Chapter 65: A Wild Boar
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Su Ning harbored suspicions and voiced her concern, Third Sister-in-law, do you hear that? Is it the sound of wild boars?
The noise seemed to originate from the direction of the trap.
Qin Zhenzhen set aside the iron hoe she was holding. Indeed, those are wild boar sounds. Im going to check if a wild boar has fallen into the trap!
She couldnt 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 boars unsuccessful attempts to escape the trap.
Su Ning placed her basket down. Ill come along and have a look!
Both of them hastened their steps towards the trap.
En route, Su Ning heard Su Chengs enthusiastic shout, Third Sister-in-law, Sixth Sister, theres a wild boar caught in Second Brothers trap!
Upon hearing the news, Su Ning couldnt contain her excitement. How big is
Probably around 150 kg!
Su Ning grew even more elated. Third Sister-in-law, youre incredibly fortunate! The leaves you gathered truly attracted the wild boar!
Qin Zhenzhen tried to suppress her laughter. I was merely testing it out. Wild boars are so foolish, and were fortunate too. Then were all lucky, Third Sister-in-law!
The two of them arrived at the trap.
Sure enough, a sizable wild boar weighing approximately 150 kg was captured within.
Su Cheng couldnt stop grinning.
Su Ning proceeded to inform Su Cheng about Qin Zhenzhens leaf-picking method.
Su Chengs eyes widened. Does that really work? Its unbelievable!
Su Ning nodded in agreement. Absolutely true, but its still hard to believe! Third Sister-in-law, youre not only lucky, but also clever with plenty of ideas!
Su Cheng gazed at the captured wild boar. Third Sister-in-law, how do we go about dealing with this wild boar?
Qin Zhenzhen responded, First, we need to kill it, and then we can drag it back.
It seemed obvious that they couldnt bring the wild boar home without first dispatching it.
Su Ning expressed her concern. Third Sister-in-law, do you know how to slaughter pigs?
Neither she nor Fifth Brother possessed such knowledge.
Qin Zhenzhen shook her head. Im not familiar with the process.
Even if she did know, a sickle wouldnt be sufficient to kill a wild boar.
Slaughtering pigs required the a.s.sistance of several individuals, let alone dealing with a wild boar.
In her previous life, she wouldnt have dared to confront a wild boar alone.
Su Cheng sighed regretfully. If only Second Brother were here.
What if I go back to the village and seek help? Qin Zhenzhen shook her head.
Lets go to my home and fetch my brothers.
Its not far from here, and its still early.
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. Yes, we should go and fetch Third Sister-in-laws brothers.
The villagers here dont know how to slaughter pigs.
Moreover, if they sought a.s.sistance 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 Zhenzhens brothers.
After all, Third Sister-in-laws brothers had been incredibly helpful the day before.
Su Cheng also recognized this and agreed. Alright, Ill head there right away! Qin Zhenzhen reminded him, Dont bother collecting firewood, just go back empty-handed.
Got it!
Su Cheng, accustomed to traversing the mountains, swiftly disappeared from sight.
Qin Zhenzhen turned to Su Ning. You stay here and keep watch. Ill gather the yams and load them into the basket. Then Ill join you in standing guard.
Since the wild boar couldnt 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 boars commotion could attract people from nearby, so it was essential for them to remain vigilant..
