Chapter 49 Persuading to Retreat

“Woof! Woof! Woof woof!! Woof woof!!!”

“Woof woof woof! Woof woof! Woof woof woof!!! Woof woof woof!!!”

“Woof woof woof!!! Woof!! Ugh~~~”

“Woof woof woof!!!”

“Stop yelling! Stop yelling!!”

“Shh! Shush!! Stop barking! Two silly dogs! The pigs will be summoned by you soon!!!!” Lin Youfu patted the dog’s head and called the dog to follow him.

"Hey, hey, my shoes..." Feng bent down to pick up the lost straw sandals, and the acorns in the backpack fell out. She straightened up quickly, "Oh, my acorns!!!"

"Don't pick it up!" Yang pulled her up and left.

Lin Zisu's family of four tumbled and crawled down to the foot of the mountain and ran to their destination next to the official road.

Many people stayed in the team, peeling acorns and preparing food for their families for the day. Most of them were old and young, and the young and middle-aged people were on duty in two groups.

"What's going on?!" Old man Lin heard the noise coming from not far away and hurried over.

Dahuang and Dahua, who had stayed in their place, rushed over with their tails wagging. Two groups of young men on duty also rushed over with their tools in hand to check.

I saw a group of people, their faces full of panic, gasping for breath, their bodies covered with leaves, grass, and dirt, and some were barefoot, or had shoes on one foot and the other bare. They were already shabby from fleeing, and now they looked even shabbier.

“Huff, huff, huff…Huff, huff, huff…” Lin Youcai supported his knees with his hands, gasping for breath. He felt a little dizzy due to lack of oxygen in his head.

Lin Zisu held on to Old Lady Wang tightly with both hands and avoided falling flat on her face. "Ugh... Ugh... Ugh... Ugh... Ugh... Ugh..." She just felt dizzy and couldn't help dry-heaving.

For a moment, there was a sound of breathing everywhere and no one spoke.

Lin Xianwen looked at his family of four and laughed in his heart, mainly because he could hardly breathe and could not laugh. From the time his father went to school to the time he passed the imperial examination, he basically never worked in the fields. His mother was an ancient woman who stayed at home. He and his sister were spoiled. Except for the year or so when they were kidnapped and worked as servants, they did not do heavy work despite their young age. The family of four came first among a group of villagers who went up the mountains and worked in the fields every day. Hahahaha... Sure enough, in the face of life and death, human potential is infinite.

"What happened? Why are you running? Is there a tiger in the mountain?!" The head of the village looked at the group of miserable people in front of him. He wanted to ask his son and grandson, but he was gasping for breath and unable to speak.

Lin Youxing shook his head.

"Blind bear?!"

Lin Youxing shook his head.

In the end, Tian Daniu came to his senses and said, "Wild boar."

Butcher Zhao was on duty this morning and did not go up the mountain. He was surprised and said, "Wild boar? Wild boar! Wild boar, you are so scared that you run away like this?!!"

Lin Youcai took a deep breath through his nose and exhaled slowly through his mouth. After a while, he finally recovered, but his heartbeat was still not stable. He whispered, "A group of wild boars..."

Butcher Zhao: "There are probably about a hundred people going up the mountain, and there are only about a dozen or twenty wild boars in the herd!"

"Yes! If we kill a few, we'll have meat to eat! With so many pigs, each of us can eat as much meat as we want! We have acorn meal and meat! We don't have to worry about food!" Tian Daniu became more and more excited as he spoke, his eyes shining.

Everyone was also moved by what they heard. Yes, they didn’t have enough to eat every day and had to travel. It wouldn’t be long before winter came again.

Lin Youcai took the glass of water handed over by his mother and took a sip, "Thank you, mother." He looked at the two men helplessly and said, "Uncle Zhao, Daniu, we are a lot of people, but most of us are women and half-grown children. Most of the men are carrying acorns back and forth, and the team also has to be on duty. This is the first reason. We have been traveling hard all the way, eating poorly, and sleeping poorly. How can we have the energy to fight a group of wild boars? Everyone knows how fierce wild boars are! Tigers and bears will hide from a female wild boar with cubs, and will not fight head-on! This is the second reason."

