Chapter 831: Abundant harvest

Looking at the wild boar carcasses scattered around the mud nest, Wang An's mood was truly quite good.

This time, because the number of wild boars was too large, Wang An and Wang Li didn't have time to leave any alive—that is, they didn't shoot the wild boars until they were crippled and bring them back like usual.

Instead, every shot was aimed at killing, basically one shot per pig.

One had to admit that for hunting, good marksmanship is absolutely a very important thing.

Just at this time, Wang Li pointed to the small wild boars in the dogs' mouths and asked:

"Fourth Brother, should we bleed the wild boars first, or tie up these small piglets first?"

Wang An looked at the circle of dead wild boars, then looked at the small wild boars in each dog's mouth, thought for a moment, and said:

"Better bleed them first, then tie up these small piglets after bleeding."

The reason Wang An wanted to do this was because wild boar meat is already dry when eaten, and if the blood isn't drained as quickly as possible, the wild boar meat will become both dry and fishy, and also have a stuffy taste.

Moreover, in this season, if the pig blood isn't drained quickly, the meat won't last long before it becomes rotten meat.

Only seeing Wang Li say with some worry after hearing this:

"Those small piglets in the dogs' mouths, won't they run away?"

Wang An looked at the dogs again, mainly looking at the small wild boars in the dogs' mouths, and then said while taking out his invasion knife:

"Look at those small piglets, they've been bitten into such a state. Even if you let them run, can they still run?"

One had to admit that these dogs are truly too cruel.

Because at this time, the small wild boars in these dogs' mouths were already covered in blood, and even the sound of their whimpering sounded powerless.

Wang Li said:

"I'm talking about the ones in the four small dogs' mouths, look at how vigorously they are still struggling."

These four dogs, because they only weighed 60-70 *jin* now, indeed looked a bit strained.

Especially the small wild boar caught by the second one, which must be at least 30-plus *jin*, so it gave people the feeling that this small wild boar could struggle and run away at any time.

Wang An pulled out his invasion knife from his waist, glanced sideways at those four dogs, and said while walking toward the wild boar carcasses:

"Just let those 4 practice. These 4 dogs have too poor a foundation. If they don't practice their ruthlessness, they won't have any great future later."

Actually, Wang An was very satisfied with the performance of these 4 dogs during this period. After all, the performance of these 4 dogs before was truly too poor.

And now that they could have such a big change, Wang An didn't have any big requirements for them. As for practicing their ruthlessness, it was just a matter of convenience.

Wang Li agreed casually:

"Mm, that's how it is."

As they spoke, Wang Li followed Wang An toward the wild boar carcasses.

These wild boars were all shot in the head. However, to be on the safe side, Wang An still took out the big 54 and instructed Wang Li:

"Lao Wu, take out your Mauser too. Let's not capsize in the gutter."

The reason he wanted to do this was because the vitality of mountain beasts is very tenacious. In case there were any wild boars that didn't die thoroughly when stabbing with the knife and they gave them a bite, that would be truly too shitty.

Wang Li agreed casually and took out the Mauser that was tucked in his waist.

Just like this, the two of them held handguns in their left hands and invasion knives in their right hands, and started bleeding the wild boar carcasses one by one.

One had to say, just after Wang An finished bleeding a few wild boars and was staring at a wild boar to stab it, Wang Li's Mauser rang out.

To tell the truth, this gunshot truly gave Wang An a fright. The key was that Wang An's attention was completely on the wild boar, and he didn't have any psychological preparation at all. After the gunshot, he heard Wang Li shout angrily:

"Damn, fortunately I was prepared. You actually wanted to sneak attack me, fuck."

Listening to Wang Li's full-voiced sound, Wang An knew that Wang Li definitely wasn't bitten, otherwise, Wang Li absolutely wouldn't have this sound.

However, even knowing this, Wang An still turned his head and asked:

"How is it? Didn't get touched, right?"

Only

"It's nothing, Fourth Brother. I used my gun to press against its forehead and stabbed it with my knife. As soon as it opened its mouth, I gave it a shot."

It was clear that Wang Li had also been scared quite badly.

Wang An looked at that wild boar and discovered that the previous bullet hadn't been very accurate; it had hit the back of the boar's head, which was why the boar hadn't died cleanly.

Consequently, Wang An urged him again:

"Yeah, if you feel something is off, just fire. Don't you dare get bitten by a boar."

Wang Li agreed, and the two of them continued to busy themselves.

After more than ten minutes, all the dead wild boars had been bled.

After counting, the two of them had killed a total of 39 wild boars this time.

Among them were 7 large sows; the biggest weighed 270 or 280 jin, and the smallest was at least 220 or 230 jin.

There were 8 two-year-old boars—that is, boars that hadn't fully matured yet; the biggest was 170 or 180 jin, and the smallest was at least 140 or 150 jin.

The remaining 24 wild boars were all piglets.

This harvest could be considered quite bountiful!

After finishing bleeding the boar carcasses, the two of them didn't dare to delay; they untied the ropes from their waists and walked toward the dogs.

After this ten-plus-minute ordeal, several of the piglets in the dogs' mouths had already been bitten to death by them, including the ones in the mouths of Er and Si.

It was clear that these two piglets had thoroughly annoyed these two dogs; otherwise, given their bite force, these two piglets really wouldn't have been bitten to death.

As for the other piglets, their condition wasn't great either, giving one the feeling that they were about to die at any moment.

You have to admit, although a dog's bite force isn't as strong as the fierce beasts in the mountains, it really doesn't take much effort to bite a piglet or other smaller animals to death.

Tying up these half-dead piglets was a very labor-saving task, so after another ten minutes or so, Wang An and Wang Li had finished tying up all 7 living piglets.

Wang Li frowned as he looked at these piglets and said:

"Fourth Brother, these little runts don't seem to be of much use tied up. I feel like it's unlikely they'll survive."

Upon hearing this, Wang An said with a face full of indifference:

"Who cares if they live or not? Let them last as long as they can. Anyway, killing them all right now wouldn't be of much use either."

Wang Li didn't respond; instead, he looked at the dead boars all over the ground and suddenly said with a face full of worry:

"Fourth Brother, you say, with all these dead pigs, how long will it take for the two of us just to skin them? If we still have to dismantle the meat, then I feel like even if we work until tomorrow, we'll likely struggle to finish."

Thanks to "Empire Emperor" for the tip. Thank you, thank you, thank you very much!
