My 1995 Small Farm.

Chapter 510 The Strange Pig King
Beside them, the lynx stared wide-eyed in terror.

Is Fugui really this wild after drinking too much?

She covered his mouth right after he finished peeing.

And the pants aren't even pulled up yet.

Sensing the lynx's struggle, Chen Ling tightened his grip even more.

He quickly held his breath, not daring to make a sound.

Who would have thought that nothing would happen in the first half of the night, but then the Wild Boar King would come over in the second half?

The wild boar hunt was raging all over the mountains, and the bonfire party illuminated almost half of Sanxiping. Such a big commotion didn't scare it away, and it still dared to come over.

"Ok?"

At this point, the lynx finally realized that something was wrong.

In the darkness, the 'tap-tap...tap...' footsteps grew clearer and louder.

Even though I can't see things clearly.

But the lynx knew that what came was definitely not human.

Otherwise, Chen Ling wouldn't have reacted this way.

Moreover, judging from the sound, he uncontrollably conjured up the image of a monster in his mind, trotting its large hooves as it approached the village.

It looks like they want to devour the entire village.

This is all because they talked about too many mountain spirits and monsters when they were drinking earlier.

The Miao village has no electricity and no lights.

The loudspeaker at the village chief's house is the kind that's connected to a large battery.

Therefore, it is extremely dark on this mountain at night.

On a night without stars or moon, after the campfire goes out, the darkness is as thick as if ink had been poured on it, and it is no exaggeration to say that you can't see your hand in front of your face.

In this situation, you can hear the 'tap-tap...tap...' footsteps in the darkness, and the heavy breathing like a broken bellows, 'huff-huff...huff...'.

Even a daring lynx couldn't help but feel uneasy and tense.

Chen Ling was afraid that the lynx wouldn't know what was going on.

With his other hand, he slowly wrote the three characters 'Wild Boar King' on his back.

really.

After finishing writing, Lynx's body stiffened for a moment, then he nodded to Chen Ling to indicate that he understood, and gently pushed away Chen Ling's hand that was covering his mouth.

The two crouched under the stockade wall, huddled in the darkness, too afraid to make any sudden movements.

Wild boars don't have very good eyesight, but their sense of smell and hearing are better than a dog's.

The slightest disturbance can be detected immediately.

Moreover, it was a wild boar king weighing over 800 jin (approximately 400 kg).

To have grown to this level in the mountains, regardless of combat ability, one's reconnaissance and survival skills are absolutely top-notch.

"Tap...tap..."

The sound of hooves grew closer. The wild boar king seemed to have arrived near the local temple, sniffing intently at the extinguished campfire, the leftover bones, and the scraps of food.

Only then did he slowly and leisurely walk towards the gate of Ranjia Village.

Chen Ling and Lynx immediately became nervous and their palms started sweating.

They weren't carrying guns or knives. If they were found, do you think they could escape?

Climbing over the wall probably won't work either.

Wild boars weighing over 800 pounds, once they unleash their power, can't stop the village walls, let alone the brick and wood houses.

If it were just Chen Ling alone, he could simply go up and take this enormous creature into his cave.

But unfortunately it is not.

Moreover, many villagers were still awake. If they acted rashly and disturbed the pig king, causing a great disturbance in the village, many people would likely be in danger.

Xiongjiazhai serves as a cautionary tale.

They did try to shoot, but this kind of wild boar king is impossible to harm or break through unless you shoot it in the eye.

The skull and the thick armor on the body were simply beyond human imagination.

In the blink of an eye, countless thoughts flashed through Chen Ling's mind, and Lynx even began to break out in a cold sweat.

I racked my brains for countless solutions.

Right now, they dare not move an inch.

"Hu Chi... Hu Chi..."

With heavy breathing, the wild boar king circled the village wall, sniffing around with its long nose, and instead of entering the village gate, it headed straight for Chen Ling and his companion.

Chen Ling and the lynx immediately held their breath, widened their eyes, and were ready to run away at any moment.

Chen Ling was able to see the entire appearance of the wild boar king more clearly.

In an instant, he seemed to see a black elephant.

This is not an exaggeration.

Anyone who has seen a wild boar knows that it has a large head, a thick neck, and all its strength is concentrated in the front half of its body, while the back of its neck gets thinner and thinner.

The same goes for the king pig.

It's even taller than a water buffalo, and its head is even bigger. At first glance, it looks just like a slightly smaller elephant.

The two or three hundred-pound pigs they had hunted earlier looked like little children playing in the mud in front of adults in front of this creature.

This wild boar king is not only enormous.

It has a pair of pale yellow fangs, crescent-shaped, about a foot long, and sharp as daggers.

