Chapter 511 Hunting Wild Boars
Chapter 511 Hunting Wild Boars
Not long after Liu Jingxue returned home, Ji Shihu came over with his hunting dogs.
Hearing the knock on the door, Liu Jingxue hurried to open it and saw Ji Shihu standing outside with a hunting dog at his feet.
"Brother Ji, it's you. I thought it would be Uncle Ji who came."
“My father was afraid that you would be in a hurry to go up the mountain, so he told me that I was fast and asked me to run for you.
You also know Zhuifeng, so there’s no need for me to introduce him.”
Liu Jingxue touched Zhuifeng's head and said, "Brother Ji, will Zhuifeng listen to me?"
"Don't worry, it can understand simple words, such as asking it to find nearby animals and hunt them."
"Then how can I get it to go down the mountain to report the news and find someone to transport the prey up the mountain?" Liu Jingxue asked.
The reason she agreed to bring the hunting dog into the mountains was to have it come down the mountain to report news and lead people up the mountain to look for prey, so she had to ask clearly.
When Ji Shihu heard this, he couldn't help but cough and blushed. "Just tell it to go find dad or brother, that's all."
When Liu Jingxue heard this, a smile appeared on her face.
In modern times, many people keep pets and treat them as their sons and daughters. She didn't expect that in this era, Uncle Ji and his friends also treat hunting dogs as their own sons and brothers.
"Okay, I got it. I'll tell Zhuifeng to go down the mountain to look for his brother."
Hearing this, Ji Shihu's face turned even redder. He lowered his head and pretended to admonish Zhuifeng, "Zhuifeng, remember to listen to your sister."
After hearing this, Zhuifeng barked twice, as if in agreement.
Well, Liu Jingxue originally wanted to tease Ji Shihu for having a dog brother, but she didn't expect that after he said that, she also had a dog brother.
"Xiaoxue, I'm leaving now. I haven't finished my morning work yet. I have to go back to the fields to work."
"Okay, see you, Brother Ji."
Since the hounds had arrived, Liu Jingxue planned to go into the mountains immediately. As for how to solve the problem of lunch when she went into the mountains, she had stored a lot of food in her space warehouse, and she could just take some out to fill her stomach when the time came.
With Zhuifeng around, Liu Jingxue didn't plan to enter the space by herself.
What if I disappear out of thin air and Zhuifeng doesn’t see me and runs around everywhere? I will have to run all over the mountain to find it back.
As for bringing Zhuifeng into the space, Liu Jingxue had no such plan.
After all, it was raised by someone else and trained to be very smart. If it entered the space, absorbed the spiritual energy, and underwent some mutation, it would be difficult to explain to others.
After leading Zhuifeng for a distance into the mountains, Liu Jingxue saw several wild boars, big and small, appear in her consciousness.
Some wild boar groups had seven or eight wild boars, and some had only three or four, but Liu Jingxue had no intention of touching them.
These are wild boars in the outskirts, some distance away from the areas where villagers often move around.
Now that the grass is green and the birds are singing, and food is plentiful, unless there are special circumstances, wild boars will not leave their range of activity and run outside, and they will not pose a threat to the villagers.
However, this distance is within the hunting range of the winter hunting team, so I can leave them to the hunting team to avoid harming them and leaving the hunting team with nothing to gain.
Liu Jingxue is going to go into the mountains today to wreak havoc on the wild boars there.
During her previous trips into the mountains, she had discovered many large herds of wild boars, some of which even had more than twenty wild boars of all sizes.
However, she didn't plan to attack so many wild boars today. She planned to find a smaller group of wild boars, with only seven or eight wild boars of different sizes.
Even if she were to get one more person to the periphery, it would be difficult to fool the villagers.
Creatures with four legs are faster than those with two legs.
Although Liu Jingxue did not use her full strength, she still used about 40% to 50% of her real kung fu, but Zhuifeng still followed closely beside her.
Seeing that Zhuifeng could keep up with her, Liu Jingxue couldn't help but gradually speed up. When she felt that Zhuifeng was about to fall behind her, she slowed down slightly so that it could keep pace with her.
The man and the dog soon entered the deep mountains, and Liu Jingxue slowed down a bit.
The deep mountains are different from the outer areas. There are more large animals. Although she is not afraid, Zhuifeng is still around from time to time.
Since we have brought it into the mountains, we must bring it back intact and return it to its owner.
