"Brother Pig, how about we make a deal?" Su Hua's face was splattered with wild boar saliva, and the stench was overwhelming. She forced a smile. "Brother Pig, you seem hungry too. What would you like to eat? I'll go find it for you..."

Before Su Hua could finish speaking, the wild boar bared its tusks and bit her.

"Damn it!" Su Hua lightly touched the ground with her toes and dodged the attack.

Immediately, he threw a powerful punch.

'Thud—' The fist slammed into the wild boar's mouth, and one of its tusks snapped off at the root.

Su Hua seized the opportunity and threw two more powerful punches, but the same fists that had once knocked out Green Eyes were only enough to slow down the wild boar's movements and cause a small patch of its face to collapse.

Let alone killing him, they couldn't even knock him unconscious.

"Ouch... Ouch... Ouch!" The wild boar roared in pain, its pointed snout and fierce face turning even more menacing, its large, copper-bell-sized eyes slowly turning vertically.

It was clearly the prelude to an outburst of anger.

Su Hua dared not stay any longer and ran off into the mountains.

As it ran, it tried to use the water droplet to make a deal with it. "Brother Pig, you were the one who wanted to fight me. I was just acting in self-defense. I really didn't mean to damage your beautiful teeth. I have something delicious to eat. How about we trade?"

Now is not the time to feel sorry for the water droplets.

However, the wild boar glanced at the water droplets on Su Hua's hand, and its eyes gleamed even more fiercely.

Its four long, large hooves seemed to be riding on wheels of fire, and its only remaining tusk was pressed close to Su Hua's back.

In just a moment, he could bite Su Hua directly.

A two-legged person is no match for a four-legged ferocious creature.

Su Hua noticed the sharp teeth on her back, closed her eyes tightly, and was about to roll directly off the cliff.

A tall, elegant figure suddenly appeared before her, gently pulling her hand back.

He held a cedar branch that he had picked up from somewhere in his right hand.

It was inserted only shallowly forward.

"Pfft!"

It was the sound of flesh being pierced.

Immediately afterwards, there was the sound of dripping water.

The smell of blood gradually rose.

As Su Hua turned around, she saw the once majestic wild boar lying on the ground with a thud. A fir branch was stuck diagonally in its fierce neck, and drops of bright red blood dripped down, staining its dark fur black and red. Its vertical pupils were filled with shock and resentment.

"Thank you, Young Master Xiao." Su Hua swallowed hard.

If Xiao Jinhan hadn't arrived in time, she would have been seriously injured, if not swallowed by the wild boar.

"It's nothing, a small matter." The boy waved his hand, turned and left, but he still couldn't put any weight on his right leg.

If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that he had killed the wild boar with just a gentle thrust.

"A trivial matter?" Su Hua hesitated for a moment, glancing at the dead wild boar on the ground. "Young Master Xiao, please wait. You haven't taken your wild boar with you yet."

Xiao Jinhan paused slightly, without turning his head, and said, "This is your wild boar."

"Huh?" Su Hua was even more puzzled.

Such a large wild boar must weigh at least 300 pounds.

She wasn't familiar with the wild boar meat market, but previously wild rabbits were 25 coins per pound.

This fat wild boar is worth at least several taels of silver.

Wasn't he kicked out of the Xiao family and left penniless?

Isn't this much silver just the right amount to solve our immediate problem? Why wouldn't we take it?

“Before I arrived, this wild boar had already been half-dead by Miss Su.” Xiao Jinhan turned around, walked to the wild boar’s side, and pointed to the collapsed area. “On the boar’s head, all three skull bones are broken. Even without me replacing this branch, it wouldn’t have lived much longer. This wild boar should rightfully belong to the young lady.”

Su Hua looked up at the sound and saw only a piece of collapsed flesh.

The rest is unclear.

In her past life, she studied anatomy but had never dissected something as big as a pig.

“Even so, you get half of this wild boar.” Su Hua sighed softly. “How about this, we’ll carry the wild boar down first, and whether it’s dividing the pork or selling it for money, we’ll split it 50/50, how about that?”

There are such honest people in this world!

No wonder they were devoured by the Xiao family, leaving not even bones behind. Not only were their military pay and rewards stolen, but they also ended up with nowhere to go.

Having such good things now, what's wrong with just handing them over to others?

"No need, I don't know how to cook pork, and I'm afraid of the trouble." Xiao Jinhan glanced at Su Hua, a hint of a smile in his deep eyes. "If Miss Su is willing, how about I have a few meals at your house as payment for this pork?"

"Eat?" Su Hua's lips twitched.

This half-pig can feed us for many meals.

It would probably take a year to finish eating them all.

This person actually wants to use half a pig to pay for several meals?

Could it be that the cooking skills are truly too amazing to eat?

“Alright.” Su Hua looked at his face, and thinking about how he had saved her again today, she couldn’t bring herself to refuse. “It’s just that the food at home is simple and may not suit Young Master Xiao’s taste. Please don’t mind it.”

"No." Xiao Jinhan's lips curled slightly.

This was the first time Su Hua had seen him smile. His smile had a beauty reminiscent of snow melting in early spring.

Su Hua shook her head and was about to carry the big wild boar.

Calls came from all directions.

"Hua'er, Hua'er, how are you?"

"Hua'er, if you hear us, just say hello, we're coming."

"Auntie, where are you? We've come with knives and hoes to hunt wild boars..."

Su Hua turned around and saw Su Baishi leading Su Dahu and several others running over from the other side of the hillside, followed by a large group of villagers.

"Mother, I'm here!" The girl smiled and raised her voice considerably.

When I fought the wild boar earlier, I ran a distance towards Fuhu Mountain. Now, I am not far from the fern forest where I caught the wild rabbit last time.

In the blink of an eye, the Su family arrived.

"Hua'er, how are you? Are you alright?" Madam Su Bai's face was deathly pale as she looked Su Hua up and down, tears streaming down her face. "It's all my fault. I didn't protect Hua'er well enough. She couldn't even fight off a wild boar..."

"Mother—" Su Hua looked at the woman whose clothes were torn to shreds and whose face and hands were covered in wounds, and her nose tingled with tears. "Mother, I'm fine. Look, I'm not hurt at all. The wild boar has been killed and can't harm us anymore."

"Really?" Su Bai hesitated, looking in the direction Su Hua pointed.

Upon seeing the large wild boar lying motionless on the ground, I felt all the breath I had been holding in suddenly deflate completely.

Suddenly, his eyes rolled back and he fainted.
