Chapter 39 Rescuing People, Shooting 4 Pigs
The word "have" made Tang Lao Er and Tang Lao San overjoyed, and they quickly asked:
"Brother, what's the solution?"
The wild boar continued to ram against the tree, causing the pine tree to sway back and forth. The three of them clung tightly to the trunk, swaying with the tree.
Tang Laoda released one hand and pointed to another tree not far away:
"Look, that tree isn't far from us. When it falls down, it will temporarily drive the wild boars away, and then we can climb that tree."
"Oh, brother, you're climbing a tree again?"
"Besides climbing a tree, what other options do you have? Are you going to fight the wild boar head-on?"
To be honest, Tang's method is indeed the best solution at present.
After all, wild boars don't have endless stamina; if they can't break through the defenses for a long time, they will naturally retreat.
But was it really that smooth?
Can a human's reaction time really be faster than a wild boar's?
The pine tree leaned more and more as the wild boar rammed into it, until it finally gave way and fell to one side.
Just as Tang had predicted, the wild boar took a few steps back the moment the pine tree fell.
But they themselves failed to run to the other tree as they had hoped.
Because when a tree falls, the center of gravity is random. Even if they prepared in advance, they are still just ordinary people and don't have a good sense of balance, so they all fell to the ground.
The moment they got up, the wild boar charged at them, howling loudly.
The three of them scrambled and stumbled, but no one can outrun a wild boar.
Tang Lao Da was the first to be knocked down, followed by Tang Lao San, and then Tang Lao Er.
None of the three brothers escaped, and their heart-wrenching screams echoed through the forest.
In fact, there were only five wild boars. Apart from the worst-case scenario where Tang Lao Er was surrounded and beaten by three, Tang Lao Da and Tang Lao San each faced only one.
If they had remained calm, they might have had a chance to climb the tree even while enduring the wild boar's attack, since they weren't more than a few meters away.
But at this moment, fear far outweighs reason, and they are no longer able to calm down.
Especially Tang Lao Er, while the other two could struggle against a wild boar, they could only root at it.
He was no match for the three of them; the wild boars were already biting him.
He screamed in agony, but his mind inexplicably drifted to other things—his wife and children.
I wonder what would have happened if I had listened to Lin Chuan's advice yesterday and hadn't gone up the mountain.
Just as he was desperately recalling the past, the wild boar that had bitten him suddenly swayed to the side.
An arrow was stuck in the pig's head, and the arrow's tail trembled violently, making a buzzing sound.
Before he could react, the second arrow arrived, and another wild boar fell to the ground.
Two wild boars fell to the ground in succession, and finally the boar that had bitten him came to its senses.
It stopped biting, looked up and made two "hmm~ hmm~" sounds in the air, locking onto a direction in less than a second.
Seeing that something was wrong, the other two wild boars also ran away with their companion.
The three Tang brothers were all filled with surprise and doubt, their eyes following the direction the wild boar had run.
Then, they saw Lin Chuan.
Lin Chuan drew a strangely shaped bow, raised his hand, and shot an arrow, killing one wild boar and leaving only two.
One of them howled and darted into the bushes, but the other resolutely launched a final charge towards Lin Chuan.
Be careful.
Tang Laoda shouted out subconsciously.
At this critical moment, Lin Chuan actually looked over and smiled at Boss Tang.
But his hands didn't stop moving at all; he drew an arrow, nocked the bow, drew the string fully, and fired.
Without making a single unnecessary movement, and seemingly without aiming accurately, the wild boar collapsed to the ground when it was five meters away from him.
In less than a minute, all four wild boars except for the one that ran away were shot dead by Lin Chuan.
The three Tang brothers were filled with despair one minute, thinking they were going to die, but the next minute, several wild boars were all dead in front of them.
They felt a sense of relief and collapsed to the ground.
The eldest and third sons of the Tang family were alright; they struggled desperately and prevented the wild boar from getting a good bite.
After catching their breath, they stood up together, walked up to Lin Chuan, and thanked him repeatedly, their eyes revealing their embarrassment.
Especially Tang Laosan, who was beaten by Lin Chuan just two days ago. At that time, he yielded to Lin Chuan's "divine power" and endured it.
After getting the gun yesterday, he regained his confidence. He had originally planned to mock Lin Chuan after shooting the wild boar, but he never expected that the person who saved him would also be Lin Chuan.
They had heard that Lin Chuan was skilled with a bow and arrow, but they didn't take it seriously; everyone knew that a gun was superior to a bow.
But having just witnessed Lin Chuan's fluid and skillful archery, he felt that spears were utterly inadequate.
"Xiao Chuan, thank you so much for today. When you get back, come to my house and I'll have your aunt cook a few dishes. I'll also toast you a few times."
"Uncle, let's talk about going back when we get back. Why don't you go see Uncle Tang first and get some bitter herbs to stop the bleeding? It's not a short trip back."
Tang Lao Er looks terrible now, his body covered in blood from being bitten countless times by wild boars.
His face was deathly pale, and his groans had subsided considerably; his condition looked far from optimistic.
After Lin Chuan reminded them, Tang Lao Da and Lao San also noticed this situation.
They hurriedly went to find bitter herbs, purslane, and plantain, crushed them, and applied them to the wounds. Larger wounds even needed to be wrapped with clothing.
However, this method only works temporarily, since the main function of these things is to be ingested, and they can only stop bleeding from small wounds.
Fortunately, Wang Hu arrived at that moment.
Previously, Lin Chuan's clumsy method was to go to the top of the mountain and look up from the trees, but he couldn't find the Tang brothers even after looking from both sides, and he was about to give up.
Unexpectedly, Lin Chuan finally saw it on the third try, but they were quite far apart.
Seeing the urgency of the situation, Lin Chuan ran ahead alone, leaving Wang Hu to follow the trail.
Lin Chuan was too fast, and Wang Hu didn't know the exact location, so by the time he arrived, the dust had already settled.
The good news was that Wang Hu heard the commotion on the road and brought two villagers with him.
After briefly explaining the current situation, Lin Chuan said:
"Uncle Wang, someone needs to go back first. Call 'Give a shot' to wait in the bay. Then you two take turns carrying Uncle Tang back. Be quick, he's bleeding quite a bit."
"Xiao Liu, go back first, call Kai Yi to the bay, and explain the situation to him."
Once Wang Hu understood the situation, he began to make arrangements. At the same time, he carried Tang Lao Er on his back and left, with another person following behind him, ready to take over at any time.
Tang Laoda and Tang Laosan were also about to leave when Lin Chuan called them back.
"Wait a while before you leave. The people looking for you are still scattered in the mountains. You should at least let them know that you've been found."
"Well, Xiaochuan, this mountain is so big, how are we supposed to notify them? Why don't we go back first? We'll go back when we can't find them."
"It's still early before dark. Are you planning to let them search for half a day for nothing?"
If you're not afraid of being gossiped about behind your backs, then do whatever you want.
If I were you, I'd stay here and smoke for a while until they arrive before going back.
"But, wild boars..."
"Don't worry, I'll wait until you've smoked the pigs up the tree before I leave. I still need to take the pigs back."
Lin Chuan pointed to the four wild boars he had shot and killed.
