Stepmother in charge: Making a fortune through farming and raising her children to fight back

In mid-September, as the autumn harvest was approaching, the villagers were busy working in the fields.

But the animals that people are most worried about also start to arrive after hearing the news. Wild boars in the deep mountains will run down the mountains to destroy the food.

Some villagers have already discovered traces of wild boars on the outskirts of Mangshan, and they are groping towards the crops. The villagers who discovered the traces hurried back to inform the village chief.

In the past, hunters went into the mountains and never came out again, and the villagers all knew that there were wild boars there.

An adult wild boar can weigh up to three or four hundred kilograms and is extremely strong. Once it comes down the mountain, it can cause fatal damage to crops and even villagers.

Once a conflict occurs with wild boars, humans are almost powerless to resist.

On the edge of the field, several people watched helplessly as the wild boar swaggered into the crops, trampling and biting them wantonly.

There were four or five of them, big and small. Among them were two adult wild boars, followed by three little wild boars, running around in the field without restraint.

Qin Zhan looked at the scene before him and stamped his feet in anger: "It's over, it's over, my food is gone."

The food at home was stolen not long ago, and we've only been able to survive for this long thanks to the demon taro Aunt Qin San discovered. Now we're just waiting for the autumn harvest...

"What the hell are you?" Qin Zhan felt hopeless and picked up the sickle on the ground, ready to charge forward: "I'm going to fight you beasts to the death."

Fortunately, he was stopped by a quick-witted villager nearby: "Calm down, aren't you going up there to die? If you die, what will happen to your family? Don't be impulsive..."

Adult wild boars are extremely powerful and can go berserk at any time. What's more, there is more than one here. This is not a herd of pigs, but a bunch of crazy pigs that can go crazy at any time.

The village chief also rushed over at this time. When he heard that the wild boar had come down the mountain, he put down his work and ran over here.

Seeing that the villagers were all standing on the edge of the field, he breathed a sigh of relief and quickly shouted to a few people: "Don't go over there, human lives are important. If there is no food, we as a village will find a way to deal with it."

Qin Zhan refused to accept the news. His eyes were red and his voice was filled with tears. "This is the food that saves my life... If it's all wasted, I won't live anymore."

After saying that, he dropped the sickle in his hand, sat down on the ground and started crying.

The village chief looked at the large area of ​​grain destroyed by wild boars in the field, his old face frowning, and he was also very distressed: "Let's think of a way to drive away the wild boars and save some food. If we rush in recklessly, we will be hit by them and half our lives will be gone."

Yun Zhenzhen also rushed over after hearing the news. Just then, she heard the village chief's words and looked at the wild boars in the field. She had a different thought in her mind: "Although the food is gone, isn't the meat here?"

Yun Zhenzhen calmly asked the village chief, "Village chief, do you know of any way to drive away wild boars?"

Yun Zhenzhen had also heard in modern times that wild boars could be driven away by setting off firecrackers and lighting fireworks, but this was ancient times and these things did not exist at all.

"Drive away wild boars?" The village chief was stunned when he heard Yun Zhenzhen's question, and then he gave an answer: "You can light a fire. Wild boars are afraid of fire and won't dare to come near."

"But there are certain risks. In the past, there have been cases where wild boars were not afraid, but instead angered the wild boar and charged headfirst."

Yun Zhenzhen nodded thoughtfully.

"How about setting a trap?" Yun Zhenzhen thought for a moment and quickly said to the village chief, "We can dig a big hole and stick a lot of sharpened wooden sticks in it. If the wild boar falls into it, it will be unable to move."

This is based on the method used in the Vietnam War in the previous life. If you want to be more secure, you can also smear some animal feces on the spikes.

The village chief nodded and said, "The most urgent thing is to drive these wild boars away, otherwise they will eat up all the food."

"Indeed." If Yun Zhenzhen really wanted to take advantage of this group of wild boars, he had to know the route they took down the mountain.

"Then what are you waiting for? Village chief, quickly gather people to chase the wild boar." Qin Zhan came to his side at some point and spoke anxiously.

The village chief also wanted to drive the wild boars away quickly, but he shook his head and said, "No, the wild boars have just started eating and are still hungry. They will definitely fight to protect their food. We have to wait until they are full..."

After hearing this, Qin Zhan gritted his teeth and closed his eyes resignedly.

The others also looked distressed and could only watch the wild boars tossing around wildly in the field. By the time they had eaten and drunk their fill, the sun had already set.

The village chief led the team, and a group of men behind him held up wooden sticks with flammable hay tied to them, and they quietly approached the location of the wild boar.

First they lit the wooden sticks, and then lit the hay piled next to it. In a moment, flames shot up into the sky, and several people rushed towards the wild boar with torches.

He rushed forward and shouted loudly.

The wild boars fled in all directions immediately at the sudden sounds and flames around them.

It ran straight up the mountain. Yun Zhenzhen stood aside and only then witnessed the speed of the wild boar. It ran away, leaving only a circle of dust behind it.

Seeing that the pigs had run away, he brought a group of people to clean up the scene. In just one afternoon, the wild boars destroyed a large amount of food.

This is even more of a blow to the crops that are already growing poorly.

The village chief looked at the grain field that had been trampled by wild boars, with the branches bent all over the place, and kept cursing the wild boars.

The worst thing right now is that the wild boar has tasted the sweetness and will definitely come down the mountain again to eat.

After dark, the few people who had run away with the wild boar finally came back.

Qin Li was among them. He walked up to Yun Zhenzhen and said, "Mom, I saw the route the wild boars took up the mountain. Judging from the traces, they ran down from there as well."

"It comes from the road west of Mangshan Mountain."

"Ali, did you see it clearly?" Yun Zhenzhen was cheered up. It would be easy if she knew the route. She could set a trap there.

Qin Li nodded uncontrollably: "It's right there. The traces left by the wild boar are still there."

Everyone knows that there are wild boars in the mountains, so they never dare to go deep into the mountains. If they can be eliminated, everyone can go into the mountains to find some food, and people will not starve to death.

The wild boar just had its fill at the foot of the mountain today and might come back tomorrow. We don’t have much time left.

That night, all the laborers in the village stayed up all night. Some were digging holes, some were cutting tree tops, and some were even carrying manure.

The pit had to be dug big and deep to ensure that the wild boars could not jump out. The village veterinarian also brought a large bag of knockout drugs, which could easily knock out a few wild boars.

The group of people worked until dawn and finally managed to dig the entire pit. By the time everything was set up, everyone was exhausted and collapsed on the ground.

The pit was buried under the hillside where the wild boars were going down the mountain, ensuring that the wild boars would not be able to stop and would all fall into it.

There was no visible change on the surface, but underneath was a ring made of several wooden sticks, which would cause the wild boar to fall into it if stepped on. There were dozens of wooden sticks with spikes in the pit.

The wild boar's skin is thick and ordinary people cannot pierce it, but under the action of gravity, it falls into this trap, which ensures that it will not be able to return.
