The voice on the intercom continued: "Is that pig's blood on you? Are you okay? This looks really scary... Someone come and lift the pig up, it must weigh at least 200 catties! And get two strong guys to help Director Qin up."
Jian Junzhan held the walkie-talkie and commanded, "Xiao Zhu, report your location. All teams, gather around Xiao Zhu!"
He then turned to Master Liu, who was rubbing his eyes, and said, "Old Liu, Xiao Qin has prepared some meat. Get a few young men to help you out. Let's have a gathering tonight; it's been a long day for so many people."
Master Liu repeatedly agreed, "Okay, okay!"
When the whole team descended the mountain, the sky was already filled with stars.
The team returned to the government courtyard, and it was almost 11 o'clock at night.
Fortunately, there were many people, some were plucking pig hair, and some were helping to build a big fire.
The young man with the faded pig hair asked, "Why does this pig have one less leg?"
Another person replied, "It was cut off by Director Qin and roasted for eating..."
"Director Qin is amazing, he managed to kill such a big wild boar with a short knife. Look at all the holes in the boar's head and body," someone said.
"Qiu Yuanyuan wanted to visit Qin Chizian but was stopped by Gao Jiajia: 'He's too tired and already asleep. Whatever you have to say, you can say it tomorrow.'"
The next day, Qin Chizian woke up from a deep sleep and found two people sitting in the room, one was Gao Jiajia, and the other was Qiu Yuanyuan.
Qiu Yuanyuan: "Tai... brother Qin, I'm sorry, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't have..."
Her military uniform has been changed, and she is now wearing an elegant dress with a pair of white sneakers.
Qin Chizian teased her with a smile: "You look good like this, and you speak well. It's like you've changed into a different person from yesterday's serious look... You guys go out, I have nothing to do. It's time to get dressed."
Qin Chizian wolfed down his food, and Master Liu asked, "Didn't you eat a whole roasted pig leg yesterday?"
Without looking up, Qin Chizian replied, "Uncle, that meat had no salt at all. Try eating it for a day! It's not as tasty as the pickled vegetable congee you make. By the way, how is my aunt doing?"
Master Liu is very happy: "The surgery was done yesterday, and the doctor said it was very successful. My daughter is over there accompanying me. I just need to rest for a while longer before I can be discharged."
What is meant by "life and death in an instant," Qin Chizian truly experienced it.
Being chased by wild boars, Qin Chizian ran with all his might, but the "whooshing" sound behind him was getting closer and closer.
Feeling the deep roar right behind him, he suddenly dodged, and a huge black shadow brushed past his body. Looking back, he saw three not-so-big juvenile wild boars.
These little guys didn't attack, but stood there curiously staring at him.
But their dad or mom was not happy, turned back and rushed over, with long fangs as if they wanted to tear him apart in one go.
Qin Chizian Touching the gun at his waist, trembling as he opens the safety, he aims at the approaching dark figure and pulls the trigger.
The gun goes off, the wild boar hesitates for a moment, it seems like he didn't hit it, and the beast charges again.
Qin Chizian remained calm and fired at the wild boar's head once again.
"Bang", "Bang", "Bang"! Three shots in a row, at least one should have hit, he saw blood spurt from the wild boar's head.
Qin Chizian rolled with all his might to one side, finally avoiding the impact like that of a locomotive. The wild boar's momentum did not diminish, and it continued forward until it collided with a large tree, causing a "thud" as many leaves shook loose and fell down.
Qin Chizian knew that there were only two bullets left in the small handgun in his hand. If he couldn't deliver a fatal blow to the adult wild boar, he would probably be left here.
He raised the gun again to aim at the wild boar that had hit the tree, but this time it didn't turn around. Instead, it lay under the tree, making "humming" sounds, lacking its previous momentum. Several piglets were also scared by the gunshot and didn't know where to run.
Qin Chizian Having the courage to go over, I saw a hole in the head of the wild boar, blood gushing out, and its breath getting weaker and weaker.
It's okay!
Then we have to work hard to survive.
This pig is so big, I can't move it by myself, and I can't bear to leave it here.
What should we do?
Qin Chizian brought some dry branches, lit a fire, watched the flames rise, and then covered them with damp branches and leaves, finally producing thick smoke.
Qin Chizian Praying that someone can see through this smoke and find their way here.
Yes, there's also another issue that needs to be addressed as soon as possible...

