After fleeing famine, I have thousands of acres of fertile land

Boss Ye was not angry either, and started to explain, "I'm not targeting you, there's no coal on the mountain. It's a gloomy day, and it's going to snow soon, so everyone in the village has gone to the mountain to cut trees."

Liu Bao's face brightened. "Uncle Ye, I was a little anxious just now. It's cold now, and business is booming. If we delay for a day, we will lose a lot of money."

Boss Ye understood this principle, but since it snowed, he couldn’t cut down trees or burn charcoal on the mountain.

There are a few people left in the charcoal kiln now, burning two furnaces of charcoal every day, and they just hope the supply is not cut off.

Liu Bao and his men pulled the charcoal away, and Boss Ye took Ye Qing to the mountain to help.

Ye Qing was small and couldn't help with cutting down trees, so he could only help with collecting branches.

The cut trees are first piled at the edge of the woods and then transported away later.

Ye Qing was cleaning up here. There were few people here, and most of them were on the mountain.

Ye Qing picked up a bundle of branches and walked towards the edge of the woods. He only heard a few "hums".

The sound seemed a little strange in the forest, and Ye Qing felt creepy.

She stopped and listened carefully to the source of the sound. However, no sound came anymore, and Ye Qing thought she was hallucinating.

After walking a few more steps holding the branch, the "humming" sound was heard again, and this time Ye Qing was sure that he had not heard it wrong.

She carefully put down the branch in her arms, picked up the scattered sticks on the ground, and looked for the direction.

After walking past a few trees, Ye Qing quietly stuck his head over and saw a few little pigs digging in the soil.

Ye Qing's eyes were full of surprise, and he turned around and looked around. These little pigs should have followed the big pig, but he didn't know where the big pig had gone.

Ye Qing looked at the little pigs and didn't dare to act rashly, for fear of scaring them and attracting the big pigs. His small body was not strong enough to be hit by the big pigs.

Ye Qing retreated carefully without making any sound. He waited until he was a little further away before running away.

Ye Qing wished he could grow two more legs, for he was afraid that if he ran too slowly, the pig would run away when he called for help.

Ye Dalang watched Ye Qing running wildly on the mountain, and his heart was pounding with fear. His sister had always been a steady person and had never seen Ye Qing so flustered.

"What's wrong with Qingya? What happened to you?" He said as he ran down, holding a hatchet in his hand.

People nearby became alert and started running down with sticks, hoes, and machetes. Some people who stayed behind called the children on the mountain and walked down the mountain along the cleared road.

Ye Qing ran out of breath and waved his hand, "It's nothing, brother, keep your voice down, don't scare the pigs away."

"What pig?" Ye Dalang walked to the back and looked around, but saw nothing.

Ye Qing panted for a while before continuing, "There are a few piglets over there where the firewood is piled. There must be some big pigs nearby."

Ye Dalang was relieved and immediately became interested again. "There are a few. Hurry up and call someone to catch them. We will have a pig-killing meal today."

The people who were following behind arrived and couldn't help but frowned when they saw Ye Dalang's smiling face.

"Why are you two running?"

Ye Dalang turned around and saw his uncle. "Uncle, go over there quickly. Ye Qing found a few piglets. There must be big pigs nearby. Call more people. Catch them alive today and eat pork tonight."

When Uncle Zhou heard that there was a wild boar, he immediately became alert and asked his son to get his bow and arrow.

The other people in Kaoshan Village were suddenly delighted and followed excitedly with hoes and machetes in hand.

It had been a long time since I had a big bite of meat. Every time I bought two pounds of meat, I could eat it for half a month. This time, even if we caught two, the whole village would have a big meal.

Ye Qing led the way with light steps, and only when they reached the place where the firewood was piled did he remind everyone to keep their voices down.

Everyone walked forward slowly, their footsteps light. The humming sound became clearer as they walked, and everyone looked at each other with excitement in their eyes.

When Ye Qing arrived at the place where he saw the wild boar, the little pig was still digging the ground, and there was still no sign of the big pig.

Uncle Zhou made a gesture to the villagers, and they slowly changed their formation, dispersed and walked away, forming a circle and surrounding the wild boar.

With a sudden pounce, Ye Dalang caught a piglet. Ye Qing rushed over and tied up the piglet with the rope in his hand.

The brother and sister then stood up holding the piglet. The piglet groaned and struggled, but the rope was tied so tightly that it could only move in a small range.

The two looked up and saw the remaining three little pigs were frightened and ran off in three directions. The villagers also divided into three teams and chased after them, howling.

The piglet was too small, only about a month old, and was caught in a short time.

Several little pigs were gathered together again, but they were not as leisurely as before and were struggling desperately.

Everyone walked back happily, discussing how to eat the pig. The roasted suckling pig was still very delicious.

The howling of the piglets still attracted their parents, and the three big wild boars ran down frantically. If they were hit like this, they would either die or be injured.

Ye Qing first discovered the wild boar rushing down, and called on everyone to disperse, with several people dealing with one wild boar at a time.

Ye Dalang sent Ye Qing to a very thick tree, and then he was ready to fight with a wooden stick in hand.

The three wild boars split into two groups, one went towards Uncle Zhou, and the other two went to the other side. Ye Qing could see clearly from the tree, so he picked up his slingshot and shot at one of the wild boars.

The wild boar howled in pain and turned to rush towards Ye Qing. "Brother, the wild boar is coming, please be careful."

The people below pulled the rope, hid behind the tree, and waited for the wild boar to come.

The wild boar was extremely angry and rushed over. When it was almost at the rope, the people on both sides who were ready suddenly pulled up the rope.

The wild boar fell to the ground with a roar, and a group of people here seized the opportunity and rushed over.

Some hit the legs, some hit the neck. Ye Qing was still directing from the tree, more than a dozen people surrounded a wild boar, and within a quarter of an hour, the wild boar fell to the ground.

Ye Dalang tied up the wild boar with a rope to prevent it from recovering and hurting people again.

Ye Qing had time to look at the other two teams, which were almost finished. Uncle Zhou was a good hunter, and that team caught the wild boar easily.

The situation on the other side was a bit more troublesome. Someone was knocked to the ground, but he immediately got up by himself. It seemed that the injury was not serious.

A group of people carried three wild boars and walked down the mountain in a proud and heroic manner.

The villagers watched this scene and were instantly excited. "We have pork to eat, so good, so good." The children shouted, jumping and running with the large group to the threshing ground in the middle of the village.

Someone else ran to the Wei family and said, "Boss Wei, take your men to the grain drying ground. The village has killed three wild boars. Kill them and eat the meat."

As soon as Boss Wei got home, he didn't even bother to eat and went to the threshing ground with a butcher knife.
