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

"Xuyuan, why are you sitting here? Are you hurt? Where's the wild boar?"

"No, here it is."

My feet felt numb as I squatted to make a wish, so I had to sit directly on the ground.

Gu Qinghan walked to the side of the trap, lit a tinder, and looked down for a moment. The pit was quite deep, and his eyes darkened.

"Make a wish, you are amazing."

"It's just luck. The wild boar accidentally stepped on the trap and fell into it. Gu Qinghan, what are you carrying?" Xu Yuan saw a cage hanging on the wooden stick on Gu Qinghan's shoulder. He couldn't see clearly what was inside and was very curious.

Gu Qinghan walked over to Xuyuan's side and sat down, then took down the cage made of vines.

"I met this on the road. I beat it up because I talked too much. This is a thrush, a talking bird." Gu Qinghan handed it to Xu Yuan.

While making a wish, I could see the general appearance of the bird in the light of the fire. It had black feathers, and the tail feathers and undertail coverts had white tip spots. The beak seemed to be grayish white, and there was a tuft of hair near the top of the beak, which was very interesting, just like hair, and very beautiful.

It turns out to be a mynah bird. No wonder it can talk.

"It can talk. It seems that if we train it well, it can help relieve boredom." Xu Yuan put a few dry branches into the fire.

"Here." Gu Qinghan took out a water bag from his waist and gave it to Xuyuan. Then he took out a paper bag from his arms, which contained half a dry and hard biscuit.

He picked up some dead branches nearby, strung them together, and put them on the fire to heat them up.

"Thanks. I'm a little thirsty." Xu Yuan took the water bag handed to him, opened it, and took a sip directly without looking into the bottle. The sore throat was instantly relieved.

It was completely dark now, with only the firelight in the woods lighting up the sky. The pancake was quickly baked, and Gu Qinghan handed it to Xuyuan.

Xuyuan was not polite at all. He took it directly, blew on it, cut it in two, and gave one piece to the person next to him.

The two of them ate a few bites of bread beside the fire and waited for the villagers to come over.

"Qinghan, Xuyuan, where are you?"

"Gu boy, Yuan girl, hey, there is a fire over there."

It was difficult to walk on the road at night. I stumbled all the way and had to pay attention to my feet at all times, for fear of startling animals that should not be startled. I finally saw hope by following the trail.

"Xuyuan, Gu Qinghan, is that you?" Li Junyong was leading the way and was very excited when he saw the fire in front.

"Yes, come here quickly." Xu Yuan heard a voice behind him and responded quickly.

The torchlight gradually brightened around them, and several figures gradually approached.

"Oh, I finally found you. Are you okay?"

"It's okay, Dad. Let's get the wild boar out as soon as possible." Gu Qinghan stood up and brought Village Chief Gu to the trap.

He gave the stick and the cage containing the bird to Xuyuan and asked her to help hold them.

"Here, let me see how deep it is and how big the wild boar is." Lao Fan came to the edge of the trap with a fire starter.

The pit was about two meters deep, and the width of the hole was about the same as the wild boar's body. The wild boar lying underneath was about 200 pounds, with a wound on its neck. The bottom of the pit was full of rotten leaves and weeds, and it was very damp.

"Come on, tie it up and throw it down. Come on, a few people, help lift it up and tie it up." The villagers at the back brought hemp ropes, which came in handy at this moment.

Four villagers got down into the pit one after another, and the villagers above stood in a corner, holding up their backs to watch.

Soon, the villagers above began to exert their strength, like a tug-of-war, and finally pulled the wild boar out of the hole. The villagers were so tired that they sat on the ground to rest. "Gu Xiaozi and Xu Yuan are really good. They can handle such a big wild boar."

"It wasn't me. The wild boar was already in the pit when I arrived." Gu Qinghan retorted softly.

"Xu Yuan is so powerful." Lao Fan looked at Xu Yuan's small arms and legs. He heard that he was very strong, but he didn't expect that he was so big and could take on a wild boar by himself.

"Yuan girl, you are not hurt, are you?" Village Chief Gu thought that the two of them had solved the problem together. With his son around, there would not be any big problem.

