Chapter 95 Traces of the Wild Boar

In the back mountain of Wu Xuan's family, two cars were heading towards the mountain. In addition to the hunters and a servant who was responsible for guiding the way, they also followed Tang Zhihang, who was idle and insisted on seeing wild boars hunting.

Wu Xuan was learning cooking with the chef at home. The master was a little psychologically shady about his back mountain because of the giant wolf's previous incident, so he didn't want to come. Looking at Tang Zhihang, who was sitting next to him with excitement, I think he probably wanted to find something else to do because he was a little uncomfortable yesterday, right?

I asked Tang Zhihang with some concern: "Do you think you feel uncomfortable and that's why you have to follow me?"

"No, I just wanted to see the wild boar so I followed him." Tang Zhihang smiled and said, "Don't underestimate me too much. I am not as fragile as you think. It's just that I'm having a little emotional setback. It's not that you don't know me. It's not the first time I confessed that I was rejected, but the relationship between the person I confessed this time and I was a little special. Didn't you say it yesterday? This is not the first time, nor will it be the last time. I will still have the chance to see me make such a joke in the future."

"Don't do this... I feel a little uncomfortable when you say this..." Looking at Tang Zhihang like this, it seemed like he was making fun of himself. I was wondering if the ridicule of him yesterday was a bit too much.

The car suddenly stopped, and the servant who was driving pointed to the camera in the tree not far away and said, "That is the camera that was photographed by the wild boar before. The wild boar should have appeared nearby."

"Is that so? Then start searching nearby." As he said, the hunter sitting in the passenger seat got out of the car with his equipment. He said to the people in the car behind him, "Get out and take a look around here."

After getting off the car, a group of people began to search for the grass nearby, and Tang Zhihang and I followed.

"There are feces for wild boars here." Suddenly, a man called out, and a group of people surrounded him. Sure enough, he saw a pile of feces for wild boars on the ground.

"It's still a little fresh, it should be less than two hours..." One of them actually squatted down and picked up the ball of feces and smelled it. If I had done this kind of thing, I would never dare to do it.

"Is there any water source nearby?" Another person asked the servant in charge of guiding the way: "The fixed water source can be drunk, don't tell me any water pipes, I'm talking about streams or lakes."

"If you have any stream, you will be about one hundred meters there." Looking in the direction he pointed, a group of hunters took their guns and walked towards them.

Since ancient times, human civilization has developed around water sources, and animals are no exception. Animals that can survive without water do not exist. Don’t talk about camels, try not to drink water for a year?

The wild boar must rely on water to live in this mountain, so a group of people went in the direction pointed by the servant, trying to find traces of the wild boar around the water source.

When we arrived by the stream, we were all shocked by the scene there.

Many trees around were pushed down. Those who didn't know thought that some guy named Bald Qiang came here to log wood. But the tree was not knocked down by a chainsaw or something, but was shaved off the soil at the bottom from the roots, and the entire tree was pushed down because of this. There were also many wild boar footprints around. It seemed that the guy had been staying nearby for a long time, and the ground was basically full of wild boar footprints.

Several hunters walked over and squatted down to see, then picked up something and said, "This is a peach pit, this tree is a nectarine tree. It seems that some animal pushed the tree down and then ate the nectarines on it."

"It could not be the wild boar, right?" I suddenly had a bad premonition in my heart. I am afraid that this pig is really going to become a sperm, right? In the future, it would be not fun to appear on the mountain.

"Is the wild boar so smart?" They began to wonder.

"Maybe it's really that smart?" I looked at the peach trees that were pushed down. If the wild boar was not a big eater like me, then the wild boar might have been here for a while.

A group of hunters didn't care about me anymore. In their opinion, I should be just a rich lady who was idle and wanted to see the freshness. They naturally chose to ignore what I said.

"There are traces over there, and there are also traces." Several people walked to the other side and looked at the pile of grass that was overwhelmed by something.

I squatted down and picked up a peach pit. Judging from the dryness of the peach pit, it seemed that it had only been eaten for half a day. But I ate it so clean. It seemed to be an environmentalist wild boar... No, it wasn't the time to say this.

"That wild boar is really amazing." Tang Zhihang squatted beside the tree root and said, "Look at how big the tree root is, how deep it is, the wild boar can actually dig so deep."

