Back to the 80s: Raising my Wolfy Boyfriend-Chapter 20: The Ferocious and Frenzied Wild Boar
She was just out for a walk and happened to meet Du Aiqing coming down the mountain. How could she accept anything from him?
Du Aiqing knew she was genuinely refusing and not just being polite, but he sincerely wanted to give: "Keep it."
He glanced again at the little wolf cub who was tightly gripping Gu Jin’s hand: "And give this kid something warm to eat. It’s rare to see him so clean."
Isn’t that true, An Mingji was famously the dirty child in the village.
He was as fierce as a little wolf cub, filthy all over, never sure when his next meal would be.
After his father died, his mother ran away, and not long after, his grandmother passed away as well. His ruthless uncle from the An Family took over their house and didn’t leave the boy a place to stay, driving him out of his home.
Everyone pitied him, but in those times, no one could take him in. The saying that a half-grown child could eat a family into poverty was no joke.
Gu Jin looked down, gazing at An Mingji beside her, hesitant about Du Aiqing’s offer.
The child was too thin and indeed needed good nutrition.
But she couldn’t take things from others for nothing.
While Gu Jin hesitated, An Mingji suddenly tightened his grip on her hand.
"Sister A...Ah Jin!"
An Mingji’s eyes were fixed intently on a spot, his voice unintentionally trembling.
Even Du Aiqing on the opposite side seemed to have sensed the danger and abruptly turned to look at the dense forest of Qingluan Mountain.
He heard a faint noise, the sound of something crashing around, rustling the leaves.
Immediately following was a piercing screech.
Du Aiqing listened to the furious screeching sound, his whole body tensing up, his eyes narrowing sharply.
He recognized the sound of the animal, a wild boar!
It was the culprit that tormented his brother, with no way to save him, causing him to die painfully—a wild boar!
"Run! Get out of here!"
Du Aiqing quickly grabbed a wooden stick with sharp tools tied to his back, staring intently at the place emitting the piercing cry of the wild boar, his steps slowly retreating.
Behind him, Gu Jin and An Mingji held hands tightly, also sensing the danger.
Hearing Du Aiqing’s command to leave, Gu Jin did not hesitate for a moment, turning to pull An Mingji away.
The child beside her was too fragile; she couldn’t let him get hurt again.
Unfortunately, it was too late!
Just as Gu Jin turned to leave, the wild boar had already appeared, and it even saw the three of them.
It glanced at the foolish roebuck it had injured, lying on the ground, and in an instant charged at Du Aiqing, Gu Jin, and An Mingji.
Those sharp tusks inspired terror at the mere sight.
Du Aiqing watched the madly charging wild boar, unable to dodge, and could only swing the weapon in his hand at it.
The wild boar was exceedingly cunning, redirecting its attack toward Gu Jin and An Mingji, who had just taken two steps to leave.
"Ah Jin! Run fast!"
Du Aiqing shouted loudly.
Gu Jin felt a dense, stabbing sensation behind her, the impending danger making her scalp tingle.
At the moment the wild boar attacked her, she quickly picked up the child beside her and dashed towards the open space to the side.
This dodge avoided the wild boar’s fatal attack.
Seeing that the two were unharmed, Du Aiqing let out a heavy sigh of relief. He moved to the children’s side, standing in front of them, confronting the vicious and frenzied wild boar.
The attack was evaded once more, causing the wild boar to issue an angry squeal.
It glared at Du Aiqing, Gu Jin, and An Mingji, preparing for its next attack.
"I’ll deal with it in a moment. You two take the chance to run, and don’t look back!"
Du Aiqing couldn’t stand to watch the wild boar harm anyone.
