Sisters in the Deep Forest Valley: Many Fun Things

Lin Chunyi and Lin Lanshan packed food, medicine, and large stones in their space, then left the valley carrying baskets, bows and arrows, and tucked hidden arrows into their sleeves.

Tigers, wild boars, bears, and other large wild animals generally have their own territories in the inner area and will not run away to other places.

So the two of them headed out of the deep mountains, intending to hunt in the outer areas.

Lin Lanshan kept looking around the whole way.

"Sister, look, what kind of fruit is that? Can we eat it?" She noticed a tall tree in the distance, covered with green fruit.

Lin Chunyi's eyes followed the direction of her finger, and the fruit looked somewhat familiar.

It's small and green, a little thicker than a thumb.

This is……

Lin Chunyi was overjoyed. Could this be...?

Without saying a word, he pulled his sister to the fruit tree, picked one, broke it open, and took a look.

really!

She held the fruit in her hand and put it in her mouth, while her younger sister nervously grabbed her hand.

"Sister, is this poisonous...?"

Lin Chunyi comforted her, put the fruit in her mouth and sucked it, leaving only a thin layer of skin.

That's right, it's a dog date!

"Lanshan, look at the seeds inside."

"These black seeds look a bit like kiwis, but kiwis aren't this small, and they don't look like this."

"This is a wild kiwi! People who know it call it 'dog date'. It also has another name you've definitely heard."

"what?"

“Some vendors used to bring it back from elsewhere. It was then given a different name, such as… kiwiberry.”

Lin Lanshan remembered.

Kiwiberries, I've seen them in big supermarkets before, they're a bit bigger than this, long and cylindrical green berries. They sell for thirty or forty yuan a pound!

"Sis, this whole tree is full of kiwiberries? Let's hurry up and pick them all! We're going to be rich! We're going to be rich!"

Hey, it was hidden in the bushes, I almost missed it.

Luckily, she had sharp eyes and noticed that among all the trees with green and yellow leaves, only this one bore fruit.

After saying that, he reached out and grabbed a branch to pick one.

"Ptooey, ptooey, wow, why is it so astringent!"

Lin Chunyi pressed down on the half-eaten jujube in her hand; it was as hard as a rock…

"Lin Lanshan, do you eat kiwis and nuts too?"

"Oh dear, I forgot! I thought this fruit was already ripe because it looked bigger than the others."

I took a soft jujube that my sister picked and ate it. It tasted a lot like a kiwi, but it was sweeter!

Lin Chunyi said:

“We picked the ones bigger than a finger and took them back; the hard ones will ripen in a few days.”

The two picked fruit and ate it as they went, putting it into their baskets until they were full.

"Sister, shall we go hunting again?"

The two, thoroughly enjoying their catch, had completely forgotten about their planned hunting trip on the outskirts of town, and hadn't even reached the outskirts yet...

Lin Chunyi glanced at the sky; it was only 9 AM, still early.

"Go, how can we not go! We've come all this way, we should at least take a walk around the outer perimeter before going back."

So they put the jujubes into their spatial storage, keeping a handful for each of them, and ate them as they walked.

The outer woods are not as densely distributed as those in the inner area, and the view is more open.

Most of the time, only small wild animals such as pheasants, rabbits, and roe deer roam this area.

They found a few good spots, made simple rope traps, and then began to carefully search for footprints on the ground.

Every sound they made as they walked startled the birds in the trees, causing them to flutter and fly away in panic.

After searching in the dense forest for almost half an hour, we finally found traces of wild animals on the ground!

The hoof prints resembled both plum blossoms and maple leaves, with the front prints heavier than the back, suggesting the animals were not very large.

Looking at the faint footprints, Lin Lanshan whispered in her sister's ear:

"Sis, these footprints look like wild boar's, what should we do?"

Lin Chunyi frowned deeply and said:

"This is already the outer area, so there shouldn't be any large wild animals here. Let's be careful and check the situation from a distance first. We can't just be scared and go home without even seeing a glimpse of them."

Rushing... right ahead!

"Sis, there seems to be some noise ahead."

Lin Chunyi listened carefully and heard the sound of flowing water ahead, as well as footprints, indicating that a wild animal was drinking water ahead.

The two checked their bows and arrows, hidden arrows, and several large rocks in the space.

Okay, no problem.

Then lower your body and sneak over from behind a big tree.

There was a stream by the meadow in front of the woods, and sure enough, a small wild boar was leisurely drinking water.

Lin Chunyi and her sister looked around carefully, but there was nothing there.

The two looked puzzled.

Wild boars live in groups, so how could they be alone?

Lin Chunyi and her sister began to exchange glances.

Lin Lanshan is conflicted:

What should we do? It seems to be a lone wild boar. Should we attack it?

Lin Chunyi was even more conflicted:

This is our first time hunting... Should we back down? And there's so much meat...

Lin Lanshan began to solidify her resolve:

So, shall we do it?

Lin Chunyi was still a little conflicted:

I'm just worried about what will happen if its calls attract its companions.

Lin Lanshan's eyes searched for a hiding place, her gaze resolute:

If something unexpected happens, we'll immediately climb the tree!

... (Lin Chunyi thought for a moment)

Lin Chunyi agreed, and her eyes gradually hardened:

Okay, we'll make a living from now on, how can we be scared away by a few wild boars!

The two sisters finally revealed the bloodthirsty look that they were determined to draw today:

Okay, let's do it! Fortune favors the bold!

After confirming that there were no other wild boars nearby, the two took out their bows and arrows from behind their backs.

If you were to ask which spot is best to aim at when shooting prey with a bow and arrow, it would definitely be their eyes!

The two men got into position and aimed at the eyes of the wild boar, which had finished drinking and was about to leave.

"Whoosh," "Whoosh"

Lin Chunyi's arrow went astray and pierced the wild boar's face; Lin Lanshan's arrow also went astray and pierced the wild boar's neck.

The wild boar felt the pain and immediately let out a few miserable cries, "Oink~ squeak squeak squeak squeak~", and prepared to run away.

Lin Chunyi whispered:

"Quick, draw the bow, aim at its neck, we can't let it get away."

After saying that, he took out an arrow from his back, drew the bowstring taut again, aimed at the wild boar's neck, and shot it. Lin Lanshan's arrow followed closely behind.

One arrow pierced through his neck, while another pierced his foreleg near his neck.

The wild boar grunted a few times, then collapsed and fell silent.

The two waited behind the tree for about half an incense stick's time. They looked around, but there was no movement.

They came out from behind the tree and walked up to the wild boar.

As usual, I first picked up a large rock from the ground and hit it on the head to prevent it from ambushing me again.

"bang"

It didn't move; it looks like a really dead pig.

Lin Chunyi took out the arrows, Lin Lanshan kicked the wild boar, and asked:

"Sister, what should we do now? Should we handle it here and take it back, or go back first and handle it later?"

If we process it here, the smell of blood might attract other large wild animals if it takes too long.

If we deal with it at home, this wild boar, which weighs over 100 pounds, won't fit into a basket. How are we going to get it back?
