Shen Chuning did not go home directly. Instead, she took the flashlight Zhou Yubai left for her and went straight up the mountain.
If Wang Yumeng really asked her second brother for money, then her second brother had only one way to make money, and that was to go hunting in the mountains and sell the harvest on the black market.
The mountain was getting darker and darker, and the shadows of the trees looked like ghosts. When the mountain wind blew, the whimpering sound was more like the howling of ghosts and wolves.
Even though Shen Chu Ning had prepared himself mentally along the way, he had also decided to hide in the space if something happened later.
Even now, he was still frightened, his legs were trembling, his eyes were red, and two bags of tears were about to fall out.
She wiped away the tears that were about to well up, gritted her teeth, mustered her courage, and continued walking up the mountain.
“Quack—”
But just as she took a step forward, a crow flew over her head, cawing.
"ah--"
Shen Chu Ning screamed in fright, her balance was unstable, and she suddenly slipped and fell.
Her delicate little hands hurriedly grabbed the surrounding vegetation, trying to steady her body.
Who knew that this grab would end up grabbing a thorn.
Countless spikes pierced into her palms, and all her mental preparation collapsed. "Wow - wuwuwu..."
I couldn't hold back any longer and burst into tears.
Her crying scared away more birds in the trees and small animals in the bushes.
She just felt that there were terrible noises everywhere.
I couldn't stop crying.
She also regretted why she was so impulsive to go up the mountain alone. She should go back and tell her father and elder brother about what happened. She should tell her father and elder brother together, wuwuwu...
Shen Zhengliang had just climbed halfway up the mountain.
He didn't know what was going on with him tonight. After Yu Meng snuggled in his arms and cried to him about her difficulties, he came up the mountain full of happiness and expectation.
But as soon as he entered the mountain, he felt as if his heart was beating like a drum and he was extremely panicked.
The old hunter who taught him hunting skills once whispered to him that no matter what they were doing, people like them who lived off the mountains had to show some respect for the mountains.
If you ever feel something is wrong when you are going up the mountain, you must go down the mountain immediately and don't force it.
When he wanted to go back, his mind was full of Yu Meng crying, and he didn't want to disappoint Yu Meng.
But as I continued to climb the mountain, my mind was filled with the old hunter's earnest instructions.
Under the pull of the two emotions, his speed of climbing the mountain slowed down.
At this moment, he suddenly heard a faint cry mixed in the mountain breeze.
His heart sank, and after listening carefully to the voice, he found that the voice was actually a little familiar.
He suddenly remembered the last time he accompanied Yu Meng to the mountains to pick wild vegetables and his little sister followed him.
He frowned, thinking that his little sister might be following him today!
He listened carefully for a while, and the more he listened, the more he felt that the voice was that of his younger sister.
He hesitated for a moment and then turned around and went down the mountain.
My little sister is so timid. If she really went up the mountain to find him, she would be scared to death on the mountain.
Shen Chu Ning sat on the ground and cried for a while.
She mustered up her courage again. Since she was already here, she couldn't just sit here and cry all night.
She wiped away her tears and continued walking up the mountain sobbing.
After walking a few steps, I heard a sound like some large animal coming from the bushes somewhere.
Shen Chu Ning was so frightened that his face turned pale and cold sweat came down, "Is there... anyone?"
“Hmph…Hmph…”
The sound coming from the bushes frightened Shen Chu Ning so much that he went numb.
This... this is the sound of a pig grunting...
She...she encountered a wild boar?
Previously, wild boars destroyed the crops in the fields. After the brigade organized a militia to fight the wild boars, didn’t the wild boars on the mountain already go deep into the mountains and no longer appear in the shallow mountains?
How...how come she ran into a wild boar as soon as she entered the mountains?
Woo woo woo… She can’t be so unlucky!
Shen Chu Ning now stood there and didn't even dare to cry.
I just prayed in my heart that the wild boar would go away quickly.
At this moment, a deep and clear voice suddenly came from the mountain not far from her, "Who's there? Little sister, is that you?"
Shen Chuning: …
At this time, her second brother actually came back to find her.
But……
"Hum... hum..." Two clearer wild boar grunts were heard.
Shen Chuning felt as if the wild boar was humming right next to her ear.
She didn't dare to move, her voice trembling, "Second...Second Brother, it's...it's me..."
Shen Zhengliang obviously heard the wild boar's sound, and when he heard Shen Chuning's response, his heart rose to his throat.
"Ningning, don't move, don't move!" Shen Zhengliang hurriedly warned.
"Yeah!" Shen Chuning nodded quickly.
In the past, when wild boars from the mountains often attacked crops in the village, there were incidents of wild boars injuring people.
Later, the commune sent people to educate them on common knowledge about encountering wild boars.
If you encounter a wild boar alone, it is best not to move. Because wild boars generally will not actively attack people unless they are in estrus or lactation period.
But if people take any action, they will feel threatened and attack.
Moreover, wild boars run very fast, and it is almost impossible for humans to outrun them if they try to escape.
If her second brother hadn't come at this time, she would definitely hide in the space and wait until the wild boar left.
But her second brother was watching her now, she couldn’t just disappear on the spot in front of him!
The grunting of the wild boar was getting closer and closer, and she could even smell the stench emanating from the wild boar.
The next second, a wild boar weighing about two hundred pounds emerged from the bushes, its pair of long fangs flashing coldly in the moonlight.
Shen Chuning dared to conclude that if the wild boar just rushed towards her, its fangs would pierce her directly.
The wild boar was already sniffing at her feet.
Shen Chu Ning closed his eyes in fear.
She thought to herself that if the wild boar really attacked her, she would have to hide in the space even if she had to pretend to be a living person in front of her second brother.
She doesn't want to die, woooooo...
"call out--"
Just then, an arrow flew down from the mountain and hit the wild boar.
The wild boar's leisurely grunt was immediately filled with anger.
Before Shen Chuning could react, the next moment, the wild boar growled angrily twice and rushed towards the position of Shen Zhengliang on the mountain.
Shen Chu Ning subconsciously wanted to call second brother.
But before he could shout out, he was shocked by the situation in front of him. His throat seemed to be stuck and he couldn't make any sound.
