EBE Chapter 192 Wild Boar's Den
Chapter 192 Wild Boar's Den
Zhou Guo randomly chose a direction, carrying a sack of pine mushrooms on her back, and taking out a pear to eat from time to time. She walked leisurely and comfortably. There were many beautiful and unknown wild flowers in the mountains. She looked at them one by one and really wanted to dig one to take home and grow.
The master said that there were not many pine mushrooms left, but it seemed to her that there were still quite a lot. She had stepped on five or six along the way. She squatted down to look at the mushrooms, picked up the well-grown and top-quality ones and stuffed them into the bag in front of her, and threw away the ones that grew crookedly.
The old man saw that she was not walking properly. She would squat down to look at a flower, pick a mushroom, and even touch a strange-looking sapling. Finally, he couldn't help but said, "Aren't you going to look for wild boars? Are you going to find them next year?"
Zhou Guo said, "Master, don't worry. It's still early. Wild boars fight very fast. I can knock one down with one punch. Two punches can knock a pig unconscious. It only takes one second. Once I knock it down, I can carry it down the mountain. It's still early. Don't worry."
After walking up another hill, the terrain ahead became flatter and flatter. She looked at the areas in the forest that seemed to have been dug up by someone and knew that she had come to the right place. Could it be that a wild boar had dug up the ground? She squatted down and carefully examined the traces, and sure enough, she found wild boar footprints.
"Master, look at the footprints. There are traces of wild boar activity here."
Old man: "...I saw it." This girl is really something. She can find a wild boar by walking in any direction.
Zhou Guo added: "You have good ears, listen carefully to see if there are any wild boars nearby."
The old man pricked up his ears helplessly, listened for a while, and shook his head.
Zhou Guo was not disappointed. "It doesn't matter. Let's look for it. It's still early."
He started wandering around in the woods again, "Master, let me go over there and take a look."
The old man was worried and said, "Don't go too far, there are big beasts in the mountains!" After saying that, he thought of the child's strength and felt that he was worrying for nothing. She used all her strength in that punch, and even the big beast would faint. He didn't know who to worry about.
The two went their separate ways.
Zhou Guo carried a sack of mushrooms on his back and looked around as he walked. The flowers and plants on the road were so beautiful.
As we went forward, we saw more and more wild boar footprints, and the overturned soil looked fresh, probably having been dug up not long ago.
I ran straight forward for two miles, and sure enough, I heard a noise not far to the right front. I took a breath and went forward. In a valley, I saw a family of wild boars, a group of large and small, and I didn't know how many of them there were!
"Oh my God, we've destroyed the wild boars' den." Zhou Guo looked at the pigs in front of him excitedly. With these, he wouldn't have to buy meat in the winter. Hahaha, how much money would this be worth.
"Isn't your luck a little too weird?" The old man's voice sounded from behind.
Zhou Guo said happily: "Master, let's kill a few more and bring them back so that we can eat them until next year."
The old man said, "Aren't you afraid it will go bad? You can eat it until next year. It's only a little cold now. If you make so much, it will go bad soon."
Zhou Guo originally wanted to make bacon, but then he thought about the weather during the day. The sun was so bright and the heat was almost the same as in summer. The bacon might go bad before it was smoked. So he said, "Let's get one. A big one will be enough for us to eat for a long time. We can get a few more big ones after a while." Then he could smoke the bacon.
After she finished speaking, a few fat and strong little wild boars bumped into the big wild boar. Her eyes lit up and she blurted out, "Roast suckling pig!"
The old man was shocked. He was lucky enough to eat it once in his lifetime. It melted in his mouth, was tender and juicy, and had a rich aroma. It was a rare delicacy.
Zhou Guo said, "Master, we don't want a big wild boar. We want one that's neither too big nor too small, with enough meat to eat for a few days and won't go bad. Then we can kill two small ones. The fat pigs will taste better."
The old man nodded.
The two men held two stones in their hands and threw them out at once, hitting the pig right on the body.
"Hmph!" The pigs were frightened and scattered with a grunt.
Zhou Guo took a deep breath and chased after the pig she had picked. The old man was afraid that she would be hit by the running pigs, so he hurriedly followed behind.
The master and disciple entered the pig herd like a wolf entering a sheepfold. The old man didn't say anything. Zhou Guo rushed around in the pig herd. A wild boar rushed towards her like a cannonball. She jumped up on her toes and hit the wild boar on the head with her fist. With a bang, the wild boar fell heavily to the ground and fainted.
After she dealt with this one, the others had already run away. The little wild boars ran slowly, so she caught up with them, grabbed one by its hind legs and lifted it up in one go.
"Ji~~Ji~~" The little wild boar was so scared that it squeaking and moving around in her hands.
"Wow, so fat!" The meat must be very tender, it's a pity that the seasoning is not complete, otherwise it would be so delicious!
The old man also came back carrying two little wild boars, one on each side, with excitement still on his face. These were all picked up for free!
Zhou Guo tied up the three little wild boars with wild vines, and also tied up the big wild boar that had fainted on the ground. "This pig weighs about 60 kilograms. Judging from our appetite, it can probably last us four or five days. We still have so much meat at home. Master, let's carry this pig back alive and raise it for a few days."
The old man had no objection. He never asked about these things. As long as there was some meat to eat, it was fine. If there was no more meat, they could just go into the mountains and hunt more.
Zhou Guo picked up the big wild boar, but before he could lift it up, the old man snatched it away, put it on his shoulder and turned away, "You're not afraid of it not growing taller."
Zhou Guo smiled, picked up the remaining three wild boars, and followed him down the mountain.
When they came out of the mountain, it was already late. When they got home, the masters who made the kang had all left, but Li and others were still waiting for them for dinner.
When everyone saw what they were carrying on their shoulders, they stood up suddenly.
They gathered around to see, "This is a wild boar, with such a big head, how much meat can it get!"
"There are still three little pigs alive! So, are we going to raise them and kill them for meat when they grow up?" Everyone looked at Zhou Guo and the others. The problem was that they had nothing to feed them. They themselves hadn't eaten yet. After autumn, even wild vegetables were gone. What would the wild boars eat then?
"We catch them to eat." Zhou Guo pointed at the three small ones and said, "We'll roast these three. Roast one at a time and keep the other two for two days. Then we'll kill them when we're ready to eat them." He pointed at the big one next to him and said, "We'll kill this big one after we finish eating all the meat at home. It'll also take a few days to keep it."
When everyone heard that the three little pigs were to be eaten, they were extremely surprised. "They are so young, and we need to eat them? What kind of meat can they have?"
"Yes, it's such a pity to eat them like this. It would be more cost-effective to raise them and produce more meat when they grow up." Li felt a little sad when she saw the three little wild boars, which were fat and strong and still young, being eaten like this.
