The battle ahead continued fiercely.
Adult villagers also swarmed up, everyone holding makeshift weapons.
The wild boars were just too ferocious!
The villagers wanted to help but had to wait for the right moment.
Huang Shi also heard the commotion and came out from the house. Seeing this scene, he was dumbfounded!
How could a wild boar come to the village just as he was cooking?
Why was Gu Beihuai fighting with the wild boar?
He then looked at Nan Xiangwan standing to the side.
She stood upright, body slightly angled, drawing a full bow aimed at the wild boar!
Her entire being exuded a powerful aura of solemn killing intent!
Huang Shi was truly stunned for a moment.
Gu Beihuai's hands were already injured from fighting the wild boar in a bitter struggle.
The wild boar's leg was broken but it did not affect its ferocity!
Nan Xiangwan exhaled deeply.
Her gaze was profound.
Left hand holding the bow, right hand drawing the string.
She had been maintaining the full draw for several minutes, equivalent to supporting dozens of kilos of force with two fingers.
If not for her ability to do single-finger support for half an hour, she really could not endure it!
Her extreme training was put to use in this moment!
Finally—
In the midst of the battle ahead, Gu Beihuai once again wrestled the wild boar to the ground.
By this time, Gu Beihuai's hands were covered in blood.
It looked frightening!
Nan Xiangwan seized the opportunity!
Whoosh!
She released the arrow without hesitation!
Her hair floated up with the bowstring, trembling together.
The arrow shot forth with explosive speed and power, rushing towards the wild boar!
It pierced into the soft spot right under the tail, the anus.
This was the softest part of the wild boar's body, even more deadly than a shot to the throat!
Puff!
The arrow pierced right in!
The wild boar immediately threw its head back with a shrill squeal.
At this time, Gu Beihuai quickly reached out.
Grabbing the arrow shaft, he forcefully stabbed it deeper!
The arrow instantly penetrated the wild boar's intestines!
The wild boar stomped and convulsed in sheer agony.
Finally, Gu Beihuai had a chance to grab the dagger hidden in his boot.
He drew it out!
With one slash!
He viciously stabbed into the wild boar's anus, at the same spot as the arrow.
Then with a fierce downward yank!
The blade slashed open from the anus to the rear abdomen!
Blood sprayed everywhere!
Seeing this, the surrounding villagers rushed up to help, weapons at the ready.
The wild boar still tried to fight back.
But it now faced the villagers' relentless blows!
Some stabbed into the gaping wound, others simply grabbed and ripped out the boar's guts!
The scene was gory!
But with everyone's efforts, the danger was finally neutralized.
At this point, Nan Xiangwan standing atop the wall lowered her bow.
A bead of sweat rolled down her forehead, clinging onto her eyelashes.
Her fingers trembled slightly, the full draw earlier had overexerted her arm muscles.
Gu Beihuai's first thought after the crisis ended was to rush back to check on Nan Xiangwan.
His face and body were still covered in blood, but he ran back to see if she was okay.
The sight that greeted him was of the girl lowering her bow, fingers quivering.
There was moisture on her eyelashes.
Her expression was serene, lips pale white, yet she was uninjured.
Gu Beihuai heaved a sigh of relief!
He wanted to reach out but seeing his own bloody state, he ultimately did not.
He stood still before Nan Xiangwan, chest heaving as he caught his breath: "Nan Xiangwan."
Just then, the bead of sweat on Nan Xiangwan's eyelashes rolled down.
Gu Beihuai's heart skipped a beat: "It's over now."
Nan Xiangwan: "Mm."
Gu Beihuai felt like he had to say something more. This girl had recklessly charged forward to fight the wild boar, she was really crazy!
Did she think she was invincible?
So Gu Beihuai hardened his heart, ignoring the liquid on Nan Xiangwan's eyelashes.
He said coldly: "Rushing forward to fight the wild boar, you're really gutsy huh?"
Nan Xiangwan pursed her lips, not speaking.
She was indeed weak.
Gu Beihuai: "Will you dare to do that again in future, hmm?"
Nan Xiangwan: "I won't dare anymore."
She could not beat a wild boar.
What a disgrace for the Empire's First Female General!
Huang Shi at the side advised: "That's enough, stop talking."
Gu Beihuai sat down panting. The medics swarmed around to treat his wounds.
Nan Xiangwan's lips grew paler, her face looking unwell.
Only then did Huang Shi also hear from the crew that Nan Xiangwan had actually charged out to fight the boar and even saved a villager.
Huang Shi was shocked!
But Gu Beihuai had already scolded her harshly, so now seeing Nan Xiangwan's pale face, Huang Shi also felt bad for her.
He sat down beside Nan Xiangwan and patted her head: "Teacher Gu was just worried about you, that's why he scolded you. Don't feel upset, you saved someone just now, we should commend you. But you really can't overexert yourself, it's too dangerous, understand?"
Nan Xiangwan nodded, eyes fixed straight on Huang Shi.
Huang Shi was confused by her stare.
Then the girl spoke: "Teacher Huang, I'm so hungry, hypoglycemic."
Huang Shi: "???"
Gu Beihuai was halfway through dressing his own wounds when he paused sharply at those words.
The girl's pale lips were from hunger?
Not fear?
Looking at her face again, damn, hypoglycemic, sweating from starvation.
The beads of sweat on her forehead trickled onto her eyelashes. They were long enough to catch the sweat.
Making it seem like... tears!
Gu Beihuai pressed his lips together, rendered entirely speechless.
He had worried for nothing!
By this time, the ambulances, fire trucks and police cars had all arrived.
Actually they rushed over very quickly, the first responders!
But Gu Beihuai and Nan Xiangwan's cooperation was even faster.
The entire battle took just ten minutes.
The first three minutes were Nan Xiangwan's standoff with the boar, Gu Beihuai shooting arrows.
The next seven minutes were Gu Beihuai battling the boar, Nan Xiangwan shooting arrows.
Anyway, the boar charged the village and got slaughtered!
The police had originally wanted to ask about the situation, but the villagers blocked them and clamored loudly.
"We know wild boars cannot be hunted! Our village hasn't gone up the mountain to hunt boars in over a decade!"
"This time the boar came down itself and even injured someone! That person's been sent to hospital! Don't know if he's okay!"
"We didn't intentionally kill the boar, it was self-defense!"
"If not for the young miss stepping in, my dad would have died!"
"Don't bother those two celebrities, it's our villagers who killed the boar! Take us away if you want to arrest someone!"
The police were confused, they didn't say anything about arrests!
This was clearly self-defense, how could they just wait for the boar to bite someone to death?
But the villagers didn't know why the police came. They instinctively wanted to protect Gu Beihuai and Nan Xiangwan.
After much explanation, the villagers finally understood the police weren't here to make arrests, before letting them through.
The police asked about the situation and took statements, case closed.
There were cameras around, plus so many villagers as eyewitnesses.
Not much to investigate, the priority was that no one was seriously hurt!
Gu Beihuai's injuries were at several spots, so the ambulance took him to hospital.
Needed injections and such.
It was a wild animal, the claw wounds had to be properly disinfected at the hospital etc.
Not something the TV crew medics could handle.
Nan Xiangwan was unhurt.
The villager knocked down by the boar was also hospitalized, just to get checked over.
Although uninjured, still got knocked down after all.
Fortunately everything turned out fine!
Nan Xiangwan rushing out to shield the elder meant he was not seriously impacted.
