Traveling through ancient times

A group of people woke up one after another to the sound of birds singing in the forest, had breakfast in a busy atmosphere, and started moving forward!

Gu Dalian and Gu Xiaolian are still at the end, continuing their harvesting business!

After walking for more than an hour, there was a commotion ahead, as if there was some trouble!

The leader, Gu Wenzhi, raised his hand high, signaling everyone to stop! Everyone stopped tacitly without making a sound, and even the children stopped playing!

There was a rustling sound not far away, and the dense wormwood grass was shaking forward from time to time! I heard the grunt of a wild boar!

Everyone's heart was in their throat, and Old Man Ma whispered:

"Women and children should slowly retreat with us, and the men who can hunt should form a formation and deal with the wild boar!"

Gu Wenzhi and Liu Li each led a team of Ma family young men to move forward slowly! Then they divided into two groups to encircle them!

Ma Xiaolian methodically used gestures to direct everyone's positions one by one, and it was immediately apparent that:

The Ma family members were well-trained, each holding a weapon. The weapons were not the farm tools used by farmers, but daggers, broadswords, spears, bows and crossbows. Each of them had a solemn and murderous aura, faintly releasing murderous intent!

Here, Old Man Ma led everyone to quietly retreat a distance along the original path, and signaled everyone to hide in places with dense rocks and trees!

Gu Dalian's adventurous heart became restless, and he was extremely anxious. He was also afraid that he would not be able to take care of Gu Xiaolian if he left. The two of them pricked up their ears to not miss any sound ahead!

The people who were concentrating on dealing with the wild boar had no time to satisfy Gu Dalian's gossip!

This time we encountered a family of wild boars. There were two big wild boars that were fat and strong. Each of them looked to weigh at least four or five hundred kilograms, and seemed to be bigger than domestic old oxen. Behind the big wild boars were four or five smaller wild boars, each weighing only two or three hundred kilograms!

Six or seven wild boar kings were patrolling the mountains, moving forward while nudging left and right with their noses.

Two of the bigger ones would turn around and hum from time to time, and the others behind them would also look up and respond.

Every time they passed a field, there were wild seedlings and saplings overwhelming the field. They were much more aggressive than the wild boars in the mountains near ordinary villages!

Even Liu Li and Gu Wenzhi, who had gone hunting before, had never seen such a scene!

Wild boars have thick fur that is difficult to penetrate, and they have violent tempers. If six or seven of them come at you at once, the impact can be quite strong, and if you’re not careful you’ll either be killed or seriously injured.

What's more, there are a group of elderly, weak, women and children behind them, which will lead to tragedy if they are not careful!

The men who were in their positions followed the instructions. Several of them raised their arrows and aimed at the eyes of the two wild boars. The wild boars were seriously injured and rushed forward howling.

Two nephews of the Ma family ran in front of the wild boar and shot another arrow at it. The already injured wild boar suddenly became furious and rushed forward like arrows!

The five wild boars behind him also started to flee, and many men began to shout. Wild boars were afraid of noise, and when they heard the sound, they quickly fled to the side that the men had specially made room for!

However, the two injured wild boars were not so easy to deal with. The two men in front were good at martial arts. They ran and dodged at the same time. Several other men also chased the wild boars closely and did not fall behind!

The two wild boars each had an arrow stuck in their eyes, and the uninjured eye was as red as blood. Their enraged bodies rushed forward and chased the two people who attacked them. Trees as thick as thighs were knocked down by the arrows. For a moment, humans and animals became inseparable!

The two men following closely behind, one holding a big knife and the other holding a big axe, jumped up and chopped down at the wild boar, one chopped at the hind legs and the other chopped at the neck!

The two wild boars' blood gushed out, and they became even more furious. They turned around and chased the two people who had hacked them!

Two men leaped forward, and two more men followed from the side, holding big knives, and each swung at the front legs of a wild boar!

The wild boar's front leg was injured and its speed slowed down, and the men who surrounded it continued to kill it.

