar came close, she dodged easily, then quickly moved forward, jumped up, and stabbed the wild boar with a dagger.
"Ahhhhhhh..." The wild boar was stabbed in the back and screamed in pain.
However, the wild boar weighed more than 400 pounds, and the knife did not hit its vital parts at all. It rushed towards Li Xiyue again.
"Bang!" There was a sound of a wooden warehouse.
The wild boar was hit and fell to the ground.
Xu Dashan ran over and asked with concern, "Li Zhiqing, are you okay?"
Li Xiyue shook his head and was about to praise him for his accurate technique when he saw the fallen wild boar get up again and rush down the mountain in panic.
"Chase!" Li Xiyue dropped a word and quickly chased after him.
Just as Xu Dashan reacted, the person had already rushed out and disappeared in the blink of an eye. He sighed inwardly, young people just run fast.
No matter how fast Li Xiyue was, she couldn't outrun the four-legged wild boar. She said to Xiaobai who was catching up with her, "Take a shortcut and block it."
Xiaobai immediately changed direction and ran to another place.
After a while, the wild boar was indeed blocked by Xiaobai. Li Xiyue seized the opportunity and killed it with one knife. Unfortunately, she didn't have time to dodge when the blood splattered, and she was covered in blood.
When Xu Dashan caught up with the wooden warehouse, he saw this scene and was so frightened that he almost lost his soul. "Li Zhiqing, are you okay?"
He was really useless. He couldn't even subdue a wild boar with a wooden gun, and he even implicated his benefactor.
"Yueyue!" Huang Xinrui, who had returned with a group of people to help, was also frightened when she saw Li Xiyue's appearance. "Where are you hurt? Don't scare me!"
Xu Guoqiang, Xu Xiangyang and others also rushed over and surrounded Li Xiyue in three layers.
Li Xiyue took a moment to catch her breath. This misunderstanding had occurred, and she hurriedly explained, "I'm not injured. There's wild boar blood on me."
"You scared me to death!" Huang Xinrui hugged her and burst into tears, "I thought something happened to you!"
She was just running for herself and left Yueyue behind. If anything really happened to Yueyue, she would never forgive herself.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, as if everything was fine.
They looked at the wild boar weighing more than 400 pounds that lay dead on the ground, and then looked at the slender and beautiful girl covered in blood. They could hardly believe that she was the one who killed the wild boar.
