The White-Bone Demon of the Farm is as rich as a country

Standing in front of the thatched cottage at the end of the village, Chu Ning'an finally realized that what Meng Ruyue said about my family being poor was just what it said literally, and that they were truly poor.

Because the wood and thatch were prepared yesterday, Zhang Erqiang and Ma Xiaoliu came early today to tie the straw bales. After a whole morning, they were almost done. In the afternoon, they just had to tie the straw bales into straw mats and spread them on the wooden frames.

The two children and Zhang and Ma were all curious when they saw Meng Ruyue coming back with a young man with a bruised face.

"Sister, who is this person?" Xiao Ruxue couldn't help but asked out of curiosity.

"He is Brother Chu Ning'an, Dad's savior. Dad asked him to take care of us before he died. He came to the village to look for us and was robbed on the way. I happened to meet him and brought him back." Meng Ruyue explained Chu Ning'an's origins in a concise manner.

"You said that you were asked by Uncle Meng to find the Ru Yue sisters. Do you have any token?" Zhang Erqiang suddenly became suspicious.

"Uncle Meng gave me a green fish bone pendant at that time, saying that Ru Yue and the elders of the Meng family would know the truth when they saw it. However, those robbers not only stole all my belongings, but also took away the token." Chu Ning'an said these words with regret with a hurt face, and Ru Yue believed it was true.

"Does Third Uncle really have a green fish bone pendant?" Zhang Erqiang was still skeptical.

"Yes, my father used that pendant to tease me." Xiao Ruxue answered in a soft and tearful voice.

Zhang Erqiang still looked at Ru Yue with doubt, and only when he saw Ru Yue nodded did his doubts disappear.

"Brother Erqiang, Brother Xiaoliu, you have to hurry up today, otherwise they will have to sleep outdoors at night." Ru Yue said half-jokingly.

"Don't worry, we will definitely finish the job before dark, and the bed will be set up for you." Ma Xiaoliu finally had time to interrupt.

"Then you guys go ahead and get busy. I'll go cook. It's not anything delicious, but it's enough to fill your stomach." As he said that, he got busy.

I took out several large bags of snacks that Mr. Lou had prepared for me, and then I realized that they had also brought me some white flour steamed buns and some braised meat. I thought that these things couldn't be kept in the hot weather, so I might as well entertain these people with this meal, and just make some porridge and stir-fry some vegetables. But the only dishes and chopsticks at home are... Oh, I didn't expect that there would be guests coming so soon. It seems that I need to buy some daily necessities tomorrow.

Ru Yue gave An Ping two cents to borrow three sets of bowls and chopsticks from Meng Jianshan's house and buy two kinds of vegetables. She then mixed white and brown rice together to make porridge.

Meng Jianshan was so determined to befriend Meng Ruyue that he asked his wife to pick two baskets of vegetables and even gave them the money, and asked Anping to take the dishes and chopsticks home. Ruyue didn't say much, but she remembered Meng Jianshan's kindness in her heart.

At lunch, Ru Yue took a bed board as a table, and several people sat on the ground in the shade.

Zhang Erqiang and Ma Xiaoliu were flattered to see meat, white flour steamed buns, and thick white rice mixed with brown rice porridge on the table. This night was too sumptuous. You know, if the villagers were not busy with farm work, they would usually eat two meals a day. Ru Yue's hospitality was a treatment only given to distinguished guests at home.

Chu Ning'an speculated in his heart that Ru Yue's family was so poor that they lived in a thatched hut and didn't even have bowls and chopsticks to eat from, but this poor girl bought a living person like him without blinking an eye, not to mention the food. It seemed that this family was really extraordinary!

Seeing that everyone was slow to pick up their chopsticks, Ru Yue hurriedly said, "Why are you being so polite? Eat quickly. We still have things to do in the afternoon." She casually picked up a piece of meat and put it into Xiao Ruxue's bowl.

Seeing this, several people stopped being polite and started eating with big mouthfuls. However, they were thinking in their hearts that they had to work hard in the afternoon and not eat such a good meal in vain.

After dinner, Zhang Erqiang and his companion did not rest. They took Anping and Ruxue to continue making straw mats, and Chu Ningan also helped.

Seeing that she could not help much, Meng Ruyue asked Chu Ning'an to take care of Anping and Ruxue, and then she took a hatchet, a rope, and a large bamboo basket and went into the mountains.

She had no purpose at all. She just wanted to go to the place where the trap was set. If there were rabbits or pheasants caught in the trap, she would stew some meat soup for her family at night to nourish them. The four people in the family were all at growing age and were severely malnourished. One of them was even covered in wounds. Just thinking about it made her feel powerless. The body is the capital of revolution, and this is an unchanging truth no matter where you are!

There were many wild vegetables in the mountains at this time of year. She walked forward, picking them as she went. The dense shade of the trees made her feel less hot and tiring. When she arrived at the spring, she had already picked half a bamboo basket of vegetables. She thought that if she couldn't finish them, she could dry them and eat them in winter. This time and space was not as abundant as in her previous life when there were out-of-season fruits and vegetables.

When she arrived near the trap, Meng Ruyue placed the bamboo basket and rope by the spring, and approached carefully with a hatchet. There was no sound, but she felt that there was something there. The signal of danger came, and she stopped. The life experience of two lives told her to cherish life and stay away from danger.

