Chapter 109 What should I do if I encounter a group of wild boars?
"Dad, you came just in time. We are preparing to fry pig and badger offal for dinner tonight."
Lin Heng said with a smile.
"Then I did catch up." Father Lin laughed, very happy.
With these two things, the hunting trip to the mountains is not in vain.
With the help of Father Lin, the pig and badger meat was quickly processed, smeared with heavy salt, and set up a rack next to the shelter to allow for ventilation and drying.
"I brought shredded pickled radish, garlic sprouts, green onions and chili peppers, just in time to stir-fry large intestines."
Father Lin went to take out the things from the backpack and said with a smile.
"The relationship is so good, I haven't had anything sour for several days." Lin Heng said with a smile.
Humans are the most acid-tolerant creatures in the world, so much so that they are said to be able to walk without eating acid for three days.
Lin Heng and the others really miss sour radish and the like.
The shredded sour radish was all fried. Lin Heng cut the large intestine, small intestine, and belly of the pig badger into segments, and put them into a bowl with the shredded sour radish and chili pepper.
Pork badger liver makes a stir-fried pork liver with chili peppers and garlic sprouts.
The kidneys are also fried.
Finally, one morning I ate half of the pheasant and put it in a pot to make soup. I had three dishes and one soup.
Father Lin and his eldest brother Lin Yue went to move a big stone slab to use as a table.
When the dishes were brought to the table, Lin's father and Lin Yue felt a little unreal.
"Even the Chinese New Year meal may not be as good as tonight. Three dishes and one soup, all of which are meat."
Father Lin sighed with emotion.
"Furthermore, Lin Heng's skills are extraordinary. I only discovered in the past two days that every dish he cooks is delicious." Lin Yue also said with a smile.
"Haha, I figured it out myself, so it's just about taste." Lin Heng smiled.
Cooking is just a basic skill for a person who has experienced hardships.
"Come on, I brought some syrup, let's drink some."
Father Lin took out a plastic bottle of syrup and poured it into bowls for everyone with a smile, including Lin Wei.
"Come on, drink!"
In rural areas, people don't like to say "cheers", just touch and start drinking.
After one sip, the sweetness of the syrup and the spiciness of the wine blended well. Lin Heng was not good at drinking, but he still thought it was good.
A mouthful of wine and a mouthful of meat can be considered unrestrained and very enjoyable.
Wine is something that is very artistic after just a sip. It makes you feel half drunk and half awake. At this time, you can feel the feeling of Li Bai's hundreds of drunken poems.
The whole world has become different, but Lin Heng has no cultural literacy and can only say that it is really beautiful.
There was no need to eat dinner at night. The four of us were very satisfied after finishing the dishes.
It was quite hot today, and Lin Heng was not tired. He found a big stone by the stream to lie down and play with. The stone was still a little hot because it had been exposed to the sun all day.
The sky after rain is exceptionally clear. Lying on the stone and looking at it, billions of stars countless light years away seem to be right in front of you.
To my ears, the gurgling sound of the stream passing by seemed like a brisk tune.
The eldest brother Lin Yue and his nephew were taking a bath by the stream, which was very lively. Father Lin was also soaking in the water, and would add a few words from time to time.
Except for the annoying mosquitoes, it's really a peaceful time.
"Look, there's a shooting star!"
Lin Heng pointed to the sky and said loudly, a meteor slid from the east to the west, scratching out a straight white line.
"Really, it's so beautiful!"
Lin Wei said in surprise.
Lin Yue and Father Lin also looked at the sky, a little lost in thought. People who work hard rarely look up at the stars, otherwise they will inevitably doubt the meaning of life.
But now, they all feel that the starry sky is very charming, because their lives are getting better and better, and they seem to be qualified to appreciate the scenery.
"Woof!"
The silly dog lying next to Lin Heng also looked up at the sky, curiously watching the falling star, feeling like he wanted to chase it.
Even though it was very smart, it didn't understand the meaning of the starry sky or how far away and huge the meteor was.
After eating, as there were more and more mosquitoes, I gradually lost interest. I sat up and patted the stupid dog on the head.
"Let's go to bed."
Back at the shelter, Xiong Ba wanted to go to bed, but Lin Heng pulled him down.
"It won't be cold tonight, you sleep on the ground." Lin Heng patted its head.
"Ouch! (▼ヘ▼#)"
Xiong Ba's eyes were full of resentment, and he bit Lin Heng's hand, but he didn't dare to use force, so he could only hold it in his mouth.
