Body
Chen Zhu is a good hand at catching wild boars in our local area, his real name is Chen Zhu, born in 69. Why is it called Chen Pig, originally everyone still called him the king of wild boars, because from 1988 to 2000, he killed no less than 30 wild boars alone. However, when the ordinance prohibiting the killing of wild boars came down, within a few years, the wild boar king was called a wild boar, and finally called a Chen pig.
Behind Shimen Village in Linxiang Township is a ravine, and most of the Weibei area in Shaanxi Province is covered by this terrain. Chen Zhu often takes his hunting guys into the mountains, and it takes 2-3 days to go in. If he caught a wild boar, he would start shouting at the entrance of the village: "The Venerable Master, the Venerable Master, go into the mountains to move the pigs." The smug expression on his face is as brilliant as the peach blossoms in April, and the whole person's qi and blood seem to be gathered on the face, the face is red, and the eyes are squeezed into a slit, but the lean spirit comes out through the labor protection clothes that have been tattered by fighting with wild boars on the body, which is really a joy to see.
Of course, not every time you can harvest a lot, there are times when you return empty-handed, but he is still full of energy when he enters the village, the village head Lao Liu squatted in front of the door with a rice bowl to eat noodles and saw Chen Pig come back, not shouting or shouting, he knew that he did not catch a wild boar this time, but it was still a symbolic question "Did you find a wild boar", Chen Zhu smiled: "I found it, but I didn't catch it, it's okay I already remember it, next time I go into the mountain, I will take it down." Lao Liu said: "Then there will be absolutely no problem next time."
Chen Zhu is also a farmer, just born at the age of 6, his father died of a cerebral hemorrhage, and his mother pulled him up. He didn't read, he was a real peasant. At that time, our rural areas in Guanzhong, Shaanxi Province, were still mainly planted with wheat and corn, and there were no cash crops such as apples as they do now. Throughout the year, they live off the corn harvest. Due to the geographical location, a large part of the cultivated land in Linxiang is on the mountain, halfway up the mountain, and at the bottom of the ditch, so the production road conditions are not a problem, the road is quite open, and it is not a problem to pull the corn back from the field.
Wild boars have been in the mountains for a long time, but at that time there were not many of them, and the grain was occasionally spoiled once or twice, and the farmers had no good way to treat the wild boar, so they could only pay a little more attention. But I don't know when the number of wild boars has increased all of a sudden, and most of the villages in Lin Township have called wild boars to spoil the crops.
That year, Chen Zhu was 19 years old, her mother suddenly suffered a stroke, and there was no big problem with timely treatment, but one leg was not strong, and Chen Zhu borrowed money from the village to see his mother's doctor. At that time, there was no surplus food in the family, and the people in the village also made it up. Chen Zhu thought that as soon as the corn was harvested this year, he would sell it to the grain station to pay off part of the account. It's a big year, so I can play a little more.
The weather in August is still relatively hot, Chen Zhu got up early in the morning, went to the field to see the corn, there are many wild boars in recent years, 2 acres of corn in the next village let the wild boar spoil, he recently went to the field every few days to see. Now the corn has grown taller than people, and there are two or three plump cobs on the green stalks, and the corn tassels with a little red in the yellow look very good. Chen Zhu sang a song, looked at the corn fields of the villagers passing by, and thought to himself, this year's harvest is indeed good, maybe he can pay off the account at once. Turning the corner is the land of Chen Zhu's family, 3 acres of corn.
As soon as the bend passed, Chen Zhu stayed on the road, his hands trembled, his face was red, and the bloodshot eyes came out in an instant, and he suddenly held his breath. Chen's cornfield was ravaged by wild boars. Starting from the ground, the corn that was originally standing upright fell to the ground in a mess, the corn cob was gnawed to the remaining cores, and the corn stalks were also bitten east and west, leaving only a few small areas that were not affected. In the past, I couldn't see the end of the ground when I stood on the ground, but now I can see the end at a glance, and the few scattered pieces are even more dazzling.
Chen Zhu finally breathed up, and it was a scream that shook the mountain, so that he would not be suffocated to death by himself. Then came a bitter cry, and he threw himself into the ground, lying on the corn that had been spoiled by the wild boar, trying to find the cob intact from the remaining traces, but there was none. He got up like mad and ran from the end of the ground to the end of the ground, and then to the middle of the ground, expecting that a large piece of the boar would just be overwhelmed and not eaten. But it's almost a luxury. Finally, when the second baby in the village went to the field at almost 10 o'clock, he saw Chen Zhu kneeling in the middle of the ground, motionless, and the second baby later learned that he was like seeing a dead man being placed in the middle of the ground.
