Xu Minghao looked up and saw Qi Xinlan's face flushed. Thinking it was from the sun, he felt a little distressed. He took off his straw hat, put it on her head and said, "Well, the weather is too hot. You go find a cool place to rest. I'll finish this and come over."
Qi Xinlan obediently walked towards a big tree, and when she passed by Qi Xinwei, she called him to have dinner together.
After Xu Minghao finished the last bit of work, he sat down to eat with Qi Xinwei. The moment they opened the lunch boxes, an overbearing and pungent aroma instantly took their breath away.
"What is this?" Qi Xinwei asked first, his mouth watering with greed.
"This is spicy rabbit meat. It's delicious. Come and try it." Qi Xinlan asked them to eat quickly.
Qi Xinwei couldn't wait to pick up a piece of rabbit meat and stuff it into his mouth. His eyes lit up and he picked up another piece and soon couldn't stop eating.
Seeing Qi Xinwei's expression, Xu Haoming knew that it was delicious, so he picked up a piece to taste. The rabbit meat was tender, delicious and fragrant, and the spicy stimulation brought by the chili and peppercorns made people want to eat more.
Qi Xinwei and Xu Minghao gave Qi Xinlan face and finished all the food in no time, not even leaving any soup.
At this time, a familiar voice came from a distance, "Haozi, Haozi, so you are here!"
Qi Xinlan looked in the direction of the voice and saw that it was Xu Minghao's childhood friends, Canzi, Chenzi and Tanzi.
"Haozi, I looked for you at home. My aunt said you went to Qi's house. I went to Qi's house to look for you again. Aunt Zhao said you came to the fields. I finally found you. I was so tired." Tan Zi said breathlessly.
"What do you want from me?" Xu Minghao raised his eyelids and asked.
"Haozi, you are so awesome. The trap you set last time has been refilled. It's a big wild boar, at least two or three hundred pounds. Let's hurry and get it out." Chenzi said excitedly.
"Haozi, the trap you set is too complicated. We dare not act rashly for fear of accidental injury. You should come with us to take a look." Shenzi looked a little anxious.
"Okay, let's go." Xu Minghao stood up and patted the dust off his body.
"Brother, I want to go too. I haven't seen a wild boar yet." Qi Xinlan's eyes lit up and he looked excited.
"Okay, let's go together." Xu Minghao nodded. He would be worried if she went back alone, so it would be better for her to go with them.
A group of people set out towards the mountains in a mighty procession.
Qi Xinlan had never been to the mountains before, partly because she was timid and partly because no one had taken her there. The forest was devoid of bushes, filled only with towering, thousand-year-old trees. Their branches intertwined, their lush leaves spreading out like emerald green clouds, completely obscuring the blue sky.
Qi Xinlan followed them and soon came to a big pit. Inside was a big wild boar, weighing about two or three hundred pounds. It had a strong body, short and thick limbs, and long and hard bristles on its back. It was brown in color overall.
"My goodness, this wild boar is so big. You are so lucky." Qi Xinwei was also very surprised when he saw it. He had never seen such a big wild boar. It's not that no one has hunted wild boars before, but at most they weighed only more than 100 pounds.
Qi Xinwei is very envious of them now. Wild boars are very valuable and should be able to be sold for three or four hundred yuan. I just don’t know whether they are going to eat them or sell them.
"That's right. Every time I go hunting with Haozi, I never come back empty-handed." Tan Zi said proudly. If Haozi hadn't joined the army, he would have hunted more.
"Okay, stop talking, let's get the wild boar up quickly." Shenzi was already impatient and interrupted them.
Then several men took great effort to get the wild boar out of the pit, and carried it down the mountain in a mighty procession.
Qi Xinlan and Xu Minghao walked at the back, and everyone consciously gave them private space.
"Brother, do you think that's ginseng?" Qi Xinlan inadvertently glanced at a flower that looked very much like ginseng, grabbed Xu Minghao's clothes, and whispered.
"Let's go and take a look." Xu Minghao said softly.
The place where this ginseng grows is very secluded, and is covered by many small grasses. If one of its petals had not been exposed and was seen by Qi Xinlan, she would probably have thought it was a wild flower.
"Brother, it's really ginseng!!" Qi Xinlan walked closer to take a look. The leaves were palmate compound leaves with fine serrations and bristles on the edges, exactly the same as in the book.
Qi Xinlan was very excited at this time?(?＞＜?)?!
"Well, I'm lucky." Xu Minghao smiled when he saw Qi Xinlan so happy.
"Brother, hurry up and dig. I'll keep watch for you." Qi Xinlan looked around and urged Xu Minghao.
"Okay." After Xu Minghao said that, he squatted down and started digging. After a while, he dug out the ginseng.
Qi Xinlan looked at the size of the ginseng. It was at least two or three hundred years old and should be able to be sold for seven or eight hundred yuan.
"Brother, how about we sell this ginseng and split the profits 50-50?" Qi Xinlan's eyes sparkled.
"No splitting, all is given to you, but you have to agree to one condition of mine." Xu Minghao's deep eyes fell on Qi Xinlan's bright red lips, and his voice was a little hoarse.
"What conditions?" Qi Xinlan asked stupidly.
"That's it..." Xu Minghao's eyes gradually darkened, and he slowly approached Qi Xinlan.
As Xu Minghao approached, the scent of male hormones hit her face. Qi Xinlan's cheeks turned red, and she looked shy and charming, but she did not refuse. This made Xu Minghao happy, and his eyes were full of fanaticism. He pressed his thin lips against her red lips.
This touch was like a spark that ignited the sparse grassland and became uncontrollable. Even the grass on the side curled up shyly.
Finally, Qi Xinlan returned home with her mouth still red and swollen.
She hadn't expected Xu Minghao to be so passionate. It hadn't been like this in her previous life. Was it true that all men were like this after tasting something dirty? If her mouth hadn't been so painful, Xu Minghao wouldn't have let her go.
Tan Zichen and his companions, who were carrying the wild boar down the mountain, received envious glances from the villagers. Now that the land has been opened up, they all have their own land. As long as they work hard, they won't starve to death. However, even if they don't starve to death, it will still be difficult to eat meat.
It is not like before when the prey caught was public property and everyone could get a share. After the reform, everyone relies on their own ability and whoever catches it owns it. No one dares to share the pork.
Qi Xinwei, Tan Zi and a few villagers who helped killed the pig skillfully and cut the meat into large chunks. When everyone saw so much meat, they couldn't help but swallow their saliva. They hadn't eaten meat for a long time.
Tan Zi and his companions tactfully distributed the meat to the villagers who had helped them. The villagers who had helped were very happy after getting the meat, while those who had not received the meat were very upset that they had not helped.
"Lan Zi, what's wrong with your mouth?" Qi Xinwei saw Qi Xinlan and Xu Minghao from a distance, but when Qi Xinwei saw that his sister's lips were red and swollen, he couldn't help but ask with concern.
Upon hearing this, Tan Zi and the others looked up and saw that Qi Xinlan's mouth was indeed red and swollen. She made ambiguous faces at Xu Minghao, and her expressions looked as if she was asking for a beating.
"Um, it's just...it's just...there are too many mosquitoes on the mountain, and I was bitten by them." Qi Xinlan blushed and stuttered a little.