If you were to flick or toss this at someone, it would definitely rip them open and shatter half of their bones.

In addition, its bristles are extremely stiff, black, and coarse.

Its body was covered in wounds, stained with mud, grass, iron filings, and dried blood, making it look extremely ferocious and terrifying.

Chen Ling could also see its protruding genitals and enormous testicles through the large gap under its legs.

This guy, even a typical mongrel with long legs could run past him.

suddenly.

The Wild Boar King walked over to the watchtower and suddenly stopped when it was less than five meters away from Chen Ling and the Lynx.

With its enormous head tilted back and its nose pointing skyward, it twitched a few times with heavy breathing.

Just as Chen Ling and Lynx were on the verge of running away in a panic.

The wild boar king glanced at them, then turned around and slowly walked away in the direction it had come from.

Five or six minutes later, the sound of the wild boar king's footsteps faded into the distance.

Chen Ling and the lynx finally breathed a sigh of relief and slowly stood up.

"What happened? The pig king must have discovered that we were hiding here, so why did he suddenly leave?"

"...I don't know."

Chen Ling frowned. For a moment just now, he really had the urge to take the pig king into his cave and kill it when it charged at him.

There's no other reason than the overwhelming sense of oppression emanating from this colossal creature.

Despite his arrogance.

But when I actually faced it, I was still a little nervous.

This feels quite different from facing a strange fish in the water.

The two walked out from this side of the village wall, whispering to each other.

Someone from the village came out with a lantern. They had noticed that the group hadn't gone back after urinating for so long and were worried that they might have drunk too much and gotten into trouble, so they quickly came out to check on them.

Upon seeing the people arrive, Chen Ling and his companion couldn't help but feel relieved.

Luckily they didn't come out earlier, otherwise the wild boar king would definitely not have left for no reason.

So he led them to the hoof prints left on the ground and told them what had just happened.

Everyone was startled, and the lantern almost fell to the ground.

"This, this, this... the Wild Boar King has been here..."

Why didn't the dog bark?

Indeed, not a single dog barked just now. They don't bark at the sight of pigs.

This is incredible for a mountain dog that frequently hunts boars.

It's not surprising that the dog didn't bark...

The strange thing is, this pig king must have spotted us just now, so why did it suddenly leave?

Chen Ling couldn't understand it either.

This was the first time he had ever been so close to a wild boar.

no experience.

"Yes, why is that?"

The lynx raised an eyebrow: "Is it full, or did it think we were dead because we didn't dare to breathe?"

He said that because if wild boars in the mountains hurt someone, they will not stop until they have killed that person. Even if the person is not moving, they will still go up to the person and sniff around to see if they are still alive.

This refers to a common wild boar.

But since this wild boar king has been eating human bones, why would it care whether the person is dead or not?
"Probably not..."

An older middle-aged man shook his head and looked at the section of the stockade wall near the watchtower.

"Hmm? Could this pig have smelled the explosives here?"

However, a large amount of explosives had already been prepared inside the stockade wall, in case the wild boar king came, and they planned to make 'wild boar cannons' after dawn.

"Seeing you two hiding and smelling the explosives, the Pig King probably thought it was a trap, which is why he turned and left."

This explanation is really absurd.

But for a moment, no one could think of any other reason for the wild boar king's strange behavior.

and.

The wild animals in the mountains have clashed with humans several times and harbor deep hatred for them. Why would they be so kind as to let people go?
If I really can't figure it out, I'll just stop thinking about it.

It was late at night, and they still had to go down the mountain to go home at dawn, so Chen Ling and the other person didn't say anything more.

After learning that the hunting team would be taking turns on guard duty outside, the two went back to sleep. However, they were still worried about the matter and feared that they might encounter another accident, so Chen Ling made ample preparations in the cave.

They even prepared powerful veterinary drugs and baits, which could be applied to weapons or used as bait; even elephants would fall victim to them.

Only then did he feel at ease lying in bed to rest.

Everything remained calm until dawn.

It wasn't until morning that the hunting party informed the three villages about the wild boar king's appearance at night.

That's when things suddenly became lively.

Many people came to Chen Ling and Lynx to inquire about the situation.

Some were trying various methods to hurriedly make wild boar cannons.

Then, worried that they might encounter danger if they left today, he said he would accompany them down the mountain.

Unexpectedly, the lynx said, "I'm not leaving yet; I'll stay on the mountain."

Upon encountering a wild boar king, a sight rarely seen in a century, the lynx felt a fire burning within him. After much thought throughout the night, he decided to stay.

They accompanied the Miao village's hunting team to deal with this pig king.

Chen Ling thought for a moment and said, "Then you stay here. We'll go home first to let you know we're safe. I'll bring Heiwa and the other two over later."

