Chapter 14 The Hero of the Wild Boar Ditch Saves America
When the Wang family's horse gang caravan appeared outside Qinghe County, Wu Song finally understood what a big horse gang was. The mule team that could not be seen at first sight were all strong mules, each mule carries three packs of huge goods, which seemed to be tea. There were a total of sixty people, each with a short knife and one hundred and eighty mules, and the team grew more than a mile.
Wang Xin said that this time, the food transported was not the tea cakes exported to the Liao Kingdom, but the real Xinyang Maojian. The price of a pound of Xinyang Maojian is two jin, which means that the goods carried by a mule are between five hundred and three hundred jin. According to this ratio, the premium for this trip is really cheap, but it can be paid for the close distance.
Wang Xin was also surprised when he saw Wu Song. Wu Song changed into a strong suit, with various weapons hanging on his waist, and a long-handled iron discus in his hand. The pancake is one foot in diameter and weighs fifty kilograms. It is made of steel pipes, which looks a bit rough. The other twelve people also took hunting forks, hunting knives and other weapons, and they also looked majestic.
Wang Xin said: "Wu Baozheng, what kind of weapon is this? Why have you never seen it before?"
"This was made by rushing work last night. It was just a discus with a handle. I called it a tiger slap, which means that this weapon hits a tiger like hitting a fly." Wu Song said.
Wang Xin said: "You will be instructed today. Let's see when we start?"
"Let's go and try to get to the Wild Boar Gully at noon." Wu Song said.
Wang Xin originally found a horse for Wu Song, but Wu Song weighed 200 kilograms, plus some fragments of 200 kilograms. The horse was just an ordinary horse and was a little overwhelmed. Wu Song saw that he should forget it and walk.
After walking for more than three hours, the groom and mule were tired, and the team rested outside the mountain pass outside the wild boar ditch. Everyone took out dry food to eat a few bites. The mule also prepared barley and bean cakes and fodder.
After dinner, everyone was preparing to enter the mountain. Wu Song arranged money to enter the mountain. He was not allowed to stay in the valley, not to be convenient at will, and not to be allowed to tease wild boars. The grooms also knew about it. Wu Zhuang, Wu Yun and Wu Fei held hunting knives and carried hunting forks behind the palace. Wu Song led Liu Daniu, Mao Hai and ten others to lead the way in front.
Wu Song was very open-minded and saw the good environment of the Song Dynasty. The wild chestnut trees on the roadside were all the same as one person, more than ten meters high. Some of the red fruits, pears and other wild fruits were still hung on the tall treetops. A few squirrels caused the fruit to snatch the fruit and fight on the trees. They hit a few ripe persimmons and fell to the ground to become cakes.
Before I walked far, I saw a group of wild boars, about twenty, all of them, all of them were large and small, and the largest one was only 200 to 300 kilograms and the small ones were dozens of kilograms. These lazy people slept under the chestnut tree after eating and sleeping under the chestnut tree. When they saw pedestrians from afar, they ignored them. Wu Song arranged many times and strictly prohibited wild boars, so they were in peace.
When he arrived at the middle of the wild boar ditch, Wu Song was so surprised that he couldn't stop talking and encountered a large group of at least fifty wild boars, of which ten were more than five hundred kilograms. The red-haired wild boars had special teeth, and they looked twenty centimeters from a distance. The exposed fangs and red hair were covered with red hair, which looked particularly scary. The mules were a little depressed and kept sniffing. However, it was noon, and the wild boars were sleepy and no wild boars came to cause trouble. The group came out of the wild boar ditch safely.
The team stopped and Wang Xin said: "Thank you for your help. This is the final payment of 100 taels of silver. Please accept it."
Wang Xin was quite polite. Wu Song was the first order to buy and sell, and he was a little embarrassed to collect money, but there was no way, it was money that worked hard. He immediately said a few words and took the money. Wang Xin led the caravan away.
Looking at the back of the Wang family caravan leaving, Wu Zhuang said: "When can we get so many mules and horses like them, and we have strong transportation capacity."
"Everything is difficult at the beginning. We have already taken the first step. Today is a good start. Two hundred taels of silver are enough for us to buy a big cart and a mule." Wu Song said.
Seeing that it was not early, Wu Song said, "Let's return the same way, be careful, this red-haired wild boar is extraordinary."
A group of thirteen people carefully passed through the wild boar ditch. Before they could walk far, they heard the howls of wild boars and the cries of people in front of them.
The three men and three riders actually used bows and arrows to hunt wild boars. They were so stupid. Sure enough, the wild boar became manic when they got into the arrow and sent a helping signal. More than a dozen red-haired wild boars roared and rushed towards the three riders. The horses were frightened and were out of control at all, and the three ran away.
As the saying goes, there is a pig, two bears, and three tigers. This does not mean that wild boars are more powerful than bears and tigers. The reason is that wild boars have a bad temper and are not angry. Once they get angry, they don’t care about their own lives and rush around. Especially the large wild boars are four or five hundred kilograms of power and thick skin. The general hunting bow cannot effectively harm them. Instead, they will anger the wild boars and cause greater damage. The two animals of bears and tigers are relatively rare, and the other is that they act alone, which causes less damage to people than wild boars. Therefore, there is a saying that one pig, two bears and three tigers.
This is the case for these three people. They had no experience in hunting and actually rode horses with bows and arrows to shoot wild boars. The wild boars were furious and ran around in scattering.
Wu Song saw it clearly. The woman in blue was lying on the jujube. She held a bent bow in her hand and shone the nearest wild boar behind her. She was an arrow. The wolf-toothed arrow fell into her eyes. The wild boar behind saw that her companion became more and more fierce, and the five big red-haired wild boars were chasing her. The jungle was dense, and the horses were limited in speed. The woman took out a red silk from her pregnant woman and threw it over. Bang, she wrapped around the front leg of a pig and threw it on the horse. The woman in blue shot several arrows and shot the wild boar. However, the red-haired pig had thick skin, and the bow and arrow were inserted into her body without affecting the speed at all.
Seeing that there was nothing left, the woman in green didn't want the horse to be injured by a wild boar, so she flew off the horse and pulled out two bright steel knives from behind. The blade edge was sharp.
"Hey, yeah." The woman was catching the moon in the sea, and cut off the front legs of a wild boar in front. The wild boar was lying on the ground without legs.
Another wild boar flew over, and his mouth was more than one foot long and he opened his mouth and bit the woman's thigh. Then he bit it and his legs disappeared. The woman hurriedly dodged and slashed the wild boar's shoulder armor with his left steel knife. With a click, the knife stuck the bone and directly let the pig run away.
