Chapter 254 Wild Boar

"Of course it has to stop, the alpaca can't walk after running for so long. The ogres won't be able to catch up for a while." I put Li Wanxue in position. The firewood on the sheep's hump was unloaded with him. After lighting the fire, even the alpaca volunteered to come up to keep warm.

When it warmed up, Li yunna said, "Oba, it's snowing all the time. In a few days, I'm afraid even alpacas won't be able to walk in the snow."

"We'll see." "You want some water," I said.

Not only do we have to take care of our own water, we also have to prepare one for the alpaca.

After drinking the water, the alpacas huddle together to sleep. I cut some of the hide off, and with the help of Zombo and his wife, I wrapped knee pads around the legs of the alpaca. If the alpaca's legs freeze, we really can't walk.

When the work was done, they returned to the fire and the women were asleep. The remaining aborigine was still tending the fire, a little moody.

I pointed to the next two women. "Let them sleep, and the three of us will work a little longer."

"Better not sleep here, chief. It won't take long for the monster man to catch up." Zombo suggested.

"But the alpaca can't walk anymore. Rest." I propped myself up on a rock. "This brother is in charge of building a wall of snow here to hide the fire as much as possible. The two of us went over there and built a fire to mislead any monsters that came after us. That will give us time to escape."

"That's not a bad idea." Zongbu agreed, "Let's hurry up and get some sleep when we're done."

We took some kindling with us, and after gathering some wood from another stone, we set the fire on fire. After piling a lot of dry wood on top, more large logs were added.

On my way back, I almost stumbled, and I was really sleepy.

The native had built a wall of snow more than two meters high and six or seven meters long. Our fire was inconspicuous under a wall of snow.

He was covered with animal skins, and it was very warm when he got inside. Head against a rock and straight to sleep.

When I woke up, it was broad daylight. The snow has stopped. The clouds are thinning out.

When he lifted the hide, a chill came, as though it had penetrated his insides. After a few shudders, I hastened to bring back the fire, which was almost out.

The four of them woke up one by one.

"What time is it?" Li Yunna asked with a stretch.

"I don't know. It should be late."

"They haven't all been wiped out by wolves, have they? And you didn't?" She rubbed her hands and sat down next to me.

"Or maybe, even if you kill a part of it, the rest will have to run for their lives. They won't be able to follow us any further."

"Why do you think the wolves left us and went straight to them, Oba?"

"Because they have a deep grudge." That became clear to me last night. "It's a good thing we didn't shoot at the wolves before, or it would have been us. The ogre doesn't know how many wolves they've killed in the forest. They've been enemies forever."

"How can wolves hold such a grudge?" "She asked as she drank from her water bottle.

"I don't know. It's something special about their group. In fact, many animals are grateful and hold grudges. It's just that we humans think they're stupid." See Li Wanxue also came over, I let them two hurriedly wash to cook.

There's not enough kettle for anyone. The three of us men just washed our faces with snow. It's like rubbing salt on your face. It's very uncomfortable. It starts to burn.

In between bites, we went to check out another fire. It's all but extinguished.

Back at camp, two women beckoned me to a roast.

"Lu Fei has nothing to eat after this meal." Li Wanxue said.

I nodded. "Don't worry. We're past the forest.

"Now that we've found the tribe, we can have a change." Li Yunna said with joy.

"Eat, and be on your way when you're full." I glanced at four people, had a good night's sleep, and was in good spirits.

As we continue on the road, we try to go as high as possible because the snow will be a little shallower there. All the way back again and again, there is no trace of the monster. We relaxed our vigilance in the afternoon. As night fell, we found several dilapidated mud huts. There are no bugs in the winter. All that was left was a thick layer of dust.

After a simple cleaning, put on the hide and you can stay.

He went out to look for firewood and came back to see Zombo killing rabbits. Four big rabbits were placed in a row.

"Where did it come from?"

"I found a hole in the corner of another house and pulled it out." Zongbu said happily, "They took the initiative to bring us food. If there were no rabbits, we would have to starve for a day and a night."

I smiled ruefully, carried the firewood into the house, and resumed my search.

Five people ate two rabbits, because we didn't know if we were going to find the tribe tomorrow, so we had to save some for the future.

After a good night's sleep, everyone moved on.

At noon, the River Tribe appeared before us. The tribe has been a piece of broken, not a human breath. We took a detour to the place where we parted with Li Ding and them. There's no trace of it left. The thick ice on the river made it easy for us to cross.

When they reached the other side, Li yunna said, "Oba, let's go directly to the tribe that lives on the top of the mountain. Let's hurry up and we should be there before dark tomorrow."

"It must be so." I pointed to the woods ahead. "Let's camp here tonight and go hunting in the woods."

"Then don't eat rabbit for lunch?"

"Don't eat until we camp." At this rate, it won't take us long to get back to Bukgu.

When we got to the edge of the woods, we found that the snow was very thick and we could only go on hungry. He stopped when he found a bare rock.

Same old rules. Separate assignments. After eating the rabbit, leaving another native and two women behind, Zombu and I carried our guns into the woods.

After searching for the better part of an hour, I saw a trail of footprints on the ground.

"Boar's." "It's a big boar," said Zumbo excitedly.

"Come on, follow." This is really about improving the taste.

Zombo was a better hunter than I was, and as he followed the trail, he told me the story of a boar he once chased. In the midst of his excitement, a pit of snow appeared, from which came the wheezing sound of a wild boar. Growing up in the countryside, the sound of pigs barking was all too familiar to me.

Zombo and I gestured to each other and approached the snow pit from both sides. But just as we got closer, the big boar suddenly burst out. They were fat and fat, with a long mane on their necks, and two huge teeth protruding from their mouths about twenty centimeters long, like little elephants.

In panic, we all shot at it.

The boar let out a howl, and despite being wounded, darted at Zomb with such speed that zomb had no time to duck. It was too late for me to reload. He took out his axe and threw it at him.

The axe hit the pig's rump with precision. The boar howled and tried to throw the axe off, but it lost its strength and fell down on its hind legs.

I went up to make up the shot, and the boar whimpered and lay flat on the ground. Zombu's feet were crushed by the boar. He took a breath. "It's a good thing you're quick, chief, or I'll kill him."

"Get up." I thought that was scary, too.

After giving him a break, I cut two logs, tied the boar, and two men carried it back.

Faced with our harvest, the three men at the camp were dumbfounded. This is the first boar we've seen since we left the island.

After dismembering the boar, I made a kettle full of lard with fat and fat. Grease is very powerful. Baste meat with a bit of grease so it doesn't burn the surface. Put grease on branches and it burns longer and is less likely to go out.
