Qin Ziwu gripped the wooden stick in his hand, eager to try. "Brother, I really want to poke its butt hard with my stick."
Looking in the direction the wild boar had left, Qin Ziwu said, "This wild boar doesn't look that big."
Deng Guang advised against provoking the wild boar: "This kind weighs at least two hundred pounds. Don't be fooled by its sturdy appearance; it's all meat. There's a saying: 'First the boar, second the bear, third the tiger.' It doesn't mean the wild boar is the most powerful, but it's stubborn and very aggressive when injured. Its first reaction is to charge straight at you."
Qin Ziwu suppressed his urge to attack; he knew his current weapons and equipment weren't suitable for hunting wild boars.
Qin Ziwen calmly analyzed, "Since it appeared here, it means this area is its territory. If it can appear once, it can appear again. Let's find a way to set a trap. As long as we can restrict it with a trap, it will be easier."
Qin Ziwu whispered, "I think the three of us can take it down. It weighs 200 jin, and I'm not bad either, I weigh 170 jin. You and Uncle Deng together weigh at least 300 jin, we're more than twice its weight."
Qin Ziwen gave him a disapproving look, "Can you guarantee you won't get hurt? What if you get injured?
The probability of bacterial infection from a bite is at least 60-70%, if not 100%. We don't have iodine or alcohol to disinfect it, and there are only three of us. Even if we injure it, we might not be able to catch it. Let's be safe."
Qin Ziwu was silent. Although he didn't think he would necessarily get injured, he felt that it was okay for his older brother to be cautious. "Okay, I'm just worried that someone else will find it first."
Qin Ziwen shook his head and chuckled, "If it's gone, it's gone. Other things might be less common in this forest, but animals won't be less common. "
until he picked one, peeled it, saw the familiar color, smelled it, fed it to a field mouse and hedgehog to test for poison, and then tasted it himself, that he confirmed it was a kiwi.
Unlike those sold in supermarkets, these wild kiwis were very small, with only a small bunch hanging on each branch.
Most were brownish-yellow, but a few were greenish and firm, seemingly unripe.
Qin Ziwen began picking, "I've heard kiwis are rich in vitamins; these can supplement the elements we need." " The
wild
kiwifruit closer to the ground was easier to pick, but the higher ones were more difficult.
Qin Ziwen asked the harpy eagle for help, and after a busy half-day, the three of them finally picked most of the wild kiwifruit in the area,
leaving only some unripe fruit.
Of course, the main reason was that their backpacks were full; all three backpacks were stuffed with wild kiwifruit, weighing at least seventy or eighty pounds in total.
The hedgehog and field mouse in the backpacks were put into a bucket.
Qin Ziwen remembered that kiwifruit had a relatively long shelf life, and with a cellar at home, it should keep for a month without any problem.
Any leftovers could be traded for more durable foods, such as biscuits or instant noodles.
It was afternoon, and the three of them, exhausted from half a day's work, sat down to rest on a rock."
three of them a few times, it turned its head to look behind it. It took a few steps back, and seeing that the three of them didn't move, it turned its head again and barked at them.
Qin Ziwu frowned: "It seems to be calling us over."
Qin Ziwen glanced at the golden retriever. "Ignore it, let's keep going."
The three of them walked for more than ten meters, and the golden retriever chased after them, but it didn't get close. Instead, it kept a safe distance of two or three meters.
It lay down directly on the ground, whimpering with a trembling sound, "Woof woof woof~"
The golden retriever lay on the ground, its rump raised, and its tail wagging violently.
It seemed to know who the leader of this group was. It looked at Qin Ziwen, carefully crawled over, and gently tugged at Qin Ziwen's trouser leg with its paw.
After the golden retriever got closer, Qin Ziwen noticed that it still had injuries on its body and bloodstains behind its ears.
"Woof woof woof~"
Qin Ziwen squinted his eyes, "Are you asking for help?"
The golden retriever seemed to understand. It stood up, stuck out its tongue, and looked at Qin Ziwen with pleading eyes.
Qin Ziwu looked at his elder brother: "Brother, should we go?"
Qin Ziwen was silent for a while, then said, "How many people are there with your master? If one person, bark once; if two people, bark twice."
"Woof!" the golden retriever barked.
After a moment of silence, Qin Ziwen said, "Let's go take a look."
Seeing Qin Ziwen walk over, the golden retriever excitedly turned and ran.
Qin Ziwen and the others moved slowly, remaining vigilant the entire time, letting the golden retriever run in front.
