Chapter 111: In ancient times, Wu Song killed a tiger, and now Xiao Tao beats a pig
Yue Feng did not answer immediately, but frowned and recalled the terrain around Sandagang.
Yue Feng had been to this place in his previous life, and had brought Xiaowen and Xiaowu to kill a blind bear weighing over 300 kilograms. The surrounding environment was not suitable for wild boars to rest, and there were not many Feng Shui sites to choose from.
After recalling for a few seconds, Yue Feng thought of two places with greater possibilities, so he said:
“I heard my father mention these three posts once. In the southwestern corner, there is a sunny valley! In the northeastern corner is a steep cliff, and at the bottom of the cliff is a jumping stone pond, which is also a good place to avoid the wind and face the sun!
I think if these pigs were to spend the night around Sandaogang, they would most likely choose one of these two locations!”
“Tiaoshitang is prone to predators such as lynx and bobcat, so it’s unlikely that a group of wild boars would dare to spend the night there!” Xiaowen added after listening.
It’s true. Cats really like to use terrain like jumping stone ponds as their nests. Yue Feng just overlooked this detail.
“Then let’s go to the sunny slope in the southwest corner first! We entered the mountain early today. If we are lucky, the wild boars haven’t gotten up yet! The big pigs are greedy for the warm air from lying down, and they must be holding their urine!” Yue Feng said confidently.
Wild boars also have their own territories. If there is no human interference, there will be certain rules for where they feed, where they spend the night, where they drink water, etc.
When it snows in winter, we don’t have to worry about drinking water, but eating and staying overnight are still objective issues.
A group of wild boars that have lived in the mountains for a long time will have their own pig pens, especially the wild boars in Changbai Mountain. Some of the pig pens are more than dozens of square meters in area and are covered with various soft grasses, tree barks, broken branches and other debris. At night, a whole group of wild boars gather together to spend the night.
Wild boars are actually very hygienic. They are not the kind of creatures that pee and poop in their own burrows. It is cold in winter, and before the sun rises, the big wild boars are too lazy to get up early, so they definitely won’t be able to pee after holding it in all night.
At this time, if the hunter uses a gun to ambush the herd of pigs at medium distance, the movement speed of the wild boars will be significantly affected.
“What are you waiting for? Let’s go! Tuck it in the quilt and kill it all!” Xiao Tao immediately got excited when he heard this.
“Let’s go!” Yue Feng waved his hand and led his men to the first place where the pigs might spend the night.
Considering that the wild boar had not yet woken up, the four brothers walked quickly. After less than twenty minutes, Yue Feng and his men arrived at the area in their memory.
The pine forest, the sunny slope, the valley not far away, the real environment slowly overlaps with the memory.
Just as Yue Feng was looking around for the location of the wild boar’s den, Xiaowen gently pulled Yue Feng’s sleeve.
Yue Feng looked in the direction Xiaowen pointed, and soon an obvious trace caught Yue Feng’s attention.
There was an area with animal trails trampled by pigs, connecting the pine forest on the sunny slope above and leading to the bottom of the ditch below. It seemed so out of place in the icy and snowy environment.
Seeing this scene, Yue Feng pulled everyone back and turned around.
Damn, we came here along the ridge. If the wild boars spent the night in this pine forest, the current straight-line distance is less than 200 meters. That’s because there was no wind this morning, otherwise the wild boars might have smelled the scent on us.
They stopped only after they had retreated all the way to the shady side of the ridge.
Yue Feng said quietly with a calm expression: “The location pointed by the animal trail is in the pine forest. I estimate that if the group of pigs are there, they are most likely in the pine forest! We now have two plans.
The first is to continue to approach in a straight line along the ridge just now, betting that there is no wind today and the pigs cannot find us in advance! The advantage is that if the bet wins, it saves time and can complete the raid before the big wild boar gets up to pee!
The second plan is safer. We go around to the downwind position and slowly move closer. You have seen the terrain at the bottom of the ditch just now. The visibility is poor and it is not easy to get close. It is possible that by the time we arrive at the location, the pigs will have gotten up and moved around!
How do you choose? “
“If I were to choose, I would definitely choose wealth and fame by taking risks and maximizing benefits!” Xiao Tao expressed his opinion decisively.
“We both listen to you. You are the captain, so any idiot is fine!” Xiaowen did not express his opinion, but left it to Yue Feng to make the decision.
In fact, according to reason, when the captain leads the team members into the mountains, there is no need to discuss such decision-making with the team members as long as it is not too sensitive or dangerous. However, Yue Feng did not treat them as ordinary people who drove sticks and did rough work. After listening to more analysis and exchanges, everyone can quickly accumulate experience in going up the mountain, and it won’t be long before everyone can take charge of their own work.
