Era: Starting with the struggle to refuse being taken advantage of

Chapter 147 A 300-Jin Wild Boar
It has to be said that wild boars are incredibly resilient; Wang Chengpeng chased them for more than half an hour.

As the sun rose from the horizon and a ray of dawn pierced the sky, the wild boar, which had been running slower and slower, finally gave in and collapsed.

Judging from its whimpering on the ground, it was clear that it was not long for this world.

Wang Chengpeng, however, did not let his guard down at all. A cornered beast will fight back. Wild boars are more dangerous in this state, as they often still have the strength to launch a fatal attack.

After the wild boar stopped breathing completely, Wang Chengpeng waited a few more minutes and then stabbed it in the neck again before finally letting out a sigh of relief.

Although it took a lot of effort today, it was definitely worth it just for the wild boar meat.

After hesitating for a moment, disregarding the filth on the wild boar, Wang Chengpeng dragged the boar toward his own homestead.

Wild boar is, after all, game, and its price is not low, often selling for a dollar per kilogram. We can't leave it here and let nature benefit from it.

After running all night and carrying the wild boar for so long, Wang Chengpeng was already panting heavily when he returned.

Just as he was about to take a break, he noticed that Xiao Hei was biting his trouser leg, as if preparing to take him somewhere.

After hesitating for a moment, Wang Chengpeng decided to follow.

Now that he had decided to get a dog, he naturally wanted to give the little guy a certain amount of trust.

After walking for another ten minutes or so, until Xiao Hei was panting heavily, the man and the dog had reached their destination.

In the grass ahead, three little wild boars were huddled together for warmth, shivering and looking very appetizing.

Unexpectedly, there was this great deal of "buy one get three free". Wang Chengpeng walked over and scooped up the three little wild boars in his arms.

They struggled desperately, but could not break free from Wang Chengpeng's hands, and could only cry out helplessly.

After tying the baby wild boar to one side with three hemp ropes, Wang Chengpeng was finally able to rest for a while.

Smelling the unpleasant odor of pig's blood mixed with mud on my body, and feeling the sticky clothes completely soaked with sweat...

Wang Chengpeng thought for a moment and decided to take a bath in the nearby stream, as he felt really uncomfortable in this state.

At that very moment, Wang Chengpeng heard a gasp:
"Son, are you alright? Answer me quickly."

It's no wonder Wang Tieshan was so panicked; before he even reached his own homestead, he smelled a strong stench of blood.

Concerned for Wang Chengpeng, he couldn't hold back any longer and rushed in immediately, disregarding his own safety.

"Dad, I'm here."

"Don't worry, nothing can happen to me, I'm perfectly safe!"

After loudly announcing that he was safe, Wang Chengpeng turned around and saw Wang Tieshan looking anxious.

Ignoring the dirt on Wang Chengpeng's body, he immediately pulled Wang Chengpeng around and looked him over.

Looking left and right, Wang Tieshan finally breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Wang Chengpeng was truly alright, and said:
"Son, how did you get yourself into this state?"

"Where did the blood come from? Are you injured somewhere that I can't see?"

Pointing to the wild boar carcass on the ground, Wang Chengpeng calmly said:

“This isn’t my blood, it’s all this wild boar’s blood.”

"This wild boar is courting death, daring to invade my territory. Now it's going to get itself killed."

"Dad, find an oxcart and take this wild boar to town to sell it. You'll get at least a hundred or two hundred yuan."

Wild boar, though a rare delicacy, has a very strong odor because it wasn't castrated from a young age, requiring a lot of seasoning to mask. Keeping a piece or two to enjoy is fine, but keeping the whole thing is completely unnecessary.

Wang Tieshan only noticed the huge creature lying on the ground after Wang Chengpeng reminded him. Judging by its size, it must have weighed at least 300 pounds.

This was a fully grown wild boar, a wild boar that dared to challenge tigers, yet it lay here like a dead boar, giving Wang Tieshan a somewhat unreal feeling.

If he hadn't repeatedly confirmed that Wang Chengpeng was indeed unharmed and that there was no one else around, he would have found it hard to believe that his son was so brave.

With a sigh, Wang Tieshan said, "Son, this wild boar we hunted must belong to the collective."

"Although we can get a bigger share of the meat, we certainly can't have it all to ourselves."

Upon hearing Wang Tieshan's words, Wang Chengpeng's expression immediately fell. It turned out that all his hard work had been for the benefit of the village.

This feeling... is hard to describe.

The commotion from hunting wild boars was so great that he couldn't hide it no matter how hard he tried.

Undeterred, Wang Chengpeng pointed again to the tied-up wild boar piglet and said:
"Can we sell these piglets?"

After hesitating for a moment, Wang Tieshan finally nodded and said:
"If you're careful, everything should be fine."

“After all, you weren’t using the village’s guns, and it wasn’t a group hunt, so it’s understandable that you didn’t catch any wild boar piglets.”

Wang Tieshan was completely corrupted by Wang Chengpeng. If it were before, he would never have agreed to such a thing that harmed the public interest for personal gain.

The shotgun was borrowed from Xie Feiyue, the bullets were bought by himself, and even the kitchen knife was chipped and dulled.

Looking at Wang Chengpeng's disheveled appearance, if they didn't take any benefits, they would end up having to share the spoils with everyone else. Even the honest Wang Tieshan felt that this was somewhat unjust.

Seeing that his father agreed, Wang Chengpeng finally breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that he hadn't lost too much this time.

Don't let their small size fool you, these wild boar piglets are quite expensive, costing at least twenty yuan each.

Even if he was in a hurry to sell, he could sell three for fifty yuan each, so Wang Chengpeng could be considered to have made a big profit.

With a quick glance, Wang Chengpeng had an idea.

If handled properly, handing over the wild boar might not be a bad thing; it could even bring a huge benefit to oneself.

Thinking this way, Wang Chengpeng's mood improved considerably, and he said:

"Dad, hurry up and ride your bicycle to town to sell these three wild boar piglets. Be careful not to let anyone find out."

"As for the wild boar, I'll report it to the village myself when you get back."

The weather isn't hot right now, so leaving the wild boar there won't cause any problems for a while. There's no need to rush.

After hesitating for a moment, Wang Tieshan ultimately said nothing and, following Wang Chengpeng's advice, took the three wild boar piglets to town.

The money I earned was my son's hard-earned money, not some money earned through dishonest means.

As for Wang Chengpeng? He was going to take a shower as originally planned.

After quickly tidying himself up, he was finally ready to go to the village and properly report his good fortune in hunting a 300-pound wild boar.

I'd also like to take this opportunity to advocate for my right to enjoy my legitimate rights.
