Don't panic in a famine, I live in the mountains with my golden finger

The good sweet potatoes were either bitten by one or another, and some were stepped on and broken into pieces. The same was true for the peanuts. The millet that was drying on the bamboo mat was mixed with a lot of sweet potato crumbs, some peanut shells, and some soil, and it was all over the ground.

"Clean it up thoroughly." The women who were brought here by Aunt Li to help are all well-known and will not do any other tricks behind the scenes.

Arriving at the backyard vegetable garden, even Lin, who was not usually very angry, was upset. It was even worse here than in the backyard. The vegetable seedlings in the vegetable garden were almost uprooted, and many were trampled to pieces. The leaves of the well-grown wild onions were broken into several sections, and the roots of several pepper seedlings were trampled and broken, with small fruits hanging on them. The peppers that were still growing longer were not picked in time, and now they were lying in the mud. Fortunately, there were still a few pepper seedlings that escaped the disaster, which was the only consolation.

The worst thing was the sweet potatoes. It seemed that the wild boar was going for the sweet potatoes. There was also an empty piece of land, which should be peanuts. Fortunately, they were pulled out in time.

Aunt Li brought a lot of fruits and a group of women to help clean up in the backyard. Uncle Wang and Uncle Liu brought Xu Zhi and three or four villagers to clean up in the yard.

After a while, everything was almost cleaned up, and it looked much better than when I first came in.

"It's such a pity for all the food. There wasn't much food to begin with, and now it's all going to be wasted." Uncle Liu felt very sad watching from the side.

"That's right, but it's very strange. Why are there wild boars? We have lived here for so long, but we have never seen any wild beasts visiting, let alone small animals. This is the first time." A villager nearby was very puzzled.

"I think he saw that we were growing crops here, so he just came here directly. I wish the girl's home was near the top of the mountain, so he just happened to meet her and came here by accident."

"It seems that we need to build a protective fence near the mountain. This may help reduce some losses."

"This is indeed a good idea. We still have to be careful when living here."

"We've almost finished cleaning up, let's go back first." Aunt Li came out from the vegetable garden, and five or six women came out from behind.

After all, there are elderly and children at home. If I am gone for such a long time, I should keep them stable and not let them worry.

"Yes, yes, you old men should go back as well. Lao Liu and I will just keep an eye on it here."

"Okay, let's go back first."

Several people said goodbye to each other and left the courtyard.

Guozi asked curiously, "Grandpa Wang, Grandpa Liu, do you think the wild boar will come back?"

"It's hard to say. We still have to be careful these few days. Fortunately, there was only one. If there were more, it would be scary."

The forest in the mountains was very deep at this time, and the ground could still be seen faintly. The red glow in the sky had slowly faded away.

The paths here are overgrown with weeds and full of mosquitoes. Dry branches are scattered everywhere, and the branches are drooping and covered with vines, making it difficult to walk.

Xu Yuan chased the wild boar after many setbacks and finally caught it. It was bad luck for the boar as it was stabbed with an anesthetic and then fell into a trap set by someone. It was a perfect opportunity as it let out a scream and then became silent.

I was about to catch it in the vegetable garden, but I didn't expect that the beast had sharp ears and spotted me. Without saying a word, it ran straight up the mountain. Its bulky body did not affect its four fast-running hooves at all, and I almost couldn't react.

Seeing such good crops and vegetable gardens in such a terrible state and letting them run away, Xu Yuan couldn't bear it.

Just chase the wild boar, exchange for anesthetics, and find an opportunity to kill it.

The anesthetic will disappear as soon as it pierces a solid object, so there is no need to worry about exposing himself when making a wish.

As he chased, he didn't know where he was. He stopped at the place where the wild boar fell and rested for a while.

I looked around. The surrounding trees were dense, blocking out some of the light. I came in a hurry and only had a tinder with me. The mosquito repellent bag had fallen somewhere during the chase. No one had been to this place before. These were all traces of me chasing the wild boar. If someone came looking for me, they would be able to find me soon by following these traces. I would just wait here.

Anyway, I don't know how deep the pit is, so why bother myself?

I didn't feel it when I was running just now, but now that I stopped, the exposed skin felt a little itchy. I scratched it with Xuyuan, lit a fire stick, picked some grass leaves next to me, rubbed them, and applied them to the bite.

I picked up some dry branches and dead grass, cleaned the ground, and started a fire.

“Gugugugugu…”

“Gugugugugu…”

Suddenly, there were a few bird calls in the woods, which sounded very much like the crows, and sounded creepy.

"Wish, wish, where are you?"

"Make a wish..."

Gu Qinghan followed the trail, bending down to avoid the branches, shouting as he did so.

"Make a wish, make a wish, where you are, where you are."

"Ok?"

Gu Qinghan stopped walking forward and looked around, but couldn't figure out who made the sound. It was very strange, it didn't sound like it was made by a human.

I was a little alert and held a wooden stick for defense.

"who are you?"

"Who are you, who are you?"

The voice asked back.

"come out!"

"I don't have time to play hide-and-seek with you."

"Hide and seek, hide and seek."

Gu Qinghan looked carefully, walked towards the location where the sound came from, and knocked it with a stick.

"Puch"

“Puff…”

“Gugugugugu…”

A rustling sound came from the grass, and soon there was the sound of flapping wings. It took off slowly for a while, then fell directly to the ground and fainted.

"It turns out to be a talking thrush. Interesting, and really rare." Gu Qinghan picked it up from the ground, checked the wound, took out some medicine powder from his arms, sprinkled it on the wound, tore a piece of cloth from his sleeve, and bandaged it.

Fortunately, I didn't kill it, I only injured one of its wings. I pulled off a vine, made a simple cage, hung it on a stick, and continued to follow the trail.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, I could vaguely see a fire.

found it!

Gu Qinghan quickened his pace and ran towards the location where the fire was lit.

"Make a wish."

I was slapping the rampant mosquitoes at my feet when I suddenly heard a voice behind me and turned around.

"Gu Qinghan, you're here."

Xuyuan didn't expect it to come so soon. "Thank you, sorry to bother you again."

I looked behind Gu Qinghan and there was only this person.

"Are you coming alone?"

Gu Qinghan shook his head and walked forward, "Still behind, not so fast."
