The other men were still in the tree. Two of them, having seen the situation clearly, climbed down early, but they had only just landed and were unarmed.

It takes three adult men to barely subdue a wild boar.

But in front of Chen Yourun were two adult wild boars.

Yin Lan stared intently, her heart pounding in her throat.

"No...no!" she cried out in her heart.

But the wild boar had already charged towards him.

"puff!"

The next second, the sound of a knife piercing flesh rang out, and a wild boar in front of Chen Yourun fell down.

Meanwhile, the other one was already charging towards him.

Chen Yourun dodged to the side, and the wild boar missed its target. It quickly stopped, turned its head, and charged at him again with a fierce look in its eyes.

Chen Yourun pulled the machete that had been stuck in the wild boar's chest out. Almost the next second, the wild boar pounced on him, and the man and the boar began to wrestle.

Yin Lan was extremely anxious.

The remaining men also rushed over to help.

As they approached, the wild boar lay on Chen Yourun's body and gradually stopped moving, while a large pool of blood slowly spread across the ground.

"Chen Yourun!" Yin Lan rushed over, somewhat incredulous.

Was he in trouble? Was he injured? Or did the wild boar kill him...? She dared not imagine the possibility.

Then, the heavy, already dying wild boar was pushed aside, and Chen Yourun below, panting heavily, struggled to sit up.

Everyone breathed a huge sigh of relief.

Seeing that he was alright, Yin Lan's tense nerves slowly relaxed, but then she felt a lump in her throat.

Chen Yourun was covered in wild boar blood and looked utterly disheveled.

He left the wild boar to others to deal with, and the first thing he saw was Yin Lan. He walked over and looked at her reddened eyes, saying, "I'm fine, look."

"Who told you to go down?" Yin Lan was still a little scared, so she became very angry.

"I'm used to it. I only went down when I was sure I was safe. Everything's fine now, right?"

He wanted to hug her, but the scene was filled with men. Although everyone was immediately dealing with the wild boar, fearing that the smell of blood would attract other wild animals, they had to finish the treatment quickly and then take it down the mountain.

Moreover, he was covered in blood and was filthy.

Chen Yourun raised his hand, and in the end, he could only gently touch her cheek with the back of his clean hand.

Yin Lan glanced at him, then moved closer.

"dirty."

Before Chen Yourun could finish speaking, Yin Lan had already wrapped her arms around his waist and hugged him.

Chen Yourun hugged him back with a mixture of helplessness and affection, "I'll wash your clothes when we get back."

Yin Lan sniffed, "It was you who was supposed to wash it."

Then she turned her head away and ignored him.

The harvest was enormous, with a total of twenty wild boars, the smaller ones weighing over 100 jin (50 kg) and the larger ones weighing around 200 jin (100 catties).

Including Yin Lan, there are only twelve people in total. It is an extremely difficult task to carry out the night mission.

So Chen Yourun made the decision to send the fastest person down the mountain immediately to notify more people to come, because it was definitely impossible to carry so many wild boars by manpower alone.

"Cut down the trees," Chen Yourun ordered.

Then they cut down dozens of trees of similar size, made them into thick sticks, placed them on the road, and then carried the wild boar up them.

Because it was on a mountain and the road was sloping downhill, the wild boar was placed on a thick wooden stick. As the stick rolled, the wild boar was moved along with it, like a very primitive conveyor belt.

There are four people on each side, and four people in front and behind. When a wooden stick becomes available at the back, people immediately move it to the front, allowing this "conveyor chain" to continue operating under human intervention.

In this way, although the speed was not very fast, the wild boar was at least transported away.

Everyone felt the same way: these wild boars were all meat, and no one wanted to give up a single one.

The men were all handpicked, so the entire journey proceeded very smoothly.

"Thank goodness Chen Yourun is back, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to come up with such a good idea."

"Yes, you're really smart."

Chen Yourun was also modest, saying, "I just saw someone doing something similar when I was out there, and I just copied what they did. If you had seen it before, you would have been able to figure it out."

His words made everyone's already good impression of him even better.

Moreover, he killed two wild boars all by himself; how can one not admire him?

"This thing can only travel a short distance. The road narrows down and there are more trees, so we can't use this method anymore," Chen Yourun explained in advance.

However, he calculated that by the time he arrived at that place, the villagers would probably have arrived by then as well.

Sure enough, as the road below began to narrow, figures appeared in the distance.

It's them!

"Wild boar!"

So many wild boars!

Thirty men from the village came, which was more than enough to lift the wild boar. And since it was all meat, everyone was in high spirits and had inexhaustible strength.

As soon as they returned to the village, the news spread. The villagers were astonished to learn that twenty wild boars had been killed, and everyone's face was beaming with joy.

Everyone had a winter of tightening their belts, and as soon as the winter was over, there was so much meat, and every household could share it.

So the whole village was filled with joy and celebration, even more lively than during the Lunar New Year.

The distribution of pork this time was similar to the last time.

However, the village head said that Yin Lan and Chen Yourun should receive a larger share.

Chen Yourun killed two wild boars all by himself!

Everyone was already terrified just hearing about it, so having more is perfectly acceptable.

Moreover, everyone in the slaughtering team said that if it weren't for Yin's well-timed commands, they definitely wouldn't have been able to slaughter so many pigs this time.

The first time was successful because of Yin Lan; the second time, she didn't go and failed; but this time she went and actually brought back twenty heads.

With more meat, people's doubts about Yin Lan disappeared, and naturally, they had no objections.

As for the other pig offal, Yin Lan said she wanted it all and was willing to pay for it.

No one else argued with her about these things. After all, everyone knew that Madam Yin's offal was delicious, but they themselves couldn't make it. So, everyone preferred the meat.

The village head was very honest and offered very reasonable prices.

This money will be used as public funds for the village.

There were offal from twenty pigs, plus forty catties of pork from Chen Yourun and thirty catties from Yin Lan, totaling seventy catties. The offal from each pig averaged more than twenty catties, so the offal from twenty pigs totaled five or six hundred catties.

They were piled up there, looking almost like a small mountain.

The villagers also volunteered to help carry the things to Yin Lan's house. With so many things, it would have taken them a long time to carry them all by themselves.
