Border Soldiers: My granaries are full of grain and meat, and I guard this region.

The next morning, Qi Feng looked at the petite woman in his arms and couldn't help but smile.

This girl was even more outrageous than him last night, which made him feel a little sorry for her.

Qi Feng tiptoed to his feet and waited until he had finished cooking before waking Yu You Rong.

"You Rong, go stay at Aunt Lin's house for the day. In case Zhao Dazhuang comes looking for trouble again, he won't be able to find you."

"I'll continue hunting today and see if the traps I set yesterday have any effect."

Yu Yourong nodded obediently as she ate her wheat porridge.

After the two finished eating, Qi Feng led Yu Yourong to Lin's house at the entrance of the village.

After explaining the situation, Aunt Lin acted very generously and directly invited Yu Yourong to stay at her house.

Lin's husband, Qi Chunsheng, works as a shop assistant in town and only returns to Qijia Village for two days each month. On weekdays, Lin stays at home by herself and does some needlework to supplement the family income.

They also have a daughter who married into the town last year to a blacksmith's son.

Shouldering his hunting bow, Qi Feng braved the cold wind and headed up the mountain.

This mountain is called Liupanling. Qijia Village is just a village located at the foot of this mountain. According to Qi Chang, there are four or five other villages like Qijia Village, all of which rely on Liupanling for their livelihood.

It didn't snow today, which allowed Qi Feng to spot prey further away.

After taking out the longsword from yesterday, Qi Feng went to the place where he had set traps yesterday, but failed to catch any prey in three consecutive traps.

Until the fourth trap, Qi Feng's eyes suddenly lit up.

There were many hoof prints scattered around the trap. When Qi Feng got closer, he found that the trap, which was originally only the size of a bowl, had turned into the size of a millstone!

Around the trap, many long, brownish-yellow hairs were also seen.

Qi Feng picked up the long hairs, but they weren't as soft as he had imagined; instead, they were as hard as steel needles.

Upon seeing this, Qi Feng immediately became alert.

"I never expected to encounter a wild boar. It seems that a wild boar brought its cubs out to forage, and the cubs fell into the trap. That's why the adult wild boar dug the trap open."

Qi Feng glanced around; it was quiet and still, without a sound.

"Wild boars are notoriously difficult to hunt, but if you manage to catch one, the rewards can be incredibly substantial!"

Qi Feng frowned, thinking about how little food his family had left, the 500 jin of meat and grain that he had to hand over in a month, and finally, Yu Yourong.

"Damn it! It's just a wild boar! I've dealt with wild boars before, running so many missions in the field!"

After Qi Feng made up his mind, his eyes instantly sharpened. At this moment, he was no longer a hunter from Qi Family Village, but a battle-hardened field army king!

Fortunately, it didn't snow today, and the tracks on the snow were clearly visible. Qi Feng began to follow the wild boar's hoofprints.

Along the way, Qi Feng got further and further away from Qi Family Village, his figure gradually entering the deep mountains. Just ahead, Qi Feng suddenly noticed that the wild boar's footprints had become disordered, and there were also bloodstains and human footprints around!

Upon seeing this, Qi Feng immediately frowned.

"Could it be that this wild boar was captured by someone else?"

However, seeing that there were still traces ahead, Qi Feng was somewhat incredulous and continued to follow.

After advancing about three or four hundred meters, Qi Feng suddenly stopped. A cold wind blew from ahead, carrying a faint smell of blood.

At the same time, a faint squeal of a pig came from ahead.

Qi Feng bent down and carefully moved forward.

Although he was downwind and the wild boars couldn't smell him, he still had to be careful.

Finally, Qi Feng could see clearly that a wild boar was rooting around a large tree about 100 meters ahead.

A panicked voice came from above the tree.

"What do we do! This beast has gone mad! It seems he's determined to take revenge today!"

"These wild boars are really troublesome! Why aren't those damned guards here yet!"

"Stop talking! Look, isn't there someone over there?"

Qi Feng glanced at the tree and saw four people in total, three men and one woman, all dressed in luxurious clothes. Even though the tree bark had worn them to shreds, it was still clear that these people came from extraordinary backgrounds.

Just then, one of the men wearing a turban shouted loudly at Qi Feng.

"Hey! Young man! Could you chase this wild boar away? If you save us four siblings, you'll be richly rewarded!"

Seeing this, the others also cast hopeful glances at Qi Feng.

Qi Feng ignored the group and instead fixed his gaze on the wild boar in the distance.

Take a deep breath, bend the bow, and nock the arrow.

As the saying goes, "First a wild boar, second a bear, third a tiger," meaning that wild boars are far more dangerous than bears and tigers in the mountains and forests.

On the one hand, there are many wild boars and they are widely distributed. Even if you just enter the mountains, you are likely to encounter them. Sometimes, wild boars will come down from the mountains and run into the village to damage crops.

In contrast, bears and tigers live deeper in the mountains and rarely come down from them.

Wild boars are known for their bad temper, and their skin, constantly rubbing against tree bark, becomes hard and rough. Once they roll around in the mud, they turn into a mud armor.

Fortunately, it is currently the dead of winter, so wild boars don't have mud to roll around in, and their protective layer of mud armor is greatly reduced.

To kill a wild boar in one blow, you must aim for its eyes, as that is the most vulnerable spot on its body.

Qi Feng held his breath and focused intently, subtly sensing the wind direction before slowly adjusting the angle of his bow and arrow.

The four people in the tree also saw this scene, and none of them dared to breathe loudly, for fear of distracting Qi Feng.

Finally, Qi Feng seized the opportunity and drew his bow to its full extent without hesitation, and a sharp arrow shot out!

Whoosh!

Although it was only a hundred meters away, the arrow arrived in the blink of an eye. With Qi Feng's slight adjustment, the arrow accurately hit the wild boar's eye and pierced through most of it!

"Roar roar roar!"

The wild boar was suddenly attacked and became agitated, turning around and running in all directions. But Qi Feng would not let such an opportunity pass. He immediately drew his bow and nocked an arrow again, crouching low as he quickly moved forward, aiming at the wild boar's trajectory and firing it suddenly!

The second arrow pierced the wild boar's hind leg, immediately slowing it down. However, the boar also noticed Qi Feng's ambush and immediately turned its spear towards Qi Feng.

The four people in the tree widened their eyes at the sight, and they began to worry about Qi Feng.

But Qi Feng was not distracted at all. He aimed his third arrow at the wild boar charging towards him and shot it again!

The arrow struck the wild boar precisely in the head, piercing its forehead. After running a few meters forward, the boar collapsed, convulsing, and finally lay motionless.

......

"Incredible skill! Absolutely incredible skill!"

The four people in the tree also climbed down at this moment, and the leader, a man wearing a turban, praised Qi Feng.

Very few people can hunt wild boars by themselves; even the captain of the Zhong family's guards might not have that ability!

Now, seeing such skilled hunters in a remote mountain village, Zhong Shao suddenly had the idea of ​​recruiting them.
