Yuan Shitou looked at Yun Xiaoxiao and continued to ask, "Xiaoxiao, why did you lie to me?"
Yun Xiaoxiao was going all out, but she was still relatively clear-headed.
At this time and in this place, it was not a good time for them to stay any longer.
So she rolled her eyes and said, "Are you sure you want to discuss this with me here, or at this time?"
Yuan Shitou also realized that he had forgotten that they had just worked together to kill a wild boar.
It probably won't be long before other wild animals come running after smelling the blood.
His eyes flickered, and he asked, "So what do you think we should do now?"
Yun Xiaoxiao really wanted to roll her eyes at him until he died.
"Don't you want to leave here as soon as possible?"
"Still want to stay and be used as bait?"
Yuan Shitou burst out laughing at what she said.
His gaze swept over the wild boar, and he frowned again.
"How are we supposed to get back now? Are we just going to abandon the mushrooms?"
Yun Xiaoxiao glared at him fiercely: "You're so stupid."
Why wouldn't you want the mushrooms you went through all that trouble to pick?
Yuan Shitou looked completely innocent: "But I have to carry wild boars, how can I carry mushrooms?"
Yun Xiaoxiao's eyes darted around quickly: "I seem to remember that you can lift 600 jin (300 catties) of things, right?"
Yuan Yuanshi nodded.
Yun Xiaoxiao added, "This wild boar weighs at most 300 jin (150 catties)."
You put it in the basket, then put the mushrooms on top of the wild boar, and that's it.
Yuan Shitou thought about it and realized that this was a good idea.
But can the rope of this basket bear a weight of 300 jin?
Yun Xiaoxiao also thought of this problem.
So she piled up the empty baskets and put the largest one at the bottom.
Four sticks were tied to the top, and another basket of mushrooms was placed on top to secure it, then it was carried on the back.
This weight was nothing to her, but it felt a little strange.
Also, it's too heavy and tall, so it wobbles a bit.
Never mind, let's get out of here first.
He said to Yuan Shitou, who was still in a daze, "Hurry up and carry the wild boar away, or we won't be able to leave if we wait any longer."
Yuan Shitou nodded, grabbed the wild boar by its two legs, and carried it on his back.
The two ran quickly down the mountain.
They walked quickly, carrying the wild boar back along a path they had taken before.
There was no other way; I was afraid the villagers would see me.
It wouldn't be right not to share some meat with others when the time comes.
Yun Xiaoxiao didn't want the wild boar she had worked so hard to hunt to be taken away by someone else.
Not even a small piece.
So she asked Yuan Shitou to go with her along a hidden path they had taken before.
Although it was a bit convoluted, fortunately no one noticed.
I remember the wild boar I hunted with a trap last time; it took the same route.
Last time, it was because he was afraid that Fan Xiaohua would pester Yuan Shitou.
This time, they were afraid of being discovered and having others come to ask for the meat back.
Especially some of the old women in the village, they're incredibly shameless.
Whenever they see young men returning with their prey, they come up to ask for it.
Young people are strong and easy to talk to.
I would take one out each time.
This has only fueled their appetites.
Whenever they see it, they want to come up and ask for it.
Everyone in the village was very poor, and if they wanted to eat meat, they had to go into the mountains to hunt.
The other smaller ones are mostly inhabited by small animals.
There aren't many like wild boars.
Misty Mountain boasts the richest prey.
Moreover, the prey inside is not only plentiful, but also very large.
If others saw the size of this wild boar, they would definitely know that they went to Misty Mountain.
To avoid causing unnecessary trouble, it's better to take this route.
Yuan Shitou walked behind, watching Yun Xiaoxiao walking briskly ahead, feeling very curious.
But I know now is not the time to talk about this.
He had no choice but to suppress his doubts and head home.
He was worried that the two large baskets of mushrooms would weigh down Xiao Xiao's small, thin body.
When the two returned home, Yuan's mother was holding Gou Dan'er and coaxing him to sleep.
She was startled when she saw the two people who suddenly appeared.
Putting down the dog egg he was holding, he quickly helped Yun Xiaoxiao take the basket off her back.
Yuan Shitou then casually threw the wild boar on the ground.
Both of them sat on the ground, panting heavily.
After taking such a long detour, the two of them were exhausted by the time they got home.
When Yuan's mother saw the blood on the two of them, she pulled Yun Xiaoxiao to check them over.
"Little one, where are you hurt? Tell your mother quickly."
Yun Xiaoxiao shook her head: "Mother, don't worry, I'm not hurt."
This is all wild boar blood.
Seeing that she was indeed unharmed, Yuan's mother asked Yuan Shitou again:
"Stone, are you hurt?"
Yuan Shitou also shook his head: "I am not injured."
Mrs. Yuan hurried inside to find Mr. Yuan.
Mr. Yuan was taking a nap when he heard the noise and got up.
According to Yuan's mother, Shi Tou and the others have returned, and they brought back a large wild boar.
Come out quickly.
They saw a large wild boar on the ground, much bigger than the one they had hunted last time.
He picked up Gou Dan'er, who was sitting on the ground, and said to Yuan's mother:
"Go and make them something to eat, they must be starving."
Yuan Shitou wiped the sweat from his face, filled the water vat with water, and washed himself.
They also fetched water for Yun Xiaoxiao to wash.
It's summer now, and the water in the tank isn't so cold under the sun.
Yun Xiaoxiao rested for a while before getting up and washing herself.
She went back inside and changed into clean clothes.
Yuan Shitou didn't mind, grabbed her clothes, and started washing them in the wooden basin next to him.
He was really good to Yun Xiaoxiao, often washing her clothes and shoes for her.
At first, Yun Xiaoxiao was a little embarrassed.
I gradually got used to it.
Yuan Shitou didn't just wash for her alone.
Sometimes she would also help Yuan's parents and Gou Dan'er with their laundry.
Soon, Yuan's mother brought out two bowls of dumpling soup.
Dumpling soup is made from corn mixed with flour.
It smells quite nice.
Yun Xiaoxiao was indeed starving and wolfed down her food.
This is the best meal I've ever had here.
Yuan Shitou noticed that she ate quickly.
And they finished eating very quickly.
Thinking that she must not have eaten enough, he scooped some food from his own bowl into Yun Xiaoxiao's bowl.
Yun Xiaoxiao slurped down a big bowl of dumpling soup and was feeling very full.
Unexpectedly, Yuan Shitou scooped so much into her bowl again.
He was immediately at a loss for words, and poured the dumpling soup from his bowl back into Yuan Shitou's bowl.
"I'm full, I'm stuffed, you can eat by yourself."
Seeing that she didn't seem to be lying, Yuan Shitou nodded and continued eating his dumpling soup.
Yuan's mother watched with great satisfaction.
Her rough and unruly son is also quite endearing.
Dog Egg originally wanted to go to sleep.
I didn't expect that your commotion would make me so sleepy.
He looked at the large wild boar on the ground, his eyes gleaming.
My thoughts are the same as Yun Xiaoxiao's.
Meat, all meat, lots and lots of meat.
In the past, Yuan Shitou would sell any game he hunted, as long as there was someone in the village who wanted to buy it.
I never dared to eat it.
Since Yun Xiaoxiao arrived, all the prey they hunted has been kept for their own consumption.
Any leftovers were salted and made into cured meat.
For no other reason than that Xiaoxiao likes to eat meat.