The head of the village nodded and said, "Meat, everyone wants to eat it, but they have to have the life to eat it!"

"I think what Youcai said makes sense. If someone gets injured, their lives will be in danger. There are no doctors or medicine in the wilderness." Lin Benshu said with his hands on his hips, taking a deep breath.

"Even if we are not in the wilderness, can we save lives with medicine and doctors? If someone is pushed and thrown, he will bleed internally. If someone is bitten on the outside, he will bleed too much and die. Do I have to pay for the consultation and medicine? Everyone has a lot of money?" Lin Youcai sighed, "I want to eat meat, too! But wild boars are not stupid. Their temper and aggression are so fierce that no animal can be called the boss! They rush towards people in groups and run so fast that the earth shakes. Aren't you afraid?"

Lin Zisu put her hands on her hips, looked up at the sky, and ran so fast that it almost cost her life!

I complained in my heart: Wild boars are not the pigs in the pigpen at home, they are good-tempered and docile.

... They are not always docile. Some domestic pigs can be very fierce when they are with their pups!

Although she also wanted to eat meat, she didn't want anyone in the team to get hurt or have an accident. You can't eat human blood buns.

"Forget it... We will have acorn powder to eat soon. There are so many of them, they are all our food rations!" Lin Youcai's brother-in-law Shi Yong looked at everyone and smiled, pointing at the mountain of acorns to ease the atmosphere.

"We left our homes and homes, fled on the road, and suffered a lot. Why? It's just to have a stable place to live and work in peace. It's too risky for us to go against a group of wild boars! No matter who gets hurt or what happens to anyone, I don't want to. Everyone will feel bad! If we are still in Nanlin Village, gather a group of people, and prepare tools and traps, then I will never stop us. Or, we can find a place to settle down, even for a few days or a period of time, we can set traps and have meat. If there is only one wild boar, we can still find a way. For a group of wild boars, we can only set traps to get a harvest and be safe!" Nowadays, cold weapons are used, and not everyone has hot weapons. In ancient times, the cold weapons in the hands of ordinary people were just iron tools such as kitchen knives, hoes, and hatchets.

"Brother Youcai is right. We are on the road, fleeing. There are many dangers on the road. It is very unsafe to stay on the roadside for too long!" Tao Mingyuan said to everyone with a pale face. He thought to himself that he was running down the mountain, his body was exhausted, and he was going to attack the wild boars. He really didn't want to die.

Butcher Zhao patted Lin Youcai on the shoulder and said, "When I heard about wild boar, I only thought about the meat. I didn't think about anything else. Haha..."

Lin Youcai was so tired that he could not stand steadily. He was patted lightly and his body swayed. He quickly steadied himself, "I know, uncle. There is nothing we can do. We don't have much food left. Let's find a place with a millstone and grind out the acorns. It will last for a while."

Lin Benshu asked his father and shouted at the top of his voice, "Everyone, eat breakfast, pack up the acorns, and set off! There are so many acorns, every family has to put them away, and I don't know if there will be enough space. We are in a hurry today, and those who have cars, except for the children, all adults will go out to walk."

Everyone has no objection to this, it is food rations! They only complain that it is too little, not too much!

Lin Zisu looked at the two girls, whose faces, hands and feet were covered with wounds. Although they were all skin injuries, some of the wounds were quite long and deep.

Wei Qinnan's daughter was also called Daya, and there was also Daya who was abused in the Li family. Many people in the village called her Daya, Erya, Nizi, Chunni, etc. There were many people with the same name.

Since Li's eldest daughter stopped living with the Li family, she usually stayed with Li Juhua and Wei Qiniang. The two eldest daughters were inseparable, walking and working together, so they had company.

Lin Zisu went to the car and brought down a pot of boiled water, and called the girls over to wash the wound. Although there was no medicine, it would be good to wash the wound clean.

Lin Xianwen followed suit, so he had to arrange for his group of little brothers to wash their skin wounds as well.

The adults were busy loading acorns into the truck and changing the water in which the kernels were soaked.

Lin Youcai came up with an idea. He put a waterproof sheet around the bathroom of the RV, turning it into a big bucket, and put water in to soak the nuts. He tied it tightly to prevent it from spilling. Soaking nuts and traveling at the same time were both possible.
