Chapter 122: Embrace after surviving the disaster
Tan Chen quickly raised the sickle and chopped it towards the wild boar's neck. The wild boar's skin was thick and the sickle was not very sharp, so the sickle only injured the wild boar.
Shang Ruoting also saw the current situation. In order to distract the wild boar's attention, she picked up a big stone on the ground and smashed it hard at the wild boar's body.
Tan Chen also took the opportunity to pull out the sickle and attack the wild boar's neck again.
After the two cooperated like this for a few times, the wild boar finally stopped moving. Its huge body lay on the ground, still breathing weakly.
At this moment, Tan Chen and Shang Ruoting both felt like they had survived a disaster.
Shang Ruoting thought that if Tan Chen had not arrived in time, she would definitely hide in the space, but she could not bear to see Tan Chen get into trouble because of her.
In short, this wild boar incident made her truly experience what it means to live and die together.
The same went for Tan Chen. The first thing he thought of when he saw Shang Ruoting being attacked by a wild boar was that nothing must happen to her. When he asked Shang Ruoting to run, he was determined to die.
If Shang Ruoting had listened to him and ran down the mountain alone, then his life would most likely have been lost here today.
And because both of them chose not to retreat for the other, they both had a chance to survive.
Because of this, the two of them inadvertently became closer...
Tan Chen wiped the remaining blood stains on his face, strode to Shang Ruoting, and hugged her tightly in his arms.
Shang Ruoting also hugged him back, and the two felt each other's heartbeats, and the feeling of cherishing each other became stronger and stronger.
Just as the two were embracing each other in ecstasy, hurried footsteps were heard from the hillside.
"Captain, let's go up and take a look. If we still can't find anyone, shall we go back?"
Zhao Fa glanced at the person who spoke: "Miss Ruoting hasn't been found yet, and Tan Chen ran into the mountains alone. There are so many of us, what are you afraid of?"
"Captain, we have a lot of people, but if we run into a wild boar it's going to be hard to deal with..."
A group of people were talking when they suddenly saw two figures hugging each other in front of them.
"I saw them. Tan Chen and Shang Ruoting were there."
Hearing the shout, Tan Chen reluctantly let go of his arm and took Shang Ruoting's hand and walked towards the direction of the person coming.
"Captain, I killed the wild boar." Tan Chen did not say that Shang Ruoting also contributed to killing the wild boar. After all, she was a woman, so it was better for her to continue pretending to be weak.
This was also what Shang Ruoting intended. As long as her great strength was not exposed, she could continue to pretend to be pitiful when she met those unreasonable people in the future.
When Zhao Fa heard what Tan Chen said, he was stunned for a moment, and immediately brought his men to the two of them. The wild boar, which had completely died, appeared naked in front of everyone.
Without saying a word, Zhao Fa called on everyone to get the wild boar down the mountain as soon as possible to prevent other wild animals from smelling the scent and coming over.
The moment the villagers saw the wild boar, they no longer refused to go into the mountains.
In this era, no matter who killed the wild boar, it was public property. It would not be an exaggeration to say that everyone in the production team owned a share of the wild boar.
Tan Chen and Shang Ruoting also knew this truth very well. Although Shang Ruoting was unwilling, she did not have the ability to challenge the current policy. The best result was that she contributed more and could get more wild boar meat.
The villagers were extremely skillful. They found vines to tie up the wild boar and dragged it down the mountain. From time to time, they could hear the sound of people swallowing saliva.
After the wild boar was dragged away, Zhao Fa looked at Shang Ruoting. His concerned expression didn't seem fake. "Are you two injured? Let's go back and have Doctor Sun take a look."
Tan Chen shook his head: "We are fine, we only have some superficial injuries, and the blood on our bodies is all from the wild boar."
Zhao Fa sighed as he looked at the two men's miserable state. "You two are truly lucky. You two managed to survive an encounter with a wild boar. I've lived here for most of my life, and this is the first time I've seen such a thing."
"Don't go to the mountains again. You got lucky today, but you can't be lucky every time."
When Shang Ruoting heard Zhao Fa talking about the two of them, she suddenly remembered Tan Kai who rolled down the hillside.
"Captain, I ran here because I was chasing a thief."
Zhao Fa looked around and asked, "Where's the thief?"
Shang Ruoting pointed in the direction where Tan Kai fell: "Over there, the wild boar pushed him down with its tusks."
Zhao Fa took the lead and walked in the direction she pointed, and Tan Chen took Shang Ruoting's hand and followed behind.
Shang Ruoting was directing the direction while saying, "I wonder how Tan Kai is doing now?"
Zhao Fa and Tan Chen looked at her at the same time: "Is the thief you are chasing Tan Kai?"
Shang Ruoting nodded and told him in detail how she saw him jump over the fence and escape, and how she chased him all the way to the mountain.
Zhao Fa clenched his fists in anger: "This Tan Kai, he actually stole things from his own eldest brother, just wait and see how I'll deal with him when I get back!"
When Tan Chen heard that the thief was Tan Kai, he was so angry that his veins popped out, but he didn't curse like Zhao Fa did.
At this moment, Tan Kai was lying there groaning in pain: "Ouch...it hurts so much...am I going to die here..."
"Ouch...it's all because of that unlucky guy chasing me..."
