Reborn amidst natural disaster, my childhood sweetheart and dad help me stock up and win effortlessl

Zhou Tian frowned slightly, and said righteously:

"You can ask them first, but you can't just say you want it directly, that would be a breach of discipline."

When Zhou Tian saw the meat, he involuntarily swallowed; he also longed to eat some.

The most painful thing is seeing something you can't have but not being able to have it.

Shi Ming pursed his lips, his face somewhat nonchalant, but his words were quite serious:

"Of course I know the rules of the military. If they are unwilling, I will not force them."

But the most important question now is, where did those two go?

Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo were nowhere to be seen.

However, they were capable of killing the wild boar, and there were no signs of injury on their part at the scene.

They probably have other plans.

Qin Yu squatted down next to Pudding, seemingly negotiating with her.

"Pudding, can you take us to your master?"

He looked at Pudding with expectant eyes, knowing that Pudding was very intelligent and perceptive.

Pudding's tail swayed slowly, occasionally hitting the ground, but it made no other movements.

Occasionally, it would lazily change its posture.

Shi Ming looked at Pudding with longing in his eyes.

The robust wolfhound has an excellent physique, glossy fur, and a sharp, intelligent look in its eyes.

He approached Pudding, but before he could get close, Pudding turned to look at him.

Pudding had never seen Shi Ming before.

It growled from its throat, warning Shi Ming not to get too close.

Its tail was no longer as graceful as before, and it remained motionless in mid-air.

Shi Ming had raised dogs before and was very familiar with this behavior. This was the dog being on guard; if you touched it, it would bite without hesitation.

Judging from Pudding's clever and quick-witted appearance, it's definitely a good candidate to be a military dog.

Unfortunately, it's not a military dog.

Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo quickly located the spot where the boar had fallen off the cliff, relying on their previous memories.

Jiang Li looked down the cliff and saw a huge black wild boar lying at the bottom.

Looking at the boar's large size and the nearly three-meter-high cliff.

It would be virtually impossible for her and Ye Jingmo to pull the boar up.

Then they'll have no choice but to do the opposite.

"Brother Mo, I'm going down to store the wild boar in my spatial storage."

"Then you can use a rope to pull me up."

Jiang Li blinked and spoke to Ye Jingmo.

Ye Jingmo pursed his lips. If he could, he would prefer to go down, but he didn't have the space.

The person to be sent down must be Jiang Li.

Jiang Li took out a climbing rope and looked at the surrounding plants, wanting to find a sturdier one to tie herself with.

"give it to me."

Ye Jingmo took the climbing rope from Jiang Li and, with his experience, chose a tree.

Jiang Li looked at the tree, which wasn't particularly thick, and asked with some doubt:

"Why not choose the thicker one over there?"

If it were anyone else, Jiang Li would have suspected they wanted her to fall to her death so they could eat the boar meat all by themselves.

Ye Jingmo looked in that direction following Jiang Li's finger, then shook his head:

"That tree is too thick; it would take too much rope to tie it up."

The one I chose, although not the thickest among them, has a very developed root system, making it just as sturdy as that other tree.

Jiang Li nodded upon hearing this and then remained silent.

She used the bottom end of the climbing rope to wrap around her waist and tied a knot.

I tugged hard to make sure the rope wasn't loose.

"Brother Mo, I'm going downstairs."

Jiang Li took a deep breath and began to descend the cliff.

"Be careful."

Ye Jingmo held tightly to the rope, while Jiang Li's feet were parallel and dangling in the air, resting on the cliff face.

She slowly descended to the bottom of the cliff.

The boar's eyes were wide open, giving the impression that it died with its eyes open in disbelief.

Jiang Li ignored him and directly put the boar into her spatial storage.

This wild boar was so reckless, and its current predicament is entirely its own doing; she felt no sympathy for it whatsoever.

After all, sympathizing with the enemy is something only masochists do.

She's not that shameless.

Seeing that Jiang Li had placed the boar in the space, Ye Jingmo began to pull the rope upwards.

