Chapter 12: A rich harvest of prey shocked my grandfather's family



"This medicine is very effective. I feel much better." Shen Yuebai returned the water bag to Shen Shuli, his eyes full of gratitude.

"How do we get these prey down the mountain? It would be a shame if we just threw them away."

Not only Shen Yuebai was reluctant to leave, no one present was reluctant to leave.

Even three people together cannot lift a wild boar.

After all, Shen Yuebai suffered serious internal injuries.

Shen Shuli is a thirteen-year-old girl who doesn't have much strength.

Shen Ziqian can lift a maximum of 100 kilograms.

If we go down the mountain to call for help, these prey left here will soon be divided up by other prey.

It's not appropriate at all.

Although Shen Shuli has the space to cheat, she will never reveal her cards.

...

...

Shen Yuebai thought for a moment and said, "Ziqian, you and A Li go down the mountain together, and find some people to help. I'll stay here to guard the prey."

Shen Ziqian knew that his second uncle was injured and was worried about leaving him alone, so he refused directly.

"No, you are injured. It is not safe for you to be here alone. You and your cousin go back, and I will stay here."

Shen Shuli shook her head and sighed, "You two should wait here. Be careful. I'm fast. I'll go back to find someone."

Just when they were halfway there, Shen Shuli encountered a group of villagers going up the mountain.

The people who came were all relatives of the Shen family, about eight or nine of them.

Among them was Shen Yuebai's son Shen Zitan, who had met Shen Shuli at home.

After seeing who it was, he quickly ran forward to ask.

"Cousin, I finally found you! Are you okay?" Shen Zitan looked her up and down.

Seeing that there were large amounts of blood on her body, his face turned pale instantly, "You are injured!"

Shen Shuli quickly explained: "Don't worry, I'm fine. This is all blood from the prey. You came at the right time. My second uncle got a lot of prey this time. Everyone help carry it down the mountain."

Shen Zitan did not dare to delay and quickly called on everyone to follow.

Everybody is very fast.

Seven wild boars, a silly spore, and a bunch of pheasants and rabbits were carried down the mountain by the crowd.

Now it is a year of famine, and Baishi Village is no exception. Every household is running out of food.

In order to avoid being targeted by the villagers, the Shen family tacitly chose a hidden path, and as it was already dark, they transported the prey back to the Shen family quietly.

After the Shen family finished lunch.

Shen Yuehua immediately took her eldest brother, eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law and drove a ox cart into the county town to inquire about the news.

When she came back and found that Shen Shuli and Shen Ziqian had not returned yet, Shen Yuehua immediately became anxious.

She quickly told Old Man and Old Lady Shen that the two might have gone into the mountains to look for her second brother.

After hearing this, Old Man Shen poked his daughter on the forehead and called her stupid.

He immediately went to the village to call his younger brothers and asked them to gather the men in the family to help search for people in the mountains.

"I'm back, I'm back!"

Boss Shen Yuehui stood at the foot of the mountain and kept staring at the mountain. When he saw a group of people coming back, he quickly said something to his family.

After saying that, he quickly opened the gate and let everyone carry the prey in.

The Shen family was terrified when they saw the wild boars all over the yard.

They know too well how capable Shen Yuebai is.

It was definitely not something he could bring back by himself with so many wild boars.

"Second brother, why are there so many wild boars?" Old man Shen waved to the second brother and asked.

The others also pricked up their ears curiously.

"Hey, Dad, I hunted only two wild boars here, the rest are all thanks to Ah Li."

Shen Yuebai was a simple and honest person, and he immediately told everyone what had happened in the mountains.

"Dad, if my niece hadn't arrived in time to save me, I would have died under the siege of the wild boars."

Shen Yuebai felt a lingering fear when he thought of that thrilling scene.

When the people in the yard heard this thrilling scene, their hearts were in their throats.

Hearing that it was this niece (granddaughter) who was taken away by mistake when she was young who saved Shen Yuebai, everyone looked at Shen Shuli with gratitude and curiosity.

"Ali, good boy, thanks to you for saving your second uncle, grandma really doesn't know how to thank you." Old Mrs. Shen's eyes were red with excitement, and she held Shen Shuli's hand and kept thanking her.

She only had two sons and one daughter in her life. If it weren't for her granddaughter, she would have lost a son. How could she not be grateful?

"Grandma, it's just a coincidence. I naturally want to lend a hand when I meet you." Shen Shuli said politely, and then glanced at her mother.

How could Old Mrs. Shen not know that this was a polite remark from her granddaughter?

The mountains are so vast, how could we possibly meet by chance?

He must have been worried about my second uncle so he rushed over to save him!

I never expected that this granddaughter saved her son as soon as she was recognized. This favor is so great!

Shen Yuehua received her daughter's look for help and knew that she didn't like being surrounded by people she wasn't familiar with, so she quickly changed the subject.

"Mom, let's find a way to deal with this meat!"

"The weather is so hot, I'm afraid it will stink overnight. We also have to be careful that other people in the village will know about it and have bad intentions. You guys need to come up with a plan on how to deal with it."

Old Mrs. Shen's attention was immediately diverted, and she quickly looked at her man and let him make the decision.

Old Man Shen thought about it, turned to Shen Shuli, and asked in a low voice: "Ali, I want to give one to your second grandfather's family to thank them for finding people to carry prey in the mountains. What do you think?"

Among these prey, at least five wild boars were killed by Shen Shuli, and no one else had the right to make the distribution for her.

She was quite satisfied that her grandfather's polite inquiry did not bypass her and he made the decision directly, so she nodded without hesitation.

The main reason is that the wild boar meat tastes terrible. If it were replaced with mutton or beef, she would definitely not agree so generously.

"It's all up to grandpa." Shen Shuli smiled and nodded in agreement.

Old Man Shen breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, for he was afraid of upsetting his granddaughter. The main reason was that there was too much meat and it would go bad if it wasn't processed quickly.

Moreover, he will compensate his granddaughter in other ways and will not let her suffer any loss.

"Second brother, I'll give your family a wild boar as a thank you for your help today. Process it all tonight. Whether you want to eat it, pickle it, or sell it, do it at my house to avoid carrying it around and getting seen causing trouble." Old Man Shen called to his younger brother.

Upon hearing this, Shen Huaikang immediately waved his hand and sternly refused.

They were just helping out and didn't put in any effort, so how could they get a share of the wild boar?

Isn't that a lack of conscience?

As he said this, he was about to call his children and grandchildren to go back quickly.

Old man Shen was quick-witted and quickly ran a few steps to lock the door of his yard.

"Just do as I say. I know you don't have any extra food at home. This meat will be enough to sustain you for a while after it's processed."

Shen Huaikang couldn’t help but be moved when he heard this.

He knew his own situation well. If the drought continued like this, it would not last for many days.

Seeing his brother's expression relax, Shen Huaian quickly continued: "Come with me to the main hall, I have something important to tell you."
