After the bushes shook for a while, someone was seen walking out from inside. He was also very alert, holding a bow and arrow in his hand. It was obvious that he had come up the mountain to hunt like them.
"Brother Wen, why are you going up the mountain again?"
Lianyi pushed An He away and spoke to the person opposite.
When the other party saw Lian Yi and his group of four, he was also stunned for a moment, then he put away the bow and arrow in his hand and said:
"I dug a trap on the mountain and came up to see if there was any harvest."
Lianyi and the others now understood that the trap was actually set by Brother Wen.
Wen Zhaoming did not expect to meet Miss Su again. It seemed that they were here to hunt as well. He immediately saw a pheasant with an arrow in the hand of one of the guards. He quickly glanced and found that the trap he had dug was also destroyed.
Lian Yi smiled and said:
"I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. I shot a pheasant and it fell into your trap."
This explains why his trap was destroyed.
"It's okay. The pheasant is the young lady's prey. I will rearrange the trap."
Wen Zhaoming saw clearly that the arrow had pierced the pheasant's neck directly. It must have fallen into the trap after it died, otherwise, with the depth of the trap he dug, the pheasant would have been able to fly out.
"Since we met, it's fate. We hunted this pheasant together. We'll each have half. It's noon now, so we'll roast it to offer to our stomachs."
Lianyi made the decision directly.
"this"
Wen Zhaoming wanted to refuse, but Lianyi did not give him the chance to do so.
"When you're done roasting, take it home and feed it to your little sister. It won't be too conspicuous. Your traps don't catch prey every day."
After listening to Lianyi's explanation and considering his family's situation and his sister's health, Wen Zhaoming nodded in agreement.
Because the autumn harvest had not yet ended, he didn't have much food left at home. In addition, there was a funeral at home before the autumn harvest, so he had no extra money.
The only one tael of silver and the two taels of silver saved from hunting were spent on my sister's medical treatment. Fortunately, my sister recovered.
Precisely because Miss Su was willing to help strangers who had nothing to do with her, in his eyes, Miss Su was a good person. Not only was she kind-hearted, but she was also very cautious in doing things. She did not take advantage of him just because he was a younger brother. Her character was guaranteed.
Lianyi didn't realize that she had been given the nice guy card, and felt that she had a connection with this burly young man.
Since their young lady had spoken, they acted quickly, starting a fire, preparing the pheasant, and starting to roast it. Half an hour later, Lianyi ate the pheasant, and the meat was still very chewy.
She didn't hesitate and finished half of the chicken, pulled a chicken leg for Wen Zhaoming, watched him finish it, and then wrapped the rest in oil paper and asked him to take it back.
Wen Zhaoming originally wanted to take the remaining half of the chicken back, but under Lianyi's tough attitude, he ate the chicken leg, thanked her and prepared to leave.
At this moment, He Hua stood up, drew the knife from her waist, and said seriously:
"Miss, there are wild animals approaching. You should hide behind the tree first. Cuihua and I will handle this."
As she finished her words, Cuihua, who was eating a pancake, also stood up. An He quickly pulled out a half-burned firewood and pulled his young lady back.
Lianyi also heard the grunting sound, obviously it was a wild boar, which was a good destroyer of crops, especially in the harvest season. Otherwise, it would be difficult to encounter one near the outskirts of the forest.
Wen Zhaoming quickly put an arrow on the bow, pointing the arrow towards the place where the sound came from, obviously not intending to let the prey go.
At this time, a two-hundred-pound black wild boar came out, followed by a slightly smaller one, and behind it were two little black piglets. It was obviously a family.
When Wen Zhaoming saw this, his eyes lit up. He aimed at the second, slightly smaller wild boar and shot the arrow directly.
At the same time, the leading boar had already rushed towards where Lianyi and the other three were. Hehua and Cuihua kept their expressions unchanged, and rushed forward with an angry shout. The two cooperated very well, jumped up to avoid the boar's fangs, and then stabbed the wild boar with half-length knives from the left and right at the same time.
The wild boar had thick skin and even its hair was a little prickly, so the two men held the knife handle with both hands and thrust it in with all their strength. Coupled with the inertia of the wild boar rushing forward, a long cut was left on its body, and blood gushed out instantly, and the two men were also pulled backwards.
An He took the opportunity to pull Lian Yi to avoid the wild boar. The wild boar rammed its head into the tree behind them, and the tree was even knocked crooked. It was conceivable how much strength this guy used.
When Lianyi saw that the wild boar was captured and the crisis on her side was resolved, she looked at Wen Zhaoming.
Wen Zhaoming had already shot three arrows in a row, hitting the wild boar's neck, body and hind legs respectively. The slightly smaller wild boar was covered in blood, but it still stubbornly charged towards Wen Zhaoming, obviously determined to kill him.
Wen Zhaoming was not panicked. He used the trees around him to hide and took the opportunity to draw his bow and shoot arrows. However, the wild boar was very fast and did not give him the chance to draw his bow and shoot arrows.
Lianyi immediately drew her bow and shot an arrow. This was her chance to show off. She was stronger than Wen Zhaoming. She pulled the bow into a full moon shape, aimed at the running wild boar, and quickly released the arrow. With a "whoosh", the arrow hit the wild boar's forehead directly. The wild boar ran two more steps before falling down.
Wen Zhaoming breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, and saw Miss Su putting away her bow. He praised:
"Miss Su, you have great archery skills!"
"good."
Ripple said modestly.
"An He, go get those two little piglets back."
"Yes, Miss!"
Seeing that the crisis was over, An He dared to leave Lian Yi. The two little piglets seemed to know that their parents were gone. They grunted twice and started running around, preparing to escape. An He, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed, picked them up one by one, and then found some vines to tie up the two piglets.
Hehua and Cuihua had already pulled the knives out of the wild boar, walked over to Lianyi and said:
"Miss, the smell of blood here is too strong. I'm afraid it will attract other wild animals. We'd better leave now."
"good."
Lian Yi knew more about this than his guards, so he turned to look at Wen Zhaoming and asked:
"Brother Wen, what are you going to do with the wild boar you hunted? Are you going to take it back yourself, or sell it to me directly? If you sell it to me, I will give you silver directly."
Wen Zhaoming thought for a moment and said:
"Miss Su, you also contributed to hunting this wild boar. Just give me half of the silver."
This was the result he had considered carefully. If he brought the whole pig back to the village, the eldest wife of the Wen family and the married Wen uncle would definitely come to ask for it. Since they were all elders, it would be difficult for him to refuse them openly. It would be better to hold the silver in his own hands, and he could use it to buy food. In case of any emergency, the family would have money for emergencies. After all, he was penniless now.
Lian Yi nodded after listening to this, and was sure that the other party was a smart man. She took out five taels of silver and threw it directly to Wen Zhaoming.
"Miss Su, this is too much."
