Chapter 199: Chapter 198: Of course, call the police! Otherwise, should I go up and fight it alone?

The wild boar wanted to break into the pigpen to snatch food.

It’s normal for wild boars to run out from the mountains in winter when there isn’t much food available.

This wild boar came up to the edge of Xu Yang’s farm and, upon smelling the aroma of the corn porridge in the pigpen, went a bit crazy.

It kept forcefully pushing against the iron gate of the pigpen.

"duang! duang! duang!"

It rammed with its face, seemingly unfazed by any pain in its snout.

The latch on the iron gate was screwed onto the wall and was already a bit unstable.

After several hits from the boar, it just came right off!

"Whoosh!"

The iron gate swung open.

The wild boar charged into the midst of the pigs, ready to fight for the food in the trough.

Xu Yang had battled with this wild boar several rounds already.

These creatures are really tough to deal with.

Their skin thick and their meat tough.

And with their temperaments both explosive and impulsive, they are indomitable.

So, the only option was to drive it away.

He lifted the shovel and started smacking the wild boar’s rear.

The space inside the pigpen was limited, so Xu Yang didn’t go inside.

In such a cramped place, it’s not suitable for fighting wild boars because there’s too little space to dodge, making it very easy to get attacked by the boar.

The boar didn’t care about Xu Yang’s attacks, just crazily devouring the pig feed.

"Damn, this guy is not afraid at all, just focused on eating!"

Xu Yang cursed.

The scene was rather chaotic.

The staff stood outside the pigpen, uncertain how to assist.

Li Shan held his mobile phone very steady, capturing the scene from an excellent angle, clearly well-practiced.

Just then, something unexpected happened.

Xu Yang’s pigs, white and plump, usually unimposing, turned out to be surprisingly robust.

A couple of the domestic pigs, unable to endure the rough wild boar, started to attack proactively.

Though lacking fierce tusks, the domestic pigs still pushed powerfully.

One could only see two domestic pigs, crazily ramming the wild boar with their heads, baffling the wild boar and nearly making it lose its balance, forcing it to retreat repeatedly.

As the wild boar ran from the pigpen, the staff took the opportunity to surround it.

Xu Yang initially wanted to drive the wild boar away with a shovel, but Wang Wu was more daring; he dropped the shovel, jumped directly onto the back of the wild boar, and tried to pin it down.

The strength of the wild boar was more than enough to carry an adult.

Feeling threatened, it suddenly leaped.

Wang Wu felt a massive force on his rear, and then he was flung into the air, crashing back to the ground.

The boar took the chance to start running out.

During its escape, Xu Yang, quick and alert, didn’t forget to strike its head twice with the shovel.

"Bang! Bang!"

To make it remember this lesson.

The scene was indeed quite chaotic.

The wild boar ran straight out and onto the farm’s open ground.

The staff stood still, watching the direction the boar had taken.

"Farmer, what should we do?"

Ma Wen asked.

Xu Yang glanced at him, responding,

"Of course, we call the police, what else, do I go up and have a showdown with it?"

Hearing Xu Yang say this, Ma Wen quickly nodded, then called the local police station.

It’s common to have wild boars entering farmers’ properties in winter.

Cases like this were numerous for the police to handle.

There was even a special squad for capturing boars.

The wild boar had not run out of the farm; it was strolling on the vacant land within the farm.

Looking at it, it had moved to the grass area, searching for the grass sprouting there.

About twenty minutes later, a pickup truck and a police car hurriedly arrived.

Three police officers got out of the car.

Liu Ming stepped out and asked Xu Yang,

"Old Xu, didn’t you raise a leopard? Why do you need us for catching a wild boar?"

Liu Ming had visited the farm several times; a person who tends to familiarize himself quickly, so he had a good rapport with Xu Yang.

Local police usually deal with conflicts, so they are well acquainted with many villagers.

"Don’t mention it, Xiao Hua it has no combat capability, it’s hiding now."

"Furthermore, I don’t even know how to deal with it."

"You guys are skilled, you do it."

Xu Yang responded with a smile.

"Right, staffing is low over the New Year, you guys lend a hand later, just help lift it up, and that will be enough."

"Currently, we have to deal with so many wild boars running out."

Liu Ming glanced at the wild boar; the other police were already preparing the net trap and the stun gun.

As for how to handle it, Xu Yang didn’t ask further.

What followed was straightforward; the police successfully captured the wild boar, tied it up, and several people loaded the bound boar into the vehicle.

After that, the police drove away.

This kind of situation still required calling the police.

Instances of wild boars, black bears breaking into farmers’ homes were plentiful.

In the Qinling area, even giant pandas have broken into farmhouses.

As to how to handle it, it depends on their protection status.

Those with high conservation status are carefully persuaded to leave.

Those with low status are taken away directly.

"How did this wild boar break in, come on, let’s go see where the fence has been broken."

Xu Yang headed out towards the exterior of the farm.

