Chapter 2 Green Energy Beads
Looking at the injured wild boar in front of them, Wang Qiang and Chen Mo couldn't help but become nervous.
Winter is approaching now. If we don't store enough food for the winter, people will really starve to death.
Wang Qiang has a wife at home and children to raise.
This wild boar alone weighs more than 100 kilograms of meat, enough to feed his family of three for two weeks, so he is ready to give it a try.
Normally, if you encounter such a large beast, you usually need two or three hunters to work together, but now that the wild boar has fallen into a trap, you can try it if you are injured.
"Uncle Wang, it's a wild boar, do we want to get in?"
Chen Mo clenched the hunting knife in his hand, and his body was quietly tense, ready to go.
"Don't be nervous. It's an injured wild boar. It's your first time hunting in the mountains. Please leave first and I'll get in on my own."
Although Wang Qiang said this, his expression was both excited and nervous.
Quietly walking around behind the wild boar, Wang Qiang was ready to find the right moment to kill it with one strike.
If you look carefully, you can see that the wild boar's hind legs have been twisted, with white bones exposed at the ankles and wrists, and the blood in the injured area has almost dried up.
With tears in his eyes, he lay on his side on the ground. The animal trap on his feet that he couldn't break free of was causing him great pain.
"Hoo...ho."
The low roar seemed to be a constant cry for help in a desperate situation.
However, as an old hunter, Wang Qiang would never show mercy to wild beasts, let alone Chen Mo.
Looking at the wild boar lying on the ground as if giving up its struggle, Wang Qiang, who was hiding in the grass behind, seemed to have found an opportunity and tightened his grip on the hunting knife in his hand.
With lightning speed, he rushed forward so quickly that the wild boar couldn't react at all.
Wang Qiang stabbed the wild boar's back with a knife. The sound of the knife piercing the flesh was heard, and the blood continued to flow.
"Roar!"
An angry wailing roar.
Wang Qiang suddenly pulled out the hunting knife and was about to continue his attack. The wild boar endured the pain on his feet and back and quickly got up and rushed forward, throwing Wang Qiang away in an instant.
He turned around and looked at Wang Qiang with a stern look.
The blood was constantly flowing, and the injuries on the feet completely aroused the wild boar's animal nature.
It was as if he knew that he was certain to die, and he wanted to take the man in front of him away before he died.
Looking at this scene, Wang Qiang cursed secretly,
"Not good! There was no one-hit kill to make this wild boar run away."
The wild boar ignored him and charged towards Wang Qiang with two tusks.
Fortunately, Wang Qiang is still an experienced hunter. Faced with such a dangerous situation, at the critical moment, a hunting knife more than half a meter long was blocked in front of him.
The two sharp fangs of the wild boar collided with Wang Qiang's blade, and the violent impact caused his entire body to fly backwards.
"boom!"
He hit a big tree hard, and his whole body was half-kneeling on the ground. The long knife in his hand had been knocked away into the distance. Although he was not seriously injured at this time.
But having lost his only weapon, facing the beast that was so close in front of him, baring its teeth and claws to make a temporary counterattack, it was a disaster.
The wild boar was already charging straight at me again.
Looking extremely panicked, the unarmed Wang Qiang was helpless no matter how experienced he was.
So close, with no time to escape, Wang Qiang thought to himself, would his life end like this?
What should I do with my mother-in-law and children?
There was so much regret on his face, why did he take the risk, why didn't he be more decisive just now.
At the critical moment, the wild boar suddenly stopped. Chen Mo appeared from behind, holding his dagger-like hunting knife and stabbing it hard into the injured spot on the wild boar's back.
"Roar……."
Continuously roaring, the wild boar struggled desperately and charged randomly, trying to get rid of Chen Mo.
But Chen Mo kept exerting force with both hands, grabbing the dagger tightly, with extremely determined eyes, and inserted the dagger deeper and deeper.
"what!"
With a roar, Chen Mo tried his best and inserted the dagger completely into the wild boar's body.
"Bang." The wild boar's body fell heavily to the ground, no longer alive.
"Huh...huh."
Panting, Chen Mo collapsed on the ground. The blow just now had exhausted all his strength.
The physical ability and strength of my body are too weak. If it were the body of my previous life, I would have killed him with one strike. It would be impossible for the wild boar to struggle for so long.
When he came back to his senses, he saw the dead wild boar and Chen Mo sitting on the ground panting.
Wang Qiang thought that he was bound to die, but he didn't expect to be saved by Chen Mo.
"Chen Mo, thank you so much. I didn't expect you to save Uncle Wang and save my life the first time I brought you out. You are much better than me.
It was the first time I went out hunting. Even if I didn't take action, I would stay far away from the prey. "
Wang Qiang walked over and helped Chen Mo up, with a grateful expression on his face.
"It's okay, Uncle Wang, I'm lucky too." Chen Mo pretended to be silly and smiled.
"According to the rules, you killed this prey and it belongs to you."
Although this wild boar can help his family survive the winter, as a simple and honest man in the mountains, it is impossible for him to do such a thing.
"Uncle Wang, let's share this prey equally! After all, you did your best and I just missed it. If you don't agree, you're looking down on me."
Chen Mo thought that he would go hunting with Wang Qiang often in the future, and it would definitely be a good choice to gain favor with half a wild boar.
"Well, okay then!"
Wang Qiang originally wanted to refuse, but when he thought that he still had a family to support, he had no choice but to agree.
Chen Mo, this little guy, is courageous and loyal at a young age. My daughter happens to be unmarried, so I don’t know if I can match them up.
In the afternoon, the sun sets.
The two dragged the wild boar carcass back to the village.
At the entrance of the village, a middle-aged man in brocade clothes stood out in front of a group of plainly dressed villagers.
This man's name is Zhao Laosi, and he is a trader who sells animal skins in various villages.
"It's a good wild boar. It's a pity that the skin is damaged, but it can still be sold for some money."
Zhao Laosi came over and stroked the fur and said.
"Okay, Fourth Brother, just tell me how much it will cost?" It was obviously not the first time that Wang Qiang sold something to Zhao Old Fourth.
"Looking at Wang Qiang's face, I offered you a fixed price of 15 big bucks."
When Zhao Laosi said this amount, no one thought there was anything wrong. It was indeed the market price.
After some transactions, Chen Mo originally wanted to divide the 15 big dollars equally.
However, Wang Qiang insisted on giving the money to Chen Mo. There was really no other way, so Chen Mo didn't bother to be polite anymore and just accepted it.
Wang Qiang took a machete, cut the wild boar in two, and left with the one with the pig's head.
After all, the part with the pig head will have less meat.
This honest man still felt that he had taken advantage of him and felt a little sorry for Chen Mo.
When he returned home, Chen Mo looked at the large portion of pork on the stone floor. He couldn't wait to get angry because he was so upset.
Half an hour later, I took the coarse salt I just bought from Zhao Laosi and placed it on the roasted pork leg.
The aroma spread everywhere, and Chen Mo immediately started gobbling it up. He couldn't help but was too hungry.
In less than a few minutes, he devoured a three- to four-pound pig leg by himself.
A small stream of heat was generated within the body and spread out.
This heat flow can not only repair his injuries and restore his physical strength, but also slowly increase his strength.
Just as he had guessed before, as long as he ate something he could generate heat in his body.
"Strange, what is this?"
Chen Mo observed carefully and found that a small bead seemed to be produced in his dantian, and there was a trace of green energy at the bottom.
What is the use of this little bead? Is it also the golden finger that I traveled through time? The green energy seemed to be the heat generated in my body.
