Chapter 109: Wild Boar
Yun Jiao: “You stupid turtle, you need to hide better, don’t let others catch you.”
If she let them go, and others caught them to sell for money, she felt like she’d be at a huge loss.
Just as Yun Jiao was thinking about catching fish or other edible things in the river, Yun Xiao Jiu by the shore was facing a crisis.
“Wild boars, wild boars are coming down the mountain.”
Accompanied by startled shouts and a messy, heavy sound of footsteps, something was running towards them.
“Kid over there, hurry and get out of the way, get out of the way!”
Yun Xiao Jiu turned his head and saw several wild boars of various sizes running towards him.
Even a half-grown wild boar, if it hit Yun Xiao Jiu, would be in trouble, let alone so many.
“Ninth Brother, jump into the water!”
As soon as Yun Jiao surfaced, she saw the thrilling scene. Her body moved like the fastest fish towards Yun Xiao Jiu, and she quickly shouted for him to jump into the water.
Yun Xiao Jiu’s mind was blank at this moment, he wanted to run, but his legs wouldn’t obey.
Amidst the chaos, he still caught Yun Jiao’s voice, and then his body reacted, and he jumped into the water.
The moment he jumped into the water, the wild boars behind him also leaped into the river.
Yun Jiao held Yun Xiao Jiu’s body and unleashed the explosive power she had from her previous life, when she wasn’t yet a top predator and was chased by big fish in the sea, moving like an arrow to the side.
The front hoof of the first wild boar that jumped into the water barely grazed Yun Jiao and her sibling.
A second later, Yun Xiao Jiu would have been trampled by that hoof, which would have certainly caused serious injury.
“Cough, cough, cough…”
Because Yun Jiao’s burst of speed was too fast, Yun Xiao Jiu’s face contorted in the water, and he couldn’t hold his breath, choking on several mouthfuls of water.
But fortunately, they had escaped danger.
Yun Jiao’s eyes stared angrily at the group of wild boars.
“Brother, go ashore.”
After saying that, Yun Jiao dived into the water.
“Little Sister, Little Sister, what are you doing, come back, cough, cough, cough…”
Yun Xiao Jiu was extremely panicked, and his coughing made his eyes red.
At this time, Yun Jiao had already dived into the water, found a sharp, large stone, and swam towards the group of wild boars.
Meanwhile, the people who had chased after them hadn’t given up on the wild boars.
“Quick, go around from the other side.”
“How much grain have these guys ruined, we can’t let them get away!”
As they chased the wild boars, many people arrived carrying knives, hoes, and other tools.
They were numerous, and now the wild boars were like walking meat to them, and they were determined not to let them go.
So, those who could swim jumped into the water, chasing after the wild boars.
Those with poorer water skills took a detour, swimming towards the shallow water on the other side of the river.
As those who could swim were struggling to keep up with the wild boars, they suddenly saw a stone emerge from the water.
Them: ???
“What is that thing?”
That was Yun Jiao, of course.
Yun Jiao held a grudge and targeted the large wild boar that had almost trampled her brother. She swam stealthily in the water at an extremely fast speed, raised the stone in her hand, and smashed it at its head.
With great force.
The wild boar cried out in pain and struggled intensely.
Yun Jiao emerged, grabbed its tusks, and pushed the roughly two-hundred-pound wild boar into the water.
The people following behind were all astonished, some even forgot to swim and swallowed several mouthfuls of water.
“Holy crap, what is that thing?”
“A… water ghost?”
The wild boar Yun Jiao was pressing into the water struggled desperately, but in the water, it was no match for Yun Jiao.
Yun Jiao dragged it down with one hand and used her other hand to repeatedly smash its eyes and head with her little fists.
Wild boars, on land, are like walking tanks, with thick skin and powerful impact force.
But in the water, their combat effectiveness is greatly reduced.
However, for any normal person, it would be impossible to hold a two-hundred-pound wild boar underwater.
“What are you waiting for, hurry and chase those wild boars!”
Regardless of whether it was a water ghost, they wouldn’t let it interfere with their meat now!
By the time those people reached the shore and started fighting the wild boars, a nearly dead wild boar also surfaced from the water.
Yun Jiao grabbed the wild boar’s remaining tusk and swam towards the shore.
As for the other tusk, it had been broken off during the struggle.
“Jiaojiao!”
Yun Xiao Jiu swam over, he was already crying from worry.
“How could you be so daring.”
When Yun Xiao Jiu saw Yun Jiao push the wild boar into the water, he was almost scared to death.
Yun Jiao showed him a smile.
It was just that her face and body were still stained with blood, making her smile look a bit pathetic.
Yun Xiao Jiu cried again, but even while crying, he didn’t forget to check Yun Jiao for any injuries.
“Why is there so much blood, show me where you’re hurt, wuwuwu…”
“It’s my fault, how can I be so useless and need my little sister to save me.”
“Wuwuwu… Jiaojiao, please be okay.”
Yun Jiao:…………
“I’m fine, Ninth Brother, this is the wild boar’s blood.”
“Are you really okay? Let me see.”
Yun Xiao Jiu circled Yun Jiao, checking her arms, legs, stomach, and back.
Once he was sure she was unharmed, he hugged her tightly.
His body was trembling slightly: “You scared me to death.”
Thinking about how his little sister saved him, Yun Xiao Jiu secretly vowed to give his little sister all the good things in the future.
Cheers came from the opposite bank of the river.
They had also killed three wild boars and caught two young ones, with one large and three small ones escaping.
But that was enough to make them happy.
After the excitement, they carried the wild boars and headed back.
Yun Linhai and Uncle Shen arrived at the riverbank at this time.
The commotion was quite large, and Yun Linhai, hearing the news, couldn’t rest assured about the children and rushed over.
They arrived just as a group of people were returning with the wild boars.
Seeing their smiling faces, it was clear their harvest was good.
These wild boars were all their spoils of war, and now they didn’t even need to share these spoils with the entire village or even the whole brigade.
These few wild boars would only be divided among the group who participated in the hunt.
“It’s really wild boars, where did you find them?”
“In the cornfield, these guys ate quite a bit of corn.”
“With so much meat, you’ll each get a good share, right?”
Those who arrived late were envious and regretful; if they had heard the news earlier and hurried over, perhaps they could have gotten a share.
“Jiaojiao, Xiao Jiu!”
Yun Linhai and Shen Yunlian saw Yun Jiao and Yun Xiao Jiu, and the others also looked over, and they were astonished.
“Am I seeing things correctly? Is that a wild boar lying over there?”
“It really looks like it!”
Everyone was curious, especially since it was a wild boar, so a group of people followed Yun Linhai and the others over.
“It’s really a wild boar, who killed this wild boar?!”
