1942, I lived on hunting

Li Hao put on night vision glasses and turned on the magnification function.

The herd of wild boars came from the direction of Li Lahu across the river. First, a big boar appeared at the edge of the woods. It was about one meter tall, with a black, strong and sturdy body and long fangs sticking out. It stood at the edge of the bushes, raising its head and sniffing vigilantly, its ears moving slightly, as if it smelled an unusual smell in the air. The big boar snorted, and the noisy wild boars behind it suddenly became silent. Li Hao thought he was discovered, and he couldn't help but feel nervous.

The big boar turned back to the woods, and soon appeared at the edge of the woods again. It went back and forth several times, and finally it started to walk slowly towards the puddle in the middle of the river, stopping from time to time to sniff around. Finally, as if it was sure there was no danger, the big boar snorted again, and the wild boars in the woods ran out grunting and followed the big boar leader straight to the puddle. There were about 40 wild boars in the family, some big and some small, with huge differences in size. The largest boar leader could weigh more than 300 to 400 kilograms, and the smallest was probably only 40 to 50 kilograms.

At first, two half-grown wild boars took a few sips of water, then quickly stepped back and looked around. Then, several large wild boars also took a few sips and quickly left the water hole to look around, looking alert and ready to run away at any time.

After several rounds, the wild boars finally finished their test. The little piglets couldn't hold back any longer and started drinking with their mouths in the water, leaving only their big nostrils exposed. The leader of the big boars came over and pushed the little wild boars aside with one mouthful, and then he started drinking the water himself. Seeing this, the other wild boars also ran over and drank the water around the puddle.

At this time, Li Hao quietly opened the safety and aimed at a medium-sized boar. He heard a loud whistle from a tree not far away, and then a crisp gunshot came over.

Li Hao knew that it was Maodan who started shooting, so he quickly pulled the trigger. With a "bang", the wild boar that Li Hao was aiming at sat down on the ground and then fell to one side.

Li Hao quickly pulled the bolt and loaded the gun. At this time, the wild boars were in a panic and turned around to run away. The wild boars fled in all directions without paying attention to their buttocks. Li Hao didn't know which one to aim at for a moment, so he could only choose one that was closer to him. He fired another shot, and it was obvious that he hit the target. The wild boar staggered but did not fall down. After stabilizing itself, it continued to run away. Li Hao quickly shot it again, and this time it knocked it down. Then Li Hao continued to load the gun. When he aimed again, the wild boars had already run to the edge of the forest. Li Hao raised his hand and aimed at a slightly larger black shadow, and knocked it down with another shot.

At this time, the sound of Li Lahu's pistol came, "bang, bang, bang, bang", the sounds were almost continuous.

After Li Hao finished shooting the three wild boars, the wild boar herd basically disappeared, and Li Lahu's gunfire also stopped. Only Maodan was still aiming at the wild boars running wildly in the river and shooting. The wild boars in the river had already escaped the effective range of the red round-headed bullets. It was estimated that Maodan had changed the bullets and fired two more shots before he stopped.

"Go down and shoot again!" Li Lahu's voice came from the other side of the river.

Li Hao and Maodan both got down from the tree, then walked over and shot at the wild boars that were not yet dead. They counted the number of wild boars as they shot. There were two by the puddle, three on the way from the puddle to the woods, two by the woods, and Maodan said there was one more in the river in the distance. He just didn't know how many were left behind by Li Lahu.

Maodan went to drag the pig back from a distance, while Li Hao changed to a box gun and went into the woods to find Li Lahu who was still shooting.

"How's it going, old man? How many did you hit?"

Li Lahu's voice came from a thorn bush: "Come and give me a hand. This little pig got hurt and came here."

Li Hao hurried forward, took out an axe, chopped down a few juniper trees and threw them aside so that Li Lahu could drag the little wild boar out.

Li Lahu: "Pistol bullets are still not enough. I shot three small ones. I shot a big wild boar, but it didn't even stagger. It just paused and continued running."

Li Hao: "That's not bad. We caught 6 big ones and 2 small ones, plus your three. It's a big harvest today!"

Li Lahu was also very satisfied: "Not bad, not bad, this is almost catching up with the results of our whole village hunting together in the mountains!"

When Maodan dragged the pigs over, he heard that a wounded wild boar had escaped, so he asked: "Li Hao, do you want to chase it? Grandpa stays here to watch over these, we'll go and see if we can catch it."

Li Hao asked: "Grandpa, where was the wild boar hit?"

Li Lahu led them to a stone not far away and said, "It's next to this stone."

Li Hao turned on the scanning function of the night vision goggles and found no large bloodstains, only a few blood spots the size of rice grains.

Li Hao: "No need to chase them. I guess they haven't even penetrated the wild boar's hide completely."

Wild boars like to rub against pine trees. The bark of pine trees is thick and hard, which can relieve itching. While rubbing, the resin secreted by pine trees will stick to the wild boars, which can protect the wild boars from mosquitoes, parasites and ticks. In addition, wild boars like to roll in the mud after rubbing against pine trees. Over the years, a thick layer of mud is accumulated on their bodies, just like wearing a bulletproof vest. Li Lahu's pistol bullet was engraved with a cross, which was powerful after entering the body, but relatively speaking, the penetration was not good, so the wild boar only suffered minor injuries.

Maodan: "Li Hao, what are you going to do with these wild boars?"

Li Hao: "What are the rules when you hunt?"

Maodan: "The rules for hunting wild boars here are simple. If we kill a lot of wild boars at a time, we just take out the internal organs and hang them on a tree to offer to the mountain god, to thank him for providing us with prey. There is nothing else to do."

Li Lahu: "If it were in our place, we would clean the pig's head and cook it with water and salt after returning home, and offer it to the mountain god. After offering it, we could share it and eat it!"

Li Hao asked them to prepare according to their own customs. Li Lahu directly chopped off a wild boar's head with an axe and tied it with vines to take it away. Maodan took out a set of internal organs and hung them on a tree. Li Hao himself removed the hind legs of several wild boars.

Li Hao looked at his watch and said, "It's already two o'clock in the afternoon. You should pack up your equipment and go back to the camp to pack up your things. On the way, check if there are any gains from the traps we set yesterday. I'm going to hunt wild sheep and we'll camp on the cliff slope that Maodan mentioned tonight. I'll come to find you after I deal with the wild boar, and then we'll set off."

Upon hearing this, Li Lahu and Maodan packed up their things, picked up the wild boar head and turned back to the camp.

Li Hao scanned the surroundings with night vision goggles to confirm that it was safe, and then received the wild boars in batches and traded them to the system. One wild boar was worth 1000 points, regardless of size or whether it was complete. After selling all the points, Li Hao directly paid back the points he owed to the system, leaving more than 6000 points. This made Li Hao very happy. Not only was he debt-free, but he also made a small fortune. It felt great to be rich again!

Li Hao chuckled for a while, put the wild boar legs into the space, and then went back to the camp to find Li Lahu and the others.
