Chapter 52: Let’s Go Kill Some Pigs
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Previously, there were five or six men who brought bows, arrows, knives, and forks to hunt wild boars. In the end, they were almost scared shitless by the wild boars that rushed over. The villagers had no choice but to cut some thorny thorns to block the edge of the peanut field, who knew that the wild boars had tough skin and thick flesh? In just a few moves, they knocked away the thorny thorns and then entered the peanut field. The peanut field was ravaged by the wild boars for several nights, and the villagers suffered heavy losses.
Village Chief Lin Shenghai reported the matter of the wild boar to the town government and waited for the people of the town government to come and resolve it. However, the recent assassination of General Long Zhanyuan had caused the people of the town government to have no time to care about such a small matter. If they waited for a few more days, the villagers’ peanuts would have been wasted. Some villagers had already endured the pain and pulled the immature peanuts back home.
Ah Jie came to find Song Yang because he wanted to invite the Song brothers to hunt wild boars. Song Xiuyan and Song Yang’s martial arts were strong, so their chances of killing wild boars would be higher. Song Yang was a little tempted, but he was also a little worried. If he and his big brother went to hunt wild boars, what if those people took the opportunity to take revenge at home?
Seeing Song Yang hesitate, Ah Jie was a little dissatisfied. “Actually, I’ve wanted to ask you and your big brother for help for a long time, but I thought that it would be inconvenient if your arm was injured, but now that your arm has recovered, aren’t you going to help?” Moreover, it wasn’t for nothing, after killing the wild boar, they could still make a considerable profit.
When Song Xiuyan heard Ah Jie’s words, he shook his head and said, “It’s too dangerous for us to hunt wild boars privately. People will die. We won’t go. It’s best if you don’t go either. Wait for the town government to send people over to take care of it.” He remembered that in his previous life, Ah Jie and the other people in the village went to hunt wild boars. In the end, Ah Jie’s wasn’t unlucky. He was stabbed in the heart by the wild boar’s tusks and died.
After the Song family village’s people lost their lives, the town government sent more than 20 people to besiege and kill this group of wild boars. If Song Xiuyan and Song Yang agreed to help, Ah Jie would definitely go with them. He couldn’t find a reason to persuade Ah Jie not to go with them, because only by going would he be able to get the wild boar meat. But if Ah Jie went with them, there was no guarantee that he wouldn’t be stabbed to death by the wild boar’s tusks. This was his fate.
Song Xiuyan had a deep understanding of how difficult it was to defy the heavens and change fate. However, just a few days ago, he had already warned Ah Jie not to go hunting wild boars. However, Ah Jie still insisted on going… Song Xiuyan was thinking of Ah Jie. However, Ah Jie’s expression was very ugly. Ah Jie had been entrusted by the villagers to invite the Song brothers. At that time, he had even patted his chest to guarantee that there would be no problems. He didn’t expect Song Xiuyan to reject him without any hesitation.
Song Yang also felt bad. Ah Jie was his good friend. He really didn’t want to reject him. Moreover, hunting wild boars was dangerous. However, he also knew his big brother’s concerns. He mistakenly thought that Song Xiuyan was worried that after they left, someone would come to the house to harm his younger brother and sister.
Song Xiuyan and Song Yang refused to go, and Ah Jie couldn’t kneel down and beg them. He squeezed out a forced smile. “It’s fine. It’s fine if you don’t go. It’s my fault. The injury on your arm hasn’t fully healed. If you get injured again, it’ll be troublesome…”
Song Yang felt a little guilty. “I’m sorry, Ah Jie…”
Song Xiuyan reminded Ah Jie again, “You mustn’t go hunting wild boars. You’re young and can’t outrun a male wild boar. If an accident happens, there’s no medicine for regret!”
Ah Jie’s expression, which had just calmed down, turned ugly again. Song Xiuyan’s words were too upsetting. He hadn’t even gone yet, and he was already cursing him? Ah Jie said a little indignantly, “If you and Song Yang don’t go, we definitely won’t dare to go!” After saying that, he walked out.
Song Xiuyan didn’t stop Ah Jie. He had already made up his mind. If Ah Jie really wanted to go hunting wild boars tonight, he could only knock him out secretly. If the others wanted to go, then so be it. In his previous life, they weren’t killed by wild boars either. In this life, they should be fine.
Ding Yao looked at Song Xiuyan for a while, then suddenly raised her hand and gestured. “I’ve thought of a good way to hunt wild boars.”
Song Xiuyan was stunned. “What way?”
Ding Yao continued to gesture. “The large trumpet flower we picked previously has been dried and ground into powder. It’s the main ingredient in making Monosodium glutamate. If used alone, it can also knock people out. We can boil a pot of food and add the large trumpet flower pollen into it. We can put it in the peanut field to lure the wild boars over to eat it. After they are all unconscious, we can kill them.”
