As Li Chunhua went out to call for help, Fu Wan picked up the water that Chen Guifang had poured for her from the table and gulped it down.
Her throat was practically burning from running all that way.
"Oh my, what's in here? Why is it moving?"
Chen Guifang took the snakeskin bag out of the basket, and to her surprise, as soon as she put it on the ground, she found that the contents of the snakeskin bag were moving!
It startled her!
"Oh, that's a rabbit!"
"rabbit?!"
Chen Guifang was no longer afraid and excitedly opened the snakeskin bag.
Wow, so many rabbits!
One, two, three...
She couldn't even count the rabbit heads in that snakeskin bag; there must be so many!
"I'll take it to the backyard and put it in a cage right now."
Chen Guifang picked up the snakeskin bag full of wild rabbits and was about to walk towards the backyard when Fu Wan quickly stopped her.
"Sister-in-law, don't worry about that yet, find me a big bowl."
"A big bowl? Great!"
Although Chen Guifang didn't know what Fu Wan wanted the large bowl for, she still did as she was told.
After all, right now she was completely focused on what her man had said: if she followed Awan, she would have food to eat!
She ran to the kitchen cupboard, took out a bowl that was usually used for soup, washed it, and handed it to Fu Wan.
Fu Wan stood up and took a clean cloth from the side to wipe the water off the bowl.
Chen Guifang wasn't in a hurry to take the rabbits to the backyard. She was curious about what Fu Wan was doing.
But she had the answer in the next second, though the situation was completely unexpected.
"Awan, this...this is a beehive!"
"My God, how did you manage to get such a huge beehive?"
Fu Wan raised an eyebrow smugly, "When luck comes, you can't stop it. That wild boar wanted to eat honey, so it got into a fight with the bees, and in the end, they both got badly hurt. Isn't that a good thing for us?"
Chen Guifang was stunned. "I've never seen such luck before."
This is just too incredible.
The large bowl that Chen Guifang was carrying was the biggest bowl in their house, and they didn't usually take it out easily. Even so, there wasn't any extra space when the honeycomb was placed in it.
Fortunately, the honeycomb needs to be cut open to reveal the honey inside, so only a few drops of honey from the honeycomb dripped onto the cloth bag.
Even so, Chen Guifang felt heartbroken and wished she could peel the honey off the cloth bag and soak it in water to drink.
At that time, sugar was very expensive, whether it was white sugar, brown sugar, or maltose for children. Even a few years ago, you needed sugar coupons to buy brown sugar.
As for eating honey, that's something I wouldn't even dare to dream of.
Just then, Li Chunhua rushed in from outside.
"Ah Wan, I've found someone. Can you lead the way? I'll push the cart there."
"Okay!"
She handed the cloth bag in her hand to Chen Guifang, saying, "Sister-in-law, put this beehive away for now, and we'll cut it when Uncle and the others come back."
We don't know if there are bees hiding in there, so let's let the experienced Ye Jianguo handle it.
Fu Wan and Li Chunhua pushed the cart out, and two burly men stood at the door.
"Auntie, did my Uncle Jianguo really catch a wild boar?"
One of the dark-skinned young men took the cart from Li Chunhua and couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, my niece ran back to tell you the news. Zhu Zi, stop talking nonsense and hurry up and leave."
Upon hearing this, the man named Zhuzi stopped dawdling and strode up the mountain, pulling his cart.
He pulled the cart behind him with ease.
With everyone focused on the wild boar, no one spoke a word as they hurried along the way.
Unexpectedly, they encountered Fu Ming, who was carrying chestnuts down the mountain, when they were only halfway there.
"Big brother!"
"Ah Ming, where are your uncle and your brother Ah Lin?"
Fu Ming removed the chestnuts from his body and took several deep breaths.
"Your uncle and brother Alin are waiting for you in the woods. That wild boar is hard to move, so I said I'd go down the mountain to take a look first."
There really were wild boars!
Upon hearing this, Ye Zhuzi knew there was no time to stop and rest, so he quickly pulled the cart forward, carrying the chestnuts on it.
"Brother, you rest here for a bit, we'll go meet them!"
Fu Wan pointed out the direction where Ye Jianguo and Ye Lin were, then unscrewed the water bottle she was carrying and handed it to Fu Ming.
Fu Ming gulped down several mouthfuls, wiped his mouth, and then walked back in the direction Fu Wan and Li Chunhua had come from.
After walking for another ten minutes or so, with Ye Zhuzi's exclamation, Fu Wan saw Ye Jianguo and Ye Lin guarding the wild boar and waiting for them.
"Uncle Jianguo, you guys are really amazing! This wild boar looks like it'll have lots of meat!"
A pig that loves to eat honey, how could it not have lots of meat!
The wild boars attracted their attention, while the bags of chestnuts nearby failed to piqu their interest.
The men first put the burlap sacks of chestnuts onto the cart, then lifted the wild boar up and threw it onto the cart.
Fu Wan now truly realized how big the wild boar was; the cart was completely full, and if it weren't for the partition and the rope holding it in place, it would have fallen off.
Pulling this fully loaded cart was a skill in itself. Ye Zhuzi and another villager, Ye Shengli, pulled the cart, while Ye Lin, Ye Jianguo, and Fu Ming pushed it from behind.
As for Li Chunhua and Fu Wan, they were responsible for carrying the machetes they used.
The group descended the mountain in a grand procession, and the cartload of goods immediately attracted the attention of the villagers.
"Oh my goodness, where did this wild boar come from!"
"A wild boar! It really is a wild boar! Our village hasn't caught a wild boar in years!"
Given the wild boars coming down from the mountains and destroying crops, everyone hates them to the core.
Seeing such a robust wild boar, some people couldn't resist taking a bite.
Wild boar meat may not be as good as domestic pork, but it's cheaper!
"Jianguo, how did you catch this wild boar?!"
Ye Jianguo chuckled, his eyebrows practically flying with pride. "This wild boar stole honey and got stung by wild bees, crashing into a tree and dying. It'll just rot on the mountain anyway, so we might as well pick it up and eat it a few times."
"This isn't just for a few meals; this wild boar weighs at least two hundred pounds."
Even people who hadn't bought meat in a long time couldn't resist asking, "Jianguo, are you selling pork?"
Ye Jianguo shook his head, "I still have to entertain the villagers who are building houses, I'm not selling!"
Upon hearing this, those who went to help build the house were overjoyed, while those who didn't go were filled with regret.
A figure squeezed through the crowd and approached shyly, "Dad, is there anything I can help you with?"
When Ye Jianguo saw it was his unfilial son Ye Jun, he snorted coldly and pretended not to see him.
Fu Wan and Li Chunhua opened the courtyard gate, and several men pulled the cart inside and then carried the wild boar down.
Chen Guifang didn't expect them to come back so quickly, and ran out from the backyard.
"Wow, what a big wild boar!"
Ye Jianguo walked behind, thinking to himself that the wild boar should be slaughtered while it was still fresh. Today's harvest was thanks to Awan and Aming. He would give half of the pork to Xiaocui and her husband to take back tomorrow so they could have a taste.