Meng Ruyue grabbed her belongings and left the trap. She didn't forget to look back even after walking a long way. Was there anything there? It felt unreal without seeing it with her own eyes. She looked back every three steps, turned around every two. She felt uneasy without seeing it with her own eyes. She shook her head vigorously and quickly ran to the place where the trap was set.

When they were still some distance away, they heard the sound of flapping food. It seemed that there was a harvest. Ru Yue quickened her pace and ran over. There was a rabbit and two pheasants. It was very good. The family would have meat to eat for the next few days.

With Ruxue's last lesson in mind, she was extra careful this time. She untied the prey from the noose, tied it up, and placed it in the space. No one was following her, so she could do whatever she wanted. Yes, with the space in hand, I could roam the world freely! Even if there was a big thing in the trap, why should I be afraid? If there was any danger, I could just enter the space immediately. She found a solution and felt relieved.

She quickly put the noose back in place and hurried towards the trap.

She stared at the trap without blinking, then ran over carefully and quickly, holding the hatchet. She stopped less than ten meters away. The dead branches and firewood that disguised it were gone. It seemed that something had really fallen in. She began to move her feet cautiously, not daring to breathe. Five meters... four meters... three meters...

A huge, black, furry thing nestled in the trap. It was enormous. What was it? Had the Nandila hemp knocked him unconscious? Ru Yue's mind was a mess, a flood of thoughts racing through her. Not only was her hand gripping the hatchet trembling, but her entire body was trembling.

As they got closer, Meng Ruyue finally saw it clearly. "Wild boar!" She couldn't help but scream. "This adult wild boar must weigh 500 to 600 kilograms. If I get hit by it, will I still be alive?"

Seeing this huge creature motionless, she thought it must have been stunned by the Nandina narcotics. She poked it gently with a hatchet, but it didn't move. She watched it quietly for a while, but there was still no movement. Her courage gradually grew, and she poked it a few more times. The back like a mountain of flesh was as hard as iron, but there was still no movement.

In just a few moments, Meng Ruyue's courage was piqued. "Should I go down the trap and put this idiot into my space?" she muttered to herself. "But if such a big thing enters my space, will it destroy everything in it?"

Just as she was hesitating, the wild boar's eyelids moved twice, its nose tightened, and its ears stood up, but its body did not move.

Meng Ruyue watched for a while and made up her mind. She poked the wild boar's back with the hatchet, intending to slide down to see what was going on. Unexpectedly, the wild boar moved at this moment. The sudden force made Meng Ruyue loosen her grip. The hatchet hit the boar's back and fell into the trap. She lost her balance and fell down. At the critical moment of life and death, she didn't even remember to enter the space. She just screamed instinctively. The wild boar was also startled by the sudden voice and stood up suddenly. Its huge body was almost higher than the trap, and it knocked Meng Ruyue out and landed heavily several meters away from the trap.

The sudden fall from a high altitude made Meng Ruyue's internal organs seem to be out of place, and her hands, feet and body were all bruised. The wild boar's grunt seemed to be right next to her ears. She looked up and immediately jumped down. The damn beast was actually climbing up with its front legs on the edge of the trap. As long as it used force with its hind legs, it could jump up at any time. She ignored the pain, forced herself to suppress the fishy and sweet taste in her throat, climbed up and ran back.

At this time, the wild boar also climbed up the trap, paused for a moment, and then rushed towards Meng Ruyue's running figure. The distance was getting closer and closer. Ruyue ran like a snake, but she seemed to still smell the fishy stench exhaled by the wild boar.

Strength can defeat skill. The ancients were right. In the face of absolute strength, all skills are useless. An idea suddenly popped up in Meng Ruyue's mind. Did God just let me come to this time and space to play soy sauce?

The wild boar slammed into Meng Ruyue's back hard. "I'm going to die..." A thought flashed through her mind, and just as the wild boar hit her, she disappeared out of thin air.

The wild boar was also confused. Where was the man? He followed the scent and started looking for him nearby.

Meng Ruyue lay in the space, gasping for breath, her entire chest aching as if it were exploding. "You pig-brained fool, you deserved to be exhausted to death!" She blamed herself so deeply that she wanted to slap herself twice. "Damn curiosity, damn pig-brained fool, damn wild boar..." Surviving this catastrophe seemed like a reasonable thought.

An unknown amount of time passed before Meng Ruyue dragged her aching and tired body towards the spiritual spring step by step. The scratches on her body, which were not serious, were torn into wounds of varying sizes after running, and blood dripped down bit by bit; the fishy and sweet taste in her throat kept surging, and double vision appeared in front of her eyes. It seemed that the fall from a high altitude had indeed caused her serious internal injuries. The desperate run must have made her injuries worse.

A trail of blood flowed behind Ru Yue. She knew that she had to reach the spiritual spring as soon as possible. She held on, held on... Her feet felt so heavy, one step, two steps... Her head felt so dizzy. She stumbled and was tripped by the useless dog-head stone. She spat out a mouthful of blood and fell heavily to the side of the spiritual spring. A drop of blood fell on the dog-head stone.