After using her spiritual sense to search for a group of wild boars that met her requirements, Liu Jingxue called out to Zhuifeng and headed straight for the destination, "Zhuifeng, come this way."
On the way, they passed by an area where wild animals were active. Liu Jingxue and her dog originally planned to go straight there in stealth, but Zhuifeng had a very sharp nose and smelled the scent. He refused to go that way and even barked at Liu Jingxue to change the route.
This made Liu Jingxue feel that it was not so convenient to bring Zhuifeng in.
There was no way to reason with Zhuifeng, so Liu Jingxue could only follow Zhuifeng's instructions and take a different route.
"Forget it, I'll just come alone next time, without bringing anyone or the dog with me." Liu Jingxue couldn't help but complain.
Finally, they followed Zhuifeng's idea and walked near the wild boar group. Zhuifeng seemed to smell something and started barking softly, as if to remind Liu Jingxue.
Patting Zhuifeng on the head, Liu Jingxue reminded him, "Zhuifeng, don't shout. Let's sneak over there and don't alarm them."
Zhuifeng seemed to understand what Liu Jingxue said and stopped shouting, but continued to dig the soil on the spot, as if he was preparing to gather strength and rush forward.
Liu Jingxue took the bow from behind and put the arrow on it.
Liu Jingxue was alone in a group of wild boars like this one, so she couldn't surround them. It would be best for her to shoot a few big wild boars quietly first.
When other wild boars discovered something was wrong and saw Liu Jingxue and wanted to attack her, Liu Jingxue would not be so flustered as to deal with multiple wild boars at once, thus allowing the other wild boars to escape.
Zhuifeng was indeed a good hunting assistant trained by Uncle Ji. When Liu Jingxue shot and killed several wild boars, which alarmed other wild boars, Zhuifeng immediately rushed forward to block the fastest wild boar when some wild boars turned around and tried to escape.
Since she had been discovered by them, Liu Jingxue no longer hesitated and just wanted to kill the enemy as quickly as possible. She shot three more arrows, and the only wild boar left in the entire herd was the one blocked by Zhuifeng.
Because Zhuifeng was fighting with a wild boar, Liu Jingxue didn't dare to shoot an arrow for fear of hurting Zhuifeng, so she walked forward and took over from Zhuifeng to fight the big wild boar.
Although all its companions were killed, the wild boar did not take the four-legged human in front of it seriously. After discovering that its opponent had changed, it rushed towards Liu Jingxue regardless.
At the same time, it kept making pig-like grunting sounds from its mouth.
Liu Jingxue didn't want to get entangled with it any longer, so she threw a punch, hitting the pig's head right between its eyebrows.
The wild boar fell to the ground with a thud.
Liu Jingxue took a look and found a total of eight big wild boars and three small wild boars. The harvest was still good.
He waved his hand and put all the wild boars into the space warehouse to prevent their blood from all flowing out. This would make it impossible to make blood sausage and make the pig-killing dish one less delicious dish.
Looking at the prey that disappeared out of thin air, Zhuifeng barked in confusion, ran to the place where the wild boar's corpse was, and smelled it carefully.
"Okay, Zhuifeng, I've got the prey. Let's go back now."
After Liu Jingxue finished speaking, she turned around and walked back.
Zhuifeng barked a few times towards the place where the prey disappeared, then ran after Liu Jingxue, but looked back from time to time to see if the prey would appear again.
Liu Jingxue pretended not to see it.
After leading Zhuifeng to the periphery and walking a distance further, Liu Jingxue released the prey and said to Zhuifeng, "Zhuifeng, go back and find your brother."
Seeing the prey reappear, Zhuifeng excitedly ran around the pile of prey several times, barking excitedly like a dog, and turned a deaf ear to Liu Jingxue's words.
Liu Jingxue had to raise her voice again and repeated, "Zhuifeng, go down the mountain quickly to call your brother and bring the prey back."
Zhuifeng, whose excitement had passed, finally heard what Liu Jingxue said. After barking at Liu Jingxue twice, he ran down the mountain.
Liu Jingxue was still worried that it didn't understand what she said, so she followed it with her spiritual sense. Only after she found that it had indeed returned to the village did she feel relieved.
Fearing that the smell of blood would attract other animals, and that too much blood would be lost and blood sausage would not be made, Liu Jingxue put the prey into the space warehouse.
Time stands still in the warehouse. Things remain the same as they were when they were put in. This way, not too much pork will be lost.
