Huo Xiao pulled Ye Weiwei aside, ready to strike at the best opportunity to kill her with a single blow.
He didn't want to make it too bloody and scare the little girl next to him.
Before he could even make a move, Ye Weiwei charged towards the wild boar, moving so fast that he didn't even have time to stop her.
Then he saw Ye Weiwei clench her small, white fist and punch the wild boar in the head.
The wild boar collapsed to the ground with a thud!
Ye Weiwei shook her little fist, turned around and raised her eyebrows at Huo Xiao triumphantly.
See? I wasn't lying!
Huo Xiao was completely stunned!
He stepped forward, grabbed Ye Weiwei's small hand, and examined it carefully. Apart from being slightly red, there was no broken skin, and the bones were fine.
It turns out the little girl was right when she said she was very strong.
So, she really came into the mountains to hunt? No…
Seeing that Huo Xiao was distracted, Ye Weiwei waved her other small hand in front of his eyes, "Now, you should believe me, right?"
"Mm." Huo Xiao let go of her hand, feeling embarrassed, and sincerely praised, "You're amazing!"
Thinking of the soft touch of her small hands, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have found it hard to imagine that such a seemingly delicate and boneless hand could have the power to kill a wild boar with a single punch.
Ye Weiwei: "It was alright, I used some finesse in that punch just now."
Huo Xiao emphasized earnestly, "They are really amazing."
He could naturally see that Ye Weiwei had used a clever technique in her punch, but this required more skill in timing, angle, and judgment than simply using brute force.
Ye Weiwei found Huo Xiao's serious and meticulous demeanor quite endearing, and thinking back to the punch he had just delivered, she remarked, "You were pretty impressive just now too."
Huo Xiao felt a burning sensation on his face; his punch just now was purely out of anger.
Just as Huo Xiao was feeling awkward and unsure of what to do, shouts came from not far away: "Ye Zhiqing—Huo Xiao—where are you?"
Ye Weiwei looked at Huo Xiao with confusion, "Why did the village chief and the others come up the mountain too?"
Huo Xiao's eyes flickered. "Someone saw you come up the mountain alone and was worried that something had happened to you, so we came to look for you."
Ye Weiwei said with a bitter face, "It's my fault for not thinking things through, and I've caused everyone trouble again!"
She specifically chose a less crowded path when she went up the mountain, but she still ended up being seen by someone.
Seeing Ye Weiwei's self-reproachful expression, Huo Xiao quickly said, "With these two wild boars, they won't find it troublesome."
The village does not prohibit villagers from hunting in the mountains. For small animals like pheasants and rabbits, everyone can hunt according to their own abilities. However, if it is a large animal like a wild boar, it belongs to the village's collective property and cannot be taken away by private individuals.
At most, whoever gets the most meat will get a larger share when distributing it.
Just as Huo Xiao said, when the village chief and his men came looking for them, everyone spotted the two big wild boars at a glance and they were overjoyed!
Even the village chief forgot about lecturing Ye Weiwei, walked around the two wild boars, and looked at Huo Xiao with shining eyes, "Huo kid, you're something else! You hunted two big guys in one go!"
Not only the village chief, but even the people who came with him naturally assumed that Huo Xiao had killed both wild boars.
As for Ye Weiwei—
With Ye Zhiqing's thin arms and legs, it's a miracle he wasn't scared out of his wits by the wild boar!
Seeing that Huo Xiao was about to explain, Ye Weiwei shook her head at him, then said to Lu Mingfa, "Village Chief, let's hurry up and get the wild boar down the mountain to divide the pork. It will be difficult to go down the mountain if we wait any longer."
"Yes, yes, yes! Let's go down the mountain first! We can talk about it after we get down."
So the people the village chief brought happily carried the two wild boars down the mountain.
Ye Weiwei walked beside Huo Xiao, looking around as if she were on a picnic.
Seeing her like this, the village chief couldn't help but mutter a few words when he remembered that she had run up the mountain alone: "Ye Zhiqing, it's dangerous in these deep mountains. There are not only wild boars but also packs of wolves. You must not run up the deep mountains again in the future. Today, when I heard that you went into the mountains alone, Huo boy was very worried."
Ye Weiwei smiled knowingly, "I was thinking that I was going to my boyfriend's house for dinner tonight, and it wouldn't be good to go empty-handed, so I thought I'd come into the mountains to find something to eat. I'm sorry that everyone was worried about me."
Seeing that Ye Weiwei was remorseful and had a good attitude, Lu Mingfa was too embarrassed to say anything harsh. "Wild game in these mountains isn't so easy to hunt. You were lucky to have Huo boy with you today. Otherwise, it would have been very dangerous for a young girl like you to encounter a wild boar."
Ye Weiwei smiled shyly, "I didn't expect to encounter such a big guy. I was just thinking of catching a wild rabbit or a pheasant."
Her words caused everyone to burst into laughter.
Most of the people who went up the mountain were those who had previously gone to the information point to testify for Huo Xiao. They didn't have much prejudice against Ye Weiwei, but they felt that the girl's ideas were a bit naive.
A dark-skinned man said, "Wild rabbits and pheasants aren't so easy to catch. Even those who frequently go hunting in the mountains don't dare say they can catch one every time."
Ye Weiwei smiled but didn't say anything, her eyes looking towards the bushes beside her.
A rabbit suddenly darted out of the bushes and crashed into a large tree next to Ye Weiwei with a thud, knocking itself unconscious!
Ye Weiwei bent down, picked up the rabbit from the ground, weighed it in her hand, and said to the man with a smile, "Didn't we catch it?"
The man stared dumbfounded at the fat rabbit Ye Weiwei was carrying. "This works?!"
She actually caught a rabbit!
Why did the rabbit specifically choose to crash into the tree next to Ye Weiwei?
Are rabbits now able to read faces?
The village chief was also a little envious; the rabbit had just darted past his feet and crashed into the tree where Ye Weiwei was.
