Chapter 244 Traces of Pigs
“This should be the only way for them to go up and down the mountain.” Mr. Huang said while looking at the woods.
The woods in front of me have been broken into a road.
Because on the road in front of us, not only the grass on the ground has been chewed into bare skin by them.
And no matter whether it is a big tree or a small tree, wherever it can be reached, the bark is not spared.
Everyone of them has looked for a circle of places nearby.
Although there are traces of being crossed by wild boars, they are not very obvious.
Only here, the living woods, were destroyed beyond recognition.
“Let’s go, touch it and see what’s going on.”
Arrived here, Zhang An and his party no longer have to follow the pig’s footprints as before.
Just follow the road trampled by wild boars and you'll probably be able to find their lair.
A few people walked along the woods to the mountain, and everyone watched the surroundings carefully along the way.
After the wild boars in this forest were scourge, it was not without benefits.
At least now when a group of people are walking in the woods, they don’t have to worry about a big guy jumping out of nowhere.
"Anzi, if you find a herd of pigs later, you have to take care of your big dogs and don't scare them."
While walking through the woods, Huang Erye said to Zhang An said,
Because at this moment, several big dogs of Zhang An's family were sniffing around, as if looking for the smell of wild boars.
"Don't worry, Mr. Er, you're still worried about our dogs."
Zhang An is very relieved about his dogs. When the brothers were young, they would still show off their behavior.
But after the backs grew, the tiger cub took them into the forest every day.
In addition, Zhang An spent a long time taming them before, and now they are no worse than those old hunting dogs that have been in the mountains for many years.
“These dogs of yours are really nice.”
Looking at the several big dogs that were alert in front and behind him, Mr. Huang looked envious.
Others don’t know it, but he knows that Da Mao and the others are Qinglang Chuanzi.
To be so obedient and docile now, he felt that Zhang An must have spent a lot of effort.
Even if someone else’s family has a wolf dog, it must be kept on a leash.
How can they be like the Zhang An family, who just let them play by themselves every day? The key is that nothing has happened yet.
"Yes, these dogs of Zhang An's family are the real mountain dogs."
The other people nearby also agreed after hearing what Mr. Huang said.
Almost everyone in the village has a dog at home, especially those like them who often go into the mountains.
People like them, when we meet, are usually more clever than the mountain dogs at home.
But if we really talk about good dogs, let alone the village, even if they were placed in villages and towns across the country, these big dogs like Zhang An would definitely be the top dogs.
When Da Mao and the other cubs were young, they had all made plans.
After learning that Mr. Huang brought one home, they all wanted to ask Zhang An’s family for one.
But before I opened my mouth, I heard that the bastard was taken home by Mr. Huang and stayed there for only one night before he was taken back by the little tiger.
Not even Mr. Huang wanted to succeed, let alone a few of them, so they gave up the idea later.
Everyone walked all the way from the bottom of the mountain to the top, passed through the woods, and came to the rotten stone forest.
"Second Master, come and take a look, they are all here."
Zhang An walked to the edge of the mountain and held his breath when he saw the scene at the bottom of the mountain.
Because at this moment, under the cliff of the Rotten Stone Forest, the area was completely dark and filled with wild boars.
There is a very large sinkhole below, but there are too many protruding rocks.
So no one wants to open up wasteland for farming, so there are some weeds and wild trees below.
Now Zhang An feels that this place is no longer a rock pit, but is more appropriately called a wild boar pit.
“Hey, how come there are so many.”
Everyone felt their scalps numb as they looked at the wild boars lying and sleeping below.
If such a large herd of pigs really launched an attack on the village, the destructive power would be unimaginable.
"Second Master's estimate is good, there are at least fifty or sixty here."
"More than that, I just counted them roughly, at least seventy-three."
From a distance, everyone can only see a rough outline.
But Zhang An had good eyesight, so he immediately counted more than seventy heads.
And these more than seventy wild boars do not include those hiding under trees or in caves.
"Have any of you seen the Pig King? My eyes were dazzled. I looked around and didn't find it."
Huang Erye looked back and forth several times but didn't find any pigs. There are extremely large wild boars.
The footprints left behind have confirmed that there must be a pig king among this group of wild boars.
Although wild boars are social animals, they usually stay in groups.
