Chapter 94 The Heroic Wangcai
When the mother boar saw Wangcai rushing towards her, she showed no sign of backing down; instead, she was completely enraged.
While wolf packs are undoubtedly top-notch hunters in the wilderness, even wild boar herds must be wary of them, a lone wolf is no match for them, let alone a young wolf cub.
The mother wild boar's eyes were bloodshot. When she was about 10 meters away from Wangcai, she suddenly lowered her head and charged at him.
But at the very moment of contact, Wangcai suddenly leaped up, deftly dodging the powerful impact of the mother wild boar, and landed safely.
The mother boar, caught off guard, crashed heavily onto the snow with a loud thud, sending up a cloud of snow.
He let out a muffled groan, injuring himself in the process.
But a wild boar is still a wild boar; its skin is thick and its flesh is tough. This small injury is basically negligible in the face of its massive body.
The female wild boar fell to the ground for a moment, then quickly rolled over and stood up, angrily charging at Wangcai once again.
This collision was clearly more powerful and faster than the last one.
However, Wangcai still nimbly dodged it, and even took the opportunity to leap up and land on the back of the sow. It then stretched out its knife-like claws and scratched the sow's back fiercely, leaving several deep bloody marks in an instant.
The mother wild boar cried out in pain, then suddenly swung her head and violently flung Wangcai away, sending him crashing to the snow five meters away.
Wangcai was slammed hard onto the snow, but seemed unharmed. It instantly flipped over and stood up, its back arched, its tan fur taut like a fully drawn bow, its amber eyes fixed on the sow, and a threatening growl rumbled from its throat.
Its wildness was fully unleashed at this moment, determined to fight the sow in front of it to the death.
The female wild boar's bristles stood on end, her thick tusks gleamed with a chilling light, and she pawed at the snow in front of her with her forelegs, emitting a low growl.
However, at this moment, the mother wild boar's front leg was bleeding profusely, clearly indicating that she had been hit by one of the three shots fired by Li Xiangyang.
"Brother, let's run now!" Li Xiangdong said urgently, pulling Li Xiangyang along. "I don't think Wangcai can hold out much longer. If the wild boar hurts Wangcai and then turns around and charges at us, we'll be in trouble."
"No, we can't leave!" Li Xiangyang refused, his tone leaving no room for argument.
He shoved Li Xiangdong's hand away again.
He knew that Wangcai was currently dealing with the sow to buy him time to repair his gun. He couldn't leave, and he was confident that he would take down the sow as well.
He then flipped his wrist, quickly pulled up the bolt handle, and pulled the bolt back sharply, pulling out the jammed bullet and cartridge case together.
His fingertips swept quickly across the chamber to confirm it was undamaged, then he pushed the bolt to chamber the round, the movements swift and clean, all in one smooth motion.
Huhu.
After doing all this, Li Xiangyang exhaled the stale air from his chest, trying to calm himself down. He then quickly lay back down in his shooting position and shouted to Wangcai, "Wangcai, come back!"
Upon hearing Li Xiangyang's shout, Wangcai barked twice at the sow and then ran back to the hillside where Li Xiangyang was.
The mother wild boar relentlessly pursued it.
Li Xiangdong couldn't persuade Li Xiangyang to leave, and he himself didn't leave either. Instead, he raised the iron skewer in his hand, ready to throw it at any moment when the sow ran close.
boom!
Li Xiangyang pulled the trigger again.
The 7.62×54mmR rifle bullet once again shot out with a streak of sparks and lightning.
This time, the bullet entered the wild boar's chest cavity, slightly to the left, between its two lungs.
The female wild boar charged forward for about ten meters before her front legs buckled and she collapsed. She slid forward for another seven or eight meters before coming to a stop.
Behind him, the blood trailed a long red waterfall across the pristine white snow.
Li Xiangyang, Li Xiangdong, and Wangcai were all stunned. Snowflakes fell from the sky, slowly erasing the traces of their recent struggle.
The law of the jungle, the survival of the fittest, has always been the rule of the fittest.
call.
After a while, seeing that the wild boar hadn't moved at all, Li Xiangyang and Li Xiangdong finally breathed a long sigh of relief.
Wangcai was so excited that it kept running back and forth between Li Xiangyang and the wild boar.
"Brother, two...two wild boars, two wild boars!" Li Xiangdong held up two fingers, gesturing repeatedly in front of Li Xiangyang: "We hunted two wild boars in one go!"
"Yes, two wild boars. Now our family is truly well-off and can have a prosperous New Year."
Li Xiangyang smiled too.
Wild boar meat has a strong, gamey smell, so it's not expensive, costing between 6 and 8 cents per pound, which is cheaper than domestic pork.
Pork bones cost about three or four cents a pound, and offal costs even less.
But it didn't cost anything; it only took two magazines of bullets.
Moreover, the boar and the sow together should weigh around 600 jin (300 catties), and after removing the internal organs and bones, there should be over 400 jin (200 kg) of meat left.
That should net me another two or three hundred yuan.
But then another problem arises: how to transport a pig weighing several hundred kilograms back home?
"Brother, go back and call someone to bring our sled over. I'll gut these two wild boars first, so they don't rot later."
"Okay, then you need to be careful. Wangcai will stay here with you. I'll be right back."
Without wasting any words, Li Xiangdong dropped the sack and iron skewers and waded through the snow towards the Li family home.
They were not far from the village, but the roads were difficult to travel due to the heavy snow, and it would take at least an hour to get back to the village, so he had to hurry.
After Li Xiangdong left, Li Xiangyang first squatted down next to the wild boar king, reached out and touched it. In just a short while, the wild boar's limbs, nose and ears, where the blood vessels were relatively small, had been frozen solid, but the belly was unusually warm. Obviously, the microorganisms inside were multiplying in large numbers, and the entrails had to be cut open as soon as possible.
Then Li Xiangyang pulled out a sharp short dagger from his pocket, and immediately slashed open the wild boar's belly. With a flash of cold light, the internal organs were instantly exposed.
Li Xiangyang took off his cotton gloves and reached into the wild boar's abdomen with his bare hands, first pulling out the warm wild boar's stomach.
Wild boar stomachs are a valuable ingredient, known as a "natural stomach medicine," and have a good auxiliary conditioning effect on chronic gastritis and gastric ulcers.
He set the pig's stomach aside, then took out the pig's large intestine, scrambled it a few times, and tossed it aside to feed Wangcai.
Pig intestines are also a good thing. Their inner walls are covered with a thick layer of fat, which can quickly replenish Wangcai's heat and help him resist the cold in the freezing cold of -25 degrees Celsius. It can also replenish his energy and help him recover his strength.
A bowl of pickled cabbage would be delicious when we get home, but Wangcai behaved so well today that Li Xiangyang naturally couldn't be stingy with the reward.
After Li Xiangyang finished dealing with the two wild boars, Li Xiangdong arrived, followed by a large group of six or seven people.
They were all his neighbors, and Liu Xiulan and Zhao Lijuan followed them over.
