Age: Passionate youth, starting from graduation assignment

Chapter 32 Hunting Time
"boom!"

Xu Jichang pulled the trigger, and a strong flame erupted from the muzzle of the shotgun.

The 20mm caliber ammunition charged the wild boar like a cloud of thunder with enormous power.

"Ow..."

The bullet hit accurately, and after the boar let out a shrill cry, its fat body like a hill shook twice, and finally fell to the ground slumped.

It really screamed like a pig butcher.

After the wild boar fell to the ground, its limbs were still twitching towards the sky.

A big animal like this would not die immediately even if it was fatally wounded. Xu Jichang stepped forward quickly, swung the hunting knife and stabbed the wild boar's heart with the tip of the knife.

After another growl, the wild boar finally stopped convulsing, and the whole pig remained motionless.

When Xu Jichang launched a piercing blow, he specially chose an angle to avoid it, so as not to be splashed with blood.

He also speaks from experience, if he really wants to be drenched all over his head and body with wild boar blood, he will be surrounded by mosquitoes and blood-sucking flies on the way down the mountain.

Fortunately, the angle he chose this time was very precise, and no blood was splashed on his body.

However, the surrounding ground was still soaked with the warm blood of wild boars, and there was a bloody smell of rust in the air.

The wild boar had to be dealt with briefly, otherwise it would not be possible to bring it down the mountain, and the speed had to be fast, otherwise carnivores from all directions would be attracted by the bloody smell later, and there would be a lot of trouble at that time.

Xu Jichang thought to himself, and immediately dragged the wild boar to the hillside.

The place where Xu Jichang is currently located is the water collection line, which is also a valley. During the day, the wind blows from the valley to the top of the mountain, which is the valley wind, and the smell spreads quickly here.

The road he and Shen Qingrui traveled just now was located on the ridge, and the smell spread slowly during the day, so they could buy more time to deal with wild boars.

Dragging the big wild boar, Xu Jichang galloped up the way he had come, colliding with leaves and shrubs making creaking noises along the way, and finally returned to the forest path.

On the trail, Shen Qingrui first heard gunshots, and then heard rustling sounds from below, and felt a little scared, but when she noticed Xu Jichang's footsteps in the middle, she felt relieved.

When Xu Jichang appeared in front of Shen Qingrui dragging a big wild boar, Shen Qingrui was shocked: such a big wild boar!
He actually dragged this mountain-like wild boar all the way up from the slope.

God, how strong should he be?

Shen Qingrui opened her eyes wide, if she wasn't afraid of startling the beast, she would have let out an exclamation.

"Don't dawdle, hurry up and clean up this wild boar together."

After Xu Jichang finished speaking, he took out the small knife he carried with him from the cloth bag and handed it to Shen Qingrui, "You first cut off the pig's ears and tail. I will assign you a new job after finishing the work."

After Xu Jichang finished speaking, he squatted down and swung his hunting knife to chop off the wild boar's front legs.

Wild boars like to roll in muddy ponds, and also like to rub pine bark. Over time, a layer of mud shell mixed with yellow mud and rosin is formed on their bodies.

This layer of mud shell is very strong, it can prevent mosquito bites, and it also has a certain defensive effect on bullets.Unless you use a large-caliber gun like Xu Jichang, ordinary bullets cannot penetrate.

When Xu Jichang slashed at the wild boar's front legs with his knife, the back of the knife was the first knife, which cut a series of cracks on the mud shell and shook off a lot of the mud shell.

The second knife used a blade, and after one swing, the wild boar's entire front leg was chopped off by him.

Xu Jichang threw the severed front leg into a cloth bag, and Shen Qingrui also cut off the pig's tail and began to cut off the pig's ears.

Worried that Xu Jichang would be scratched, she held the handle of the knife with one hand and pressed the back of the knife with the other, sawing off the two big tusks of the wild boar bit by bit.

With the division of labor and cooperation between the two, it didn't take long for the wild boar's two front legs and ears to be chopped off and thrown into the bag.

Don't cut the hind legs for now. When you return to the village to wash the pigs and remove the hair, you have to hook the pigs' hind legs and hang the pigs upside down. It will be inconvenient without the hind legs.

After chopping off the two front legs, Xu Jichang asked Shen Qingrui to get out of the way first to prevent accidental injury, then swung the hunting knife high, disemboweled the wild boar, took out the intestines, lungs, and bladder in one go, found a direction where the trees were relatively sparse, and threw it as far as possible.

This is the rule when hunting. According to the folk saying, it is called Jingshan God. In fact, its function is to lure wolves, tigers and leopards away, and give them two bites of these parts to prevent them from following people's whereabouts.

After finishing all this work, Xu Jichang grabbed the strong mane of the wild boar with both hands, lifted it up and put it into the bag, and carried the bag firmly on his shoulders.

It's not easy to put a whole pig in the bag, but now it can be put in after cutting off a part.

Seeing this scene, Shen Qingrui was once again amazed by Xu Jichang's strength.

When she cleaned up the wild boars just now, there were thin beads of sweat on her forehead, she didn't know whether she was tired or nervous.

After the two set off again, Shen Qingrui followed Xu Jichang, her eyes wandered to him from time to time, looking uneasy.

"What, is something wrong?"

Xu Ji saw that something was wrong with her, so he asked.

"Uh, I want to ask... I didn't hold you back just now, did I?"

Shen Qingrui fidgeted with her fingers, lowered her eyes and looked at the ground, anxiously waiting for Xu Jichang's answer.

"No, you didn't hold me back."

Xu Jichang was amused by her cute appearance, "It's the first time I went into the mountains with someone, and it's not bad to have you acting like this."

It's really cute.In order not to drag herself down and affect her impression of her, this girl who was not considered strong, even a little weak, has been working hard since entering the mountain.

"really?"

Shen Qingrui's voice was full of suppressed excitement.If she was not still in the mountains, she would have laughed happily.

Xu Jichang and Shen Qingrui walked all the way to the top of the mountain along the mountain road, and after letting her rest for a while at the top of the mountain, they walked down the mountain again.

Before the sun set to the west, the two finally descended the mountain and arrived at the small alluvial fan where Heixiazi Village was located.

"Here we are, it's my home after a while."

"Hmm... You have beautiful mountains and clear waters here."

Shen Qingrui had walked too much, panting slightly at this moment, her voice made Xu Jichang daydream a bit.

The two walked forward for a while, and met Shunzi.

When Shunzi saw Xu Jichang, he immediately grinned,

"Hey Jichang, you are finally back! How many days are you going to stay at home this time?"

While talking, he reached out to take the cloth bag containing the wild boar for Xu Jichang, but as soon as Xu Jichang handed it to him, he couldn't take it anymore and put the bag on the ground: "Hiss...why is it so heavy? What's in it? This is it."

"It's all wild boar. It was just hunted on the mountain."

After Xu Jichang finished speaking, he shook the shotgun, and took the cloth bag back from Shunzi who was powerless.

Shunzi was so envious that he almost burst into tears: "Such a big wild boar is really the only one!"

"That's right, I'll go to your house to clean up the wild boars later."

Xu Jichang said.

Shunzi's family has a large yard, which is suitable for this kind of work.

"Okay, I'll go home first and let my mother get ready."

Shunzi said, and then noticed Shen Qingrui, "This is an educated youth from the city, right?"

"Yes, she is my good friend. We came back together."

"Oh, you two walked very fast. The cadres in the team went to pick up other educated youths and haven't come back yet."

Shunzi nodded and said, then ran towards his own house, preparing to tell his mother to boil water to scald the pig hair.