Jiang Li finally felt relieved when her feet touched the hard ground.

Being suspended in mid-air was an immense torment for her, who suffers from acrophobia.

However, thinking about the large sum of pork that would come in, Jiang Li couldn't help but feel happy, and her fear of heights was blown away.

Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo also went to find the two wild boars that had fallen on the road.

No matter how small a mosquito is, it's still meat!

Moreover, they need a reason to explain why they are not waiting in the bamboo grove.

Jiang Li was 90% certain that Qin Yue and her companion had asked the captain for help; it was either a patrol team or the army.

Estimating the time, Jiang Li felt they should have already arrived at the bamboo forest.

I saw Pudding standing there and the sow's carcass.

Their absence makes it difficult to explain.

Only the carcasses of these three wild boar pups can provide sufficient evidence.

Pudding refused to lead the way, so Qin Yu had no choice but to walk deeper into the mountains with the army squad.

At the bend in the mountain road, Qin Yu noticed a dazzling light ahead, and he squinted uncomfortably.

Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo also saw the light.

Neither of them knew who they were dealing with, and both were filled with vigilance.

When the two sides met, Qin Yu looked at Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo.

Jiang Li was covered in dirt and blood, looking utterly disheveled.

Ye Jingmo's clothes were stained and dusty, but he was in slightly better condition than Jiang Li.

They were carrying the carcasses of three wild boar pups.

Qin Yu strode forward.

"Are you all alright? It's so good to see you again."

His eyes were still red and swollen, and his voice trembled slightly.

This is completely inconsistent with his previous image as a noble young master.

It's clear that Qin Yu was so anxious that he didn't care about his image anymore.

"You guys really took care of the wild boar, that's impressive."

An abrupt sound interrupted Jiang Li and Qin Yu.

Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo both looked at Shi Ming, who was wearing a military green uniform but had a roguish air about him.

He doesn't look like a soldier at all; he looks more like a street thug.

Then they saw Zhou Tian next to Shi Ming.

Zhou Tian stepped forward and greeted the two of them.

"I heard you encountered a herd of wild boars. I got the news and came with Shi Ming and his team to check the situation and see if there's anything we can do to help."

"Thank you?"

Jiang Li gave Zhou Tian a bright smile. She was very grateful for Zhou Tian's kindness, knowing that Zhou Tian didn't actually need to come out to look for people.

This was not his task.

Hearing that she and Ye Jingmo had encountered a herd of wild boars, Zhou Tian was able to go up the mountain to find them without saying a word, which shows his character.

"Oh right, I forgot to introduce him. This is Shi Ming, a squad leader in the military."

He's a pretty good person. Despite his roguish appearance, he's someone you can rely on.

You can ask him for help if you need anything.

Zhou Tian patted Shi Ming on the shoulder and introduced him to Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo.

Shi Ming observed Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo with great interest; his intuition told him...

These two people harbor a huge secret.

He's just not the type of person who likes to investigate.

There are always some secrets in life that cannot be told.

"It's good that you're all alright. Let's go to the bamboo forest first. We haven't dealt with the wild boar you killed yet."

It's almost dawn; the temperature will rise then, and the meat will spoil quickly.

Shi Ming glanced at the sky; a few rays of white light had already appeared.

Some people quickly arrived at the bamboo forest.

The moment Pudding saw Jiang Li, he immediately stood up, grabbed the rope, and ran over.

The two little wild boars were pulled along, stumbling and trotting to keep up with its pace.

Jiang Li looked at the two little wild boars. It would be a waste to kill them and eat them, but there was nowhere to put them if they weren't killed.

Sigh, Jiang Li had a bit of a headache. This must be the kind of happy trouble she had.

She turned to Qin Yu and asked:

"Would you like to raise a baby wild boar?"

Perfect timing! There are still two live wild boar babies here; one for each of us.

Qin Yu's heart skipped a few seconds; the little wild boar would weigh at least two or three hundred pounds when it grew up.

This is no small sum.

