Chapter 1050

Seeing the movement on the hillside, Li Long grabbed his gun and stepped forward to block Hao Hao behind him, while simultaneously pulling Ming Ming over from the water's edge.

If there were small wild boars coming down first, then there must be big wild boars following behind them. Li Long didn't want his two children to be frightened or rammed by the big wild boars.

In the bushes on the opposite bank, several half-grown wild boars poked their heads out, vigilantly looking at Li Long, Ming Ming, and Hao Hao.

Following a grunt, two even larger female wild boars rushed out of the bushes. Seeing the small wild boars that had fallen into the water, they were quite anxious, opening their large mouths to bare their yellow teeth and calling out, wanting the small wild boars to come up quickly.

These two female wild boars looked to weigh at least two hundred kilograms. When they tentatively walked toward the water's edge, they knocked the bushes askew—this thing could not be fought by force!

Subsequently, they saw Li Long and the two children.

These few wild boars were also startled when they saw Li Long. The half-grown wild boars turned and ran, but the two female wild boars were still hesitant; after all, their children were now trapped in the water—to save or not to save?

"Ming Ming, Hao Hao, you two stand back, Daddy is going to shoot!"

Li Long shouted, raised his gun, opened the safety, pulled the bolt to chamber a bullet, and fired toward the wild boars. At this time, he didn't demand to hit or not hit; he would scare these things away first!

When Li Long pulled the trigger, the two female boars had already made their decision, turned, and ran, instantly rushing into the bushes.

The sound of the gunshot echoed by the water, and only the bushes could be seen shaking from time to time. There were the screams of wild boars and the grunts of female wild boars. What surprised Li Long was that several more small wild boars, not knowing if they were frightened or squeezed, rolled out of the bushes and fell into the water.

The slope on the opposite hillside was slightly steeper, and there were several obvious wild paths in the gaps of the bushes, which should be the paths for wild boars to come down to drink water. These wild boars should often walk this path, and usually, going down the slope might be more stable, but no one expected to encounter a hunter today.

Li Long was also surprised. When he was holding the gun earlier, he had two children by his side, so naturally, he couldn't open the safety, and even the bullets weren't chambered. Although his reaction was fast afterward and the shooting was decisive, after all, the children were by his side, and he was afraid of accidents, so the shot was a bit rushed.

Looking at the situation of the wild boars fleeing in the bushes, he didn't know if any had been killed, but these ten or so small wild boars in the river could be considered unexpected gains.

There was no more movement in the bushes on the opposite hillside. The small wild boars in the river could actually swim and had already begun to recover from the panic, each looking for a way to survive.

"You two wait here and don't move, I'm going to catch the small wild boars for you!"

Li Long turned off the safety of the gun, hung it on his shoulder, turned his head, and said to Ming Ming and Hao Hao: "Move back a bit more, don't go to the water's edge."

These small wild boars were only two or three kilograms each, not large, but very flexible in the water.

Most of them swam to the water's edge on the opposite bank, but that side was a bit steep, and there were some tree roots of bushes blocking it, making it difficult to climb up.

Two or three swam toward this side, but they weren't very bold and didn't dare to approach the people, swimming diagonally to both sides.

Li Long was afraid that big wild boars would appear again, so he didn't dare to run far. He strode into the water, pressed a small wild boar that was trying to land on the shore four or five meters to his left into the shallow water, carried the squeaking wild boar, took a rope out of his pocket, tied it up directly, and handed it to Ming Ming.

"Dad, I want one too!" Seeing that his brother had a small wild boar, Hao Hao naturally fought for it actively.

"Okay, okay, okay, everyone has one, everyone has one."

Li Long glanced at the bushes on the opposite side and still didn't find any big wild boars appearing. He strode toward the right side. There were two small wild boars there, one had already swum to the shallow beach, and the other was half a meter behind, swimming forward.

The wild boars in the water couldn't possibly be faster than Li Long on the shore. When Li Long went over, the small wild boar that had already landed on the shore was squeaking and trying to escape to the river beach. It was kicked by Li Long and kicked back into the water, and then he stepped forward and pressed the two small wild boars down, one in each hand.

Hao Hao ran over to help but didn't know what to do; in short, he was very excited.

He still tied them with a rope and then dragged them to Ming Ming and Hao Hao. When Ming Ming saw there were two, he also came to grab them. Li Long gave him one and gave the other to Hao Hao.

When Hao Hao saw that his brother had two, after taking the one his father gave him, he pouted and was still a bit unhappy. Li Long said: "Don't worry, there are still some in the river, I'll catch more for you."

