Returning to the small mountain village of '86, intelligence updated daily.

The wild boar, which appeared to be on the verge of death, bared its tusks in an attempt to scare away someone who was approaching.

But Zhou Rui wasn't easily intimidated; he continued to approach, until they were less than ten meters apart, very close indeed.

The wild boar suddenly went berserk, making its final, desperate struggle.

Suddenly, the wild boar kicked up its hind legs, and its powerful hind legs unleashed tremendous force.

In the blink of an eye, he had already pounced on Zhou Rui!

Zhou Rui was terrified. Wild boars are not domestic pigs! Some wild boars are definitely carnivorous animals!

Fortunately, this wild boar appeared to be just an adult and had not yet reached its peak size. Even so, Zhou Rui still dared not underestimate it.

Its fangs were exposed, and blood, whether its own or that of another animal, was seeping from its mouth.

The fierce appearance and the extremely close distance made Zhou Rui's heart pound, but his experience from living for decades in his previous life allowed him to react quickly.

Zhou Rui exerted all his strength, twisting his feet and using all his power to turn sideways, block, and dodge.

After turning to the side, he crossed his arms in front of his chest, holding a wood-chopping knife in his right hand and placing it flat on his left arm to block.

Even so, despite Zhou Rui's quick reflexes, he couldn't completely dodge the attack, but fortunately, he avoided a head-on collision with the wild boar.

Almost instantly, a powerful force struck.

Already hungry and weak, Zhou Rui was thrown several meters away, even falling and rolling two meters due to his weak legs.

This also created distance between him and the outside world.

The saying "You need to be well-fed to have the energy to work" is absolutely true!

If I hadn't reacted quickly, even a little bit later, I probably wouldn't be able to get up now.

Feeling weak, Zhou Rui gritted his teeth and quickly stood up straight.

This time he put the slingshot aside. He had been thinking that if the system was lying and he didn't find the wild boar, he could still hunt other animals with the slingshot.

Zhou Rui no longer held the knife with one hand, but instead gripped the hilt with his other hand.

With his hands gripping the machete tightly, Zhou Rui dragged his exhausted body around the wild boar.

As soon as the wild boar turned its head in alarm, he would quickly move behind it.

The man and the pig stood facing each other like that.

After the attack, the wild boar seemed to be exhausted. It was panting and making warning noises, but it was very weak and its howls were only heard once every few minutes.

After a while, the limping wild boar also lost strength in its other front hoof.

It lay on the ground with its front hooves, constantly trying to get up but falling down again and again.

At this moment, Zhou Rui, who was already behind the wild boar, realized that this was a golden opportunity!

Strike while the iron is hot and kill it!

Therefore, Zhou Rui no longer hesitated and decisively chose to take the initiative.

He took two steps at a time, using every bit of his strength to quickly reach the back of the wild boar.

With all his might, he raised the knife above his head with both hands and swung it down fiercely!

The knife pierced through, and Zhou Rui, not daring to wait for the outcome, dropped the knife he was using to cut the wild boar and ran to the side.

As expected, the wild boar writhed wildly after being fatally attacked, letting out a series of piercing screams.

Zhou Rui dared to abandon the wood-chopping knife because he simply didn't have the strength to pull it out.

Secondly, he was certain that this strike would add new wounds to the old ones, and the wild boar would soon die.

Just as he had expected, the wild boar, which was writhing wildly, only struggled for a short while before collapsing to the ground.

Zhou Rui dared not be careless and tiptoed closer, keeping his eyes fixed on the wild boar to prevent a counterattack.

Fortunately, the wild boar did not move again this time; it was completely dead.

Zhou Rui pulled back his machete, slumped to the ground, and gasped for breath.

The excessive exertion made his vision blurry, and his head began to ache. The numbness from the shock in his hands remained, and his right arm was also scraped.

However, he dared not rest for too long, although he did not know whether the wild boar was injured in a fight with a competitor or for some other reason.

He must deal with it quickly.

However, what happened next left him dumbfounded.

Although this wild boar was not yet an adult and was not very large, it still looked to weigh nearly 100 pounds.

How do we get it back?

Weighing nearly 100 pounds, it would be difficult for even a well-fed adult to move, let alone him in his current state.

Seeing the spoils of war right before his eyes, yet unable to transport them back, Zhou Rui found it hard to accept.

However, having lived for decades in his previous life, he quickly calmed down and came up with a solution: he could use a tricycle to pick it up.

However, his family doesn't own a tricycle; such vehicles are still relatively rare in the village.

However, the quick-witted Zhou Rui immediately realized that Aunt Li's house had some!

If we borrow it, we can take this nearly 100-pound wild boar back with us.

Having found a solution, Zhou Rui didn't wait any longer. Fortunately, he had eaten some of the food Aunt Li had given him, and he had regained some strength.

He wouldn't be foolish enough to expose this wild boar to the sun like that.

He searched around and found a large pile of dry firewood and wild grass. Then, he used all his strength to chop off a pig's hind leg with a machete.

Zhou Rui was very cautious. He wanted to take some spoils back with him on his way home. That way, even if the wild boar was eventually killed by other wild animals, he wouldn't end up with nothing.

He quickly spread the dry firewood and wild grass he had found on the wild boar carcass, and then used some mud to cover it up.

Zhou Rui finally felt relieved and carried the severed pig hind leg home, but he was still very careful and wrapped it with some plant leaves to cover it up.

Finally, a major problem has been solved!

Zhou Rui was very happy. With this wild boar, he would have enough to meet his emergency needs for the foreseeable future!

However, right now, we need to get the spoils home as soon as possible.

Ordinary people are always full of energy when it's time to reap the rewards.

Zhou Rui didn't feel too tired at the moment, and quickened his pace slightly as he headed home.

It's afternoon now, and there aren't many people in the village; most have already gone to work in the fields.

This also avoided some unnecessary trouble, and Zhou Rui quickly returned home.

At this time, no one had returned to the house yet.

Zhou Rui removed the pig's hind leg and hid it.

After resting for a while, he went out again. On his way back, he saw that Aunt Li's door was not closed, so there must be someone at home, but not outside.

Soon, Zhou Rui arrived at Aunt Li's house, which was one of the wealthier families in the village.

"Aunt Li—"

"Zhou Wazi, what's wrong? Have you gathered enough firewood? We might need a cart to haul it all away—"

Aunt Li was sewing shoe soles when she heard Zhou Rui's voice respond.

"Hehe, I just came to borrow a tricycle," Zhou Rui admitted frankly. Aunt Li was taken aback at first, but didn't think much of it and said frankly:

"It's right there, you can ride it yourself."

Aunt Li is a very kind person. If Zhou Rui were to borrow from someone else, there's a high chance they wouldn't lend it to him, for fear of damaging it.

Zhou Rui thanked her and, not daring to delay, quickly rode Li's tricycle towards the big locust tree.

A pedicab is still faster than walking on two legs.

In a short while, Zhou Rui arrived at the location.

He could already see his "masterpiece" from afar, but he still needed to see it with his own eyes to feel at ease.

Clearing away the weeds and plant leaves, and removing the firewood, a wild boar of not-so-large size was revealed once again.

Food is secured!
