Early in the morning, at the village entrance, the people who had been looking out for a long time stared at the distant forest without blinking. They all hoped for a good harvest and hoped to eat meat.
Today is the day when the hunting team returns from hunting in the mountains. All the villagers are craning their necks to see the return of their village hero.
“I’m back… I’m back…”
"They're back! The hunting team is back..."
"Wild boars... I saw two big wild boars."
The sharp-eyed people all shared what they had seen, and when they mentioned wild boars, everyone's eyes lit up. Two of them, could everyone have a meal of meat?
"Wild boar... I saw a wild boar."
"Meat...meat..."
The little fat boy beside him also said meat, he wanted to eat meat too. Every day, the family kept saying that there would be meat to eat when the hunting team came back.
"I'm back... these two wild boars are really heavy!"
"Yeah! It's so rare to find such a heavy wild boar. This time the harvest is quite big."
“Yes, I gained a lot.”
Everyone lent a hand to the hunting team and chatted with them. The meaning of their words was obvious: this time, everyone would have meat.
"Let's go to the big square at the entrance of the village."
"Yes, yes, let's go there. Everything is ready."
The man with long legs had already notified everyone, and at this time, everyone began to look forward to the pig-killing banquet that was about to take place.
"Alright, let the village chief divide the two wild boars. Anyone injured should go to the clinic, and those with minor injuries can go to Doctor Hu at the end of the village for treatment."
Chen Chenfeng told the old headhunter that he needed to rush back home and the ginseng in his arms also needed to be dealt with.
"Got it, don't worry! We all know what's going on."
Naturally, they knew that their own health was important, so they all went about their own business. Anyway, it would take quite a while to wait for the pig-slaughtering banquet in the evening.
The village square was bustling with activity, with injured villagers busy tending to their wounds from the wild boars. Everyone was looking forward to the evening feast. The two large wild boars had made up for all their losses.
"A little wind... a little thunder... a little rain..."
As soon as Shen Chenfeng got home, he saw his three sons looking out the door. He was extremely excited and hugged them tightly. He threw them high in the air. This was their favorite sport. It cultivated their father-son relationship and made the children happy and noisy.
"Alright, let's all take a break! Aren't you tired? You've been in the mountains for such a long time, and I was almost worried sick at home."
Miao Guihua couldn't help but glare at Chen Chenfeng. She was the most worried person in the family, afraid something might happen to her child's father. Although the hunting team was large, her heart was always hanging in the balance, unable to rest assured. There was nothing she could do but pray that nothing bad would happen.
"It's okay, you know, I have a shotgun and I'm pretty good at it."
Shenchen Fengfeng smiled at Miao Guihua and pulled out his biggest prize from his pocket. He had wrapped the wild ginseng in red cloth. Although it was small, he knew that this small amount of ginseng was enough to provide nutrition for his daughter and wife.
"But no matter how good your skills are, a hunting rifle is useless."
The situation waits for no one, and time won't give you any chance to react. What if something happens? She doesn't want to gamble on this one in ten million chance. All she wants is for her family to be together happily.
"I understand. I will definitely obey the leader's arrangements in the future."
"You're the most naughty. I finally know who our kid looks like. He has the same personality as you, just like you."
Rolling her eyes, Miao Guihua took the ginseng. She had long known why Chen Chen Fengfeng wanted to go deep into the mountains this time. But it wasn't just him who cared about her; she was also worried about him getting hurt. It was better to avoid the forest as much as possible; the animals there weren't so easy to mess with.
Fortunately, I didn't encounter any tough guys this time, nor did I encounter any wolves or cheetahs. Hunting rifles can be intimidating, but they can't scare everyone. When you're out of bullets and your hunting rifle is useless, you're risking your life.
"The wild ginseng has arrived, and it's time to ask the old herbalist to prepare some medicine. You and your daughter both need to be properly nourished, otherwise you will suffer greatly in the future."
"Got it, don't worry! The recipe was given to me a long time ago. As for the herbs, they are readily available in the mountains. These won't be a problem."
"Really? How come I didn't know that?"
Shen Chenfeng frowned. Is she fooling people? If that is the case, he feels that he needs to think about it.
"It's true. I'll show you the recipe later."
Miao Guihua rolled her eyes, knowing he was thinking about this. Previously, because she didn't have the important medicinal ingredients, the recipe didn't have much effect. Now that Brother Chen had brought back the wild ginseng, she and her daughter really needed to nourish their bodies.
"Clean up later. The pig-killing banquet will start tonight."
"Did you get the wild boar? Are you hurt?"
Miao Guihua looked around anxiously at Shen Chenfeng, fearing that he would be injured. No matter whether there was a wild boar or not, or whether there were hunters or not, as long as he was not injured, that was the most reassuring thing.
"Don't worry! I'm fine. Pack up and come with me to the wild boar feast tonight."
"Got it. I'll go see if Xiao Si is awake."
"Then I'll take the three of them to the square to wait for you and your mother."
"Yeah, okay."
Miao Guihua thought about it and nodded. Anyway, these three boys had companions, so she could feel a lot more relaxed without having to watch over them.
"Guihua, we're going to Pingli. Do you want to come with us?"
“From the Shen family, do you want to come with us?”
The shouts outside the door infected everyone, and a joyful and harmonious atmosphere gradually gathered around them.
"No, you guys go first, I'll go later."
There was a sleeping daughter at home, and she didn't want to disturb her. Her health was already poor, and although she tried to live better than others, it wasn't much better. Furthermore, although they were surrounded by mountains and forests, competing with animals for resources in the forest was not an easy task.
"Okay, we'll wait for you in Pingli."
Everyone nodded and left together. They were all gathered in Pingli, where preparations for the evening's pig-killing feast had already begun. It was more festive than Chinese New Year, and the food was even better. Finally, everyone could loosen their belts and enjoy a good meal, satisfying their cravings.
"OK."
Miao Guihua cleaned the yard. Since they didn't keep chickens, ducks, or geese at home, the hygiene was pretty good. After she finished, she looked at the time and decided to go inside to wake her daughter up. The pig-killing feast was about to begin.
