She didn't go deep today, so why are there wild boars?
Zhao Xiayu was so frightened that her legs went weak and she turned around and wanted to run, but there were only weeds and branches all around her and she had no idea where to escape. Her eyes were red with anxiety, and suddenly, she saw a big tree in front of her. The trunk was thick enough for her to hide. She ran towards the tree with all her strength, and when the wild boar was about to catch up with her, she suddenly hid behind the tree.
The wild boar couldn't stop and crashed into a big tree with a loud "bang". The wild boar felt the pain, uttered an "owl", and took a few steps back. It was a little dizzy after being hit, and shook its head in place, "Oh God, please don't let me die here today!" She held the wooden stick, and as long as she touched the wild boar, she would put it into the space.
The wooden stick was still trying to touch the wild boar. At this time, "Ahh...", the wild boar let out a painful howl. Zhao Xiaoyu looked up and saw an arrow stuck in the wild boar's eye. Its face was covered in blood. It was twisting its body wildly and bumping around, making a mess of the surrounding trees and grass.
"Follow me!"
Xiao Lei pulled her and ran down the mountain.
Zhao Xiaoyu was pulled by Xiao Lei, staggering but not daring to stop. In his ears was the whistling sound of the wind and the painful and angry howling of the wild boar behind him. She was running in front, and the dead pig was still chasing her from behind. Zhao Xiaoyu was almost desperate, and she could hardly run anymore...
The two of them ran desperately down the mountain, stumbling along the way. Zhao Xiaoyu almost fell several times, but was held back by Xiao Lei each time. She was breathing heavily and looking back as she ran. Although the wild boar was not injured, it was still chasing her relentlessly, with such a crazy momentum that it seemed as if it would not stop until it tore them into pieces.
Xiao Lei shouted as he ran: "Don't look back, run quickly, we will be safe once we reach the foot of the mountain!" Zhao Xiaoyu nodded hurriedly and followed Xiao Lei's steps closely.
The branches kept scratching their bodies, leaving tiny wounds, but they could not care less. After finally running down the mountain, Zhao Xiaoyu could not run anymore, so she sat down against a big tree, gasping for breath, "I... I can't live anymore." If this person was not there, she might have put the pig into the space.
Xiao Lei also stopped, bent down slightly, and rested his hands on his knees to catch his breath. He looked at Zhao Xiaoyu's embarrassed appearance and said, "You are unlucky today. Generally speaking, there are no wild animals in that place."
Zhao Xiaoyu curled her lips. No one could stop her luck. She hadn't been up the mountain for so long, and as soon as she went up the mountain, she received a big gift. "Thank you so much for being here today!" Although without him, she might have gotten a wild boar for free, he also had good intentions. Whoever saw the wild boar would not run away for his own life, but he was able to find a way to save her life. He is a good person.
Help me, twice!
"Be careful when you look for medicinal herbs next time. This mountain is not peaceful."
"Yeah." Zhao Xiaoyu raised her eyebrows. This person actually knew that she was looking for medicinal herbs, not wild vegetables.
When they reached the foot of the mountain, Xiao Lei took the initiative to distance himself from her and went his separate ways to avoid causing rumors. In the village, anyone who saw him would take a detour.
Mrs. Song saw that her daughter's clothes were torn and there were bloodstains on her face and hands. She asked in panic, "Xiaoyu, what happened to you?"
"Don't mention it. We encountered wild boars in the mountains."
"What, you encountered a wild boar?" Song asked.
Zhao Xiaoyu felt a little itchy from the prickly ears.
"Bang!" The tea bowl that Zhao Dashu brought back as he just entered the room broke into pieces.
Zhao Dashu grabbed her and looked around, "Did you encounter a wild boar when you went up the mountain? What happened? Where are you injured? Are you okay? Dad, doctor! I told you to follow me, follow me, but you refused!"
"It's okay, it's okay. I was lucky this time. Xiao Lei saved me. He took me down the mountain. I just got a few scratches. I got scratched by a branch when I was going down the mountain. I was running so fast that I didn't pay attention."
"Are you really okay?" Why is he so unconvinced? Who can be safe if encountered by a wild boar?
"It's all right."
"Mother, go to the room and check where she's injured. If it's serious, we'll call a doctor right away."
"Ai!"
Song wiped away her tears. It was all because of her and the head of the household being useless. The whole family depended on one child to earn money, and she had to search the mountains for medicinal herbs every day. All right, all right, the kid went up the mountain and encountered a wild boar and almost couldn’t come back.
Thinking about it, she felt so heartbroken as if she was cut by a slut, and she wanted to slap herself in the face. She and the head of the household were really unbecoming. How could they let the child go up the mountain by himself again and again?
Zhao Xiaoyu was pulled into the house by the Zhao family. Before she could refuse, she was stripped naked by the mother. Zhao Xiaoyu held her forehead with her hand and thought, "Why must I be so fierce? Oh my god!"
After turning her over and over and checking her thoroughly, Song was finally relieved to confirm that she only had some scratches on her arms, face and feet.
"Don't even think about going up the mountain again. Even if we starve to death, we don't need you to exchange your life for silver."
It would be a shame not to go up the mountain, because you can make money quickly up there. "Mom, do you believe me when I say that today was an accident? Xiao Lei said that I was unlucky. Normally, there wouldn't be any big wild animals in that place."
Song didn't want to hear all this. Whenever she thought about the child being alone in the mountains and seeing the wild boar, and how scared she must have been, she felt so distressed that she could hardly control herself. Even if my daughter had the guidance of a fairy, she is still just an eleven-year-old girl. It was because she and the head of the family were too careless. It will never happen again.
After putting on his clothes, he walked out of the house. "What's going on?" Zhao Dashu stood up immediately when he saw someone coming out.
He looked pale and was still in shock. It's so damn scary. It's true that there are wild boars in the mountains, but no one usually sees them because they are all deep in the mountains.
"It's okay, just a little scrape. We still have some medicine we bought a few days ago. I applied it on her."
"That's good, that's good. Xiaoyu, have you been to the mountains?"
"How is that possible? I was halfway up the mountain. I don't know what the wild boar was thinking today. Why did it come down the mountain?"
"You said Xiao Lei saved you?"
"Well, I don't know where he came from. He shot an arrow through the wild boar's eye. The wild boar felt the pain and grabbed me and ran down the mountain."
Zhao Dashu keenly grasped the key point in her words, "Caught you?" How could he not know who Xiao Lei was? He was a well-known miserable kid in the village. Oh, and he was also unlucky in marriage. Everyone said that he was doomed to fail.
"Yeah, I couldn't run fast, so he dragged me along. I almost fell many times, but luckily he didn't let go."
Zhao Dashu and Song Shi: …
Oh my God, their daughter’s little hand was scratched by a pig’s hoof!
