Chapter 449: Driving Wild Boars
"Fork!" Zhao Dong had just thrown away the torch in his hand. At this moment, he shouted and snatched the triangular fork used for farm work from the person behind him.
He leaned back and held the fork higher than his shoulder. His body was stable to support the rotation of his waist, and power burst out from his arms as he threw with force.
The triangular fork that was usually used to fork grass or other things flew towards the largest wild boar.
At the same time, Zhao Dong whistled not too loudly.
Following Zhao Dong's action, Zhao Nan and Zhao Bei also threw the bamboo poles in their hands towards that direction. Some of them threw their tools reluctantly, and some picked up dirt from somewhere and threw them at the wild boar.
It is not very harmful, but very intimidating.
The wild boar was frightened and retreated.
The pig was smart, and the people understood the situation better. Seeing the wild boar retreat, the people present roared even louder.
On the other side, when Dahei heard the whistle, he had already run far away and was not affected.
Now seeing that the villagers no longer threw things, it rushed forward again and barked fiercely at the wild boar.
In particular, the wild boar that had just been bitten by Dahei seemed to be frightened this time. It turned around and ran towards the mountain. As it ran, several half-grown piglets followed it.
When the sow saw her children being scared away, she hurriedly chased after them.
The situation reversed rapidly, and only the seemingly tough big black pig was left in a stalemate with everyone else.
"Brother Dong, are you sure you can kill him?" was the first sentence Zhao Nan said today.
Zhao Dong answered without thinking, "No, it affects our vision at night. Drive it away."
"Here!" At this moment, Old Yang moved to Zhao Dong's side and handed Zhao Dong the stick that Gu Qingqing's family used to prop up the door.
Zhao Dong took the stick, narrowed his eyes, and suddenly roared "Ah". At this moment, his aura became much stronger, and he ran towards the wild boar with the stick raised.
The wild boar was frightened when he saw this. Seeing his wife and children running away, he retracted his fangs and turned around to run away.
As soon as it ran away, the villagers, who had grown bolder, chased it with great momentum, roaring and chasing it all the way to the foot of the mountain. They only stopped when they saw that the pigs had disappeared without a trace.
It was a long time before someone in the crowd said, "Oh, I was scared to death. I thought there was going to be a fight tonight."
"That's right. It was easy to kill one or two of them before, but when there are a lot of them, they are not afraid of people at all."
"Don't mention it, the dog from Wuyan's family is really fierce. I thought it was going to fight the big wild boar at first. My heart was in my throat at that time. But this puppy was smart. It jumped over the wild boar and attacked the piglet directly."
"What a good dog!"
At this time, the good dog that the villagers were talking about was licking its lips, as if it was disgusted by the smell of the wild boar's blood.
"Okay, it looks like the wild boars won't come again today. Whose land was this just now? Let's go and see the damage." Following Zhao Dong's words, everyone walked back to the land.
When they arrived at the field, some people who stayed there gathered up the farm tools, bamboo poles and sticks that had just been thrown out, waiting for people to claim them.
The sorghum belonged to Uncle Wang in the village. A large area of sorghum had fallen down. Under the limited light of the torch, one could see that many of the sorghum ears had only been bitten, and most of them were still on the sorghum stalks.
But the millet fields nearby were not so good. A large area was eaten up and no ears of grain were left.
Wu Shan was there too, but he was a little old and didn't step forward to confront the wild boar.
"This is Uncle Niu's land. Why didn't he come today?"
As the moment was silent, no one said anything else.
Wu Shan turned to Wang Liang and said, "Your land is already like this. I don't think the wild boars will come back today. You don't need to stay here any longer. Go home and come back tomorrow morning to check. Cut the remaining crops and don't eat them. It's not worth it if you get sick from eating them."
"Village Chief, you guys go back first. I can't sleep if I go back. It's almost dawn. I'd better stay here for a while."
"What are you doing here? The wild boar was just scared away by us. If it runs back again after getting confused, it will not come to eat the food, but to eat you." Wu Shan felt uncomfortable watching the destroyed crops, but human safety was the top priority.
Then several people nearby also tried to persuade them, and finally they brought all the people who were guarding the field back.
......
Gu Qingqing, Lu Xiaocao, and Li Xin were all standing in the front yard. When they heard voices coming from outside the yard, Li Xin stretched his neck and shouted to the sky, "Grandpa Yang, are you back?"
Wang Wang Wang ~
Dahei's voice was heard outside, but this time the barking sound was the same as usual, filled with excitement and happiness.
"Aunt, they're back. I'll go open the door." Li Xin went to open the door. Gu Qingqing saw Old Yang and Dahei coming in, and asked hurriedly, "Uncle Yang, what's the situation over there? Are the wild boars really coming down the mountain? Have Zhao Dong and the others returned?"
"Yes, the three of them went back. There were six or seven wild boars in the field, two big ones, and four or five medium-sized ones, and they ate up a lot of sorghum in Wang Liang's field. Oh, and there was also a family surnamed Niu nearby. I heard the village chief say Uncle Niu, but I don't know who he is. The millet he planted was also eaten up. It's a good thing they were discovered at night. If they hadn't been discovered, I don't know how much food would have been consumed to feed the six or seven wild boars."
Old Yang said a little tiredly.
But when he said this, he became lively again and started to talk about Dahei's performance.
When Dahei heard his name being mentioned, his tail almost shook like an electric fan, as if he was waiting for his hostess to praise him.
After hearing this, Gu Qingqing raised her hand and touched his dog's head, "Dahei is great."
"Daxin, go and put the stick behind the door and check whether the door is closed tightly." Old Yang ordered Li Xin.
Seeing this, Gu Qingqing said, "Uncle Yang must be tired after all the trouble today. You should go back and rest. It's still some time before dawn, so you can still sleep for a while."
"Okay, I'm going back to sleep. You guys should go back soon too. Xiaocao has to go to town tomorrow."
After understanding the general situation, Gu Qingqing went back to her room and went to sleep.
......
The next day, when Geng Chunhua and several other people came to work, Gu Qingqing heard them say that the sorghum fields that had been ravaged by wild boars last night had to be cut today.
Gu Qingqing was a little surprised. "Isn't it too early to cut the ears now? This will cause a lot of loss in production."
"Who says it's not true? But what he said makes sense. He is the only one who grows sorghum, while other families grow millet. He is worried that wild boars will come and eat his sorghum again. If they eat it again, he would rather harvest less and keep the wild boars from coming to his field. He is worried that the wild boars will remember his field and come back next year."
