"Quick, quick, quick!" Xia Qiu ran over quickly, ruthlessly uprooting the fungi, and said proudly, "I just told you to carry a bigger basket. It will come in handy now."
"Yes, yes, yes." Su Qingyun also knelt down and picked something into his little basket.
Suddenly, she stopped and asked Xia Qiu, "Qiu Qiu, did you hear anything?"
"What?" Xia Qiu said without raising her head.
Su Qingyun frowned and tried to prick up his ears. The crisp chirping of birds was mixed with some rustling sounds. It was the sound of something brushing through the weeds and stepping on the ground. It seemed like something was approaching. Su Qingyun's whole body tensed up instantly. , vigilance was raised to the highest level.
"Qiuqiu, stop picking it up and leave."
"What?"
Xia Qiu was pulled up by Su Qingyun for no apparent reason. Just as he was about to say something, Su Qingyun covered his mouth.
"Hmm..." Xia Qiu was dragged aside by Su Qingyun and hid behind a thick vine.
"What's wrong?" Looking at Su Qingyun's solemn expression, Xia Qiu asked in a breathy voice.
Su Qingyun raised her index finger to her mouth, "Shh."
The two squatted motionless in the grass. Su Qingyun's eyes were alert and staring ahead. Xia Qiu finally felt something was wrong, and she also held her breath.
The two of them were staring straight ahead, breathing softly. The rustling sound was getting louder and closer, and their hearts were almost in their throats. What on earth was it?
As the sound amplified, a smell seemed to be permeated in the air. Su Qingyun sniffed hard and widened his eyes. The smell of rust, this is the smell of blood!
She silently took out a sharp sickle from the basket. Xia Qiu's eyes widened instantly. How could she step on a mushroom and still have the sickle?
"Be prepared." Su Qingyun mouthed.
Xia Qiu understood the shape of her mouth, "..." This kind of preparedness is really amazing.
Su Qingyun held the sickle tightly, and Xia Qiu huddled nervously beside her. Soon, the two of them saw what was coming.
A huge black figure was panting and walking towards them. The direction it came from was the direction where they had just picked mushrooms. It was dragging a hind leg and seemed to be injured. It was not walking fast, and the smell of blood was even stronger.
Su Qingyun and Xia Qiu looked at each other, and both saw the incredible look in the other's eyes. It turned out to be a black pig! Still an injured black pig!
Seeing that its legs were still bleeding and there was blood on the pig's face, it was obvious that it had just experienced a fierce fight and was extremely tired.
Su Qingyun's heart skipped a beat, not because of fear, but because she was excited. A strong black pig weighed several hundred kilograms. She wasn't sure she could take it down, but with such an injured black pig in front of her, she couldn't take advantage of it. The disease will kill him, so what are he waiting for?
Xia Qiu seemed to see Su Qingyun's intention, her eyes widened in shock, holding her hand and shaking her head wildly, no, no, this is a big wild boar. Although it was injured, it was not something they could provoke, too It's dangerous!
Su Qingyun patted the back of Xia Qiu's hand to tell her to calm down.
The black pig seemed to be tired from walking. He was resting against a tree, panting heavily, and the blood on his legs was still flowing. Su Qingyun took a closer look and found that its abdomen also seemed to be injured. The wound was not big, but It seemed to be quite deep, like a wound caused by something being inserted straight into it.
Su Qingyun became more and more excited. The black pig was injured so badly, so she was even more sure.
She calmed down and told Xia Qiu to stay where she was and don't move.
"Don't!" Xia Qiu didn't dare to make a sound at all. She could only watch as Su Qingyun moved slowly, step by step, and almost without making a sound, walked around to the back of the tree where the black pig was leaning.
She held up the scythe and approached cautiously, waiting for the most suitable opportunity to strike. She was already very close to the black pig, and as long as it turned its head, it would be able to spot her.
Xia Qiu had already covered her mouth in fear, fearing that she might accidentally scream.
She could only watch stupidly as Su Qingyun raised the sickle to the black pig's head. As he was getting closer, the black pig seemed to feel something and immediately turned his head.
At this moment, Su Qingyun didn't blink, and swung the sharp sickle down, and directly wiped the black pig's neck quickly and accurately. Wild black pigs have rough skin and thick flesh. Su Qingyun was well prepared and used a lot of strength. , the black pig didn't react at all when the knife went down. The artery on the neck was cut, and blood spurted out and spattered.
The black pig barely struggled before dying. It weighed two to three hundred kilograms and fell to the ground with a muffled sound.
Xia Qiu stared blankly at this scene, she was completely dumbfounded. She looked at Su Qingyun's expression with inexplicable awe. Although she knew that she had dealt with more than a dozen of those gangsters last time, it was different this time! This time she saw with her own eyes that Su Qingyun cut the throat of a big black pig with a sickle. How could Qingyun be so courageous!
This bloody and exciting scene made her dizzy, and it took her a long time to recover.
"Qiuqiu, why are you standing still? Come here quickly." Su Qingyun called back Xia Qiu's consciousness.
She walked over with trembling legs that were as soft as noodles.
