Reborn in the 1980s: Nine Stunning Beauties Get Pregnant Before Marriage
Chapter 89 All Taken Down
The mountain forest was exceptionally quiet after nightfall, with moonlight barely filtering through the gaps in the branches and leaves.
The three held their breath, with only the occasional rustling of the mountain wind through the treetops.
After an unknown amount of time, a noise came from the pass below. Hei Zi alertly pricked up his ears, but Zhang Jianjun held him down.
A wild boar weighing about 100 pounds slowly walked into the pass, clearly visible in the moonlight.
Zhang Jianjun's hand rested firmly on Hei Zi's back, but his gaze was fixed on Chen Yongqiang behind the rock opposite.
Chen Yongqiang shook his head slightly, his fingers pressing on the trigger guard of his hunting rifle.
"Wait a little longer," Chen Yongqiang whispered to Zhang Jianguo beside him, his voice so soft it almost disappeared in the wind.
The wild boar paused briefly at the pass, nudged the mud with its snout, and disappeared into the bushes on the other side.
Zhang Jianguo leaned close to Chen Yongqiang's ear and said, "It seems this road is indeed correct; even ordinary wild boars take this route."
Chen Yongqiang nodded, his gaze never leaving the pass below.
As night deepened, the wild boar king still hadn't appeared by midnight.
Zhang Jianguo gestured and lowered his voice: "You two close your eyes and rest for a while. I'll keep watch and call you if there's any noise."
Chen Yongqiang was indeed a little tired, so he leaned against the rock with his hunting rifle and closed his eyes to rest.
The night breeze in the woods was cool, and the occasional hooting of an owl could be heard in the distance.
As dawn approached, he was gently woken up by Zhang Jianguo.
"They're here," Zhang Jianguo whispered briefly.
Chen Yongqiang was startled, thinking he had finally found his target, and immediately gripped his hunting rifle tightly.
But looking in the direction Zhang Jianguo pointed, they saw seven or eight wild boars walking in single file along the valley. The leader weighed about 200 jin (100 catties), while the others weighed around 100 jin (50 kg).
"Shall we make a move?" Chen Yongqiang asked in a low voice, his gaze quickly sweeping over the wild boar herd.
Zhang Jianguo was getting a little anxious: "We can't go back empty-handed. If we're going to fight, we should take down as many as possible."
The three exchanged a knowing glance and quickly assigned targets.
Chen Yongqiang pointed to the three largest heads: "The three on the left are mine."
Zhang Jianguo immediately chimed in, "I'll handle the middle and both ends."
Zhang Jianjun nodded in understanding, his gun already pointed to the right: "Leave the remaining three to me and Heizi."
After the three were ready, Zhang Jianguo made a gesture.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The three shotguns fired almost simultaneously.
Chen Yongqiang's shots never missed, and three wild boars fell to the ground instantly.
Zhang Jianguo also took down two of them. Zhang Jianjun hit both of them, but the smallest one was only injured in the hind leg and howled as it burrowed into the bushes.
"Hei Zi, chase!" Zhang Jianjun gave the order.
Blackie darted out like an arrow, catching up with the wounded wild boar a hundred meters away and biting its ear.
The wild boar let out a pitiful scream and spun around in place, but couldn't break free.
Zhang Jianguo quickly caught up: "Good job, let go."
Just as the hunting dogs released their grip, the wild boar struggled to escape. At that moment...
"Bang!"
Chen Yongqiang stood not far away, his gun still smoldering. The last wild boar fell to the ground.
Eight wild boars lay sprawled on the ground.
After counting his spoils, Zhang Jianguo patted the belly of the largest wild boar with satisfaction: "Eight of them, big and small, this hunt was a complete success."
Blackie excitedly circled around its owner's feet, occasionally sniffing the wild boar on the ground.
Zhang Jianjun took out a water bottle and poured some water for the hunting dog: "You've done a great job today."
The three of them busied themselves tying up the wild boar, preparing to carry it down the mountain.
Although we didn't catch the Wild Boar King, such a bountiful harvest made the trip worthwhile.
Just as Zhang Jianguo was about to tie up the last wild boar with a rope, Heizi suddenly barked softly at the bushes to the west, its front paws pawing restlessly at the ground.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Jianjun held down the restless hunting dog and looked in that direction.
Chen Yongqiang looked in the direction of the sound and noticed that there was a patch of soil under the bushes that was particularly damp.
He walked over discreetly to investigate and found a tuft of dark brown hair on the thicket of thorns.
"It probably smelled other wild boars." Chen Yongqiang quietly stuffed the bristles into his pocket.
He walked back with a normal expression. "There are a lot of wild boars in this forest. Hei Zi is being too sensitive."
Zhang Jianguo, unsuspecting, patted the hunting dog's head with a smile: "That's enough for today, don't be greedy."
Chen Yongqiang helped lift the last wild boar, but his gaze swept thoughtfully over the dense thicket.
The three men carried the wild boar back to the foot of the mountain and laid out their prey on the ground, creating a rather spectacular sight.
Chen Yongqiang kicked two of the medium-sized wild boars with his foot: "I'll take these two."
Zhang Jianguo paused for a moment upon hearing this, looked at the two wild boars, each weighing about a hundred pounds, and then at the other, larger prey on the ground: "Yongqiang, isn't this a bit inappropriate? You contributed the most today, so you should get a bigger share."
Zhang Jianjun chimed in, "Yes, the biggest one should belong to you."
Chen Yongqiang, who was also savvy about human relationships, said: "These two together weigh over two hundred jin, which is enough. Besides, it was you brothers who led the way this time, and finding this ambush point is also thanks to Jian Guo."
Although we only took two of them, the weight was definitely worth it.
More importantly, he found a fresh abrasion on the hind leg of one of the wild boars. The mark didn't look like a gunshot wound, but rather like it had been scraped by a larger tusk.
Zhang Jianguo wanted to persuade him further, but Chen Yongqiang had already hoisted the wild boar onto his shoulder: "It's getting late, I have to hurry back."
"Then we'll take advantage of you," Zhang Jianguo said with an embarrassed smile. "Next time we go into the mountains, we'll definitely let you choose first."
Chen Yongqiang nodded and carried the wild boar home.
When he returned to the courtyard, Lin Xiulian was feeding the chickens. Seeing him carrying two wild boars back, she quickly went to help.
"You killed two more?" she asked, somewhat surprised.
Chen Yongqiang placed the wild boar in the corner of the yard: "Hmm, it was a success."
The little wolf cub ran over and rubbed against his trouser leg. When the little guy grows up a bit more, he should take him to the north slope to learn the way.
Lin Xiulian went into the house and added firewood to the stove.
She poured well water into a large pot to boil and prepare it for Chen Yongqiang's wild boar. She bent down and blew on the stove fire, and bluish-gray smoke rose from the chimney.
A few dozen meters away, outside the bamboo house, Qin Liping, who had just gotten up, tidied her hair and saw the smoke rising from the chimney of the Chen family's house.
"Sister Xiulian is busy so early, I'll go help her." She said to herself as she buttoned up her clothes.
Upon entering the courtyard, one sees Chen Yongqiang sharpening a knife by the well, with two wild boars lying on the stone slab.
Qin Liping greeted him with a smile, her gaze sweeping over the two sturdy wild boars. "Brother Yongqiang, not bad for you."
"Not bad." This wasn't Chen Yongqiang's biggest gain; he had hit much more on his previous occasion.
Chen Yongqiang felt that hunting with the Zhang brothers wasn't a worthwhile deal, and he wouldn't have cooperated with them if it weren't for the wild boar king.
