What will happen to the thrilling scene?
1. Thrilling encounters in the Shennongjia forest area
In the seventies and eighties of the last century, many remote mountainous areas on the mainland were undeveloped, and wild animals were still living and breeding. One of them is the Shennongjia Forest Area in Hubei Province, which is surrounded by mountains, lush forests and a wide variety of wildlife. On an ordinary day in 1975, in a small village in the Shennongjia forest area, a woman named Zheng was washing clothes by the river.
Zheng was a woman in her early thirties, slightly chubby, with a slightly rough face and short hair casually coiled behind her head. She was scrubbing her clothes and humming a little song, looking quite happy. Suddenly, she felt her stomach churn, as if she had eaten something bad. In desperation, she could only temporarily stop what she was doing and run into the nearby woods to solve it on the spot.
The woods were not far from the river, and the trees were so dense that the sunlight could only shine through the gaps in the leaves. As soon as Zheng entered the woods, she heard a deafening roar behind her! She was so frightened that she looked back cautiously and was startled - it turned out to be a large leopard with shiny fur, which was now baring its fangs, as if intending to attack her.
The leopard is a ferocious big cat that can reach more than 2 meters in length and weigh around 100 kilograms. They excel at stealth hunting and are one of the most dangerous predators in the forest. Zheng had never seen a live leopard before, and he was so frightened that he picked up the wooden stick used for washing and threw it at the leopard. But this was not harmful to the thick-skinned leopard, but it angered it, and it took a stride towards Zheng.
Seeing this, Zheng hurriedly pulled out his legs and ran, but the leopard was fast and quickly caught up. Zheng looked back as he ran, only to see the leopard with its teeth and claws, getting closer and closer. She prayed in her heart that she would be able to escape the ferocious beast, but just then, a terrifying scene appeared......
II. A fight to the death against the beast
Just when Zheng thought that she was going to die, a figure suddenly broke into her sight. It was a woman in her thirties named Chen, who was a neighbor of Zheng. Chen was also washing clothes by the river, and when he heard the movement, he followed the sound.
Chen saw the situation at a glance: a ferocious leopard was chasing Zheng. As a village woman who often goes into the mountains, she is no stranger to this dangerous beast. At that moment, without saying a word, she bent down to pick up a sharp stone from the ground and threw it at the leopard.
This hidden weapon hit the leopard's flank, and although it could not cause fatal damage, it also made the beast suffer a little bit of flesh and skin. The leopard was interrupted from pursuit, turned its head, and was about to pounce on Chen.
Seeing this, Chen immediately picked up a sturdy wooden stick, clenched it with both hands, and prepared to face it. The leopard opened its bloody mouth, let out a deafening roar, and then pounced. Chen's agility dodged the ferocious attack with one side.
The leopard pounced, and immediately after landing, it turned around and attacked Chen again. This time, the wooden stick in Chen's hand slammed into its back, making a muffled sound. The leopard let out a howl and turned to flee.
But where would Chen let it go? She jumped and pressed against the leopard, pressing it to the ground. The leopard struggled and tried to bite Chen several times, but she was alertly avoided.
At this moment, Zheng finally came to her senses, she picked up the stone on the ground, and smashed it at the leopard's head. A heavy blow hit the leopard in the eye, and blood poured out. Seeing the opportunity, Chan held down the leopard's head with one hand and picked up a thicker branch with the other, striking it at the door of the head continuously.
After several rounds of desperate fighting, the ferocious leopard finally collapsed in a pool of blood and stopped moving. Chen and Zheng were both panting and scarred. They thought that this was the end of this difficult struggle, but they did not expect that a more thrilling scene was still to come......
Three. The thrilling process of counterattack
Just when Chen and Zheng thought it was over, a roar of a beast came from the forest, seemingly attracted by the movement of this desperate struggle. The two couldn't help but look at each other, their hearts filled with fear.
Sure enough, several wild boars soon rushed out, attracted by the smell of blood. Despite their size, wild boars have a fierce temperament and can be dangerous when attacked.
Chen immediately made a decision, picked up the wooden stick on the ground, and made a defensive posture. Zheng bent down to pick up a few stones, ready to throw them at any moment. At this moment, one of the leading boars let out a deafening neigh, and led the other wild boars to rush towards the two.
Seeing this, Chen waved the wooden stick in his hand and slammed it towards the boar's head. But this boar was strong and easily dodged the blow. Seeing that the opportunity had come, Zheng hurriedly smashed the stone in his hand at the boar.
The stone hit the boar's flank, making a muffled sound. The boar was in pain, let out a roar, and turned around to crash into Zheng. Seeing this, Chen hurriedly blocked in front of Zheng, raised the wooden stick high, and smashed it down with a stick aimed at the boar's head.
The blow hit the nail on the head, and the boar fell to the ground, spurting blood from his mouth. Seeing this, the other wild boars were not to be outdone, and attacked the two of them one after another. In this way, Chen and Zheng started a life-and-death struggle with this group of ferocious beasts.
Chan was armed with a wooden stick, sometimes striking, sometimes swinging, to stop the wild boar on the perimeter. Zheng was responsible for throwing stones to cover for Chen. In this way, the two cooperated tacitly, took care of each other, and finally repelled the group of wild boars one by one.
But just when they thought they had finally solved all this, a huge male boar suddenly came out, his eyes wide with rage, and he couldn't stop foaming at the mouth, as if he was enraged. This boar weighed three or four hundred pounds, and his body was covered with sharp claws, and he had always been the most ferocious existence in the forest.
It let out an earth-shattering roar and immediately rushed towards Chen and Zheng. Seeing this, the two couldn't help but feel a pang in their hearts. Chen hurriedly raised his wooden stick and prepared to attack, while Zheng bent down to pick up the stones on the ground and was ready to throw them......
IV. Eventual Rescue and Heroic Praise
At this moment, a burst of human voices came from the forest. It turned out that the nearby villagers rushed to help after hearing the movement.
The leader was a villager named Zhang Shirong, who was armed with a woodcutter, followed by a dozen villagers with pickaxes and shovels. Seeing that Chen and Zheng were fighting to the death with the boar, Zhang Shirong immediately made a decision, raised his woodcutter and rushed towards the boar.
Other villagers joined the group, throwing rocks and shovels to surround the boar. With the cooperation of Chen and Zheng, the male pig was soon surrounded and retreated.
At this moment, Zhang Shirong seized an opportunity and slashed at the hind legs of the boar. The sharp blade cut through the flesh of the boar, and blood gushed out. The boar was in great pain, let out an earth-shattering roar, and turned around to crash into Zhang Shirong.
Seeing this, Chen quickly picked up a branch and smashed it with a stick on the head of the male pig. The blow hit the nail on the head, and the boar fell to the ground, spurting blood from his mouth. Seeing this, the other villagers also joined the battle group and used various tools to storm the boar.
After a desperate struggle, the ferocious boar finally collapsed in a pool of blood and stopped moving. Chen and Zheng were finally rescued, both lying on the ground, panting.
At this moment, Zhang Shirong walked up to Chen's side and asked in surprise, "This is what you two did?"
Chen nodded and said, "We're just protecting ourselves." ＂
Zhang Shirong praised again and again: "You are so brave! If it weren't for your heroic counterattack, we would have been in danger when we were too late." ＂
Other villagers also gathered around and expressed their admiration for the bravery of Chen and Zheng. Since then, the two have had the reputation of "leopard heroes" in the village. This incident also spread locally and became a good story.
