He held his breath and slowly walked to the side of the bushes, where he saw a wild boar lying on the ground dying, its neck bitten by an unknown creature.
Chen Yan breathed a sigh of relief and waved to Jiang Ning to indicate that there was no danger.
Only then did he feel relieved. After all, he had just recovered from his injury not long ago. If there really was an uninjured wild boar here, he really wasn't sure he could deal with it.
Jiang Ning breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Chen Yan waving at her. After all, her acting skills were not that good, and she was afraid that she would be exposed and it would be troublesome if she overacted.
It seems that not everyone can be an actor.
When she got closer, she saw that the wild boar was almost dead and it probably weighed more than 100 pounds.
"System, you guys are quite capable."
"Of course. Although I work part-time in this system, I still have to do my job well as a part-time worker." The system was proud.
Chen Yan: "Jiang Ning, this pig looks like it weighs over 100 pounds. Should we call someone to help carry it back?"
"No, there won't be enough meat after we divide this pig among the entire production team. We both brought two backpacks, so we can cut the wild boar in half and each carry half back home."
"But it looks like we can't carry it back even if each of us carries half."
Jiang Ning thought for a while and said, "How about this: you quietly go home and call your eldest and second brothers up. The four of us should be able to carry it back."
Chen Yan disagreed: "You should go back. I don't know what killed this wild boar. I'm afraid it will come back again. It's not safe for you to stay here alone. I'll stay here. You go and come back quickly."
Jiang Ning looked at Chen Yan's serious expression and said guiltily, "It's okay. If this unknown creature wanted to eat the wild boar, it would have eaten it right away. How could it leave it for us? I guess it must have been seriously injured before it left. It won't be back for a while. Besides, it's normal for me to be chopping wood here since I'm from the village. Other villagers won't ask me about it when they see me. But if you're a stranger here, they'll definitely find it strange and will probably come up to talk to you. Besides, I'm the chef. While you're going back to call me big brother, I can use this time to distribute the pork so that we don't have to worry too much. When you come, you can just carry it back home."
Chen Yan thought so too, so he said, "I'll go quickly and come back soon. You stay here alone and be careful."
Jiang Ning nodded, indicating that it was no problem.
"The big guy you rescued is quite loyal." The system said sincerely.
"Indeed, it made me unable to bear to lie to him."
......
While Chen Yan went downstairs to call for help, Jiang Ning carefully recalled the scene of slaughtering pigs at home when he was a child. It seemed that after stabbing the pig to death, they would boil a large basin of hot water and put the pig into the hot water to scald it, and then they would start to scrape the hair with a scraper. After the hair was scraped clean, they would start to divide the meat.
But now, in the middle of nowhere, where would she get the hot water and razor to shave the pig? Forget it, let's skip all that for now and cut the wild boar into several large pieces and carry them home first.
Special treatment is required in special times.
Then Chen Yan ran all the way to the place where Jiang Weimin and Jiang Jianguo were harvesting rice. At that time, the two brothers were bending over and harvesting rice with great effort.
"Brother, Brother, Jiang Ning needs to see you at home. Come with me now."
When Jiang Jianguo and Jiang Weimin heard his voice, they turned around and saw Chen Yan standing on the edge of the field with sweat all over his forehead, looking at them anxiously.
Seeing Chen Yan like this and hearing that it was his sister looking for him, he thought something had happened, so he put the rice-cutting sickle on his waist, said hello to Accountant Wang who was recording work points, and the three of them went home.
"Chen Yan, what happened to Ning girl?" Before he could open his mouth to explain to his two brothers, the impatient second brother asked first.
"Jiang Ning is fine. We found him on the mountain..." Chen Yan told everything that happened between him and Jiang Ning on the mountain.
The two brothers were surprised when they heard this. After all, during this period, people couldn't even get enough to eat. They often went to the mountains to pick mushrooms and dig wild vegetables. If they were lucky enough to set traps and catch a pheasant or two, they were very lucky. How could these two actually find a wild boar in the mountains? And with no effort at all? It was too unbelievable.
So the three of them quickly returned home, took two backpacks, and immediately set off towards Lao Ren Mountain.
On the other hand, after Jiang Ning finished cutting the pork, he saw that they had not come yet. Thinking that he would be bored anyway, he put the pork into the refrigerator where he had just received the reward and started looking for wild mushrooms.
After all, fresh mushrooms taste especially delicious when stewed with pork.
By the time Jiang Ning had picked up enough mushrooms for a meal, his two brothers and Chen Yan finally arrived.
She was so scared that she quickly took out some wild boar meat from the system's refrigerator and put it in the backpacks that she and Chen Yan brought. The meat that could not be put in was piled on the ground.
Before she could say anything, her eldest and second brothers were stunned when they saw the pork in front of them. At first, they thought that their sister and Chen Yan could not carry the wild boar. After all, one was a girl and the other was a patient whose wound had not fully recovered.
But who could tell them why the wild boar was so fat? Even after the two backpacks were full, there was still so much pork left on the ground.
After greeting Jiang Ning, the two brothers began to put the meat into the backpacks they brought with them. They also filled both backpacks before reluctantly putting them down.
But if we carry it back like this, it will definitely be seen by the people in the production team. After all, there is such a big wild boar here, and it will be difficult to divide it or not.
So the four of them discussed it and decided that the eldest and second brothers would carry two baskets of wild boar meat home first, and then the other four would come back and each of them would carry a basket back.
They did it right away. The eldest and second brothers found some fir thorns for making fire nearby and put them on top of the wild boar meat to cover it. After the meat was disguised to the point where it was completely unrecognizable, the two brothers carried the wild boar meat back home.
It took the four of them almost an entire afternoon to transport all the wild boar meat back home.
After returning home, I used the cedar thorns I picked up to make a fire and boil water to shave off the wild boar hair. I have to say that the hair was really difficult to shave off, and it took a lot of effort to finish it.
Jiang Ning took the opportunity to clean the wild boar's head, planning to cook some pig's head meat to eat tomorrow.
Today I will finish eating the hot pot dishes I brought back from the village chief’s house.
After finishing all this, she went to the cooperative and bought a few bags of salt to marinate the wild boar meat. She also marinated the pork belly given by the village chief, otherwise the meat would easily go rancid in this kind of weather.
Although I have a refrigerator, I can't put it there openly, otherwise it would be strange if the wild boar meat disappeared out of thin air.
After doing all this, Jiang Ning was too tired to speak, but his two brothers and Chen Yan didn't look tired at all. Instead, they were joked that they needed to exercise more.
