Chapter 192 191: Unexpectedly
He Dakuan looked at Zhou Yiding with a guilty conscience, "That's right, I was almost picked on by a wild boar, and my girlfriend was waiting for me to get engaged! You can also blame me, I was thinking of selling some wild animals to buy a decent engagement gift for my girlfriend, I was too impatient!"
Zhou Yiding glanced at his crotch and said, "Fortunately my crotch wasn't touched, otherwise if your girlfriend asked me to compensate her man, where would I find one?"
After he said this, the depressing atmosphere in the room eased a little.
Yang Chunyan came in with a ceramic basin, scooped some pork trotter soup and rice into the dog bowl, put Dahuang's bowl in front of it, and touched its head, "Eat quickly, you will have strength after eating."
Dahuang stretched his neck, sniffed, and slowly began to eat.
Seeing that it was willing to eat, Yang Chunyan scooped some more pig's trotter soup into Dahei's bowl and placed it in front of it, "Dahei, I made this broth for you, drink more!"
Dahei looked at her, licked her twice, then lay down to rest for a while, then licked her twice again and rested for a while.
The few people were relieved when they saw that they were willing to eat.
Yang Chunyan waited until the two dogs stopped eating, took away the bowl, looked at the dogs' injuries, and said, "Give them something to sleep on."
"Oh!" Zhou Yiding took Zhou Huaian to get a quilt, and carried the dog to lie on it. "Be good, don't move, sleep for a night and you'll be fine tomorrow."
Seeing that Zhou Yiding and the other two were not in high spirits, Zhou Huaian recalled that they had a hard time dealing with a wounded wild boar last time. They must be terribly frightened this time. "We've been exhausted for the whole afternoon. Let's eat first!"
"Well!" Zhou Yiding looked at Xu Erchun and He Dakuan, "Let's eat."
Xu Erchun smiled and said, "Eat, eat, my stomach has been growling for a long time."
Yang Chunyan took out the pills and handed them to Zhou Huaian, "Pig fangs are poisonous, let them take the medicine."
"Oh!" Zhou Huaian took it, "I'll give it to them."
Two big pig's trotters and a few radishes filled half a pot of stew.
Zhou Yiding and the other two were very hungry. Looking at the milky white, oily stewed pig's feet and radish in the pot, they swallowed involuntarily.
Yang Chunyan and Zhou Huaian took out the pottery basins and bowls from the cupboard.
Xu Erchun looked at the three of them and said, "You guys are eating so well!"
Zhou Huaian said with a smile: "Yiding and I hunted a wild boar last night and stewed a big pot of pig's trotters and radishes. It was a great meal!"
Zhou Yiding: "These two pig's trotters were given to me by my second mother."
"How come you two are so lucky? We... Oh!" He Dakuan sighed, "If we weren't greedy and left when we got the piglet, we wouldn't have had to deal with all these things later."
Zhou Huaian patted him and said, "Forget it, it's over. If you keep talking about it, it will become a woman's nagging."
Yang Chunyan said, "You three are all injured, so why don't you dip in the water?"
The three of them answered in unison: "Yes, we want to eat pig's trotter and carrot soup. How can we eat it without dipping sauce?"
Zhou Huaian put the dipping saucer in place, "Yan'er, don't be afraid, I have a long cut on my leg, but I can still eat spicy food!"
Yang Chunyan gave him a sidelong glance and said, "How dare you say that? You would eat it secretly even if I didn't give it to you!"
Zhou Huaian smiled awkwardly, "I didn't eat chili peppers, so I'm fine. You should also give them less chili peppers, otherwise it will be troublesome if they get inflamed."
Yang Chunyan nodded, scooped some dipping water for the three of them, and everyone sat around and started eating.
After they had finished their meal and cleaned up, Zhou Huaian gave the pills to the two of them and fed two pills to the dog.
Yang Chunyan said to Zhou Yiding: "Wild boar tusks are poisonous. You and Erchun had better go down the mountain and get two anti-inflammatory injections."
