Aunt Zhang and Yang Qiuyue climbed down the tree one after the other. Aunt Zhang went to find Lin Qingyan first to make sure she was really alright before she went to check on the wild boar.
Her hand touched the wild boar's body, but the boar didn't move at all. She was certain that the wild boar was indeed dead, and completely dead.
Yang Qiuyue also touched the wild boar and couldn't help but praise Lin Qingyan.
"Qingyan, you're amazing!"
Lin Qingyan smiled and said, "Actually, I wasn't very confident that I could kill the wild boar at first. I was just thinking that I could at least drive it away. I didn't expect that I would actually kill it."
Yang Qiuyue seemed to have escaped a disaster. "Qingyan, I really owe you a debt of gratitude. I was about to be knocked down from the tree by a wild boar. If I had fallen to the ground, I would have been crippled even if I hadn't died. I really can't imagine what would have happened if I had encountered another wild boar. Qingyan, you are my savior."
"Sister-in-law Qiuyue, you're exaggerating."
Gu's mother and Lin Sisi also came down from the crooked tree. They were now certain that Lin Qingyan had indeed killed the wild boar.
Aunt Zhang called out to Gu's mother, "Didn't you say you didn't believe Qingyan could kill a wild boar? Come and see if this is a wild boar on the ground."
Mother Gu shook her head and did not go over.
Lin Qingyan looked around at the near-total darkness and said to Zhang Saozi and Yang Qiuyue, "Zhang Saozi, Qiuyue Saozi, this wild boar should weigh about 300 jin. We probably can't carry it down the mountain. You two go down the mountain first. I'll stay here and watch the boar. If you run into my Zhengting on the way up the mountain looking for me, just tell him I'm here."
She completely ignored Gu's mother and Lin Sisi.
"But are you sure you'll be alright here all by yourself?" Aunt Zhang asked, worried.
"It's alright, don't worry, sister-in-law. I can kill a wild boar, what else is there to be afraid of?"
After these people leave, she'll see if she can encounter any more wild boars, kill them, and store them in her spatial storage. That will make it much easier to eat meat in the future.
After hesitating for a while, Zhang's wife and Yang Qiuyue agreed.
They walked ahead, and Gu's mother and Lin Sisi quickly followed, going down the mountain with them.
In the family compound, Lu Zhengting and Battalion Commander Zhang finished work together. When Lu Zhengting got home and didn't see his wife, he started to get anxious.
His wife told him at noon that she was going to pick mushrooms in the mountains with her two other wives in the afternoon. Why hasn't she come back yet? Or did she go somewhere else after she came back?
Where is my wife now?
He couldn't see his wife and was afraid she might be in danger, so his heart clenched with anxiety.
He then went to find Battalion Commander Zhang. Both of Battalion Commander Zhang's children were at home. The children told them that Zhang's wife and the aunt next door had gone to the mountain to pick mushrooms and had not conceived yet.
As it grew dark and the two women still hadn't returned, Battalion Commander Zhang became anxious.
"Old Zhang, let's go find them now, hurry up."
"good."
Battalion Commander Zhang left the two children at home, locked the gate again, and went up the mountain with Lu Zhengting to look for their wives.
Battalion Commander Zhang met Yang Qiuyue's husband, Hu Jianguo. Hu Jianguo was at home, extremely anxious because Yang Qiuyue had not yet returned. Zhang then asked Hu Jianguo to go up the mountain to look for her.
The three of them encountered Feng Yidong on the road, and Lu Zhengting immediately pulled Feng Yidong along, saying, "Come on, let's go up the mountain and help me find your sister-in-law."
"Hasn't your sister-in-law come back from the mountain yet?"
"Nonsense, why would we need to look for them if they're back?"
"Then, what did your sister-in-law go there for?"
"Let's stop talking about picking mushrooms and get going."
They hadn't gone far when they ran into Lin Zhiheng, who was on his way to the cafeteria. Lin Zhiheng was accompanied by Dong Yue.
Seeing Lu Zhengting and Battalion Commander Zhang in such a hurry, Lin Zhiheng rushed over and asked, "Battalion Commander Zhang, brother-in-law, where are you going?"
Lu Zhengting didn't hide anything from him, "Your sister, Sister Zhang, and Sister Hu went up the mountain to pick mushrooms and haven't come back yet. We're just about to go look for them."
"Oh? My sister hasn't come back yet, it's so late. I want to go with you to look for her."
He quickly went to ask Dong Yue for leave, "Company Commander Dong, my sister hasn't come back from picking mushrooms on the mountain yet. I need to go with my brother-in-law to find her."
Dong Yue said, "It's indeed a bit dangerous that the person hasn't returned from the mountain yet. Let me go with you to look for them."
"Thank you, Company Commander."
"Let's go."
Lu Zhengting was just thinking of finding two more people to help them find his wife and Aunt Zhang. Since Dong Yue was willing to help, how could he refuse?
The five of them went up the mountain together. When they passed the dormitory, Feng Yidong and Dong Yue went back to the dormitory to get flashlights so that they could light the way after dark.
They encountered Gu Mingzhou before they even reached the foot of the mountain.
Gu Mingzhou noticed that they seemed to be heading up the mountain. Lu Zhengting and Lin Zhiheng were both there. Were they also going up the mountain to look for someone? Was Lin Qingyan also on the mountain?
When he went home for lunch, his mother and Lin Sisi both said they were going to pick mushrooms on the mountain in the afternoon. When he got home and didn't see them, he decided to go up the mountain to look for them.
He asked the group, "Are you going up the mountain to look for someone?"
Battalion Commander Zhang nodded. "Are you going up the mountain too?"
"Yeah, my mom and Sisi both went. I'll go find them, and we can all go together."
"Okay, let's go."
On the mountain, after the four people left, Lin Qingyan wanted to continue hunting wild boars.
She waited for a while, but didn't see any other wild boars. Since the wild boars weren't showing up on their own, she had to find a way to lure them out.
Wild boars love to eat things like corn, sweet potatoes, sweet potato vines, and nuts.
She immediately entered the space, took out a few corn cobs and a handful of sweet potato vines, and placed them outside.
