"Third brother, you're not much better off, don't just laugh at me." Zhou Wufu glared at him, it was truly a case of the pot calling the kettle black. Of the five brothers, only the second and fourth brothers could endure hardship, the eldest and third brothers and he were not so good.
"Learning kung fu is really hard work!" Xingxing exclaimed in her childish voice. Her legs trembled as she thought about the days she had spent practicing horse stance at the Chen residence. But Master Zheng said that practicing horse stance was to train the lower body and build a foundation. If the foundation wasn't solid, there was no way to learn other moves.
“Ruru doesn’t like learning kung fu either, she’d rather learn needlework.” Ruru frowned and agreed, she hated learning kung fu even more than Xingxing.
"But there are so many refugees and bad guys outside. If we don't learn kung fu, we won't be able to protect ourselves and we'll be a burden to our families. So Xingxing can't be afraid of hardship and has to persevere." Xingxing clenched her little pink fist and cheered herself up.
Upon hearing this, Ruru also thought of the days when she was fleeing from disaster. It was really terrible. There were many cannibalistic refugees and robbers on the road. Ruru must learn kung fu well. So she clenched her little fist and said firmly, "That's right, Ruru must persevere so that she can beat the bad guys away in the future."
"I'm almost embarrassed to give up now." Zhou Wufu pouted. He had originally wanted to persuade Xingxing and Ruru to give up learning kung fu together, but now it seemed like that was out of the question.
“Look there! It really is a herd of wild boars. There are five big wild boars in total, each weighing over 200 jin (100 kg),” Zhou Sanfu said, craning his neck and pointing to the northwest of the mountain.
"When the crops ripen, these wild boars must be attracted by the fragrance of the rice and want to come down the mountain to ravage the rice." Wild boars usually don't come down the mountain, but every year when the rice ripens, they always come attracted by the fragrance of the rice.
The village is mostly terraced fields, which are all located against the mountains. Whenever the rice ripens, the villagers would set traps around the fields, but it was always impossible to prevent them all. Every year, a lot of rice would be destroyed by wild boars.
Tie Qingfeng brought ten guards with him this time. In addition to the five guards protecting him and Song Jiao, there were five others under the tree. These five were holding knives and preparing to kill the wild boars. However, the five wild boars were not to be underestimated, and they had to go all out.
Just then, Zhou Erfu and Zhou Sifu rushed back in a flurry, carrying the processed wild rabbits and bamboo rats. When they saw Zhou Dafu and the others hiding in the trees, their eyes lit up with greed.
"Have you spotted the prey? Where is it? Sifu and I will go deal with it," Zhou Erfu shouted excitedly.
“Five wild boars, in that direction. Second brother, you and fourth brother be careful. Let Tie Qingfeng’s guards go first. You two act according to the situation and don’t be impulsive,” Zhou Sanfu warned in a deep voice.
"I know, I understand." Zhou Erfu handed the axe and a hoe to Zhou Sifu, then pulled him along and ran wildly towards the wild boar.
"Quick, we can't let those guards kill all the wild boars. We have to go and kill at least two." If the guards kill all the wild boars, they won't have a strong enough argument when it comes to dividing the boars. They'll have to listen to what the guards say about how much to get. If they kill two themselves, they can keep two for themselves.
