After returning home, Li Shuan and Li Qu were ready to go out.
Hai Dongcheng and Gu Qiuning really wanted to go. They exchanged a smile and had already made up their minds.
Lan Yuchu returned to the room, pulled Lin Qiyue close, kissed her forehead, and comforted her, "This time, we'll come back as soon as we catch the wild boar. You rest well at home and don't wait for me."
Lin Qiyue didn't really want him to go, but Lan Yuchu wouldn't listen even after she told him.
She nodded, hugged him, and said, "Then come back soon, and don't get hurt. I'll try to eat more from now on, but it's okay if I don't get to eat."
"Okay, I'll listen to my wife and go this time." Lan Yuchu wanted to help Uncle Li and Uncle Liang's family so that their living conditions would be better.
Last night, two pigs were exchanged for a lot of grain coupons because they were cheaper than buying them from the supply and marketing cooperative, so many people bought them.
The two pigs sold for eighty yuan, which was much lower than the market price.
"Honey, I'm waiting for you to come back."
"Uh-huh."
Reluctantly leaving the room, he glanced at his wife one last time before closing the door.
After they left, Lin Qiyue took a shower and went to bed to rest.
Knowing they would be back late, they didn't wait for Lan Yuchu, left the door open, and went to sleep.
After they left the house and went up the hillside, the perceptive Lan Yuchu heard someone following them.
"Come out?" Without a doubt, the footsteps were those two.
Hai Dongcheng and Gu Qiuning were also bold, following behind.
When Lan Yuchu asked them to come out, they rushed forward somewhat guiltily.
"Isn't this ridiculous?" Liang Youquan looked at the two people who came from the city and had followed him all the way; they were simply fearless.
Li Qu looked at the two of them, not angry at all. He put down his work and stood on the ground, laughing, "You two really followed me all the way. Looks like you're quite energetic."
"Brother-in-law, I was just curious. I'm a fast runner, and I've practiced boxing with Dad." Gu Qiuning was a little scared of Lan Yuchu's serious expression.
It was too late at night, and they couldn't see the road clearly. They fell several times, and their clothes got completely dirty.
Hao Dongcheng was alright, supporting Gu Qiuning the whole way.
Li Shuan looked at Gu Qiuning, who was covered in dirt and had messy hair, but was not at all delicate.
Lan Yuchu sighed helplessly. They had already gone up the mountain. If they were to go back now, it would be difficult to explain if something happened to them on the way.
He looked at Li Shuan.
“Since we’re already here, let’s go together,” Li Shuan said to Lan Yuchu.
That's all we can do for now.
Gu Qiuning walked up to Li Shuan with a grin and assured Lan Yuchu, "Brother-in-law, I promise I will stay in a safe place and will definitely not cause any trouble."
“Me too, I can help too, I’m in great shape,” Hai Dongcheng retorted.
He's a grown man, and he's done his fair share of mountain climbing and river diving.
Lan Yuchu glanced at the two disheveled people and was so angry that she couldn't speak.
One was his brother-in-law, and the other was the mayor's daughter; he couldn't scold them, nor could he say anything to them.
I regret not paying attention before I came.
Li Qu waved to Hai Dongcheng and said, "Then Dongcheng, you can come with me, but you have to promise not to run around."
"Yes, I promise."
Hai Dongcheng and Gu Qiuning nodded in agreement at the same time.
Lan Yuchu didn't say anything more and continued into the deep mountains.
We set up a trap and waited for several hours. There were many written records in the mountains.
Gu Qiuning, who was leaning against Li Shuan, had a painful bite on her neck from mosquitoes.
She kept patting her neck; the area was really itchy.
Li Shuan glanced back at her, scratching his neck incessantly as he sat down.
He pulled a small bottle of medicated oil from his pocket and handed it to her, saying, "Apply it to your hands and neck, and also to inconspicuous areas of your face. That way, mosquitoes won't dare to bite you."
Seeing how attentive he was, Gu Qiuning felt a great sense of security.
"Thank you, Brother Li!" He took it and applied the medicated oil to his neck and hands as well.
Then the mosquitoes really stopped biting her.
The next step is simply to wait for the prey to take the bait.
While waiting, Hai Dongcheng and Gu Qiuning fell asleep.
After Gu Qiuning drifted off to sleep, she leaned on Li Shuan's shoulder.
Li Shuan originally wanted to push her away, but after thinking about it, he decided against it.
She couldn't lie directly on the ground in the middle of nowhere because there were so many mosquitoes.
It's okay for her to lean on it for a bit, since no one will see.
Then he stiffened his body to make her more comfortable leaning against him.
Li Shuan was really curious, so he looked down at this girl who wasn't shy at all. During the day, she followed him around, asking him questions non-stop! At night, she would follow him out, not afraid at all, and even fell asleep on his shoulder.
You've got a really big heart!
"They're here!" A voice brought Li Shuan back to his senses.
As the night deepened, wild boars emerged to forage, slowly approaching the trap.
Their sense of smell is extremely keen, and their fighting ability is better than that of domesticated pigs. Everyone stays far away and dares not approach.
"Aww~"
Soon, the wild boar fell into the trap, stung by something in the snare, and was unable to escape.
The companions also sensed the danger and quickly left, abandoning the wild boar that had already fallen into the trap.
Hearing the wild boar's loud cries, Gu Qiuning woke up with a start, rubbing her eyes groggily and saying:
"You caught them?"
When Li Shuan saw that she had woken up and was getting off his shoulder, he immediately got up to check on her.
He was holding a knife to defend himself from attack.
As they approached, they saw that it was a large wild boar, its body already pierced by sharpened wooden sticks, rendering it unable to move.
