Chapter 384: Chapter 383: Leading the Worst Cohort of Adults

Wild boar meat is actually not tasty; the flavor is heavy and the texture unpleasant.

But it is still meat, and especially such a large quantity of meat.

Initially, the villagers thought they had caught a single wild boar. When they went to take a look, everyone was stunned.

Wild boars scattered all over the ground.

Six large ones, four small ones, all shot and throats slit. They were all thoroughly dead and posed no further threat.

"Wow... if we hadn’t discovered this in time, we would’ve really suffered!"

Someone said something.

In an instant, everyone started to feel a sense of fear.

Wild boars are not known for their good temperament; they don’t abide by the rule of not harming if not harmed. Even as people work in the fields, minding their own business, they could still be attacked by wild boars. They must have come down the mountain in search of food, now that the fields are blanketed in snow. Without finding anything to eat, they would have charged into homes, right?

A few lively and carefree children, shouting "meat, meat," bounced around wanting to touch the dead wild boars.

Before they could even take a step, they were yanked back by the scruff of their necks by their parents, who then slapped them twice on the butt, leaving the children dumbfounded until they remembered to say, "See? That’s a wild boar. It can gore you to death! Its tusks, they will leave holes in you if they bite! Next time you see one, run immediately!"

Dressed in thick winter clothes, the children hardly felt the spanks on their bottoms and their eyes were still fixed on the meat, the parental warnings quickly scattered by the northwestern wind.

Lin Nianhe, holding Wang Xiaomei’s hand, followed the steps of the villagers towards the scene. They had just arrived and hadn’t yet glimpsed how many wild boars there were when Lin Nianhe’s view was blocked.

Su Yuncheng stood in front of her, frowning slightly and said, "Don’t go over there yet, it’s not been cleaned up."

He was covered in blood, with snow on his clothes as well—it appeared the struggle with the herd of wild boars had not been easy.

Lin Nianhe asked him, "Are you hurt?"

"No."

"What about the others?"

"No one else is."

Feng Wei squatted by a wall, smoking, his left hand bleeding profusely. He weakly said, "Brother Cheng, am I not human?"

He was covered in snow from head to toe and looked extremely disheveled.

Su Yuncheng gave him a sidelong glance: "Useless."

Seeing Feng Wei’s hand, Lin Nianhe quickly pushed Wang Xiaomei, who was beside her, into Second Aunt Li’s arms for her to look after, then rushed over to Feng Wei with urgency in her voice, "Were you bitten by the wild boar? We need to get to the health clinic fast, you need to get vaccinated."

A wild boar’s bite is no small matter, riddled with germs.

Feng Wei’s face turned red, stammering without speaking.

Su Yuncheng said, "He fell into the snowdrift, cut by a branch."

Su Yuncheng felt annoyed just thinking about the scene.

Originally, the two of them, each with a gun, with Feng Wei providing cover while he took down the wild boars, should have been an easy task. But from the very beginning, this guy got himself buried.

He suddenly disappeared into the snow, not only shocking the already scared villagers completely but also stunning the fierce boars for a moment!

Su Yuncheng was especially reluctant now to admit this man was a soldier he had brought along.

Lin Nianhe: "..."

She was already recalling whether a rabies vaccine had been widely available at that time, and considering how to reasonably bring out a vaccine from her own stash to save lives, and yet, it turns out Comrade Earthquake Feng had injured himself from a fall?

Lin Nianhe stood up straight, speechless, and said, "I have alcohol and wound medicine; I’ll get some for you later."

The 210-pound fatty, with tears welling up in his eyes, pleaded grievously, "Sister Lin, can’t you get it for me now? It really hurts quite a bit!"

Lin Nianhe hadn’t responded when Su Yuncheng kicked him in the butt: "You still have the face to boss others around?"

The chubby kid was as steady as Mount Tai, but felt even more wronged.

"Starting tomorrow, run fifteen kilometers with a load every day, and then practice boxing for two hours," Su Yuncheng said coldly.

"Ah? For how many days? Brother Cheng, you’re not going to make me run until I die, are you?"

"Until you’ve lost all that flab."

Earthquake Feng: "...!"

Isn’t this just making him run until he dies?

Su Yuncheng ignored him and turned to Lin Nianhe, "Nianhe, come with me for a minute."

"Okay... Wait a moment, I’ll first go deliver the clothes to Sister Lirong."

Feng Wei watched their retreating figures with puppy dog eyes, wanting to cry but too ashamed to do so.

Niuwa appeared beside him at some point, offering him a handkerchief, looking at him with eyes full of pity, sighing.

Feng Wei wrapped the handkerchief around his left hand and, seeing Niuwa’s hesitant expression, couldn’t help asking, "What’s the matter?"

Niuwa, with a frown on his little brow, earnestly said, "Brother Feng Wei, you really shouldn’t have asked Sister Hehe to get medicine for you just now."

Feng Wei: "...?"

Is this little kid teaching him how to be a person?

Niuwa shook his head, his hands behind his back, walking toward the distance, "Ah... Adults are really hard..."

...

The wild boar was brought to the grain drying yard, where villagers scalded it with hot water, de-haired and butchered the meat, gathering almost all the villagers, with joyful laughter everywhere.

Li Dahe couldn’t stop smiling until his eyes disappeared, standing at the forefront saying, "The wild pig today was shot with the help of Comrade Xiao Su. He’s a good officer in the army, a good comrade of the people... Xiao Su, come up and say a few words... Hm? Where’s Xiao Su?"

Li Dahe looked around and couldn’t find Su Yuncheng.

Looking again, he couldn’t see Lin Nianhe either.

Li Dahe stopped looking and quickly amended, "Comrade Xiao Su is tired, let him go back to rest, let’s process the pig, divide the pork! Same old rules, divided per capita, kids under ten count as half, seniors over sixty as one and a half! One person per family, line up!"

The grain drying yard was bustling with joy, and the villagers were all very happy.

Meanwhile, Su Yuncheng accompanied Lin Nianhe first to Uncle Guan’s house to deliver a coat to Zheng Lirong, then walked with her along the base of the mountain.

Lin Nianhe asked him, "Brother Yuncheng, what are you looking for?"

Su Yuncheng picked up a gray acorn from under a tree root nearby and handed it to Lin Nianhe, "Take a look."

Lin Nianhe: "This is... what?"

"Acorn," said Su Yuncheng, "Wild pigs like to eat them."

"Hm?" Lin Nianhe blinked in surprise, then quickly understood his implication, "You mean, the wild pig herd wasn’t chasing down the mountain after us?"

"I first thought the encounter with the wild pigs was a coincidence, maybe we entered their territory," Su Yuncheng said with a serious expression, "But think about where we were, it’s not far from the village; it shouldn’t have wild pigs."

"Indeed, the villagers often go there to gather firewood; I’ve never heard of anyone encountering wild pigs."

"Moreover, it’s winter now. With snow covering wild fruits and with mice and roe deer dying of cold and hunger, wild pigs are not short of food and should not be coming down the mountain."

Lin Nianhe, looking at the acorn in her hand, furrowed her brows slightly: "So you suspect someone deliberately scattered acorns on the snow to lure the pigs down the mountain? But... what for?"

Su Yuncheng took the acorn from Lin Nianhe’s hand, casually tossing it back under the tree, "I just find it strange and am a bit suspicious; let’s search around a bit more."

Lin Nianhe watched the parabola traced by the acorn, feeling that Su Yuncheng’s suspicions were justified.
