The two walked quickly and soon returned to the foot of the mountain. The group of aunts were still there. Seeing the two girls coming down the mountain, they smiled and said, "Qingyun, Qiu girl, how many mushrooms did you pick? Are you going back now?"
"It's half a basket." Su Qingyun said with a smile, "We can't pick them all at once, we have to leave some for others. You can go and see later, there are still a lot."
As soon as she said this, the group of aunts immediately smiled like flowers. "That's great! You are such a sensible girl. Thank you in advance."
"You're welcome, auntie. We'll leave first." Su Qingyun said with a smile.
It's just some mushrooms, nothing. Anyway, they have already got the most important prey. Su Qingyun is not worried about the prey being discovered at all. Not to mention these aunts, even the young and middle-aged men in the village would not go up to that place on the mountain.
Su Qingyun and Xia Qiu walked to the fork in the road, separated, and went back to inform their families.
"Grandma, I'm back!" Su Qingyun shouted impatiently as soon as he stepped into the yard.
Wu Guixiang came out of the house. "Are you back? Are you cold? You said you insisted on going up the mountain to pick mushrooms in such cold weather. Come in and warm yourself by the fire."
"Let me see how many you picked up?" Wu Guixiang glanced at her basket, which was half full of Alstonia arborescens. She nodded with satisfaction, "Not bad, quite a harvest. I'll make you some chicken and mushroom stew later."
Zhang Xinlan in the inner room gritted her teeth when she heard this. She picked some mushrooms and came back to eat chicken stewed with mushrooms. She was so beautiful!
Su Qingyun peeked at the people warming themselves by the fire in the room and pulled her grandmother aside.
"What's the matter?" Wu Guixiang looked confused.
Su Qingyun whispered, "Grandma, Qiuqiu and I have other gains."
"What did you gain?" Wu Guixiang was confused.
Su Qingyun leaned close to her grandmother's ear and said, "Qiuqiu and I found prey in the mountains. There's a big black pig and a goat."
"What!" Wu Guixiang suddenly raised her voice, her eyes widening. "Bao, are you serious? Are you kidding me?"
"How is that possible?" Su Qingyun said, "Nah, it's true. The big black pig and the goat are still lying on the mountain. Qiuqiu and I can't get them back."
Wu Guixiang still couldn't believe it. "How could such a large creature exist on this mountain?" She had heard of giant beasts and blind bears before, but after those difficult years, all food had been stripped away. Although no one had gone up the mountain in recent years, there shouldn't be such a large creature, right? And Qingyun and the others had seen it right away.
Wait, run into?
Wu Guixiang glared at her seriously, "Baby, tell me, even if there were a big black pig and a goat, how did you and Qiuqiu kill those two big guys?"
"The big black pig was fighting with the goat. The goat lost and the big black pig was seriously injured. Qiuqiu and I happened to be picking mushrooms nearby and ran into them. It was pure luck." Su Qingyun narrated one by one.
Wu Guixiang squinted her eyes and looked at her. "Both of them are dead. What a coincidence?"
Su Qingyun touched his nose and lowered his voice. "The big black pig was injured but not dead. It was leaning against a tree when I slashed its neck from behind."
"What did you say?!" Wu Guixiang looked at her well-behaved baby in disbelief. Damn it, where on earth did she get the courage to deal with that kind of beast!
What if the big black pig fought back despite not being seriously injured? What if the blow didn't kill the black pig and it went berserk?
Wu Guixiang was terrified at the thought of these possibilities. She couldn't help but slap Su Qingyun a few times, "You kid, you kid, how can you be so brave?"
"Okay, okay, grandma, isn't it okay? You know me. I won't do anything without confidence. The black pig was really unable to move at that time, so I dared to kill it." Su Qingyun begged for mercy hurriedly, "Think about it, we have a lot of meat now, enough for the whole family to eat for a long time."
Wu Guixiang glared at her unhappily. "Meat, meat, meat, is the family missing this piece of meat? What if something happens to you?"
"No, what did you use?" Wu Guixiang suddenly thought of this question.
Su Qingyun silently took out the sickle from the basket.
Wu Guixiang looked at the bloody sickle and felt her anger, which had just subsided, rise again. This girl had even used the sickle to slash the black pig's neck? Really, really, Wu Guixiang couldn't find any words to say to her. She could only swallow her anger and glare at her again. Why did this child always do big things silently? She was so worrying.
She took a deep breath, "Where is the prey now?"
"It's right on the mountain. We covered it with thick grass to hide it. We're afraid it would attract other animals and that others would find it." She said it as a matter of course.
Wu Guixiang didn't think it was a big deal. It was originally discovered by her Yunyun, so it naturally belonged to her family. She was not so generous as to let everyone in the village share a share.
"Where's that girl Xia Qiu?"
"She also went back and told her family."
Wu Guixiang nodded. The Xia family had good character. Even if the two families divided the meat, they would not show off.
She thought about it carefully and decided that she definitely couldn't go up the mountain during the day. There were so many people around and if she was discovered accidentally, she would not be able to explain herself even if she tried eight times.
"Yunyun, how about this? Go tell the Xia family that after dinner, we can go up the mountain after dark. We can divide the meat right there and take it home. It won't waste time."
According to Yunyun, the pig weighed two or three hundred pounds, and there was also a sheep. Regardless of whether it was easy to get it back, the pungent smell of blood could not be hidden from the nearby families, so the best option was to divide it quickly on the mountain.
