Chapter 226

Wang Li watched the buttocks of the group of dogs as they went further away, then turned his head to look at Wang An and asked with confusion:

"Fourth Brother, do you think these two dogs are cursing you?"

Upon hearing this, Wang An rolled his eyes at Wang Li and said irritably, "I can't understand what the dogs are saying, damn it, how would I know?"

After Wang Li finished speaking, he shifted his gaze back to the dogs, so he completely ignored Wang An's eye-roll, and while nodding to himself in affirmation, he muttered to himself:

"I feel like these two dogs are definitely cursing Fourth Brother!"

After hearing Wang Li's words, Wang An's mouth twitched a few times, then he glared at Wang Li with wide eyes, meaning for him to stop talking and shut up!

Unfortunately, Wang Li's gaze was fixed on the dogs, which infuriated Wang An; he stepped forward and delivered a big kick, landing a "Bang!" on Wang Li's butt.

After kicking Wang Li, Wang An's mood felt much better, then he gritted his teeth and said, "You feel like a fart, you feel like! Why are you so 'enlightened'? Hurry up and chase the dogs."

Wang Li looked at Wang An, grinned, and then lifted his feet and bolted off; Wang An and Mu Xueli naturally started running as well.

Only the three tied-up yellow-haired piglets were left in place, grunting continuously; as for pigs, having their mouths tied doesn't stop them from making noise.

Although wild boars are afraid of dogs, it hadn't reached the level of being terrified, so in this knee-deep snow, the five wild boars that luckily escaped didn't run too far.

It might also be that pushing through the snow was tiring, and the pigs themselves were quite hungry, so these five wild boars soon stopped in an oak forest and began to rummage for acorns to eat.

As for the three companions that had just disappeared, not a single wild boar took it to heart.

Including the two mother boars, the mothers of the yellow-haired piglets, they were also like pigs who had nothing wrong, eating when they should, and eating quite heartily at that.

But soon, with the arrival of the ten dogs huffing and puffing, the five wild boars continued to run.

After Da Hei barked wildly a few times, surprisingly, not a single one of the ten dogs went to bite the wild boars; instead, they all scattered and soon surrounded the five wild boars.

The three black dogs and Er Huang ran to the front of the wild boar group, the three green dogs ran to the left of the pig group, and Da Huang led San Huang and Si Huang to the right of the wild boars.

Only in the direction of the pigs' butts was there not a single dog.

Moreover, all ten dogs were baring their fangs and barking wildly around the pig group, yet not a single dog took the initiative to go up and tear at them.

The five wild boars surrounded were all mother pigs and yellow-haired piglets, so their aggression wasn't as strong as that of a boar, or perhaps they were just stunned by the sudden formation of the ten dogs.

Anyway, these five pigs were all huddled tightly together at this moment, rather than choosing to charge together.

As the ten dogs approached, the wild boars became even more panicked and uneasy.

Immediately after, as one of the mother boars turned around and bolted, the other four wild boars turned around and started running one after another.

And the direction they were heading at this moment was exactly the direction they had come from; in other words, following this path, they would run right into Wang An and the other two.

Amidst Da Hei's "Woof woof" barking, the ten dogs still maintained the formation from just now, always keeping the pig group on the route they had come from.

Just like that, this bizarre scene of a pack of dogs driving pigs was staged in the deep mountains.

The three people who were running weren't very tired yet, because they hadn't been running for long.

Then, as the three of them ran, they stopped at the same time, because all three heard that on the other side of the ridge, the barking of the dogs was getting closer and closer.

"Fourth Brother, what's going on? Why do these dogs sound so lively?" Wang Li asked with confusion.

But Wang An didn't know what was going on either! He had never experienced this before.

So Wang An said with a smile, "Aren't you able to 'feel' things? Hurry up and feel it, then tell the two of us what's going on."

Wang Li smiled, not daring to argue with Wang An, and Wang An continued:

"No matter what's going on, let's hide behind the trees first and aim our guns."