Many people may not have seen the place where wild boars have been ruined, and it is even cleaner than the harvester of today, the only difference is that the harvester breaks the corn stalk into pieces and spreads it back on the ground. After the wild boar, the ground is a large piece of blue and falls to the ground, and there is no difference in flatness, and the wild boar is half eaten and half wasted. It has been reported that 70 acres of corn fields in Sichuan were razed to the ground by wild boars overnight, and this omnivorous animal has become a nightmare for crop growers.
It was already afternoon when Chen Zhu came back to his senses, and he didn't know that the villagers had pulled him back, and when he woke up and saw his mother sitting on the edge of the bed in a daze, then he thought of the corn that had been spoiled by the wild boar, and he sighed. When the mother heard this, she saw her son wake up and wanted to say something, but the words turned into a long sigh. After an afternoon, Chen Zhu decided that he wanted to catch the wild boar, firstly, to avenge the corn, and secondly, because there was no harvest this year, he had to find a way to make some money, repay the debts and ensure his life. The idea of catching wild boars came together, and he never went down again.
I don't know how he learned to hunt, but I know that he once packed 1 bag of wheat left over from his family and pulled it to a county in the north, and he heard that there were professional hunters there, so he went to apprentice. After a while, he came back with some guys that he had never seen in the village before. When the villagers asked him if he was hiding it, they told everyone that he had indeed gone to apprenticeship, and that he had a trap, a cage net, a very thick rope, and some other small parts. There is also a 20 cm long hunting knife with a very beautiful pattern.
The weather in October is already a little cold, Chen Zhu calculates that there are less than 2 months to enter the winter, this time is the last time for the relatively frequent activities of wild boars, as soon as winter comes, wild boars will find a hole to avoid the danger of human danger in the sunny forest slope, sleep at night, enter the forest during the day to eat the pine cones, acorns, and moss on the ground to survive, and almost will not go to distant activities. So this year, with less than 2 months left, this is his last chance.
Chen Zhu entered the mountain for the first time, brought 8 corn buns, barely enough to eat for 3 days, and also brought a tent to dry grain, a large military pot, and a sawn shovel into the mountain. Five days later, when the villagers were asking if Chen Zhu had an accident, he returned. I slept at the door, and I slept for 7 hours, during which my mother screamed 3 times, but I didn't wake up. After Chen Zhu woke up, he said that he had found the trace, but the location of the trap was not placed, he spent 3 days to find the trace of the wild boar, set up the trap, put it in the place where the wild boar passed, put 3 animal traps, dug 2 pits, and waited for the arrival of the wild boar, he lay in the grass nest for nearly 2 days without sleeping. The boar had been there, but had not gone through the area where he had set the trap. He was only 10 meters away from the wild boar, and he was so impulsive that he wanted to jump up and fight the wild boar with the 20cm long hunting knife, but he held it down, he knew, let alone one person, there was no way to help the pig if five more people held it, and it might be hit by the wild boar. When he knew that there was no hope, when the boar was far away, he got up and put away the clamps, put the tent and shovel in a hay nest, and returned.
A week later, the villagers saw that Chen Pig had entered the mountain again, and said that it was so easy to catch wild boars, and this time it was estimated that they would not be able to get the hair back. But this time Chen Zhu came back for the first time to show his triumphant spirit, there was a blue piece on his face, the sleeves of his clothes were gone, and there was a blood mark on his arm, which was not deep, but the area was large enough, and he didn't care about shouting loudly: "The Venerable Master, go into the mountains and move pigs." Let the people in the village can't help but say: Chen Zhu, you are really a character, you really caught a wild boar. Chen Zhu called 8 young men from the village who were about the same age as him into the mountain, and a group of young men in their 20s felt that they were going to do something big when they stood together, pulled 2 board carts, and entered the mountain in a mighty way. When the two carts came back, Chen Zhu simply broke down the wild boar he caught with his sharp hunting knife, cleaned the internal organs by the river, and separated the pig's body directly from the waist and pulled it back on the cart.