Finally, the two wild boars gradually gave up struggling and stopped howling, and died with hatred!

This thrilling fight, which lasted only a few words, lasted for two hours. It was really thrilling!

Although Liu Li shot a sword at the beginning, he failed to cause any damage to the wild boar, and could not catch up with it. He could only shout loudly with the people who stayed behind to scare the rest of the wild boars!

Gu Wenzhi, however, immediately followed one of the wild boars, and he was the one who rushed over to chop off its front legs!

Early in the morning, Gu Dalian gave the big knife she saw in the big box to Gu Wenzhi for self-defense. Gu Wenzhi's original bow and arrow could only shoot small animals. If he encountered a hungry wolf or tiger, it would be no match at all!

The men quickly carried the two big wild boars back and told the women to quickly light a fire and boil water, and then everyone started to deal with it.

The peeled wild boar skin and internal organs were buried in a pit, and the bloodstains along the way were treated with medicinal powder to completely cover up the bloody smell. The two big wild boars were chopped into large pieces and distributed to the women to deal with!

In addition to the ones used for cooking, there were still about 300 kilograms left, and everyone pickled them with salt so they wouldn't easily go smelly!

Find some big leaves and pack them up evenly. Give them to men 6 pounds, women 5 pounds, and children 3 pounds! Pack them up for each family!

This time, we had a good meal, rested for a while, and continued on our way with our backpacks full of burdens! We were afraid that the smell of blood nearby would attract other wild animals!

The crowd carried the elderly and children and staggered along the way.

The ones who suffer the most are children like Gu Bufan, who are not as strong as women in terms of leg strength, and not as strong as men in terms of physical strength.

The soles of his feet were worn out along the way, and he kept grumbling and refusing to move for several times. When he could no longer walk, Gu San could only hold back his anger and carry himself for a while!

Gu Shaoqi quietly broke away from Gu Si and his wife, grabbed his grandmother's hand, and said in a sweet and tender voice:

"Grandma, are you tired? You won't be tired if your grandson holds your hand!"

Old Mrs. Zhou was so happy that her teeth were showing and her eyes were not visible. She said:

"Your dear grandson is so filial. You are not tired. Your dear grandson is still young. You must not let him get tired!"

He looked up and ordered Gu Da: "Go and ask that bastard Wen Zhi to come over and carry my darling grandson!"

Gu Da looked embarrassed, the people had already been arranged, and besides, Gu Wenzhi was in the front and it was very dangerous, so how could he let the child take the risk!

After hearing the situation, Mrs. Zhou thought for a moment and went to call Daqiang over. This child is strong and sturdy. Let him carry my darling grandson on his back!"

Gu Shaoqi held Mrs. Zhou's hand and walked slowly forward, listening with his ears perked up without saying a word!

Liu Daqiang came over without saying much, carried his cousin on his back and followed the crowd!

Along the way, the Gu family has been in constant turmoil and accidents, while the Ma family has always been calm, which truly proves what it means to "talk less and do more!" Gu Dalian admires them very much!

Gu Wenzhi, who was leading the way, felt that the road seemed to be much easier to walk on. He slowly reacted and said to Ma Xiaolian:

"Uncle Ma, how about we take a break? Let's go ahead and explore the road?"

"Okay! Everyone stop. Ma Sanbao, follow me and Wenzhi to explore the way ahead!"

Everyone here could finally sit down and take a breath, and after walking for a quarter of an hour, Gu Wenzhi and the other two were dumbfounded by the scene in front of them!

I saw a few backpacks thrown around in a mess in front of me, with clothes or bedding scattered out of the baskets.

Not far away there was a corpse that had been torn into pieces by wild beasts and it was impossible to tell whether it was a male or a female. The blood had turned brown and it looked like it had been two days old.

Everyone felt a chill in their hearts. There must be refugees crossing the mountains ahead of them, and they must have been attacked by wild beasts!

After exploring a hundred meters further, they suddenly saw several mutilated heads that were bitten beyond recognition! It was so tragic!