Yesterday when it was cold, I begged someone to go to bed, and now I'm kicking them under the bed, what a disgusting human being.
"Silly dog, you have to distinguish between a full meal and a full meal." Lin Heng glanced at it.
Xiong Ba angrily relented. After all, he had saved his stupid dog owner. It was not a dog that repaid kindness with revenge.
Fortunately, Lin Heng was interesting enough and got some thatch for it so that it would not sleep on the cold and wet ground.
The next morning, the four of them got up early.
Lin Heng glanced at the grouse first and was speechless: "Oh, you really want to die."
I don’t know why, but this guy died. He could have lived for a few more days. He wanted to take it back to his wife.
"In this case, I can only eat you."
Shaking his head, Lin Heng quickly looked at his Lin She.
"Ouch!"
The forest musk deer was eating grass happily. When it saw Lin Heng coming, it ducked into the grass to hide.
"It's good that you're not dead."
Lin Heng smiled, these are precious pimples. If you catch one more, you can start breeding them yourself.
Turning around and going back, eldest brother Lin Yue had already packed everything.
"Why don't you leave after eating?" Lin's father suggested.
"I won't have breakfast. I'll go back first. It'll be cool in the morning." Lin Yue shook his head.
"Then go ahead, brother, and be safe." Lin Heng smiled and waved.
Father Lin was worried and sent Lin Yue out.
Lin Heng and his eldest nephew made a fire, first cooked the grouse soup, and fed the offal to Xiong Ba.
Because there was sauerkraut in the things Lin's father brought, he made a sauerkraut soup in the morning that he hadn't eaten in a long time.
When Father Lin comes back, it will be ready.
After eating, Lin Heng turned over rocks and looked for earthworms.
"Lin Heng, are you going fishing?"
Father Lin asked.
"Yes, I guess there is little hope today, so I will get some earthworms and catch two rods. When the water rises, the fish recede and the shrimp recede, I think today's fishing will definitely yield a good harvest."
Lin Heng looked up at his father and said.
"Then I'll catch two earthworms too. Maybe I can catch that big fish you ran away with." Father Lin also came to help find it.
What they caught were black earthworms about the thickness of a little finger, which were larger than red earthworms and more attractive to fish.
Lin Wei also wanted to go, but he could only stay at the camp and watch Lin Shek.
"I'll let you and your grandpa go pick mushrooms this afternoon, and I'll watch them."
Lin Heng saw that he was a little depressed and comforted him with a smile.
"Okay." After hearing this, Lin Wei finally had hope.
After catching enough earthworms, the father and son set off with Xiongba. They didn't need any fishing rods. They just waited until they reached Sanchagou Canyon to chop a piece of bamboo.
"First, go take a look at the mountain ridge where I dug medicinal materials. I also set some traps there."
Father Lin said.
"Okay." Lin Heng nodded and distanced himself from his father, moving forward together.
The Hell King Diao here is also the same, almost all of them are triggered automatically.
"What a pity. A grouse was caught here, but it was eaten clean by something."
After walking some distance, Father Lin shouted from a distance.
Lin Heng took a look at it from a distance and guessed that it was most likely a weasel. Civet cats, pig badgers and wild cats might also be responsible for the crime.
"It looks like there's nothing to gain. There are four or five more in front of you. If you look at it, go fishing."
Father Lin shook his head. It seemed that luck did not belong to him.
As the two of them climbed over the ridge, they looked up and were stunned.
"Ouch!!"
I saw a little wild boar weighing more than ten kilograms being pulled up in mid-air by its hind legs.
But that's not the most important thing. The most important thing is that next to the little wild boar, a female wild boar weighing one or two hundred pounds has not left yet and is biting the rope.
Behind it, there are seven or eight small wild boars following, and two large wild boars weighing 80 to 90 pounds. This is a group.
Obviously it wasn't long after the trap was set, and the sow boar hasn't given up yet.
"Lin Heng, let's go. If he gets angry, we won't be able to run away."
Father Lin was a little scared. After the wild boars swarmed, the danger became even greater.
“Wouldn’t that mean there’s nothing gained?”
Lin Heng shook his head and looked at the wild boar on the lower right. They were now at a high position, and the wild boar was below, more than three hundred meters away.
"It's no joke to be so close. Wild boars can be very fierce. Someone's intestines will be pushed out by the wild boar, so we can't take risks."
Lin's father pulled Lin Heng to dissuade him, saying that he was extremely speechless now.
Finally, we encountered the prey, which turned out to be a group of wild boars. Without a dozen or so people, who would dare to attack them?
