Except for the chirping of insects, the surrounding area is extremely quiet. The Lion Rock, which is named after its resemblance to a lion, does not look majestic at all in the night, but looks a bit ferocious. Anyone who is timid will not be frightened.

There are a few large rocks scattered on one side of the small valley. A young man is sitting quietly behind one of the rocks, occasionally looking at the small plain in front of him. The young man has a short crew cut and wears a camouflage uniform.

There was a homemade shotgun lying at his feet. He looked at the watch on his hand under the bright moonlight. It was four o'clock in the morning. He looked at the sky in the distance and saw a faint light. "It dawns so early in the summer."

, I guess there are no wild boars out tonight." He whispered to himself softly.

Suddenly, there was a rustling sound from the mountain. The young man quickly lowered his head and hid behind the big rock again, looking forward motionlessly. He thought in his heart, "I'm afraid a wild boar has come out." There was an animal walking in the distance.

The sound of trampling dead branches became louder and louder, which was particularly harsh in the quiet valley. However, when the boy heard the sound, he felt it was so beautiful. As the sound got louder, he became quieter and quieter, his ears

Listening carefully to the sound, I judged: there were estimated to be 4.5 of them, and there must be a big one taking the lead. Wild boars usually come out to look for food in groups, but this time it was just a small group, probably a small family.

The voice became quieter, and a group of dark wild boars finally walked out of the forest and towards the plains. The boy took a closer look and saw 5 of them, 4 small ones and one big one. The small one weighed about 7.80 kilograms, and the big one weighed about 200 pounds.

Jin. The pigs grunted and ran happily to the ground. The big one took a few small ones and ran into the ground. They raised their mouths hard towards the ground. Under the moonlight, they were only twenty meters away from the wild boar.

The boy who was 5 meters tall could clearly see the tusks of the big wild boar, which were still glistening with cold light. He picked up the gun, gently pulled out the five loaded bullets, and took out two solid bullets from his pocket.

Then reload two solid bullets and three loose bullets into the magazine. Adjust your body slightly, stand up gently from behind the stone, lean forward half a step with your left foot, hold the handle of the gun with your right hand, and place your index finger on the trigger.

, grabbed the front handguard with his left hand, and stared at the wild boar with his eyes.

Good opportunity! The big wild boar moved half a meter forward than the small wild boar. The boy grabbed the front handguard with his left hand and pulled it back. There was a slight click, and the bullet was loaded. The small sound of loading was heard except for the chirping of insects and the wild boar.

The humming sound when they arched the ground was a little clear, and the wild boars all raised their heads and looked in the direction of the boy. The boy quickly pulled the trigger, grabbed the front handguard with his left hand and pulled it back, and pulled the trigger.

One second later, there was another "bang" sound. In the light of the fire, two consecutive solid bullets hit the big wild boar in the head. Several small wild boars were frightened and turned around and ran towards the forest. The big wild boar staggered a few steps and fell.

On the ground, his limbs twitched slightly and gradually became motionless.

The young man looked at the sky. White fish belly slowly appeared on the horizon. He glanced at his watch and saw that it was 5:20. Unknowingly, it had been more than an hour. He took out the remaining bullets in the gun, turned around and put the gun in.

He took it out of the gun bag that his grandma had sewn with camouflage cloth, and put it into the bag he carried. He slowly packed other things like water, mosquito repellent, etc. He took one hand from his pocket.

He took out a pack of cigarettes, lit one, and took a long drag. Carrying his backpack, he walked towards the fallen wild boar. "I've been guarding you for three days, and I finally caught you."

The boy's name was Xu Ziling, but Xu Ziling didn't have a brother from Marshal Kou, nor a confidante like Shi Xianzi. He was 19 years old, the only son in the family, and had just graduated from high school. After filling out his application form at school, he returned to his hometown in the countryside. His hometown is now also

There are only grandparents. My father, Xu Haoran, is also an only child. When he returned from the army, he started a small business and married his mother, Zhang Lan, who was a teacher. Later, he opened a small or medium-sized quarry company in the town until now.

It is said to be a quarry company, but in fact it uses machines to turn big stones into small stones for building roads. In recent years, most rural areas have built cement roads, so the company's business is pretty good, earning one or two hundred a year.

Wan. I bought a house in the county town 10 years ago. The whole family moved to the county town. My grandparents lived there for a while, but they felt unaccustomed to the city and returned to the countryside. So every year during holidays, Xu Ziling would go back to the countryside to accompany his grandparents.

.My grandparents are both over 70 years old, but they are walking fast and always like to plant vegetables and so on. Xu Ziling always tells them to stop planting. Grandpa always says: "I'm used to doing things, and I won't be able to take time off when I get old."

, I feel pain all over my body when I’m free, and I don’t know if the vegetables I bought are clean or not, so you might as well take some to eat.”

Xu Ziling always couldn't laugh or cry every time he heard his grandfather's words. In the end, he had no choice but to let them go. Just think of it as exercise, and the old man might live longer. When he came back this time, his grandma told Xu Ziling that the land where sweet potatoes are grown at home

The village was always overrun by wild boars. Now that the countryside has become affluent, few people go into the mountains, so slowly there are more wild boars and pheasants. In the past few years, wild boars have become a disaster, so there are

The scene at the beginning of the article.