Xiaowen and Xiaowu had slightly more experience in following other hunters into the mountains, and they knew that Yue Feng was trying to get them to use their brains. Xiaowen understood these common sense things, so he did not express any opinions.
“Okay, let’s be more aggressive this time! You guys put your knives on the ramp in advance. The pigs sleeping on the sunny slope may not run over there after the gunfire. If the pigs come towards us, everyone should hold their weapons. We don’t ask for more prey to be killed, but at least we should ensure our own safety!”
“Okay, get ready!”
Xiao Tao looked around, chose a Manchurian ash tree to chop down, and then quickly sharpened the knife on the pier. With the knife in hand, he was already in a murderous state before he saw the wild boar. The old saying that a sharp weapon will make you murderous is really true.
While the three brothers were making preparations, Yue Feng quietly went to the ridge and took a look forward.
Consistent with his judgment, there was a large area in the pine forest that had been turned into a nest by wild boars. At first glance, it didn’t seem unusual, but upon closer inspection, you would find that there were more than a dozen pigs, with the adult pigs outside and the piglets in the middle, lying in the hay and not getting up.
After seeing the real person, Yue Feng looked around the surrounding environment, then quietly moved forward.
The snow beneath his feet was frozen hard, with only a slight creaking sound when he stepped on it. The big egg nestled at the outermost edge seemed to have heard the subtle sound, and although its huge body did not move, its ears trembled slightly.
Grunting and heavy breathing sounds were heard. Yue Feng approached to a distance of more than 40 meters and could already vaguely hear the sounds.
Yue Feng chose a hardwood branch as his shooting position, leaned against the tree, stood up, and used the aiming star to name the pigs one by one.
Yue Feng also discovered the armored wild boar that Xiaonian mentioned. The shoulder of this big boar was indeed different from that of ordinary wild boars. It was lighter in color, and at first glance it looked like the mixture of yellowish rocks and soil next to the stone pit.
From Yue Feng’s shooting perspective, he could clearly see the sizes of the wild boars, about twelve or thirteen in total. In Changbai Mountain, such a herd of pigs is actually considered medium-sized.
Most conventional pig herds consist of one or two large pigs, two or three two-year-old pigs, and a few yellow-haired pigs. The number generally does not exceed seven or eight pigs.
Yue Feng was ready in position, and Xiao Tao and his two brothers also came forward with knives and guns in hand.
As the few people approached, the pig in the pigsty seemed to smell a strange odor and hummed a few times.
Yue Feng made an OK gesture to the team members, and then suddenly blew a whistle.
Tweet!
The wild boars suddenly panicked after hearing the whistle. The big pig immediately reacted and climbed out of the warm pig nest. Bang! Bang! Bang!
Bang bang bang!
Yue Feng took the opportunity when the wild boar stood up and fired decisively!
The sound of gunfire was like popping beans, almost continuous. Before the wild boar, which had just struggled to stand up, could even run away, it was hit by heavy bullets on its side, shoulder, and spine.
Hula la! There was a great noise among the pigs.
The largest armored cannon pig was hit by at least three shots from Yue Feng, but two of them produced sparks, and only one hit the side of the pig’s right hind leg, causing blood to spurt out.
The Cannon Egg stood up, and its first reaction was to charge towards Yue Feng. However, after seeing that there were three terrifying upright apes holding sharp blades not far from Yue Feng, the Cannon Egg decisively changed its lane and turned to escape to the lower part of the sunny slope.
The armored cannon egg, seeing the overwhelming force of numbers, disregarded the honor of the wild boar clan and simply fled!
There were only ten bullets in the magazine, and Yue Feng fired them all. When the wild boar ran away, Yue Feng was at a loss. He quickly took out the spare bullets from the bullet bag, and when he put three bullets in it and aimed again, the surviving wild boar had already disappeared into the woods.
“Damn it, there’s a sow with an injured leg. We can’t let it run away! I’ll chase it!” Xiao Tao saw the pigs running away, so he grabbed his knife and chased after them.
This tiger was tall and ran wildly in the snow with his long legs. He followed an injured sow that had run into a pine forest.
“Xiao Tao, be steady and pay attention to safety!” Yue Feng shouted at him when he saw Xiao Tao getting aggressive again.
“Yeah, I’ll be back!” Xiao Tao responded, but his body did not stop, instead he ran faster.
“Xiao Wen, go and support Xiao Tao, don’t get hurt. Xiao Wu, come with me to check the results of the battle!”
There was a large gentle slope around the pigsty, and not many survivors escaped. The pig that escaped just now was a two-year-old pig, weighing at most 200 kilograms. Xiao Tao was not in any risk, so Yue Feng just asked Xiaowen to coordinate and simply left it alone.
