Chapter 30 Hunting Wild Boars
This was the first time Qin Yingxue had ever known what it felt like to have thick skin and tough flesh.
The dagger was incredibly sharp, but when it pierced the wild boar meat, Qin Yingxue's hand went numb from the shock.
The wild boar, in pain, attacked Qin Yingxue even more fiercely. At this point, Qin Yingxue dared not let her guard down any longer. She grabbed a handful of poison powder and threw it at the wild boar, taking the opportunity to stab the dagger into the boar's eye.
"Awooo..." A shrill howl echoed through the sky. While the wild boar was running around in all directions, Qin Yingxue raised her AK47, aimed at its head, and quickly pressed the down button.
With a "bang," the blow struck a vital spot, and the wild boar collapsed to the ground.
Qin Yingxue rushed over and saw the wild boar lying on the ground, barely breathing. She expressionlessly pulled out her dagger.
Blood splattered along with the dagger. Qin Yingxue wiped the dagger clean and finally calmed down.
Qin Yingxue stored the wild boar in her spatial storage and immediately converted it into RMB.
Wild boar meat is quite expensive; a 340-pound wild boar can be sold for 50 yuan per pound.
If it weren't for the deep psychological trauma this wild boar inflicted on her, she would have quite liked to eat wild boar meat.
Qin Yingxue rested for a while, ate something to fill her stomach, and then went deeper into the mountains to explore.
By evening, after taking the Swift Wind Pill four times, Qin Yingxue had crossed twenty mountain peaks and was heading back with a great harvest.
On the cliff face, we found several ancient Dendrobium officinale plants and several wild beehives, as well as bird's nests, several Ganoderma lucidum mushrooms, a century-old ginseng, and some deer antlers...
While crossing a stream, Qin Yingxue saw a herd of cows drinking water and suddenly had a craving for beef. She hunted a few cows and returned to the first mountain range, by which time the moon was already high in the sky.
Qin Yingxue found a spacious cave and moved Qin Dahe out of the space.
Before Qin Dahe woke up, Qin Yingxue gathered enough firewood for the night, plucked the feathers and gutted a wild rabbit and a pheasant, seasoned them with various spices, and then roasted them over the fire.
Qin Dahe was awakened by a series of enticing aromas.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I turned my head and saw Qin Yingxue sitting by the fire, turning the roasted pheasants and rabbits from time to time.
"What... what happened to me?" Qin Dahe recalled the scene before he lost consciousness and was immediately horrified. He hurriedly got up from the ground and looked around warily.
"It's alright now," Qin Yingxue quickly reassured him. "A pheasant suddenly appeared, and by the time I caught it, you were lying on the ground asleep. Third Brother, you know you have severe hypoglycemia?"
Qin Yingxue finished speaking with a serious expression.
"Low blood sugar?" Qin Dahe pointed at himself with a look of disbelief.
How could a grown man suffer from a delicate condition that only women are prone to?
"Yes!" Qin Yingxue nodded seriously.
Qin Dahe fell silent.
“You can’t skip breakfast from now on, and you need to nourish your body more. It must be because you’ve been working day and night to earn money and haven’t been resting properly that your health has collapsed.” As Qin Yingxue said this, she tore off a rabbit leg and tossed it to Qin Dahe, “Third Brother, eat it while it’s hot to nourish yourself.”
Qin Dahe reached out and took it, then sat down next to Qin Yingxue: "I originally wanted to bring you out to have fun, but instead you've ended up taking care of me."
Qin Dahe took a bite of a wild rabbit leg while rubbing the back of his neck.
Why does this area feel swollen and painful, like it's been hit by a heavy object...?
But soon, Qin Dahe's attention was completely drawn to the meat in his mouth, and he looked at Qin Yingxue with shining eyes: "Little sister, the wild rabbit you roasted is so delicious, very flavorful and the meat is tender."
"I brought some seasonings." Qin Yingxue couldn't wait to tear off a rabbit leg and eat it.
It has to be pure, natural wild game; both the meat quality and flavor are incomparable to those from artificially raised animals in later generations.
After finishing the wild rabbit, seeing that Qin Dahe was still not satisfied, Qin Yingxue handed her a roasted pheasant, keeping two chicken wings and a few pieces of meat from the belly for herself.
After filling her stomach, Qin Yingxue took out a few wild fruits from her cloth bag. They were sweet and sour, which was just right to cut through the greasiness.
After finishing the pheasant, Qin Dahe patted his round belly and collapsed to the ground, resting his head on his arm: "This is the first time in my life I've eaten so much meat. If only I could eat meat every day!"
"Third Brother, as long as you work hard to earn money, your dreams will come true," Qin Yingxue encouraged with a smile.
"I can't bear to spend money on meat. Tomorrow I have to clear out the traps so that I can go into the mountains whenever I crave meat. I won't be greedy, just a wild rabbit or a pheasant will do." Qin Dahe smacked his lips, his face full of reminiscence.
Qin Yingxue's face darkened.
Qin Dahe actually said that. Just for a pheasant, he spent half a day going into the mountains and risked everything just for a pheasant and a rabbit.
No, she had to put an end to his idea.
The two chatted for a while, listening to the occasional cries of wild animals outside, and feeling somewhat drowsy in the firelight.
People used to live in this cave, and the entrance was blocked with a large rock, so there was no plan to keep watch at night.
But Qin Dahe had slept all day and was no longer sleepy. After Qin Yingxue fell asleep peacefully, he quietly moved the stone away...
As dawn broke, Qin Yingxue lazily opened her eyes, stretched, and upon seeing the empty cave, hurriedly got up: "Third Brother... Third Brother..."
"I'm outside," Qin Dahe replied, his voice sounding somewhat distant.
Qin Yingxue quickly moved the stone aside and saw Qin Dahe carrying a roe deer on his back, striding towards them.
"You went hunting?" Qin Yingxue hurried over, her expression not very good.
"No, I couldn't sleep last night, so I went to clear the traps. When it was light, I looked back and hey, I saw this roe deer. It's a pity my family doesn't know we went into the mountains, so we can't take it to eat..."
Qin Dahe said with a look of regret.
"We can sell the roe deer and buy meat to take home," Qin Yingxue suggested.
Qin Dahe's eyes lit up: "That's right! Sister, I've cleared all the traps, and there's nothing else around. Why don't we go down the mountain and head to the county town first?"
As Qin Dahe finished speaking, his voice grew softer and softer.
He brought his sister into the mountains because he wanted her to experience some hardship so that she wouldn't have to worry about him anymore.
But this time when he went into the mountains, for some reason, Qin Dahe felt that something was wrong.
He couldn't say exactly what it was.
"Okay!" Qin Yingxue had already traveled through twenty mountains last night, and her space was filled with rare treasures. She was not in the mood for any more adventures and readily agreed.
Qin Dahe was immediately delighted. After finishing breakfast with Qin Yingxue, they hurried back.
Whether it was due to the trials and tribulations they had endured, just as the two of them successfully crossed the pontoon bridge and reached the other side, the decades-old bridge suddenly broke and plunged into the abyss, disappearing without a trace in an instant.
Qin Dahe's face turned pale with fright, and he patted his chest with lingering fear: Thank goodness! He and his sister came! Otherwise…
Then, thinking of the several traps he had cleared out in the middle of the night, his expression turned even more grim.
Qin Yingxue calmly withdrew her disruptive hand, concealing her merit and fame.
