Chapter 327 Cao San, the Idiot (Edited)
Cao Wu rolled his eyes and said, "You're talking nonsense. You want to go and collect herbs by yourself, but you're not afraid of not being able to return."
"We are a little bit confident. You go to collect herbs by yourself. Do you want to wait for us to collect your body?"
After saying this, Cao Wu no longer cared about his still shaking legs and walked towards Guangao Mountain.
Cao Er didn't want to pay any attention to the idiot Cao San, so he pulled Cao Qimei and followed Cao Wu.
Cao San was left standing there in a daze.
He didn't quite understand why his brother, younger brother and younger sister were angry?
Yu Wanqing understood, however, that Cao Wu and Cao Er looked down on Cao San's compromise and self-sacrifice.
Because they don't need to.
After stumbling a lot, they finally reached Guangao Mountain, but the mountain was too big and they had no idea where to find the medicinal herbs that Yu Zhiqing had mentioned, so they could only look for them slowly.
Until night fell, they still hadn't found the medicinal herbs that Yu Zhiqing had mentioned. They could only find a relatively flat place, light a fire, and start eating dry food.
Cao Er said, "You guys take a rest first. I'll keep watch. When I get tired, I'll wake up Lao San. When Lao San gets tired, he'll wake up Lao Wu."
"Someone has to be awake."
The other two agreed, so what about asking the seventh sister to keep watch?
That was impossible. No matter how useless they were, they would never let a little girl like Seventh Sister keep watch at night.
Yu Wanqing watched their cautious appearance in the dark, and suddenly felt that there were still some good points in these boys from the Cao family.
Considering that the pharmaceutical factory is going to expand and security personnel will be needed, Cao Er is actually a very good candidate.
He works diligently and completes all tasks assigned to him very well. Even the herbs he digs and sells are cleaned thoroughly and the quality is guaranteed.
Yu Wanqing quietly climbed up a big tree, sat on a branch, and watched them while chewing bread.
After eating and drinking, she leaned against a tree branch and closed her eyes to rest.
There were no problems in the first half of the night, but in the second half, Cao Wu was on guard. He leaned against a tree and looked around. His hatchet was placed beside him, and his hand was on the handle, keeping on guard at all times.
Yu Wanqing could see that the boy was very nervous and scared, but he forced himself to remain calm.
Yu Wanqing looked at the place not far away with interest, hoping that he would remain so calm later.
Cao Wu pricked up his ears and heard some movement in the woods. He stood up with his hatchet in hand and said, "Second brother, third brother, seventh sister, get up."
Cao Er and Cao San were afraid of sleeping too deeply, and they stood up immediately when they heard the sound. The two brothers surrounded Cao Qimei with machetes.
Soon, they saw a wild boar emerging from the woods and running around.
The four siblings' faces all changed. Before coming to Xishan, they had thought about the possibility of encountering wild boars, but they didn't expect to encounter one on the first night.
It's really unlucky.
Cao Er said: "You guys protect the seventh sister."
After saying this, he rushed out first and confronted the wild boar that was about to rush towards them.
Yu Wanqing wanted to call him a fool for daring to confront a mad wild boar.
The wild boar that was rushing forward was suddenly tripped by a vine on the ground and fell forward.
Seeing this, Cao Er thought that God was helping him, so he rushed forward and chopped the wild boar on the head with a knife.
He was used to farm work and was quite strong. Sometimes he would help the butcher to kill pigs, and blood would be drawn with one cut of the knife.
The wild boar screamed and tried to stand up, and Cao San and Cao Wu's knives also fell on the wild boar.
The wild boar wanted to get up, but found that it had no strength at all. It could only scream, struggle, and then die in despair.
The four siblings looked at the dead wild boar and were so frightened that they broke out in cold sweats and leaned against a nearby tree with weak legs.
Cao Qimei whispered, "Brother, the wild boar is really dead. It's dead."
Cao Er looked around but didn't find anything unusual. Finally, he set his sights on the wild boar. Everything that had just happened kept flashing through his mind.
The wild boar suddenly fell down and was unable to get up, which gave them the opportunity to kill it.
This is all too bizarre.
Cao Er said: "It is impossible to kill wild boars with our ability, so we can't think we are invincible just because of this incident and run to the mountains to kill wild boars."
He glanced at his brothers and sisters and said, "If that's the case, you are just feeding the owner."
He didn't know who was helping him behind the scenes, and he was grateful to that person from the bottom of his heart. At the same time, he also reminded his younger brothers and sisters not to be careless. He felt very powerful that he could stand shoulder to shoulder with the owner.
Cao Wu also realized that something was wrong. He nodded and said, "Don't worry, second brother. We know how powerful wild boars are. We won't rush to die."
"We are just lucky today, but if we have greedy thoughts, maybe what awaits us is not good luck, but death."
Cao San asked, "What should we do with this wild boar?"
Cao Er looked around again, but still could not find any trace of the master. He even thought it was the work of the mountain god.
Although we cannot discuss these things now, these common people believe in the existence of gods from the bottom of their hearts, they just cannot say it out loud.
He took a deep breath and said slowly, "After we find the herbs tomorrow, Seventh Sister will take them back to Yu Zhiqing, and the three of us brothers will go to the black market to sell wild boars."
As long as the wild boars are sold, it will be a huge income.
After Cao Er arranged everything, it was already dawn. Cao San stayed behind to look after the wild boar while the other three went to look for medicinal herbs.
When Yu Wanqing saw this scene, she looked at Cao Ergao with disdain again.
A wild boar could be sold for a lot of money, but he was able to resist the temptation and warned his brothers and sisters not to be greedy.
I have to say that these children in Uncle Cao's family are very good, but it's a pity that they were neglected because of Aunt Cao's partiality for Jing'er.
Yu Wanqing had another question in her mind. Cao Er and Cao Wu both applied for jobs at the pharmaceutical factory. Why did they fail?
Judging from the smart and cautious appearance of these two people, it is unlikely that they will be eliminated.
Did they fail the exam on purpose?
After searching for most of the day, they still hadn't found the herbs, and the wild boar couldn't wait any longer, otherwise they would get rotten.
Finally, Cao Er decided to let Cao Wu and Cao San sell the wild boars, while he and his sister continued to look for medicinal herbs. After they sold the wild boars, they hurried into the mountains to help.
That afternoon, the Cao brothers hurried back. They had been wandering in the mountains for a few days. When they had finished eating the dry food they brought with them, they caught rabbits and pheasants to eat. Perhaps they were lucky as they were not hungry every day.
Over at the Cao family, the couple lying in bed had not had a full meal since they fell ill, and they defecated on the bed, but their three sons didn't care. They all complained that it was dirty and smelly, and you pushed me to clean it up, and I waited for you to clean it up. In the end, the couple were the ones who suffered.
In just a few days, they lost a lot of weight.
Aunt Cao's heart went cold, and she suddenly felt that all the kindness she had shown to the brothers for the past twenty years had been in vain.
She thought of Aunt Lu who was buried under the straw mat, and her heart became even more sad.
I began to miss my obedient and sensible third son and youngest daughter. They really worked hard in this family.
Why did she always think that the third child couldn't speak and was like a piece of wood?
Why do you feel that when your daughter grows up and gets married, she will belong to someone else's family, and you don't need to be so nice to her?
The more she thought about it, the more regretful Aunt Cao felt.
Although Uncle Cao was annoyed by the stench, he was happy in his heart.
The worse it is now, the more profound the memory will be in my spouse's mind, and he will know that he should be nicer to the child in the future.
