Previously, they were only concerned with preventing the wild boars from smelling bad, but now they are facing another problem.

This question stumped several people who had been working tirelessly, and they rejected many of the solutions they had come up with.

"If all else fails, we can take some back first, and ask them to keep the rest for us until we go into the mountains again."

"Sigh, thankfully we distributed so much meat before, otherwise it would have been an even bigger headache. I never thought we'd be troubled by having too much meat one day."

"What's bothering you?" Si Cheng happened to walk over and saw them sitting there sighing.

"Brother Cheng, are you done with your work?" Wu Yong and the others quickly stood up.

"We're done with our work, but it's still early here for you guys." Si Cheng looked at the wild boars still laid out on the side.

"We were just talking about this. We cut the meat into pieces and baked it, but it's not convenient to take it back tomorrow like that."

Si Cheng forgot about this issue for a moment. Last time, he and Yun Qi had the space as a backup, so he didn't think about these things.

"Let's pack it up first. In a moment, let's try to dry the meat a bit more so that the weight will be reduced."

"But we don't have enough containers to store them. I wonder if Chief Wu and the others would mind keeping them for us for a while?" Wu Yong said, referring to their previous plan.

"If it's not a problem in the short term, then it's fine. But we don't know when we'll be able to go back up the mountain. If it goes on for too long, there will be many variables, and then both sides will be entangled in complicated matters."

Although there was another option—to give them the wild boar meat that couldn't be taken back—no one was willing to part with it and no one suggested it. After all, they could exchange it for a lot more odds and ends in the city.

“You all brought backpacks this time, right? Pack all these things into your backpacks, as much as you can.” Si Cheng actually thought of a solution. “Wu Yong, you take two people and continue to handle things here. The rest of you come with me outside to cut some bamboo. We’ll use the vines to make some stretchers, so two people can carry more back.”

"That's a good idea. We should cut down as many vines as possible and tie them up securely so that we won't lose them while we're on our journey." Yun Jianying grabbed the machete he had previously untied and looked ready to get to work.

Si Cheng glanced at Yun Jianying and suddenly remembered a question, "What about those wild boar piglets? Didn't I tell you to go find food for them?"

“I gave them to Amon. He can find some goat milk, so I asked his family to help take care of them. I really can’t do that kind of work.” Yun Jianying also remembered that he hadn’t told Brother Cheng about this yet.

"Since that's the case, go over and ask them later if they're interested in keeping those wild boar piglets. If they are, give them to them."

After saying this, he looked at the villagers of Pinghe Village present and said, "These wild boar piglets are still too young, and it will take us several days to get back from here. If they are willing to raise them, then let them stay. At least there is a chance that they can survive."

Everyone knows that what Cheng Ge said next was his explanation to them.

Wu Yongxian stated, "Let's try our best to persuade them to stay. There are already enough wild boars in the ditch behind our mountain, and even if we take them back, they might not survive."

"Yes, this pork is already enough to trouble us. If we bring back some hungry wild boar piglets, we won't be able to find food for them along the way."

"I really didn't think of this until we brought it up. Even if we take them back, there's nowhere to get milk or anything like that for them to drink along the way." Yun Jianying then remembered that he had foolishly made an appointment with Amon to pick up the piglets the next day.

"Now that everyone has an idea, let's cut down the bamboo as soon as possible and then send someone over to ask Chief Wu and the others later."

Seeing that no one had any objections, Si Cheng led them toward the exit. It was already getting dark, but luckily they had brought an incandescent light bulb with them, which would come in handy.

"Village Chief Si, are we still planning to go out? It's already dark outside, it's not safe to go out at this time." Captain Xiao set up camp here tonight, so he can also keep an eye on the security situation here.

"We just want to go out and cut some bamboo to make a few stretchers, otherwise it will be difficult to take those dried meats back tomorrow. The bamboo grove is not far ahead, we won't go far," Si Cheng explained, knowing the other party's good intentions.

"Then you must be careful. If anything happens, shout for help." Although Captain Xiao knew that the other party was capable, he still couldn't help but give them more instructions.

"Village Chief Si," Wang Zili interrupted Si Cheng just as he was about to say something to Captain Xiao.

"Could we go out with you and cut some bamboo? We'd like to make some stretchers so we can better carry the three of them back." Wang Zili had been keeping an eye on them ever since they came from Sicheng, and when he heard about stretchers, he thought this was a perfect solution for them.

Without consulting anyone else, he pulled several villagers over.

"Then let's go out together, but stay close and don't wander off." Si Cheng also thought it would be good for them to make a few stretchers, otherwise the corpse would start to smell bad in the next day or two, making it even harder to move.

Si Cheng and Yun Qi wandered around this area for several days and became very familiar with all the plants in the vicinity. Soon, they brought back a large bunch of bamboo and a large pile of vines.

"Brother, what should we eat tonight? How about we make some seafood soup and some dry rations?" Yun Heng felt a little hungry, but he didn't have much of an appetite looking at such a big pile of meat.

"Easy, see if you want some barbecue. I have some barbecue seasoning here." Si Cheng remembered that his wife had put a packet of seasoning in his bag before she left home; it was a seasoning she had mixed herself.

"Did my sister make this herself? Does it contain cumin and chili powder?" Yun Heng couldn't help but salivate at the thought of the long-lost taste of barbecue.

"I really don't know, go check it out yourself." Si Cheng took out the bag of seasoning from his bag and tossed it to him.

Yun Heng carefully took the seasoning, unwrapped the layers of packaging, and brought it to his nose. The familiar aroma immediately captivated him.

"This is the taste! I'm in for a treat today." Yun Heng started picking through the pile of meat, feeling that no part of it was worthy of the seasoning.

"It would be perfect if there were some beef or mutton at this time. I just feel that this rough wild boar meat doesn't go well with it." Yun Heng became more and more dissatisfied as he looked at it.

"It's good enough to have something to eat, why are you dreaming of such a good thing?" Liu Fengya saw that he hadn't made a choice after so long, so he simply did it himself.