Then the three of them acted quickly, each taking a tree, and hid themselves. Actually, calling it hiding, as long as one wasn't blind, one could see the one eye and gun barrel each of them had exposed.

However, this behavior was just so-so; being able to create a bit of visual interference was enough.

Ten-plus seconds later, the ten dogs, driving the 5 pigs, appeared in the sight of the three.

Seeing this scene, all three were dumbfounded; what the hell kind of situation was this?

After a while, Wang An stopped being dumbfounded and quickly ordered:

"Be extremely careful not to hurt the dogs. Old Five, hit the mother boar on the left; Xueli, hit the mother boar on the right. Aim for the heads. I'll count 1, 2, 3, and the three of us will fire together."

"Got it, Brother-in-law, Fourth Brother," Mu Xueli and Wang Li replied at the same time.

Wang An watched the scene before him of the ten dogs driving the pigs, his heart was quite shocked; he always felt that his own Da Hei seemed to have become a spirit! Or perhaps it had wolf-ified.

According to the old people in the village, when wolves enter the village to catch pigs, this is the operation they use.

In this era, pigs in the countryside were generally free-range; so-called free-range means they were like chickens, ducks, and geese, without a pen, wandering around to find food themselves.

Of course, in winter, after the wild vegetables and grass withered, the owners would also feed them, but the pig feed was like that of many domestic guard dogs, consisting of various kinds of bran.

Under normal circumstances, pigs that had wandered all day would return home at night, and those that didn't return had to be searched for by the pig's owner throughout the village.

Whether it was a pig that returned home on its own or one that was found, there were no pens, so for the pig's owner, as long as the pig was in their own yard, that was enough.

And at night, if wolves entered the village to eat pigs, many wolves wouldn't bite the pigs to death on the spot.

Instead, they would open the yard gate, drive the pigs into the mountains, and then bite the pigs to death and eat them in the mountains.

When Wang An heard about this wolf-driving-pigs thing back then, he thought it was just a story, made up by the old people.

But after verifying it from multiple sources, he knew it was true!

And such things hadn't happened just once or twice, but many times!

At this very moment, what these ten dogs were doing could be said to be exactly the same as the wolves' method.

However, what made Wang An laugh and cry was that this was clearly a strategy his own Da Hei had thought of because it was afraid of not being able to eat meat.

After all, if there weren't dogs to pin the wild boars down tightly, Wang An would absolutely not dare to go head-to-head and wrestle with a wild boar.

Let alone being able to capture a wild boar alive and tie it up; it was simply impossible.

Finally, the wild boars entered the range of about 100 meters, and Wang An immediately said, "You two aim before you fire, be extremely careful not to hurt the dogs, 1, 2, 3."

As soon as Wang An's word "3" fell, the gunshots of two 56-semi-automatics rang out almost simultaneously.

The reason it was two was because Wang An didn't fire at all.

It was mainly because Wang An changed his mind at the last minute; a living yellow-haired piglet was much more attractive than a dead one!

After a "Bang!" gunshot, both mother boars were hit in the center of their brows, and their bodies, which were running forward, plunged directly into the snow.

And the sudden gunshot also made the remaining 3 yellow-haired piglets and 10 dogs go crazy.

The 3 yellow-haired piglets instantly turned and accelerated, running for their lives, one to the left and two to the right, rushing towards the three green dogs and three yellow dogs respectively.

It could be seen that the deterrent power of the gunshot was clearly more frightening to the wild boars than the deterrent power of the dogs.

Mu Xueli and Wang Li lowered their guns at the same time after firing, because the pigs were running next to the dogs.

In the current situation, if they fired again, no one could guarantee they wouldn't hurt the dogs, while Wang An's gun remained pressed against his face, motionless.

The two discovered that Wang An hadn't fired at all, but they didn't have any questions or surprise.

Because in the eyes of the two, Wang An's thinking was always different from normal people, changing very quickly.
