Chapter 105 No Hope
No one present had ever seen how big a wild boar was, except Zhou Mingqi.
Zhou Mingqi gestured how long and wide the wild boar was, and Old Mrs. Zhou estimated that it weighed at least two hundred kilograms.
"Boss, go call Youcai, and I'll call your second uncle."
Old Mrs. Zhou dropped the rope in her hand and hurried to the village to look for someone.
The wild boar was quite big, and it was impossible for the elderly, children and women in her family to hold it down.
Old Mrs. Zhou and Old Man Zhou acted separately, and soon they called over twenty people.
It's not that they like to show off, it's just that this matter is too unbelievable. When people heard that they were going to catch wild boars, except for those who could contribute, everyone in the family who had limbs wanted to go and see. A large group of people came from one family, so there were so many people.
Fortunately, everyone knew their limitations and no one brought their children here.
Everyone had useful tools in their hands and their faces were filled with smiles. If they could catch this wild boar, they would be able to brag about it for the rest of their lives.
After everyone was ready, Zhou Mingqi led the way and the group of people walked into the mountains in a mighty manner.
On the way, Old Lady Zhou kept telling the onlookers to stay away, saying that it would be a serious matter if they were hit by a wild boar. Their Zhou family was a difficult family, and if anything unexpected happened, they would have no money to treat their injuries.
Zhou Mingshu stood guard at the edge of the pit with a long stick in her hand. As soon as the wild boar stopped, she would hit it with the stick and kept chasing the wild boar to make it run.
Wild boars are a species with strong reproductive capacity, survival ability, combat capability and defensive ability. She specially picked an underage wild boar, but it also weighed more than 100 kilograms. Compared with unarmed humans, they were no match for it at all.
She really couldn't think of any good way to catch it. Its mane was so hard that it must prick her hands, and its attack power was so strong that anyone it hit would be injured.
The best way now is to consume its physical strength.
The little piglet was running in the mud with a grunting sound, and it was obvious that it was getting very impatient. Fortunately, the pit was deep enough so it didn't jump out.
Not long after, there was a commotion in the mountains. It seemed that my second sister had brought people over.
Old Mrs. Zhou didn't feel tired at all. She ran very fast and arrived at the pit in the blink of an eye.
"Oh my, this wild boar is not small. It weighs about 200 kilograms."
Zhou Mingshu admired her eyesight very much. She could estimate how heavy the pig was with just one glance.
"Yes, you must have these, sister-in-law, now you are rich."
Second grandfather Zhou Tiezhu was puffing away at the welding smoke with a smile on his face. The sale of this pig would fetch at least five or six taels of silver, which would at least help my sister-in-law's family ease the debt pressure.
"Haha, Sanya is really the lucky star of our Zhou family. She was the one who found this piglet. Oh, this piglet is so cute no matter how you look at it."
Old Mrs. Zhou clapped her hands and boasted to the people around her, saying that San Ya really brought honor to her family.
The people who came to watch the fun all had envy on their faces. This was nothing else but a pig.
A pound of pork in the town sells for thirty cents. This time the Zhou family has made a fortune.
Only Zhou Mingshu muttered in his heart, "Grandma, this wild boar is so dirty, how can you see it as cute?"
Boss Zhou and the young men called from the village were discussing how to catch the wild boar.
No one dares to go down into such a deep pit.
Because once you go down, it's all wild boars' territory. If you can't hold the wild boars down, you will definitely be held down by the wild boars. This is life-threatening, and no one dares to take such a big risk.
After thinking about it, it turned out to be the same idea as Zhou Mingshu. Chase the wild boar first, and then throw the net bag down when the wild boar is tired. This way the net will be more accurate.
Because the pig looked a little tired, this suggestion was unanimously agreed by everyone.
Even the net bag was woven on the spot, using the hemp rope we brought with us. Fortunately, we had enough rope.
Zhou Tiezhu's mouth was filled with welding smoke and he did a great job on his work. It was just weaving a net, which was a piece of cake for him.
Not long after, the village chief Wang Fugui came with a few people. After hearing some rumors in the village, he came to see what was going on.
Fortunately, we arrived in time and the wild boar had not been caught yet, otherwise it would have been a wasted trip.
Seeing Zhou Tiezhu weaving a net, he rolled up his sleeves and squatted down to help, "Tiezi, you have to weave it tighter. If the wild boar breaks free, it will be terrible. Your sister-in-law will have to blame you. The pig that is in your mouth can run away~"
"Lao Wang, you are such a good person, hurry up and get started, we are waiting for you. You always brag about your work, why don't you show it off to everyone?"
"Just take a look, it's just a net bag. I can still be better than you even if I dress it up a bit."
Zhou Mingshu listened to the two old guys bickering. He didn't expect the village chief to be so interesting and competitive.
However, with the participation of Wang Fugui, the net bag was quickly woven. It must be said that the net bag was indeed sturdy.
The grunting sounds of the wild boar at the bottom of the pit became weaker. Compared to when it first entered, it was now obviously very tired. After all, it had been running non-stop for the entire afternoon.
After Zhou Lao Da chased for a while, his second grandfather Zhou Tiezhu prepared the net bag, positioned his legs, aimed at the wild boar at the bottom of the pit, and was ready to go.
The onlookers also held their breath and watched the scene nervously.
Zhou Mingshu was also watching carefully. After all, her wild boar plan was about to succeed.
"Hey!" Zhou Tiezhu shouted 'Hey' as he threw the net. He saw that the wild boar was caught in the net, but who knew that the wild boar was smart. It jumped up and its speed increased.
"You old boy, I knew you can't do it. Get out of here and let me do it." Wang Fugui pushed Zhou Tiezhu aside, put away the net bag and prepared to do it himself.
"I'll give it to you. You're old enough and still trying to show off like a kid. Be careful not to hurt your old waist."
Don't think that wild boars are stupid just because their name contains the word "pig". They are old rogues in the forest, smart and powerful. They have almost no natural enemies and are not even afraid of leopards and tigers.
The village chief Wang Fugui threw the ball several times but failed. Every time he was about to catch the fish, it would escape again.
The second grandfather next to him laughed out loud with joy.
Wang Fugui looked a little embarrassed, "One more throw, the last one." He kept moving, collecting the net in his hand.
"You've said it many times, the last time." Zhou Tiezhu didn't believe the old man in front of him at all.
Wang Fugui was so frustrated that he didn't hold out any hope anymore. He just threw the wild boar into the pit. The wild boar was probably too tired to do anything and dived into the net bag.