Looking at the big black pig that smelled of blood, Xia Qiu almost felt sick. She covered her nose and asked, "How are we going to do it?" How could the two girls get rid of such a big black pig?
She glanced at her backpack, which was half filled with mushrooms, and worried, "I can't even fit them in my backpack."
"How about we go back and call someone?" Xia Qiu suggested.
Su Qingyun did not answer her question. She stood up, looked around, and suddenly walked in the direction of the black pig.
"Hey, Qingyun, where are you going?" Xia Qiu quickly followed her footsteps.
Su Qingyun walked in the direction of the black pig. It was not difficult to identify where it came from because there were traces of its blood dripping along the way.
"Qingyun, what are you looking for?" Xia Qiu asked, following her.
Su Qingyun looked around, "Do you think the black pig was injured for no reason? He must have just experienced a fierce fight to be so seriously injured. There must be the corpses of other animals nearby."
"And based on the extent of his injuries, he shouldn't have gone very far. Another animal should be nearby. If we look for it, we won't be able to find more than just the black pig."
After hearing what she said, Xia Qiu's eyes brightened, "Really?"
"Yeah." Su Qingyun nodded.
Sure enough, the two of them didn't walk long before they saw a white figure on the ground in the distance.
"Over there!" The two of them ran over quickly.
As they got closer, the two of them saw clearly the true identity of the white figure. It turned out to be a wild white goat! The white fur was covered with coagulated blood, and the hair was tangled into a ball. He was lying on the ground silently, obviously he had been dead for a long time.
Su Qingyun shouted excitedly: "Big harvest, big harvest!"
Xia Qiu no longer had any disgusting thoughts. She rubbed her hands excitedly, "Great, great!"
A big black pig and a goat! The snipe and the clam fight, and the fisherman gains. They really got lucky today!
Su Qingyun looked at it carefully. No wonder the black pig's wound was a big hole. It turned out to be the goat's horn. There was still blood on the goat's horn. Fortunately, the black pig was better, otherwise I wouldn't know who it was. Who wins? But now, this big black pig and goat belong to both of them!
After the two of them got excited, they quickly calmed down. How on earth could they get back such a big pair? The two of them were worried for a moment.
Su Qingyun thought for a while, "Let's drag this goat over first."
"Yes, yes." Xia Qiu patted her head, "My backpack is still over there. Walk around and don't let others pick it up. There's also that big black pig."
Speaking of the big black pig, Xia Qiu's mouth is watering. She has only eaten meat from farmed pigs, but not black pork. According to her mother, this wild black pork is the most fragrant, fragrant and delicious. It was chewy. Although she had never eaten it, she was greedy just thinking about the taste.
Su Qingyun was helpless, "Who else will come here besides the two of us?"
Although the mountain is not deep, there have been big bugs in the past. It is unclear whether they are still there now, so no one in the village dares to go up there. Only the two of them are brave enough to run up there. But if they don't come today, they will still be there. If you can't get such a big harvest, you really can't catch the tiger's cubs if you don't enter the tiger's den.
The goat was estimated to weigh a hundred pounds. Although Su Qingyun could get it away by herself, she didn't want to get her clothes dirty, so she and Xia Qiu dragged it aside to where the wild boar was. The two animals were placed together. The smiles on their faces became more and more obvious.
Su Qingyun thought for a moment and said to Xia Qiu: "Qiuqiu, what do you think of these big black pigs and goats? Are you going down the mountain and asking the villagers to get them?"
Xia Qiu was stunned and rolled his eyes, "What do you call a villager? Of course what the two of us found belongs to our two families. I am not that sacrificial for myself and others."
It’s okay to dig some wild vegetables and find some mushrooms and take them back yourself, but for prey like this, which contains hundreds of kilograms of meat, it belongs to the village if it’s found. It doesn’t belong to anyone who finds it.
Xia Qiu prides herself on not being a selfish person, but she doesn't have the sense to share the meat she gets.
Su Qingyun smiled and blinked, "I think so too."
Xia Qiu breathed a sigh of relief, "I thought you were going to leave."
"I'm not stupid, I killed this pig."
Xia Qiu felt a little embarrassed when she thought about Su Qingyun's throat slit just now, "Qingyun, I only need a little. I will take it home to taste it, and you can take the rest."
She heard the movement of the wild boar, and it was Su Qingyun who solved it. Even the goat was found by Su Qingyun. She didn't do anything. It was already good to have some white meat.
Su Qingyun waved his hand, "There is no need for us to distinguish so clearly. We have agreed that each of us will have half."
Xia Qiu's face was filled with emotion and she hugged her, "Yunyun, you are so kind to me."
Nowadays, meat costs 70 cents per catty. A hundred catties of pork costs dozens of dollars. Black pork may be even more expensive.
"Okay, okay, let's quickly find something to cover them and hide the smell of blood, in case some other animals are attracted to this mountain." Su Qingyun said, "After hiding it, we can go down the mountain to call them. family."
"Okay." Xia Qiu nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, listening to Su Qingyun in everything.
The two quickly cut some weeds, covered the wild boars and goats tightly, and then carried the baskets on their backs and went down the mountain.
