The pastoral life of the grass tribe chief

"It's none of his business, just don't let each other out of sight."

The madman still wouldn't give up.

"Actually, it's not impossible for just the three of us."

In the past, Lu Yao would never have agreed.

With his current strength, as long as he has a gun, any wild boar he sets his sights on will definitely die.

As long as the hunting team is small, he can perfectly control the situation and prevent a repeat of the tragedy.

"Let's talk to my wife about it tonight."

"Bang bang bang".

The madman excitedly raised his hand, mimicking firing a gun.

Just then, Da Bai ran back, carrying a pound-sized black snake in its mouth.

It seems this guy got a lot of praise from everyone at noon and has become addicted to catching snakes.

"Next time, bite the head, but don't bite to the death."

Seeing that the snake had been killed by the big white dog, Lu Yao stroked its head and said.

Ordinary dogs might not be able to do this, and there is even a risk of being bitten by a venomous snake, but Big White is not an ordinary dog. It often eats venomous snakes and has developed antibodies to snake venom, so ordinary snake venom cannot threaten it.

A live snake is more useful.

Take the black-banded rat snake for example. Its venom is not very toxic, but its venom can be used to extract snake serum, which is the nemesis of many venomous snakes.

Of course, extracting snake serum is not a simple task. It requires injecting the serum into immunized animals, followed by blood collection and purification. Only professionals using specialized equipment can do this.

Snake venom is a valuable commodity.

Cobra venom, in particular, is very expensive, costing tens of thousands of yuan per gram.

"Woof woof woof."

Da Bai glared at Lu Yao and ran off again.

Why didn't you say so earlier? You're wasting my time.

Lu Yao put the black-tailed snake into the snakeskin bag and continued searching for herbs.

They came to a valley and parted ways, but not too far apart; a shout would be heard.

Lu Yao saw several young five-finger peach trees, but he didn't dig them up. Instead, he dug up a lot of wild mountain products such as Codonopsis pilosula and Eleutherococcus senticosus.

"There is a seven-finger peach tree here."

The madman shouted from not far away.

"This one tree is enough for us to eat for half a year."

Lu Yao walked over and saw that it was taller than twice him, at least six meters tall.

The two first cleared away the surrounding vines and cleared a space to place the roots of the seven-finger peach.

"You cut, I'll dig."

The madman grabbed a multi-functional pickaxe and got to work.

Lu Yao, on the other side, used a machete to cut tree branches and threw the cut branches into the valley.

After cutting down the branches, Lu Yao used a sickle to cut off the exposed roots of the eccentric worm and set them aside.

It took the two of them more than an hour to finish digging, leaving some roots for it to grow.

The two then removed the forked roots, tied them into small bundles, and then bundled the small bundles into a large bundle.

Treat the branched roots properly, cut the main root into small sections, and insert them into the large clump.

They cut down two more sticks, carried them down the mountain, and put them on the bread cart.

The two sat down next to the car to drink tea and rest.

Big White returned carrying a half-dead black snake.

Lu Yao put it into a nylon bag and threw it into the car.

"Where's Old Wu?"

Lu Yao made Da Bai open its mouth and poured a large gulp of tea for it to drink.

"Woof woof woof."

Big White swallowed the tea, barked at a mountain peak, and then lay down to rest.

After a while, the old crow flew back and landed on a stone by the roadside.

"Old Wu is exhausted."

Old Wu wiped his forehead with his wing, panting, just like a human being.

"What good stuff did you find?"

Lu Yao also poured a small sip of tea for it to drink.

"Wild boar."

"many."

"Little one."

Old Wu, like a thief, glanced around warily and whispered.

How big?

The madman's eyes lit up when he heard there were wild boar piglets.

"20".

"30".

"It smells delicious."

As Old Wu spoke, drool began to drip from his mouth.

Both of them swallowed hard.

Piglets weighing 20 to 30 pounds are best for roasting, especially wild boar piglets, which taste even better than farmed ones.

"I'll have my wife hunt wild boars tomorrow. Even if we can't catch a big one, a small one will do."

The madman wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth, wishing he could rush out right now and snatch a wild boar piglet.

"Wait here for me, I'll go scout ahead first."

"Old Wu, lead the way, don't disturb them."

Lu Yao stood up and left.

Big White stood up and followed.

"I'll go too."

The madman quickly followed.

The two men and the dog followed Old Wu over a mountain and came to a narrow valley.

This is one of the water sources of Longchong Reservoir. Lu Yao and Dianzi came here with Li Yunbo and the others to hunt wild boar.

It is said that this place was once a base, with a population of several hundred at its peak.

Now it has become a desolate wilderness, a stronghold for wild boars.

Two people, a dog, and a bird crouched in a secluded spot.

"Old Wu, fly over there and land on the big tree next to them, then we'll know their exact location."

Lu Yao said to Lao Wu.

The big white bird would definitely disturb them, but a blackbird wouldn't attract their attention at all.

Old Wu was also cunning; he first flew to the tree opposite before flying to the wild boar's den.

Soon, Old Wu stopped on a large pine tree.

The two men and their dog knew that the wild boar's den was down below.

The old bird lingered for a while, then flew back.

"You go back first, I'll take another look."

Since Lu Yao had come, he didn't intend to leave empty-handed.

Be careful.

The madman didn't pay any attention, assuming that he wanted to observe the terrain clearly so that he could act more easily next time.

"Old Wu, fly to that tree."

As the madman walked back, Lu Yao pointed to a large tree not far away.

"Big White, when I get to Old Wu's big tree, yell. When the wild boar comes out, run back. Don't wait for me."

After explaining everything clearly, Lu Yao put on a straw hat and moved forward silently.

"Woof woof woof."

When he arrived at the big tree where Old Wu had stopped and hid himself, Da Bai immediately rushed into the depths of the valley and barked wildly.

Panic erupted in the depths of the valley, and then a group of adult wild boars came charging out from there.

Big White barked as it ran outside, and soon caught up with Crazy.

"Woof woof woof."

Big White ran wildly past the madman.

"Crazy man, run! The wild boars are catching up!"

"Old Yao, run!"

The madman heard a deafening roar behind him, turned around, and was terrified. He turned tail and ran away, shouting as he did so.

Fortunately, the wild boar couldn't understand human speech, otherwise Lu Yao would have been in serious trouble.

"Old Wu, keep a close eye on this wild boar piglet. We're having roasted piglet tonight."

After the wild boar herd galloped past on the other side, Lu Yao gave instructions to Lao Wu, picked up a few small stones, and ran as fast as he could towards the depths of the valley.

Upon hearing this, Old Wu flew away at top speed, drooling as he stared at a wild boar cub.

Lu Yao's sudden appearance startled the other wild boar piglets, who scattered in panic and fled in disarray.

Several adult wild boars charged straight at us.

Lu Yao flicked his hand, and the small stone shot out with astonishing force, striking several adult wild boars heavily in the eyes.

Several adult wild boars were in pain, their movements faltered, and some lost their footing and fell into the ravine.

Lu Yao took the opportunity to brush past them and headed straight for the wild boar piglet.

The wild boar was so frightened that it screamed loudly and ran headfirst into a tree trunk, knocking itself unconscious.
