Chapter 72 Big guy
Author: Xianfeng Yingxiu
Gao Mingcheng didn't know how powerful Xiao Li's flying knife was, but he knew that after his physical fitness became better, he would be able to master it quickly no matter what he did.
After he got the sharp knife, he began to practice throwing. He first chose a tree, and then practiced from near to far, left and right, until every time he drew the knife, he could accurately hit the same place.
After some practice, he felt comfortable throwing the flying knife, as if the flying knife had become a hand formed by his mind, and he could control the direction and strength at will.
After careful observation, he found that among the five adult pigs in the wild boar herd, there were three sows and two boars. Gao Mingcheng decided to get a boar.
The meat of sows after they have given birth is not as delicious and the skin is thicker. The more they give birth, the worse the meat quality becomes. No one in their village wants to eat the old sows.
The boar targeted by Gao Mingcheng was slightly away from the group, and was rummaging for bugs in the woods next to the puddle.
The wild boar is an omnivore and has a wide range of diets. It eats whatever is available in season. In addition to plants, it will also eat bugs, eggs, baby birds, baby snakes, voles, etc.
Three, two, one!
Gao Mingcheng counted silently in his mind, then waved his hand, and the sharp knife in his hand quickly flew towards the wild boar in a parabola.
There was a slight sound of breaking through the air, and the sharp knife had accurately pierced one of the wild boar's eyes.
The wild boar was frightened and in pain, raised its head and howled, then ran away in panic.
The noise it made also frightened other wild boars. They didn't bother to see where the danger came from and ran away instinctively.
With a snapping sound, the wild boars quickly disappeared into the forest like a tornado.
The moment the sharp knife was released, Gao Mingcheng took action.
He chased towards his targeted prey, using his hands to block branches along the way to avoid being hit on his head.
The trees in the deep mountains have not been damaged by humans and grow very densely. In some places, Gao Mingcheng couldn't get in at all, so he had to take a detour.
The wild boar has disappeared without a trace, but Gao Mingcheng can still hear the sound it made, and can judge the specific location of the wild boar through the sound.
There was a large vine growing in front of him, blocking his way forward. Gao Mingcheng pulled out his dagger and cut the vine with a few brush strokes. He only made it big enough for one person to pass through, and he refused to stop.
Cut again.
There was a long trail of blood left on the ground, which was what the wild boar had flowed out after being injured. The faster it ran now, the more blood would flow from the wound. The bayonet stuck in the eye would continue to cause harm to the wild boar.
But the wild boar's vitality was so tenacious that Gao Mingcheng chased it for nearly ten minutes before he saw it.
The reason why we can see it is not that the wild boar is exhausted and cannot run away, but that it fell into a pit!
The pit was formed naturally, but due to years of vegetation growth, the surface of the pit was obscured by various vines, branches and leaves. To the naked eye, it was impossible to tell that there was another pit underneath.
The wild boar also panicked and fell into the pit.
Originally, if it had not been injured, it would have been able to kick up hard, but it had lost too much blood and was almost exhausted, so it was difficult to escape from the predicament.
"Huh, it's really difficult! If only there was a hunting dog." Gao Mingcheng exhaled a breath and didn't rush forward. After he had rested, he stepped forward holding the dagger.
First he cut his throat to bleed, and then he pulled out the sharp knife stuck in his eye socket.
When he pulled it out, he used a little strength because the knife had already penetrated into the bone.
He casually pulled a piece of weed and wiped the blood on the sharp knife, then took it back to his waist.
After the wild boar's throat was cut, a large amount of blood gushed out, but even so, it was not completely dead and kept making slight snoring sounds.
Gao Mingcheng stood guard next to it until it was completely out of breath and drained of blood. Then he walked down into the pit and tried to carry the wild boar on his shoulders.
After weighing its weight, Gao Mingcheng guessed that the wild boar should weigh less than 200 kilograms, or about 1,560 kilograms.
This is a big guy!
He carried the wild boar, and after identifying the direction, he went all the way down the mountain.
When we went down the mountain, it was dark.
Although he has good physical strength and can run fast, he is too light to get up with a wild boar weighing more than 100 kilograms on his shoulders!
However, darkness also has its advantages. When he carried the wild boar down the mountain, no one saw him.
When he returned to Grandma Xii's house, as soon as he entered the gate, Gao Zhuang heard some noise in the house and hurriedly came out to check the situation.
Seeing that Gao Mingcheng was indeed back, he immediately approached him with bright eyes.
"Brother Mingcheng, you really hit a wild boar! It's amazing! It's amazing!"
"Grandma, bring the light bulb into the yard!" Gao Zhuang shouted into the house. Grandma Xi was also waiting for Gao Mingcheng to come back. She quickly took the light bulb wire outside and fixed it with a bamboo pole.
The light bulb now is not fixed in any position, but is held by a thread. You can fix it in one place or move it to another place when needed.
This makes lighting easier.
"Oh, I really hit a wild boar! This pig is not small, at least more than 100 kilograms! Mingcheng, how do you do it? Do you want to boil water and shave it?"
Grandma Xi looked at Gao Mingcheng, and when Gao Mingcheng nodded, she went to the kitchen to boil water.
But Gao Mingcheng shook his head and said: "Don't shave, the wild boar's skin is thick and not tasty. I'll just skin it!"
Gao Mingcheng didn't plan to boil water and pluck the hair. Firstly, the skin of the wild boar was really unpalatable, and secondly, he didn't have the tools at home.
People who specialize in killing pigs will have a set of tools for killing pigs.
Sharp knives, bone-cutting knives, scrapers, iron hooks, large wooden basins, etc. Without these things, it would be difficult to slaughter a pig.
"Gao Zhuang, go get that old door panel!" Gao Mingcheng ordered. Because he had been preparing to kill a wild boar, he had cleaned the old door panel in advance so that it could be used directly now.
"Okay!" Gao Zhuang was very excited, as if he had shot a wild boar.
Seeing that Gao Mingcheng seemed to want to skin him immediately, Grandma Xi finally thought of something. She quickly called out to Gao Mingcheng: "Mingcheng, don't rush to do things yet. Go and eat quickly. I left some food for you in the big iron pot."
, it should still be warm.”
After being reminded like this, Gao Mingcheng also felt hungry.
Anyway, the wild boar is already at home, so there is no rush to clean it up for a while, it is more important to eat first.
So he walked to the kitchen, but was stopped by Gao Zhuang. Gao Zhuang said with a smile on his face: "Brother Mingcheng, give me that dagger, and I will skin you!"
Gao Mingcheng frowned and glanced at Gao Zhuang up and down distrustfully.
Gao Zhuang straightened his back and expressed his attitude: "I can definitely do it!"
After learning that Gao Mingcheng had brought back a dagger from the county town, Gao Zhuang looked at it carefully, but Gao Mingcheng was willing to show it to him, but refused to let him use it.
Now I finally have the opportunity to feel the power of the dagger!
Chapter completed!