The wild boar, which was about 340 catties, made the people in the village who lent Chen Zhu money that year eat a beautiful meal, and the rest of the Chen Pig was kept for himself, and the rest was sold in Li Township. That year, Chen Zhu had a good year.
In those years, Chen Zhu still farmed the land, but in July and August when the wild boar spoiled the peak of the grain, the Chen pig would always go into the mountain, had been caught, and was empty-handed, but every year it was clearly felt that the number of empty hands of the Chen pig became less and less, Chen Zhu seemed to be not only a farmer, he also became a hunter, so the village said that Chen Zhu was the wild boar habit to eat thoroughly, he was the king of the wild boar, and wanted to catch that head and catch that head. Everyone began to call Chen Zhu the King of Wild Boars. Chen pigs hunted like this year after year, and finally the wild boars seemed to have a sense of fear in Shimen Village, Linxiang Township, and the food was less and less, but the villages next door were still flooded with wild boars. No matter how powerful a hunter is, Chen Zhu can't control all the wild boars within a radius of dozens of miles.
So a few villages next door began to find a way to fight wild boars, the 90s slowly developed better, we can use some scientific and technological means to catch wild boars, we most commonly use the electric spear, in fact, the electric spear is not a spear, but a high-voltage motor, connected to the wire, the range is very large, preset, start, wild objects will be instantly killed by high-voltage discharge when they come into contact with the wire, because of the huge power, we give the title of electric spear. Hunting wild boars also consulted on the placement of old pigs. Chen Zhu is also often invited by them to go into the mountains together. Chen Zhu's experience and scientific and technological means are really invincible.
Humans are indeed at the top of the food chain, and even if a ferocious species has caused a lot of problems for humans, by the time humans are determined to solve the problem, the problem does not exist. In less than 8 years, wild boars have never flooded again, although there are occasional crops that are ruined, but it is really very rare compared to before, and Chen Zhu's wild boar king reputation is even more famous.
In the millennium, China has entered a new era, and the Guanzhong region does not only rely on corn and wheat for a living, the county ** introduced apple trees 3 years ago, calling on everyone to plant cash crops to increase people's income, and in a few years, fruit trees have become a scale, almost becoming the main economy of this poor county**. Chen Zhu married his daughter-in-law six years ago and also gave birth to a child. I also planted fruit trees with the village, and hunting wild boars has also become a hobby. Daughter-in-law Rong Ya didn't want him to go into the mountain, saying that now is not the time for pigs to be overflowing, no matter how good your skills are, after all, it is a dangerous thing. Chen Zhu also went in and out of his left ear and out of his right ear, and said: "I live by fighting wild boars, and if I don't learn this skill, I can't even marry you." Anyway, the guy took it and went into the mountain. Daughter-in-law Rong Ya is also worried and waits every day.
In August 2000, wild boars were added by the state to 3 protected animals and hunting is prohibited. One of the beasts that farmers hated the most was dwindled by the people, and its number decreased and became the object of protection. The people who had once hunted wild boars in the village looked at each other, and the people in the village would say when they saw Chen Zhu: King Wild Boar, the state does not allow wild boars to be hunted, and you have no extra income. Chen Zhu said expressionlessly: "If you can't fight, you can't fight, I still plant fruit trees, and I won't starve to death." Every time Rong Ya chatted with the people in the village about this, he would always pat his chest and say, "It's okay not to fight, and I'll be worried about it one day." Not being able to fight wild boars actually didn't affect the life of Chen Zhu too much, that is, every August and September, he always went to the mountains to go around, and came back to his wife and said, ** There must be traces of wild boars. Rong Ya always said, "You don't dare to hunt wild boars anymore." Chen Zhu said stupidly: "If you don't fight, you won't fight, I won't do anything illegal." ”
Organisms are always tenacious, especially the animals at the bottom of the biological class, in fact, the strongest ability to survive. Humans stopped hunting, and wild boars began to breed wildly to ensure the continuation of their race. In 2022, the number of wild boars is huge, spring arch planting, summer destruction of seedlings, autumn gnawing fruit, the contradiction between humans and pigs has increased sharply, and by 2022, farmers in many places have been extremely angry about the existence of wild boars. People in the city don't feel it, it's because you don't live next to the mountains, and you don't have the experience of having your farmland destroyed by wild boars after a hard year. Wild boars run on the roads of Nanjing, Jiangsu, and even everyone ridicules Nanjing as a city of wild boars. In Hangzhou, Zhejiang, a city where tens of millions of people live, wild boars have even run to convenience stores. You can imagine what the sparsely populated countryside looks like when wild boars are overflowing. Waste of corn fields is frequent, and farmers now not only grow corn, but also greenhouses and vegetables. This kind of cash crop, but wild boar is so flooded that this kind of crop does not harvest every year. However, wild boars are considered to have "important ecological, scientific, and social values", protected by law, and citizens are not allowed to hunt and kill, even if wild boars destroy crops and even hurt people, they can only be driven away at most, and it is illegal to hunt and kill.
