Chapter 326: Chapter 196: A Pig Free from Vulgar Interests_2
Whenever young animals are captured from the mountains, the most troubleso situation is when they refuse to eat or drink after leaving their mothers.
Because refusing to eat or drink will lead to starvation.
As long as they eat, and with careful care and not feeding them randomly, most can grow up smoothly.
Da Jiao has already dosticated many young wild animals. He has rich experience in this and is very confident.
Ten days later, under Da Jiao’s ticulous care, these young wild boars all survived successfully. A few of the wounded young wild boars were also treated with dicine by Da Jiao, allowing them to recover from their injuries.
During this period, Jiang Xuan also ca to visit a few tis and was very satisfied with Da Jiao’s dostication results.
On the fifteenth day, Jiang Xuan ca again, not only bringing himself but also two sharp bronze knives.
Jiang Xuan handed the bronze knives to Da Jiao.
“Chief, what are these for?”
Da Jiao, as the leader of the breeding team, naturally knew about bronze artifacts. However, he didn’t understand what Jiang Xuan ant by giving him two small knives because these knives were really too small.
“They are for castrating pigs.”
“Castrating pigs?”
Da Jiao felt a bit confused. This was a field he had never heard of or been involved in.
“That’s right, castrating pigs.”
Jiang Xuan explained, “If we want these young wild boars to curb their wildness in the future, sleep more, and gain more weight, we must remove their base instincts, which ans castrating them.”

“Quick, quick, quick, catch the piglets!”
In the forest, Gou Teng put down the horn that scared away the adult giant wild boar and then excitedly ran to the nearest trap.
This trap was actually a rectangular pit, very shallow. Once a young wild boar fell in, it couldn’t even turn around, leaving little space to move forward or backward.
However, do not underestimate this giant wild boar species, even if it is just a near-weaning cub.
“Swoosh!”
A young wild boar leaped out of the pit, trying to escape.
However, just as it jumped up, a large net fell down, directly covering the young wild boar that had jumped outside the pit.
When catching young wild boars, the pit is only to separate it from the herd, while a rope net is the best thod of capture.
After being netted, that young wild boar struggled and squealed frantically, but the giant wild boar herd had already run far away, and no adult giant wild boar would return to save it.
Beasts usually gauge opponents through the strength of their roars. Earlier, Hunting Team One blew more than a dozen horns simultaneously, and those giant wild boars surely thought they had encountered a pack of fierce beasts, running away without caring for the piglets.
Gou Teng grabbed the young wild boar’s hind legs from the rope net, lifted it up and examined it thoroughly, nodding in satisfaction.
“Not bad, this piglet is sturdy, and its squeal is loud. If we take it back, it will definitely survive.”
Adult giant wild boars have deep brown or black fur, while young wild boars have fur that is tawny and dark brown. Their small ears, little tails, and short snouts make them look quite cute.
Gou Teng put this piglet into the beast hide bag, which had large needle holes and was not sealed, so there was no worry of suffocating the young wild boar.
Afterward, he continued to move forward, catching young wild boars together with the other warriors of the Hunting Team.
After catching them, Gou Teng placed the young wild boars caught by Hunting Team One together and counted them carefully twice.
“A total of twenty-one were caught, not bad. Let’s catch so more prey and then take these piglets back together.”
The giant wild boar cub capture operation was very successful, with no accidents. Gou Teng was in a great mood.
They spent another half-day hunting and then returned to the tribe with these piglets.
Back in the tribe, the young wild boars caught by Hunting Team One and Hunting Team Two were placed together.
Hunting Team One caught twenty-one, while Hunting Team Two caught eighteen, bringing the Vine Tribe’s total to thirty-nine young wild boars.
Seeing these young wild boars, Jiang Xuan was overjoyed. If they could be successfully dosticated, the Vine Tribe would surely have a large herd of pigs in the future.
By then, the issue of lacking oil for cooking could be resolved.
“Co on, send these piglets to the breeding team.”
Jiang Xuan personally led people to deliver the thirty-nine piglets to the breeding area and handed them over to Da Jiao.
“These piglets are not fully weaned yet, so their food needs to be finely chopped for easier digestion.”
“Don’t skimp on grain, the tribe is not short of food now. Keep these piglets alive first.”
“Rest assured, Chief, I will take good care of these piglets.”
Da Jiao attentively rembered everything Jiang Xuan said and reassured him.
“Hmm, piglets are not difficult to raise, and you have accumulated a lot of dostication experience. I believe you will succeed.”
Jiang Xuan patted Da Jiao on the shoulder and then turned to leave.
Da Jiao then took people to quickly clean out an empty pen, lay so soft dry grass on the ground, and placed all the piglets inside.
Then, he chopped up so vegetable leaves and round potatoes, mixed them together, and placed them in a wooden trough.
The trough was made from a whole log hollowed out and is now used by the breeding team for feeding livestock.
First, because the trough is sturdy, and second, placing food in the trough keeps it from scattering everywhere, reducing waste.
Initially, the piglets were very timid, all shrinking into a ball and hiding in a corner, not daring to eat at all.
But they had been hungry for most of the day, and among the piglets, there are always one or two bolder or more reckless ones.
After Da Jiao closed the pen door and left, the sll of food continuously wafted into the piglets’ nostrils.
The first bold young wild boar finally couldn’t resist, twitching its nose, and first carefully observing its surroundings with big eyes, then listening closely to the sounds outside.
Feeling relatively safe, it slowly moved towards the trough containing the food.
When it approached the trough, it still found no signs of danger nearby, so it tentatively nibbled on a piece of round potato.
The young wild boar was born with teeth, and biting into the crunchy round potato was nothing for them.
The taste of round potato was sweet, a huge temptation for the young wild boar.
After taking a bite, it couldn’t stop and imdiately started gobbling it down.
The other hungry piglets, seeing the one eating without any danger, couldn’t resist any longer.
Herd animals generally have a ntality of following the crowd, and so do piglets.
Soon, one by one, the young wild boars ran towards the trough and began to eat.
After leaving for so ti, Da Jiao sneaked back and lay outside the pen, peering through the gaps in the wooden walls to see the piglets eating inside.
This made him breathe a sigh of relief.

Because refusing to eat or drink will lead to starvation.
