Han Yuheng did not dare to make a sound because wild boars are very sensitive to sound. Although what he did was despicable and cowardly, he could not die here or become a disabled person. His wife and children depended on him to survive.
He looked at Li Chenze and found that although his body was tense, he was observing the situation calmly. This time, he finally knew why he could never win over the sons of the Li family.
At this moment, Li Chenze was looking for an opportunity to kill the wild boar with one blow. He took out the machete from the bamboo basket and held it in his right hand.
Two minutes passed, and the tree trunk showed signs of cracking. He doesn’t have much time left. He took off the bamboo basket and threw it away.
Hearing the sound, the boar turned its head. At this moment, Li Chenze jumped down from the tree and aimed the machete at its neck.
Seeing him jumping down from the tree, Han Yuheng’s heart suddenly stopped for a moment. The tree was over two meters tall. Jumping down without any cushion would injure him. But before he could react, he saw Li Chenze swinging the machete.
CRACK!
The loud sound of broken bones echoed in the mountain, followed by high-pitched squeals of the wild boar.
When the wild boar struggled to throw Li Chenze off its back, he wrapped dry vines around the wild boar’s neck and strangled it to death.
He pulled out his machete from the wild boar’s back neck and aimed at the same spot. His eyes were cold and sharp, and the muscles in his body were tense.
The moment the machete struck the wild boar’s neck for the second time, blood spurted out like a fountain, staining the ground and his body red.
After another long high-pitched squeal, a loud thud was heard, and silence returned to the mountains.
Everything happened in just a few minutes, but Li Chenze felt like he had just survived a year-long battle. When he was sure that the wild boar was no longer breathing, his body finally relaxed and he fell to the ground, gasping for air.
Seeing him sitting on the ground, Han Yuheng quickly climbed down the tree and asked, "Brother Chenze, are you okay?"
Li Chenze took a deep breath to calm his racing heart and said, "I’m fine. This is not my blood."
Han Yuheng looked at the wild boar and said, "Brother Chenze, Just now, I..."
Before he finished speaking, Li Chenze interrupted him, "Brother Yuheng, you don’t have to feel sorry. Anyone would do the same thing in your situation."
Han Yuheng was ashamed when Li Chenze didn’t blame him. After opening his mouth for a while, he said nothing in the end and lowered his head.
Han Yuheng looked at the meat and estimated it to be about twenty kilograms. When Li Chenze was in danger, he did nothing, so he was ashamed to accept meat.
"Brother Chenze, I can’t accept it," he said.
Hearing his words, Li Chenze was stunned for a moment. He gave this to him so that he would not tell anyone about today’s matter. He didn’t expect that he would reject the meat. This is so out of character for him.
"I didn’t help you kill it, how could I accept it?" Han Yuheng added.
"It’s okay. Your wife has just given birth and needs to eat well. Also, you help me clean it up and I can’t bring that much meat back. Take it," Li Chenze said.
After hesitating for a moment, Han Yuheng finally took the meat and said, "Thank you."
Since there was a lot of meat, they could only find some dried vine and use it to tie the wheat. They then tied it to a stick and carried it on their shoulders. As for the meat, it is placed at the bottom of a bamboo basket and covered with wild mushrooms. When everything was ready, they left the mountain.
When they arrived at the village, the sun had already set and the villagers had returned home. Although there were few people outside the house at this time, the two still chose a desolate road to avoid people.
