Chapter 23: What a fierce woman



"Here it is!"

Tang Yunling waved his hoe and responded to his elder brother.

Tang Yuanliang leaned his head out from the slope and finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Lu Baiwei and Tang Yunling were safe and sound.

"I was scared to death. What are you two doing running down there?"

"I thought you two had tumbled off the cliff."

"No, we dug up Polygonum multiflorum."

Tang Yunling shouted excitedly: "Brother, don't set traps yet. Come on, some people help Weiwei and I dig Polygonum multiflorum. There is a large area full of Polygonum multiflorum vines. We are going to make a fortune this time."

"That's definitely not helpful!"

Tang Yuanliang boasted proudly: "We caught a big one. It's hot and it's hard to keep the meat. We have to go down the mountain quickly overnight."

"This piece of Polygonum multiflorum vine can't escape anyway, so I'll go up the mountain and dig it next time."

"Come up quickly, I'll show you the big wild boar we caught."

Tang Yuanliang handed down the hoe handle, and Lu Baiwei and Tang Yunling grabbed it and climbed up the slope.

Carrying the basket for Lu Baiwei and walking slowly down the weeds toward the lake, Tang Yuanliang said excitedly, "Weiwei, the brother-in-law you married is amazing. He's really good at fighting."

"That big guy today, I, your brother, almost couldn't handle it."

"That wild boar was a spirit, its skin was so thick that it was not afraid of being stabbed by a knife. He Ting picked up the hoe that was thrown on the ground, jumped up and hit the wild boar with it, and its brains were smashed out."

Because of the friendship they had gained from killing wild boars together, Tang Yuanliang was even more accepting of He Ting as his brother-in-law.

When they reached the place where wild boars were hunted in the bushes by the lake, Lu Baiwei could see clearly in the dim light that He Ting's body was covered in blood.

Afraid that Lu Baiwei would worry, He Ting hurried over to explain: "The blood splashed on my body when I was hunting a wild boar."

Why do you sound a little proud?

Lu Baiwei did not hesitate to praise him: "He Ting, you are really amazing."

"I heard from my cousin that you dug the wild boar's brains out with one hoe."

Hearing his new wife praising him, He Ting raised his head and curled the corners of his mouth slightly.

A circle of fine beads of sweat oozed out of Lu Baiwei's forehead, wetting her drooping hair. He stepped forward and tucked the loose hair behind her ears.

Seeing the two of them being so affectionate, Zhou Yanfeng felt that his brother Ting had betrayed him. Now the first person in his brother Ting's heart was not him, but his sister-in-law.

Like a little kid who can no longer get candy.

He is lost!

Everyone gathered together, and leader Tang Yuanliang led everyone up the mountain, and now he made a decision.

"Originally, we planned to stay in the mountains for a few days and collect more medicinal herbs for Weiwei."

"Weiwei also dug up a basket of Fritillaria, and she and Lingling dug up some Polygonum multiflorum. He Ting and I also hunted this big guy. Now the plan has changed."

"The weather is too hot, and it's not hunting season. If we don't get rid of this wild boar meat quickly, it will go bad."

It happened that they went up the mountain when the moon was in the middle, and the sky was just getting dark. When they looked up, they could see the full moon hanging in the sky.

Tang Yuanliang made the final decision: "While there is moonlight, we won't be completely dark. Let's pack up and go down the mountain immediately."

If you stay in the mountains for one day, the wild boar meat will definitely go bad.

Besides, even though we found the Polygonum multiflorum vine, as Tang Yuanliang said, things growing there won't grow legs and run away, so we can come back to dig it up next time.

A wild boar weighing about 200 kilograms can produce about 150 kilograms of meat.

Based on the minimum price of 50 cents per pound, a wild boar can be sold for 75 yuan. Meat is hard to come by these days, and sometimes the price of pork on the black market is more than 50 cents per pound.

After doing the math, we know that the right thing to do is to process the wild boar meat as quickly as possible.

Everyone, led by Lu Baiwei, agreed with Tang Yuanliang's decision.

In order to make it easier to carry, Tang Yuanliang slaughtered a pig by the lake, cut the meat into pieces, and each person carried a basket on his back.

Of course, we couldn’t bear to throw away the pig’s offal.

The few of them hurriedly ate some dry food, and Tang Yuanliang still led the way in front, going down the mountain under the bright moonlight.

This time they did not take a shortcut through the densely vegetated woods, but chose an area with few trees to clear the way. After all, it was dangerous to walk on mountain roads at night. Even with Tang Yuanliang, who was familiar with the mountains, leading the way and the moonlight shining, they still made a big mistake.

The unlucky person is Zhou Yanfeng.

As Zhou Yanfeng was walking, he heard a hissing sound in his ears. When he realized something was wrong, he saw a snake wrapped around his backpack, climbing up his back and spitting its tongue at his neck.

Zhou Yanfeng felt a chill on the side of his neck and heard a hissing sound. Something was wrong.

By the time he realized it, it was too late. The snake would bite his neck if he moved.

At the critical moment, Tang Yunling, who was walking beside him, suddenly made a lightning-fast move, grabbed the snake's vital point, and threw it to the ground, and the snake fainted.

The crisis was resolved, and Zhou Yanfeng, who had been frightened to the point of numbness in his hands and feet, almost collapsed to the ground.

He slid down leaning on He Ting, and He Ting helped him and prevented him from rolling down the slope.

Tang Yunling, who was as powerful as a dragon, picked up the half-dead snake and wrapped it around his hand to play with it.

“You, you…”

What a fierce woman.

Zhou Yanfeng was most afraid of slippery things. He pointed at Tang Yunling and was so shocked that he was speechless.

"What's a little reptile afraid of?"

Tang Yunling said in a nonchalant tone.

She asked, "Weiwei gave you the snake repellent kit made by Shemiemen. Snakes should stay away from you when they smell the kit. Why are you still attracting snakes?"

Lu Baiwei discovered the crux of the problem.

She asked Zhou Yanfeng: "Did the medicine bag get wet when you fell into the stream?"

Zhou Yanfeng then realized why he had attracted the snake.

He was frightened by the snake and hasn't recovered yet. He could only nod fiercely at Lu Baiwei to indicate that this was correct.

Is there anyone who is so afraid of snakes?

Tang Yunling disliked him to death.

She took out the medicine bag from her pocket and stuffed it into Zhou Yanfeng's hand.

"Take this. I'm not afraid of snakes, so I don't need this medicine bag."

"Thank you, thank you!"

The threat of death from being bitten by a snake still left Zhou Yanfeng, a young man from a big city, with lingering fears.

He can hardly speak clearly.

Tang Yunling played with the snake with one hand and puffed out her chest with pride: "No need to thank me, I will take care of you from now on."

"What does it look like?"

Tang Yuanliang felt that his sister was simply unbearable to look at.

Fortunately, her fiancé from the next brigade didn't know about this, otherwise it would be hard to say whether such a tough girl could get married.

Seeing that she was still playing with the snake to scare Zhou Yanfeng, Tang Yuanliang urged her: "Stop playing, kill the snake quickly and throw it into the basket, and take it back to soak in wine."

"Okay!"

On the way down the mountain, Zhou Yanfeng was afraid that the snake in Tang Yunling's basket was not actually killed and was pretending to faint and crawling out. He subconsciously stopped and stayed away from Tang Yunling next to He Ting.

However, he also admired Tang Yunling in his heart because she was a woman and was not afraid of such a scary thing as snakes.

This is completely different from those delicate female educated youth he had come into contact with.

Walking behind, he couldn't help but secretly look at Tang Yunling's back.
