Chapter 351: Encounter with Wild Boars
Chapter 351 Wild Boars
Xiao Hua told Jiang Mengyu that the mysterious character she mentioned before is not just someone she met as a child, but lives right at the highest location in their village.
Everyone knows he is an alien, and the most peculiar thing is his residence, which nobody can enter without his permission, and whoever enters can’t come out.
Jiang Mengyu secretly pondered, could it be that a reclusive Array Master lives in Red Stone Village?
She hesitated a bit, she admitted that her initial purpose to follow Xiao Hua into the mountains was because of the alien she mentioned, but now hearing that the alien resides in Red Stone Village, she hesitated again: Is it really alright to just barge into someone else’s territory?
But, since they had already come this far, there was no turning back. Let’s just be guests then, as long as we don’t provoke the other party.
Jiang Mengyu and Xiao Hua walked for more than three hours, not breaking a sweat or showing signs of exhaustion, and soon after crossing the mountain, they would reach Xiao Hua’s hometown—Red Stone Village.
Jiang Mengyu asked Xiao Hua, "Do the people in your village usually travel so far to buy rice?"
Xiao Hua shook her head: "Usually, we go to Zhushan Town to buy, but it’s a lot more expensive, shush—"
Suddenly, Xiao Hua cautiously pulled on Jiang Mengyu.
Jiang Mengyu asked quietly, "What’s wrong?"
Lowering her voice, Xiao Hua, who was almost holding her breath, said, "Something seems off ahead. I heard grunting sounds, it’s probably wild boars coming down."
Jiang Mengyu’s Divine Sense quickly scanned ahead, and indeed, she spotted two adult and four juvenile wild boars at the bend ahead, coming down from the mountain, preparing to cross the winding road and move downwards.
Jiang Mengyu felt a bit thrilled: "Six wild boars, let’s take them down."
Usually at the county school, the cafeteria food barely had any meat, and only after the four of them started cooking in Shen Qi’s dorm did their meals improve.
However, getting meat every day was not possible, not to mention that the meat supplies from the food group were limited per month, and if she wanted more, she had to buy expensive meat from the market, which she couldn’t do every day.
These six wild boars, were like meat delivered to her doorstep!
Xiao Hua was shocked: "Take them down? Just the two of us?"
Normally, it wasn’t uncommon for people in the village to hunt wild boars, but they would organize twenty to thirty people before daring to confront them.
Even with twenty to thirty people, they didn’t dare act rashly when encountering a group of wild boars, usually targeting those that were alone or just a few at a time.
Facing today’s situation of six adult wild boars in one encounter was normally considered too dangerous to attempt.
But now, her master was actually saying to take down these six wild boars!
Jiang Mengyu nodded, "Yes, there are six wild boars, the small ones weigh around one hundred and fifty to one hundred and sixty pounds each, and the large ones probably weigh three to four hundred pounds each. Taking down these wild boars would provide us with food for a long time."
Xiao Hua gave a wry smile: My master, even if we can eat for a long time, can you really carry them all away?
This group of wild boars, together weigh probably about one thousand five hundred pounds, even if we are strong, we can’t carry so much, right?
But then, she immediately thought of the spell her master used earlier to vanish the rice, is her master planning to make these wild boars disappear too?
"But master, there are just the two of us, and we have no weapons, how do we hunt them?"
Jiang Mengyu smiled, "Who said I don’t have weapons?"
She flipped her hand, revealing a small bow and ten arrows, alongside a large knife which she handed to Xiao Hua, while taking the bow and arrow for herself and fitting five arrows on it.
"I will kill five of them, leaving one for you!" Saying so, she glanced once and shot the five arrows one after another.
Xiao Hua was very worried: Can this really work? What if an arrow doesn’t kill the boar and instead provokes its ferocity?
But clearly, her worries were needless, as each arrow shot by Jiang Mengyu deeply pierced a boar’s head, and nearly simultaneously, five boars emitted a scream and then fell down.
Only the smallest one, screamed and charged towards them.
