Lu Zhixia saw that the man walked very fast, and after only a few steps, he disappeared into the grove and could no longer be seen.
Then she slowly sat down, reached out and rubbed her shoulders, and then opened the bag to look at the ginseng.
Once I confirmed that it was still the same as before, I felt relieved.
After finding the ginseng, she and Bai Ying discussed putting it in a bag close to their bodies, and put the lunchbox in her basket.
I miss my homemade flatbread so much, with some pickled vegetable shreds inside. I wish I could have a bite of it.
Gu Lingxiao picked some fruit and put it in his pocket, then quickly turned back.
Lu Zhixia suddenly felt a chill down her spine and turned around to see a wild boar, about seven or eight meters away.
A very large wild boar was staring at her with its bright red eyes.
Wild boars are covered in thorns and have two tusks on their heads; if they gore a person, they can kill them.
This thing is really weird; she involuntarily moved back a little.
The wild boar slowly approached, clearly intending to attack her.
She thought of the folding knife in her pocket, reached into it, and took it out. She knew she couldn't panic at this moment; if she did, it would be all over.
The wild boar was making gurgling noises. Lu Zhixia had already opened the knife. Now she was all alone and couldn't rely on anyone.
She and the wild boar were staring at each other, both competing to see who would make a move first!
Sweat gradually began to appear, slowly trickling from her forehead into her eyes. The pain made her extremely uncomfortable, and she had no choice but to rub them with her hand.
With her other eye she saw the wild boar charging towards her, she immediately raised her dagger and dodged to the side, but the wild boar was extremely fast.
She was instantly transported to where she had just been. Lu Zhixia was so frightened that her heart was pounding so hard it almost jumped out of her throat.
She was confident she could fight people, but the one in front of her was a beast.
She wasn't confident, mainly because the wild boar had thorns and she really didn't know where to start.
Just then, she heard a rustling sound from the bushes. Turning around, she saw Gu Lingxiao had returned and immediately called out to him.
"Don't come any closer, it's dangerous here!"
Upon seeing the wild boar, Gu Lingxiao acted decisively, casually pulling a fruit from his pocket and swiftly and accurately smashing it into the boar's eyes with a loud bang.
The wild boar's eye was hit, and in pain, it ran around wildly, frantically crashing into things around it.
Gu Lingxiao then came to Lu Zhixia's side, put his arm around her waist, turned her around, and took the dagger from her hand.
Lu Zhixia stared at him in disbelief. How did this person do that?
The wild boar was completely enraged and charged towards them, aiming its charge.
Gu Lingxiao kicked the tree next to him, using the momentum to propel himself forward, and then kicked the wild boar in the forehead.
The wild boar was immediately sent flying, letting out a piercing scream.
Gu Lingxiao ran forward again and, before the wild boar could react, slashed its neck with his dagger, leaving a huge wound.
Blood spurted out instantly, and Gu Lingxiao dodged to the side.
The wild boar was in so much pain that it rolled on the ground, too exhausted to get up.
One second, two seconds, and a few minutes later, there was no more movement at all.
Lu Zhixia looked at Gu Lingxiao and thought, "He's really amazing, so calm!"
Gu Lingxiao wiped the blood off his face with his sleeve and looked back at the woman, thinking she was terrified.
He was struck by the sight of those sparkling eyes and that adoring gaze.
"Alright, the wild boar is dead."
"You're amazing! How did you do that?"
"Someone like me needs to undergo training; I can't just try it rashly."
"I know, I understand."
"It would be a shame to leave this wild boar here. How about we drag it down the mountain?"
"Great! That's what I think too!"
The wild boar on the ground weighs at least 100 jin (50 kg), and if sold, it could fetch at least one or two hundred yuan.
However, since she didn't kill the wild boar herself, she had no right to interfere.
Gu Lingxiao wiped the dagger with a leaf, and seeing that there was still blood on it, he simply wiped it on his sleeve. After it was completely clean, he handed it over.
"for you."
Lu Zhixia took the dagger. She had only brought it because she was afraid of danger, but she never expected it would come in so handy.
Gu Lingxiao used the vines nearby to make a rope, then tied up the wild boar and dragged it down the mountain.
Lu Zhixia saw how hard he was working and took the initiative to switch, but he would switch back after only a few minutes each time.
Before I knew it, I had reached the foot of the mountain and looked back at the vast mountain.
Lu Zhixia had many thoughts in her mind. It seemed that gathering herbs in the mountains was not suitable for her. She should focus on researching food to make a fortune in the future.
Gu Lingxiao looked at the wild boar on the ground, then looked up at the sky. Although he had successfully descended the mountain, it was already dark.
If they drag the wild boar into the village, it will be past midnight.
"Otherwise, we can find a place to leave the wild boar for now, walk back to the village, and bring people back tomorrow to drag it back."
Lu Zhixia immediately objected, saying, "This is just at the foot of the mountain. Wild animals will definitely come out at night. Wouldn't we have wasted our time then?"
“If we drag the wild boar back, it will take some more time.” Gu Lingxiao raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
Even if he had a lot of energy, he wouldn't have much left at this point.
Lu Zhixia noticed that the man was tired, and just then, a shout came from afar.
"Comrade Lu!"
It was obvious that the other party was calling her, so Lu Zhixia quickly turned around and saw that it was Bai Mu, the village chief's eldest grandson, leading several people over.
They were holding flashlights, and the light was a bit too bright, so Lu Zhixia could only turn to the side to speak to Gu Lingxiao.
