Returning to hometown to farm: The apocalypse system arrived ten years earlier?

Chapter 78 Encounter (Seeking first order, monthly ticket)
Although grandma had confidence in Li Xiang, she was still worried. Before he left, she repeatedly told him to be careful.

Jiang Caier and her mother also came to see her father off and waved in the crowd.

Li Yucheng's family members came, of course, but unfortunately they were all old, weak, women and children, so few could participate.

Erhuang chased for a long distance, but finally, amid Li Xiang's scolding, he went home shaking his head and wagging his tail.

After all, Erhuang was used to guarding the house, and he only knew how to fight hard and not let the opponent invade even a step. Unlike the dog in Li Yucheng's family, after all, Li Yucheng took him into the mountains to train several times.

"This snow is endless!" Jiang Jianguo complained. The snow and wind affected the flight of the drone. Fortunately, there is no thunder in winter, otherwise it would be struck by lightning.

The group braved the wind and snow, crossed the mountains and ridges, and to be honest, except for Li Xiang, the other two people and three dogs were a bit tired. The dogs also had to pull the sled, and even occasionally, when they couldn't go up, Jiang Jianguo and Li Yucheng would come to help.

Li Xiang estimated in his mind that the snowstorm would last about ten days, and the sky would clear up a few days before Christmas.

During these twenty days or so, there were occasional sunny days, but they were very short-lived, with rain and rain on and off.

In fact, due to different regions, the snowstorm in many places has ended long ago, such as Singapore. After all, its geographical location is close to the equator, so the heavy snow only lasts for two or three days, and then within five days, the ice and snow will all melt, leaving no trace.

As for the northern regions, people already have heating and are used to hibernating, so it doesn't matter. Perhaps the only regret is that there are almost no southern kids coming to the north to see the snow this year.

The south has snow already, so who would go to the north? Besides, transportation is not convenient now. Although the railway and some highways have been opened, the speed of high-speed rail has been reduced for safety reasons.

"Uncle Yucheng, Uncle Jiang, why don't we find a place sheltered from the wind to rest, eat something, and replenish our energy." Li Xiang suggested.

Jiang Jianguo and Li Yucheng quickly agreed. They were very excited and motivated when they set out, but after walking for so long, Li Yucheng, in particular, was already exhausted.

So, the three of them chose a hillside that was sheltered from the wind. Li Yucheng dug a snow pit with a shovel, and piled the excavated snow at the back to serve as a buttress. Everyone sat down and ate self-heating rice.

Jiang Jianguo and Li Yucheng had never eaten such "high-end" food before, so Li Xiang taught them which was the rice pack, which was the vegetable pack, which was the heating pack, how to add water and where to add it... Soon it was steaming hot and full of fragrance.

Being able to eat hot meals in the snow is a kind of happiness.

Everyone had the same braised pork ribs rice. The ribs were quite fragrant and spicy, but the rice was a little lacking in texture.

Li Yucheng smacked his lips and muttered, "Why do I feel like there's something wrong with this rice?"

Li Xiang smiled and said, "These are all convenience foods, so the requirements cannot be too high. The rice in them is indeed different from the rice we eat at home. Look at the ingredient list, the main ingredient is starch. This rice is processed and modified into 'cooked rice'. The rice is crushed, starch is added, and then squeezed and cooked, and then 'reorganized' into rice grains. Otherwise, it would take half an hour to cook porridge at home, but now we can eat it in five minutes. It's not that fast."

"Oh, I see." Li Yucheng smiled and said, "I've never eaten it before. I'm not used to it the first time I eat it. But it smells really good."

Of course, there is also natural rice in the self-heating rice, but Li Xiang and his friends just picked it up that day and didn't buy it. Even if it is natural rice, it is pre-made, and the taste is naturally not as good as the rice at home.

Li Xiang turned on the "mutant identification function" along the way, but did not find any mutated creatures, probably because he had already searched the mountainous area here.

The place they were walking in was the area where he used to pick mushrooms. One or two kilometers ahead, they would enter the "deep mountains".

The previous "mutant biological identification function" was redeemed in late October when digging Polygonatum sibiricum in the Frost Descent. It has expired long ago. He did not rush to redeem it before, but just opened it this morning. One day later, the validity period will be moved back one day. You have to be prudent.

He felt that the "monthly subscription function" of this system was a bit too much, making it like some disgusting apps. Most likely, when he was "scanning the earth's technology" and "absorbing all rivers", he was led astray by these apps on the earth.

Either its creator had experienced this era on Earth and suffered greatly from it, so he had a bad taste in his mouth.

