"Many people went into the mountains to hunt today."

To avoid being overheard by the parties involved, Liu Aiying quickly changed the subject, saying, "I don't know if we can hunt any wild animals. The other day they only brought back a few pheasants and rabbits."

"Going up the mountain in winter is too painful."

Yang Shujue shook her head, "I would never go up the mountain in winter, even if you killed me."

“You definitely don’t want to go up the mountain.”

Liu Qingqing smiled and said, "The young people in the village are different. They are used to going up the mountain to hunt during their free time in winter. Whether or not they can catch wild animals, going to the mountains more often will always bring some rewards."

This is a custom passed down in our village. I heard the older folks are afraid that in a year of famine, everyone will go hungry. If they don't even have the ability to hunt, they'll truly starve to death.

"This is the wisdom of the elderly."

Lin Jingyu nodded gently, "Although going up the mountain in winter is tough, when there is a real shortage of food and clothing, hunting in the mountains is also a way to survive."

"That's true when there's no other way."

Yang Shujue's curiosity was piqued. "Aiying, Qingqing, are there tigers, wolves, and bears on this mountain?"

"There seem to be wolves."

Liu Qingqing responded, "Someone saw the wolf, but luckily escaped unharmed."

I've heard the old man mention tigers and bears, but I haven't heard of them in recent years.

I guess the tiger and bear left this place and went to some deep forest somewhere.

"That scary?"

Peng Shiyu's face turned slightly pale. "If we encounter tigers and bears on the mountain, I'm afraid no one will come back alive."

"If you run into them, they definitely can't escape."

Liu Aiying smiled and said, "But we don't need to be afraid. There are no more ferocious beasts on the mountain. What's scary are wolves and wild boars."

"It's better without these ferocious beasts."

Yang Shujue said, "Otherwise, who would dare to go up the mountain in the future?"

"Under normal circumstances, wild animals will not attack people on their own initiative."

Lin Jingyu picked up the conversation, "Unless humans attack first, or the ferocious beasts are extremely hungry, they will not attack humans on their own initiative."

Furthermore, this area of ​​the mountain behind our village is frequented by our villagers year-round, so wild animals won't easily come here."

"Teacher Lin is right."

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from inside.

The girls then realized that the village chief and others had appeared in the guest hall at some point.

Lin Jingyu immediately stood up and greeted them, "Uncle Village Chief, Uncle Accountant, Captain, please come in quickly."

"I never expected that Teacher Lin would know about this."

Accountant Liu said with a smile, "These kinds of things are only known to us old folks. It's really remarkable that Teacher Lin, who comes from the city, also knows about them."

"You flatter me, Uncle Accountant."

Lin Jingyu responded modestly, "I only heard about it from my elders, and I'm just repeating what they said here. It's nothing to mention."

"Young people these days don't like to listen to advice from older people."

Captain Zhang laughed and continued, "Only Teacher Lin understands the saying, 'Those who don't heed the advice of elders will suffer the consequences.'"

"Captain, you're making fun of me too."

Lin Jingyu smiled and shook her head, "I'm just a little girl, and I hope to have more opportunities to hear advice from you elders in the future."

Yang Shujue added, "Yes, we younger folks don't know anything. Please remind us more in the future, Uncle Village Chief."

As Yang Shujue joined the conversation, Peng Shiyu and the others also spoke up.

He Zhenhua and others arrived quickly.

So everyone sat down together and started chatting.

Set up three tables.

Men sat at two tables, and women sat at one table.

Just enough seats for everyone.

There were only eight dishes served, all of which contained meat.

It can be said that it is full of sincerity.

Everyone enjoyed the meal.

Just as everyone was preparing to say goodbye and leave...

Suddenly, screams and shouts came from afar.

The crowd couldn't help but look at each other in bewilderment.

Those who weren't present spoke up.

The shouts grew louder and louder, and everyone could hear what they were saying.

"The wild boar is coming."

"Help! Several wild boars are chasing us down the mountain!"

"Everyone run! The wild boar is coming!"

"Quickly, save him! Someone is injured on the mountain! Go back to the village and get help! Go save him!"

"I've hit someone! Help!"

...

These sounds kept coming, and the expressions on the faces of everyone present changed repeatedly.

The village chief's face, in particular, was extremely grim.

"Let's go out and take a look quickly."

When Captain Zhang heard his son's voice, he couldn't stay still any longer.

Accountant Liu was equally alarmed, knowing that his two sons had also gone up the mountain with him.

"Don't just stand there."

The village chief quickly calmed down and instructed several young male educated youths, "Hurry up and bring some things to help us get this person out of the water."

After saying that, he quickly left.

Su Jingtian and the others quickly grabbed their weapons.

Hoe, machete, kitchen knife...

Find everything that is potentially lethal.

"Jingyu, shall we go out and take a look too?"

Yang Shujue couldn't resist any longer; she wanted to watch the excitement. "Let's be careful and just stand at the door and watch, without getting too close to the scene."

"I want to go out."

Liu Qingqing looked flustered and said as she walked, "My dad and the others went. I don't know how my dad is doing."

Peng Shiyu and Mu Qiuyue both looked at Lin Jingyu, waiting for her to make a decision.

"Let's go, let's see how things are going."

Lin Jingyu followed them outside, saying, "But you have to be careful. Remember, if you see anything wrong, run back immediately and lock the door."
