Return to 1983 Hunting Xing'an Mountains

Chapter 729 Shot! Big Hammer Swings Wild Boar Chasing After Me!

In the darkness, dazzling fire snakes shot out in all directions, scattering the originally orderly herds of pigs as they fled in all directions. The group of men wielding Type 56 semi-automatic rifles showed no mercy, rapidly pulling the triggers with their index fingers, attempting to kill as many pigs as possible as they turned around.

Just three or four seconds later, Xu Ning emptied the magazine. He had killed six or seven wild boars, and the others were also good shooters. With more than 20 Type 56 semi-automatic rifles, they killed nearly 20 wild boars!
Among them, Xu Laonian was quite excited. His arm, holding the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle, trembled slightly. He turned the muzzle and fired two shots, and then saw a wild boar fall to the ground. Liu Daming clapped and applauded beside him...

Xu Ning quickly loaded the magazine full of bullets. After looking up and seeing the movement of the pigs, he was about to get up when he was startled by a loud noise.

boom!
The loud bang was like a cannonball exploding right next to your ear. The sound was extremely loud. At a distance of 60 meters from the mountain ridge, a ball of fire rose into the sky, which was particularly dazzling in the dark night.

"What the hell?"

"What's the matter?"

"Holy crap, that scared me!"

The group of people who were concentrating on herding livestock on the hillside were all dumbfounded, not knowing what had happened ahead.

Eighty meters away, the three members of the Zhao family were lighting the wick on a glass bottle with cigarette butts. With a tearing sound, the wick burned the mouth of the glass bottle, and Zhao Guofeng quickly threw it into the fleeing pigs.

With another loud bang, the makeshift glass bottle grenade exploded amidst the fleeing three pigs. The iron filings and nails inside the bottle instantly embedded themselves in the wild boars' skin. One boar's leg was blown off, and it immediately collapsed in the snow, howling in agony. The remaining two boars were riddled with holes and ran for about 20 meters before collapsing and dying.

It's easy to imagine the destructive power of this makeshift glass bottle grenade if it were thrown near someone; it would at least turn them into a honeycomb...

"Hahaha, let's see if Xu Er still dares to act tough this time."

"Kill them!"

"Quickly throw all the glass bottles out and make the wild boars run north. It would be best if they could kill Xu Er and the others!"

Old Zhao shouted, "Stop babbling! Throw it now! After you throw it, climb the tree quickly, the wild boar is almost here!"

The three members of the Zhao family only brought six simple hand grenades. Moreover, they had to keep their eyes and ears open while throwing them, so their movements were relatively slow. After all, their goal was to drive the wild boars northward and disrupt Xu Ning and the others' plans.

Three explosions rang out in succession. The huge explosions, accompanied by flashes of light, made it clear to even a fool that this was no accident, but rather that someone was throwing explosives!
"Who?"

"I do not know!"

"Damn it...who is so mean?"

"A hand grenade?"

"Bomb!"

"It definitely wasn't thrown from our side; it looks like it was thrown from the south..."

The loudspeaker, standing on a high vantage point, glanced around and shouted, "It was thrown from the south! Look! All the wild boars are running this way, damn it..."

"Damn it, get out of there!"

"Up in the tree! Up in the tree!"

"Damn it, don't make me grab this guy, or I'll break his legs!"

"Damn it..."

The group hunting wild boars on the mountain ridge were all furious. They never expected that someone would dare to use such despicable means, let alone that the other party would dare to use homemade grenades to blow up the boar herd!
Old Xu cursed, "Damn it, they want the pigs to kill us all!"

"Brother-in-law, hurry up and climb the tree!"

Liu Daming tried to pull Xu Laonian up the tree, but Xu Laonian grabbed the sledgehammer and said, "Climb my ass! I'm going to smash two of them to death..."

Wang Erli also urged, "Brother, hurry up and climb the tree! This is no joke!"

Li Fuqiang, standing nearby, exclaimed, "Uncle, this is no small matter; it involves more than a hundred pigs!"

Wild boars don't run around randomly; they move in an orderly line, in groups of three or five, pushing forward. So if Xu Laonian were to be pushed by a wild boar, he would almost certainly be unable to stand up.

Wang Hu turned his head and asked urgently, "Second Brother, what should we do?"

"Don't worry..."

Xu Ning squinted and spotted the glow of a cigarette butt in the distance, as well as the action of someone throwing a glass bottle. How could he see it? Because when this person threw the glass bottle, the wick was still burning, and the sparks swung in a semi-circle in the air before falling in an arc into the fleeing herd of pigs.

boom!
After the explosion, Xu Ning caught a glimpse of three people in the light.

Not only Xu Ning saw it, but also Da Ba La, Lao Han and Lao Duan, and the Chang brothers saw it.

"Damn it! The three Zhao family members!"

"Zhao Guofeng!"

"So it was those three bastards who did it!"

