Chapter 237: Chapter 235: Gate of Life, Gate of Death—The Little Wild Boar’s Choice!

Sichuan Tongjiang, forest area.

On the open ground, wild boars wandered around in groups of three or five, lazily searching for food.

They ate everything, including the roots of plants, uprooting and consuming the roots and stems of precious flowers and grasses.

Wild boars are extremely skilled at rooting the ground, with thick skin and hardy builds.

The county government had always been helpless against the wild boars.

Even hiring hunting teams couldn’t possibly kill them all.

It’s estimated that there are around twenty thousand wild boars in Tongjiang, which is already at disaster levels.

Guns are simply not enough to handle them.

And other traps are ineffective; electric grids and explosives are not permitted.

Private individuals aren’t qualified to hunt wild boars either.

It wasn’t until Jiang Feng somehow came up with a trap that went viral online that the county government saw hope in controlling the wild boar problem.

As a result, many areas in Tongjiang started installing these large cages.

Ten were installed at a time.

Each one cost about twenty to thirty thousand, so ten would cost two to three hundred thousand.

Corn porridge was placed inside the cages, and infrared sensors were set to detect the number, then close the cage.

In just a few days, this area captured over two hundred wild boars.

The efficiency was much faster than the hunting teams.

And there was no need for so many hunting dogs to die from capturing wild boars.

The county government was overjoyed.

The internet truly has many talents.

Capturing wild boars was originally something no one paid attention to, but soon many places were using Jiang Feng’s method to handle the wild boar disaster, protecting the environment, and news outlets praised Jiang Feng’s trap.

The most famous interview was with an honest farmer who said, "Thanks to that streamer who used the trap to catch wild boars, he’s really the Pig King!"

As soon as this sentence was uttered, many people began calling Jiang Feng the Pig King.

This morning, Jiang Feng started streaming.

He didn’t go to the meadow but stayed at the ranch to make some repairs.

He checked on the foal, July.

The foal was in excellent condition.

Every time someone brought over mare’s milk, the little one would come over to drink, looking very healthy.

As soon as the stream started, comments flooded in.

[Pig King!]

[From today, you are the Pig King, Ranch Owner!]

[Our county government thanks you! They call you the Pig King!]

[Pig King, share your thoughts!]

Netizens continuously teased him.

Everyone loves these kinds of comments.

Jiang Feng, seeing the comments, was slightly helpless.

"I’ve removed the cages. Originally, I got an order from above to try using the cages, and if we caught anything, there would be subsidies."

"But I didn’t expect to catch so many."

"Moving forward, I won’t be catching wild boars. I’ll leave that to the hunting teams and the government."

Jiang Feng informed everyone.

[Ranch Owner, this is a great service to society. Our local farmers are especially grateful, everyone absolutely loathes wild boars!]

[These creatures reproduce so much; it was absurd they were once a protected species!]

[They’re incredibly destructive, it’s become a severe problem!]

[Worse than locusts!]

Everyone responded one after another.

Jiang Feng stopped talking about the wild boars.

After feeding the foal, he went to the pigsty to check on his pigs.

Peppa was still in there.

Currently, Peppa still had a well-proportioned body, looking quite delicious.

Of course, this domestic pig had transitioned from livestock to a pet, and Jiang Feng wouldn’t eat it.

Pigs have a lifespan of 10-15 years, and with good care, living ten years is no problem.

Peppa was completely different from the other pigs.

Every time Jiang Feng appeared, the other pigs would have their heads down eating or searching for food, but Peppa would raise its head to look at Jiang Feng.

This is a pig that raises its head.

In the pig group, it always seemed out of place.

Jiang Feng thought about a fun fact and casually mentioned to everyone:

"There’s a saying that pigs can never see the sky."

"Because pig necks are so weirdly designed, their view is downward, so the sky doesn’t exist in their vision."

"Of course, this is a bit exaggerated as pigs can see the sky if they lie down or upside down."

"But it makes sense, especially since pigs only know how to eat and sleep, making them appear even lazier."

"But Peppa is different, look at it, it raises its head and looks up."

"This pig really is a bit different."

As Jiang Feng finished speaking, netizens turned to look at the pigsty.

Indeed, as Jiang Feng said, this pig, with its delicate features, was the only one lifting its body to look up.

[Learned another useless fun fact with the Ranch Owner!]

[Pigs can’t see the sky? That’s so miserable!]

[Peppa looks really delicious... no, I mean cute!]

[This pig is quite handsome!]

Then, Jiang Feng took a hose and started to shower the pigs in the sty.

The high-pressure water gun fired out.

With the hot weather and the dirty pigsty, it needed daily cleaning.

The pigs, seeing water, all huddled together for a bath.

Originally a bit grimy, the water jet washed them clean.

The pigs instantly became chubby and white.

The scene was very soothing to watch.

Fattened pigs can be eaten in six months, but Jiang Feng’s pigs were usually fed for over ten months, and the meat tasted significantly better than industrially-raised pigs.

Many people might never taste free-range farm pigs in their lifetime.

Then, Jiang Feng opened the pigsty door, letting Peppa out to play.

Peppa immediately ran out joyfully.

It was very cheerful.

This pig was so strong that even an adult could ride it while it ran.

