Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

Not right.

The wild boar leader felt something was wrong, but his brain capacity was insufficient and he couldn't figure out why the two-legged beast in front of him reacted so differently from what he had encountered before.

Before he had time to think about it, the two-legged beast rushed to him and knocked the wild boar leader unconscious with just one inconspicuous fist.

At the moment of the crash, the wild boar leader seemed to see his wives and children abandoning him, screaming and running away... Then, everyone noticed the movement on Lin Xiaoyue's side, and both men and women rushed over.

Normally, in the past, if these people saw a wild boar coming down the mountain, they would have screamed and run away. But now, not only the men, but even the women had glares in their eyes, staring fiercely at the running and jumping meat, and rushed forward like wolves and tigers with their weapons raised.

In the blink of an eye, from Lin Xiaoyue who was the only one chasing after the wild boar's wives, concubines and cubs, to a group of people who, except for Old Man Lin who had a disability and could only sit there and chased with eager eyes, like wild horses running wildly and howling after the frightened wild boar that was fleeing in all directions...

It is the sweat of youth being poured out, the desperate people releasing their repressed sorrow. It is the light, the heat, the frantic people chasing after the delicious pork belly…

The cows and mules shivered as they ate grass: ... The two-legged beasts were too scary, and a group of two-legged beasts that were starving and crazy were even scarier. They were just weak and helpless little pitiful creatures, please ignore them and let them quietly serve as a background board or mascot.

Yes, people who are extremely hungry have unleashed unprecedented potential.

A quarter of an hour later, a row of wild boars, one large and four medium and small, were lying in front of everyone. The village chief raised his arm and called out, "Men, what are you waiting for? Sharpen your knives and attack the wild boars."

Get started! Get started!

A group of hungry people, some were digging holes and building stoves, some were collecting wood for the fire, some were fetching water and heating the pot, and some were sharpening knives and slaughtering pigs, all of them were working hard.

Lin Xiaoyue came back after washing her hands and face, and moved Old Man Lin from the water to the shore. Unexpectedly, Old Man Lin was also a talented person. Even though his feet could not move, he sat in the shallow water on the shore, stretched out his hand to pluck some water plants, and weaved a lot of small baskets.

He also touched all the stones around him and took out most of the baskets of clams and sand snails. He also put the big clams that Xiao Si and Xiao Wu had caught in the basket. It was a huge harvest.

Seeing Lin Xiaoyue coming over, Old Man Lin happily pulled his third daughter's hand over and clapped her palms. Several big round beads of different sizes suddenly jumped on them.

This is... Pearl...

Father Lin whispered to Lin Xiaoyue, "This was taken from the big clam that Xiao Si and Xiao Wu fished out. Hehe, Daddy heard people say before that this is a good thing. Some wealthy families also have it in the dowry when they marry off their daughters. It's a treasure to keep at the bottom of the box. Come here, daughter, keep it."

"Gah, no need for dad, just give the clams that Xiao Si and Xiao Wu brought back to Xiao Si and Xiao Wu." Lin Xiaoyue had no interest in pearls. They were neither good to eat nor drink, and were not as good as clam meat. Besides, she could get money herself if she needed it, and she would not be greedy for what Xiao Si and Xiao Wu brought back.

"Oh my, you are a father who only favors you." Father Lin tapped Lin Xiaoyue on the head unhappily. "The fourth and fifth children found it when they opened the clams. They asked me to give it to you. They said that the third sister is the most capable and it will be absolutely safe to keep it with you. They also said that when we find a needle and thread to string them together, there are enough beads here for everyone in our family to wear. It looks beautiful."

Lin Xiaoyue looked constipated. Damn it, she was reminded of the offline space passively. It was so frustrating.

Broken space, no human involvement, disconnected when it was said to be disconnected, @%*&**%￥%￥￥&%

Although she didn't curse out loud, one could tell from the creaking sound of Lin Xiaoyue grinding her back teeth how much she was cursing in her heart, tit tut tut.

But overall, they did not lose money on this trip, but instead made a lot of money.

They picked all kinds of herbs, wild vegetables and mushrooms until their hands were tired, and caught all the pheasants, rabbits and wild boars. Even the pearls were dug out. It was like breaking into God's back garden.

It’s really amazing.

Since it was the little one's gift to the whole family, Lin Xiaoyue kept it for safekeeping.

Even if she didn't have the space to rely on, with her skills she wasn't afraid of these things being snatched away.

As for the agreement that a team of people would share what they found, it was limited to food. Moreover, when each family joined the team, they only handed over their own grain to the "public", and the Lin family never collected a single cent from each family.

Therefore, even if the pearls found by Xiao Si and Xiao Wu were valuable or not, she would not be considered to be hoarding them if she did not share them with others.

After putting away the things, Lin Xiaoyue moved Old Man Lin to the shore and called Miao to take off all the wet clothes on Old Man Lin. She also found a place to wash the clothes and put them on Old Man Lin. Anyway, the weather was dry and hot, so he didn't have to worry about catching a cold. The washed clothes would dry naturally in a short time.

It’s not that they wanted to “save trouble” in this way, but the sandstorm blew away everyone’s belongings, leaving not even a change of clothes. Everyone had only one set of clothes, and if they didn’t put them on after washing, they would be naked.

Lin Xiaoyue sighed. After finishing the meal, the women would probably have to find a secluded place to wash up.

I have to say, without the conditions to wash, we all stink, and no one looks down on anyone else.

But just now the men went to the river to fish, and they cleaned themselves completely. Although they sweated again when they chased and killed the wild boar later, they were much cleaner after a round of washing.

So when the women were making fire and cooking, several men who were close to their wives and children would unconsciously move away again and again when they smelled the odor of their family members.

There is no harm without comparison.

The man was so thick-skinned that his subconscious avoidance reaction was ignored by the women. Anyone with eyes could see such an obvious action.

But they were so hungry that the women were only thinking about how they would use the water here to wash themselves thoroughly after they had eaten.

Well, it's better not to think about it, but once I think about it, I feel itchy everywhere. The women endured the itchiness all over their bodies and quickened their hands.

When Lin Xiaoyue came back, she saw the men disemboweling several wild boars that were dead as hell. A pile of bloody intestines and stomachs lay on the ground nearby, which was a spectacular sight.

Originally, these internal organs could be eaten, but unfortunately, I don’t have any flour on hand, so I can’t clean them thoroughly. They taste a bit weird, so I’d better not.

What's more, there are so many wild boars of different sizes, one large and four medium and small, that we have to worry about not being able to finish them. Without salting, they will go bad in this hot weather after a while.

Instead of eating the good meat, you have to eat the smelly offal. You must be crazy.
