Ch 15: Those who wronged me are now begging me for mercy Aug 28 2024August 28, 2024 I Just Castrated 100 Pigs Last Month So what was up with these boars? Each one was acting like a king, but in reality, they were just living with a group of sows due to their social structure. They actually thought they were ancient emperors with harems. Rong Ziyin was utterly speechless. But everyone present was genuinely at their wits’ end. Because an hour before Rong Ziyin arrived, this group of wild boars had already been there. They couldn’t be caught, nor could they be driven away. And when they got agitated, they even started attacking people. “Ugh, we hardly get any traffic here, but this is right by the highway. We really need to figure out how to move them!” The person in charge of the toll station was on the verge of collapse. It was a disaster out of nowhere. Wild boars are social animals, and in the past, villagers often suffered from their presence, having to hire hunters annually to prevent the boars from descending the mountains and destroying crops in the fall. But now, things were different. Human encroachment on the environment had severely reduced their habitat, and rampant poaching had drastically decreased their numbers. Despite the surrounding mountains, it was rare to encounter large prey like wild boars, especially in such large groups. The boars in front of them weren’t from the nearby mountains. They had been brought in by poachers to be sold as wild game and were caught by the police at this road junction. Poaching is a serious crime, and with the large number of wild boars, the poachers were looking at serious jail time. Seeing that they couldn’t escape, the poachers abandoned the animals and fled. And to buy themselves more time, they released the wild boars into the area. These were real wild animals, baring their fangs and glaring at the surrounding people. If it weren’t for the barriers on the highway, these boars would have already bolted down the road, led by their leader. Now, both the police and the county’s forestry department were here, but no one knew how to handle the wild boars. The initial plan was to use tranquilizer darts to subdue the boars, but the forestry department staff were inexperienced. The first shot missed, startling the boars, who then lashed out, injuring several people. With no other options, someone suggested bringing in the local vet. But with the village’s vet, Wang Dazhuang, still in jail, and the elderly vet from another village in poor health, it would be dangerous to bring him out here. After much deliberation, Rong Ziyin was the only one left. It just so happened that someone at the toll station was from Rong Ziyin’s village and mentioned, “This Dr. Rong is really skilled! He was the first to discover the outbreak among the ducks in our village.” And so, the forestry department leader hurriedly had someone call the village chief, asking him to bring Rong Ziyin over to help. Now, a group of people were anxiously waiting for Rong Ziyin to arrive and deal with the boars. But when they saw how young Rong Ziyin was, the forestry department had second thoughts. Could someone this young really have the experience needed? But the village chief was adamant, pounding his chest with confidence. “Don’t worry, Leader!” “Our Dr. Rong is capable! He can handle this!” Rong Ziyin, with his medical kit on his back, was completely baffled and wanted to immediately deny it, insisting that he wasn’t up to the task. But the forestry department leader had already been convinced by the village chief’s confidence and was now looking at Rong Ziyin with encouraging eyes. “Comrade, if you have any requirements, feel free to let us know. We’ll do everything we can to assist you.” Rong Ziyin thought for a moment and asked, “Will medical expenses for work injuries be reimbursed?” “…” 3,000 points of awkwardness were added. Completely taken aback by Rong Ziyin’s simple question, the forestry department leader hesitated for a moment before answering, “Yes.” Rong Ziyin nodded, “Okay. Do you have any firecrackers?” “…” They didn’t. They were stuck in the middle of nowhere—where would they get firecrackers? Rong Ziyin’s request was definitely out of the ordinary. “Hmm… just get a few loudspeakers, and then find some colleagues with big lungs and loud voices.” “That should be enough preparation.” After saying that, Rong Ziyin approached the traffic police to discuss rearranging the vehicles that were surrounding the wild boars. Actually, as soon as Rong Ziyin saw the scene, he already had an idea, though it was something that no one else seemed to understand. The truth is, wild boars can be driven away by loud noises. Rong Ziyin instructed them to use vehicles to block the roads around the area, forming a circle with the only exit being the truck with the cages. This way, when the wild boars were startled and tried to escape, their only option would be to run into the cages. But given how bold these boars were, even daring to injure people, how were they going to scare them off? The others present were skeptical. At that moment, the loud-voiced colleagues that Rong Ziyin had requested from the forestry department finally arrived. “Dr. Rong, how are we going to drive them off?” the forestry department leader asked. Rong Ziyin handed each of the men a loudspeaker and then told them, “Stand in a line and just start yelling at the boars!” “What should we yell?” They were all quite confused. “Just yell anything. If that doesn’t work, sing—just make sure it’s loud.” “This… we can’t think of anything on the spot!” The men looked at each other, clearly at a loss. Finally, the village chief suggested, “Why don’t you start us off, Dr. Rong?” “Alright.” But Rong Ziyin wasn’t much of a singer, so he couldn’t think of any popular songs off the top of his head. He simply pulled out his phone, searched for a well-known song, and started with a line from the most catchy one he found, “Riding my beloved little scooter…” “It will never get stuck in traffic!!” Whoa! They knew this one! As soon as Rong Ziyin started, the men with the loudspeakers all joined in, singing loudly. Their sudden burst into song even startled the forestry department leader. This… was