Zhou Yiding nodded, "Okay, let's go down the mountain together tomorrow."
Zhou Huaian said to He Dakuan and Xu Erchun, "I have to get up at 2 o'clock tomorrow morning to go down the mountain to deliver the goods. When do you plan to go down the mountain?"
He Dakuan thought that Zhou Yiding and Gou Zi were both injured, and he would have nothing to do if he stayed alone on the mountain. "They need to go down the mountain for injections, so I'll go down the mountain with you."
Xu Erchun also nodded, "There are many people on the road, so we have company."
Zhou Huaian nodded, "Okay! Chunyan and I will pack our things and leave early tomorrow morning."
"I'll take you to bed."
Yang Chunyan and Zhou Huaian put the herbs in a backpack and placed it under the eaves. "Huaian, you have to get up early tomorrow morning. Remember to set the alarm clock before going to bed."
"Got it!" Zhou Huaian poked her, "Yan'er, are you afraid of sleeping alone?"
Yang Chunyan glanced at him and said, "What's there to be afraid of? Do you think everyone is like you, with less courage than a mosquito?"
Zhou Huaian glared, "Oh, my wife is awesome, she has even seen the guts of a mosquito."
"You are so precious!" Yang Chunyan patted him with a smile, "I'm going to fetch some water to wash my feet and go to sleep."
Zhou Huaian nodded with a smile, "Yeah! The dog is injured, remember to lock the door."
Zhou Yiding took Xu Erchun and He Dakuan to live in another forest ranger's house. He took out some bedding and spread it over them. He went to check on the dog. After Zhou Huaian and Yang Chunyan put the herbs into their backpacks, the three of them went back to their houses separately.
Zhou Huaian set the alarm clock to two in the morning. "It's ten o'clock. I can still sleep for more than four hours now. Ding Ding Cat, can you get up tomorrow morning?"
Zhou Yiding nodded, then thought of something, "Youngest brother, where is the Polygonatum odoratum you dug this afternoon?"
Zhou Huaian lay down on the bed, "My third brother is here to take it away. Brother Huang asked us to take the wild animals away..."
Zhou Yiding didn't expect such a good thing to happen, and said happily: "That's great, I won't have to find a buyer if I send it to Ning'an tomorrow morning."
"Those who go to the guesthouse to treat guests can afford good food." Zhou Huaian leaned forward and lowered his voice, "Have you told Erchun and the others about our acquisition of musk deer?"
Zhou Yiding shook his head, "No, I just said I got a black goat, I didn't even mention the wild boar." He sat down at the head of Zhou Huaian's bed, "After Cai Ermei's incident, I felt that some things were different from before, so I didn't tell them."
"It's better not to say it!" Zhou Huaian sighed, "Tomorrow morning I'll get up and put the musk deer in my backpack, and then go wake them up. Didn't you catch anything on the mountain?"
Zhou Yiding: "I shot a few pheasants and rabbits, and also caught a porcupine, but I lost them all when I ran away."
Zhou Huaian pointed at him and said, "I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you're too bold to provoke a dozen wild boars. You're the only child in your family. If something happens to you, will Uncle Daqing still be alive?"
"I regret it so much!" Zhou Yiding said with lingering fear: "We shot down a wild boar weighing more than 100 kilograms, and the other wild boars were scared away. I asked them to drag the wild boars back quickly."
"Who knew that Dakuan caught up with the piglet and shot it again, but failed to kill it. The piglet screamed in pain. He wanted to shoot again, but found that there was no bullet in the gun chamber."
"The sow that had escaped heard the piglets' howling, turned around and ran back towards Dakuan who was loading the bullets. I rushed forward and fired several shots at the sow, but failed to kill it."
"The sow rushed forward regardless of life or death. After firing several shots, I ran out of bullets in my gun. Fortunately, Dahei and Dahuang held it back, otherwise I would have died there today."
Zhou Huaian frowned, "Da Kuan, load up the bullets, you two just need to shoot it a few more times. Didn't they say there was another boar running out?"
