Haitang was with a few people. The oldest female here was probably in her twenties, named Xiaoqiu. Xiaoqiu was leading Haitang and the others, saying, "You all take these."
Several people also carried wooden spikes with them. When Haitang looked at them, she said, "It wouldn't be good if we encountered wild animals on the road."
"Mm." Haitang and the others nodded. Although they hadn't walked far, there was still some distance between them. Under these circumstances, Haitang simply started following the group.
"What's wrong, Haitang?" someone asked, looking at Haitang. Haitang looked up at the distance, and Xiaoqiu also looked up. "That thing is inedible."
"Sure." Those are jelly fruits. Begonia actually knows that winter is just around the corner. The problem is that these plants gather together regardless of spring, summer, autumn, or winter.
Winter is very, very long, long enough for many people to starve to death. Sometimes winter is half the length of winter, and sometimes it lasts about three months.
In winter, when everything is covered in snow, Haitang needs to prepare more food.
When Haitang saw the fruit, she thought of taking it home to use. Haitang wanted to climb the tree, but she couldn't. When Xiaoqiu saw her, she grabbed the tree and climbed up.
"If you want this fruit, I'll pick it for you, but it's not edible." Although it has never poisoned anyone, "it tastes terrible."
"I know, thank you Xiaoqiu. Xiaoqiu, pick some for me, and I'll give you a basket later." Xiaoqiu was immediately happy and tossed the crabapple leaves down, and the crabapple carefully gathered them up.
Upon hearing this, Haitang immediately became happy and began picking them up. Haitang didn't pick too many, only half a basket.
Then they started looking for food around, and Xiao Qiu also started picking wild fruits. "I don't know how long this winter will last, these fruits can't be stored."
Upon hearing this, Haitang glanced at the group of people, a thought forming in her mind. "The trade fair is coming up in a few days, and I'd like my husband to get me a piece of cloth."
"Cloth?" Haitang was stunned. She was currently wearing animal skins. Cloth... she remembered that she had some, but it was very, very expensive. Her stepmother had taken away all the cloth in the house, and what was left was for making clothes.
Haitang shook her head in this situation, stopped thinking about anything else, and started looking for food. This time, Haitang found quite a lot of wild vegetables and fruits.
The group of people couldn't help but feel envious as they looked at the large basket of crabapple blossoms. With these, they could bring back even more with each sale.
"Wait a minute..." Suddenly, Xiao Qiu stopped. Haitang and the others were slightly taken aback. They saw a wild boar not far away. The wild boar, which looked to weigh one or two hundred pounds, was looking at several females.
Haitang and the others' expressions changed. "Don't move!" Xiao Qiu was quite experienced. When she saw the pig, she told everyone not to move. When Haitang looked at the pig, she immediately swallowed hard.
Thinking of escaping, the wild boar looked at the girls and pounced on them in the next second. Haitang immediately squatted down and drove the wooden root that Xiaoqiu had given her into the ground.
At that moment, the wild boar's pounce was too powerful, and it was directly pierced through by the tree root. Haitang was the weakest one here, and the wild boar directly picked on her, the softest persimmon.
Haitang was knocked down by the wild boar, and cried out in pain, "Ouch, ouch..."
"Haitang..." Xiaoqiu and the others immediately ran over. The wild boar was dead. Haitang knew from watching Wilderness Survival that if you were targeted by a wild animal, running away meant certain death.
Moreover, she had read a lot of principles, and at that moment her head felt heavy, but she still subconsciously thought of saving herself, and she succeeded.
"This pig is dead..." The group was a little surprised and looked at Haitang in astonishment. In fact, Haitang was lucky.
"Haitang, you're amazing." Everyone was surprised when they saw this. Xiao Qiu swallowed and looked at the pork, but everyone knew that this was Haitang's prey, so although they were tempted, they didn't touch it.
"Um... let's take this back. I'll give you half. Can you have your men clean it up?" Xiao Qiu and the others were slightly taken aback when they heard this.
"Really?" The four of them are still getting a lot of meat left over, and it's important to remember that the female hunted it herself; the orcs don't even have the right to take a share.
"Yes, it's true." Haitang nodded. She'd keep it all by herself? Was there no one to say anything? The problem was, if several people came out together, she couldn't take it back, and besides... she needed someone else's help.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Qiu and the others abandoned the wild fruits and quickly dragged the wild boar back together. Xiao Qiu went to find her husband to process the pork.
The other women were similar. When the four men saw it, they were a little surprised. Xiao Qiu's man, Shi Yue, looked at the pig, and Xiao Qiu immediately told them what had happened.
"You guys are lucky; you just stumbled upon this thing." Xiao Qiu immediately became unhappy upon hearing this.
"What do you mean 'bumped into it by herself'? It was Haitang who saw the wild boar coming, stuck the stick in the ground, and then made the wild boar suffer." Hearing his wife's words, Shiyue looked at Haitang with some surprise.
However, they soon had a bright idea. Even they would have to transform into beast form to kill the wild boar. Haitang's method was good.
The meat was cut up; Haitang's was all top-quality meat. "You don't want the bones, I'll take them." Haitang took the jelly fruit back, then brought two more baskets, giving one to Xiaoqiu, and then followed her two younger brothers to get the meat.
Xiao Qiu was delighted to see the basket, and the other girls watched without saying a word. Xiao Qiu had picked wild fruits for Haitang by climbing the tree, but they were still a little envious as they watched her carry it on her back.
"Begonia... I'll go home and get some salt to trade with you." A girl ran up to him. She was about fifteen or sixteen years old. A few days ago, she followed an orc. Every day she went to pick wild fruits, but she could never bring them back.
"Okay, not too much." Haitang nodded, gestured, and then carried the bones home. After returning home, Haitang started cooking. Earlier, Shiyue had burned off the pig hair from the meat for Haitang, and the other men had cut the meat into small pieces for her.
Haitang was overjoyed, and the other females were happy too. This meat would last them for several days, of course, only enough to satisfy their appetites. If it were a beastman, it would probably be gone in two days.
As Haitang walked, she noticed a sheep licking stones in the distance. Seeing the sheep and then her younger brother, she immediately warned Xingxing and Yueyue to be careful, "Let's be careful..."
