Chapter 13: 5-jin Wild Boar
Chapter 13: 5-jin Wild Boar
Shen Anan instinctively ran away, heading into the woods, hoping that the trees along the way could block this big guy.
But this big guy was so fast and powerful that when it hit a tree as thick as a wrist during the pursuit, it actually broke the entire tree. And its skin was thick enough that even if it hit a tree that a person could hug, it would only shake its head without any pain.
Although Shen Anan had been transformed by the marrow cleansing pill, she was still in a miserable state after being chased by this big guy.
When you are unlucky, even drinking cold water will get stuck in your teeth.
When Shen Anan turned around to look for the big guy, she accidentally tripped over a dead tree that was lying across the road and fell one meter away.
In the blink of an eye, the big guy was about to rush in front of her.
In a panic, Shen Anan touched the big rock behind her.
With the idea of giving it a try, Shen Anan used her consciousness to put the big stone into space, and when the big guy rushed over, she suddenly put the stone in front of her.
With a loud "bang", the wild boar that was rushing over couldn't control its strength and crashed into the rock. The whole rock shook and fell down with a loud bang.
Shen Anan waited for a moment before carefully approaching the big guy lying on the ground with the stun gun.
The collision was so severe that the wild boar's head was covered in blood and flesh, and it was breathing in more than out.
Shen Anan was still worried, so she carefully used the stun baton to finish off the knife before she relaxed.
After relaxing, Shen Anan looked at the fallen wild boar and became interested. This big guy must weigh nearly 500 kilograms. It was such a waste to leave it here. It would be so difficult to eat some meat now. She had to take this big guy back.
Looks like I need to come up with a good reason!
Afraid that the smell of blood would attract other wild animals, Shen Anan put the wild boar's body into the space, took two steps, thought about it, and went back to put the big stone into the space.
Then he took out his axe and started down the mountain.
……
……
At the foot of Liuhe Mountain, Shen Laiyou was turning the soil in the field, thinking that he could plant this crop of cabbage tomorrow. Cabbage is easy to store and is the main vegetable in winter.
Looking at the sky, Shen Laiyou picked up his hoe and was about to go home for dinner, but he seemed to hear his little girl's voice.
"Father, father..."
Shen Laiyou thought he had misheard, so he looked in the direction of the voice and saw the little girl hiding in the cornfield and waving at him.
When he got closer and took a look, Shen Laiyou was almost scared to death.
"An An, what's wrong with you? Did someone bully you?"
Shen Anan in front of him was seen with her clothes covered in mud, her hair disheveled, and a bloodstain on her sleeve.
Shen Laiyou grabbed his daughter's hand, tears about to fall.
"Dad, don't worry, I'm fine, really."
Shen Anan quickly comforted her old father who was already crying, and whispered something in Shen Laiyou's ear.
Shen Laiyou listened to his daughter's words and felt that his hearing was not working well due to his old age. He actually heard his daughter say that she was chased by a wild boar when she went up the mountain, and the wild boar was hit to death by a rock!
That's a wild boar!
Can you even kill yourself?
Even if he didn't believe it, when Shen Anan took Shen Laiyou to find the wild boar corpse halfway up the mountain and the blood-stained big rock in front of them, Shen Laiyou could only sigh at his daughter's good luck.
"Dad, what should we do with this wild boar? We can't just say I killed it. If people know, they'll think the wild boar killed itself. If people don't know, they'll think I'm some cruel person."
"I don't want such a reputation!"
Shen Anan knew that this reason was a bit far-fetched, but she really didn't want to have anything to do with the wild boar hunter. The wild boar was so big that it would be impossible to hide it on the way back. She really didn't want to become the talk of the village.
Making a fortune quietly is her consistent principle!
Ever since the news broke about her royalties, her family had been constantly visiting with their children to ask for her advice on writing. It was truly overwhelming! Add to that the wild boar incident, and her quiet days had become even fewer.
Fortunately, Shen Laiyou is a typical daughter slave. When he heard Shen Anan's words, he immediately patted his chest and agreed.
"It's okay, Dad is here. When the time comes, just say I ran into him on the mountain."
"I know that my father loves me the most. I will go back now and tell my eldest brother to find someone to come up and carry the wild boar down."