The staff followed along.

Two dogs also followed along.

At some point, Xiao Hua also appeared there.

Xu Yang patted its head, soothing it.

"It’s okay, you’re still a baby, we won’t involve you in this."

The farm’s fence was indeed broken open.

The wild boar was also very strong.

A section of the wooden fence had fallen to the ground, and the junction was already broken.

"This guy is really strong,"

Xu Yang remarked.

At that moment, Ma Wen said:

"Farmer, let Wang Wu and me handle this; the two of us are enough."

"Li Shan, fix the iron gate of the pigpen."

"This kind of thing is a small matter; you needn’t worry too much about it."

Upon hearing Ma Wen’s words, Wang Wu and Li Shan both chimed in.

The job wasn’t big, but it still needed to be done.

The farm’s workers were all very proactive.

"Alright, then please do the hard work,"

"I’ll tag along too, just to check if other places are loose, so we don’t let these critters in again."

Xu Yang arranged.

The appearance of the wild boar had added some work for the farm.

The workers began to split the tasks and get busy.

By noon, Xu Yang had simply edited the video taken by Li Shan and posted it on his video account.

The title was "The Intruding Wild Boar."

Fans immediately came across the video, saw Xu Yang starting another battle with a wild boar, and instantly found it hilarious.

They really enjoyed watching this scene.

Xu Yang and the wild boar had tussled several times before; they were old adversaries.

Everyone left comments in the comment section:

"Hahaha, Old Xu is really cunning, hitting the wild boar with a shovel more than a dozen times without getting attacked once!"

"I suggest driving out the domestic pigs, and then let Old Xu enter the pigpen for a 1v1 human-boar battle,"

"This is too funny!"

"Wow, those two domestic pigs are so fierce, they showed that wild boar what’s what!"

"Still have to rely on the domestic pigs, huh!"

The video had a bit of a flare-up.

It received a lot of likes and comments.

Xu Yang was now a big-time streamer, with excellent video metrics and a bunch of loyal fans.

This was the foundation of his live streaming.

As for the fate of the wild boar, netizens were not sure, and Xu Yang didn’t explain.

Everyone was happy to see entertaining content.

Reality often isn’t as interesting.

At noon, Xu Yang gave two dogs an extra meal.

He also added some meat for Leopard and even patted its big face to comfort it.

"No worries; some leopards don’t know how to hunt until they’re 3 years old and just mooch off their parents. You’re only 1 year old; you still have a lot of room for improvement."

"It’s fine to dodge these situations a little."

Xiao Hua, hearing Xu Yang’s words, visibly brightened up.

With the New Year approaching, there were many things to handle.

Xu Yang had the workers buy some firecrackers and fireworks in preparation for the New Year celebration.

This area didn’t ban fireworks in the winter.

However, areas close to the mountains were not allowed to have fireworks.

The village was also lively.

Many people came back from outside, and everyone spent days eating, drinking, chatting, or playing mahjong.

This season, mahjong was truly the main entertainment for everyone.

From time to time, Xu Yang would go to the mountains to complete a couple of treasure hunting tasks.

Since the tasks were near the farm, the rewards were relatively ordinary.

To get better tasks, he would need to go deeper into the mountains.

After figuring out this pattern, Xu Yang planned to venture deeper into the mountains in the future.

He could also receive some good rewards.

All was ready, just waiting for spring.

The spring here was still covered in snow, only not so cold anymore.

A lot of work could also get underway.

To feel thoroughly warm, it would have to wait until after May.

On New Year’s Day, fireworks filled the sky above the village; the village committee had bought 30,000 yuan worth of fireworks, all of which were set off at midnight.

The villagers gathered around to watch the fireworks.

The usual sparsely populated village was bustling that night, even a bit crowded.

It was rather cold outside.

After wandering around and watching the fireworks for a while, everyone went back to their homes.

The kids were all dressed in new clothes.

At this time, the village children were the happiest.

They had no pressure at all, only knowing that New Year’s meant new clothes and delicious food.

For adults, whether they had new clothes no longer mattered, nor did they care much about eating good food.

What they cared more about was having a holiday, a chance to mentally relax.

New Year’s now lacked the flavor of the past.

Possibly, it was also because people’s everyday lives were quite good, so they didn’t look forward to the New Year as much.

The farm had also set off some fireworks.

However, the workers had all gone home for the New Year.

Xu Yang and Li Shan had also gone home.

They didn’t return until after the New Year’s Eve dinner, driving back.

"It’s another new year."

Xu Yang felt a surge of anticipation.

Because of the system, his life had changed significantly over the past half-year.

He had acquired his own farm and met people from Agricultural University and the scenic area.

And this was just the beginning.

Starting next year, the farm would undergo new changes.

Xu Yang looked up at the sky full of fireworks.

It was still the familiar scent.

The air was cold, but breathing was easy; people greeted each other, sharing stories from their time away.

At this moment, the land once again heated up.