Lin Heng knew what his father said was right, but he didn't want to give up, so he thought of a way: "Let's do this, let the Xiong Ba scream, and the two of us will scare them with rocks.
If the wild boar is afraid and runs away, it can leave one cub behind, and maybe the bully can catch another one if he catches up.
If we don't run, then let's forget it. It's really dangerous to get too close. "
"It's okay." Father Lin thought for a while, nodded and said,
"Xiong Ba, speak up!" Lin Heng looked at Xiong Ba and picked up a piece of rotten wood.
"Woof woof woof!!!"
The tyrant rushed out and roared angrily.
"Oh oh oh!!"
"Oh oh oh!!"
Lin Heng and his father threw stones and sticks while roaring like monkeys.
The wild boars below noticed that someone was coming, and immediately panicked. The wild boar cubs were the first to scatter.
The remaining two large wild boars also stayed away. Before being forced to a dead end, without red eyes, wild boars were still very afraid of humans.
After driving for a while, the female wild boar gave up on the cub and ran away.
"Let's go. Go down and catch this wild boar cub."
Lin Heng looked happy. Maybe he could catch a few more piglets this time. After all, they were scattered in all directions.
Father Lin was also a little excited and ran down with Lin Heng.
"Ouch!!"
When the little wild boar saw the people coming, he made a frightened sound and roared crazily.
"Ouch!!"
The two father and son were not close yet, but they were still more than fifty meters away from the little wild boar. When the female wild boar in the distance heard the screams of her cub, she turned back and rushed towards the two of them.
"No, the sow is protecting her cubs!" Father Lin was shocked and picked up a long wooden stick.
"If you don't want to live, then don't live."
Lin Heng looked at the wild boar more than fifty meters away from him and directly set up his bow and arrow.
call out! !
The sharp black arrow flew out. The triangular arrow with a bloody groove reflected the cold light in the air, and the arrow penetrated into the front shoulder blade of the sow boar.
"Ouch!!"
With a scream, the female wild boar became lame on her front legs. She was in pain and ran back lamely.
Compared to the child, it still cares more about its own pig life. After all, now that the child is gone, it can be reborn, but it is really in pain and will have to lose its life if it doesn't survive.
"Want to run!"
Lin Heng sneered. If this wild boar didn't give in, he would still be afraid of him if she charged at him, but running away would be too stupid.
He took out another arrow, aimed it, and flew out.
"So fast, your fortune is good."
The arrow missed and flew more than thirty meters and was blocked by a tree trunk. One arrow hit the tree trunk.
"Son, you are so awesome." Father Lin gave a thumbs up. He was not afraid of danger and shot the front leg with an arrow. He was so handsome.
The wild boar just now was only twenty meters away from them. He was so frightened that his calves were shaking, but Lin Heng was able to hit it with one arrow despite the pressure.
"Dad, you go catch that little wild boar, and I'll chase the others. Xiongba, let's go."
Lin Heng said something and led Xiongba in the direction where the four or five little wild boars had just escaped.
As for the female wild boar, let it bleed and weaken first, and finding it now will definitely cause her to resist desperately.
"Woof!!"
Xiongba roared and followed Lin Heng Sahuan forward.
The wild boar cub has disappeared, but he knows the general direction and continues to move forward.
Lin Heng believed that these wild boar cubs would not run far.
Not long after, we came to a little wild boar that stopped and squatted in the forest.
When it saw people, it turned around and ran away, and Xiongba immediately started chasing mode.
"Ouch!!"
In less than thirty seconds, the wild boar cub was pinned down and bitten by the bully, making a pitiful cry.
"Well done."
Lin Heng came over and saw that the wild boar cub, which weighed more than ten kilograms, had been bitten and bled, and he would not die for a while.
"Let's get rid of the live ones first, and we'll eat the roasted suckling pig when we get back."
Lin Heng held him down and walked back with the back kick. When he chased after him, he didn't have anything else except the bow and arrows.
"Ouch!!"
The little wild boar was being carried, still bleeding, and roared miserably.
Lin Heng didn't care about him. He howled for a while and would eventually stop.
By the time we got back to where we were hunting the wild boar, the little cub could no longer scream.
"You really caught one and brought it back." Father Lin was a little surprised. He himself had already tied the wild boar cub hung up by the King of Hell and threw it into the basket.
"Of course, after all, the little wild boar can't run very far."
Lin Heng smiled and held down the little wild boar. Father Lin tied a rope and threw it in with the other one.