Without the Pig King, such a large number of wild boars would never be able to gather together.
The other people just remembered about the Pig King, looked around and shook their heads.
"Second Master, look at the cave next to the stone nest. Is the Pig King sleeping in it?"
Zhang An also searched around and found nothing. Big wild boar.
But it was not without gain. He saw a large cave on the edge of the mountain wall below.
After hearing this, several people looked in the direction of Zhang An's finger, and sure enough they saw an entrance to the cave.
"How about we go down a little further and see how big this pig king is."
At this time, someone in the crowd had already started to suggest that we should take a closer look.
Hearing someone talking about it, others were a little excited to see such a large group of wild boars.
And there is still a herd of pig kings. Everyone wants to see how big this pig king is.
They all had seen the Pig King during the campaign.
I still vividly remember the pig king that looked like a hill when the army came to destroy it.
"What are you looking at? Everyone doesn't want to die?"
Huang Erye looked at the very excited people and scolded them.
"Look at the road down the mountain. If you really go down, the pigs will be frightened and no one can escape."
"You must understand why we came here. Dozens At this age, I can’t distinguish between big and small things.”
If you want to go down from the mountain, there is only a mountain road on the edge of the cliff, and there is no way to go down from other places.
This road is actually not narrow. A mountain road more than one meter wide is already very good in a place like this.
But it is easy to get down. If you are discovered by a wild boar in the sinkhole, it will be difficult to get up.
When the wild boar emerges from the sinkhole, it will be impossible for people to outrun the wild boar on this mountain road.
There are mountain walls next to it, so there will be no place to hide, and all we can do is wait to be pushed over.
"Let's go back to the village first and tell everyone about the situation."
Huang Erye summed it up and everyone has now found the whereabouts of the pigs and determined their home nest. Right here.
It's useless for a few people to stay here. It's better to go back and report the situation quickly. It is impossible for the village to solve such a huge pig herd by itself.
We have to contact the town's armed department immediately. Maybe the town's armed department doesn't have enough manpower, and we have to go to the county to ask for help.
Such a large group of wild boars cannot continue to gather.
You must know that if they stay out for one more night, many corns will suffer.
The group of people heard what Mr. Huang said and had no objections.
If you continue to stay here, you can only stand on top and look at the wild boar below, unable to do anything.
And it’s already past lunch time, and Zhang An and his group haven’t eaten yet.
Originally we planned to find a place to have lunch depending on the situation after going up the mountain. They all brought dry food with them when they came out.
But after going up the mountain, the mission of this trip has been completed.
So if you go back to the village now, you don’t have to eat these dry food.
Who wouldn’t want to come home to a hot bowl of food, even noodles?
Back in the village, Zhang An and Huang Erye’s first thought was to talk to their uncle Zhang Jianwen about the situation.
But unfortunately, when they arrived at Zhang Ping's house, they found out that the old uncle had gone to town in the morning.
So everyone can only go back to their respective homes, and we have to wait until evening to discuss this matter.
Now no one is worried about anyone going to the Wild Boar Rock.
Because when dividing the meat, Zhang Jianwen had already told everyone about the wild boar coming down the mountain.
Although there was no harvest in the fields, everyone was heartbroken.
But knowing that wild boars are rampant in the mountains during this period, everyone will not take risks again.
No matter how much you feel sorry for the crops in the field, everyone knows which is more important, crops or life.
Even if you can't lose your life, if you get rubbed by that beast, you still have to lie in bed for a while.
"You're back. You haven't eaten yet. I'm going to make something for you."
Seeing Zhang An back, Wang Fang and Su Ying in the yard felt relieved.
"Mom, just heat up a pot of rice. Our dog hasn't eaten yet."
It's almost two o'clock now, which is already lunch time. .
When Wang Fang returned home, it didn’t take much time to heat up a pot of rice.
After giving Zhang An a bowl, Wang Fang poured the rest into the dog basin and fed it to the dog.
This is how it is in rural areas. The cats and dogs eat whatever the family eats, without being picky at all.
"You came back so early. Did you have a hairstyle on the mountain?"
Zhang Jianguo in the yard saw Zhang An and the others came back after being out for a long time, so he asked curiously.
