Chapter 197: An unexpected surprise

He really wanted to be alone, but this mother was so annoying. He glanced at the warm sun outside and the sounds of children laughing and playing, then turned around and walked out.

The children were running around, extremely excited. The village chief said they were going to have a pig-killing meal today, and this was the last wave of welfare in the village before the New Year, so everyone was busy.

The pig raised in the village finally reached the end of its life. The pig also felt that its life was in danger. When it saw Zhao Guoliang and Zhu Qingde coming towards it with a hemp rope, it became alert.

As soon as the pigpen door was opened, the pig used all its strength to knock Zhu Qingde over, avoided Zhao Guoliang, and quickly ran out.

"Lao Zhao, the pig ran away, chase it quickly."

Zhu Qingde was so anxious that his eyes turned red. They were originally sent down to the countryside, and raising pigs and shoveling pig manure was their job. After finally raising a pig and getting ready to eat the pork, the pig ran away.

The two of them chased after it quickly, but two legs could never outrun four legs, and the snow on the ground was very thick. Every step they took sank into the snow. They could only watch the pig run towards the mountain.

"It's over."

Zhu Qingde looked at the pig running farther and farther away, sat down on the ground, and burst into tears uncontrollably. He was originally a Chinese medicine practitioner, and his wife was the daughter of a capitalist, and both he and his wife were demoted.

The pampered couple suddenly faced such a big change. They had been trying very hard to adapt to the environment and could no longer withstand any unexpected blows.

"Old Zhu, Old Zhu, don't cry, go find the village chief, I will continue chasing you."

Zhao Guoliang was also anxious, but crying would not solve the problem, so he could only go and talk to the village chief.

So when Zhu Qingde appeared in the threshing ground empty-handed, the bustling threshing ground suddenly became quiet. Li Huan frowned. What happened?

"Village chief, when we opened the pigsty door, the pigs suddenly ran away."

"What? The pig ran away. Where did it go?"

Li Huan was stunned for a moment, but he still had some understanding of the habits of pigs. Although pigs looked very stupid and just ate and slept, animals were extremely sensitive to their own lives.

"He ran towards the other side of the mountain, and Lao Zhao chased him."

"What? Old Zhao is chasing into the mountains."

When Li Huan heard that Zhao Guoliang was running into the mountains, his heart began to tremble. Who would dare to run into the mountains when the mountains were blocked by heavy snow? This old Zhao was really risking his life.

Zhao Xiaobao's face turned pale. If Qian Longkun hadn't held him tightly, he would have probably caught up. In this case, the father-son relationship between Zhao Xiaobao and Zhao Guoliang could no longer be concealed.

Chai Jianmin looked at Zhao Xiaobao and Qian Longkun coldly. He had always had some doubts, but he knew his current situation, so he would not take action unless he was absolutely sure.

The villagers looked at Zhu Qingde with hatred. He was a dead landlord and no wonder he was demoted. He couldn't even take care of a pig. He was wasting rice and flour while alive. He might as well die.

Zhu Qingde felt the villagers' unfriendly looks and trembled with fear. In his eyes, these people were much more terrifying than the wild beasts in the mountains.

He looked at Li Huan with a helping look, hoping that he could be more rational and not blame all the responsibility on him.

Li Huan frowned slightly and asked Zhu Qingde to take a few young men to follow Zhao Guoliang's footsteps towards the mountain, while he went back to get the earthen warehouse.

Cheng Qiao also followed and came to a place five hundred meters away from the pigpen entrance, and sure enough, he saw two sets of footprints, one set going into the mountain, and the other set belonging to Zhu Qingde.

Following the footprints to the foot of the mountain, everyone looked up at the mountain. Apart from some trees around, the higher they looked, the more endless white the snow seemed.

Cheng Qiao's heart trembled. It was such a big mountain. If a pig ran into it, it would basically be eaten by the wild beasts in the mountains. There was no way it would be found. Now he just hoped that the pig was okay.

Li Huan brought the Tumu Cang with him. Except for Wang Xiangyang and a few others, no one was willing to go into the mountains with him. A pig only takes a few bites, and they were not willing to lose their lives for a few bites of meat.

Li Huan snorted coldly, turned around and walked up the mountain. Li's mother wanted to say something, but thinking that Li Huan was now the village chief, she could only watch him go up the mountain.

After waiting at the foot of the mountain for more than half an hour, they were all too cold and went home one after another. Cheng Qiao followed behind and quietly went up the mountain from another path while everyone was not paying attention.

Cheng Qiao was very familiar with this road. She and Ye Jun basically took this road when they went up the mountain to collect herbs. Cheng Qiao looked around and saw that there was no one around, so she took little Cheng Li and disappeared.

Then he fetched a bucket of well water, poured it into a small wooden basin, carried the basin out of the space, chose a place to put the basin on the ground, and quickly returned to the space.

Cheng Qiao knew that the well water in her space was not only useful for plants, but also for animals. For example, the red-headed pit viper would drink a basin of well water every day.

Not long after, Cheng Qiao was surprised to find that her well water did not attract the escaped pig, but instead attracted a snow-white eagle.

The white snow and the eagle are similar in color, so Cheng Qiao didn't pay attention to it at first. But when the eagle flapped its wings and a flurry of snowflakes flew, Cheng Qiao's eyes suddenly narrowed.

Saker Falcon. Last time she and the red-headed pit viper snatched its purple Ganoderma lucidum, this guy actually came looking for it. How could his nose be so sharp?

The Saker Falcon looked around with its sharp eagle eyes, then lowered its head and quickly drank the well water. The taste of this water was better than the purple Ganoderma lucidum that had been stolen.

"Little Red Head, can I go out now? Since it drank my water, it shouldn't attack me."

Cheng Qiao couldn't help getting anxious when she saw the Saker Falcon didn't leave after drinking the water. She didn't want to compete with such a large bird of prey in patience.

The red-headed viper let down all its guard and buried its head in the arms of little Cheng Li, who was sitting on the ground playing with ginseng flowers. Cheng Qiao felt relieved and left the space instantly.

"Hai Dongqing, this is your purple Ganoderma lucidum. I'm returning it to you."

When Haidongqing saw Cheng Qiao suddenly appear, he was shocked and wanted to attack, but he smelled the familiar scent on Cheng Qiao and the purple forest fungus in her hand.

She lowered her head to take a look, turned away in disgust, and Cheng Qiao blushed a little. This was the second-generation purple Ganoderma lucidum cultivated from Ganoderma lucidum spores. It was just the offspring of the purple Ganoderma lucidum that was picked at the beginning.

Seeing that the Saker Falcon had no intention of attacking him, Cheng Qiao took out another bucket of well water and placed it on the ground.

"Don't drink it. I'm going to find a pig. If you drink it, the pig won't be able to smell it and you won't come out."

Saker Falcon tilted its head and looked at Cheng Qiao as if it didn't understand. Cheng Qiao became anxious and took out a pig's head from the space, pointed at the pig's head and said he would lead the pig down the mountain.

The Saker Falcon looked at the Pighead, its eagle eyes flashed again, then it flapped its wings and flew high. The loud and powerful voice of the owl broke through the air and echoed throughout the mountains.
