For safety, the village committee unanimously agreed that having public officers present would set everyone’s minds at ease!
The entire village supported this resolution unanimously; they were even willing to provide money.
Especially after they had roughly counted and confirmed the number of Wild Wolf packs! They wished they could offer fine wine and meat to these esteemed public security officers.
Every time it was deep in the night around 1 or 2 am, when people were most tired, the Wild Wolves would linger and roam outside the defense perimeter, a calculating person noticed that there were at least thirteen pairs of green eyes!
My goodness— some daring village women and children went to see for themselves, only to return terrified, unsettled for days and nights!
This can be said to be a rather large number of wolves!
It absolutely terrified the timid women and children in the village, who no longer dared to harbor any luck, and seriously participated in the construction of defenses.
All that can be said is thankfully the Wild Wolves came during the farming off-season; otherwise, this chaos would really be the death of the old farmers.
In the blink of an eye, time quietly passed, and now it had entered December of the solar calendar, and the temperature suddenly dropped by two degrees, only about eleven or twelve degrees.
This is already the fifth day since the discovery of the Wild Wolf attacks, Yan Jinsu today selected the relatively young and brave villagers for a trial, such as Xie Jingbin, Zhou Guoqing, Zhou Weimin, and Xie Yuting, whom the villagers tacitly regarded as ’fearless’ young people.
Moreover, Zhou Weihai, not feeling reassured, also followed, with four armed public security officers behind him.
"Attention!" Yan Jinsu suddenly spoke up, directing Zhou Guoqing to climb up a big tree to look out and observe, instructing Zhou Weimin and Xie Yuting to spread out to the left and right.
Then, she sent Xie Jingbin forward, and he walked in the middle, armed only with a slingshot.
"Jingbin, remember, your task is not to act the hero and sacrifice yourself, but to lead as the vanguard! You just need to use the slingshot in your hands to scatter the prey, and ideally, lure only one prey into between Weimin and Yuting, understand?"
"Understood." Xie Jingbin nodded, his tone slightly weak, clearly both excited and nervous.
"Everyone remember, even if you are the underdogs, you are humans, with intelligence, and you understand what it means to be ’united and progressive’! Pay attention to cooperation, no shouting or screaming! You only get one chance!"
After saying this, Yan Jinsu had the several public security officers retreat to a higher slope, towards Xie Jingbin’s location, and blew a loud whistle.
Hearing Yan Jinsu’s command, Xie Jingbin took a deep breath and slowly approached what was ahead.
Before Yan Jinsu assigned tasks, they had already scrutinized the terrain ahead under her direction and had clearly investigated how many prey were there.
This was a hollow in the ground, and they did not know what animal had dug a small hole about thirty square meters in size and three meters high.
Now the weather was fully bright, and the situation inside the hole was very clear.
This was a nest of wild boars.
The wild boars were two adult large boars, one male and one female, both weighing around two to three hundred pounds, and they looked especially robust and well-fed.
The semi-grown wild piglets were not few, there were three of them, each weighing around a hundred pounds.
Now, the family was widely dispersed, with the boar sniffing around possibly because it had sensed a strange scent in the air.
Zhou Guoqing was anxious, if not for seeing the three friends below the tree coordinating too well, he really wanted to shout: Stop, let me do it!
Obviously, having acted foolishly once, almost costing all good brothers their lives, Zhou Guoqing became much more steady.
Only when he saw the boar gasping for breath, under Xie Jingbin’s signal, did he carefully slide down the trunk, ensuring the wild boar wouldn’t turn back within two minutes, swiftly took out two sharp daggers Yan Jinsu gave him, fixing them onto a small pit they had dug in advance.
Even the distance between the two daggers had been measured by them, all the details had been considered before implementing the plan.
A gentle "sigh" sounded in front, Zhou Guoqing heard it and knew it was Brother Ting signaling him, the time was right!
Believing he had secured everything properly, Zhou Guoqing, making sure it was safe, agilely climbed back up the tree.
Zhou Weihai, seeing his son move like a monkey, was torn between laughter and tears.
But seeing the village children actually playing a three hundred pound boar at their fingertips, he was proud!
Even the four policemen beside him gave him a thumbs up, the children were fantastic!
In this group of four children, Zhou Guoqing was the youngest.
The eldest, Xie Jingbin, only twenty years old, being the youngest of the seven branches, always well protected by his older brother akin to a father, managing to accomplish this, Zhou Weihai was truly very pleased!
Particularly Zhou Weimin, his wits and reactions, also made Zhou Weihai extremely delighted. Zhou Weimin, being over thirty years older than little Zhou Weihai, meant the two, although contemporaries, didn’t interact much, so Zhou Weihai was thrilled to see his clan brother succeed.
Just as Zhou Weihai was rejoicing for his clan brother, he saw his son, bold as if he had eaten bear gall, suddenly leap down the tree, drawing the boar’s attention, and though utterly exhausted, it counterattacked as if on its last breath, charging straight at Zhou Guoqing—
