Wild boars have a wide diet, usually eating grass roots and fruits as their main food, and insects and earthworms as snacks.
Rats, snakes, and eggs from pheasant nests are all part of their diet, ranging from vegetarian to meat.
Because of their aggressive nature, poor eyesight, and sensitive sense of smell and hearing, wild boars will actively attack humans and have always been relatively dangerous wild animals.
As an animal with a strong sense of territory, even if Peppa Pig is an immature wild boar, he will not allow other intruders to enter his territory to commit crimes.
This kite was not the domestic chicken that I was used to seeing, and Xu Errui was shouting beside him, which naturally aroused the ferocity of the little wild boar and directly captured the raptor.
But the little wild boar didn't eat it right away.
It dropped the kite on the ground and arched it a few times. The bloody kite turned into a pile of rotten meat. .
Xu Errui wanted to take it, but the little wild boar opened his hand with a mouth and grunted a few times to express dissatisfaction.
But before Jiang Zhi came over, the little wild boar had already bitten the dead kite and rushed back to the house next to it.
Then came a terrified scream from Qiaoyun in the room: "Wuhua, ah! What are you doing? What is this?"
Jiang Zhi and Xu Errui hurried back.
In the kitchen, the little wild boar threw the dead kite in front of Qiaoyun, then held her in his mouth and walked towards the kitchen.
When Jiang Zhi saw it, he couldn't help but feel funny and want to scold: "Glutty pig, you want to eat barbecue!"
Because it grew up with humans and ate mushy and barbecued sweet potatoes, the little wild boar was already accustomed to eating cooked food. It wanted to burn the kite it had just killed.
Now Qiaoyun was blocked in the kitchen by it, so he had to help with the barbecue. He wrapped the kite with a few leaves and threw it into the ashes. After a while, the aroma of meat came out.
At this time, Xiaoman and others came over after hearing the noise.
Little Man asked, "Did a kite come down just now?" He also heard the cries of chickens exploding their nests at the foot of the cliff.
Jiang Zhi said: "Yes, the kite came down and was bitten to death by a wild boar again. The fence we worked on yesterday was in vain."
Kites are birds of prey and are territorial. If one dies, no more kites will appear on this hilltop for the time being.
Mr. Xiao Man clicked his tongue and exclaimed: "Wuhua has really become a spirit. I didn't raise it in vain!"
He went to the nearby forest to look at the fence, and sure enough he saw that a big hole had been ripped out of the fence, and it would take half a day to repair it.
"Oh, Wuhua!" Little Man didn't even know what to say.
Jiang Zhi glanced at the wild boar waiting for barbecue in the kitchen, and couldn't help but feel a little funny: Just for a bite of meat!
After spending a long time at home, I first checked on the chicks.
Because of Peppa Pig's timely rescue, the chick was not seriously injured. A few feathers were torn off, and a hole was scratched on its back. Jiang Zhi gave it medicine powder and was ready to go out to work.
She was going to collect some pyracantha fruits and store them.
Pyracanthus can be eaten raw, or dried and cooked into porridge, wine and tea. Eating it raw is sour and sweet for digestion. Drying and grinding it into powder can satisfy hunger, but don't eat too much as it may cause constipation.
Although we can now exchange some food with the medical shed, and there will be green rice flour soon, the staple food can basically solve the problem of food and clothing.
But there's a big eater in the house who can't get enough to eat, and a bunch of chicken pockets.
Once winter comes and there are no grass seed insects outside, it will definitely need to be fed more, and now we have to save more fruits.
Fortunately, there are so many pyracantha fruits. There are clusters of flaming red bushes on the slopes and cliffs, and you can pick a handful at will.
In addition to the pyracantha fruits, there are also wild chrysanthemums, and now they are also golden.
Under the sun, the rich medicinal fragrance of wild chrysanthemums makes people dizzy, and some bees are buzzing and buzzing, collecting the most abundant nectar of the year and the last source of nectar before winter.
Rolling in the flower core, covered with pollen, her thighs were even wrapped into two round beans.
Jiang Zhi blew lightly on the bee that landed on his hand, and the bee buzzed away.
