Hunting Wilderness: Starting with the Butcher

Chapter 147 We finally hunted a wild boar!

Just as Liu Qianfei and the others had hoped, they built a comfortable and sturdy bamboo house, turning their so-called desert island survival into a desert island vacation. As long as the weather permits, Yuan Linghan will go into the mountains without fail, and each time he will bring back a lot of food.

The only thing the three women regretted was that they couldn't go into the mountains with Yuan Linghan. They all knew that if they had gone with him, Yuan Linghan probably wouldn't have been able to focus on hunting and gathering supplies; instead, he would have had to take care of them.

After several trips into the mountains, Yuan Linghan finally got a clear understanding of the area around the camp. He knew which direction had abundant resources and which direction had ingredients that were not yet ripe. He had a clear idea of ​​all this, and all he needed to do was wait for the right time to harvest them.

What truly delighted everyone was that after several trips into the mountains, Yuan Linghan finally found traces of wild boar activity. Accompanied by Wu Yue, who took turns accompanying Wu Jing into the mountains, they finally spotted wild boars foraging for food in the mountains.

Just as Wu Yue was overjoyed, Yuan Linghan gestured for him to wait where he was, and then quietly crept over with his composite bow. Seizing the opportunity, Yuan Linghan used two heavy-feathered arrows to successfully kill two sows weighing over a hundred pounds each.

Although the wild boar herd included a male, whether out of fear or sensing a threat, the male boar leading the herd simply turned tail and ran away, giving Yuan Linghan no chance to shoot it.

Seeing this, Yuan Linghan laughed and said, "Looks like this wild boar is quite sensible!"

With a sigh, looking at the two wild boars that had been shot dead in front of him, Yuan Linghan called out, "Brother Yue, you can come over now."

""

When Wu Yue saw the two wild boars, each weighing around 100 pounds, he knew that Yuan Linghan must have specially selected them. However, seeing the two boars, he asked with some concern, "Captain, are we able to carry these two boars back?"

"It should be fine! We'll just go straight into the jungle, gut the wild boar, put it in a basket, and carry it back. If it's too heavy, I'll carry more; my basket is pretty sturdy anyway."

"Alright, then I'll try my best not to hold you back!"

Having known Yuan Linghan for so long, Wu Yue understood his personality well. If you truly considered him a friend, then don't be too polite with him. If it works, great; if it doesn't, just say so directly, don't be afraid of losing face.

If you force yourself to carry it, you might not be able to carry it and cause problems, which would be even more embarrassing!

With a hunting knife, Yuan Linghan deftly gutted the two sows. He removed the edible entrails, wrapped them in broad leaves he had picked nearby, and put them in his basket. The empty-bellied boars were then tied directly to the basket.

Considering that even after gutting the two wild boars, they would still weigh around 100 pounds with skin and meat, Yuan Linghan thought for a moment, then removed the head from one of the boars and put it into his basket.

The remaining wild boar, now without its head, was simply tied to Wu Yue's basket. Wu Yue felt a little embarrassed, but didn't insist. After all, carrying such a heavy basket meant walking several kilometers back to camp!

Once everything was ready, Yuan Linghan said with a smile, "Brother Yue, we've finally got what we wanted today. With these two wild boars, we'll have both meat and oil. From now on, we should be able to relax for a while without any worries."

"Yes! It's all thanks to you for going into the mountains to search; otherwise, finding these wild boars in the jungle would have been really difficult."

Compared to carrying an empty basket before, Wu Yue now carries nearly 100 pounds more meat in the basket, and he feels immense pressure.

Fortunately, as a martial artist, he was not lacking in endurance. Even when he was panting heavily, he still gritted his teeth and persevered.

Fortunately, Yuan Linghan would find a relatively shady spot to rest every now and then. In this way, the two finally returned to the camp. Liu Qianfei, who was guarding the camp, was once again the first to see them return.