Two small wild boars had already climbed up along the path where they originally came down to drink water and drilled into the bushes.

But when they climbed up, they made the path wet, and the path became slippery. The small wild boars behind started to slip when climbing up, and they couldn't get up in a hurry. Several small wild boars squeezed together, giving Li Long a chance.

He still first glanced at the bushes and didn't find any danger, and then waded through the water, wanting to see if he could walk over.

Fortunately, the water wasn't deep. When he walked close to the opposite bank, the river water only reached his thighs. The few small wild boars that hadn't climbed up started to swim away in a panic, and Li Long started catching them in the water.

In the distance, Meng Hai was directing everyone to repair the road. After hearing the gunshot, he was stunned for a moment and hurriedly said to a young man beside him:

"Liu Zhigang, you hurry over and see what the situation is over there!"

"Should be Comrade Li Long hunting, right?" Liu Zhigang replied while holding a shovel, "I just saw Comrade Li Long carrying a gun and taking the children over."

"You also know he took the children? Two children are still there, what if wild animals come out and hurt the children? Hurry up, right, Hu Xinjun, you follow too!"

The two young men didn't dare to neglect Meng Hai's instructions and hurriedly ran forward along the sound of the gunshot with shovels. At this time, Li Long's rope had been used up. He was still carrying a small wild boar in one hand and holding one in his arm, walking from the water to the shore.

Ming Ming and Hao Hao were each holding two ropes in their hands, with a small wild boar tied to each rope.

The small wild boars were extremely restless. Even if they were dragged by the rope, they were still struggling to escape. Although these small wild boars weren't large, they made the two children busy and confused. Hao Hao was even dragged into a somersault by a small wild boar, and his body was covered in mud and sand.

Ming Ming was slightly stronger. Seeing his younger brother somersault, he just laughed there.

The two small wild boars in his hand were tied a bit tighter. Although they kept calling, the strength of their struggle wasn't very great.

After Li Long brought the small wild boars to the shore, he subconsciously turned his head and glanced at the bushes, didn't see any movement, but smelled a faint smell of blood.

When Hu Xinjun and Liu Zhigang ran to Li Long, they found that the father and his two sons were playing on the beach with seven small wild boars.

Li Long didn't have any extra rope. He cut the ropes that Ming Ming and Hao Hao used to tie the wild boars, tied up the three small wild boars he was pressing down, and dragged them in his hand like walking a dog.

In the middle, a rope in Hao Hao's hand loosened, and a small wild boar rushed out, rushed into the water, and was dragged back by Li Long again.

He said to himself, if this small wild boar rushed to the shore, he might not be able to catch up.

"Comrade Li Long, this is a big harvest, right?" Hu Xinjun opened his mouth with a smile.

"You guys came, just in time to help. I'm watching the children and don't dare to go far. You two go to the opposite bushes and see. I just fired a shot, and I don't know if I hit anything. If I hit something, just drag it over, and we'll have an extra meal at noon."

Li Long had to look after Ming Ming and Hao Hao playing here, so he handed the task of searching the opposite bank to Liu Zhigang and Hu Xinjun.

When the two heard that it was possible they had hit a wild boar, they immediately happily took the shovels and waded to the opposite bank.

Li Long actually didn't hold much hope, but since he shot, let's take a look.

The two quickly found bloodstains in the bushes, and then searched forward again. Hu Xinjun shouted:

"Comrade Li Long, hit it! There is a half-grown wild boar!"

"Good, then drag it back!" This was truly an unexpected joy. Li Long responded with a smile, "Cook a good meal at noon!"

Soon Hu Xinjun and Liu Zhigang dragged the wild boar back into the water and waded back to Li Long's side.

This wild boar wasn't big, about thirty or forty kilograms, a wild boar cub from last year, the meat should be quite good.

"Comrade Li Long, you are really amazing!" Liu Zhigang exclaimed, "Every time you go hunting, you have a harvest. These wild boar cubs can just be raised, right?"

"Take them back and raise them. Anyway, they aren't big, keep them for the children to play with." Li Long watched Ming Ming and Hao Hao fighting with those small wild boars, full of interest, and felt that it wouldn't be bad to keep them in the large courtyard to raise.

Ming Ming and Hao Hao were already a bit tired of playing with the little lambs and Xiao Hei in the large courtyard. This time, it just happened to add new companions.

It was just such a two or three-kilogram small wild boar. Ming Ming and Hao Hao were stronger than children of the same age and could subdue them.

Otherwise, if the small wild boars were a bit bigger, let alone dragging two at the same time, it was estimated that they couldn't even drag one.
