Whoosh!
A rabbit darted out from the side, and Fang Yuan instantly snapped back to reality.
"Is it a rabbit?" she asked Zhou He.
This rabbit arrived just in time.
Zhou He nodded with a hint of surprise: "Yes, let's look for it quickly."
Finally, there was some movement, and Zhou He began to search seriously and attentively.
Fang Yuan kept stroking the surrounding trees and then observed his surroundings before quickly walking to one of the rabbit holes.
"There seems to be a hole here."
Zhou He quickly walked over, and sure enough, it was a rabbit hole.
He carefully examined the marks around the hole and nodded:
"This hole is probably one they frequently use. Let's find another hole to block it up."
With Fang Yuan by my side, I was indeed very lucky.
"Um!"
With Fang Yuan there, the two quickly found other rabbit holes.
After blocking up the other holes, they successfully caught the rabbit family of three.
Having caught the rabbit, Fang Yuan then said to Zhou He:
"There was a gastrodia plant outside a rabbit hole just now, I'm going to dig it out."
That was an old Gastrodia elata plant, considered a very good medicinal herb.
"Then you keep digging, I'll go take a look from the side."
With the harvest of three rabbits, Zhou He was no longer in a hurry and began to slowly explore the surrounding area.
After Fang Yuan unearthed the gastrodia elata, he looked at Zhou He, who had walked to the side, and after thinking for a moment, called out:
"I think I see some good medicinal herbs over there. I'll go take a look."
As he spoke, he headed toward the location where the ginseng had been found.
"Okay, then be careful and call me if anything happens."
Zhou He knew that Fang Yuan liked to dig for wild vegetables and medicinal herbs when he went up the mountain, but he didn't recognize most of them and didn't have any objections.
Carrying three rabbits on his back, he continued to explore on the other side.
"Only four leaves, but it's not bad." Fang Yuan looked at the ginseng under the tree with delight and began to dig.
Just as she was engrossed in digging for ginseng, she heard the grunting of a wild boar behind her.
After Fang Yuan's physique was optimized, her hearing became very sensitive. The sound wasn't loud, but she heard it.
Turning around, I saw that Zhou He was confronting a wild boar weighing about 200 pounds, with two smaller wild boars weighing 20 or 30 pounds behind him.
Is this a wild boar mother leading her piglets out to forage for food?
But this wild boar doesn't seem very big. Aren't wild boars supposed to weigh three or four hundred pounds?
"Holy crap!"
Seeing that Zhou He was in danger, Fang Yuan could no longer continue slowly digging for ginseng.
She simply grabbed a ginseng root and put it into her spatial dimension, tearing off many of the ginseng roots from the ground.
"Zhou He, I'm here to help you!"
As Fang Yuan spoke, he held a machete more than a meter long in his right hand and a shovel for digging herbs in his left hand, and rushed towards Zhou He.
"Don't come any closer. I'll lure this wild boar inwards. You go down the mountain first," Zhou He warned cautiously.
"This wild boar isn't very big, let's take care of it together. Have you forgotten how strong I am?"
Fang Yuan held the wood-chopping knife in his hand, showing no fear whatsoever.
I just mentioned that I was going to show Zhou Jiahui how to fight wild boars, and now that we've encountered one, I have to give it a try.
"Hmph"
The wild boar seemed to sense the murderous aura emanating from Fang Yuan. It abandoned Zhou He, who was not far away, and prepared to run away.
At the same time, he didn't forget to call on his piglets.
"It's already run away? Hurry up and chase after it! I can cook wild boar meat deliciously too!" Fang Yuan shouted anxiously.
It's such a waste to throw away such a big pile of meat!
"Alright, let's try catching a small one!"
Upon hearing Fang Yuan's words, Zhou He put down the basket on his back, raised the kitchen knife in his hand, and chased after the wild boar.
Fang Yuan switched the shovel to his right hand and threw it directly at the wild boar.
"Aww~ Aww~"
The wild boar was hit squarely by Fang Yuan's iron shovel, leaving a deep gash on its rump.
The pain in its body enraged it, and it stopped running, turning around and charging towards Fang Yuan.
"Hmph, take this from me!"
Fang Yuan seized the opportunity to dodge the wild boar's charge and then used all his strength to deliver a powerful slash.
"Awooo~ Awooo~ Awooo~"
The machete had deeply pierced the wild boar's neck.
With all the effort Fang Yuan had just exerted, the pig was completely knocked down.
Lying on the ground, blood kept gushing from the wound on his neck, and his body was convulsing; he was clearly not going to make it.
"Ew~ Tsk tsk tsk!"
This was the first time Fang Yuan had ever seen such a bloody scene. She took down her machete and took a half-step back.
Ignoring the wild boar, he turned to Zhou He and charged at him again with his machete.
A family should always be together, all in one place.
Fifteen minutes later, the two men looked at the two wild boars, one large and one small, leaning against a tree, panting heavily.
The other little wild boar got away, but it's probably for the best.
"We can't finish this pig in a short time, what should we do?" Fang Yuan asked after catching his breath.
She could have easily stored the wild boar in her spatial storage by herself, but Zhou He was also there.
"It's so hot, this meat won't keep well. How about we eat the smaller pieces and give the larger ones to the team?" Zhou He thought for a moment and said.
Although these things belong to the collective, you can still earn work points by hunting wild boars.
They probably won't have many work points, so they can use this to exchange for work points.
A small wild boar can eat for quite a while.
“Our brigade has too many people. This little bit of pork isn’t even enough to fill a tooth gap. We might as well sell it in town,” Fang Yuan said after thinking for a moment.
It takes half an hour by horse-drawn carriage to get from here to town, and a bit longer to walk, but it won't take more than an hour.
It's not even noon yet. Why don't we just go to town and find a car to come and take it away?
“No, this is too blatant. What if we get spotted by others when we go to town?” Zhou He shook his head.
Going out during the day will almost certainly get you noticed, and going out at night will not only make the meat less appealing, but it will also spoil by the time it's left out.
"Then we can make them into jerky, sausages, meat sauce, or something like that. We can eat them ourselves and send some home. But that would require a lot of salt and seasonings," Fang Yuan said after thinking for a moment.
If it were really made into jerky or meat sauce, she could send some back to her older brother and younger brother.
Well, I should send some to my own unworthy father too.
Before even starting, Fang Yuan had already figured out how to allocate the tasks.
"That's a good idea. Let's make them into jerky or meat sauce."
Zhou He looked at the more than 200 pounds of meat in front of him. After removing the internal organs and pig's head, it was less than 200 pounds.
Making it into jerky would be a bit more troublesome, but he was very tempted to send some home.
Moreover, their location was remote enough that they could easily do it.
"Then it's settled. Let's move back first, and then we'll go buy some salt later. Jia Hui can finally eat as much meat as she's been craving, and she can eat until she's sick of it." Fang Yuan stood up with a smile.
"I'll go get the rope!"
Zhou He also stood up and looked around for vines to weave into a rope so he could drag the meat down the mountain.