"What do you think we should do with these wild boar cubs? Eat them or keep them?" Father Lin hesitated as he looked at the two wild boar cubs in his basket.
"Of course you kill them and eat them. If you raise pigs, you must raise domestic pigs."
Lin Heng said of course that compared to domestic pigs that have been domesticated and cultivated for thousands of years, wild boars are much different.
"Indeed, raising wild boars seems to be a dead end. We can see if anyone buys them or sell them.
And I heard that the meat produced by crossing domestic pigs and wild boars tastes better. "
Father Lin added that as long as he could sell it for money, he didn't want to eat it.
"That's fine, it's up to you. Let's put the piggy back down first, and then we can track the sow boar."
Lin Heng looked at his father and said.
Father Lin waved his hand: "No, they are less than forty pounds. I can't carry them on my back. You lead Xiongba in front and chase them while I watch from behind."
He was afraid that if time passed and the sow boar got lost, it would be a huge loss.
"Then it's better to find a hole to put the piggy in and pick it up when you get back. There's no one on the mountain anyway." Lin Heng suggested.
"That's okay too."
Father Lin thinks this is a good idea.
They found a small cave nearby, put Piggy in with a basket on his back, and then crushed him to death with rocks so that he could not escape.
After checking twice and finding no problem, the two returned to the original place.
"Xiong Ba, it's up to you." Lin Heng smiled and touched Xiong Ba's head.
"Ouch!"
Xiong Ba walked forward quickly smelling the real smell of blood.
The blood was so obvious that you didn't even need to look at it with your nose.
"Son, that female wild boar was so close just now, are you really not afraid at all?"
While walking, father and son started chatting.
Hearing this, Lin Heng smiled: "Compared to the male wild boar last time, it is much smaller. The main reason is that I am mentally prepared."
The last time he fought the big wild boar, he had no experience. After going back and thinking about it, Lin Heng already knew how to deal with the wild boar.
If an arrow cannot penetrate the neck or internal organs to kill it, then hit the shoulder blade of the front leg to kill it. If one front leg is disabled, its ability to attack or escape will be greatly reduced.
Lin Heng told this to Father Lin, who couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "Your summary is so accurate, you are a qualified hunter."
There was a look of relief on his face, his son was indeed different from before.
Continuing forward, we soon climbed over a mountain.
"This wild boar is really good at running away."
Lin Heng was speechless. They had all followed the mountain, but there was still no trace of it.
"Maybe he was frightened and ran down the ditch. If there is water, it will be difficult to track him."
Father Lin looked in the direction ahead with some worry.
The two continued to move forward, and when they reached the mountainside, a large pool of blood suddenly appeared in front of them.
"There's more blood. The wild boar should be right in front. I guess it's dying. No matter how much blood there is, it won't be enough."
Lin Heng showed a delighted smile and immediately quickened his pace.
Father Lin also quickened his pace, and the two of them walked all the way to the valley. There is no water flowing here, only some rainwater accumulated from the rain, giving it a hazy color.
"Lin Heng, look."
Father Lin pointed downstream. A black-haired wild boar was swaying and its shoulder blades were bleeding. It was obviously dying.
Lin Heng's arrow was too fierce, the front shoulder blade, it would limp and pull the wound to bleed.
"Xiongba, be quiet, leave it to me."
Lin Heng touched Xiongba who was eager to try, took the bow and arrow and approached quietly.
At first he was a little worried about encountering a desperate resistance, but soon he became bolder. The female wild boar was exhausted, and her consciousness was blurred due to excessive blood loss.
It had reached the end of the road.
Lin Heng looked at it, raised his hand and shot an arrow, hitting its neck. Blood spurted, and with a bang, the female wild boar fell to the ground, and there was no possibility of getting up again.
"I still need to summarize more, I didn't do well enough this time."
Lin Heng said secretly in his heart, he could actually sneak up and kill one with one arrow, as long as he shot the internal organs, such a thick arrow, the wild boar would die.
But he was afraid, because the big wild boar last time was too scary, and the scene of the collision was still vivid in his mind.
He thought all wild boars would be so ferocious, and was afraid that if he shot one, a group of them would rush over and bite him, so he took his father's advice.
But now it seems that most of them are still afraid of people, unless they are forced into a corner or are really ferocious by nature.
"It's rich, it's rich, this time we've made a fortune."
Lin's father came over, his voice loud and high, full of joy.
"Can you give me some?"
Lin Heng was about to speak when a man came down the hillside in the distance, holding a hunting rifle and looking at the father and son.