"Of course it's for food." I picked up another peach pit, which looked like I had finished it almost half a day ago... and continued to look at the other ones, they all looked similar. Can the wild boar be so edible?

"Did it rain yesterday?" Tang Zhihang asked me: "No, it should be said that it will always rain these days?"

"No, what's wrong?" I asked in confusion.

Tang Zhihang waved at me and signaled me to come over. I followed him and asked, "What's wrong? What did you find?"

He pointed to the soil on the roots of the tree and said, "Don't you think this soil is a little fresh? That is to say, the soil is not dry, and this tree was probably knocked down not long ago."

"Aren't you talking nonsense? Could it be that you were pushed down a month ago?"

"No, I mean...ah, I can't explain clearly." Tang Zhihang also knocked his head with some embarrassment. It seemed that yesterday's incident had a very big impact on him, and it was almost incoherent.

Tang Zhihang grabbed a handful of soil on the root of the tree, then reached out to grab the soil in the tree pit and said, "Touch it and see, how does it feel?"

I reached out to touch the two handfuls of soil and said, "The feel? What's the feeling? It's not as easy as my chest."

"Does it feel the same? I mean that... By the way, humidity." Tang Zhihang asked at me.

After hearing Tang Zhihang's words, I touched the soil again, so I nodded and replied, "Well, it feels like the same, so what?"

Tang Zhihang threw the soil away and pointed at the stream next to him and said, "This place is close to the water source, so there is sufficient water in the soil. The soil humidity on the roots is the same as the soil humidity on the ground, which means that the soil moisture on the roots has not yet been lost. You said that it has been determined that it has not rained these days. In such a hot weather in July, how long can you think that the soil without moisture replenishment remain dry when exposed to the sun?"

Listening to Tang Zhihang's reasoning, I nodded, "What do you mean is that this tree has actually been pushed down not long ago?"

"It's not just this tree, but all these trees are." Tang Zhihang took me to look at the soil on the roots of the trees around me. Without exception, they were all fresh and moist soil.

Tang Zhihang continued to say to me again: "This is just my guess. You see, those trees were pushed down by digging up the soil on the ground. In other words, the guy who pushed down these trees did not have enough strength to directly push the trees down, but needed to slowly dig the soil."

I was about to scold Tang Zhihang for saying "Just talk nonsense", but after hesitation, he still didn't scold him, because there should be a reason for Tang Zhihang to say this. I continued to listen to what he said: "But how long do you think it takes for it to dig a tree? Even if it takes a shovel and hoe, it takes a while, right? What's more, a wild boar. How long does it take for it to dig a tree before dig another tree? How many trees have fallen here?"

I looked around and saw that there were nearly a dozen nearby trees, not to mention that there were more where the hunters were standing now.

"I guess the soil on the roots of the trees there is almost in this state, which means that the pile of trees was pushed down almost at the same time. Does a wild boar have the ability to push down so many trees in such a short time?"

Looking at Tang Zhihang's serious expression, I felt increasingly uneasy. If the wild boar was really capable of pushing down so many trees in such a short time, how powerful would the wild boar be?

"I know what you are thinking about." Tang Zhihang said: "You are thinking that the wild boar can push down so many trees in such a short time, but have you ever thought that these trees were pushed down by a wild boar?"

"What's the meaning?"

Tang Zhihang pointed at the wild boar footprints on the ground again: "Do you think so many footprints may be stepped on by a wild boar? Even if it has lived here for a long time, how long does it take for a wild boar to step on with so many footprints?"

"Not to mention that these footprints are all fresh footprints that have just been stepped on." The hunters came over and seemed to have made some discoveries: "Young man is pretty good. You have no hunting experience and can actually find so many things. It seems that you are quite talented."

Tang Zhihang said puzzledly: "I am quite talented? What should I do?"

"Be a hunter." The uncle who spoke to us said, "Do you want to consider learning hunting from me?"

Tang Zhihang quickly shook his head and said, "No, I don't even dare to kill chickens at home, let alone hunting."

"Hahaha, young people nowadays, I think we often went to the water to catch fish when we were younger than you."

"I dare not fish even more. I feel disgusted when I touch the fish."

The group of hunters smiled again, pointing in one direction and said, "The footprints spread over there. I guess the wild boars are in that direction now. We want to go over and see, and you guys follow behind and be careful."

So we followed the hunters in the direction of our footprints.
