    Maybe it¡¯s because this season, the weather is good, the plants are growing like crazy, and there¡¯s so much food outside, or maybe it¡¯s because everyone is pretty lucky.  The next evening, Xinhu and his party encountered a group of wild boars.  The two sides were not too far apart. Everyone saw the wild boars drinking water by the river. The afterglow of the setting sun fell on the wild boars and even reflected light. It was obvious that the wild boars were very strong.

    Xie Sanbo stopped and signaled everyone to be careful.  Everyone immediately became nervous. He drew his bow and fired a few arrows. The fattest wild boar fell to the ground injured and let out a miserable howl. It frightened its companions and made them run around in panic.  This caused the birds that were returning to their nests to scream and fly around.  The whole mountain and wilderness suddenly fell into chaos.

    Everyone was condescending, excited and nervous.  Having obtained a big wild boar, Xie Sanbo was in a very good mood and said, "Ah Hu, come and try it."

    Xinhu took the bow and arrow without hesitation, selected the target, and shot the arrow but it passed by the wild boar. She sighed in disappointment and quickly continued to draw the bow.  At the same time, Dalang opened his small bow and aimed at Xinhu's target. The bamboo arrow flew out with a "swish" sound, but hit the target with one arrow.

    "That's great." Dalang praised himself in his heart.

    However, his bow was small and his arrows were only bamboo arrows. Although the wild boar was injured, it was not serious. It only paused briefly and continued howling and running. However, Xinhu saw this opportunity and shot two more shots in succession.  The arrows all hit the target.  The wild boar, hit by three arrows, finally couldn't hold on anymore and fell to the ground.

    "Not bad, not bad." Xie Sanbo praised repeatedly.

    Dalang¡¯s accuracy in hitting the target is obviously better than that of Xinhu, but Xinhu is stronger and can draw a big bow. It is also difficult for Dalang to subdue a big wild boar with a thick skin just by relying on Dalang¡¯s small bow and bamboo arrows.

    Ashin and Azhi flushed with excitement, but at the same time it was a pity that they did not have the bows and arrows in hand.  They can't draw the big bow yet, and Dalang's small bow is too small for them. The two of them can usually use it for practice, but they can't really use it for hunting.  Therefore, they could only watch everyone do it dryly, imagining how powerful they would be next time.

    On the way, Dalang had already shot several wild rabbits, and now he helped shoot a big wild boar, and he was in a very good mood.  He believed that as long as he practiced regularly, one day he would be able to pull a big bow, and then there would be no need for the little girl Xinhu to take action.

    After getting two wild boars, Xie Sanbo looked at the still alive wild boars and said, "Dalang, should we go to Cuizhu Village? Or go directly to the market?"

    "Let's go to Cuizhu Village first and have a look." Dalang replied. They are only familiar with Cuizhu Village at the moment. If they can't exchange things there and then go to the market to sell wild boars, they don't know if they can get anything this time.  Such good luck, the wild boar was soon taken away.

    " Two wild boars were still a bit much for them. They didn't need so much meat at one time without three strong men to eat. Moreover, they also got a few wild rabbits, and they could still get wild rabbits along the way.  Even if you finish eating, you still have to get some food and other things.

    The two stones of thick noodles that were exchanged for a wild boar have already been eaten.  The most important thing is that they also plan to get some seeds that can still be planted. Now that there is plenty of land, the more you plant, the more you can harvest.  Moreover, Uncle Xie also wanted to get some hens and eggs that were laying eggs to replenish Sister Xie's health.  In addition, we need to get some bamboo utensils back.  For example, bamboo mats, steamers, chairs, bamboo bowls, cups, and even old bamboo are all required.  Summer is coming soon, so it¡¯s time to prepare some things.

    As a result, when they arrived at Cuizhu Village, they found that there was a low and depressing atmosphere in the village. Even the children who usually had fun were cautious, as if something bad had happened.  However, everyone still smiled when they saw the two wild boars they were carrying.

    "What's going on? Village chief." Xie Sanbo asked.

    "Hey, don't mention it. The caravan came here a few days ago, and there were a lot of people here, but not only did they give low prices, they were also picky. We reluctantly sold some things to them. That is, we exchanged two  Rise thick noodles." The village chief sighed as he spoke.

    Although people who come to collect bamboo utensils are becoming more and more ruthless, this is the first time such a practice has been done this year.  The caravan actually stopped giving big money and silver, and just took coarse grains in exchange.  Originally, it was fine to exchange grain for it. We had done this transaction before.  At that time, when the relationship between the two parties was good, the caravan often brought some rare things that everyone could buy in exchange for bamboo utensils.

    But this time, the coarse grains they brought were all finished goods, and the quality was not good at all. They didn¡¯t know where they came from, and they couldn¡¯t sell the grains at all.  Now, everyone was unhappy.  However, this is the kind of food they brought with them., and even discussing business with them.

    "Then what are we going to do?" Xin Hu asked Dalang quietly.

    She didn¡¯t want to go out and have to wander around this poor little village.  And she could clearly see that there would definitely be no food for them in Cuizhu Village. Even if a wild boar could be exchanged for a lot of bamboo utensils, what's the use?  First, they can¡¯t carry much.  Second, what they lack most is food.  Third, if the situation continues to deteriorate, they will no longer be able to buy food.

    In the end, Dalang asked the village chief to help them carry a wild boar to other villages to exchange for things, and the remaining one was exchanged in the village.  The village chief promised to let everyone choose the bamboo utensils.

    "Village chief, my third uncle and my two brothers are following your villagers to exchange things in other villages. Can you accompany us to the market? I can call you your son." Dalang said.

    "Are you going to buy food?" the village chief asked knowingly.

    "Yes. You only talked about interrogating outsiders. You are both locals, and you have two children, so no one should care about them. If I really asked, you said they are from your village, or are relatives."  Xie Sanbo immediately understood what Dalang meant.  If you don't go and see for yourself, how can you confirm whether what the village chief said is true?  Besides, after coming here, I have to get some food back.

    The village chief thought about it, but he readily agreed. He also wanted to have a good relationship with everyone. Among other things, a wild boar could make the people in the village addicted to meat. A few pieces of meat could be cooked with wild vegetables, and the taste would be better than that of light.  It is much better to cook wild vegetables.  Everyone should put some oil in their stomachs so that they can endure longer. After all, it¡¯s still early for the autumn harvest.  And as the caravan said, if the bamboo ware cannot be sold, it will rot at home. Now that Xie¡¯s family is willing to take it, it¡¯s already pretty good.

    Xie Sanbo, Ashin and Azhi carried a wild boar and followed two sharp-tongued and proficient villagers from nearby villages sent by the village chief to lead the three of them away.  Naturally, you can still get some things in the nearby villages.  There may be no hope for food, but there are still some chickens and eggs.

    Dalang only took three taels of silver, one tael was given by Aunt Zhang, one tael was given by Uncle Xie, and he took one tael himself.  Because last time I found that things in the market were cheaper.  It's not good to bring too much money, and he only plans to buy two stones of food back.  After all, there were only two horses, so they couldn't carry much.

    The village chief also brought a strong man named Ah Qing with him, saying he was going to help them pick things back.  Because he himself is not that strong, Dalang and Ahu are just two children, and it is impossible for them to carry it on their own.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
