Fortunately, Jiangci doesn't have a tail, otherwise it would really stick up.
She feigned nonchalance, saying, "It's just a small snake, nothing serious."
"I dare not touch snakes; I feel disgusted just looking at them."
Jiang Ci didn't mention that she had once killed a snake that was over two meters long. Compared to that two-meter snake, this small water snake was nothing.
"Let's look around in other places; maybe we can find some other good stuff." Jiang Ci changed the subject and continued walking forward.
Sister-in-law Yu thought Jiang Ci was very lucky, so she quickly followed after her.
Meanwhile, Dazhu and Erzhu had already described to Zhou Mingli and his father, who were fishing with nets, Jiang Ci's magnificent figure as he sculpted a water snake.
The two teenagers chattered incessantly, saying things like, "Aunt Jiang caught the snake in one go!" "The snake was like a little eel in Aunt Jiang's hands, it couldn't escape!" "Aunt Jiang wasn't afraid at all, she's even better than Dad!"
Zhou Mingli, pulling at the sinking net, asked, "What kind of snake? Did it bite anyone?"
Dazhu: "No! Uncle Zhou, it was just a small water snake. Aunt Jiang killed it in no time!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Mingli smiled and praised without any hesitation, "Your Aunt Jiang is indeed amazing."
Brother Yu gave Zhou Mingli a second look, secretly thinking: You didn't say anything like this when you two had a falling out a while ago.
As soon as the fishing net was pulled up a little, the water surface began to ripple. Zhou Mingli and Brother Yu perked up and hurried to pull the net up.
Wow! So many fish!
"So many fish!!"
Dazhu and Erzhu exclaimed in amazement, while Zhou Yang and Zhou Miao on the shore also roared with excitement.
Hearing the commotion, Jiang Ci and Sister-in-law Yu glanced towards the pond, then looked at their own harvest.
Very good, there's only one water snake.
The difference in status suddenly became apparent.
“Let’s go further in and see what we can find,” Jiang Ci suggested.
Sister-in-law Yu also perked up, "Okay, let's go."
People shouldn't have a competitive spirit. Well, Jiang Ci and Sister-in-law Yu's competitive spirit came out. It was as if the fire of battle was burning on the two of them, and their momentum followed suit.
But what good stuff could there be around here?
They only had two shovels, so catching any small animals would be extremely difficult.
Jiang Ci and Sister-in-law Yu walked inside for quite a while, but didn't encounter anything.
Jiang Ci felt that one couldn't be so confident when sourcing goods in the mountains, or one would definitely be proven wrong.
“Rustle!”
Jiang Ci, who was searching aimlessly, suddenly caught a sound and stopped walking.
"What's wrong?"
"Shh-"
Jiang Ci shushed her, and Sister-in-law Yu immediately fell silent.
"Shhh—"
Another sound came.
Jiang Ci gripped the small shovel in her hand and silently walked toward the direction from which the sound came.
After walking around a clump of reeds, the flashlight kept shining, and suddenly, the flashlight beam stopped in one spot!
There's a huge pit there, and all the noise Jiang Ci heard just now came from that pit!
Sister-in-law Yu grabbed Jiang Ci, and said with some fear, "Could there be some kind of wild animal inside?"
“No, this isn’t some deep mountain, there aren’t any wild animals here.” Jiang Ci patted her arm to reassure Sister-in-law Yu, and then continued to shine the flashlight in the direction of the large pit.
Of course, she didn't rush in. Instead, she looked around, found a pebble about the size of her palm, and smashed it into the pit.
"Huff, huff, huff, huff~"
Jiang Ci couldn't help but swear, "Holy crap!"
Sister-in-law Yu exclaimed, "My goodness!"
Jiang Ci and Sister-in-law Yu stepped forward one after another.
What appeared to be a large pit wasn't a wild beast, but a pig boy!
Wild boar!!!
A wild boar with tusks!!!
The wild boar was clearly still lively and energetic. It couldn't get out of the nearly 1.5-meter-deep pit and could only circle around inside, its tusks constantly digging at the hole.
Jiang Ci and Sister-in-law Yu gasped. Jiang Ci patted Sister-in-law Yu, "Quickly go and call Zhou Mingli and Brother Yu over! This is a live one!"
A wild boar weighing several hundred kilograms!
Isn't this even more delicious than fish?
"Hey, hey, hey!" Sister-in-law Yu snapped out of her daze and immediately ran back to call Zhou Mingli and Brother Yu.
Before long, Zhou Mingli and Brother Yu arrived, the three adults accompanied by four little followers.
When Jiang Ci saw the children arrive, she immediately said, "You four stay away from here. This is a wild boar, and it's quite ferocious."
Dazhu and Erzhu clearly didn't want to leave, but after being glared at by their parents, they left reluctantly.
Zhou Mingli strode over to Jiang Ci and looked her up and down. "How big is the wild boar?"
Jiang Ci pointed inside and said, "Take a look for yourself. I can't estimate how many kilograms it weighs."
Brother Yu also went over to take a look.
He exclaimed, "This must weigh three or four hundred pounds, right?"
Brother Yu, eager to try, looked at Zhou Mingli and asked, "What should we do?"
Zhou Mingli calmly observed the wild boar.
If you encounter a strong, young wild boar like this, it's best to run away as fast as you can to avoid getting hurt.
But this was meat, rare pork, and none of the four people present wanted to miss this opportunity to eat meat; they almost wanted to find a way to kill it.
In Zhou Mingli's opinion, the best way would be to shoot the wild boar with a hunting rifle and then wait for it to die.
It was obvious that they didn't have a shotgun.
In that case, we'll need to resort to some rather ruthless methods.