"Dad, we may be in trouble this time. The sinkhole under the cliff in the Rotten Stone Forest is completely dark with mountain rollers."
When his father asked about it, Zhang An talked about the scene he saw in the Rotten Stone Forest.
"I roughly counted, there are no less than seventy pigs in this herd, and there may be more."
"Are there really so many? That's really troublesome."
Hearing this number come out of Zhang An's mouth, Zhang Jianguo also frowned.
"That's not all. Mr. Huang said that there must be a pig king in this circle of mountain rollers. We found the largest pig's footprints on the road as big as that."
As Zhang An said, he also made a circle on the ground, which was about the same size as the Pig King's footprints they found.
"With the Pig King leading the way, it's not surprising. I didn't expect that after one crop was wiped out back then, another Pig King would appear in these years."
Hearing about the Pig King Zhang Jianguo was a little silent, but he also felt that this was reasonable.
"Okay, take care of the dogs at home during this period, and don't let them continue to enter the old forest."
Wild Boar Rock is the only way to enter the mountain, and there is such a group of local overlords After cutting off the road, it was impossible to enter the mountain.
"Zhang An, are there really so many wild boars? How much space would they take up?"
Speaking of which, Su Ying has never seen a real wild boar. The only one she has seen was during the last Chinese New Year, Zhang The domestic wild boar that Anjia killed.
“Do you think the grain drying field in the village is big?”
“It’s very big.” Su Ying nodded. Can a place dedicated to drying grain in a village not be big?
“If the wild boars in the pit were placed on the drying field that day, they would have to fill at least half of the field.”
By the afternoon, the matter of nearly a hundred wild boars in the Rotten Stone Forest had already been discussed. Word spread in the village.
The most exaggerated thing is that the little kids in the village came over to ask Zhang An.
Is the big pig king in Yezhu Rock really weighing more than a thousand kilograms?
Zhang An was stunned after hearing this. Their group of people entered the mountain and didn’t even see the Pig King’s face.
Why do some people say that the Pig King weighs more than a thousand kilograms? Mr. Huang estimated it and only said it was more than six hundred kilograms.
No need to think about it, this must be someone who likes to brag among the people who went into the mountain in the morning and told everyone stories.
When I heard Zhang An say that they didn’t even see the Pig King.
Those skinny monkeys who were originally very excited were as disappointed as they were withered.
After sending them away, Zhang Ancai lay down in the yard and began to take a nap.
I walked a lot of distance into the mountains today, although I didn’t feel tired.
But after taking some time off, Sleepyhead is still a little over the top.
Not long after, Zhang An fell asleep on the recliner.
In the yard, the big dogs of Zhang An's family were also lying on their stomachs, sleeping soundly.
"Wake up Zhang An, it's late, don't sleep."
I don't know how long I slept. When Zhang An was sleeping soundly, he was suddenly woken up by Li Hongbin.
Zhang An rubbed his eyes and realized that it was indeed getting late. The sun had already reached the top of the mountain and was about to set.
"When did you come back."
Li Hongbin has not been at home for several days. Zhang An knew that he went to the construction site a few days ago.
Although there has been nothing going on at the construction site he contracted recently, there is no need to go there every day to guard it.
But you still have to go over and keep an eye on it from time to time, otherwise trouble may easily occur.
“Not long after I came back, I heard that hundreds of wild boars gathered together in our mountains, and there was also a giant pig king weighing over a thousand pounds. What they said was so mysterious, is this true?”< br>
Yes, there is a group of lame monkeys in front of us.
Now even Li Hongbin, who is in his thirties, has been fooled.
"There are indeed wild boar herds, but they are not that exaggerated. There are probably seventy or eighty of them. As for the pig king, we haven't even seen it. Who knows how big it is."
< br>Zhang An rolled his eyes, what is the concept of hundreds of wild boars.
A group of naked wild boars launched a monster siege on Changqing Village, which was too much for the village.
I don’t know who is so good at bragging, or there is something wrong with the person who is the messenger.
This is not just false propaganda, it is meant to cause panic.
Besides, this wild boar weighing more than a thousand kilograms is as big as a big buffalo.
Only people like Li Hongbin who have never seen it believe it.
If there really was such a big pig king, he would have brought his men to attack the city a few years ago.
