Chapter 15 Pig Catching
Old hunters who often walk in the mountains and forests know a saying: It is better to provoke a tiger than a wild boar. It means that a wild boar is more terrifying than a tiger.
It is difficult for ordinary people to understand because in their perception, the tiger is the king of the forest, roaring in the mountains and forests, and is extremely fierce, but it turns out to be worse than a pig? This is simply the funny joke in the world.
However, they did not know that although tigers were fierce, for hunters, their hunting knives, crossbows, and steel forks could penetrate the tiger's flesh, so even if they were dead for a lifetime, they still had a chance to fight. However, wild boars were different, because wild boars like to bathe in mud and often rub against tree trunks, rocks or other hard objects. Over time, a very hard protective layer would form, so that the hunter's hunting knives, crossbows, and steel forks could not hurt it at all. Instead, the angrily impacted wild boars were extremely terrible. Being pushed by their fangs would definitely lead to a tragic end of being pierced by their intestines. Therefore, there was a saying that they would rather provoke tigers than wild boars.
In short, it is very unwise to anger a wild boar in the forest. If you anger an adult male wild boar, it is basically the same as seeking death.
So when Zhang Youxiong and Li Dahe saw the huge male wild boar in the distance under the guidance of Zhang Xiaozu, their first reaction was not surprise, but shock, and their calves were spinning. They finally pressed the idea of turning their heads and running away. To be honest, if they were not forced to be impatient, they would not be willing to provoke this fool.
"Damn it!" Zhang Youxiong swallowed, waved his fist hard, as if he was cheering up his courage, and then ordered: "Call everyone here and touch it quietly, don't startle the wild boar."
"Okay." Zhang Xiaozhu and his friends took the order.
Soon more than a hundred people were summoned back, their eyes shining, eager to try, and couldn't wait to urge Zhang Youxiong and Li Dahe to assign tasks.
"All those who are responsible for laying the net will be given a quarter of an hour to go around the opposite side, and then set up the first interception network at a distance of 100 steps away from the wild boar, then set up one every fifty steps, and so on, lay down all ten nets for me and hang up the barbs. After everything is ready, you whistle and we will drive it away immediately. Remember, after the net is laid, you will raise the trees for me and find the largest and thickest tree. Go." Zhang Youxiong ordered.
More than twenty people immediately took action and quietly touched the boar.
The intercepting net is specially prepared for large animals or large-scale hunting. It is similar to a fishing net. The net cable is made of jute skin. The thin ones are as thick as a little finger and thicker than a thumb. The bottom of the net is generally fixed to the ground with a wooden jaw. The top is generally fixed to the trunk. If there is no tree, it is supported with a wooden stick. The net body has a sac. The prey can be penetrated and you can't think of it after it pierces. The net body can also be hooked and thorns. Once the prey is hooked by the hook, you can't break free.
"The rest of the people dispersed in fan shape, half surrounded the wild boar. The gongs, steel forks, bows and arrows, and hunting knives are all ready. When I give my order, I will attack and drive it to the opposite side. Remember, if the wild boar attacks wildly, the attacked person must not run straight, unless you are confident that you can run over the wild boar, or think that your butt eggs can resist the wild boar's fangs, and run around the curve of the big tree, and then find an opportunity to climb the tree. Do you understand? If you understand, find a position and disperse." Zhang Youxiong ordered again.
People from both villages practiced hunting, so they understood Zhang Youxiong's instructions as soon as they heard them. Disperse around according to the formation, find a location to hide, and stand by at any time.
"You use a gong, I use a bow." Niu Dawa divided the work to Zhang Xiaozu.
"Why don't you use a gong?" Zhang Xiaozu rolled his eyes and said. Although the gong is the best tool to drive away prey, it is so scared that the prey runs away. However, how can you beat the gong be so exciting that you can shoot with a bow and arrow, so Zhang Xiaozu was reluctant.
"You beat the gong so well." Niu Dawa made up a reason casually.
"Why do I call it a song "You are the most beautiful girl"?" Zhang Xiaozu said speechlessly.
"Then it will definitely be violent immediately, because it is a boar." Niu Dawa said.
""
After about two quarters of an hour, a sharp whistle sounded through the forest and reached everyone's ears.
The wild boar was sleeping under the tree after itchy. When he heard the whistle, he suddenly raised his ears and crawled up. He looked around with vigilance. After finding nothing unusual, he lay down and continued to sleep.
when!
A deafening gong sounded immediately, which was an offensive signal sent by Zhang Youxiong.
Whoosh!
Niu Dawa's bow and arrow were ready to go, and when he heard the signal, he was the first to shoot out. Then dozens of arrows were shot out from the fan-shaped encirclement, each arrow shot at the black wild boar with a sharp sound of breaking through the air, and aimed at its head.
