Hearing Ning Huan say this, Ning Liang stopped complaining about being tired. Because that's truly how Pang Shi was at home; she was never called over, and after finishing her business, she still had to take care of the children.
She worked hard without complaint, never cried or complained of being tired.
But after walking for a while, Ning Liang simply couldn't go any further.
He was pampered at home and never did any rough or heavy work, so naturally he had little strength.
Seeing Ning Liang, who was exhausted and limp, Ning Huan raised an eyebrow and decided to let it go for today.
Considering that he was thinking about protecting himself when he faced the wild boar, we won't bother him anymore.
Ning Huan said calmly, "Alright, you can rest now. I'll carry the wild boar for the rest of the mountain path, just follow me."
Upon hearing this, Ning Liang nodded happily. His sister had finally let him off the hook.
But then he shook his head: "No, this wild boar is so big, how are you going to carry it yourself if I don't help you?"
Ning Huan looked Ning Liang up and down: "Don't worry, I can definitely carry it. If you keep carrying it, I'm afraid I'll have to carry more than just wild boars in a while."
Ning Liang: ...
And so, Ning Huan carried the wild boar for the second half of the mountain route.
Since Ning Huan wants to restore her body and strength in the modern world, she needs to intensify her training. This wild boar will serve as her weight training.
However, seeing Ning Huan dragging the wild boar so easily, Ning Liang asked in surprise, "Sis, how do you have such strength? You just lifted this wild boar up like that?"
As Ning Huan walked, she said casually, "What's the big deal? You'll naturally gain strength if you do the work for a long time."
Then she complained, "I'm not saying anything bad about you, nor am I looking down on you, but you're such a big man, yet you're not as strong as me. I don't know how you can be so weak."
Ning Liang pursed his lips: "How am I weak? Besides, you just left. Let's talk about it when you can lift it a little longer."
Ning Huan chuckled softly, but didn't say anything more.
The two slowly walked down the mountain, and when they reached the foot, they could see Wushan Village in the distance. Ning Huan, surprisingly, continued carrying the wild boar without batting an eye.
Ning Liang looked at her in surprise, and began to doubt himself: Could it be that he was really too weak?
Ning Huan looked at Ning Liang, whose jaw was practically dropping in surprise, and said, "You get stronger after doing work for a long time. But you're right, I am a little tired, but I can still keep going."
Ning Huan wiped her sweat, and originally wanted to switch hands to continue carrying it, but Ning Liang stopped her: "Sister, let me try again."
She raised an eyebrow, and without any politeness, threw the wild boar to the ground: "Don't push yourself. If you can't handle it, I'll take over."
Although Ning Liang nodded in agreement, he gritted his teeth and persevered the whole way, never uttering a single word of refusal.
Then the siblings led the wild boar through the village, and many villagers stared at them in surprise.
They even followed behind the two, commenting, "Wow, what a huge wild boar! How much meat must it have!"
Aunt Guihua, who always liked to take advantage of others, said, "Anyway, this wild boar is quite big, so the meat must be delicious!"
A villager standing nearby nodded: "Indeed, Jing An's family won't lack meat this year."
Aunt Guihua rolled her eyes and said, "More than that, it's probably enough to feed the whole village!"
At this moment, Aunt Xiufen, who always clashed with Aunt Guihua, burst out laughing when she heard this: "Hey Wang Guihua, do you really think no one knows what you're planning? It's enough to feed the whole village. This is a wild boar that Jing'an's wife hunted. Ask her if she'll share it with you."
Upon hearing this, Wang Guihua rolled her eyes at Aunt Xiufen: "I'm putting my mind to this today, I'll definitely find a way to make Jing'an's family obediently divide up this wild boar meat."
"When the time comes, Aunt Xiufen, don't be tempted!"
With that, Wang Guihua hurried off towards the Zhou family's house.
Before Ning Huan and Ning Liang, who hadn't heard about these things, even reached their doorstep, Yang saw them and hurriedly urged her older brother to come out and help.
He exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, girl, you're really something! This wild boar is big enough for your family to eat; you probably won't have to worry about food even during the New Year!"
Ning Huan quickly waved her hand and said, "It's not that I'm particularly skilled. This wild boar was extremely ferocious. My brother and I almost lost our lives just to subdue it."
Then she revealed the scrapes and abrasions she and Ning Liang had sustained while being chased by wild boars.
Her wounds were alright, but Ning Liang had several abrasions that looked bloody and were quite serious.
Madam Yang was startled: "Oh dear, such a serious injury! We'll have to apply medicine properly when we get back, or maybe we should take you to town to see a doctor."
Ning Liang smiled and shook his head, saying, "It's nothing, it's just a small wound, nothing serious."
Ning Huan chimed in, "He's really alright, sister-in-law. I'll apply the medicine when we get back."
Madam Yang nodded: "Alright, then I won't ask any more questions."
However, seeing that Ning Liang was injured but still managed to carry the wild boar down the mountain and back, she couldn't help but praise him, "Sister, your brother is really something. He was so badly injured, yet he still managed to carry the wild boar back."
“Unlike my younger brother, who is lazy and doesn’t do any work all day long, he can’t lift his arms or legs no matter what he does. He’s a grown man, but he’s not as strong as me, a woman.”
Hearing this, Ning Liang chuckled awkwardly and then looked at Ning Huan.
When Mr. and Mrs. Yang helped carry the wild boar back home, the four little ones were stunned to see such a large wild boar.
"Wow, Mom, the wild boar you brought back is huge!"
"Mother, Uncle, you've never brought back such a big wild boar before!"
"Great news, Mom! We'll have meat to eat again!"
Not to mention the four little ones were surprised, even Pang Shi couldn't help but be astonished when she saw the wild boar: "My goodness, Huanhuan, you took your brother up the mountain so early in the morning and brought back such a big wild boar?"
After thanking Mr. and Mrs. Yang, Ning Huan took Ning Liang back to the house to treat his wounds.
In Zhou Jing'an's house, they told everyone how they encountered the wild boar and how they killed it.
Hearing this, the four little ones hugged Ning Huan tightly and said, "Mommy, it's too dangerous. We need to grow up quickly so we can help you!"
Ning Huan smiled and patted their little heads, saying, "Okay, then grow up quickly, be healthy and safe, and your mother will be happy."
Looking at the harmonious family, Zhou Jing'an felt a warmth in his heart.
