The wild boar adjusted its posture and rushed towards Duanmu.
Duanmu was so scared that he closed his eyes and shouted: "I love you!"
But a minute passed, and the wild boar did not rush in front of him, nor did it bite him.
Duanmu narrowed his eyes tremblingly, looking at the situation ahead with curiosity and fear.
It didn't matter. It turned out that the wild boar was only about three meters away from him.
The wild boar still looked menacing, but the metal rope binding its hooves stretched into a straight line again, making it unable to move.
The wild boar gnawed at the metal rope angrily, but could not move any further.
Duanmu turned his head and looked blankly. At some point, the knot at the other end of the metal rope was hooked on a raised hook on the wall, and some agricultural tools and products were originally hung on that hook.
While Duanmu was still stunned, a shadow tiptoed behind the wild boar.
The wild boar was depressed and could not chew the rope. Suddenly he noticed someone behind him. He turned around and stared at the person in front of him.
Dong Qiangqiang stood a few meters in front of the wild boar, carrying a bamboo basket.
Before he could think about it, the wild boar was already attacking him like a cannonball.
Dong Qiangqiang thought that by hooking the knot at the other end of the metal rope to the wall, he could limit the range of the wild boar. He wanted to use a bamboo basket to catch it, but he made a miscalculation: the distance between the wild boar and Duanmu was indeed limited by the rope. But the distance between the wild boar and Dong Qiangqiang was not limited by the rope.
The wild boar seemed to move instantly and arrived in front of him in the blink of an eye. Dong Qiangqiang was caught off guard and subconsciously used the basket in his hand to block the wild boar. But the momentum of the wild boar was so great that Dong Qiangqiang slipped and was knocked to the ground by it.
The wild boar went straight to his face and tried to bite him, but there was a bamboo basket between it and Dong Qiangqiang.
Because the wild boar was too close to him, Dong Qiangqiang was lying on the ground in a state of embarrassment due to its sudden left and right attacks. He was unable to get up for a while and could only use the bamboo basket to parry passive defense from left to right.
I don't know if it was the effect of alcohol, but he saw that the wild boar's eyes had turned red, and the meat at the front of the long nose had been torn by the bamboo basket. Thin strands of pig skin with bloodshot eyes hung on both sides of the pig's nose, but the wild boar was completely unaware. Still attacking selflessly.
A hole was gradually made in the bottom of the basket by the pig's snout. Just when Dong Qiangqiang couldn't resist, the wild boar suddenly stopped.
Dong Qiangqiang hurriedly took a closer look, but saw bamboo branches beside the hole stuck in the wild boar's nostrils.
The wild boar didn't understand what was going on, and tried to pull its nose back out of the hole while grunting. But its movement was too big, and more bamboo basket branches got stuck near its nose and mouth.
Soon enough, Dong Qiangqiang grabbed the edge of the basket with both hands and turned it to his left side without hesitation. At the same time, he jumped up from the ground and pressed the wild boar under the basket.
The wild boar immediately struggled with all his strength, but perhaps due to the intoxication, its struggle did not overturn Dong Qiangqiang. While suppressing its counterattack, Dong Qiangqiang grabbed the metal rope on its hoof and tied it up with a sharp knife. Two front hooves, then while tying the hind hooves, he shouted to Duanmu: "Put that side down quickly."
"Ah? What?" Duanmu was still in a daze, "Put down what?"
"Put down the knot on the wall." Dong Qiangqiang ordered without hesitation, "Quick!"
Although Duanmu's legs were weak, he still stood up by holding on to the wall. He tremblingly took off the knot tied to the wall hook and threw it on the ground.
Dong Qiangqiang quickly tied the other end of the rope around the wild boar's hind hooves. After making sure that the front and rear hooves were tied firmly, he stepped aside.
The wild boar's limbs were tied up and it kicked around on the ground unwillingly, but the movement became smaller and smaller until it finally became motionless. Only the ups and downs of its belly showed that it was still alive.
It was late at night, and there was silence all around. Even the chirping of insects was gone. In Dong Qiangqiang's ears, there was only the rustling sound of the leaves above his head when the breeze blew.
Dong Qiangqiang leaned against the pile of firewood, panting heavily and feeling uncontrollably afraid.
He never expected that he, who had a lot of hunting experience, would almost capsize on an inconspicuous-looking little wild boar. Not only did he put himself in danger, but he also almost killed the kind-hearted classmate Duanmu. .
Thinking of this, he covered his face with his hands in pain, and fear, regret, and self-blame suddenly surged into his heart. For the first time, he realized that one thought of his could destroy two families.
Dong Qiangqiang's nose felt sour, and tears of regret slowly fell to the ground.
Seeing Dong Qiangqiang tying up the wild boar with dexterity, but instead of standing up, he squatted on the ground and cried. Duanmu didn't know what was going on, so he could only stand aside and stare at him blankly.
After a while, Dong Qiangqiang wiped his tears with the back of his hand and stood up supporting the pile of firewood. Duanmu saw this and asked tentatively: "Well... what should we do next? Are you still planning to let the pigs in? Then I may have to withdraw first."
"We must not let him go!" Dong Qiangqiang said resolutely, "If that happens, something will happen."
"Then what are your plans?" Duanmu asked in a low voice, "Should we withdraw now?"
Dong Qiangqiang calmed down a lot after crying. He thought about it seriously and said: "We can't open the door anymore. Let's divide all the bait in the bag into two halves and throw them along the wall and outside the back door. You can stare at them here. After eating the bait, I’ll do more, just in case.”
When Duanmu heard that he no longer had to face wild boars, he let out a sigh of relief and nodded: "As long as we don't let any more wild boars in, that will be fine."
Dong Qiangqiang immediately took out all the baits, split them in half, took out two bottles of high-alcohol whiskey, sprinkled them all on the baits, and then threw them out from the walls on both sides of the back door together with Duanmu.
The wild boars outside the back door had already dispersed in twos and threes under the surrounding grapevines. When they smelled the strong aroma of wine and vegetables, they immediately dropped the grapes and rushed towards the back door.
Seeing the wild boars eating with abandon, Dong Qiangqiang wiped the sweat from his forehead with joy.
He also threw the drunken wild boar into the iron cage, gave Duanmu a few more instructions, and then ran straight back to the kitchen to quickly prepare the next batch of bait.
While his hands and feet were busy, Johnson walked in quietly. Seeing that Dong Qiangqiang's clothes were dirty, his hair was messed up, and there were blood stains on his face, he couldn't help being surprised: "Are you okay? Do you want to see a doctor?"
"It's okay. Skin injury." Dong Qiangqiang pretended to be relaxed, "It's just a small matter."
"Well, Earl, she hasn't come back from the front door yet." There was something in Johnson's words.
"She never showed up at the back door." Dong Qiangqiang heard his subtext, "We remember what you said, don't worry."
While the two were talking, Duanmu's phone call came.
"How was it? Did any of them fall?" Dong Qiangqiang was very concerned about the results. He hoped to catch a few more and give them to Duanmu as compensation.
"Well, three of them have fallen, and three more are looking fast, and the remaining three seem to be fine. Oh, that's not right. I remember I counted ten in total, two inside and two outside. There are eight of them. Why are there nine of them outside now?"
"Maybe they came here smelling of alcohol," Dong Qiangqiang analyzed. "You tell me when they're all gone."
"Well, there's one more thing. I seemed to see a figure just now." Duanmu said suddenly.
Dong Qiangqiang was stunned.
