Chapter 770: Never let go

Of course, the reason for saying these two dogs were half-understanding and half-bewildered was that they could easily understand some simple commands.

If Wang An said something too long, then with their comprehension ability, they really couldn't keep up.

After Wang An finished speaking, the two dogs looked at Wang An's face. Wang An pointed again to where Da Huang and Er Huang were, and only then did the two dogs run over, yelping.

As for Hua San, seeing that Wang An was free, he cheekily wanted to get close to Wang An, but Wang An had no time to pay attention to him right now, so he pushed him aside.

After scanning left and right, Wang An finally fixed his gaze on the wild boar pinned down by Da Hei, Xiao Hei, and the others. Without turning his head, he said to Wang Li:

"Let's go, next one."

In fact, the reason Wang An chose this uninjured pig was that Da Hei, Xiao Hei, and Hua Er had already pinned it down.

Especially the pig's head, which was most dangerous to humans, had already been pressed to the ground by Da Hei and Xiao Hei. Although the wild boar was still struggling, it could only move within a small range.

After walking up to Da Hei and Xiao Hei, Wang An said: "You two hold her down tight, never let go."

As he spoke, Wang An casually tied another pig-trotter knot.

Speaking of the pig-trotter knot, this thing actually involves making two adjacent circles on a rope and then overlapping them.

The most awesome thing about this knot is that the more you pull, the tighter it gets. Unless the rope breaks, it is absolutely impossible for the tied animal to break free.

Having prepared the pig-trotter knot, Wang An hesitated to act.

The main thing was that this wild boar was uninjured and had a very good physique. After discovering that Wang An and Wang Li were approaching, it struggled and resisted even more violently.

If it weren't for the astonishing combat power of Da Hei and Xiao Hei, and their firm grip, it really might have been possible for the boar to break free.

After a while, Wang Li said softly to Wang An:

"Fourth Brother, this pig is hard to catch. Should we just finish her off?"

Wang An thought for a long time before nodding helplessly. The main thing was that no matter what you do, you have to choose the path with the most certainty, especially in these deep mountains, where safety is of paramount importance.

After nodding, Wang An took out his large 54-pistol from his pocket, pulled the slide, and pulled the trigger at the pig's forehead.

With a "Bang!" of a gunshot, the sow stopped struggling on the spot and lay obediently on the ground.

To be honest, Wang An had wanted to hunt this sow with a knife, but the boar's struggle was a bit too intense.

Moreover, with two dogs biting the pig's ears, the pig's neck was blocked by the dogs. If the wild boar were to make a final desperate counterattack, the bayonet in Wang An's hand would likely have injured the dogs.

After killing the sow with one shot, Wang An pointed to the two pigs that hadn't been tied up yet and said to Da Hei: "Da Hei, Xiao Hei, Hua Er, hurry over and help."

Da Hei could understand what Wang An said. After barking a few times, he walked alone toward the direction of Da Huang and Er Huang.

As for Xiao Hei and Hua Er, they went to help San Huang and Si Huang.

Without needing Wang An's instruction, Wang Li immediately took out his hunting knife and stabbed it into the dead pig's neck. While the pig's body was still warm, he let out as much blood as possible.

With the addition of Da Hei, Er Hei, and San Hei, the last healthy sow was instantly pinned down firmly and could no longer move.

And from then on, tying the pigs became a very simple matter.

A sow weighing over 200 jin didn't have much ability to begin with, and under the suppression of a pack of dogs, it was difficult for her to even move. Wang An and Wang Li just needed to keep tying ropes. Soon, all three live pigs were tied up. Wang An looked at the little piglets scattered around and couldn't help but click his tongue.

Perhaps it was because these little piglets hadn't been weaned yet, or perhaps because the sow hadn't taught them how to survive independently.

In any case, they didn't choose to run away like normal wild boars, but were walking around the sow with slight unease.

However, it was clear that the reason the dogs didn't go and bite them to death was entirely because Da Hei wouldn't allow it.

Wang An took out a cigarette, handed one to Wang Li, and then pointed his chin at the little piglets and said: "Old Five, do you think those little piglets can survive if we catch them and take them home?"

Wang Li heard this, looked at the 20-plus little piglets with a conflicted face, hesitated for a moment, and then said:

"I reckon it's unlikely. I'm just afraid that since they are so small and can't eat solid food yet, they'll be done for."

Wang An took a puff of his cigarette and then said: "Then just leaving them to fend for themselves, isn't that a bit heartless?"

Wang Li scratched his head and then said very irresponsibly: "Fourth Brother, I'll listen to you. Whatever you say, we'll do."

When Wang An heard this, he rolled his eyes at Wang Li in annoyance and said:

"Damn, you're useless."

After saying this, Wang An continued to look at the little piglets, clicking his tongue in conflict.

The main thing was that these little things were too small; one by one, they looked like big rats.

Wang Li didn't care about Wang An's words and instead suddenly asked Wang An: "Fourth Brother, earlier, why didn't you help Da Huang and the others first? The three of them almost let that pig run away."

Wang An was stunned for a moment upon hearing this. He didn't answer Wang Li's question but instead asked back: "What? In that situation, besides taking a chance to shoot the pig down, would you have dared to go up and catch it? Anyway, I wouldn't have dared."

Wang Li blinked his eyes, looked at the sow that had already been tied up, and immediately stopped talking.

Just as Wang An said, if three dogs couldn't pin down a wild boar, it would be useless for a human to go up. If the sow went crazy, the consequences would be truly unpredictable.

Most importantly, even shooting requires taking a chance, meaning you have to find the right opportunity. Firing randomly while the dogs and pigs are tearing at each other would likely result in injuring the dogs nine times out of ten.

Ignoring what Wang Li was thinking, Wang An gritted his teeth and said: "Old Five, get up and catch the pigs. Let's take all these little things home. If they live, they live; if they can't, then screw it."

When Wang Li heard this, he immediately said:

"Mm, alright, Fourth Brother."

As they spoke, the two men hunched over and walked toward the nearest little piglet.

These little piglets were truly too small. Facing the two men's large hands, they didn't even try to dodge and were caught obediently.

Just like that, a total of 26 little piglets were all stuffed into sacks by Wang An and his companion.

However, they were packed into 4 sacks.

In the countryside, when going to the market to buy piglets, people also use sacks or baskets to carry them, so packing them this way was no problem at all.
