C2 Qin Village

"San, today we will enter the mountain with your grandfather. Wake up!"

A deep, middle-aged voice rang out in the courtyard, breaking the early morning silence of the village.

"Okay." A childish voice sounded from the west house.

This place was a small mountain village at the foot of the vast mountain. There were only about thirty families in this village. This kind of small village was extremely common in the Liang State.

In this mountain village, most of the villagers had the surname Qin. It was rumored that a thousand years ago, a rich family of Qin moved here to avoid disaster.

With the passing of time, the original Qin family was no longer as prosperous as it used to be. After that, the descendants of the Qin family lived by hunting for generations. Although they did not live a wealthy life, at least they would not starve.

The family head of this courtyard was called Qin Hong. He was currently in his forties, and he was tall and strong.

He had three children under him. His eldest son was enlisted for military service the year before; his second son was an apprentice in a blacksmith shop in Soaring Ddragon Town, thirty miles away from Qin Village . Only his youngest son was still at home.

Qin's father was over sixty years old. Because he often climbed mountains to hunt, his body was also healthy.

Qin Hong's youngest son's name was Qin Fengming.

It was said that when Qin Fengming was born, the flock of birds in the mountains chirped for an entire night. At dawn, Qin Fengming was born smoothly, so the patriarch named him Qin Fengming. It was said that Qin Fengming was born with a good omen. This good omen indicated that he would definitely make a meteoric rise in the future.

This year, Qin Fengming just happened to be ten years old. Although his face was slightly dark, he looked delicate and pretty. His eyes were extremely lively, and he seemed very smart.

Qin Hong's family lived at the back of the eastern part of the mountain village. Qin Fengming had followed his father and grandfather into the mountains to hunt since he was six years old.

When Qin Fengming heard his father's call, he did not dare to delay any longer. He hurriedly put on his clothes and walked out of the room.

It was drizzling last night, and the air in the courtyard seemed especially fresh. Taking a deep breath, they could still smell the scent of green leaves mixed with rainwater. In the forest outside, all kinds of birds were chirping non-stop, making the entire courtyard seem very quiet.

After eating, they prepared some dry rations for lunch, then got up and walked out of the courtyard door, heading towards the mountain.

Qin Fengming put a small knife about a foot long on his waist, then picked up a small steel fork and hurriedly followed.

Qin Fengming did not know that something would happen to him when he entered the mountain this time.

The day before yesterday, Qin Fengming and his grandfather had already set up several beast traps twenty miles away from the village. The main reason they went there today was to see if they had gained anything. This kind of thing was also what Qin Fengming was most willing to do.

Along the way, Qin Hong and his group kept looking for the direction they were heading towards. At the same time, they also had to pay attention to their surroundings and see if there were poisonous snakes or poisonous insects.

Because the villagers had been hunting for generations, it was hard to find any prey within a dozen miles of Qin Village. Therefore, the three of them needed to walk very far.

Four hours later, after crossing mountains and ridges, the three of them finally arrived at their destination. After a thorough investigation, Qin Fengming was extremely satisfied with their gains this time. They actually captured two pheasants, a mountain rabbit and a ferret.

They walked a long way, and unknowingly, it was already noon. After tidying up their prey, the three of them rested on the mountain rocks. They took out their rations and chatted as they ate.

Among the many small prey, the ferret was the most precious. If they took it to the shop in town, they could exchange it for a lot of money. That was why Qin Hong and his father were very happy.

After lunch and a discussion, Qin Hong decided to walk another two miles to see if they could encounter large prey like elk.

They hid their prey in an extremely hidden tree hole and sealed it with gravel to prevent other wild beasts from finding it. Then the three of them got up and walked forward again.

Because very few people came to this area, many places were already covered by vines. They needed to use a woodcutter to cut off the vines in front of them before they could pass.

Just as the three of them were carefully searching for prey in their surroundings, they suddenly heard the sound of teeth grinding tens of meters away from them. Qin Hong and his father immediately smiled when they heard the sound. It was the sound of some large animal eating.

Qin Hong followed the sound and nimbly climbed up the hill in front of him. He pushed aside the shrubs and leaned forward.

Suddenly, Qin Hong's expression changed drastically. A wild boar weighing a hundred kilograms was biting the root of a giant tree dozens of meters away.

This wild boar was extremely ferocious. Its two fangs were thirty centimeters long.

The wild boar's ears were exceptionally sharp. Although Qin Hong had tried his best to make light footsteps, the rustling of the bushes and the sound of wood had alarmed the wild boar. Under the ferocious stare of the wild boar, Qin Hong felt a chill run down his spine.

But at this moment, Qin Hong could no longer hide. As he held the pitchfork to defend himself, he urgently shouted, "It's a wild boar, run! I'll stop it!"

Among ordinary wild beasts, wild boar was famous for being good at fighting. When it saw Qin Hong, it howled and rushed towards him.

Its speed was extremely fast, and in a moment, it had already arrived in front of Qin Hong.

With his many years of hunting experience, Qin Hong used his pitchfork to suddenly attack the wild boar's eye. At the same time, he jumped to the side and dodged the two sharp fangs of the wild boar.

Because he was in too much of a hurry, Qin Hong did not manage to stab the wild boar's eye. The wild boar passed by Qin Hong and rushed down the hill.

Qin Fengming and his grandfather did not dare to delay when they heard the shout. The two of them turned around and ran back the way they came.

But the wild boar was too fast. It passed Qin Hong and rushed towards Qin Fengming and his grandfather who had not run far.

Seeing the wild boar rushing towards them, Qin Fengming's grandfather did not panic. He raised the steel fork in his hand and stabbed it into the wild boar's face. The hunters in the mountain knew that the wild boar's eyes were the weakest part of the wild boar.

Although his grandfather's trident had stabbed into the wild boar, it still did not hit its vital point.

The wild boar had suffered two attacks, and it was in great pain. At this moment, the wild boar was extremely furious. It didn't turn around, but charged towards Qin Fengming who wasn't far away.

Although Qin Fengming did not stop running, he still kept looking back. When he suddenly saw the wild boar rushing towards him, he was shocked. In his panic, his small pitchfork fell to the ground. He quickly ran backwards.

Although Qin Fengming was afraid, he did not panic. After three years of hunting, he knew how to avoid danger. When the wild boar pounced on him, he alertly jumped behind a big tree.

The wild boar had suffered two attacks and was already in a state of rage. Its only target was Qin Fengming, who did not carry a weapon.

Although Qin Fengming's physical strength was much stronger than that of his peers. However, he was only a ten-year-old child, and he was already panting.

At this moment, the wild boar once again charged at Qin Fengming. Due to the panic and the decrease in his physical strength, he was unable to dodge the wild boar's fangs this time. After being hit by the wild boar's fangs, he crashed into a large tree and rolled down the hill.