"This……"

Before Wang Qingwen and the others could say anything, Chen Ling waved his hand and said, "Brothers, you go back and do your work. Jusheng, hurry up and make your pickled vegetables and chili sauce. You don't need to run around with me like this."

"Well, fine. Anyway, Qingzhong will be coming here a lot in the future, so it's better to get rid of this beast."

Wang Qingwen and his brother smiled at Chen Ling. They knew their brother-in-law's abilities, and saying anything more would only make them seem fussy.

In fact, Chen Ling did not come solely to hunt the Pig King.

The rarity of the wild boar king is only one aspect.

Besides the pig king, he also couldn't bear to part with the leopard.

So I wanted to bring my dog ​​along, to hunt boars and catch leopards at the same time.

Finally, Lynx and Zhao Dahai stayed in Ranjia Village, while Chen Ling and the others went down the mountain with a hunting team after breakfast.

……

On the road.

Upon learning that Chen Ling was going to bring dogs to help, Jinwa and the others said, "Brother Ling, this Pig King can't even be hurt by a gun, why bring dogs? Last night, the Pig King just took a stroll, and all the dogs in several villages were so scared that they didn't dare to bark."

If you actually meet them face-to-face, you'd be lucky not to run away.

Although hunting dogs are brave, they are far inferior to wild boars in terms of size and strength. They rely more on their sense of smell, speed, and teamwork to harass and restrain wild boars.

After immobilizing the wild boar, wait for someone to come and deliver the fatal blow.

If this is how it is with ordinary wild boars, then it must be even more so with the king of wild boars.

The hunting dogs are no longer of much use.

"Haha, Jinwa, you'll see when the time comes. Your brother Ling's dogs aren't ordinary dogs. You probably don't know, but your brother Ling has even trained tigers. How could the hunting dogs he raises be the same as others?"

Wang Qingzhong laughed heartily.

The young men of the hunting team were stunned and stepped forward to ask questions.

Upon learning that he had actually trained tigers and even filmed tiger-fighting scenes, I was immediately filled with admiration.

"Hey, last night Brother Zhong Lin seemed to have mentioned something about a tiger. We were so busy having Brother Ling take pictures that we didn't ask any more questions. Turns out there's something so impressive about it."

Muwa felt she found out too late.

Chen Ling smiled and said, "Yesterday, Lynx said that we went to the city a few days ago to visit the two tigers at the zoo, but when we heard about what happened here, we couldn't go anymore and rushed over here."

As the group was talking, the hunting dogs in front started barking.

Upon closer inspection, there were two grass markers nearby.

Wang Jusheng immediately said, "We've been to this place before, the place where we saw the leopard picking up the monkey."

"Yes, this is the place, but the few sections of the monkey tail that Lingzi left behind are gone."

Wang Qingwen echoed this.

Chen Ling looked around and noticed faint plum blossom marks. "The leopard came back and took the monkey tails with it."

The monkey's tail was the bait he used.

The leopard turned back, but because of the wild boar king, it did not follow the scent to the vicinity of the village.

But knowing that it reacts to the bait is enough.

Ignoring the cacophony of voices discussing the leopard, Chen Ling silently thought to himself, "Once I bring my dog ​​over and finish off the Pig King, I'll go catch you."

……

Overall, the return trip went relatively smoothly.

During the day, wild animals do not roam freely, and they will mostly keep their distance from people.

When they arrived at Fenglei Town at noon, Wang Qingzhong led the packhorses back to Yaowangzhai.

Guo Xinping had to take care of Wang Zhenzhen and the two children while also managing the cultural T-shirts in the village, which kept her very busy over time.

Wang Qingwen found a few bicycles at the school and followed Chen Ling back to Chenwangzhuang.

Before the summer vacation ended, the couple planned to stay there and help Chen Ling's family.

So the group rode their bikes back to Chenwangzhuang around 8 p.m.

I've been away on this trip for several days and haven't been home. My wife and kids aren't with me this time either.

Once home, Chen Ling truly felt how wonderful it was to be back.

I was planning to take Heiwa and Xiaojin back early the next morning to have a big fight with that wild boar king.

As soon as he got home, his wife's gentle words of concern and longing over the past few days, and his son's giggling and climbing all over him, made him not want to go back at all.

I thought I'd take a couple of days off now that I'm back.

The wild boar king went there once, but who knows when he'll go again.

As for the leopard?

In the mountains, it won't run away.

Besides, tomorrow is the seventh day of the seventh lunar month. Although there's no such thing as Valentine's Day these days, the village is going to hold a temple fair the day after tomorrow. It's a happy and lively event, so I'd better stay home with my wife and son for a couple of days.
