Chapter 79: A Bountiful Harvest
Da Hong excitedly told Jin Ran, "Shortly after you left, your aunt came, and together with Shen Yan Hong, they beat up Huang Yuan Yuan. Just when things were getting exciting, my disappointing father and Meng Fan showed up."
What followed was a barrage of complaints, all saying it was your fault. Meng Fan was a real jerk; he didn't help Shen Yanhong at all, he actually sided with Huang Yuanyuan. In the end, my dad took him to the brigade for a lecture, and your uncle's expression was truly indescribable.
Da Hong concluded, "If my future husband is like Meng Fan, I'll scratch his face until it's bruised and battered. Your brother can't be like that!"
Jinran thought, ".............. She still hasn't given up on her feelings for my brother!"
Da Hong seemed to have had his fill of gossip, his whole demeanor radiant, occasionally uttering a few words of reflection, which Jin Ran listened to attentively.
Da Hong asked, puzzled, "What is Shen Yanhong after? The educated youth are all so thin, like little chicks. What's so good about them?"
That's a good question.
Jinran said in a deliberately profound tone, "They must have some excellent qualities that we don't know about!"
Is it a case of a dog tearing a sheep's skin?
Jinran is damn right.
They spent several days collecting mountain produce on the mountain, and Da Hong shared some gossip with Jin Ran over the same period.
As a result, Jinran now knows everything that happens in the village without ever leaving home.
After school that day, Da Hong's family had something to do, so Jin Ran went up the mountain by herself. She didn't go to the usual place, but went straight into the deep mountains.
During this time, Da Hong accompanied her every time, but her plan to go deep into the mountains was never implemented.
Today, Jinran plans to plunder this place until it's bald.
We walked and stopped frequently, collecting some good-looking fruits, as well as some wild vegetables and medicinal herbs.
She continued walking. She had noted down a few places during her stroll. One place had a lot of chestnuts, but also a lot of wild boars. You could say that chestnut grove was like a self-service canteen for the locals.
As they approached, Jinran cautiously moved forward, holding a stun gun in her left hand and a knife in her right. Sure enough, she saw four wild boars eating fallen chestnuts under a tree.
They were all really plump and strong!
Jinran was tempted. If they could wipe them all out in one fell swoop, her family could have a prosperous New Year.
But this thing is really hard to deal with. So Jinran went into the space and looked around to see what she could use. Finally, her gaze fell on the empty container.
Is there any possibility that this operation will succeed?
Yes, there really is. The open space here is quite large. The wild boars are just grunting and focused on eating. They can't lift their heads. If she climbs up the tree opposite and smashes the container, it will be either dead or seriously injured.
Even if the wild boar wasn't harmed in the slightest, it doesn't matter. Let's just consider them not meant to be and move on to the next one.
He made a series of swift and decisive moves, and as planned, he began his elaborate scheme. Then, after a few pig-like squeals, there was silence.
This should be... done.
After waiting a while, Jinran retrieved the container from a distance and looked at the four wild boars that were crushed and mangled.
Jinran said, "This is a bit too much."
But it's okay, we can still make cured meat and sausages. Let's save it.
Seeing that the chestnuts on the ground had been ruined by the wild boars and were no longer any good, Jinran, who hadn't taken off her tree-climbing gear, quickly climbed the tree and began to collect the chestnuts.
The harvest yields about a thousand catties, but if you remove the outer burrs, it's only about five or six hundred catties.
She had already planned it out: if they couldn't finish the food, they would feed it to the pigs.
She glanced at the sky and realized it was getting late, so she started walking back, picking all the wild vegetables she could find.
Acanthopanax senticosus, bracken, purslane, willow shoots... these wild mountain vegetables grow so thickly! In her past life, when she went up the mountain with the dean, it would take her a long time to fill her basket.
Now, they easily weigh several hundred kilograms, and the key is that they are everywhere.
Moreover, she found a mushroom burrow in one place, picked mushrooms for about an hour, and still had most of them left.
But we can't pick any more; it's getting dark, and if we don't get down the mountain soon, it will be difficult to continue.
Jinran happily carried her full basket home. She would have to come back to this place tomorrow. She had been so busy harvesting chestnuts today that she hadn't been to several other places yet.
I'll wait a couple of days to rest before going to check it out.
