Since the plan was decided, it was not too late. Accompanied by Osaki Kyuji and Tsuda Hirozo, Masaru gathered 11 people with bows and arrows, and then led by Shinzo and three other old hunters, he entered the woods southwest of Notaka Village.

This is Zhengliang's first time entering this area. When he walked along the road, he saw some low bushes or weeds. Zhengliang carefully paid attention to the surrounding soil. Since the fallen leaves accumulate year by year and gradually mix with the soil, the land here is still relatively fertile and it is not difficult to reclaim. With just a fire, these bushes and weeds can be basically processed, and then reclaimed. In addition, there are several small streams along the road, so it can be transformed into paddy fields. Zhengliang secretly decided that after solving the wild boars, this place will be the focus of future reclaim.

After walking deep into the woods for nearly half an hour, the surrounding trees began to gradually change from shrubs to trees, but the trees were not old enough, so you could clean them up if you spend a little effort. When there is enough manpower, you can also consider organizing leaders to carry out reclamation.

After walking intermittently for nearly an hour, I finally arrived at a small hill.

"Sir, look," said Shinsan, standing next to Masara, pointing to a hill with dense trees far ahead, "The boar's nest is there."

Zhengliang looked in the direction pointed by Xin San's finger. He saw about a mile away, a hill with a lot of towering terrain relative to the surrounding mountains, and there were dense forests near the hill. The hill was just in the extreme zone between tall trees and relatively short shrubs. From the location, except for the hill, there were no hills around it with relatively high terrain, which was not conducive to using the terrain for hunting.

Zhengliang frowned and asked softly, "Is this the only den of wild boar?" If the daily activities of wild boars are near the hill, it will indeed increase the difficulty of hunting.

Shin San pondered for a moment, then looked up at Masayora and replied, "Sir, we followed these wild boars from afar yesterday. According to their footprints, we found that they were basically moving near the den, but at noon, they would go to a pool over there to drink water."

Hum? After hearing Xin San’s report, Zhengliang immediately remembered. Yes, wild boars like to go to the pool and take a bath in mud and water in hot weather. Then look at the distance of the pool referred to by Xin San, which is about one mile to the left of the wild boar's nest. This distance is basically a distance that is reached in a flash for wild boars.

"Let's go and take a look." Zhengliang decided to go to the pool to take a look.

A group of more than ten people walked through the bushes and came to the vicinity of the pool. The pool was located between three small hills. Due to the low terrain, it was composed of streams on the mountain. There were three entrances to the pool, one of which was facing the direction of the boar's nest.

"White boars usually enter the pool from which entrance?" Standing on the roadside near the entrance to the boar's nest, Masayoshi looked at the surrounding terrain while asking about Shinsan.

"Sir, the wild boar entered from this mouth yesterday, and judging from the plants along the road, the wild boars usually walk this entrance every day," said Xinsan, pointing to some small shrubs that were growing again after breaking.

"Well, it's great. Let's get here today, let's go back." After looking at the sun in the sky, it was almost noon, and the wild boar was coming soon. Zhengliang quickly called everyone to leave.

Back at the territory, Zhengliang immediately issued several tasks. First, in the afternoon of the same day, people wanted to create two three-dimensional triangle fences about 5 meters long and about 1 meter high, with a row of wooden guns tied diagonally on one side of the fence. Secondly, people gathered a large number of wild fruits that wild boars loved to eat nearby, and prepared enough dry thatch; finally, they personally led the spear foot to practice the square spear formation in conjunction with the fence. Everyone knew that the lord was preparing to deal with the terrible wild boars, and they seemed very excited. They put down the farm work in their hands that afternoon and joined the preparations.

Soon, all the work was ready. That night, there was nothing wrong. The next morning, Masara and Tsuda Hirozo brought 12 long spears and 11 bows and arrows, and led by 6 old hunters, they entered the woods again. This time, each of them carried, in addition to weapons, there were two fences made yesterday, several wild fruits, dried thatch, several hoes, and three small fishing nets that were dismantled from the only long trawl in the territory.

The remaining footsteps are led by the Daxi Guozhu, who are temporarily responsible for defending the security of the territory and preventing bandits. Dongxiang Heiji also continued to stay behind and was responsible for the daily collective work management of the territory.

After an hour of trekking, I finally arrived in front of the pool. It was already past 9 o'clock in the morning. I was lucky to have not encountered wild boars on the way, because wild boars usually go out to find food in the morning and at dusk, and stay around their nests for the rest of the time.

Before entering the pool, there was a section of about 50 meters, with steep hills on both sides, and the road surface between the two steep slopes was only about 5 meters. Zhengliang first asked someone to dig a pit with a depth of 2 meters, a length of 5 meters and a width of 3 meters in the narrowest section near the pool. Under the pit, a dense short and thick bamboo gun was inserted, and then covered it with branches and leaves, and then lay some mud beside the road. Because the wild boar has a very sensitive sense of smell, most of the mud collected as much as possible is mixed with the breath of wild boars, which is not easy to be found by wild boars. After the pit is set up, several similar pits were set up along both sides near the edge of the steep slope. The pit is relatively narrow and far away from the middle pavement.

The two fences are wiped with the surrounding mud once and placed in the roadside bushes near the side of the wild boar nest. Finally, let people sprinkle wild fruits along the way of the wild boar nest. The closer they are to the direction of the pool, the more wild fruits they are, until the edge of the pool. Of course, wild fruits are wrapped in mud, mainly by using the smell of mud to cover up the smell of people left on the wild fruits.

When all the preparations were ready, the crowd was divided into several digits according to Zhengliang's requirements. The bow and arrow were divided into two teams and climbed to the top of the hills on both sides. Once the war started, when the wild boar planned to force up the steep slope to escape, he tried his best to block it with bow and arrow and long bamboo guns from above. The three old hunters were covered with thick mud, hiding in the fence attachments. Zhengliang and the rest of the people were covered with shallow mud, and hid in the bushes two hundred meters away with dry thatch.

Wild boars have a particularly sensitive sense of smell. They can use their noses to distinguish the maturity of food, and can even find a walnut buried under the snow with a thickness of 2 meters. The male beast can also determine the location of the female beast based on its sense of smell. Therefore, Masayoshi is not worried that the wild boars cannot find the wild fruits scattered on the ground, but they are worried that their group will be discovered, so for the sake of safety, the above hidden measures are taken.

The waiting time was long. After waiting for nearly an hour, with the unique "hum" sound of wild boars not far away, the wild boars finally appeared. While walking towards the pool, the wild boars were digging the wild fruits on the ground. One of the larger wild boars raised their heads from time to time to look at the surrounding environment, and seemed quite alert.

Zhengliang counted carefully and said, "Good guy, there are at least 13 adult wild boars, the largest one should be more than 300 kilograms." There are about 10 piglets, and their furs are yellow and white, and they should be piglets less than 6 months old.

While eating wild fruits along the way, the wild boars happily moved towards the pool. After 10 minutes, the last few wild boars were about to completely pass the blocking location they had decided, but at this time, there was a danger. A little wild boar ran towards a trap on the side of the road. Zhengliang suddenly became nervous. Once the little wild boar fell into the trap, it would inevitably alarm the surrounding wild boars. At this time, the main group of the wild boars was too close to the blocking location. Once they woke up and ran back, even if the three old hunters there tried their best to block the fences that had been prepared long ago, it would cause most of the wild boars to escape. If this was the case, it would be troublesome and his plan would be declared failure.