I didn't expect that the girl who made a wish solved it herself.

"Haha, it was pure luck. I stabbed it and it just happened to fall into this trap." Xu Yuan told the truth that it was pure luck. Fortunately, he threw the boar at the right time and let the wild boar find the way, otherwise he might have fallen into the pit.

Gu Qinghan and a few young men cut down some thick branches, made them into racks of suitable size, and carried them to a place to prevent wild boars.

"Everyone, help us lift this wild boar onto the rack. Let's tie it up with ropes and carry it down the mountain. It's not easy to stay on the mountain for a long time. I've got several big bites on my forehead." Old Fan waved his hand and directed the villagers.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry. I agree with Lao Fan. Let's fight quickly and get down the mountain quickly."

"Come on, a few people grab the front, and a few people grab the back, and carry it up and walk. One, two, release it. Good." The villagers at the back gave instructions, and soon the wild boar was put on the rack.

Several villagers discussed which people would carry the load and which ones would take over in the middle. Some people in front would light a tinder to lead the way, while others would light a tinder to follow. Gu Qinghan and Xu Yuan followed behind.

The campfire in the woods was extinguished by Xuyuan and covered tightly with soil. When the night wind blew through the mountains, everyone who had left the warm campfire felt a little cool in an instant. Their pace quickened a lot. They knew the way after having walked there once, so the return journey was smooth.

Soon, the villagers carrying the wild boar came to Xu Yuan's house, along the path near the vegetable garden on the mountainside.

"I'm back, I'm back. I hope the girl isn't hurt, right?"

After going down the path, we saw Uncle Wang and Uncle Liu. Xu Zhi and his two younger brothers were guarding the wooden door in the backyard. They were very happy to see everyone come back.

"It's okay, everyone is back safely." Village Chief Gu said happily.

"Grandpa Wang and Grandpa Liu, look, the damn wild boar has also been caught."

"My eldest sister is back too."

Many saw the big figure on the villager's shoulders, and then saw the figure of their own eldest sister, and said happily.

When Xuyuan saw that the vegetable garden had been completely renovated, he finally felt relaxed.

"Village chief, why don't you carry this wild boar to your home so that the villagers can taste what wild boar meat tastes like."

Seeing that the villagers came up the mountain to find me so late at night, I knew that something happened at home and they all came to help carry the wild boar down the mountain. They had contributed some effort, so I couldn't let their help be in vain.

"How can I do that? It would be great if I could sell the wild boar and put the money in my pocket. Then I can give a penny to everyone who comes to help me."

Uncle Wang was the first to disagree, and hurried over to persuade her to make a wish. "Girl, listen to the old man, and when the time comes, give some silver to the people who come to help you. No one will say anything."

"Ah? That's not impossible." When Xu Yuan heard Uncle Wang say this and everyone agreed, he didn't say anything. The main reason was that he wanted to try what wild boar meat tasted like, but he was too lazy to do it. It seemed that he had to do it himself.

"Okay, everyone, go away. Thank you for your hard work. Come to my house before sunset tomorrow and I will distribute the rewards to everyone."

"Okay, let's go. It's so late at night, my family will be worried."

Everyone left one after another, and the bustling and brightly lit courtyard suddenly became much quieter.

"Qinghan, Xuyuan, we'll go back first." Li Junyong and several other young guys from the same village and classmates also said goodbye to everyone and left the courtyard together.

"Qinghan, I'll have to take a look at your talking bird after it recovers." Li Junyong approached Gu Qinghan and said slyly, but before Gu Qinghan could make the next move, he dodged, waved his hand, and left with a smile.

Gu Qinghan was speechless.

"Girl, you need to build a fence around your vegetable garden near the mountain. It will be safer this way. You fenced off the whole house, but why did you neglect this part?"

"You are too busy. I will ask Qinghan to come over and give you a hand tomorrow."

"Qinghan, did you hear me? What's in the cage hanging on your stick?"

Apart from making a wish, the rest of the people were very curious.

"I accidentally injured a little bird, and I brought it back to heal it."
