Seeing that the two were in a sorry state, covered in dirt and with many leaves and grass seeds on their clothes.
Zhou Yang asked in surprise, "Weren't you going to hunt pheasants and pick wild fruits? What's going on here?"
Chu Yang helped Chen Li remove the soapberries and ghost needles that were stuck all over her body, and said helplessly, "Don't even mention it. I hadn't been in the mountains long when I ran into a wild boar in heat, and she chased me for two whole hills!"
Zhou Yang was stunned for a moment, then laughed rather unkindly.
Chu Yang shrugged: "There's nothing I can do. I'm just too handsome. Even a sow would chase after me."
Shen Li chimed in, "Yes, that's right, he's so handsome that we dare not go up the mountain again."
Zhou Yang laughed even harder.
Then, noticing a red mark on Chu Yang's neck, he teased, "Did a wild boar gnaw on your neck?"
Chu Yang glanced at Shen Li: "She shot him with a slingshot."
Shen Li said weakly, "I was clearly aiming at the wild boar..."
Chu Yang gently tapped her forehead: "Yeah, you always aim at wild boars, but you always shoot at me. I really suspect you're in cahoots with the sow."
Shen Li stuck out her tongue: "A few times I aimed at you, and I hit you very accurately."
Chu Yang: "..."
"Haha..." Zhou Yang laughed until his stomach hurt.
Old Chu had already hunted several pheasants and returned, and was in the kitchen killing and plucking them when he heard that there were wild boars on the mountain. He immediately carried a machete to find his third brother and also found several strong villagers.
Not long after, they came over and called Chu Yang along as well.
Chu Yang was somewhat unhappy, as he was still traumatized by being chased by the sow.
"With so many people, one more won't make a difference."
Uncle San chuckled and said, "I brought you there as bait. I heard from my eldest brother that you attract the attention of sows."
Chu Yang: ……(??_??|||)
Shen Li grabbed her slingshot and was about to follow: "I'll go help!"
Chu Yang quickly stopped him: "Please, I want to live a few more years."
So, the group went up the mountain in a grand procession, using Chu Yang as bait to hunt down the sow.
Everyone was very excited, saying they hadn't seen wild boars in the mountains for several years.
Of course, the main concern was that wild boars might run into the village at night and damage the vegetable fields and crops, and even more so, that some villagers might be injured.
Sure enough, Chu Yang did attract the attention of the female wild boar. Not long after entering the mountains, he found her hiding in the grass, her eyes gleaming with an unusual light.
Chu Yang shuddered and was about to call his father and third uncle to do it.
To his surprise, when he looked back, everyone was gone, leaving him standing alone in the same spot.
The mother wild boar got excited when she saw this and pounced on her with loud cries.
Chu Yang shouted in terror, "Don't come any closer!!"
Then he turned around and ran away.
After running a few steps, I suddenly saw a large net flying overhead.
Turning around, I saw that the mother wild boar had been successfully caught in the net and was starting to run around in panic.
Chu Yang quickly hid behind a tree and breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, my father and third uncle rushed over wielding machetes and clubs, and proceeded to ravage and humiliate the wild boar.
Chu Yang also rushed over, but not to help him get into trouble; he was there to break up the fight.
"Dad, Third Uncle, please don't kill it!"
Old Chu turned around: "What, you're still showing mercy to women? You've developed feelings after being kicked out?"
Chu Yang: "..."
"No, that's not it! Wild boars are now protected animals, and killing one will result in a fine and imprisonment!" he shouted.
Everyone stopped moving, and the scene fell into a state of stillness.
Then everyone looked at each other and scattered in a flash.
"I didn't hit it, I just scared it!"
"Me too, this wild boar is actually quite cute, who would have the heart to kill it?"
"My knife is for chopping wood, not for slaughtering pigs!"
"..."
Chu Yang looked at the pitiful, battered and bruised sow and was momentarily speechless.
Fortunately, he didn't die, nor was he seriously injured.
"So, what should we do? Just release them like that? What if they go back into the village and cause trouble or hurt people?" Old Chu asked, leaning closer.
Chu Yang thought for a moment: "Let's lock it up first, then contact the forestry department."
Old Chu nodded and waved his hand, "Stop hiding, the wild boar isn't dead. Come over here, tie it up, and take it down the mountain!"
So the wild boar was tied up and carried down the mountain by them.
The villagers all rushed out to watch the spectacle, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of Wu Song's tiger-fighting parade through the streets in ancient times.
Then, somehow, Chu Yang became known as a hero who rid the people of a scourge by killing pigs.
He can be described as a young talent who is both literate and martial, and whose looks are unparalleled.
You could see from the crowd that the village beauty from back then was holding a child in her arms, gazing at him with affection.
Finally, the wild boar was locked in Chu Yang's backyard, and the village chief contacted the forestry department to handle it.
After lunch, Chu Yang prepared to return to school.
The bar's renovation has already started, and I need to go to the site to explain some details.
Before leaving, Mom packed a lot of delicious food into the trunk, all for Shen Li and Zhou Yang.
He pulled Chu Yang aside and threatened him, "Treat them well. If your dad finds out you've hurt them, he'll break your legs!"
Chu Yang could only nod in agreement.
On the other side, Grandma held onto Shen Li and Zhou Yang's hands tightly, refusing to let go.
"Little Pear, Little Yang, come visit Grandma often."
She still mixed up their names, but their feelings were genuine.
Shen Li and Zhou Yang were also somewhat reluctant to part ways.
"Let's go, we'll come again next time we have a holiday," Chu Yang said.
The silver angel car slowly drove out of the village, leaving the villagers with endless admiration.
On the way, while waiting at a traffic light, Chen Li suddenly said, "Chu Yang, my grandmother gave me a treasured item that she has kept for many years."
Chu Yang was taken aback. A treasured possession that had been kept for many years? Could it be another 1982 Lan Jingling?
Then I saw her open her hand, revealing an old-fashioned silver ring with a piece of mutton fat jade set in the ring.
Chu Yang vaguely remembered this thing; he recalled that his grandmother had shown it to him when he was a child, saying that it was to be passed down to his granddaughter-in-law.
However, it seems there was more than one at the time.
"This is indeed a treasure; you must keep it safe," he said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, I'm sure I will. This is from Grandma." Shen Li was very happy, putting the ring on her hand and looking at it repeatedly.
Zhou Yang, standing beside him, remained silent, then looked down, opened his bag, and glanced inside.
Inside, there lay a silver ring of the same style, lying quietly.
