Chapter 23 He is no lighter than a wild boar
Now, the first step is to find the nearby villages.
Su Ying took out some dry food from her body and handed it to Xiao Jin.
Xiao Jin looked at her in confusion. He clearly didn't feel anything on her when she was carrying him yesterday. How come she was carrying so much dry food?
After eating the dry food, Su Ying carried Xiao Jin down the hill and walked along the direction of the water flow. It was easier to encounter villages on both sides of the water flow.
The vegetation here is more lush than the previous mountains, and it is very cool in the mountains. Su Ying didn't sweat a drop after walking for such a long time.
I don’t know if I can meet someone today.
"If you're tired, stop and rest for a while." Xiao Jin said when he saw Su Ying slowing down.
Su Yingen said, and put him down on a big rock nearby.
"The trees here block out the sun, so it's hard to tell the direction."
Su Ying was about to sit down when she was suddenly pulled away by Xiao Jin.
Su Ying turned around and saw a wild boar rushing towards them.
Xiao Jin grabbed a stone beside him and held it in his hand, but was pulled back by Su Ying, "You have internal injuries, so don't use your internal energy casually." As she said that, she pulled Xiao Jin and hid behind the stone under him.
The wild boar soon rushed past them from behind.
Su Ying didn't want to miss this opportunity to catch a pig!
She let go of Xiao Jin and stood up. "Wait here, I'll be back soon."
Su Ying rushed out like an arrow.
Xiao Jin stood up with his hands on a big rock, turned around and looked in the direction where the wild boar was rushing, and saw several people who looked like hunters chasing towards him.
Those people ran over and were very surprised to see Xiao Jin sitting on the big rock. "Brother, did you see a wild boar running over here?"
Xiao Jin thought about it, then stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction where Su Ying disappeared.
After expressing their gratitude, a few people ran over there.
About a quarter of an hour later, Su Ying came back with the hunters. Several hunters were carrying a wild boar on a thick wooden stick.
"It was really dangerous just now. If you hadn't dodged quickly, the wild boar would have hit you."
"That's right. This pig was doomed to die. Instead of hitting the young lady, it hit a big rock and died."
Su Ying looked at the wild boar with a painful expression on her face, its head was smashed into a bloody mess. Just now, she was almost able to get the wild boar into the storage space!
Su Ying was a little depressed at losing a pig for no reason.
Xiao Jin looked at her depressed expression and guessed what was going on.
After all, they still need these people to take them out of the forest, so just give this pig to them.
"It's just a pig." Su Ying walked up to him and Xiao Jin spoke in a low voice.
Su Ying understood what he meant, but she still glared at him. Does he know how much meat is on a pig?
Xiao Jin ignored her glare, looked at the happy hunter and said, "Brothers, could you take us down the mountain?"
The hunters caught the pig and started to mind their own business. "Are you lost in the mountains?"
Xiao Jin nodded, "Yes, I never left."
"That's easy. We just want to bring the prey back. You can come down the mountain with us."
Xiao Jin nodded slightly, "Thank you."
Su Ying could only carry Xiao Jin on her back. Even without the pig, at least they could get out of here.
"The sun will surely set after we go down the mountain, and they will then invite us to stay for dinner." Xiao Jin's voice sounded faintly behind him.
"Can you give us food?" Su Ying paused.
"kindness."
She had never eaten farm food before, and perhaps it tasted different.
Thinking of this, Su Ying's frustration at not being able to hide the pig instantly disappeared.
Xiao Jin looked at her relaxed brows and slightly raised the corners of his lips. He was a person who was easily satisfied.
Several hunters were surprised to see Su Ying carrying Xiao Jin on her back without changing her expression. Only then did they realize that Xiao Jin's legs seemed to be injured.
How could a woman be allowed to carry a man? A hunter stepped forward and said, "Young lady, this mountain road is not easy to walk on. Let me carry your husband on my back."
Su Ying shook her head indifferently, "No, you guys can just carry the pig. It's not much lighter than a pig, I can just carry it on my back."
Xiao Jin: “…”
"This, is this really going to work?" Some hunters felt that Su Ying was just holding on. Xiao Jin was so tall, and even though he looked thin, if he pressed on Su Ying, his body could instantly wrap her up.
"Don't worry, I carried him all the way."
"Thank you for your kindness. I'll let my wife carry it on her back." Xiao Jin also said.
These words made several hunters look at Su Ying in shock.
If Xiao Jin told them that Su Ying could carry their wild boar easily, I wonder what they would think.
Just as Xiao Jin said, the sun had already set when they came down from the mountain.
A quiet little mountain village is located at the foot of the mountain.
Everyone was very happy today as they had hunted some prey. While chatting on the way, Su Ying learned that these hunters were a family and made a living by hunting.
After coming down the mountain, they warmly invited Su Ying and her friends to their home.
Su Ying agreed readily.
The hunter's home is near the foot of the mountain. Perhaps to prevent attacks from wild beasts, their courtyard walls are built with blue bricks. There are five large blue brick and tiled houses in the yard, and there are also many chickens and ducks in the yard. It seems that this family's living standard should be good. After all, the family living diagonally opposite them still lives in a thatched house made of yellow mud.
"Mom, we're back." The man walking in front shouted towards the main room, and a middle-aged woman who was thin but very nimble came out.
She saw her brothers catch the wild boar and laughed happily, which made the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes look even deeper.
"We're going to take this wild boar to town to sell it tomorrow. The second brother said that we'll have the money for our wife."
Aunt Wang accidentally saw Su Ying and the other two following behind the brothers, and asked in confusion, "What is this..."
The eldest son Zhang Shan said with a smile: "Mom, this is Miss Su and her husband whom we met on the mountain. They were traveling on the mountain but accidentally got lost. They happened to run into us, so I asked them to follow us down the mountain."
Aunt Wang was a kind woman. When she heard what Zhang Shan said, a look of worry appeared on her face, and she kept asking Su Ying and the others to come into the house.
"How long have you been in the mountains? You must be hungry. I have prepared food in the pot. You can stay and eat tonight."
Su Ying was thinking the same thing, "Thank you very much."
Seeing that she agreed, Aunt Wang smiled and walked out the door, "Wait a minute, I'll go get you two more dishes."
"Then why bother you, Auntie?"
"It's not a big deal. It's quick to cook two dishes." Aunt Wang said and turned around and left the house.
The floor paved with blue diamonds was very flat and comfortable to walk on, and the main room was also very bright. Unlike the warships of those days, the atmosphere of fireworks everywhere made Su Ying like it very much.
"Do you like it here?" Xiao Jin asked casually while reading her book.
Su Ying nodded, "That's good." It was quiet and peaceful. Even though there were some minor conflicts between people, they were harmless.
Xiao Jin took a sip of water. Could it be that just an ordinary farmhouse made her so satisfied?
He was very curious about what kind of environment she had lived in before.