Niu Dawa's archery technique was pretty good, with only a little error, and he didn't hit the eye that he was aiming in advance. He tilted up a little, and shot the eyebrow bone.
A thud.
Niu Dawa's eyes widened.
The arrow hit the black wild boar's brow bone and it was actually bounced away with a thud. The black wild boar's skin was not broken at all, which was completely different from what Niu Dawa expected.
The black wild boar got up with a slap. Before he could understand what was going on, dozens of arrows shot overwhelmed, but the result was the same, and they were all bounced away by the thick skin of the black wild boar.
Dangdangdang!
The gong beat the gong vigorously, and the mouth was accompanied by a threatening cry. The archers held the bow also shouted, and they continued to shoot arrows, aiming at the key points of the black wild boar.
It's funny, the black wild boar seemed to have never seen such a big scene before, and stood there for a long time before reacting, chasing and roaring, running in one direction, without ringing the gong, setting the trap.
Dongdongdongdongdong
The huge body of the black wild boar ran like a moving hill, shaking the ground, causing dead branches and leaves to fall from the towering trees.
As soon as it ran away, the louder the encirclement and driving away here, the louder the sound of the gongs was shaking.
Niu Dawa was very depressed. Although his archery skills were accurate, most of them shot on the butt of the wild boar, which would not cause any lethality to the wild boar. Fortunately, this guy couldn't catch up with the black wild boar, otherwise he might have to hold a steel fork to stab the black wild boar's farts and eyes.
The distance of one hundred steps was very close. The black wild boar rushed to the first trap in a while, without any pause, and pierced into the big net. However, there was only a few dull sounds, and the net rope was like paper. As soon as it hit the black wild boar, it was broken by the black wild boar. The snail hook hanging on the net could not penetrate the black wild boar's skin.
"Knock hard! Don't stop the bow and arrow!" Zhang Youxiong shouted. The first net was torn apart, which was completely within his expectations, otherwise he would not have let the entire ten nets be laid down.
Fifty steps, the second trap.
The black wild boar once again easily broke the net.
Another fifty steps, the third trap.
Break the net.
Another fifty steps, the fourth trap.
Break the net.
Another fifty steps, the fifth trap.
Break the net.
...
Another fifty steps, the eighth trap.
The net rope was as thick as a thumb, and the black wild boar that broke the seven-channel net pierced in. After arching for a while, it was obvious that its physical strength had been consumed.
Another fifty steps, the ninth trap.
"Quick! Take off all the broken nets, and when it gets into the net and struggles later, cover them all! Take out all the steel forks and prepare to fuck it!" Zhang Youxiong shouted anxiously.
Everyone takes the order and acts.
Just as everyone held their breath and waited for the black wild boar to enter the net, the black wild boar suddenly braked and stopped. It seemed to feel the danger, stood in front of the net and growled irritably, and its nostrils were whispering hot air. Suddenly it shook itself, turning its direction, and then running wildly with its sharp fangs.
"Dangerous!" Zhang Youxiong roared anxiously. The black wild boar's move was something he never expected. It seemed that after breaking eight nets in a row, the black wild boar suddenly learned to think. He no longer drilled into the net, but instead turned around and wanted to break through.
The people who were blocking the way of the black wild boar's progress turned green, and the black guy's terrifying destructive power was seen with their own eyes. They gave them a hundred courages and they didn't dare to fight against the black guy head-on. Fortunately, Zhang Youxiong had a reminder in advance, so they were shocked but not panicked. They were aimed at a tree and rushed up in a few seconds. They were all grown up in the mountains, and diving and climbing trees were all good at it.
"Damn it, it's going to run away!" Someone yelled anxiously, but he was helpless. This was simply a moving iron lump and there was nowhere to start.
"No! It's crazy! Erdan, hug it tightly!" Zhang Youxiong yelled anxiously, his voice forked.
Everyone was puzzled, but the black wild boar gave them the answer the next moment.
I saw the black wild boar rushing all the way, and finally hit a big tree. With a bang, the earth shook. The trunks of a few hugs were buzzing and buzzing. The leaves were covered with the sky and the earth fell, and there was a figure falling down with the leaves, which was the Erdan shouted by Zhang Youxiong.
With a bang, Erdan screamed and fell down. The thick dead branches and leaves on the ground played a good cushioning role. He was not injured. But before he could even be glad he was frightened by a pig's face above his head. The black wild boar was waiting for him under the tree, and the fishy heat from his nostrils was spraying on his face.
Erdan was frightened and collapsed there and no thoughts.
The black wild boar was already manic, opened his fishy mouth and bit it according to Erdan's head.
