Siheyuan: I Raised Ten Thousand Wild Boars

"Hey, do you think there are any jackals, tigers and leopards in this mountain?" Han Wenlong asked curiously as he stuck two steamed buns on a branch and roasted them over a fire nearby.

"Yes, there are a lot of black spots, jackals, tigers and leopards, but we have guns and we are not afraid of these things as long as the number is not large. I heard that the older generation said that there are black tigers here, but I have never seen them!" Shi Yongsheng picked up his big teapot, took a sip of wine, smacked his lips, and said with a smile.

With wine and meat, this life is so wonderful. I am grateful to my little leader.

Hearing this, Han Wenlong subconsciously tightened his cotton coat and said, "Do you think there will be any old talk tonight? I'm still a young man!"

"Pfft!"

Li Guohua almost spit out his wine. You, you still want to be a virgin? You have watched so many critical films, you must have given your first time to the fifth girl, you still want to be a virgin.

He said bluntly: "You are so tender and delicious, and you can't outrun others. If there is a tiger, you will be the one to be eaten!"

Upon hearing this, Han Wenlong subconsciously leaned towards Li Guohua. He decided to sleep with Li Guohua in his arms at night and not let him leave him behind.

Afterwards, they talked about wild boars, and Shi Yongsheng said that now is not the season when wild boars are most harmful.

Two months ago, when corn was in ear stage and cob stage, wild boars were the most likely to cause damage to crops. The height of corn was also good for wild boars to hide.

Whenever the sound of "rustle! rustle!" is heard from the green tent, it must be that a wild boar is stealing food.

There are two types of wild boars: group boars and lone boars.

The pig gang is composed of an old sow leading the piglets of the year and pigs less than two years old. There are as few as seven or eight pigs, and as many as twenty or thirty. They are the most likely to waste food. If they are not watched over overnight, several acres of land can be destroyed. This is what he and Li Quan encountered last time.

In the extremely rare group of pigs, there are also large boars, and more than one, which are real wild boars.

Lone pigs are more powerful. They are large wild boars that grow up away from the herd. The older they get, the more violent their temperaments become.

There are two characteristics of orphan pigs: tusks and thick skin. They have a pair of long tusks in their mouths, like two knives, very sharp, and the older they are, the longer their tusks are. Shi Yongsheng said that the longest tusks of the boars he had seen were about 1.2 to 1.3 feet long.

The reason for their thick skin is easy to understand. They usually roll in the mud and rub against tree bark, especially the oil on pine trees. Over the years, the outer layer becomes as strong as armor.

In addition to their thick skin, their hair is as hard as steel needles, and there is a thick layer of callus on their chests that even a blunt knife cannot penetrate. When they fight for sows, they rely on the callus on their chests to fight, and they are very fierce. Most hunters will not take the initiative to hunt sows.

In addition, wild boars are usually hunted in spring, and driven away mainly in summer and autumn.

In spring, wild boars have gone through a long, cold winter and have not had enough food, so they are weaker and less dangerous. In April, wild boars are pregnant and give birth to piglets, so most hunters will not hunt them.

The wild boars now have just gained weight in the summer and autumn in preparation for the winter. They are fat and strong, and very ferocious.

In this deep forest, there is no wide field of vision. If you can't hit the vital point with one shot, you have to be prepared to get hurt. If you encounter a group of wild boars, it's even worse. It's better to hide honestly.

The place where we saw wild boars last time is not far from here, only an hour or so away. I will take them there tomorrow morning.

As for Shi Yonggui's advice to him not to go into the mountains, he had long forgotten it.

The world is so big, and the little leader who gives me meat to eat and wine to drink is the biggest. You, Shi Yonggui, just paint a rosy picture for me. Year after year, I have been guarding the mountain for so many years.

The next day, the four of them got up before daybreak, but someone started to perform poorly.

Han Wenlong rarely exercises, and his job is as a technician, so he doesn't have to exert much effort. On the first day, he climbed the mountain too quickly and exercised too much, causing his legs to ache and he can't walk now.

Zhang Tao is much better. He loves to play and usually goes out for training. He is much better than Han Wenlong.

In the end, it was decided that Han Wenlong would stay in the cabin and fire his gun if anything happened, while the three of them went into the mountains.

The three of them walked along the hillside for more than half an hour, crossed two mountains, and finally came to a valley.

Li Guohua knew why the wild boar chose this place as soon as he saw it.

There is a big mountain to the north of the valley, embracing it in its arms. To the south facing the sun, there is a large gentle slope with many low fruit trees on it.

In winter, the mountains block the cold wind from the south, while the south can get some sunshine, and there are grass roots and water bubbles at the foot of the mountain.

It is indeed a good place. If you have nothing to eat in the winter, you can eat the wild fruits and grass roots that fall to the ground. If that doesn’t work, you can hunt rabbits, mice and snakes. Anyway, you won’t starve.

Under the leadership of Shi Yongsheng, the two men found a hidden place and hid there.

"Just wait here. It's still early and the wild boars haven't come out yet. I guess they will come out to look for food when the sun comes out!"

Shi Yongsheng checked his spear, then found a comfortable position and closed his eyes.

Li Guohua saw that he was so sure, and knew that he was very familiar with the situation here, otherwise he would definitely bring the dog into the mountains. Maybe when he had nothing to do, he would come here to see the wild boars, and wanted to catch a lone one to eat.

In the valley, there are many wild boar footprints near the water bubble, and the presence of wild boars has been confirmed.

Now there is another problem, that is, how do I transport the wild boars I killed? It is not difficult to carry one wild boar in these mountains. I can carry it myself, but what should I do with dozens of wild boars?

"Brother Yongsheng, is there a road nearby? Otherwise, how are you going to get the wild boar out?" Li Guohua asked curiously.

"Just call for people to carry him, what else can we do? See over there, there is a hidden path that people can pass through. There is a highway outside, only two or three miles away, which is closer than the brigade headquarters!" Shi Yongsheng said nonchalantly.

He was very familiar with this area of ​​the mountain, every blade of grass and every tree, so he would not get lost even with his eyes closed.

Well, this is the only way. When the time comes, I’ll ask the factory to send someone, or spend some money to hire someone to carry it. I can’t worry about anything else.

At noon, the herd of wild boars finally appeared, and there were many more of them than the last time I saw them in Shigouzi Village. There were too many human activities in Shigouzi Village, and the mountains were not high and the forests were not dense. This side was a real deep mountain forest with few people, and it was incomparable.

At a glance, there were at least fifty or sixty wild boars, of which ten were very large, there were five or six black-brown boars, and the rest were about two years old. There were also quite a few piglets, but they were no longer little yellow tails, but little wild boars with protruding bristles on their backs.
