Chapter 234 A Brave Man's Decision (Four chapters asking for subscription)
Suming's small bag was filled with many red, pointy plants.
Every farmer in Sun Town feared wild boars, except for one household.
Because what they grew were hot peppers!
There was one time wild boars came down the mountain to ravage the crops, and a few clueless ones rushed into their chili field. After a fierce munching... there was no "after." Those boars took a few bites of the peppers and cried all the way home...
Ironically, Suming happened to be someone who loved spicy food. In his school days, he was too poor to afford dishes in the cafeteria, often eating his rice just with dried chili peppers.
Suming transferred his soul-attaching ability to his second senior brother, who first glared ferociously at Suming before seeing him pull out a bright red chili pepper to stuff into his mouth.
"Eating dry hot peppers in this freezing weather is so exhilarating!" Suming chewed on a handful of dried chilies as though they were snacks, and even waved at Su Meng, "You want some? So fragrant!"
He even prepared a tube of spicy strips, in case the peppers didn't do the trick. But it looked like he wouldn't need the spicy strips after all. Just as Suming took a bite, the second senior brother below suddenly stood frozen in place as if hit by a paralysis spell.
The next second, second senior brother let out a pig-slaughter-like howl, rushing toward a nearby pond with Su Meng on his back, and dove in, gulping down water.
The burning sensation came from Suming's mouth, not from the second senior brother itself, so drinking more water was pointless.
The only effect was that it made Suming feel as if he was drinking water too.
Having eaten so many hot peppers, Suming also felt a bit thirsty, but with the sensation of drinking, he suddenly felt refreshed all over, grabbing more chili peppers to stuff into his mouth while mumbling indistinctly that it would be nice to have a little drink.
Huffing and puffing... second senior brother drank a belly full of water, but the spiciness in his mouth intensified, until he could no longer drink and struggled to crawl onto the shore.
Tears fell in big drops from the corners of second senior brother's eyes.
"Spicy?" Suming asked.
Second senior brother nodded vigorously, gasping for air with his mouth wide open.
"Can we talk now?" Suming asked again.
Second senior brother nodded his head again with force.
...
Because Piggy No. 2's testicle wasn't bitten off by someone else, but by Brother Two! It turned out that one day, Piggy No. 2 was bitten by a poisonous snake in that area, and to save his comrade, Brother Two bravely bit where the snake had bitten, a true hero shedding a testicle, and bit off the poisoned one from Piggy No. 2!
"Alright, alright, let's stop talking about this...," if they continued, Suming feared he would have nightmares in the future.
Overall, the situation was like this: the wild boar herd's original habitat was a very nice place, with plenty of good food and drink, things like Lingzhi mushrooms and mountain springs, but it was occupied by a group of poisonous snakes.
Although wild boars are natural predators of snakes, if there are too many snakes, the wild boars can't do anything except flee in a panic.
This group of wild boars was temporarily homeless, so they wandered everywhere, settling wherever they ended up, and they ventured into human territory.
"Should I help you, or not? You know, I'm not fond of wild boars," Suming pondered, stroking his chin.
...
When Suming left Sun Town, it was probably a little before one in the afternoon, telling his mom he'd go out and play for a while. Who would have known that his outing would last until eight or nine in the evening without him having returned.
"Would you believe this kid, grown so big and still making people worry. His car isn't gone, where could he be?" Mrs. Su was really getting anxious. The countryside around the village isn't as safe as the city, especially at night. Not to mention the threat of various wild animals, even getting lost could lead to big trouble!
Mr. Wu, the town chief, was also at home and tried to reassure her: "Hey, a young man going into the mountains isn't a big deal."
Suming went to the mountains, and since there's no cell phone signal out there, he left his phone at home. Mrs. Su nodded while flipping through the phone, coming across Mr. Song's number.
In the days after Suming came back, he talked a lot about Mr. Song. Knowing that her son had a good relationship with this leader, Mrs. Su couldn't resist and made a call to Mr. Song, wary of leaving a bad impression on the leader, so she didn't directly mention Suming's 'disappearance.' Instead, she delicately inquired if the zoo had assigned any tasks to Su Min that required going up the mountains.
Mr. Song, hearing this, guessed most of it right away and laughed, saying, "Is that kid missing again?"
"Yes, that's right, he went into the mountains, and we can't find him!" Hearing Mr. Song speaking the truth, Mrs. Su didn't hide it.
But she still paused a moment, wondering why he said 'again.'
"Hey, don't worry, Mrs. Su. Suming is not doing this for the first time. He frequently plays disappearing acts around here. Rest assured, as far as I know, there's nothing in the wild he can't handle. Maybe when he comes back, he'll bring some surprises with him," Mr. Song said on the phone.
"What surprises? Coming back safe and sound is the biggest surprise," said Mrs. Su after a few words of pleasantries, feeling a bit more at ease and hanging up the phone.
Mr. Wu continued to console: "Auntie, don't be too anxious. If he doesn't return by the end of the night, tomorrow at dawn, I'll have people go up the mountains to search."
