Su Ning harbored suspicions and voiced her concern, âThird Sister-in-law, do you hear that? Is it the sound of wild boars?â
The noise seemed to originate from the direction of the trap.
Qin Zhenzhen set aside the iron hoe she was holding. âIndeed, those are wild boar sounds. Iâm going to check if a wild boar has fallen into the trap!â
She couldnât hide her excitement. The wild boar must have been lured by her spiritual water, and now the ravenous creature had unwittingly become ensnared!
Chuckling to herself, she attributed the furious noises to the wild boarâs unsuccessful attempts to escape the trap.
Su Ning placed her basket down. âIâll come along and have a look!â
Both of them hastened their steps towards the trap.
En route, Su Ning heard Su Chengâs enthusiastic shout, âThird Sister-in-law, Sixth Sister, thereâs a wild boar caught in Second Brotherâs trap!â
Upon hearing the news, Su Ning couldnât contain her excitement. âHow big is
âProbably around 150 kg!â
Su Ning grew even more elated. âThird Sister-in-law, youâre incredibly fortunate! The leaves you gathered truly attracted the wild boar!â
Qin Zhenzhen tried to suppress her laughter. âI was merely testing it out. Wild boars are so foolish, and weâre fortunate too.â âThen weâre all lucky, Third Sister-in-law!â
The two of them arrived at the trap.
Sure enough, a sizable wild boar weighing approximately 150 kg was captured within.
Su Cheng couldnât stop grinning.
Su Ning proceeded to inform Su Cheng about Qin Zhenzhenâs leaf-picking method.
Su Chengâs eyes widened. âDoes that really work? Itâs unbelievable!â
Su Ning nodded in agreement. âAbsolutely true, but itâs still hard to believe! Third Sister-in-law, youâre not only lucky, but also clever with plenty of ideas!â
Su Cheng gazed at the captured wild boar. âThird Sister-in-law, how do we go about dealing with this wild boar?â
Qin Zhenzhen responded, âFirst, we need to kill it, and then we can drag it back. â
It seemed obvious that they couldnât bring the wild boar home without first dispatching it.
Su Ning expressed her concern. âThird Sister-in-law, do you know how to slaughter pigs?â
Neither she nor Fifth Brother possessed such knowledge.
Qin Zhenzhen shook her head. âIâm not familiar with the process.â
Even if she did know, a sickle wouldnât be sufficient to kill a wild boar.
Slaughtering pigs required the assistance of several individuals, let alone dealing with a wild boar.
In her previous life, she wouldnât have dared to confront a wild boar alone.
Su Cheng sighed regretfully. âIf only Second Brother were here.â
âWhat if I go back to the village and seek help?â Qin Zhenzhen shook her head.
âLetâs go to my home and fetch my brothers.â
âItâs not far from here, and itâs still early.â
The two villages were in close proximity to each other.
Qin Village was closer to the town, but it also had close ties to Qian Village.
Su Ning chimed in. âYes, we should go and fetch Third Sister-in-lawâs brothers.â
âThe villagers here donât know how to slaughter pigs.â
Moreover, if they sought assistance from the villagers, they would likely demand a portion of the wild boar as compensation.
Su Ning made up her mind to share the wild boar with Oin Zhenzhenâs brothers.
After all, Third Sister-in-lawâs brothers had been incredibly helpful the day before.
Su Cheng also recognized this and agreed. âAlright, Iâll head there right away!â Qin Zhenzhen reminded him, âDonât bother collecting firewood, just go back empty-handed.â
âGot it!â
Su Cheng, accustomed to traversing the mountains, swiftly disappeared from sight.
Qin Zhenzhen turned to Su Ning. âYou stay here and keep watch. Iâll gather the yams and load them into the basket. Then Iâll join you in standing guard.â
Since the wild boar couldnât escape the trap, it oscillated between fury and panic. It aimlessly wandered within the enclosure, using its snout to dig around.
The clamor created by the wild boarâs commotion could attract people from nearby, so it was essential for them to remain vigilant..