While cursing, they did not lower their guns and continued to fire in bursts. Because some wild boars were coming towards them, and the terrain was a slope, they could see the boars' heads by looking down. As the distance got closer, one bullet could kill a boar.

bang bang bang...

Gunfire erupted in chaos, while the others, who didn't have Type 56 semi-automatic rifles, slung their guns behind their backs after emptying their double-barreled shotguns or old-fashioned rifles, braced their feet against the tree bark, and clung tightly to the trees with their hands as they climbed upwards.

At this moment, Xu Ning was furious when he realized that it was the three members of the Zhao family. Li Fuqiang cursed, "These three bastards, I'll kill them!"

As Li Fuqiang was about to raise his gun, Guan Lei stopped him with a raised hand, and Wang Hu advised, "Brother Qiang, don't be impulsive..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Ning put his index finger on the trigger, pointed the gun at the leg of a person in the distance, and pulled the trigger.

Bang!
The gunshot wasn't sudden, because there were more than 20 Type 56 semi-automatic rifles firing nearby, which masked the sound. Immediately afterwards, a scream of "Oh my god!" came from afar.

"I got shot! Damn it... throw it away, don't fucking hold it in your hand..."

Old Zhao sat in the snow, pinching his knees with his hands. When he saw Zhao Guoqing coming over with a glass bottle, he shouted a couple of curses.

Zhao Guoqing glanced down at the burning fuse and immediately threw the glass bottle away. The bottle exploded in mid-air, startling Zhao Guoqing and Lao Zhao, who quickly lay down and buried their faces in the snow. But Zhao Guofeng wasn't so lucky. He was very close to the explosion point, less than 20 meters away. So when the iron filings and nails inside the glass bottle flew everywhere, one of the nails grazed his face, instantly leaving a burnt gash.

"What the hell... are you blind? You threw some shit at me, are you trying to kill me?"

Zhao Guofeng cursed loudly, then jumped twice in the snow, covering his face, and ran behind two trees side by side for cover. "Dad's been shot! Big brother, come quick!"

"What the hell?" Zhao Guofeng was startled.

Old Zhao yelled, "What the hell are you talking about? Run! If they find out it's us, they'll definitely come and arrest us..."

Zhao Guoqing, trembling with fear, grabbed the cloth bag on the ground and was about to run when Zhao Guofeng rushed over, grabbed his arm, and shouted, "What are you running for! Give me a hand, Dad, come on up, I'll carry you."

Old Zhao narrowed his eyes, feeling a little touched. He used to love his second son the most, but when it really came down to it, it was his eldest son who mattered.

Zhao Guoqing turned around and slid to his knees next to his father, saying, "Dad, where does it hurt?"

"Stop babbling... Pig, pig..."

Zhao Guoqing turned his head and saw two wild boars rushing towards the three of them at great speed. He leaned back, clearly resigned to his fate.

But at that moment, Zhao Guofeng took the old hoe, raised the gun, and fired a shot at the wild boar's head. Since the three of them were only five or six meters away from the wild boar, the wild boar in the lead immediately knelt down on all fours and slid forward more than a meter before stopping. The wild boar behind them turned around and ran away, brushing past Zhao Guofeng and Zhao Guoqing.

Zhao Guofeng turned to Old Zhao, but instead of looking at his wound, he grabbed Old Zhao's arm, turned around, and hoisted him onto his back. Zhao Guoqing supported him from behind. As the three of them stood up, a bullet hit a tree next to Zhao Guoqing, startling him so much that he shrank back and said, "They must have seen us. What do we do?"

"What else can we do but run! If we don't run, we'll get beaten up!"

Old Zhao patted Zhao Guoqing on the back of the head and continued, "Fire two shots behind you and keep an eye on the wild boar. Don't let the wild boar kill the three of them."

"Eh!"

On the southern ridge, chaos reigned. After Xu Ning shot Lao Zhao, the wild boars rushed up to them. Chang Xifeng, Da Laba, and Lao Duan were caught off guard and knocked over by the boars that had charged up the mountain. Fortunately, the boars didn't have tusks, or they would have bled.

However, being knocked over by the old sow was not a pleasant experience. When Big Horn stood up, he felt sore all over. He grimaced and quickly grabbed the tree to climb up.

Xu Ning, hiding behind a tree, shouted, "Don't panic! Fire shots around the tree! Watch out for the wild boar coming from the opposite direction, don't panic!"

Li Fuqiang repeated, "Did you hear me? Shoot around the tree!"

Li Feng, Lao Jiang, and the three Li brothers repeated the same thing twice, but everyone wanted to save their lives and didn't want to be hurt by the wild boars, so when the wild boars attacked, at least 20 people climbed trees.

Seeing this, Xu Laonian stared intently at the wild boars rushing down the mountain. Liu Daming, standing beside him, was extremely anxious and grabbed Xu Laonian's arm, saying, "Brother-in-law, stop what you're doing! Hurry up and climb the tree! What if something else happens? There are so many wild boars..."

