around anymore.Liàn Yī zhì yī zhǐ dìn zài chuāngwài, gǎn shǒu zhe zìrán jiè de lìliàng, zhè ràng tā xiǎng jì shūzhēng jiè yī wèi fēng líng fēng de nán rén, céngyīn xiàng tā fā qǐ guò tiǎozhàn, duìfān...After swaying for a while, the bush rustled and someone emerged from within. The other person was also very alert, holding a bow and arrow in their hand. Clearly, like them, they were up the mountain to hunt.

"Wen Xiaogē, why are you back on the mountain again"

The ripples parted the tranquility around him, and he addressed the person across from him.

The other party, upon seeing the four of them in a ripple, was taken aback for a moment before lowering the bow and arrow in their hand and speaking:

"I dug a trap on the mountain, come see if there are any catches."

Now everyone understands, it was Brother Wen who set the trap.

Wen Zhaoming never expected to encounter Miss Su again. It seemed they were both here for the hunt. At a glance, he saw a pheasant with an arrow stuck in it, held by one of the guards. His eyes swept across the area and discovered that his meticulously dug trap had been destroyed.

Then Ripples said with a smile,

"I never expected this, I shot a wild chicken, and it fell right into your trap."

This explains why his trap was ruined.

"It's alright, chickens are the lady's quarry. I'll reset the trap."

Wen Zhaoming saw clearly that the arrow had pierced directly through the wild chicken's neck. It must have fallen into the trap after death, otherwise, with the depth of the trap he had dug, this wild chicken would have been able to fly up.

Since we met, it must be fate. This wild chicken is considered our shared catch, half for each of us. It's lunchtime now, so let's roast it to offer to our ancestors.

Ripple decided right away.

"This"

Wen Zhaoming originally wanted to refuse, but Lian Yi didn't give him a chance.

"It's done, you can take it back and give it to your little sister. It won't be too flashy, and besides, your traps don't always catch anything."

Wen Zhaoming, after hearing Liyin's explanation and considering his family's circumstances and his sister's health, nodded in agreement.

Because the autumn harvest wasn't over yet, his family's food supply was running low. Furthermore, they had held a funeral before the harvest, leaving them with no extra money.

The only one or two ounces of silver and the two ounces of silver saved from hunting were spent on my sister's medical treatment. Fortunately, her body has recovered.

Because Ms. Su was willing to help a complete stranger, in his eyes, she was a good person. Not only was she kind-hearted, but she was also very careful in her actions. She didn't take advantage of him just because he was younger than her, proving that she was trustworthy.

The ripple didn't know that she had been given a good person card, and felt that she was quite fatefully connected with this strong young man.

Since the young mistress had spoken, several people quickly took action, starting a fire, preparing the wild chicken, and beginning to roast it. After half an hour, ripples was able to eat the wild chicken, the meat was still very chewy.

She wasn't being polite either, she just finished half a chicken. She tore off a drumstick for Wen Zhaoming and watched him eat it. Then, she wrapped up the rest in oil paper and told him to take it home.

Wen Zhaoming originally wanted to take the remaining half chicken back, but under Lianyi's firm attitude, he ate the chicken leg, thanked her, and prepared to leave.

The lotus, however, stood up at this moment and drew the sword from her waist, saying seriously:

"Miss, there's wild animal approaching. You guys hide behind the trees first. I and Cuiflower will handle this."

As soon as she finished speaking, Cuiflower who was eating a roasted flatbread also stood up. An He quickly pulled out a half-burnt piece of firewood and pulled his young mistress back.

The ripples also heard grunting, obviously wild boars. These are pests that specialize in ruining crops, especially during harvest season. Otherwise, it would be really hard to encounter them near the edge of the forest.

While Wen Zhaoming swiftly drew his bow and aimed an arrow toward the source of the sound, clearly intending to not let this prey escape.

At this moment, a 200-pound wild boar emerged, followed by a slightly smaller one. Then came two little black piglets, clearly a family of their own.

Wen Zhaoming's eyes lit up when he saw it. He aimed at the second wild boar, which was slightly smaller, and shot an arrow directly at it.

Meanwhile, the leading boar had charged towards the spot where Lianyi and her three companions stood. Hoa and Cuia's faces remained unchanged; they roared in anger and charged forward. The two of them worked together seamlessly, leaping into the air to dodge the boar's tusks, then simultaneously thrusting their half-length swords towards the wild pig from left and right.

The wild boar had rough skin and thick flesh, even its hair felt prickly. So both of them gripped their knives tightly, using all their strength to stab into it. Coupled with the boar's forward momentum, a long gash was ripped across its body, blood instantly gushing out. The two were also pulled back by the force.

An He seized the opportunity and pulled Lian Yi out of the way just in time to avoid the wild boar. The boar slammed headfirst into the tree behind them, bending it out of shape. It was clear how much force this creature had used.

Seeing the wild boar subdued, Lian Yi's crisis was averted. She turned her attention to Wen Zhao Ming.

Wen Zhaoming had already fired three arrows, hitting the wild boar's neck, body, and hind leg respectively. The smaller wild boar was covered in blood, but it still stubbornly charged towards Wen Zhaoming, apparently having taken him for its target.

Wen Zhaoming was not flustered. He used the trees around him for cover while taking the opportunity to draw his bow and shoot arrows, but this wild boar was very fast and didn't give him a chance to set up his shot.

The ripples immediately drew back her bow and fired an arrow. This was her chance to shine, as her strength surpassed that of Wen Zhaoming's. She pulled the bowstring taut until it resembled a full moon, aimed at the scurrying wild boar, and swiftly released the arrow. With a sharp "whoosh," the arrow struck the boar squarely in the head. The boar ran two more steps before collapsing.

Wen Zhaoming let out a sigh of relief and turned his head to see Miss Su putting away her bow. He complimented:

"Miss Su, what excellent archery skills!"

"Not bad."

Ripple humbly said.

"An He, go bring back those two little piglets."

"Yes, miss!"

An He saw the crisis was over, and then he dared to leave Ripple's side. The two piglets seemed to know that their parents were gone. They squealed twice and started running around, preparing to run away on their own. An He, quick as a wink, scooped up one with each hand and then found a vine to tie the two piglets up directly.

Lotus and Cuihua had already pulled the knife out of the wild boar's body and walked to Lian's side, saying:

"Miss, the smell of blood here is too strong; it might attract other wild beasts. We'd better leave now."

"Okay."

Ripples knew her guards better than they knew themselves, so she turned to Wen Zhaoming and asked:

"Little Wen, what are you going to do with this wild boar you hunted Take it back yourself, or sell it to me directly If you sell it to me, I'll pay you in silver."

Wen Zhaoming thought for a moment then said:

"Miss Su, you also contributed to hunting this wild boar. Just give me half the silver."

This was the result after he weighed it. If they brought the whole pig back to the village, his elder brother and sister-in-law (his married niece) would definitely come asking for a share. As elders, he couldn't flatly refuse them. It's better to have the silver in hand, which can be used to buy grain and also serve as emergency funds for the family. After all, his pockets are empty right now.

Ripple nodded, acknowledging the other party's intelligence. She readily produced five taels of silver and tossed them to Wen Zhaoming.

"Miss Su, that's too much."irst. Otherwise, she would have to work hard to save him. So she beckoned and drew the dagger from the ground back into her hand.After the ripples and the cursed dagger connected, they bound Choi Xu-d...