Jiang Jianguo was very dedicated. He was still controlling the drone while eating. Suddenly, he screamed, "There's a wild boar!"

"Where? Where?" Li Xiang and Li Yucheng hurried over to ask.

"Look, they are migrating about two or three kilometers away from us. Judging from the direction, they are likely to invade Lijia Village."

"Luckily we came and blocked them on the road. We couldn't let them enter the village."

All three were very glad.

Jiang Jianguo adjusted the height and camera angle of the drone, and everyone could see more clearly that there were ten wild boars in total, probably one male, three females and six cubs.

The boar looked to be at least 40 kilograms, the three sows were about 100 kilograms, and the six piglets weighed between and kilograms. They were a little stronger than the group that invaded Leijiagou.

A 400-jin boar is considered a very strong wild boar, because an adult Siberian tiger in the zoo weighs only about 400 jin.

Li Xiang weighs only 160 kg. Li Yucheng is older and weighed 160 kg when he was young, but now weighs only 130 kg. Jiang Jianguo weighs about 140 catties. In other words, the combined weight of the three of them is about the same as that wild boar.

"Hello everyone, I am Li Xiang, a pastoral blogger. I recently participated in the 2024 'National Wild Boar Hunting' bounty hunter operation hosted by the Provincial Forestry and Grassland Bureau. Now, we have discovered a large group of wild boars in the drone..." Li Xiang turned on the camera on his forehead, connected it to his mobile phone, and started the live broadcast mode.

Soon, many people came into the live broadcast room and it became lively.

Jiang Jianguo and Li Yucheng don't like being on camera. Whenever Li Xiang looked at them, they turned away, feeling quite uncomfortable.

As for Li Xiang himself, well, the camera above his head couldn't capture him. Even if it did, he was already used to being a self-media person.

Fans offered suggestions one after another, but Li Xiang and the other two didn't have much time to pay attention to them as they were busy discussing strategies.

Li Yucheng suggested setting a trap in the direction of the wild boar's advance, with six hunting traps buried on the road along which the wild boar would pass.

How to place, how to hide, how to ensure that the wild boar has a high probability of stepping on it, all require a lot of experience. Li Yucheng is an old hunter and is familiar with this aspect, so he was handed over to him.

The three men left their baggage behind and traveled light.

As for the location of the ambush, Li Yucheng had already thought of it. He was an old hunter and had patrolled the mountains all year round when he was young. He was very familiar with this area. He quickly led Li Xiang and the others to their destination, which was a valley.

Li Yucheng began to set traps, while Jiang Jianguo operated the drone and continued to closely monitor the movements of the wild boar. At this moment, the wild boar was only 600 to 700 meters away from them, just one hilltop away, and would soon arrive. Li Xiang took the hunting net and searched the edge. He saw a valley a few dozen meters away, about two meters in radius, with several large trees around it. So he used the net to wrap around the trees, tied them up on each tree, and set up a temporary "pig guard".

Fishermen all know that there is a "fish guard", ours is a "pig guard". "Pig guard" opens an opening, that is, "invite pigs into the guard".

Ten wild boars, caught alive, must be locked up first. The big iron cage was on the previous sled and was not brought here. Even if it was brought here, it would not be able to transport all of them at once. The iron cage on their empty sled can only hold three adult wild boars, or two adult wild boars and two or three cubs.

"It seems that we didn't prepare enough things before." In fact, Li Xiang was also helpless because there were not enough people.

Although his system space can be used, it is not convenient to use. Secondly, the wild boar will definitely die after being put in, and the bonus will be reduced by half. The recycling price of a live pig is twice that of a dead pig.

The hunting net is one and a half meters high, plus the depth of the valley. After Li Xiang quickly dug out the snow inside, it was one and a half meters deep, and almost three meters high in total. The wild boar should not be able to jump out.

More and more fans came into the live broadcast room. Today happened to be the weekend and many people were not at work, so they watched Li Xiang catch wild boars early in the morning.

He Zhixiang also came and took a look. He thought that Li Xiang and the others did a good job and seemed to be quite experienced. So he was so happy that he bought several gifts with a total value of about 10,000 yuan.

This swipe immediately attracted the "Auntie No. 1" and immediately swipe gifts that surpassed He Zhixiang, about 20,000. He also sent an emoticon package of the "lighting the sky lantern" gesture.

Most people don’t know what this emoticon means, but He Zhixiang understands it. He thinks to himself, a good man doesn’t fight with a woman. You can do whatever you want, and I just need to do my best.