Xu Laonian was completely focused and ignored Liu Daming. Wang Erli, who was standing nearby, saw this and said, "Daming, don't try to persuade him. He has to beat that wild boar to death today, or he won't give up!"

"They're here!" When Xu Laonian saw three wild boars running down the mountain, he trembled all over and stared intently at the boars' heads.

Wang Erli noticed the wild boar rushing towards him and quickly shouted, "Daming, give me the gun!"

Liu Daming handed him the gun and then darted behind a tree to Wang Erli's left. He was currently unarmed and standing in the open would only cause trouble.

Old Xu stared wide-eyed, his breathing a little rapid. When the first wild boar darted up the hillside, he suddenly took two steps back and swung his sledgehammer. The boar in front of him must have weighed over 100 pounds. The boar lowered its head and charged forward. Old Xu gritted his teeth and brought the sledgehammer down, but it grazed the boar's head and missed.

"What the hell?" Xu Laonian was a little incredulous. At this moment, Wang Erli raised his gun and shot the wild boar, which weighed more than 100 pounds, dead.

"Brother-in-law, get out of the way!"

As soon as Xu Laonian turned his head, he saw the second wild boar rushing up. He swung the sledgehammer again and ran forward two steps. This time, he swung the sledgehammer in a half-circle, as if it were smashing a stone, and brought it down hard on the head of the second wild boar.

This time, the sledgehammer didn't miss, but Xu Laonian misjudged the situation, and the hammerhead landed on the wild boar's neck, paralyzing it. The boar's four hooves were raised straight up, and it let out a miserable scream.

"Oh my god, my brother-in-law is so cruel..."

At this moment, Xu Laonian was on fire. He never expected that he would actually kill a wild boar with a sledgehammer. Although he didn't hit the right spot, he still managed to kill one. This feeling was fucking awesome!

"Hahaha, cool!"

"Big brother, behind you!"

Before Xu Laonian could finish celebrating, another wild boar appeared behind him. This wild boar was quite large, weighing over 200 pounds. It lowered its head and nudged Xu Laonian's legs. Upon seeing this, Wang Erli immediately raised the muzzle of his Type 56 semi-automatic rifle and pulled the trigger twice in succession.

Seeing the wild boar lying on the ground, Xu Laonian said unhappily, "Why did you hit it? I could have killed it with a sledgehammer! Oh dear, what a pity about such a good opportunity..."

"Brother, you've achieved your dream now, hurry up and climb the tree! So many pigs are running over here, and it's so dark, what if they bump into you?"

"It's nothing. Look at my legs and my gait, how could a wild boar hurt me?"

Xu Laonian was in the prime of his life and wouldn't listen to any advice. Just as he was about to rush down the mountain, Li Fuqiang shouted, "Zhao Guofeng, you son of a bitch, don't you dare run away! I'm going to kill you..."

Amidst the chaos on the mountain ridge, the curse was exceptionally clear, for there were only sporadic gunshots, and those climbing the trees could also clearly see the distant explosions and flashes.

Xu Laonian was stunned when he heard the voice: "Was that explosion caused by the Zhao family? Damn it, they dare to do such bad things?"

Wang Erli said, "I just spotted three figures behind the pigs; I reckon it's the Zhao family, father and sons..."

"Why are you still hunting those wild boars? Quickly chase those three away, grab their legs and break them!"

Having said that, Xu Laonian grabbed his sledgehammer and was about to run down the mountain to chase after the three Zhao family members. Xu Ning ran ahead of him, shouting as he ran down the mountain, "Everyone follow me to chase after the three Zhao family members! If they dare to do something bad, they must pay the price! The forest farm told us to hunt wild boars, and now they've ruined it. They say you have to catch thieves for their dirty work, so we can't let them get away!"

"What else is there to say? Chase those three away!"

The loudspeaker blared, "That wild boar almost killed me! We have to settle accounts with those three!"

"Just do it! Damn it..."

In this situation, everyone's mood was ruined. They had originally thought that they could just stand on the ridge and drive the wild boars away, but unexpectedly, the three members of the Zhao family threw grenades. Although they were not injured, they drove the wild boars that were scattering and fleeing back to their location, causing five or six people to be knocked over by the wild boars because they were not able to react in time.

With the Xu family leading the charge down the mountain, the others were less afraid of the approaching wild boars. After all, they were filled with pent-up anger and were determined to catch the Zhao family to vent their frustration!
"Don't scatter! All of you move closer to me! Those with Type 56 rifles, open fire and shoot the way. Ignore the wild boars on both sides, we're just chasing Old Zhao's family!"

"Alright! Guoxing, Lao Duan, follow me and push forward..."

The people in the tree had already jumped down and quickly ran behind Lao Xu's family. Wang Erli and Lao Jiang led the way and ran forward.

The group of over thirty people had more than twenty Type 56 semi-automatic rifles, which could easily kill any wild boars coming at them. So they ran very fast, and after running more than 40 meters, there were no more wild boars around.
