Chapter 62
However, both Chu Ci and Fan Jingrui were extremely exhausted, and they were able to stand up only because of their determination not to die.
I knew I had to leave quickly, but my body was shaking for a long time and I only moved a few meters.
At this moment, a frightened cry came from not far away. "Brother, look, is that a wild boar over there——"
There's someone! Chu Ci was about to shout for help when the man immediately said, "Hurry back to the village and tell everyone that the wild boar has come down the mountain."
Then there was no sound.
Chu Ci turned to look at Fan Jingrui, "If I shout for help now, will they run away, or will they run away?"
Just when Chu Ci and Fan Jingrui were giving up hope, a voice familiar to Chu Ci rang out again: "Wait, don't run away just yet. It looks to me like the wild boar has been killed."
"Dashan (Uncle Dashan), are you seeing things?" Several voices sounded at the same time.
Dashan replied almost without hesitation, "I'm not mistaken. There seem to be two people next to the wild boar."
When they heard there were other people around, someone immediately said, "Let's go over and take a look. In case there's any accident, we can help."
Chu Ci and Fan Jingrui finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and then both fell to the ground.
"Master Fan, Madam Fan, why are you here? How did you end up in the mountains? Did you kill this wild boar?" Several people came over and checked the wild boar first. After confirming that it was really dead, they came to Chu Ci and Fan Jingrui.
How could Chu Ci say that she was asking for trouble and even dragging her husband into it? She could only perfunctorily say, "It was us. We just didn't expect there would be wild boars at the foot of the mountain."
"What about you guys? Are you planning on going hunting?"
Dashan felt that he and Chuci were the most familiar with this place, so he quickly explained with a smile on his face, "It's all thanks to you that everyone can have a full stomach and have extra energy, so I thought of finding some meat for the children at home."
So the villagers didn't hunt before because they didn't have the strength. Shouldn't that mean they didn't know how to hunt?
Chu Ci was puzzled by this.
Chu Ci turned to look at Fan Jingrui. Fan Jingrui shook his head. He knew very little about the affairs of Yazhou before.
Chu Ci: No wonder when Mr. Fan learned he was being exiled to Yazhou, he cried out, "Heaven will destroy the Fan family." Being completely clueless, it's easy to be wiped out.
"That's perfect! This wild boar is a treat for everyone who sees it. However, please inform the Fan family that we are unable to descend the mountain on our own in our current situation."
When they heard the phrase "whoever sees it gets a share," someone immediately responded, "That's easy. I'll go right away."
Then, the man seemed to be afraid that someone would compete with him for this good thing, so he jumped out like a fly, his whole body exuding the aura of having made a fortune.
Unlike the joy of the person who brought the news, the people of the Fan family could not hear anything else after they heard that Chu Ci and Fan Jingrui were attacked by wild boars.
Fan Jingrui's mother asked with red eyes: "Where are they?"
The messenger replied in a daze, "At the foot of the mountain not far from the village."
Then, in the blink of an eye, all the members of the Fan family disappeared. Meat, his meat. After thinking for a moment, the person who reported the news had no choice but to follow.
"Rui Ge'er, damn Rui Ge——"
"It's mother's voice." But why did the voice sound so sad? Chu Ci and Fan Jingrui looked at each other and were about to speak when Mr. Fan, Mrs. Fan, stepfather-in-law, and so on, all the members of the Fan family, from the oldest to the youngest, arrived.
"Oh no..." Chu Ci's eyes were filled with fear, and he turned his head slowly: "Husband, can you handle it?"
Fan Jingrui certainly didn't miss the plea in Chu Ci's eyes. His always independent wife rarely needed him, so how could he back down? Of course, he would go for it if conditions allowed, and even if they didn't, he would create them. Then, she returned the look, leaving everything to him.
Clearing his throat, Fan Jingrui said loudly, "Dad, Mom, you're here! I've killed the wild boar, but I'm a little tired, so I have to trouble everyone who came up the mountain to help."
Fan Jingrui's words were concise. The wild boar was hunted by Chu Ci, and his son (grandson, eldest brother) was just exhausted.
Although they knew there was a lot of water in it, the son (grandson) was not injured. In an instant, everyone in the Fan family regained their former calmness and dignity.
Even the face-changing in Sichuan Opera is probably not as fast as this.
Chu Ci was amazed in her heart, but she looked very obedient, "Dad and Mom, I'm fine, and my husband is fine too. We are just a little tired."
On the contrary, both Chu Ci and Fan Jingrui were pale and covered in blood, and they didn't look like they were fine. Chu Ci's mother-in-law was naturally worried: "This blood..."
But just as she was about to say this, she was interrupted by Old Lady Fan. "Gu, go home first. We can discuss other matters when we get home."
Although Chu Ci's mother-in-law was unhappy, she had calmed down and naturally noticed Dashan and others who were on guard around them. "I was inconsiderate."
He stood up and bowed to the people on guard, "Thank you all for your help."
"How dare we, how dare we," the men in the village waved their hands. Only Dashan, with a simple smile, said, "After all, we took the young lady's pork. If we don't do anything at this time, are we still human?"
How could anyone respond to this? So, everyone tacitly pretended not to hear. Those who were carrying the wild boar were carrying the wild boar, those who were supporting the wounded were supporting the wounded, they were all busy!
Dashan seemed to be accustomed to this kind of situation. He rubbed the back of his head innocently and then consciously joined the team carrying the wild boar.
But after a while, the mountain seemed to be unable to hold it back anymore.
He asked enthusiastically, "Mrs. Fan, is there anyone in your family who can butcher pigs? If not, I can recommend one to you. The butcher in the next village often invites me to hunt with him. His skills are top-notch."
As he said this, he gave a thumbs up.
If it were usual, people would probably just think that Dashan was honest, enthusiastic, and helpful, but when everyone was silent, Dashan's voice seemed a bit noisy.
Especially the Fifth Prince, who had been silent all the way, felt that this person did it on purpose. He immediately made a gesture to the air, and then a stone somehow ran into the mouth of the mountain.
Dashan was bragging enthusiastically when suddenly, with a loud "crack", his two front teeth fell out gloriously. Dashan subconsciously covered his mouth with his hand, which ended up being covered with blood.
"Who is it? Which bastard dares to play tricks on me like this?"
The villagers understood the mountain's temperament and quickly waved their hands.
Some people who didn't want to get into trouble even said, "Dashan, we're carrying such a heavy wild boar, we don't have time to mess around."