At the same time, he was very curious about this "number one aunt". Who was she? Should he find someone to check her out? But when he thought that she might want to support Li Xiang, he gave up. He couldn't ruin his brother's good deeds.

However, after looking at the profile picture of "Ranking No. 1 Auntie", He Zhixiang secretly mourned for Li Xiang. Although the rich woman is nice, she is old and ugly.

In fact, even if he asked someone to check, he would not find anything. The ID card used to register Luo Feifei's account was indeed that of an old lady, an old nanny hired by her family. She had worked in the Luo family for many years, and the Luo family was willing to provide her with old-age care.

Li Xiang ignored the live broadcast room and had no time to take care of it.

He set the "Pull in for protection" setting, and Jiang Jianguo sent a reminder: "Oh no, the wild boar turned and it's a little bit off the direction of our ambush."

Li Yucheng said, "It's okay, I'll take the dog to drive it away." Hunting is something that is never 100% predictable. It can still be corrected.

Li Xiang said, "I'll go too."

Because Jiang Jianguo had a laptop and needed to control a drone for close surveillance, he found a relatively secluded place to hide.

Li Xiang used the "Bright Pearl Darkening" technique to restrain his aura and went around from behind. When he approached the wild boar, the wild boar did not even notice him.

When we were about ten meters away from the wild boar, the system began to prompt: "One fourth-order mutant black-maned white-fanged beast and one third-order mutant black-maned white-fanged beast were found."

Li Xiang thought that the fourth-level one was most likely the boar, and the third-level one was most likely one of the sows.

He took out his high-density knife, suddenly jumped out, and his tongue burst into spring thunder. The wild boars were frightened and ran in the direction Li Xiang expected. During this process, Li Xiang kept changing his position and making "trajectory corrections", and Li Yucheng also came with three hunting dogs to help.

Soon, the group of wild boars rushed towards the place where the traps were set.

The trap was buried in the shallow layer of snow. A sow and her four piglets stepped on the trap and screamed miserably, and then they could no longer run.

"Beautiful!" Li Xiang gave a thumbs up and thought that Uncle Yucheng was great, the placement of the items was very particular, with only one hunting trap left empty.

With lightning speed, he drove the escaped boar, two sows and two piglets in the direction of "Please bring pigs in for protection".

Li Yucheng and his three dogs ignored the five wild boars that were hit, but cooperated with Li Xiang to drive the remaining five wild boars into Li Xiang's "pig guard".

The boar was very smart. When it came in front of the pig guard, it wanted to go around it. But when it saw Li Xiang, a two-legged beast, blocking its side, it grunted, its eyes turned red, and it rushed towards Li Xiang violently.

In the camera, the wild boar looks ferocious and oppressive.

This kind of single-soldier combat photography helmet is really good, and the effect is very good. However, sometimes when Li Xiang moves too fast, the picture will be blurry. But now, Li Xiang stood there with a knife in his hand, standing still.

The live broadcast room was boiling with excitement, and many people stood up nervously and excitedly.

They watched the video before, but it was after the fact, so they didn’t feel much. It was not as exciting as the live broadcast!

Even Luo Feifei sat up straight. She was originally lying on the big sofa in the mansion, lazily enjoying the heating and eating delicious snacks, but now she became energetic and stared at the big screen.

Well, I wasn’t watching it on my phone, but connected to the 8K high-definition 150-inch full-screen LCD TV in the living room.

She was a little suspicious. Ever since she had those strange dreams, she felt that she was not afraid of blood, but she liked it very much.

"The hunting time has come! Brother Xiang, if you behave well, I will let you experience the freedom of the carnival today!" Luo Feifei couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth into a charming smile.

Her mother came down from upstairs and shook her head when she saw this scene. This daughter's hobbies are getting weirder and weirder. Whose little fairy likes to watch people killing wild boars?

It must be kept secret, otherwise if it gets out, her fans will drop out. Luo Feifei is now a popular actress, extremely popular, and has a lot of resources.

"A fourth-order mutant black-maned and white-fanged beast!"

Facing the ferocious wild boar charging towards him, Li Xiang knew that this boar was the achievement points and the mutated elixir, so "this beast must not be kept alive". Although the price of a live pig is high, achievement points and elixir cannot be bought with money.

Only by killing it yourself can you get system rewards.

So, taking advantage of the moment when the wild boar came over, he flashed to the side, and swung the Gaomi knife in his hand fiercely. With a flash of cold light, bright red blood splattered like a rain curtain, and the wild boar was beheaded with one knife!
