Seeing that he was no longer asking questions, Shen Mu Ning then asked them.

"By the way, have you been deep in the mountains all day?"

"No, I went into the mountains around noon. Anyway, the work these days is so varied and the work points are so few, it's better to go hunting in the mountains."

After hearing Zhang Jiayang's answer, she nodded knowingly.

The autumn harvest is just around the corner, and there really isn't much work that pays out of work points right now.

Moreover, Chu Mingxu's grandparents will also be involved in the autumn harvest, and their work will be even heavier.

So they probably want to take advantage of this time to give the two elderly people more nourishing food and try to improve their health.

"Alright, are you still going hunting, or are you going back?" Shen Mu Ning picked up the basket she had placed aside earlier.

She was preparing to go back, since she was almost at the edge of the deep mountains anyway.

"Let's go back together," Chu Mingxu answered before Zhang Jiayang could speak.

Although they still had prey in the trap, they had only followed these two larger wild boars here.

But if we deal with it now, we won't be able to take those things back, so it's better to just go back with her now.

Otherwise, wouldn't his hunting and theft of prey be blatantly exposed to her?

If they leave now, they can still say that their prey was these two wild boars.

Shen Mu Ning nodded indifferently, but then asked, "What should we do with the wild boar on the ground?"

She stuck out her foot and kicked the enormous thing on the ground. "What do we do now?"

The three of them fell silent for a moment, all thinking at the same time that it would be great if the other party wasn't here, then they could have dealt with the wild boar as they pleased.

But since the three of them are here, they can't do whatever they want.

"Well, since you're the one who killed him, you can handle it."

Chu Mingxu offered his opinion, and Zhang Jiayang quickly nodded in agreement.

They chased the two wild boars because they didn't fall into their trap and escaped.

Ultimately, however, the wild boar was killed entirely by Shen Mu Ning, so it was naturally up to her to decide.

Shen Mu Ning stared at the pig's flesh with heartache for a while before asking Chu Ming Xu.

"If someone in the brigade hunts such a large game, how do they handle it?"

When Chu Mingxu heard her ask that question, he knew that she wanted to hand over the meat.

"The materials will be handed over to the brigade, and the brigade leader and secretary will distribute them."

Therefore, her decision was to take them back and distribute them to the entire brigade.

It wasn't that she was particularly generous, but with these two people in her way, she couldn't keep everything to herself.

She used the surrounding trees to make a makeshift support, tied the wild boar to it, and prepared to drag it back.

Chu Mingxu helped with the work, and when he saw her preparing to drag it herself, he quickly stopped her.

"How about the two of us do the dragging?" Two grown men really couldn't let her do the hard labor all by herself.

Shen Mu Ning refused, but not completely. Because these two ignored her opinion and started hitting her directly.

However, she didn't want to have all that energy but leave the two of them to do all the work.

So, as a result of each side compromising, Shen Mu Ning and Chu Ming Xu dragged the wild boar, while Zhang Jia Yang helped her carry the basket on her back.

This way, everyone has something to do, and there's no sense of guilt.

All three were skilled fighters, and even though they were dragging a wild boar weighing over 300 pounds, it didn't affect their speed.

Finally, at six o'clock in the afternoon, they dragged the wild boar out of the forest.

As soon as they came out, the three of them attracted the keen attention of several little kids.

"Sister Chen, is this the wild boar you hunted?" It turned out to be Gu Xiaohu and his children, who were on their way home to wait for dinner.

The condition for them to be able to come out and play every day is that they have to be obedient.

They must not go to places that adults forbid them to go, and they must come home for dinner on time every day.

Otherwise, not only will they not be allowed to leave the house, but they will also be given a meal of stir-fried bamboo shoots with meat.

When Shen Mu Ning saw Gu Xiao Hu, she quickly asked him for help.

"Little Tiger, can you do me a favor?"

"Go find your grandfather first and arrange for someone to slaughter the pig at the drying ground, okay?"

Shen Mu Ning had asked Chu Ming Xu before, and they said that they always dried the pigs in the dam after slaughtering them every year.

So they were planning to have Zhang Jiayang put down his basket before going to find the brigade leader.

However, now that we've met the helpful Gu Xiaohu, things aren't so troublesome anymore.

"Okay, then will my sister give me candy?" Gu Xiaohu knew that the meat would be shared with his family, but he also wanted to eat candy.

Shen Mu Ning smiled helplessly: "Here you go, but I don't have it with me. Come and get it from me tomorrow, okay?"

Gu Xiaohu agreed without hesitation, since he didn't think Sister Shen seemed like a liar.

Grandma often praises her at home, so she wouldn't renege on her candy, would she?

Driven by the candy, Gu Xiaohu's friend ran off quickly to find the brigade leader.

As for the other children, they naturally followed closely behind Shen Mu Ning, as they were more craving meat.

Zhang Jiayang realized that they no longer needed him, so he went back to the educated youth settlement ahead of them.

Along the way, Chu Mingxu and Shen Muling thoroughly experienced the warmth and hospitality of the Xinshan Brigade.

They left the mountains at six o'clock, the time when they finished work.

So on their way to the drying ground, they encountered many people who were heading home after work.

The moment the two men appeared dragging the pig, everyone's intense gaze was drawn to the wild boar.

You should know that the Johor Bahru brigade can receive three to five piglets every year.

After the brigade raises the meat, they must hand over 300 jin of meat to the commune, and the rest will be distributed among the entire brigade.

However, in Lingbei, there are nearly four months of hibernation, during which pigs cannot withstand the cold.
