Yunling could imagine how much they would be suppressed if they brought real food, given the attitude of those people yesterday, by the statement, "This is Qingcheng Mountain, and everything you gather is from Qingcheng."
As the saying goes, even a powerful dragon can't fight a local snake. If they provoke this group of unreasonable people, they're likely to have no peace.
Yunling thought and thought, and finally came up with a more appropriate method. She activated her supernatural ability and summoned a wild boar.
As soon as the superpower was activated, a swishing sound came from a great distance, followed by the urgent sound of crunching leaves and twigs being crushed, which came closer to everyone's ears.
The eldest brother of the Fan family was the first to see what was happening. When he saw the ferocious wild boar charging towards him, he was initially shocked and took a step back, but then he became excited and thrilled.
"Wild boar! Wild boar! We're really lucky today."
"Wild boar? Where? Where is it?"
Fan's second brother was also excited, but at the same time he was a little scared. He knew how fierce the wild boar was, so he kept watching while picking up tree branches from the ground that he could use to get a grip.
Yun Shenghua and Gangzi also spotted the wild boar and quickly protected Fan Xiaosi and the others. Although the wild boar could solve their food problem, it was very aggressive and might harm innocent people.
Yunling noticed that the woman behind her was still peeking on tiptoe, almost as if the wild boar was about to take a detour and circle around in her direction.
The woman saw it immediately. She rubbed her eyes, somewhat incredulous, but as the wild boar's silhouette became clearer, she cried out in surprise.
"Wild boar!"
"Oh my god, a wild boar! Help! There's a wild boar here!"
At the woman's cry, Yunling quickly steered the wild boar in another direction.
The eldest and second eldest brothers of the Fan family hurriedly chased after the wild boar, while Yunling, Gangzi, and Yun Shenghua also led the children forward.
The woman hurriedly shouted, yelling with all her might:
"Wild boar! Help! There's a wild boar here! Help!"
“If you don’t come soon, the people of Pingcheng will catch and eat this wild boar. Then, we people of Qingcheng won’t even be able to find a single wild boar hair.”
Hearing the woman's cries, and especially after clearly hearing the words "wild boar," the group rushed over, armed with sticks and tree branches.
"Where's the wild boar? Where is it?"
"The wild boar came from that direction, but when it saw that there were many of them, it ran in that direction again. We have to hurry, or they'll all be taken by those people from Pingcheng."
After saying this, the woman led the way and ran in the direction Yunling had just run. Soon, she saw Yunling and her group gathered together, with the eldest and second eldest brothers of the Fan family squatting on the ground, looking exactly like they were dealing with a wild boar. The woman became even more smug.
She believed she had caught Yunling and her group hunting prey in Qingcheng, and with the backing of local Qingcheng people, she instantly straightened her back and spoke with the utmost ferocity of a tyrant.
"You can't deny it today, can you? We saw you catch the wild boar with our own eyes. This wild boar is from Qingcheng. If outsiders like you catch it, you can only share it according to your contribution. You can't keep it all for yourself."
The group naturally thought the woman's words made sense. Besides, it was a wild boar, after all. Eating wild boar meat would instantly restore their energy, and they would be able to walk all the way to Yuecheng, then board a boat and escape to another place.
With this in mind, everyone considered the wild boar as their own, and their gazes towards Yunling and the others became increasingly greedy.
“Logically speaking, you shouldn’t keep this wild boar to yourself. Since it appeared in the Qingcheng region, it means it’s meant for the people of Qingcheng to eat. You just happened to encounter it, so you should take it out.”
"Here's what I think. You guys are capable of catching a wild boar, and your efforts are invaluable. So, we should split the wild boar equally."
"Yes, split it evenly. We'll split this wild boar evenly. As for the offal, I'll keep the large intestine, and you can have the liver. Go ahead and take it."
Yunling rolled her eyes so hard they almost reached the sky. The way these people spoke was very problematic, with an overbearing, fatherly attitude. They weren't trying to negotiate with them; they were just cutting things off with a single stroke, as if they were the owners of the prey, bestowing kindness out of great compassion.
Yunling really didn't want to deal with this group of people. The physical aversion she felt was enough to make her already empty stomach churn. She was afraid that if she continued to negotiate, she would vomit up the bile in her stomach, so she said:
"Sister-in-law, if you're really too bored, why don't you find a tree branch to rub against? That would save you the trouble of gossiping. You keep talking about wild boars, so where are they?"
"Shameless! You're supposed to be an unmarried virgin, yet you say such shameless things. If no one taught you this, you would have given up, but why are you lying through your teeth? Those two behind you are holding down a wild boar. It's all out in the open, so why are you still so stubborn?"
Yunling sighed and made way for her.
"Since my sister-in-law has said so, let's let her take a look."
Gangzi and the others stepped back, shaking their heads and sighing.
Seeing Yunling compromise, the woman couldn't hide her smugness. She felt she had to make a scene today and vent her anger from yesterday.
But to her surprise, after the crowd dispersed, all she saw were the eldest and second brothers of the Fan family, and a fourth brother of the Fan family on the ground. There was nothing else, nothing at all!
"Where's the wild boar? Where did you hide it?"
Before Yunling could respond, the group she had summoned angrily retorted:
"They're all here, where else could they hide a wild boar? Do you think wild boars are just ordinary rats, huh?"
"Go to hell! What are you yelling about if there are no wild boars? Are you out of your mind? I thought I was going to have a big meal today, but look what happened. I walked all this way for nothing and it took me a lot of effort. Are you crazy?"
The woman kept shaking her head.
"Impossible! I saw that wild boar with my own eyes, I saw it myself. Didn't you see it just now too? That's why you ran over here from there, isn't it?"
The question was directed at Yunling, but Yunling was not so kind as to help her out of the predicament, so she did not respond. Since Yunling did not speak, the others were not going to be the good guys, so they all looked on and did not take the woman seriously.
"Speak up! Have you hidden the wild boar?"
The woman paced back and forth, looking in other directions again and again...
