Being too smart isn't a good thing either; it takes a lot of brainpower. The more you learn, the more you have to work hard. Luckily, the one with a good brain is Ye Moxun, not her Tantan, otherwise how many brain cells would she have lost?
When we kill the pig, we have to save the pig brain for Ah Xun. Unfortunately, that kid doesn't appreciate it. Every time we save the pig brain for him, stew it, and bring it to him for him to eat, he refuses to eat it. He looks disgusted and his face says, "I would rather die than eat pig brain."
In the end, we could only give it to Zhong Qingyi to eat, because she and Song Tantan didn't like it too much. Zhong Qingyi, on the other hand, wasn't picky and would eat whatever we gave him. He never complained and was very easy to feed.
"Tantan and A-Xun are definitely eating candy," A-Zhu whispered in Shui-Sheng's ear.
Shuisheng nodded; he thought so too. Song Tantan was the only person in the entire village who could afford to give candy. She not only gave candy to the younger children but also occasionally to the older children, like Shuisheng and Azhu.
"Tantan used to say she would teach me how to make candy, but then she stopped. She's so stingy," Ah Zhu said with some resentment.
Because she was busy with other things later, Song Tantan simply denied that she had ever said she would teach everyone how to make candy, and only took some grain to share with everyone.
"Beets are too hard to find, and my aunt and I are too busy with housework to teach you how to make sugar. We'll talk about it later." She said later, but there was no later; she refused to admit it.
"Let's get going after we've eaten, don't dawdle." Zhong Qingyi and Song Zhuiyan led the way, walking at the very front.
Song Tantan and Ye Moxun quickly climbed down from the tree and caught up with them. Song Zhuiyan poked Song Tantan's forehead and said, "Can't you even be quiet when you're out? The two of you were hiding in the tree eating good food, and everyone was watching. Don't you feel guilty?"
"It's not convenient to take the things out of the supermarket, so only Ah Xun and I can eat them. We eat like this every day and we're quite happy with it." There's nothing to feel guilty about, and she didn't say anything about anyone else; it's all from her own supermarket.
After walking for another half hour, they arrived at their chosen hunting spot. Before they could even make arrangements, something darted past them. The village chief's grandson's eyes lit up, and he took off running after it.
Zhong Qingyi stopped him, "Lin Yu, stop right there! Don't wander off. This place isn't like the outer perimeter; it's dangerous everywhere. Follow the instructions. The same goes for everyone else. No one is allowed to act on their own. Four people per group, listen up..."
Lin Yu was ordered not to run around, but Song Tantan and Ye Moxun were not so obedient. The two mischievous ones quietly slipped away and chased after the dark figure when no one was paying attention.
When Zhong Qingyi and Song Zhuiyan tried to find them, the two were nowhere to be seen, which infuriated them.
"I knew she'd cause trouble. She ran away even though I had her with me. I'll break her legs when we get back." Song Zhuiyan gritted her teeth, her anger practically boiling over.
But everyone knows that Miss Song is all bark and no bite; she's all bark and no bite now, but her anger will soon dissipate, and she's unlikely to actually hit him.
There was no time to be angry at this moment. After cursing a few times, she stopped talking and went with everyone to hunt down a black pig that had just been discovered.
They initially thought it was a wild boar. The nine of them each took a weapon, with Zhong Qingyi holding a bow, ready to shoot an arrow at it, and then the rest of them would rush in to surround it.
But before Zhong Qingyi could make a move, two more wild boars emerged from the bushes, followed by several more, making a total of seven wild boars. Five of them were adult wild boars, one weighing around 300 jin (150 kg), and the other two were half-grown pigs, weighing around 100 jin (50 kg). It seemed they had run into a herd of wild boars.
No one dared to act rashly. Although wild boars were not as terrifying and ferocious as wolves or tigers, they were still very troublesome. If they really attacked people, they were very powerful. Their tusks could pierce a person's belly, which was very deadly. They could not be careless.
"How about we just use Mafeisan?" Song Zhuiyan whispered in Zhong Qingyi's ear, her warm breath brushing against his ear and neck.
Zhong Qingyi stiffened, a suspicious blush appearing on his face. However, his expression was serious, and his eyes were sharply fixed ahead, so Song Zhuiyan didn't notice anything amiss.
"First, shoot arrows and see how good the children's archery is..." Zhong Qingyi gave a series of instructions. If everyone's archery skills were good enough to hit a few wild boars in vital areas, then everyone could use swords or axes to flank them. If all else failed and the wild boars turned the tables on them, then everyone should climb trees and escape.
Of course, the latter scenario is the worst-case scenario. They all know martial arts, and if they can't even handle a litter of wild boars today, they really won't be able to face anyone in the future.
However, he was always cautious in his actions and had taken into account all possible accidents, so he rambled on and on. Song Zhuiyan was getting impatient with him. Even the most rambling wild boar would have been driven away by his rambling, so she just got on with it.
Lin Fuhai's grandsons Lin Yu and Mu Sheng, and Chun Sheng are the best archers. Zhong Qingyi's archery skills are even more outstanding. The others can also shoot arrows, but their skills are average, and they use bows and arrows that they made themselves, which are not very good. Unlike Lin Yu, the other two, and Zhong Qingyi, who all have good bows and arrows left behind by the flower thief.
So the four of them took the lead, firing a volley first, followed by a few less skilled archers to follow up. Once the arrangements were made, they began their operation.
"Whoosh." As Zhong Qingyi fired the first arrow, Lin Yu, Mu Sheng, and Chun Sheng immediately shot three arrows as well. Zhong Qingyi and Lin Yu both hit the pig's head. In particular, Zhong Qingyi shot a wild boar directly in the eye. The wild boar screamed and fell to the ground, but it did not die immediately. It struggled painfully for a few moments before getting up and running around wildly.
Lin Yu shot the wild boar in the neck, a vital spot. Mu Sheng and Chun Sheng each shot one of the boars in the belly. Perhaps the boars' hides were too thick, because they didn't kill them on the first shot. The others followed up with a few more arrows, and now five wild boars are wounded.
Two adult wild boars, unharmed, were startled and howled wildly, one of which charged straight at the spot where they were hiding. This sudden turn of events caught everyone off guard.
"Watch out, get out of the way!" The wild boar charged toward where Lin Yu was hiding. The young man was probably stunned and stood there without knowing how to dodge. Song Zhuiyan was the first to react and rushed over to push him away, but she herself got into trouble because she used too much force and fell to the ground, unable to dodge for a moment.
Just when she thought she was about to be bitten by the wild boar's tusks, suddenly her vision blurred and someone rushed up quickly, grabbing her and rolling to the side at the last second, barely dodging the boar's attack.
Her heart was pounding. She had considered that she might put the wild boar into her spatial dimension to save her life at the last moment, but that would expose her spatial dimension. However, when lives were at stake, she couldn't think about that anymore. At that moment, she didn't have time to think about anything and instinctively went to save people.
Fortunately, Zhong Qingyi was by her side, not only saving her but also keeping her secret.
"Hmm." Zhong Qingyi groaned, sounding as if she was in great pain, as if she had suffered a serious injury.
"Brother Zhong, how are you? Where are you hurt?" After the initial shock, the young men around finally came to their senses and began a life-or-death struggle with the wild boar. Song Zhuiyan, however, couldn't care less about anything else and was only worried about Zhong Qingyi's injuries.