"Okay, okay, you must go slower on the road and be careful with your step."
"understood."
Shen Anan avoided people all the way back to the Shen family. Wang Sufen and her daughter-in-law were busy in the kitchen when they suddenly heard her granddaughter's scream coming from the yard.
When she came out and looked, her legs went weak and she was about to fall backwards. Fortunately, Mrs. Shen happened to be following behind and held Wang Sufen up.
Shen Anan quickly explained, "Mom, don't worry, I'm fine, and this blood is not mine."
"Where are my eldest and second brothers?"
Wang Sufen took two steps forward, pulled Shen Anan around, looked her over, and confirmed that she only had some scratches on her hands and no other injuries. Then she responded unhappily, "You bastard, you're going to scare me to death sooner or later!"
"Your eldest brother and second brother went to help with the beam raising at your sister-in-law's house today. They will be back soon."
Shen Anan repeated the same words she had told Shen Laiyou to the Shen family. Wang Sufen immediately asked Shen's wife to call Shen Yuancheng and Shen Yuanbang, and then urged Shen Anan to go into the house to change clothes.
"Don't worry about what happens next. Go change your clothes and clean up."
"Look at how dirty you are. What a mess you are in."
He also told the others not to tell anyone about the wild boar, and then hurried out with the Shen brothers who had just returned.
After Shen Anan finished washing and changing her clothes, she rested for a while and then heard the sound of bells coming from afar. She remembered that when there was a big event in the village, the bells would be rung to ask everyone to gather at the threshing ground.
Shen Anan guessed that the wild boar had been carried down the mountain, so she took her nephews and nieces with her and walked towards the gathering place.
……
……
On the other side of the mountain road, a dilapidated tractor was moving slowly forward, driving over the bumpy mountain road and raising clouds of dust.
Five figures were huddled in the truck bed, swaying on the tractor as it moved forward.
"When can we get to Wanyang Village? I want to go home and miss my mother." The girl with pigtails in the corner cried, and the tears on her face washed away the dust, leaving two obvious traces.
"Be patient. When we respond to the country's call to build our motherland, we will always have to endure some tests." Cao Yin hugged Zhang Wan, who had started crying as soon as she got on the tractor, and patted her back soothingly.
Among the educated youth assigned to Anyang Village this time, Cao Yin was the oldest and much more mature. Along the way, she comforted this group of young people who were somewhat at a loss about the future.
"We are here to build the countryside, how can they use this to pick us off?"
Zheng Chenlong looked at the tractor covered in pig manure with disgust, feeling that he had never smelled so bad in his life.
"Just be content. Didn't you hear what Accountant Zhou said? If we hadn't caught this tractor delivering pigs, we would have had to carry our luggage and walk dozens of miles along the mountain roads." Zhong Qing smiled bitterly, feeling as if his butt had been torn into pieces.
"Well... they can't treat us like this. This place is too poor." Zheng Chenlong didn't find any consensus and was unwilling to give up. "Hongzhe, don't you think they are going too far?"
"Okay, now that we're here, how can we regret it? Let's save our energy!"
Duan Hongzhe had actually regretted it the moment he got off the train. He really shouldn't have coveted the house his stepmother had given him. Duan Hongzhe's biological mother had died young, and his father remarried soon after. His stepmother was also very capable, giving birth to twins, a boy and a girl, within a year of marrying into the family.
Duan Hongzhe has been neglected by his father and mother since he was a child. Although his stepmother is not harsh on him, she never cares about him either.
This time, one person from each family had to sign up to go to the countryside. In order to protect her son, his stepmother promised to transfer her house to him. He thought that he would only be in the countryside for a few years, and it would be cost-effective to exchange it for a house in Beijing, so he agreed.
Unexpectedly, before he even arrived in Wanyang Village, he regretted it after seeing the situation in the countryside.
No matter how good the house is, he has to be alive to live there. He underestimated the difficulty of going to the countryside.
Duan Hongzhe leaned against the quilt with his eyes closed, hiding the irritation in his eyes. His words just now were to persuade Zheng Chenlong, but they were also to persuade himself. At this point, he could only take one step at a time.
There is no medicine for regret in this world!