Peppa ran out for a stroll, possibly to find Xiaojin Hua.

The animals on the ranch were always like this, hopping around every day.

When afternoon came, the day’s grazing at the ranch concluded.

Jiang Feng finished dealing with the cattle and sheep, and went back to the yard to rest.

About half an hour passed.

Suddenly, Xiaojin Hua appeared at the entrance of the yard, standing upright at the door without coming in, then looked at Jiang Feng with a silly grin.

This golden Border Collie always has some of its own ideas.

Jiang Feng was livestreaming the situation in the yard, and seeing Xiaojin Hua, he suddenly froze for a moment.

The drone also flew towards Xiaojin Hua to capture her.

Jiang Feng began to speak:

"Everyone look at Xiaojin Hua’s expression, it’s the kind of face that appears only when she’s made a friend."

"Earlier, bringing in the White Wolf, hedgehog, and fox, it was the same expression."

"Looks like she’s made a new friend again."

"And I’ve suddenly got a bad feeling."

Hearing Jiang Feng’s words, the viewers also focused on the livestream screen.

Everyone saw Xiaojin Hua’s cute appearance.

[Made a new friend again?]

[This pup’s social skills are incredible!]

[Shows she’s brimming with enthusiasm, animals all like her.]

Sure enough, as Jiang Feng had said, at this time, Xiaojin Hua began to bark softly towards the side, signaling her friend to come in.

Then, Xiaojin Hua ran into the yard.

Jiang Feng watched the entrance, eagerly anticipating the friend Xiaojin Hua had found.

Soon, a small wild boar with long stripes appeared at the entrance.

Seeing this, Jiang Feng was both helpless and relieved.

He had guessed Xiaojin Hua would bring back a wild boar, given how numerous wild boars are now.

But he feared it would be an adult wild boar, which would be impossible to keep, as they’re not only aggressive but also harmful.

Now, it turned out to be a wild boar piglet.

Most likely, it was the lucky one from a group caught in traps these past few days that didn’t get captured.

The livestream’s comment section exploded.

[Holy smokes! It’s a wild boar!]

[It’s a wild boar piglet!]

[Shouldn’t this thing be dealt with too?!]

[The piglet looks okay, but why does it look so ugly when grown!]

The wild boar piglet is quite good-looking, but once it grows up, its body is covered in hard hair, with tusks, and its posture is awkward, which is unpleasant to look at.

This wild boar piglet looked a bit scared, standing at the entrance, afraid to come in.

Xiaojin Hua was still encouraging it to come in.

Jiang Feng laughed and cried. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"So, it really brought me a wild boar, I don’t even know how to deal with it."

"Raising it won’t be feasible when it grows up."

"Killing it, I’m a bit reluctant this time."

"This little guy is really giving me a tough choice."

Hearing Jiang Feng’s words, the viewers understood his hesitation.

Indeed, the piglet looks quite adorable, and its family is probably gone, now truly an orphan.

If killed directly, it would be too cruel.

Jiang Feng pondered and then said:

"If faced with an unsolvable issue, let it choose itself!"

"If it’s hard to solve, let it solve itself!"

Saying this, Jiang Feng went over, pinched the piglet’s waist, and lifted it up.

The piglet emitted a series of piglet squeals.

This scene somewhat resembled Peppa when she was little.

The viewers grew more curious, wondering what the host was up to.

Then, Jiang Feng placed the piglet on the grass and said:

"Now, using the line formed by me and the door as the benchmark."

"If it runs to my left hand side, I’ll let it live."

"If it runs to my right hand side, it’s chosen a path leading to death."

"Whether it can survive, it’s all up to itself!"

Hearing Jiang Feng’s words, the viewers immediately got excited.

[The host knows how to play up the situation!]

[Haha, playing with the gate of life and death!]

[Praying the piglet successfully lives!]

[Amazing!]

Jiang Feng stood on the yard’s central line.

He pressed the piglet onto the grass and then immediately let go.

Then, everyone’s eyes focused on the piglet.

Everyone awaited the piglet’s choice.

Unexpectedly, the boar’s choice was surprising.

It turned around and charged angrily at Jiang Feng, jumping and letting out agitated squeals.

It’s clear that it’s very angry.

But when cute things get angry, it just looks cute from any angle.

The viewers burst into laughter.

Human and pig emotions are not mutually understandable.

The piglet charged at Jiang Feng, flapped twice to vent its anger, then ceased being angry and turned back.

Everyone kept watching its tiny steps running out.

But this guy was running in a straight line, appearing as if it was heading directly out of the yard!

In this way, it was like flipping a coin and having it stand on the edge on the table!

The viewers were for the first time experiencing a tense moment watching a piglet run, slowing their breath!

A life-and-death choice was full of ups and downs.

Just then, Xiaojin Hua suddenly barked at the piglet.

The piglet heard the bark and immediately ran towards Xiaojin Hua.

Xiaojin Hua was on Jiang Feng’s left hand side.

Meaning, due to Xiaojin Hua’s bark, the piglet chose the gate of life.

"It’s the left side."

"The gate of life."

"Then let’s raise it!"

Jiang Feng smiled with relief.

As soon as they heard the result, the commentary in the livestream flooded in.
