When Xu Yi and the others arrived, Fu Man'er had just turned around. Her gray clothes were covered in bloodstains, and even her little face was stained.
"Man'er!" Everyone felt that the moss under their feet was too slippery, and their legs were so weak that they were about to fall.
But Fu Man'er was a little heartless; she grinned and said, "Brother, you're here."
With blood on his face and those white teeth, Wang Erdan's legs trembled. This little girl from the Xu family looked a bit creepy.
He just wanted to come along and collect some fish, don't scare him...

"How did you end up here? What happened to the blood on you?" Xu Yi squatted down in front of her, looking her up and down anxiously, but she seemed to be alright.
“Brother, pig.” Fu Man’er pointed at them with great interest and looked ahead.
At the foot of the mountain, there was a large, dark-colored thing lying there. "A wild boar!" The children huddled together in fear. In their minds, wild boars were extremely ferocious and could swallow a child whole.
“It’s dead,” Fu Man’er said. The wild boar had been lying on the ground for a while and hadn’t moved at all.
The children were still scared. "Let's go back quickly. If that wild boar comes over, none of us will be able to escape."
Wang Erdan gripped Xu Wen's arm tightly, barely managing to stay upright.
Xu Yi remained relatively calm. He composed himself and noticed that the blood had splattered so far, indicating that they had made some noise, yet the wild boar had not moved.
"Man'er, how did it get here?" Xu Yi asked again, just to be on the safe side.
Fu Man'er raised her finger and pointed upwards.

Xu Yi didn't believe that a wild boar would fall from the sky. Looking at the many scattered rocks around, it must have fallen from the cliff. At such a height, the wild boar was most likely dead.
"Brother?" Xu Yi decided to go forward to check on him, but Xu Mao quickly pulled him back.
"It's alright, I'll go check if it's really dead. You all go wait over there." As he spoke, he broke off a long branch from the side, intending to probe the area closer to the wild boar.
Before they had even left, several pebbles were thrown at them, hitting the wild boar squarely in the rump. "Man'er!" Xu Mao was terrified, fearing the wild boar would be turned around.
“It really is dead.” Seeing that they didn’t believe her, Fu Man’er had no choice but to prove it to them. She threw pebbles at it one after another, but the wild boar didn’t budge.
The dead wild boar: Even in death, it cannot find peace...
"Is he really dead?" Wang Erdan hid behind Xu Mao, peeking out with half his head.
Xu Yi had already walked up and seen the pig's front. The pig had really been thrown hard; its head was cracked, and there were also cuts on its body.
Seeing Xu Yi go over, Xu Mao and the others boldly followed. "Hey, don't leave me behind!" Wang Erdan was still scared and wanted to stick to Xu Mao.
Fu Man'er took a few steps, then suddenly remembered something and turned back. "Sister, let me hold your hand and we'll go together." She had just seen this older sister trembling and was worried that she was scared.

The girl was unconsciously led over by Fu Man'er. Wang Erdan was surprised to see her and asked, "Lu Sheng? What are you doing here?"
I was so scared that I didn't even notice there was another person there.
Lu Sheng? Fu Man'er silently repeated it to herself. Was that the older sister's name?
The girl called Lu Sheng didn't speak, she just lowered her head. Wang Erdan had only asked casually, not expecting her to answer.
"How are we going to get this wild boar back?" The wild boar was quite large, with long tusks. Although it was dead, they were still terrified and didn't dare touch it, let alone take it back.
"Luckily, Dad and Second Uncle didn't go out today. Xu Mao, take Xiao Wen and go find them so the adults can come and carry it." It's already difficult for the few children to lift it, let alone walk on the slippery mossy path.
Xu Mao and Xu Wen responded and got up to leave, but Wang Erdan quickly grabbed them, "I'll go with you." The smell of blood was extremely strong, and he could even see the brains that had been thrown out. He had been gagging for a long time, and if he kept gagging, he would die.
"You've got guts." Xu Yi glanced at him and then added, "Don't tell those kids outside about this later."
"Huh, why?" Xu Mao asked, puzzled. He wanted to show off to them and take them to see the big wild boar later.
"Idiot." Xu Wu glanced at his dim-witted second brother. "What if others see us and try to steal our wild boar?"
Discussion group
The way he spoke made him seem like his six-year-old brother and Xu Mao, who was seven, his younger brother.
"That won't do. This is because my sister just found the wild boar. We can't let others take it." With this in mind, Xu Mao and Xu Wen kept their mouths tightly shut and kept their faces tense, trying not to be too happy so as not to be discovered.
Even though the Xu family tried to hide it, such a large wild boar was still spotted by others.
Suddenly, many people came up and asked, "Did your family go hunting in the mountains behind the house?"
Grandma Xu's eyes narrowed into slits with laughter. "Oh, what hunting? Our Man'er is lucky. She ran into a wild boar that fell off that cliff. Hehehe."
"It really fell to its death? What good luck!" Everyone kept glancing at the wild boar.
Grandma Xu lifted the straw covering the head, exclaiming, "Oh my, that was terrifying!" The head was broken, and bloody brain tissue was exposed.
Grandma Xu is usually not very talkative, but today she answered everyone's questions with a kind expression, which made many people feel a pang of sadness.
"Oh my, the Xu family is really lucky! Old Mrs. Xu is all smiles."
"They were really lucky. I saw them selling bamboo shoots in town the other day. I wonder how much they made. They went home early."

“Yesterday his eldest grandson was selling fish at the village entrance. I took a look and the fish were huge. I asked him about it and he said they were 20 coins a fish.”
"I bet this wild boar weighs at least four or five hundred pounds. The Xu family is about to have a stroke of good luck."
"What kind of incredible luck is that? If they were really that lucky, would their family be so poor?"
Some people in the crowd retorted, "Your family isn't poor, but you're not like other families who have such a big wild boar. No one's life is good from the start; it gets better little by little."
"I think you're just jealous of them." These words came from Granny Zhou, a neighbor of the Xu family, whose two families had always been on good terms.
Granny Zhou spat a few words, then called her daughter-in-law and headed towards the Xu family's house.
The person behind her glared at her and muttered, "Pah, she's rushing to get there now just to get a little meat from them. How dare she say such things?"
