Chapter 70: Jiaojiao is spoiled by the rough man

"You'd better go home quickly. If you go back late, your family will definitely worry about you."

Xu Yan kept persuading Su Wanwan to go home, holding a hammer tightly in his hand, and following Su Wanwan closely.

He was not worried when he encountered small animals like hares in the mountains, but when he encountered wild boars, he could hardly protect himself, let alone take care of the little girl Su Wanwan.

Wild boars are very aggressive, especially the black-haired ones, which can almost knock people down when they charge into them.

"I told my family when I came out. My father told me to go out for a walk and relax. Besides, when I go back, they will definitely be asleep and won't know what I did."

Su Wanwan was walking and laughing, already looking forward to tonight's hunting trip. How happy it would be if they could return with a full load like they did the past few days.

Looking at the little girl walking in front of him with happy and relaxed steps, Xu Yan silently swallowed the words of advice he wanted to give her. At worst, if she encountered danger, he would just do his best to protect her.

Su Wanwan looked back at him, thinking secretly in her heart.

Now I really don’t know how to discuss with this guy about the two of them joining forces.

If the two of them can be together, one is responsible for finding the location of the game, and the other is responsible for hunting, and then the two of them work together to break down the prey, which is actually quite good.

If they are lucky, it won't be long before both families become rich and no longer have to eat coarse food at home.

"There should be no more game at the location we were at last night. Should we go to the left hill to have a look today?" Su Wanwan came back to her senses and began to discuss hunting for tonight.

"……you sure?"

Xu Yan frowned and spoke slowly. No matter how he thought about it, he felt that Su Wanwan didn't know much about this aspect, but she was still a little smart. He also planned to go to the left hill to take a look tonight.

"Of course." Seeing that Xu Yan did not stop her, Su Wanwan raised her foot and walked to the left.

To Xu Yan's surprise, although Su Wanwan didn't walk very fast, she never complained of being tired, which was very different from her usual pampered appearance.

As they gradually went deeper into the top of Taohua Mountain, a series of bumpy footprints mixed with weeds gradually appeared under their feet.

Xu Yan frowned through the darkness. Just as he was about to speak, Su Wanwan couldn't wait to say, "Look! The weeds on the ground have been trampled. Let's follow the traces and take a look."

Su Wanwan felt excited and observed the flattened weeds. She guessed that they must have been left by a large wild animal. She thought she was lucky tonight and might have encountered a wild boar again.

Xu Yan suddenly reminded Su Wanwan to be careful, because there are all kinds of wild animals on the mountain, what if she is bitten by a poisonous snake. As he spoke, he pulled Su Wanwan behind him and walked in front.

Su Wanwan paused for a moment when she heard Xu Yan's words, and then followed Xu Yan involuntarily. She was always afraid of those slimy creatures, and she felt uncomfortable every time she saw a snake. She always thought those creatures without feet were scary.

Xu Yan told her that there were many poisonous snakes in the mountains and he had been bitten before, but his family had medicine for treatment, which was given to him by his grandfather. The people in the village could not buy anything with work points and food coupons, so most people with hunting skills would choose to go out and find prey by themselves, and it was normal to prepare antidotes.

Su Wanwan listened absentmindedly, her eyes constantly looking around. She suddenly heard the sound of a wild boar and told Xu Yan that there was a wild boar over there. Xu Yan looked over and indeed saw a dark shadow swaying in the bushes in the distance.

Su Wanwan immediately ran over in panic, feeling a little scared, but also afraid that Xu Yan would get there first. She saw that there were indeed wild boars in the bushes, and there were more than one. When the wild boars saw people, they were ready to attack at any time.

Su Wanwan took out the stick she had prepared in advance, took a deep breath, and rushed directly towards the wild boar. She did this just to show Xu Yan. She found an angle blocked by branches, and quickly put the ferocious wild boar into the space. To outsiders, it seemed that Su Wanwan had just approached and knocked down several wild boars.

When Xu Yan ran over, the wild boars in the bushes had already fallen down, completely lifeless. He was stunned for a moment and asked Su Wanwan: "You... just used this broken stick in your hand to knock down all these wild boars?" He couldn't believe it. These wild boars looked like they weighed 200 to 300 kilograms. Even an adult strong man might not be able to knock them down, let alone such a thin girl.

Su Wanwan laughed it off a little awkwardly and said, "Well...it's also possible that these wild boars were scared to death by me." Xu Yan was helpless, thinking that this possibility was unlikely.

The only explanation is that the stick just now hit the vital parts of these pigs, but... this possibility is too small...

Xu Yan’s doubts grew even more serious.

But there was no time to worry about all that now. They were the two of them, a man and a woman, traveling alone in the mountains in the middle of the night. It would be fine if no one was around, but if other people in the village also went up the mountain to hunt and saw them, they would have no way of explaining themselves.

"I'll break down these wild boars first, and have good luck going down the mountain."

Xu Yan said this, and then took out the sharp knife from his waist.

In the darkness of the night, you can vaguely see the blade reflecting the moonlight.

Su Wanwan narrowed her eyes slightly and watched his strong arms wrapped under his shirt moving continuously, and soon the wild boars were lined up in a row.

Xu Yan moved skillfully, bleeding, skinning... all in one go, and his technique was more skilled than any butcher Su Wanwan had ever seen.

His figure blended into the night, and his cold profile revealed his determination and handsomeness.

With Xu Yan's help, the wild boar meat was quickly divided. Except for some of the blood that was deliberately spilled, the rest was put into a bucket in the space.

"Give me the pork first, I'll be responsible for transporting it." Su Wanwan said, taking out a big bag from her pocket and preparing to put the pork away.

"Can you move it by yourself?"

Su Wanwan paused as she was about to pack the bag and laughed dryly: "Ah... I have a way."

If she didn't want to use the hidden space in front of Xu Yan, she wouldn't have gone to so much trouble to pack the pork.

Xu Yan watched Su Wanwan's movements and found it hard to imagine how a thin girl like her could carry all those large bags of pork down the mountain.

Even as a grown man, he had to run two or three times to do it.

"What can you do?"

By the time Su Wanwan carries the pork down the mountain one batch at a time, it would probably be daybreak.

"My brother will come up to find me in a while. When I came out, I told my eldest brother that I would come up to hunt and asked my eldest brother to come up and help me carry the things down."

This shield really works every time, Su Wanwan sighed in her heart.

It has to be said that if these brothers were not at home, she would probably be unable to move forward.

Maybe this is the advantage of having a brother. Although I can feel it when I am at home, it is not so strong.

"Huh? Didn't you just tell them that you were going out for a walk? How come it turned into hunting again?" Xu Yan pursed his thin lips slightly. Through the darkness of the night, even though he had just slaughtered a few wild boars, there was no smell of blood on him.

Su Wanwan was about to make an excuse, but after meeting Xu Yan's icy eyes, she was speechless.

His eyes seemed to see through her...

"I……"

As if seeing through the many secrets that Su Wanwan had hidden from him, Xu Yan did not ask further questions. He turned sideways and pointed at the bucket of pig blood next to the pork:

"Take this clean pig blood away. I'll leave you some pork and I'll sell the rest."

"Ah good……"

She didn't dare stay on the top of the mountain any longer.

Could it be that Xu Yan really saw through her?
