Su Yan wasn't a greedy person. Besides the he shou wu in that area, there were also more than ten kilograms of black goji berries and 600-year-old ginseng. She planned to look for the remaining lingzhi and dendrobium next time she went into the mountains.
Firstly, it's already getting dark, and if she doesn't go home soon, her family will be worried sick.
Secondly, if we convert the harvest into money, we can repair Grandpa's house and buy a house in town.
This time, she was very fortunate to have Wei Wu; otherwise, she wouldn't have dared to venture into the deep mountains alone without having explored the area thoroughly.
A man and a tiger accompanied each other down the mountain.
Back at the location of the two wild boars, Su Yan was covered in medicinal herbs. Even with her hands, she couldn't move the two wild boars by herself.
So she turned her pleading gaze to Wei Wu.
Mighty: "..." I might as well exhaust the tiger!
"Grandpa, could you help me drag the wild boar down to the foot of the mountain? I'll cook something delicious for you tonight and bring it up to you tomorrow morning!"
Tiger: Roar!
For the sake of food, Grandpa Tiger endured it.
It carried two wild boars in its mouth and led the way down the mountain.
As dusk approached, we reached the foot of the mountain in less than an hour.
Su Yan felt so heavy that she could lie down at any moment.
"Alright, hide the smaller end behind that tree. I'll call someone to come and move it. You should also hurry home and be careful!"
Su Yan quickly finished giving her instructions and was about to leave when she suddenly felt a tightness on her leg.
Looking down, she saw Weiwu biting her trouser leg, raising his tiger eyes to look at her with extreme displeasure.
Su Yan took a few seconds to understand what it meant, and was immediately amused and exasperated. She stroked its tiger head and comforted it, "Sorry, I almost forgot. You wait for me by this rock tomorrow, and hide if you see anyone, okay?"
Upon hearing this, Weiwu finally let go, satisfied, and carried the little wild boar behind a tree as she instructed.
Su Yan... I didn't know tigers were so intelligent.
Without delay, she quickened her pace to get home.
It's lunchtime now, and everyone is cooking, so no one is out wandering around the village.
But just in case, Su Yan went home through the back door.
Upon entering the courtyard, Li Juan, who had just finished get off work, panicked and was about to go out to find the brigade leader when she heard the sound at the back door and subconsciously looked over.
When she saw her daughter, whose clothes were tattered and whose body was covered in belongings, she was stunned at first, and then tears streamed down her face.
"Where have you been, you brat? Do you know how worried we were? We thought you'd disappeared!"
Li Juan strode forward, raising her hand to slap Su Yan's arm, but seeing her haggard face and tired expression, she ultimately couldn't bring herself to do it, and helped her take the things down with tears in her eyes.
Grandma Li and Grandpa Li couldn't sit still any longer.
"Yan, what happened to you? How did you get into this state?" Grandma Li was extremely worried.
Grandpa Li, who appeared calm on the surface, also stepped forward to help, but his slightly trembling hands and red-rimmed eyes betrayed his true emotions. He kept repeating, "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back..."
Su Lei rushed over and hugged Su Yan's leg, looking aggrieved, and said, "Sis, we thought you were missing."
Looking at her family's worried faces, Su Yan felt extremely guilty and regretted not telling them.
"Mom, Grandma and Grandpa, I'm so sorry. I went up the mountain to collect herbs today, but I got lost and wasted a lot of time, which is why I'm only getting home now. I'm sorry for making you worry. I won't do it again." Su Yan lowered her head in shame.
She didn't want her family to worry, but she still made things worse.
Perhaps it's due to her personality in her past life; she was used to doing things her own way and didn't consider things thoroughly, forgetting that she now has a family.
Thinking about this, she felt even more guilty.
Seeing her daughter's pitiful, downcast expression as she admitted her mistake, Li Juan couldn't bear to scold her anymore. Her anxious mood turned into deep concern. "What happened to you, my dear girl? You've gotten yourself into this state, and your clothes are all torn."
Su Yan's current state can only be described as wretched; her clothes are so tattered that you'd think she'd been abused!
Li Juan's alarm bells went off instantly. She looked at Su Yan with a serious expression and asked, "Did anyone see you when you came back?"
Su Yan paused for a moment, then shook her head. "No, I was afraid someone would find out, so I went around to the back to get home."
Hearing this, Li Juan finally felt relieved. "That's good."
"Mom, let's not talk about that now. I found a wild boar that weighs 400 pounds. I need to tell the brigade leader and have someone bring it back."
Before Li Juan could react, Su Yan shoved the basket into her hands and instructed, "Mother, there are six-hundred-year-old wild ginseng and other things on the ground in here. You and Grandpa should move them into the room and make sure no one else finds them."
After saying this, she prepared to leave.
Li Juan was stunned by her daughter's words, but quickly stopped her, "No, no, you should go change your clothes first. What if people misunderstand?"
Su Yan stopped and looked down at herself; indeed, she could be misunderstood.
...
Five minutes later.
"Bang bang bang!"
The captain's door was being pounded on so hard it was shaking.
The captain, who had just picked up his bowl and chopsticks, was so frightened that he trembled and got up again before his bottom even touched the stool.
"Which starving ghost is knocking on the door? You've smashed my door to pieces!"
A sensible person wouldn't come knocking at this hour, would they?
The captain opened the door in frustration, only to find Su Yan looking disheveled.
Before he could speak, the little girl pulled him outside. "Captain, I found a dead wild boar, about 400 pounds. You need to take some men up the mountain and carry it down quickly, or it will be snatched away by wild animals."
