Chapter 126 Group Hunting

Zhou Hansheng immediately changed his words: "That's not what I meant. Then, let's go together. I will protect you."

Zhong Jing couldn't help but glance at him, with a half-smile in his eyes and full of ridicule: Oh my, it's really rare for someone to say that!

"Thank you, Brother Zhou!" Zhao Liya felt a sweet sensation in her heart, but she didn't harbor any wishful thoughts. She felt that Brother Zhou was simply reassuring her as a guide. However, she couldn't help but indulge her wishful thinking for a moment, to cheer herself up. After all, it was just a thought, not a violation of the law, and it wouldn't cause any trouble for him. It's all about actions, not intentions, right?

Zhong Jing immediately became very interested and wanted to ask more questions, but was interrupted by Zhou Hansheng.

"This matter won't be cleared up in a short time. Since we're going to Hainan Island, we need to prepare everything. Let's discuss it later. There's still plenty of time."

At least we have to leave after the New Year.

Zhong Jing thought so too, and ended the topic with a chuckle.

After a night, Zhong Jing returned home at dawn the next day.

He had to hurry up and arrange the delivery of the sugar, which required both efficiency and speed, as well as confidentiality. This required careful and detailed planning.

After confirming the trip to Hainan, Zhao Liya consulted Yu Xiaofang again and asked Yu Xiaofang to help make some medicines to prevent miasma, poisonous snakes, insects and ants, as well as antidotes, and medicines to treat diarrhea, unknown swelling, fever, trauma, etc.

She asked him to do everything she could think of, and asked him to help with what he could do. If he couldn't do it, she would tell Zhou Hansheng and ask him to find a way to purchase some.

The geographical features of this era were very different from the modern society she was familiar with, and she believed that Hainan Island should be similar.

She really knew where there were large areas of wild rosewood growing, but it was really dangerous in the deep mountains and old forests in its original state.

It is better to be prepared.

Yu Xiaofang is a curious baby with an overflowing curiosity. Zhao Liya wants so many medicines at once, so he must get to the bottom of it. In his words, otherwise he will not be able to concentrate on preparing the medicinal materials.

Zhao Liya was speechless. Since he was one of her own, she told him.

This was a big deal. Yu Xiaofang was excited. "Take me with you! I've wanted to go there for a long time, but I never had the chance! I can make all the medicines you mentioned, and I guarantee that the effects of my medicines are far greater than what you can buy! Besides, isn't it better to have a doctor like me with you? It will make people feel more at ease, right?"

"It's definitely worth taking me with you!"

Zhao Liya: “.”

"I'll discuss this with Brother Zhou and the others. This matter must be kept confidential and cannot be disclosed to anyone."

"Okay, okay, I'll get ready!"

“.”

Zhao Liya thought to herself, I haven’t agreed yet, you are definitely using moral kidnapping on me!

However, reason told him that it would be a good idea to take Yu Xiaofang with him.

When I told Zhou Hansheng about this, he smiled and said, "I was originally planning to find a reliable doctor to work with me. This is even better."

Yu Xiaofang himself is a fugitive, so he will never tell this to anyone, otherwise he will be punished. Keeping it confidential saves trouble.

The family was lively and cheerful with so many people at home. Zhao Liya originally planned to buy a New Year pig and kill it, then invite all the acquaintances to enjoy the pig-killing dishes, so that they could have fresh pork to eat during the New Year, and also have two barbecues, which was lively and enjoyable.

But Zhou Hansheng suggested that they go into the mountains to hunt.

There are many wild boars in the mountains and they are not difficult to find.

If you are lucky, you can hunt other prey.

The winter in Lingnan is not as cold as in the north. Although it is cold in the morning and evening, if it is a windy and rainy day without the sun, people will be frozen to the point of shivering hands and feet. However, most of the time, life is still quite comfortable.

It is actually very suitable to go hunting in the mountains at this time of year.

There are no mosquitoes, snakes or ants, and it is not too hot to travel in the mountains.

Zhao Liya was very excited, and Lin Mo also happily agreed to join in.

He would go into the mountains at this time of year in previous years, and this year was no exception. During this time of year, many gentry and landlords were very generous, and the prey could be sold at a good price.

Zhou Hansheng smiled and said, "Since we're going, ask the villagers if anyone wants to join us. Why don't we go wild boar hunting?"

Lin Mo smiled and said, "Brother Zhou, you're an expert right away. That's fine! Then let's ask!"

There are many wild boars in the mountains, and wild boar groups are easy to find and reproduce very quickly.

As long as you find the wild boar herd, set up traps, make proper arrangements, and lead the strong and obedient villagers to hunt together, there will be no problem at all.

The people who went hunting last time knew how powerful the Zhao family's friend, the young man surnamed Zhou, was. Although no one had seen him compete with Lin Mo, everyone subconsciously felt that his skills must be no weaker than Lin Mo, and might even be a little stronger.

His close followers are all very capable.

Following them, along with Lin Mo's cousins, Hu Ling and Zhao Liya, there's no loss no matter how you look at it; it's an advantage no matter how you look at it.

Sit tight in the fishing boat.

Those who went hunting together last time rushed to express their desire to go.

Together with a few other people, a huge team of more than 40 people was organized.

Everyone made preparations first. Lin Mo took Zhao Nan and two or three others into the mountains to explore the way and look for a group of wild boars, and then led everyone into the mountains to dig traps.

Lin Mo was very familiar with the forest, so he easily found a herd of wild boars. There were quite a few of them, estimated to be around sixty or seventy.

Most of them are adult wild boars.

If we can catch twenty or thirty, it will be enough for everyone to share.

When they came back, they talked about it. The next day, everyone went into the mountains happily, carrying hatchets and sickles around their waists, hoes, ropes and wooden sticks.

There is strength in numbers. Everyone was busy digging holes, cutting vines to set traps, and tying trip ropes.

Zhou Hansheng, Hu Ling, Lin Mo and others would not let Zhao Liya do such heavy work, and even they themselves would mostly just give instructions.

Technical work is more important and more critical than physical work, and no villager has any objection.

Anyone who might have objections didn't come.

Wild boars are naturally violent and ferocious. It would certainly take a lot of effort to capture so many of them.

Everyone worked until the afternoon and went home, then came back early the next morning to continue working. After three days of hard work, they finally got everything arranged.

Zhaonan and Yu Xiaofang took six people to drive the wild boars to the place where the traps were set. Lin Mo, Zhou Hansheng and others led the villagers to wait at various locations.

Zhao Liya felt that she could handle it on her own, but Zhou Hansheng took the initiative to let her stay with him from the beginning.

Zhao Liya was so happy that she could not wait to do so. So she happily stayed with Zhou Hansheng.