this even a song? Eight rough voices boomed out in unison, amplified by the loudspeakers, making everyone else’s heads buzz with the noise. But it wasn’t just the people who couldn’t take it—the wild boars couldn’t either. The lead boar shouted, “Protect the king!” before bolting off, leading its harem straight toward the truck with the cages. It was working! The traffic police and forestry department leaders exchanged glances, surprised at how effective Rong Ziyin’s idea was. The eight men with the loudspeakers were just as excited. Before, whenever they tried to catch the wild boars, they were the ones getting chased. But now, the boars were running from them! These men got even more fired up, following the boars with their loudspeakers. The little scooter song wasn’t enough; they switched to chanting, “I drink alone, drunk with the beauties I pair up with…” This new rhythm was even more terrifying than the last. The wild boars were completely spooked, and within five minutes, they had all rushed into the cages. Rong Ziyin stepped forward, closed the cage doors, and just like that, all the runaway wild boars were captured. The eight men holding the loudspeakers were a bit disappointed that it was over so quickly. Meanwhile, the forestry department leaders, who had been nearly driven to fainting by the noise, were visibly relieved. But there was still more to do. These were wild animals, and whether they were to be released back into the wild or kept in captivity, they needed to be examined first. Naturally, this task fell to Rong Ziyin. It was Rong Ziyin’s first time seeing live wild boars, so he went to check them out. Fortunately, aside from one that had an injury, the rest were in good health. Rong Ziyin treated the injured one, earning 2,000 goodwill points from the wild boars. When Rong Ziyin got off the truck, the injured traffic police officers were still nearby—some finishing up, others waiting to have their wounds treated. There was only one doctor on site, helping with the bandaging. Rong Ziyin thought for a moment and then approached a friendly-looking man. “Would you like me to take a look?” The man: ??? Aren’t you a veterinarian? But even though he had his doubts, Rong Ziyin had already reached out, so the man felt it would be rude to refuse. Reluctantly, he agreed, and in the end, gave Rong Ziyin 700 gratitude points. After all, the wound really did stop hurting after Rong Ziyin treated it. It just felt a bit odd to be bandaged by a vet. So, the man also gave Rong Ziyin 500 “weirded-out” points. But the person feeling even more uncomfortable was the doctor who had been called to treat the injuries. When he noticed that Rong Ziyin was more efficient at handling wounds than he was, he was genuinely shocked. The doctor asked, “Have you interned in an emergency room or surgery department before?” Rong Ziyin replied, “No.” The doctor continued, “Then why are you so good at suturing?” Rong Ziyin thought for a moment and answered, “I just castrated a hundred pigs last month.” “…” Instantly, the entire scene fell silent. Rong Ziyin once again raked in 5,000 awkwardness points. Truly, he was a master at turning situations into profit! By the time everything was wrapped up and everyone had left, it was already past 10 PM. The forestry department decided, after consulting with the Yanjing authorities, to send the wild boars to the Yanjing Wildlife Park. Rong Ziyin also documented his examination results and medical advice, which he handed over to the staff transporting the wild boars to the forestry department. After finishing all of this, it was almost midnight by the time Rong Ziyin returned home. Lying in bed, Rong Ziyin and the system went over the day’s coin earnings. The system had been unusually quiet for a while. Rong Ziyin asked, “What’s wrong?” The system replied, “I’m just shocked at how quickly you’re accumulating coins!” The system revealed the numbers—just on Zhihu, Rong Ziyin had racked up over 300,000 coins. The content was so complex that it practically wrote a saga of the grudges and relationships between readers and the author. When Rong Ziyin opened Zhihu, he was immediately overwhelmed by the notifications. Looking at the comments under his post, they were all over the place. Some were begging him to write the next part, some were pleading with him not to leave the story unfinished, some were questioning the authenticity, and others suggested that he should go write online novels because of his good writing skills. Rong Ziyin: “So, we just need 600,000 more coins to upgrade the lottery, right?” “Yes! And since upgrading only requires 600,000 coins, would you like to spend the remaining 300,000 on a draw? Who knows, you might hit the jackpot!” After all, it was a 300-pull draw! Rong Ziyin thought the system made a good point, so he agreed: “Draw!” As soon as he said the word, his system space was instantly filled with salted duck eggs and salted fish. By the 299th draw, the system space was full, and the reward for the last draw had to be delivered directly into the real world. “Damn it, who is this mocking?” The system was utterly devastated, feeling like it wanted to hang itself at the gates of fate. Rong Ziyin didn’t mind. He calmly prepared his basket to store the salted fish and duck eggs, and agreed to have the final prize delivered into the real world. As soon as he finished speaking, the lottery wheel suddenly burst into a vibrant purple glow. System: “Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, it’s SR-level!” “SR?” Rong Ziyin became serious, curious to see what he had drawn. Five minutes later, Rong Ziyin sensed that something in his room was breathing. He looked down under his bed and saw a gold-colored turtle, about the size of a millstone, sitting on the floor. The turtle was peeking out its head, staring at Rong Ziyin with beady eyes, while a caption hovered above it: “There’s no gossip in China’s 5,000 years of history that this old fellow doesn’t know.” 🍉🫐🍇🍒🥝 <<< TOC >>> Share this post? ♡ Share on X (Opens in new window) X Share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook Like this:Like Loading… Published by Thingyan Your beloved translator (hehe) View all posts by Thingyan
