Song Xiuyan didn’t quite believe it. “Will this really work?”

Ding Yao nodded. “It will definitely work. We’ll add lees to the pig food, and we’ll be able to attract wild boars to eat it.”

When he heard that lees would be added, Song Xiuyan’s eyes lit up. Perhaps this method would really work! Ah Jie’s family brewed wine, and lees were readily available. When Song Yang heard this, he was also very happy. He volunteered and said, “I’ll go and tell Ah Jie and the others! Whether this method works or not, we have to give it a try!” If he didn’t believe it, they were just wasting some lees and pig food. If it worked, they would get rid of the evil for the people, and they could still gain something.

Song Xiuyan nodded. “Go.”

Song Yang ran to the door excitedly, but after a while, he ran back and asked Ding Yao, “Should I tell Ah Jie alone, or should I tell others as well?” If he only told Ah Jie, then only Ah Jie would get a share of the wild boar he hunted. If he told others, then there would be many people who would get a share of the pork. Wild boar meat was very valuable!

Ding Yao looked at Song Xiuyan. “What do you mean to do?”

Song Xiuyan immediately understood what Ding Yao meant. She wanted to tell Ah Jie and the other villagers. She had told him before that the relationship between neighbors was very important. As the saying went, a distant relative wasn’t as important as a close neighbor. She was able to remind him because she saw that his family had almost no contact with the people in the village.

Song Xiuyan understood Ding Yao’s good intentions. He went along with her intention and said to Song Yang, “Just tell Ah Jie and some other people who will participate in the hunting of wild boars. It’s not good if too many people know about it. Also, don’t tell them that there’s a knockout drug in the pig’s food. Just tell them that there’s a drug in the pig’s food that can speed up the process of making wild boars drunk.”

Song Xiuyan had just remembered that the knockout drug was a drug that the town government prohibited from being privately made. If this news got out, Ding Yao would be in trouble.

Song Yang patted his head. “Xiuyan is still the best. I almost forgot about this!” After saying that, he quickly ran into Ah Jie’s house and told him the method that Ding Yao had told him. Ah Jie and the others didn’t really believe that this method would work, however, Ah Jie was very excited. “Whether it works or not, we have to give it a try!”

Ah Jie’s father also strongly supported him. “That’s right. Giving it a try won’t delay anything. This method isn’t dangerous at all. Those who don’t want to participate can choose not to participate. However, don’t leak this matter out. If there are too many people, it will cause a big commotion. It won’t be good if we scare the wild boar away.”

Hearing what Ah Jie’s father said, the other men immediately changed their minds. Actually, there was no harm in trying it out. At most, it would waste a bucket of pig food and some distillers’ grains. They immediately agreed that they wouldn’t tell anyone about this, even their own wives. Moreover, every family would provide a handful of rice and boil a pot of fragrant vegetable porridge to make pig food.

In the afternoon, a big pot of pig food was ready. Before the sky turned dark, Ah Jie used two buckets to carry it to the mountain nest. At night, everyone gathered at Ah Jie’s house. Song Xiuyan and Song Yang also came with the medicinal powder. Everyone was very surprised. They thought that Song Xiuyan wouldn’t participate.

Song Xiuyan didn’t really want to participate. He was worried about the safety of his family. However, Ding Yao said that the safety of his younger brother and sister was on her shoulders. Moreover, there were people sent by the government to watch over them in secret. There was nothing to worry about. After the wild boar fainted, a large number of people were needed to carry it back. Besides, if Song Xiuyan went, everyone would be safer. Song Xiuyan was convinced, so he decided to go with them.

Six or seven people brought two pig food troughs and thick ropes to bind the wild boars. Under the cold moonlight, they split into two groups and went to the mountain nest. They mixed the medicinal powder into the pig food and then poured the pig food into the pig food troughs, then they retreated to a safe place and hid.

The smell of distiller’s grains blew for ten miles and soon attracted the wild boars. Everyone lay motionless in the grass and waited excitedly and nervously for the wild boars to take the bait. The wild boars sniffed left and right and finally found the pig food that smelled of wine. The wild boars’ IQ wasn’t high. Coupled with the temptation of the aroma of the food, they didn’t even think and directly ate it.

In a short while, the boar’s food in the two pig trough was snatched by the wild boars. The piglets were the first to faint. The two big wild boars realized that something was wrong and staggered for more than ten steps before finally falling down.

Ah Jie cheered, “Yeah, we did it!” After shouting, he was about to rush over. However, he was stopped by Song Xiuyan. “Wait, I’ll go over and take a look first. If there are no problems, you can come over.” He didn’t forget how Ah Jie died in his previous life, so it was better to be careful.