These hard-working little guys are not trouble-making wasps. As long as they don't attack them, they won't sting anyone casually, because if they sting someone, they will die immediately.
Wild chrysanthemums can be used as medicine or made into tea. Only the unopened flower buds are picked. They have the functions of dispelling wind and clearing away heat, clearing the liver and improving eyesight, reducing swelling and detoxifying.
In modern times, Xia Sangju granules, which are commonly used in households, use wild chrysanthemum as a royal medicine to treat fever and red eyes due to wind-heat and cold.
It also has the functions of clearing the liver and improving eyesight. It is a Chinese patent medicine with rich pharmacology.
In addition to wild chrysanthemums, Jiang Zhi also cut large bundles of thistles by the ditch.
Autumn is the flowering period of large and small thistles, and it is also the harvesting period. Cut the whole grass with flowers, remove impurities and sediment, wash it, cut it into sections, and dry it in the sun.
Thistle
As a plant with the same origin as medicine and food, thistle, also known as acanthus, is a delicious wild vegetable in spring and a good medicine for stopping bleeding and removing blood stasis in summer and autumn.
Thistle
Pound the fresh leaves and apply directly externally for external injuries (knife wounds). The medicine can be replaced immediately after drying.
If the dried thistle is stir-fried until it becomes charred black, sprayed with water and allowed to cool, it will become thistle charcoal, which can enhance the hemostatic effect.
The wound on the bearded head contained this medicine, so Xu Dong knew it as soon as he saw it.
Moreover, this medicine is also an important trauma medicine in the medical shed, and Jiang Zhizheng is harvesting it in large quantities.
While she was busy, there was a sudden rustling sound in the grass not far away, which became louder and louder.
Jiang Zhi was startled and stood up quickly, staring at the direction from which the sound came.
It's not far from the residence. You can see Xu Errui watering the late rice beside the terraces. There won't be any wild beasts.
Under Jiang Zhi's gaze, as the sound grew louder, a monster with a long mouth and big ears soon emerged from the grass. As soon as it showed its head, its nose arch turned up and down, and a thin scream came from its throat, as if it was being touched. What a grievance.
It turned out that the little wild boar that had finished the snack came looking for me.
Jiang Zhi was angry and funny at the same time. This guy never walked out of his way and specialized in digging into bushes.
"Peppa, come here and touch me!"
Jiang Zhi now feels quite safe with this little guy around.
The little wild boar came over and let Jiang Zhi grab two handfuls of it on the head, and received another slap on the butt, which made him groan in comfort.
"Go ahead and find food for yourself, don't bother me!"
Jiang Zhi pushed it away, and the little wild boar grunted again, turned around obediently, and started looking for food to fill its never-full belly.
At this time, Xiaoman had reached the cliff at the edge of the village again, staring at the sergeant running and practicing sparring below.
Especially Zhang Juntou's spear was dancing like a wind. He wanted to follow the gestures, but couldn't follow him. He scratched his head and scratched his head anxiously: "Oh, it would be great if I could follow Aunt Jiang when she goes down the mountain tomorrow." Brother Errui, let’s change it!”
Tomorrow, Jiang Zhi will go down the mountain again. The road is easy to travel before the continuous autumn rain. In addition, the medical shed needs medicinal materials, so he will go down the mountain more frequently.
As soon as Xiaoman came back in the afternoon, he discussed with Xu Errui: "Brother Errui, my aunt is going down the mountain tomorrow. You can change with me!"
The last time he encountered Li Laoshi blocking the road, Jiang Zhi told Er Rui to follow him into the village.
Before Xu Errui could answer, Jiang Zhi, who was sorting out medicinal materials next to him, said, "Xiao Man, you have to tell your grandfather and elder brother before you go down the mountain."
There are risks in going outside. Now that Xiao Man wants to go, he definitely can't just agree to it on his own. He has to ask his parents for permission.
Xiaoman had a smile on his face: "Okay, I'll tell you in a moment, aunt, if my father agrees, you have to agree."
He wanted to get an accurate letter from Jiangzhi and then ask his family.
Jiang Zhi thought for a while and agreed: "Okay, as long as you obey!"
"Okay! You must be obedient!" Xiao Man happily ran away.
