But the wild boar struggled too hard, and the other end of the vine was on Chu Xiao's tree. The tree was shaking continuously due to the pulling, and he lost his balance and fell directly from the tree.

Fortunately, he had been in good health recently, so he grabbed one end of the vine to cushion the fall, so he didn't get hit too hard. However, his butt, which landed first, was still very painful.

Yan Zhenshen was still amazed by the sudden big net the previous second, and the next second he saw his husband falling from the tree. He was so anxious that he didn't even think that he was now three or four meters above the ground, and he jumped down directly.

Fortunately, there was a lot of grass in this area and the soil was soft. If he had jumped down rashly in a place full of rocks like he did, even if he didn't get hurt, his soles would not be able to withstand it.

"Husband, how are you?" Yan Zhenshen's legs were a little numb after jumping down, but he didn't take it seriously. He quickly ran to Chu Xiao and picked him up.

Chu Xiao rubbed his butt which was a little sore from the fall, "It's okay, it's okay, I just fell a little, it doesn't hurt that much now."

Yan Zhenshen also helped to rub it, but Chu Xiao blushed as soon as his big hand touched her troubled butt.

After all, he had just seen his brother Shen's hormones overflowing, so it was absolutely impossible to say that he didn't have any thoughts.

But ideas are just ideas. After all, there are dogs and pigs in this place, and there is an unpleasant smell of blood. Even if he is bold and unruly, he can't do this and that.

"Woof woof woof," Dahuang and Dahei saw that the danger was over, and they circled around the wild boar. The sow was still struggling. Dahuang barked twice and then retreated, then barked twice again when he saw there was no threat.

Chu Xiao felt that this hound looked a little cowardly.

There was no way to bring the wild boar back alive. After making sure that the husband was not injured, Yan Zhenshen stabbed the sow between the eyebrows with a machete.

The smell of blood became stronger, and to be honest, the wild boar was a bit smelly. Chu Xiao covered his nose with his hand.

After making sure the sow was dead, he retracted the vine, but he didn't want it anymore as he felt it was tainted with the stench of wild boar.

But he needed more vine seeds, so he had no choice but to force the vines to ripen. After picking the seeds, he put them into the space and took them back to burn as firewood.

As for the two wild boars, Chu Xiao collected them reluctantly. Fortunately, the space was static and they would not be contaminated by dust or leave any smell, otherwise he would never do it.

Yan Zhenshen covered the bloodstains with soil. This place was too close to where he lived, and if the smell of blood attracted other ferocious beasts, it would cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.

After the two returned, they went to the river to clean the wild boar first. Yan Zhenshen boiled water to scald the pig's hair, and then dug out the internal organs to feed the hunting dogs. The pig's head was also cooked directly as dog food. Only the pork was left, which looked a lot more comfortable.

The boar meat of the two wild boars weighed nearly a thousand pounds, which was too much to eat. He could only wait until he returned home. Besides, it was the slack season for farming and the pork could not be sold at a high price. He was not in a hurry to use the money, so Chu Xiao thought it would be better to put it in the space and sell it in autumn and winter.

For the next two days, Chu Xiao continued to run around in the mountains with Yan Zhenshen, but he did not just follow him around to get by. According to the herbal book given by Doctor Hu, he found some more herbs. Now, the more than one acre of wasteland in the east has been almost planted.

At this time, Yan Zhennan also brought a few people up the mountain. The three young men were all around twenty years old.

They walked quickly and arrived just after lunch time. Chu Xiao made some simple noodle dumplings for them, and none of them showed any intention of taking a rest after eating.

Building a wall requires a lot of soil, and there are many rocks on the mountain. If you can't find a suitable place, you will be exhausted if you dig hard.

Fortunately, there was more soil in the bamboo forest, so we didn't find many stones even after digging half a meter deep.

The three guys discussed it and decided to dig the foundation first, and then find suitable stones to fill the foundation tomorrow.

Yan Zhenshen was not idle either, and joined in the work, while Yan Zhennan began his carpentry work. Since there were many people coming up this time, he carried all the tools he needed up with him.

When the sun was setting, Chu Xiao killed a pheasant and stewed it, cut a piece of wild boar meat and fried it with chili peppers, and made some kelp soup. These men did hard labor, so naturally they had to eat better.

When the sun had completely set, the men came into the house chatting and laughing. They were all very happy to see that there was still meat to eat.

Yan Zhennan also brought a jar of wine this time. He opened it and poured a bowl for each person. When he got to Chu Xiao, he hesitated for a moment: "Brother, can you drink it?"

Chu Xiao had never drunk alcohol before, and Chu Xiaoxiao naturally had never drunk it either. He also wanted to try it, so he nodded.

It tasted spicy and bitter after just one bite, and her little face wrinkled unconsciously.

Seeing that he didn't like the taste, Yan Zhenshen poured his wine into his own bowl and let him eat.

Several of the young men were still single and were a little envious, so naturally they couldn't help but make some jokes.

Chu Xiao blushed for once, and it was unclear whether it was because he was shy or because he was a little drunk.

Everyone was very satisfied with the meal. After eating and drinking, the three young men went to the east wing to chat with a little drunkenness.

Yan Zhennan didn't leave because he knew that his elder brother would definitely ask about the situation at home.

"Is the Chu family causing any trouble?"

"Indeed, I came, but I happened to see someone coming to check on the land, and among those people there were a few yamen runners in regular clothes. When they heard that someone was stealing, they went to ask what was going on."

"Li Xiulan dared not say that she was only pretending to be pitiful, but the village chief was annoyed by her and told her everything. As a result, the yamen runners warned Li Xiulan that if she caused trouble again, she would be arrested."

Yan Zhennan naturally had no chance to see this wonderful show. He had to listen to Wang Wu telling him about it. But he felt relieved just by listening to it.

Yan Zhenshen nodded. Since they happened to run into the yamen runners, it seemed that Li Xiulan would be able to keep quiet for a while.

The wall we are going to build this time will be about two meters high, and it will be moved two feet outwards. This way the yard will be bigger and we can dry more mountain products and it won't be too cramped.

By the time the fence was completed and the shed was set up, the frame on Yan Zhennan's side was only half done, so the three young men helped to build the frame. They had a great day of good food and drinks, and to be honest, they were a little reluctant to leave.

However, the three of them were masons, and it was very tiring for them to do delicate work using their physical strength. Yan Zhenshen simply asked them to help reclaim the wasteland, and they were happy to do so as they could get free food and drink.

When Yan Zhennan finally finished his work, they had been in the mountain for eight days, and most of the pheasants and rabbits caught by Yan Zhenshen had been eaten by them.

But looking at the high walls and the three acres of reclaimed land, Chu Xiao felt it was totally worth it.

The work was done, and the few people had no reason to stay on the mountain, so they packed up and prepared to go down the mountain early the next morning. Yan Zhennan marked the way along the way when they went up the mountain, and naturally the four guys didn't need to walk through the snow to escort them.

Before leaving, Yan Zhenshen gave each person 150 cents as wages, and naturally did not leave Yan Zhennan out.

Normally, a plasterer would be paid twenty cents a day, and a carpenter would naturally be paid better since it was a craft. But Yan Zhennan was his own brother, so there was no need to calculate it so clearly.

The few people went up the mountain this time thinking they were here to help. They were treated with good wine and meat every day, so they didn't expect to get paid. They were too embarrassed to accept it. But Yan Zhenshen said that he might need them again in the future, and they couldn't just not pay them every time.

These people accepted it with embarrassment and promised that they would be there whenever the eldest brother needed them.