Xu Ziling walked to the dead wild boar and kicked him. The wild boar did not move. It seemed that it was completely dead. Blood foam was still coming out of the middle of the forehead, and occasionally there were brains stained red with blood.

. He held the cigarette between his index finger and thumb and flicked it to the ground. He lifted up his feet wearing jungle combat boots and stamped them out. He put his backpack on his back, grabbed the wild boar's hind legs and dragged it toward a path on the edge of the plain.

We walked along a road wide enough for one person. There were mountains on the left side of the road, and long-abandoned terraced fields on the right side. Both sides were covered with weeds as tall as a person. Fortunately, the weeds on both sides were cleared when we entered the mountains two days ago.

, otherwise the road would not be visible in such a dim sky.

I walked slowly for about a kilometer. It was already getting bright at this time, and I came to a piece of flat land. The land where my grandfather grows sweet potatoes is here. The land is about a hundred meters wide, with mountains on both sides, and it curves five times.

The road bends and stretches towards the south. Therefore, the villagers call this valley Wuwan Valley. In fact, this flat land was originally the innermost part of the valley. The place where Xu Ziling hunted was only reclaimed on Lion Mountain in the 1960s and 1970s.

, but it has been abandoned for almost ten years now. When Xu Ziling came to check it out three days ago, he could clearly see the "roads" that wild boars had walked in the grass. He followed the road and found the front of the mountain forest.

flat land, so I chose to hunt in this place where wild boars must pass.

There is a gravel road on the right side of the flat land. It was also the ox cart road built by the older generation when they reclaimed Lion Mountain. It is about four meters long. There is a small stream between the gravel road and the mountain, and the mountain spring water winds down the mountain side.

, flowing into the village. Through the clear stream, you can also see mountain crabs and small fish foraging in the water. Xu Ziling threw the wild boar that had been dragged hairless on one side of its front body to the ground, and walked to the stream to wash it.

He put his face and hands together and took a sip of the mountain spring water. After drinking the slightly sweet spring water, he felt refreshed. He took off the bag from his back and walked towards the small depression at the end of the flat ground, where Xu Ziling parked his car specially this time.

I borrowed a pickup truck from the quarry, opened the door, put my bag on the back seat, took out the key and started the pickup truck, accelerated violently, and the pickup truck rushed out of the depression like a leopard. As soon as the rear of the car left the depression, Xu Ziling quickly

He stepped on the brake, immediately engaged the reverse gear with his right hand, stepped on the accelerator and drove quickly backwards towards the flat ground. He was only a few dozen meters away in the blink of an eye. Without even looking at the mirror, he stepped on the brake.

With a "Z" sound, the old pickup truck without ABS, its tires tightly locked on the ground, slid for three or four meters, and stopped steadily about one meter away from the wild boar on the ground.

Xu Ziling got out of the car, opened the back door of the pickup truck, bent down, grabbed the wild boar's hind legs with one hand, and grabbed the front legs with the other. Without any effort, he was able to hold the two hundred kilogram wild boar firmly.

I held it in my hand. I grabbed the wild boar and put it in the trunk. I closed the door and got into the car. I started the car and saw that it was still early, so I slowly drove home.

The pickup truck swayed out of the valley. At the entrance of the valley was the cement road that had been built a few years ago leading to the neighboring village. After getting on the cement road, the car finally stopped swaying. Five minutes later, Xu Ziling returned home. The two-story small

There was a yard of about one hundred square meters in front of the building. I parked the car in the yard. The grandfather who heard the sound of the car came out of the house and said, "Ziling Yaozi, how are you? Did you keep watch last night?"

Quickly wash up and have breakfast, your grandma is making it, it will be ready soon."

"Grandpa, we got it. We came out at around 4 o'clock this morning, so it was a bit late." Xu Ziling replied.

"Really? Let me take a look." Xu Ziling opened the rear door.

"Hmm, not bad. I estimate it weighs about two hundred kilograms." Grandpa looked at the pig's head and said, "My shooting skills are getting better and better. I shot him in the head. It seems that I haven't forgotten what I taught you."

Grandpa was a veteran who fought in the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea. After returning from the army, he returned to the mountains and became a hunter. When Xu Ziling was eleven or twelve years old, every time he returned to his hometown during the winter and summer vacations, his grandfather always took him hunting. Until the past two years, his grandfather has grown older.

, Xu Ziling always went hunting alone. But this was the first time he encountered such a big wild animal as a wild boar.

"Hehe..." Xu Ziling smiled a few times with an honest look. "Grandpa, I will never forget what you taught me."

"Okay, let's put the things away, go wash up, and have breakfast. You can send the wild boar to your uncle later. This wild boar is thick and not very tasty."

"Well, okay." There is an old hunter who always eats these wild animals in his family. When Xu Ziling was young, his grandfather could always catch them every now and then. So now the whole family doesn't like eating wild boar very much.

I closed the car door, took my backpack out of the car, and put it into the room. I took off my camouflage uniform and changed into casual clothes. I walked to the yard and washed up. When I walked into the living room, grandma

He was walking out of the kitchen carrying two bowls of porridge.

"grandmother!"

"Hey, I heard from your grandpa, did you make it today? My little grandson is pretty awesome." Grandma said with a smile.

"This is all what my grandpa taught me when I was young." Xu Ziling replied with a smile.
