nBringing the Wild Boar Back

nAt 4 o’clock, Lin Xiaoyue told Liu Shi that she might be late and left the house with her bow and arrow.

nAfter entering the mountain, Lin Xiaoyue went around to the back of the mountain and went straight to the stream.

nShe did not turn back until it was close to 7 o’clock.

nAs she had walked quite far this time, when she returned to the front of the mountain, the sky was already dark.

nAfter making sure that there was no one else on the mountain, Lin Xiaoyue picked a place to take out the wild boar.

nThen, she made a few arrow wounds on the wild boar’s head and cut some branches to cover it before running down the mountain towards home.

nAt this time, the anxious Liu Shi was holding her son and going out to look for her. Seeing her daughter running back, she was relieved.

n“Why are you so late?!” She scolded her.

n“Hehe, there is a lot of prey in the mountains, so I was delayed,” Lin Xiaoyue said cheerfully.

n“Mom, get ready, I got a big one!” She said as she moved closer to Liu Shi.

n“What?” Liu Shi didn’t understand what she meant.

n“You’ll know in a while. I’m going to Aunt Wang’s house to ask for Uncle Wang and Shuanzi’s help. Just wait for it!” Lin Xiaoyue said.

nWithout saying anything else, she turned around and ran to Aunt Wang’s house.

nWhen she reached the Wang family’s house, Aunt Wang just came out to get some water.

nSeeing Lin Xiaoyue rushing over, she hurriedly asked what was going on.

n“Aunt, where are uncle and Shuanzi? I need to see them urgently!” Lin Xiaoyue said anxiously.

n“They’re in the house. Don’t worry, I’ll go and get them!” Aunt Wang said hurriedly.

nShe turned around and shouted into the house, “Dear, Shuanzi!” She shouted while walking into the house.

nAfter a short while, Uncle Wang and Shuanzi walked out.

n“What’s wrong?” They asked Aunt Wang.

n“Hurry Up! It’s Xiaoyue. She said she has something urgent to talk to you about!” Aunt Wang said, then quickly turned around and followed Uncle Wang out.

nWhen they reached the door, before Uncle Wang could ask anything, Lin Xiaoyue said hurriedly, “I killed a wild boar. I’ve already drained its blood, but I couldn’t bring it back. Can you and Shuanzi come with me to bring it back?”

nThe Wang family members were shocked.

nWhat? She killed a wild boar and even drained its blood?

n“Let’s go!” Uncle Wang said to Wang Shuanzi and immediately stepped out of the door.

n“Okay!” Wang Shuanzi quickly turned around to get his things.

nAunt Wang watched them leave in a hurry and said, “aiya!” Then, she ran to the Liu family house.

nUncle Wang followed Lin Xiaoyue while asking her how she did it.

n“Actually, I didn’t really kill it. It was already heavily injured and could barely stand up.”

n“Wild boars rarely come to the front of the mountain. Maybe a hunter chased it out of the mountains and it ended up in your hands,” Uncle Wang said.

n“You’re really lucky!”

n“Hehe, maybe God knows that our family is having a hard time, so he gave me a wild boar,” Lin Xiaoyue said with a smile.

nUncle Wang laughed.

n“Now that you are so capable, your mother can earn some money doing embroidery. Her life will get better and better,” Uncle Wang said encouragingly.

n“Yes! I will work hard!”

nAs she spoke, they came to the place where she hid the wild boar.

nWhen Uncle Wang saw it, he was shocked.

n“It must weigh more than 500 pounds!” exclaimed Uncle Wang.
