Chapter 533: Chapter 529: Troublesome Matters When Returning to Hometown 64 [Mass Release 58]

——————

A quick glance revealed that the other two piglets were marching outward in unison, as if setting off to look for food.

Clearly, these two litters of piglets thought that their elders had gone to forage, and now they were grunting a certain rhythmic sound, all the while pushing forward through the earth.

These two were actually quite smart, sticking together wherever they went!

For a moment, Xie Jingbin and his three companions were at a loss about how to deal with these two piglets!

Though they were only about a hundred pounds and even smaller than half of Zhou Guoqing’s size, they were wild beasts with a violent nature. Facing these two piglets head-on was clearly not a wise idea.

"What should we do?" whispered Zhou Guoqing.

"It’s pointless to blindly follow them; how about using a diversion tactic, spread out and tackle them one by one?!"

"How do we do that? Explain clearly, Brother Bin. If it’s feasible, let’s do it!" Zhou Guoqing’s eyes sparkled with excitement and eagerness.

"I’ll explain, and you guys think it over too, see if the plan works. We’ve been running around this terrain back and forth for a while; we’re pretty familiar with it now."

Everyone nodded in agreement, turning their gazes to Xie Jingbin:

"We can utilize that pit we dug for catching the other two pigs! We’ll spread out in four directions. There are only two wild pigs, so if we coordinate well, two people against one piglet could work!

First, we use the slingshot to hit one. If only one comes, then we split into two groups and lead the pig around.

If both come at the same time, I’ll act as the bait and lure them towards the pit, while you guys assist from the sides. As long as we manage to lead one into the pit, we win, and we’ll have roast suckling pig for dinner!"

"What if we don’t manage to lead it into the pit?" Zhou Weimin pointed out a potential flaw.

"In that case, you’ll need to be quicker. Among the four of us, I have the best stamina and I’m the oldest, so it’s only right that I lead one of the piglets around the woods. Just remember, to save me, you’ll need to be fast and safety comes first!"

"No, that’s too risky. Let’s think of another method!" Xie Yuting immediately objected, "Roast suckling pig is delicious indeed, but we must be alive to enjoy it! With this plan, once we shoot the slingshot, it won’t be easy to keep things under control!"

Everyone agreed; indeed, wild pigs are ferocious—it’s not something they can manipulate at will.

"What should we do then?" Zhou Guoqing was stumped, tempted to roll his eyes in frustration, but just then, he remembered the acorn tree he had spotted earlier while they were eating their dry rations!

"I’ve got it!" Zhou Guoqing exclaimed with delight, pointing at the acorn tree nearby: "Brother Bin, we can use acorns! Wild pigs are omnivores, not picky eaters, but come winter, they love acorns the most! We can use acorns to scatter them, one after the other!"

"Right, with slingshots!" Xie Yuting’s eyes lit up, meeting Zhou Guoqing’s gaze as both men excitedly made their way to the acorn tree.

"It’s so tall!" Looking up at the towering oak tree that seemed to pierce into the clouds, their eyes widened.

Zhou Weimin, following behind, grinned, revealing his big white teeth as he quipped:

"These wild pigs normally charge and bump into trees to make the fruit fall. It’s also why their hides are trained to be incredibly thick!"

"Come on, Brother Wei Min, quit the wisecracks and tell us how we’re going to get the fruit down!"

"You big pig, is looking up all you can do? Can’t you see the plenty of acorns piled beneath the leaves? Why are you fixated on looking up at those fruits clearly out of your reach?!" Xie Jingbin smacked Zhou Guoqing on the back and started picking up acorns with the other two friends.

Zhou Guoqing may say he’s not the sharpest tool in the shed, but he’s got a nimble mind—sometimes to a fault, making them both laugh and cry.

Yan Jinsu was already blooming with laughter inside as she listened to their banter!

These kids, they’re growing up so fast!

Afterward, sure enough, the kids had it all figured out, luring the two piglets in opposite directions one after another.

Then Zhou Guoqing cleverly climbed up a tree, armed with a pile of acorns, and when a piglet heard its sibling’s call and tried to leave, he would taunt it with acorns!

After several attempts, the piglet kept circling the tree Zhou Guoqing’s butt was perched upon, occasionally bumping into it and scaring Zhou Guoqing into clinging onto the trunk for dear life!

Fortunately, he had picked the most sturdy tree to climb!

Miraculously, Zhou Guoqing managed to keep the piglet at bay, filled with nothing but impotent rage.

And Zhou Guoqing even had the mood to occasionally throw acorns at it, noticing that it was still led by its stomach to root around for food. Zhou Guoqing felt relieved—it wasn’t fixated on him to a fault!

Then, about ten minutes later, another piglet fell into the pit trap!

Its scream as it fell was wrenching because the piglet was all too adept at falling—it didn’t just pop its cherry; it was thoroughly impaled!

The scene was so visceral that Yan Jinsu almost vomited her lunch out.

Because the piglet was in such pain the moment it fell, it couldn’t help but expel—or perhaps drop—from inside its bowels.

It was such a sight that Yan Jinsu, who hadn’t seen anything like this in a long while, felt utterly disgusted!

Upon witnessing this, Zhou Weimin immediately ignored the fallen piglet and, along with Xie Yuting and a few others, ran to their assigned positions. They took turns dodging in and out, taunting from the left, right, above, and below. The kids were exhausted and sweating heavily, tumbling over branches and vines without a sound.

The two police officers quietly observing on the side admired Yan Jinsu’s unconventional on-site teaching methods, murmuring words of praise in awe.

By the time Zhou Weihai came back with reinforcements, the task of hunting the three piglets was completed, leaving Zhou Weihai in continuous surprise and beaming with pride—a look that just couldn’t fade from his dark face.

Working together, the kids loaded their quarry onto a bamboo stretcher, and the whole group cheerfully descended the mountain.

Passing the previously dug hunting pits, they even snagged a few small animals—a truly fruitful return!

When Yan Jinsu led everyone back, it could be said that they caused quite the uproar and sensation in Qingfeng Village.

Triumphantly returning with a full load!

The earlier capture of a wild boar weighing more than three hundred pounds was already staggering enough.

But who would have thought that just a half an hour later, three little piglets, weighing roughly a hundred pounds each, would be hauled back!

Xie Jinggang, who had just returned with his wife and children, looked at his Second Sister-in-law’s slender arms and felt his legs go weak—he knew his Third Brother was capable, but he didn’t expect his brother’s wife to be even more of a force to reckon with!

It was downright superhuman!

Following Dad’s orders, Xie Jinggang came to the village committee with his wife to help cook or lend a hand, while Cai Xia arrived just as Zhou Weihai was leading his boar down the mountain. Learning that Yan Jinsu had taught the villagers how to hunt this big boar, she felt completely overwhelmed!

What on earth was his Third Sister-in-law trying to do?!