When she saw what was in the basket on her back, she immediately covered her mouth and exclaimed, "Sweetie, come quick! The captain has hunted a wild boar!"

The exclamation startled Jing Tian, ​​who was relaxing on a bamboo rocking chair on the bamboo house's terrace. Reba and Wu Jing, who had also heard the exclamation, came out as well. The latter, in particular, rushed towards the two returning guests.

Just as Wu Jing was about to step forward to help, Yuan Linghan said with a smile, "Brother Jing, you should hurry up and help Brother Yue! After this trip, Brother Yue will probably need at least two days to recover."

Upon hearing Yuan Linghan's words, Wu Jing hurriedly ran to Wu Yue's side and took the basket off his back. When she took the basket off, Wu Jing knew that it weighed at least 100 pounds, which explained why Wu Yue was so tired that he didn't want to speak.

The three women following behind Wu Jing initially wanted to help, but seeing the wild boar weighing over a hundred pounds, they didn't know where to begin. Fortunately, Yuan Linghan shook his head and said, "Sister Fei, let's go back first!"

"Okay! Are you thirsty? Wait a moment, I'll go get you some coconut water to replenish your energy."

Upon hearing this, Liu Qianfei thought of Yuan Linghan and Wu Yue, who must be tired and thirsty after carrying so much stuff back. Luckily, there was some coconut water stored in the living room for drinking, so she immediately thought of pouring them a glass of water as a token of her concern.

Upon returning to the kitchen door, Yuan Linghan finally put down his basket, and Liu Qianfei personally handed him a cup of coconut water. Seeing Liu Qianfei bringing him water, Yuan Linghan did not refuse this kind offer.

Wu Yue, finally relieved of the heavy basket on her back, also took a cup of coconut water from Reba, thanked her, and drank it down in one gulp. After drinking the coconut water, Wu Yue felt much more relaxed.

Jing Tian, ​​who helped Wu Jing carry the basket back to the kitchen, was sweating profusely even though the distance wasn't long. She said, "Brother Jing, how heavy is this basket? No wonder Brother Yue is so tired carrying something so heavy."

Upon hearing this, Wu Jing smiled wryly and said, "Sweetie, you'll be even more shocked if you look at the captain's basket."

"What do you mean? You mean the captain's basket is heavier than Yue Ge's?"

"Definitely! If I'm not mistaken, the wild boar's head is definitely in the captain's basket."

"Didn't the captain carry back over a hundred pounds of stuff?"

"Absolutely! The captain's stamina is simply superhuman!"

After spending some time with him, Wu Jing had come to know just how strong Yuan Linghan's physical strength was. Despite both he and Wu Yue having trained in martial arts since childhood, they were far inferior to Yuan Linghan in both skill and physique.

As expected, when Yuan Linghan untied the wild boar from the basket on his back, besides a boar's head, there were also the boar's internal organs that he had deliberately left inside. All of these things together weighed over a hundred pounds.

If the three women were to carry such a heavy basket, they would probably be crushed instantly!

Yuan Linghan, who had just returned, rested for a while and then said, "Sister Fei, let's boil some water! First, clean the two wild boars thoroughly, then we need to marinate them quickly. If we don't process them soon, I'm afraid the meat will spoil."

"Okay! I'll go boil some water!"

As members of the team, Liu Qianfei and her two companions have learned quite a bit about kitchen skills during their time on the island. For example, they've mastered tasks like starting a fire and boiling water. Having them do what they can makes them feel more at ease.

They'd feel embarrassed if they had to lie down all the time!

While the three women were boiling water in the kitchen, Yuan Linghan asked Wu Jing to find clean banana leaves and spread them out in a shady spot next to the kitchen. Then, he placed the two gutted wild boars directly on the banana leaves.

Once the water boils, we can use banana leaves to clean the wild boar's tough bristles. If the bristles aren't cleaned properly, the two wild boars we painstakingly carried back won't turn into pork that can be cured and cooked!
