“Why are we picking these herbs?”
"It seems that the patriarch is planning to plant herbs on a large scale."
"These herbs are valuable? How can you not see that?"
The villagers went to the mountains together to pick the required medicinal herbs. Although they were still unclear about the chief's plan, they expressed their unwavering faith in his words.
"I think it must have a purpose, otherwise the clan leader wouldn't need to pay so much attention to it."
"Yeah, that's what I thought."
"Let's get this sorted quickly and stop chatting."
"Yes, yes, herbs are more important."
They all nodded. The herbs were more important, so they didn't bother. The clan leader's order was important, so they shouldn't bother. Besides, there must be something big going on this time, otherwise they wouldn't have specifically notified us to gather the herbs.
"Yeah, then, let's hurry up!"
Herbs were converted into work points, which were money, like food. No one felt that collecting herbs was any more tiring than farming, because the work points earned from herbal medicine were far greater. With sufficient work points and the work being easy, many people felt that collecting herbs was far more rewarding than anything else.
"Yeah... together."
The entire Xiashan Village was out in force, men, women, and children carrying baskets and hoes. Shen Yun and his mother were among them, and their popularity was evident from this. They came over to say hello from time to time, with unparalleled enthusiasm.
"Niuniu...Niuniu...over here, we are all here."
"Niuniu... come here quickly."
"Here...here..."
"Go ahead! Mom can just follow these aunts."
Miao Guihua rubbed Chen Yun's head, a look of pity on her face. She didn't want her child to be isolated from others, but Niuniu simply didn't want to socialize. This would only isolate her from the group, but she could do nothing about it.
"All right."
Seeing this, Chen Yun did not insist and walked aside to look at his brother and the circle of friends around him. His silly brother was much more popular in the village than Chen Yun. The main reason was that Chen Yun had been a child in the eyes of others since he was a child. No one was willing to interact with such a person, which put a certain amount of psychological pressure on him.
"Niuniu... follow me today. I'll take you to get something good."
Chen Yu wanted to show off in front of his sister. This time, he and a few friends around him agreed to go to the wild boar den. It would be best if they could kill a few wild boars, because wild boars are pests, waste food, and have strong reproductive ability.
"What good things can you get?"
"Hehe, don't underestimate me. This time, I'll show you a good lesson."
"Yeah! Niuniu, just watch! This time, we're going big."
Everyone wanted to show off in front of the girls they liked. Most of Chen Yu's friends had some feelings for Chen Yun, but no one dared to show it. The Shen brothers, who were obsessed with their sister, were a huge threat, and with their father-in-law watching over them, not everyone had the courage and guts to do it.
"Really?" Looking at the group of people suspiciously, Shen Yun expressed that he didn't quite believe it.
"Of course it's true. Just wait till you can eat wild boar meat!"
Shen Yu couldn't help but want to hit her sister. If she looked at him like that again, she would be careful that he would leave her here.
"Okay then. I'll be waiting for your wild boar meat. As long as you don't ask me to rescue you, everything will be fine."
Shen Yun didn't really trust his brothers. If it was the eldest and second brothers, there might be a chance, but the third brother... after thinking about it, he decided to forget it. The third brother's fighting ability was not strong. Looking at the group of young people around him, he was not willing to believe that they could take down the wild boar's lair.
A fully grown wild boar could rival a tiger and even a blind bear in strength; otherwise, it wouldn't have become such a dominant force in the mountains. They were simply being presented with food. It was a horrific sight, and I didn't know how they had the audacity to think they could succeed.
"Alright! You guys lead the way, I'll follow you."
Shen Yun counted her small bag and took out her belongings as usual. She had everything a medical student should have: sleeping pills, hemostatics, detoxification pills, silver needles... so she had no worries when she was out and about. Even if she was left in the wild or deep in the mountains and forests, she could still survive well.
"Haha...that's best."
Chen Yu and his brothers exchanged glances, each seeing the confidence in the other's eyes. Yes, bringing Chen Yun along was like bringing a lifeline, as they had absolute faith in his abilities. Whether it was his personal abilities or his medical skills, these were a surefire safety guarantee.
The eight of them formed a temporary group called the Pig Killing Team. Their name was simple and unpretentious, but their lethality was also impressive. Don't underestimate these guys, as each of them possessed unique skills.
Don't underestimate Chen Yu's weakness; his intelligence and fighting prowess are formidable. Shuanzi, a hunter since childhood, knows all about mountaineering. Then there's Xiao Er and Xiao Wu, the two best climbers, who usually keep watch. Then there's the brothers Chen Chen and Chen Cheng, the strongest. Like a hound, they have a keen sense of smell.
"Look, this is wild boar feces."
Shuanzi pointed at the feces on the ground and said to his group of friends, "When entering the forest, the first thing you need to do is to observe everything. Don't miss any clues, because they represent the truth. If you want to see what you want, observation is the most important thing."
"Then...are the wild boars around us?" Everyone looked around vigilantly and became serious.
"You can't say they're just around here, but at least they haven't run far. The route we chose is correct. Now it depends on who can be lucky enough to run into them faster."
"Then... let's hurry up!" The boy was eager to make a move, but he didn't show the word fear.
"Well, hurry up..."
No one fears encountering wild boars; for them, the more wild boars, the greater the reward. This time, the hunt is for wild boars, and anyone who doesn't step forward upon seeing the real thing deserves contempt. The team tolerates timidity, but not cowardice. You can be timid, but you can't be a coward.
"Well, it should be this direction."
The dog, with the most sensitive sense of smell, pointed to a small path to the right. The wild boar herd should be just ahead. The strong smell of wild boar could not be concealed in any way. It must be a large herd, otherwise there wouldn't be so much smell.
"Are you sure?"
"OK, everyone hold your weapons firmly."
"Okay... let's go."
They all held their weapons tightly, including hunting rifles, bows and arrows, and axes. There were many different weapons, but each one was very lethal and should not be underestimated.