Yue Feng took big strides and walked towards the wild boar’s den, and soon the two of them saw the results of their battle.
Two sows weighing 260 to 270 kilograms, a two-year-old boar weighing 180 to 190 kilograms, and two yellow-haired pigs weighing over 100 kilograms.
Ten bullets killed a total of five wild boars. The two yellow-haired ones closest to the inside were probably the candied haws pierced by bullets. The wounds caused by the bullets were as big as a child’s fist, and they died on the spot.
“Brother Feng, we’re rich! We killed five wild boars!” It was the first time for Xiaowu to kill five wild boars at once, so he was so happy that his mouth was crooked with joy.
“Don’t just stand there. Come with me to drain the pig’s blood first! When Xiao Tao and Xiao Wen come back, we’ll slowly gut it and clean it up!” Yue Feng wiped his leg and grabbed a single-edged leg-skinning knife.
In fact, to bleed and disembowel a wild boar, it is more convenient to use a razor with a longer blade, but it is not very convenient to carry. Among the four-man team, only Xiao Tao brought one, while the brothers Xiaowen and Xiaowu both brought spears.
Now Xiao Tao was chasing the injured sow into the pine forest, and Yue Feng and Xiao Wu’s bloodletting knives were no longer useful.
While Yue Feng was struggling hard with the five wild boar corpses on the ground, on the other side, Xiao Tao, holding a sharp knife, had slowly caught up with the injured sow.
The sow was shot in the hind legs. One of the hind legs was seriously injured by a bullet in the front of the thigh. The other hind leg was also scratched by the bullet. At this moment, its escape speed was not very fast.
But a mountain animal is a mountain animal after all. Even though blood was gushing from its hind legs, its will to escape made it not give up hope of escaping.
If someone else was chasing it, maybe this unlucky creature would have a chance to escape, but now the one chasing it is the most powerful one judging by his physical fitness, Tiger Bi Xiao Tao.
Xiao Tao chased the injured wild boar for at least three or four hundred meters. Holding an elm knife in his hand, he aimed at the wild boar’s neck and back and stabbed it in the head.
The knife with a pole on the pier is more like a long-handled weapon like a crescent-shaped sword, so this knife is not used for chopping, but for stabbing downwards at a small angle like a spear.
The wild boar was still running forward. Xiao Tao aimed at the boar’s neck and cut it, but he forgot that he had to cut in advance. The knife did not hit the neck, but instead hit the wild boar’s butt.
Now, the wild boar, which was originally unable to run, screamed, and without caring about the knife that was swaying on its butt, it sped up and ran away.
The attack failed to hit the vital point and instead he lost his weapon, which made Xiao Tao very angry. He continued to run wildly with his long legs.
Little guy, I can’t catch up with you today, let’s see where you can run!
In this way, the man and the pig were caught in a chase. The knife on the wild boar’s butt fell to the ground at some point as they ran. Xiao Tao did not find it in time to bend down to pick it up. He just continued to run wildly with his bare hands and chased after him.
Due to the massive blood loss, the wild boar’s physical strength was rapidly depleted. After chasing for several hundred meters, the wild boar’s front legs became soft and it knelt on the ground, unable to run anymore.
Xiao Tao quickly rushed to the wild boar and wanted to kill it with his knife, but suddenly he found a problem.
“Damn it, where’s my knife!!”
As soon as this guy entered the rampage fighting state, blood rushed to his forehead and his brain seemed to short-circuit, and he even forgot the fact that he didn’t have a knife in his hand.
However, even without the sword in his hand, the great General Tao’s fighting power is still very strong.
Seeing that the sow was too tired to run, he stepped onto the wild boar’s back, grabbed the wild boar’s ear with one hand, and swung his iron fist with the other hand, hitting the wild boar’s vital part on the back of the head.
Yue Feng had given Xiao Tao an accurate evaluation before. This guy was a berserker who completely lost his mind when he saw blood.
It was obvious that the wild boar could no longer run and was almost at the mercy of others, but he was afraid that the wild boar would run away again after a while, so he would not stop until the wild boar was completely killed.
Just as in ancient times Wu Song fought a tiger on Jingyang Ridge, today Xiao Tao beats a pig on Sandaogang.
By the time Xiaowen, who was following behind with a spear in his hand, caught up with Xiao Tao, the little sow under Xiao Tao’s butt was breathing in more than out.
And Xiao Tao was still waving his fists tirelessly.
“Grass! Grass! Grass! Grass!”
For a moment, Xiaowen felt a little strange. Why did this cousin of his who grew up naked with him seem to have some violent tendencies?
