A few days later, Yuan Shitou and the others returned.
They were all covered in blood, and each of them was pushing a wheelbarrow full of prey.
They also had some on their bodies.
Especially on Yuan Shitou's wheelbarrow, the piles were overflowing.
Fortunately, he was tall and could see the road ahead.
If someone is shorter, their view is blocked by the prey on the wheelbarrow, and they can't see the road ahead at all.
This time, no one hid their prey; they all brought it to the drying ground in the village.
Yuan Shitou shouted loudly to the people who had gathered around him:
“We went hunting in the mountains these days and didn’t go to collect chestnuts and pine nuts.”
If any of you want prey, you can go back and get something to exchange for it.
Hearing him say that, many people ran home.
Little Yuan Ping'an was also in the crowd, and he was very happy to see his uncle bring back so much prey.
Hearing that he could exchange it for something, he quickly ran home to tell his grandma.
Let her carry the baskets to the drying ground.
When Yuan's mother heard that her son had returned, she quickly picked up her basket and went to the drying ground.
Xiao Xiao wanted to go and see, but Yuan's mother wouldn't let her, fearing that too many people would cause her trouble.
Xiao Xiao was also a little scared, so she gave up.
If she doesn't want to go, she doesn't have to go. She can just wait at home.
Yuan Ping'an returned and called his grandmother, then quickly slung a basket over his shoulder and ran to the drying ground.
Yuan Shitou saw him coming and happily patted his head:
Why didn't you ask your grandma to come and pick out things?
Yuan Ping'an smiled brightly: "Grandma will be here soon."
My uncle had a very good haul this time.
Yuan Shitou said smugly, "Of course, you don't even know who your uncle is."
As the uncle and nephew were talking, those who wanted to trade for prey arrived one after another with their goods.
The threshing ground was bustling with activity, which lasted until almost dark before the crowd dispersed.
Yuan Shitou and his men had already divided up their prey on the mountain.
Yuan Shitou had so many because he hunted two more wild boars when he returned.
He was lucky, really.
Everyone was resting, and he was about to go to the restroom when he unexpectedly encountered two wild boars.
The wild boar charged at him as soon as it saw him.
He couldn't defeat two wild boars by himself.
If you ask him to give it up, he definitely won't be willing to. Who would give up something they've already got their hands on?
Besides, even if he wanted to let go, the wild boar wouldn't let him go.
Two wild boars were chasing him, and for a moment he really had no way to stop them.
Since you want to fight, then let's fight.
However, he has to fight them one by one.
He doesn't have the ability to attack two wild boars at the same time.
He kept all his hunting tools on a wheelbarrow and only had a dagger on him.
Therefore, they always attack one side.
Little did they know that the two wild boars were a male and a female.
Two pigs were having a romantic time when Yuan Shitou interrupted them. How could they not be angry?
The male wild boar kept hitting his wife whenever it saw this man.
He immediately became furious.
When Yuan Shitou kicked his wife in the head again, she lunged at Yuan Shitou.
Yuan Shitou certainly wouldn't let it arch.
So they started fighting.
It has to be said, this male wild boar is indeed quite formidable.
It left him feeling quite exhausted.
To avoid being rooted up by the wild boar, he had no choice but to circle around a few big trees.
I wanted to use this to regain my strength.
I don't know if the wild boar was just unlucky or had a bad temper.
As I was spinning around, I accidentally bumped into a tree.
The fangs were stuck in the tree trunk and couldn't be pulled out immediately.
Seeing this situation, Yuan Shitou wasn't about to let it go; he finished it off with a single stroke.
The remaining sow, which he had kicked to the ground and was still struggling, struggled even more fiercely.
No matter how much it struggled, it was no use; Yuan Shitou kicked it twice.
He's already suffered internal injuries from being kicked, so he can't run away at all.
Yuan Shitou easily dealt with the wild boar.
The group of people resting in the woods felt that Yuan Shitou had been gone for a rather long time.
She then wondered whether she should go and look for him.
Hearing the call of a wild boar startled them even more.
They had only run a few steps when they saw Yuan Shitou appear before them, dragging two wild boars.
Everyone was astonished. What kind of luck did this person have?
How could going out to urinate kill two wild boars?
It's something to be envied.
These two wild boars were killed by one person, so they couldn't possibly share them.
Besides, the prey on their wheelbarrows gets a rating, so they're getting a great deal out of it.
They are not the kind of people who are greedy.
Previously, Yuan Shitou was the most skilled among their group, and later he often went up the mountain with Xiao Xiao.
Furthermore, they honed their skills to an exceptional level.
Therefore, they are incomparable.
Tonight, many families in the village had meat to eat.
They also picked a lot of chestnuts and pine nuts on the mountain.
Some families with many members collected over a thousand kilograms.
Taking out two or three hundred pounds and exchanging them for some meat would be a good idea.
After all, no one would eat chestnuts and pine nuts as a staple food.
Besides, they haven't eaten meat in a long time.
Yuan Shitou went back and quickly washed his face and body.
Only then did he move closer to Xiaoxiao's side.
"Xiaoxiao, is anything bothering you?"
Have the kids been fussy while I've been away from home these past few days?
Actually, he really wanted to ask Xiaoxiao, "Have you missed me? I miss you so much."
But seeing his father, mother, and Ping An standing to the side, he was too embarrassed to say it.
Xiao Xiao helped him wipe the water droplets off his face.
She said, "No, I'm fine, and the children are very well-behaved."
Although this person is always clinging to her at home, to the point that she's starting to get angry.
But after not seeing him for a few days, I still miss him a little.
Knowing that they had gone hunting in Misty Mountain made him even more worried.
That's just how people are.
If you're with him, you won't feel any danger.
Even when we're not together, the thought of the potential dangers he might face still makes me very worried.
Mr. Yuan looked at his son and resignedly followed Mrs. Yuan to unload the things from the wheelbarrow.
Then they began to tidy up.
With so many things, they definitely need to be cleaned up and salted.
Xiao Xiao suddenly missed the cured meat and sausages from before.
He then pestered Yuan's mother to make some for him to satisfy his craving.
If it tastes good, I'll make more in the future.
Mother Yuan, of course, had no objections.
All the necessary seasonings are available at home.
The meat will be fine to leave overnight.
However, Yuan's mother still stayed up all night by herself.
After marinating the meat and cutting up the meat for making sausages, I went back to my room for a short nap.
There's still a lot of prey on the ground that hasn't been processed.
Mr. Yuan has been feeling a bit chilled these past couple of days and has been feeling weak all over.
So Yuan's mother told him to go and rest early.
Yuan Shitou has just returned from the mountains, so he definitely needs to rest well.
We can do it tomorrow.
When Yuan's mother woke up, Xiao Xiao had already prepared breakfast.
After the meal, the family sat together and began to prepare the game.
Yuan's mother was making sausages with Xiao Xiao.
Yuan Ping'an also helped out from the side.
Don't underestimate him just because he's small; he's very clever and quick to learn.