When the wild boar is infested, it is finally unprotected. In June 23, the wild boar was removed from the list of three animals. Even organize hunting teams to kill. Chen Zhu, who is 54 years old, is itchy when he sees the news on TV, and he can't wait for a rocket to be launched directly into the mountains now, so that he can show his skills. He began to look for his "old fellows" who had been in the dust for many years, and the hunting knife he had polished all these years, still shiny and shining.
The daughter-in-law persuaded him not to go into the mountains, he was older, and he was no longer 19 years old when he went into the mountains alone to catch pigs, at that time his newborn calf was not afraid of tigers, and the wild boar fell into the trap pit and was caught by the beast, and he dared to jump on the back of the wild boar and stab the wild boar in the neck with his hunting knife when the wild boar was most panicked.
Chen Zhu was very unconvinced in his heart, saying that he was afraid of the young man and that he was afraid of the old man, so he would clean up his things. But people had to obey the old, and he still called 7 people in the village to join him. They took advantage of the sale of apples, and it was the idle time of the farm, and they took traditional animal traps, cage nets, and modern electric spears and entered the mountains.
A good hunter is not about being able to fight wild beasts, but about finding traces and using tools. Chen Zhu is an excellent hunter, and Chen Zhu relied on his rich experience to quickly find the traces of wild boars. After observing for half a day, he determined the range of the wild boar, demarcated the area, and began to install traps and electric spears. When it was almost dark that afternoon, several of them noticed that the wild boar had entered the ambush site. Chen Zhu decisively let the electric spear be turned on. Then start a chase with a few villagers in order to drive the boar into the range of the final electric spear and trap.
Chen Zhu roared, the first to bear the brunt, the wild boar received the scream and turned his head to run, the other few held gongs in their hands, loudspeakers, made all kinds of noise, and outflanked the surroundings in case the wild boar did not run to the predetermined position. Immediately reached the predetermined range, as long as the wild boar ran straight forward, it entered the mouth circle of the electric spear buried line, but the wild boar suddenly turned around slightly, rubbed the outer circle of the electric spear line and ran, Chen Zhu was anxious, and went straight to the side of the wild boar to catch up, and the speed that burst out at that moment pulled several other young people a lot. But he didn't notice that he had already run out of the "battle formation" of several of them. The noise of the wild boars driving away from the surrounding area is also getting farther and farther away. In order to drive the boar to the burying area, he deviated a little to the side of the boar. But he was wrong about this, and the boar suddenly turned around and came to him. Only then did he realize that he was out of formation, and the wild boar was only a few seconds away from hitting him, and his teammates couldn't catch up at all. The only thing he can do now is run, attacking and defending the alien in an instant. Cold sweat broke out, and then he found that he was old, and after a moment of excitement just now, the strength of his body seemed to be drained, his legs seemed to be filled with lead, and his arms could not swing, in this case he became more and more flustered, so that he forgot the skill of hunting for decades, but at this juncture, it seemed that no skill could be used at this time. He panicked and ran, turning his head to see the boar getting closer and closer to him, not noticing that he was running in the direction of the preset electric spear.
When it was dark, the street lights in the village had just been lit, and a group of people pulled a cart out of the village on the road into the mountain, and the people in the village saw that it was a team that went into the mountain to fight wild boars, and they all saw a wild boar on the car, and they all said: "This wild boar king is not a wild boar king, ginger is still old and spicy, and there will be a harvest when you go out of the mountain." "They didn't see a charred man curled up at the back of the cart, where it was blocked by the boar's body.
Three days later, rumors came out of the streets of the village.
The dismal sound of suona fluttered in the sky above Shimen Village for a long time.
