Pig Slamming

55. the Hunter

Hearing the answer of Makmun's battery, who knew his parents.Galih's face looks happy, because he will be easy when he wants to convey his purpose.

"Oh yes! Ujang wanted to meet the battery, he said there was something important, which Ujang wanted to convey. If Aki can tell, what's important is Jang?" ask Aki Makmun while staring at his guest.

"This battery according to the statement of the Father.that the battery is very skilled in hunting wild animals, especially in hunting wild boars. Is that true?"

"If you are an expert, no. But if the hobby, yes. because the battery has been since adolescence, the battery has started hunting, even until now, the battery continues to do the habit of the battery. Why is it Jang?"

"Look at aki! lately I have a new hobby, which is hunting wild animals, one of which is hunting wild boar. I go to the battery, I want to study and want to ask for knowledge about hunting." answer Galih explaining his purpose.

Hearing his guest's question like that, made Makmun's battery silent for a moment. Because from a long time, he hunted He did not have any knowledge, he only channeled his hobby by hunting. because when hunting he will find pleasure, which is not obtained by doing other things.

"Weight Jang! if the request Ujang like that. because the hunting battery is just a hobby.there is no special science to do hunting." replied the Makmun battery that looks to take a breath, because it is true so the situation, because it is, he only shares his hobby with hunting.

"I'm sorry if I burden the mind of the battery, but what I mean is the science of hunting is the experience of the battery. Maybe from those experiences there is an implied science. So who knows if Aki has extraordinary experiences, when hunting wild boars." explained Galih who is very clever they-did talk, so that his intentions are not discovered.

"Oh so! kirain aki really asked for knowledge.honestly if you ask for hunting knowledge, the battery does not have. but if the experience of hunting is very much. But even like that, jang Galih must remain careful, because not all experiences are good. And not worth exemplifying.

"real Ki! but I think it would be nice for all the good and bad experiences to be told."

"Why?"

"Because if from good experience we can take the good of it. from bad experience we can take lessons, so that we do not fall prey to bad events."

"Really! aye! nice. Aki likes the thought of young people like Ujang. A moment ago I remember what experience to tell." replied Makmun's battery while staring out the window, recalling past events, which had been experienced. Long thought he was finally smiling.

"It used to be that when the battery was a teenager, it was about 25 years old. Aki already really likes to hunt wild boar. One time there was a wild boar on strike. the pig was very big, the horns only to collide, the color was already grayish black. when the pig was making a sound, the pig, so our hearts will tremble in fear.Even if ordinary people who hear, not people who often hunt, they will run in a storm, or can faint on the spot.

"The forest pig has not moved anywhere for two days. Aki along with other hunters continue to look for ways to kill the pig. The dog has run out dozens of tails, there are guts out, there is a broken neck, there is a broken neck, there were also those who were trampled by his feet.Aki and the hunters were willing to give up, because they had run out of energy and were out of reason to kill him. but after thinking about it and discussing with other hunters, if the striking pig is left alone, it will usually turn into a shadow pig. how would you feel if that happened. Finally the battery and the hunters tried to kill the pig, but unfortunately our struggle was in vain."

"Why?"

"Because the battery with the hunter has deployed all the weapons, ranging from spears, arrows, and other weapons.but none of them penetrated the pig's skin, I don't know why the pig could be that thick."

"How else do you think?"

"It is impossible to use a weapon, we decided to throw the pig with a stone.In the days of young batteries, there was someone whose strength exceeded others. He was able to lift a stone as big as a bucket of paint. With such force, he took out one of the large stones, then threw it towards the pig, the pig was still standing in silence, without leaving his strike place."

"Great, the pig is yes Ki" said Galih who looks amazed by the greatness of the pig.

"real Jang! very great. in throwing using a spear does not work, pounded using stone even grin. various ways we have done."

"How does the story go?:

"If you have a grandfather, named Miun. well the miun battery that killed the pig."

"How's it?" tanya Galih who looks enthusiastic listening to the story being brought by Makmun battery.

"Why what?"

"The rabbit who was sitting in a booming voice. was challenged by Miun's battery. "hai boar, if you dare. Now let's fight, let's fight, and attack me If it's true you're a very gallant boar." Challenge the miun battery while staring at the pig.

"Hearing such a challenge, the strange pig who had not noticed, he stared intently at the person who was challenging him, with perfectly rounded red eyes.His voice increasingly frightened people, the pig seemed to understand what the Miun battery was saying, so the pig was getting ready to hit it."

"Keep what's done?"

"If the noodle takes his headband, then wrapped around the palm of the hand, so the headband wraps his hand, until it looks like a mango."

"Hehehe!"

"Don't laugh! this is not a comedy story, this is the reality that happens." said Aki Makmun as he glanced.

"Sorry Ki! please continue." replied Galih who lowered his head, hiding the feeling of wanting to laugh.

"Well, after that, the pig that was getting ready to attack Miun's battery quickly the pig ran towards the miun battery. but with the casually of the noodle battery whose hands were tied with cloth.he punched the pig's throat, until the pig died releasing his life."

Hearing the story of the Makmun battery like that, Galih just took a slow breath. feeling amazed by the greatness possessed by the Miun battery.although the story is not understood by common sense, but Galih strongly believes. Because the storytelling is not seen joking. Aki Makmun casually he took a sip of water, then took Aren leaves to be filled with tobacco. Without paying attention to Galih, he began to turn on the twisting of Aren's leaves.

"What a great Aki! now that the battery is still there, isn't it?"

"There is no Jang! look at her granddaughter as old as aki!"

"If there's still one I want to learn the science of battery."

"No, Jang died. He died a long time ago too."

"Oh like that, there is still a strange story that Aki encountered while hunting."

"Many Jang, if the hunting experience is possible if told will not run out for days."

"What is Ki?"

Aki Makmun began to tell a second story when she hunted wild boars. When Makmun's battery with the boar entered the trap trench, until they both stared at each other in shock, because it could be in the same hole.quickly ki Makmun went up to the top of the Trench, so they could look at each other, but after seeing Makmun's battery go up, the pigs went up. then they looked at each other again. After realizing the situation of the Makmun battery was screaming, telling his hunting partner that there were wild boars nearby. But while shouting while running.the pig ran eastward, while the battery Makmun westward, so that the pig could not be captured.

The third story Aki Makmun tells of the incident when he met a strange pig. because the pig was not afraid of dogs, even his dog who was afraid of the pig. because the dog just kissed the pig, because the dog just kissed the pig, without making an attack, it was as if the smell of the dog disappeared instantly, and even more strangely the pork food, did not want to be given cassava or raw taro or foods that pigs usually eat in general. The magic pig prefers to eat fried bakwan or lontong, or salted fish with sambal especially if added rice. seeing such an incident, the residents decided to keep the strange pig into his house, and it turned out that the pig was very happy when stored in the house.

Hearing this story, Galih also looks enthusiastic, because indeed from earlier he asked to and fro, to find out about the strange pig incident.

"Where is Ki?"

"In Situ Village.even the incident happened not long ago, maybe almost a year or two years ago" replied Makmun aki reminding us to the story of Mang sarpu who can not change back to its original form. and from there also Mbah Abun began to be tempted by the wealth obtained, until finally now his son was the victim of the greed of his parents.