After resting for two days, Qiu Yuanyuan asked Qin Chizian to take her to Bull's Horn Mountain twice. The first time, they went with a machete to cut vines. They worked for most of the day, and Qin Chizian cut more than 70 catties. He carried it down from the mountain, sweating all over. Qiu Yuanyuan was even worse off. She cut less than 30 catties, and her hands were already covered in blisters. She struggled to carry it down from the mountain and could barely stand.
Foraging for wild vegetables was a bit easier, but after running around most of the mountain, not much had been gathered.
Having experienced this way of life, Qin Chizian took him to Baliushu Central Primary School. The school building was still from the 1980s; it couldn't be said to be falling apart, but the conditions were indeed quite poor. There was only one basketball hoop left, and what was called a playground was merely a patch of bare yellow earth. Whenever the children played, dust would rise into the air.
There isn't even glass on the classroom windows, and the principal mentioned that the roof is leaking.
Qiu Yuanyuan asked Qin Chizian: "Why not fix it?"
Qin Chizian: "The villagers have no money, the village has no money, and the little money from the county isn't available right now."
Qiu Yuanyuan: "Aren't you making any money selling rattan weaving and wild vegetables?"
"We only started last year, and it's just been a little over a year now. How much can we earn?
You've seen the road we came on, right? It's almost like a washboard, and there's no money to fix it. From Baliushu onward, there's the National Route 107. Although the actual distance is only 13 kilometers, because of the Hunjiang River in between, the county can't afford to build a decent bridge. To get to National Route 107 or to the neighboring Wendong County, we have to take a detour of nearly 100 kilometers, which seriously restricts Wenyuan's economic development and makes it inconvenient for the people to travel."
A few days ago, you also saw Bull's Horn Mountain. The water in the pond halfway up the mountain ripples with a clear blue hue, and the peaks on the mountain are steep and perilous! Once the road is opened, the value of the tourism resources will be highlighted countless times. At that time, whether it's development or investment attraction, it will be much more effective." Qin Chizian introduced to Qiu Yuanyuan.
Qiu Yuanyuan's excitement surged again: "First, take me to see that Hunjiang River, and tomorrow take me into the mountains again. Don't worry, I definitely won't cause you any trouble this time!"
Qin Chizian silently helped her into the car and stepped on the gas, heading east.
The two of them stood by the Hunjiang River. Qin Chizian gave a cigarette to the old man casting nets by the river. The old man opened up and said, "There is only a simple stone bridge over the Hunjiang River. Not to mention large vehicles, even small ones can barely cross during the dry season. Once the rainy season comes, the water will cover the bridge deck. The transportation and water conservancy departments of Wenyuan County have come to survey it, saying that a big bridge can be built, with a budget of over two million... But after all these years, there has been no progress."
"Learning from Qin Chizian's way of addressing, 'Um... sir, are there any cases of people drowning here because they were in a hurry to cross the river?'
'Of course there are! Just last year, the water was too high. A family had a child with a fever and was rushing to the hospital in Wendong County across the river. Who would have thought that their boat would capsize in the middle of the river? The adults barely managed to swim out, but the child... the child's mother went mad. Even now, during this time every year, she still comes to burn paper offerings... Look, isn't that her coming right now?'"
Qin Chizian and Qiu Yuanyuan turned their heads and saw a woman in her thirties wearing black clothes and pants, carrying a bamboo basket. She was muttering, "My dear child, mother has brought money and delicious food for you..." The despair in her voice was bone-chilling to hear.
Qiu Yuanyuan muttered under her breath, "So pitiful!"

Back at the town government, Qiu Yuanyuan went straight to her room without eating.
Gao Jiajia called him to have a meal, and she opened the door to let Gao Jiajia in, with tears on her face.
Gao Jiajia was shocked: "Yuanyuan sister, what's wrong with you?"
Qiu Yuanyuan covered her face and said, "It's nothing, I just miss my mom... come in quickly."
Gao Jiajia: "Yuanyuan sister, tell me, did Director Qin bully you? If he did, I'll go talk to him!"
Qiu Yuanyuan grabbed Gao Jiajia and said, "Jiajia, I'm really fine, I just miss home. We agreed to climb Bull's Horn Mountain again tomorrow, remember?"
Gao Jiajia was surprised, "Whose idea was it for you two to forget about the last time when something went wrong just a few days ago?"
Qiu Yuanyuan hurriedly defended Qin Chizian: "It was my idea to go, but this time I promise to follow his arrangements, going up and coming down on the same day!"
