Chapter 79 Battle against Wild Boar
Everyone changed their faces.
The three Ye An brothers stood next to each other in fear, "Why did the wild boar come down the mountain?"
Shen Yi asked Su Chunlin to close the door with a solemn expression. He just took out the sickle and woodcutter for self-defense, and before he walked out of the yard, he saw a figure appearing in the snow not far from Su's house.
Song Yongnian's face turned dark, "You all saw it, right?"
"Quick! Close the door!" Han jumped up in panic.
"It's too late." Shen Yi rushed to the gate, quickly closed the courtyard door, then climbed to the top of the wall and shouted loudly, "The wild boar is coming, the wild boar is coming, everyone hide quickly!"
He shouted three times and looked around to make sure there were no villagers nearby before he breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, the wild boar had arrived at the door of Su's house, arched twice on the ground, and suddenly bumped into the courtyard door.
The people in the yard were terrified.
Song Yongnian urged Ye An and the others to enter the main room with Su Chunlin's family and bolt the door. He himself climbed up the wall with great difficulty to fight side by side with Shen Yi.
"What to do now?" Song Yongnian turned around and waited for Shen Yi to make up his mind.
There was no trace of panic on Shen Yi's stern face, and his eyes were always firmly fixed on the wild boar, "Why are you asking me?"
"Because I believe in you, you are a powerful person." Song Yongnian said firmly.
Shen Yi glanced at him rarely, then turned his attention to the wild boar again, and muttered: "This wild boar is visually estimated to weigh more than 300 pounds. It is a strong and powerful guy. It will be difficult for the two of us to fight against each other. The best way is to It drives away."
"How to catch it?" Song Yongnian stared at the wild boar and was very panicked. He dared to fight with the small wild boar. This kind of adult wild boar cannot be fought head-on. If it humps it, half of his life will be lost.
Shen Yi thought for a while and said hesitantly: "Use fire?"
"Okay! I'm going to get firewood now." Song Yongnian returned to the Su family yard.
Su Chunlin heard the commotion and boldly opened the door. Seeing that Song Yongnian needed firewood, he immediately got out, led him to the firewood shed, and dug out all the flammable wheat straw, dead branches and leaves.
The whole woodshed was filled with dust.
Song Yongnian didn't care about the dirt and handed the firewood to Shen Yi on the wall.
I saw Shen Yi arrogantly throwing down wheat straw and dead leaves and branches to expand a circle. During this period, he also tried to use the branches to drive away the wild boar. Unexpectedly, he angered the wild boar and slammed the door wildly.
Su Chunlin was so frightened that he hid in the main room again.
Song Yongnian didn't know what was going on outside, so he could only bite the bullet and continue to hand out firewood.
Those loud noises were like a shock to the soul, and those who were less timid would probably faint from fear.
Seeing that the firewood had almost trapped the wild boar, Shen Yi lit two handfuls of straw, one on the left and the other on the right, and threw them to the outside of the firewood circle.
When the outside was burning, the wild boar was still struggling to open the door. When it realized something was wrong and wanted to escape, Shen Yi and Song Yongnian were adding firewood below.
Assisted by the northwest wind, the fire grew stronger and stronger, even touching the wall.
A wild boar howled horribly from below, as well as an increasingly violent banging on the door.
Song Yongnian's heart pounded when he heard this, "Can this door hold up?"
Shen Yi nodded uncertainly, "It should be ok. My father-in-law specially asked a carpenter to reinforce it."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a creak, the door bolt broke into two pieces, and a ball of fire rushed into the yard, knocking over the stone tables and benches, and knocking over the firewood piled in the corner.
Sparks jumped up from the pile of firewood. Shen Yi's expression changed drastically, "Not good!"
After that, he resolutely climbed down the wall, found the right position with the woodcutter, and chopped down at the wild boar.
The wail of the wild boar pierced the sky, making the hearts of the people in the room beat like drums.
Just when the wild boar fought back desperately, Song Yongnian rushed over in time to make a stabbing blow, and then ran away quickly.
Now the wild boar couldn't run at all, and even its whining gradually weakened. It walked slowly around for a few more times like a headless fly, and finally fell to the ground.
Shen Yi and Song Yongnian looked at each other and let out a long sigh of relief.
He quickly grabbed the snow to put out the lit pile of firewood.
"Father-in-law, mother-in-law, it's safe!" Shen Yi shouted.
The door to the main room opened in response.
Su Chunlin was the first to rush out holding a stool, followed by a group of pale little tails.
Everyone was dumbfounded when they saw the wild boar burned to a black mass in the yard, and then when they looked at the messy yard.
Song Yongnian ran to find Su Changxi.
After a while, villagers came over to help one after another.
As soon as the guys entered the yard, they subconsciously stayed away from the wild boars. While working, they couldn't help but look at them secretly.
After Shen Yi finished his work, he was the first to step forward and kicked the wild boar twice. After making sure that the wild boar was completely dead, he said: "It's okay."
Everyone swarmed up and started talking among themselves.
"Why did the perfectly good wild boar come down the mountain? Is it possible that there is no food in the mountain?"
"But why did it run to Chunlin's house? Could it be that it knew that Chunlin's house had food?"
Su Changfu touched his chin and thought, "It's probably the scent of peanut oil that attracted it."
As he said that, he looked at Shen Yi with a thankful face, "It's a good thing you're selling oil here today, otherwise we would have to wait until the wild boar caused trouble before we knew it had entered the village. Even a man might not be able to escape from such a big guy if he encounters it. , if you are hit by an old man or a child, there is no way to survive!”
When everyone thought about it, this was not the case! They all thanked Shen Yi.
Shen Yi looked modest and did not dare to take credit, "It was Song Yongnian who discovered that the wild boar had entered the village. If you want to thank him, thank him."
Song Yongnian shook his head solemnly, "I found the wild boar's footprints at the foot of the mountain. Some of the shallow areas were covered with snow. It is estimated that the wild boar entered the village yesterday, but it has not found its target yet. It is most likely the same as the township chief guessed. , It was Brother Shen’s peanut oil that brought it out.”
Su Chunlin chuckled, "You don't have to be humble, I saw you fighting the wild boar with my own eyes. Both of you are great contributors to our village!"
"Dad, aren't you hiding in the house with us?" Su Ming asked innocently, making everyone laugh.
Su Chunlin's face turned red, and he glared at his troubled son. He licked his face and looked at Su Changxi, "Brother, you have also seen how my good yard has been ruined by wild boars, and my home. The door was half burned and half broken. It must be rebuilt, and the outer wall must be painted with yellow mud. Otherwise, it will cost money! I have to share some wild boar meat to recover the loss. "
It is an unwritten rule in the village that whenever a wild boar enters the village, no matter who kills it, they must take some of the pig-killing vegetables and treat them to the villagers.
Su Changxi was a little speechless, and laughed and cursed: "Your son-in-law helped kill the wild boar, how can it not benefit you? Don't worry, we won't take advantage of you. So, just get 34 pounds and put some noodles in it." , stew it in a pot, and everyone can have a bite of meat. "
"Okay!" This was what Su Chunlin was waiting for, and he immediately went out to find the pig butcher to help.
