Chapter 139 Pulling 3 Wild Boars Back to the Village
On the winding mountain path, Bai Jin and Shen Li walked side by side, followed by two carts pulled by Zhao Dali and his son.
In the sunlight, Shen Li's hair was a little messy, and her face showed fatigue after the battle, but she still stood straight with her back stubbornly.
There were a few spots of wild boar's blood on her clothes, and the long sword in her hand was unsheathed, with a faint cold light.
Bai Jinze walked steadily, his white clothes, though slightly stained, unable to conceal his elegant demeanor. His eyes were sharp, constantly paying attention to the movements around him.
Wolf Xiaoliu was jumping and playing not far ahead, looking back at everyone from time to time and making low whimpering sounds.
The boy's cart was pulled, and the wheels rolled over the dead branches and leaves on the ground, making a slight creaking sound.
The boy lay quietly in the car, his face pale.
Another cart was carrying three wild boars. The boars' huge bodies swayed as the cart moved, and blood dripped into the mud on the mountain path.
From time to time, the clear chirping of birds can be heard in the mountains and forests, interweaving with the creaking sound of the cart.
The breeze blew, and the trees on both sides rustled, as if whispering their heroic deeds.
Shen Li would occasionally look up at Bai Jin, with trust and gratitude in her eyes.
Bai Jin seemed to sense something, and glanced sideways, giving her a reassuring look.
As they gradually approached the village, smoke from cooking fires rose up, as if calling these people who had gone through hardships to return.
On the path down the mountain, Shen Li, Bai Jin and their group were pulling three wild boars and walking slowly. Although the team looked a little tired, they also exuded the atmosphere of returning victoriously.
At this moment, Wang Dashu, an old man from the village who was checking the fields, happened to see this scene. His originally calm face was instantly replaced by shock. His eyes were as big as copper bells, staring at the two carts that were getting farther and farther away and the astonishing "cargo" on the carts. It took him a long time to come back to his senses.
Immediately afterwards, Wang Dashu anxiously took the path next to him and hurriedly ran towards the foundation of the ancestral hall where Shen Shaodong and others were building. He looked so anxious as if he had something earth-shattering to announce.
On the other side, Shen Li directed everyone in an orderly manner and pulled the wild boar to the familiar poplar tree.
Then she turned to Zhao Dali and instructed him to temporarily place the boy in Shen Xuan's room.
She thought to herself that if she arranged the boy to live in the next yard, it would be very inconvenient to take care of him in the future, especially in terms of feeding him spiritual spring water and giving him medicine, which might delay his recovery from his injuries.
Here, Shen Li arranged everything in a clear and orderly manner, showing her efficiency.
Bai Jin stood quietly by, but his thoughts involuntarily drifted back to the scene of his first encounter with Shen Li.
That was the moment when Shen Li and Shen Shaodong, father and daughter, worked together to hunt a wild boar. Her clever and playful appearance, counting on her fingers to calculate the value of the prey, was like a vivid painting, deeply imprinted in Bai Jin's mind, and is still vivid in his mind today.
On the other side of the village, Shen Shaodong was shocked when he heard the news brought by the village elder Wang Dashu, and his face was full of astonishment.
He didn't bother to ask more questions and rushed home anxiously. Along the way, he was full of worries, and all kinds of terrible thoughts kept emerging in his mind, fearing that his precious daughter would encounter an accident.
When he arrived at the big poplar tree panting, and saw his daughter safe and sound, smiling and talking to Bai Jin, his heart finally settled down and he breathed a long sigh of relief.
Behind Shen Shaodong, Shadow Zhao Lin, craftsmen Li Anshun and Zhang Wenbo, and a group of villagers who came to help with the work, saw Shen Shaodong's expression suddenly change, and thought something big had happened. They dropped their work, picked up hoes, shovels and other tools, and ran after him in a hurry.
Shen Li turned her head inadvertently and saw a group of people following her father, holding various tools in their hands and looking anxious.
She was completely confused and said bewilderedly, "Dad, I haven't had time to tell you yet. Are you calling all the butchers here?"
As she spoke, she scratched her head and muttered in increasing confusion, "But this tool isn't the right one either."