Fantasizing about having over a hundred pounds of flesh, Qin Yu couldn't help but let his Adam's apple bob.

However, he quickly suppressed his excitement.

He knew perfectly well that the wild boar needed to eat, and with the current extreme heat causing plants to wither and die, the mountains would probably be barren of vegetation within a month.

Where will he find food for the little wild boar?

The main problem is that the food he and Qin Yue obtained was not enough to fill their stomachs, let alone raise a small wild boar.

That's a huge mouthful; its appetite is equivalent to that of two adults.

After calming down, Qin Yu shook his head, a wry smile on his face.

“I have no food to feed you.”

Jiang Li nodded in understanding.

"Let's sell these two little wild boars to the authorities, and we'll split the points 50/50."

I can't afford to raise a baby wild boar either.

She looked at Zhou Tian and Shi Ming, "Do you want to keep these two little wild boars?"

Upon hearing Jiang Li's words, Zhou Tian nodded quickly.

They were afraid that the little wild boar they had just caught might accidentally fly away.

"We will definitely buy them, but these two wild boars are still young, and it will cost us to raise them, so the price may not be very high."

But I assure you you won't suffer any losses.

Zhou Tian was a little nervous, worried that Jiang Li would change her mind after hearing his words.

These two baby wild boars will weigh several hundred kilograms when they grow up, which will give the people at the base a change of pace.

However, the problem lies in raising them; they require a lot of food.

This would require a lot of costs, and if the price charged is too high, they will not be able to afford it.

"I trust Captain Zhou's credibility."

Jiang Li's words relieved Zhou Tian, ​​indicating that the deal was done.

The soldiers in Shi Ming's team were very happy, their dark faces revealing their white teeth.

They went back and raised the two wild boar piglets, never expecting they'd get over a hundred pounds to share.

I'd be happy to share ten pounds with them.

They didn't consider at all whether the two little wild boars would have trouble adjusting to life there or refuse to eat.

If we can't keep raising them, we can just kill the wild boar.

Even two ounces of meat is still meat.

Having solved the problem of where the two baby wild boars went, all that remained was to move the mother pig trapped in the burrow.

"Let's work together to lift the sow out."

Shi Ming saw Jiang Li looking somewhat troubled in front of the sow's carcass and immediately spoke up.

Nonsense, Jiang Li just sold them two live wild boar babies without batting an eye. Now he's trying to build a good relationship with them.

If I were to ask to buy a pound or two of wild boar meat later, Jiang Li probably wouldn't refuse.

Shi Ming thought to himself.

He immediately glanced at the soldiers around him, giving them a look that signaled them to be more proactive in helping.

Everyone worked together to pull the sow by her hind legs, trying to pull her out all at once.

It was only the first attempt, and it failed quickly.

Because the sow struggled so hard, it became very firmly stuck in the burrow.

Jiang Li was a little troubled. If no one else was around, she could simply put the sow into her spatial storage.

However, with so many people around, it's impossible to act that way.

Shi Ming: "I think it was because we didn't exert our strength at the same time just now. Let's try again."

"I'll count '1, 2, 3' and then everyone will start to exert themselves."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

The second attempt began quickly.

"123, pull."

123, pull

......"

With this rhythmic exertion, the sow's carcass began to slowly move upwards.

Before long, everyone saw the sow's waist, upper limbs and head.

The moment the sow emerged, everyone fell to the ground due to the force of the impact.

Jiang Li was no exception; she nonchalantly rubbed her sore bottom and immediately stood up.

An undisguised smile spread across his face.

Looking at the sow's carcass, Zhou Tian considered asking Jiang Li and the others to exchange some pork.

Before he could even speak, Jiang Li walked towards him.

"Could you please butcher this wild boar for me?"

Qin Yu and I each got half.

I will donate half of my money to your army.

Slaughtering wild boars is too troublesome, so Jiang Li thought about finding a professional to do it.

Moreover, the army was willing to go up the mountain late at night to search for her and spared no effort to help her move the dead sow.

Jiang Li is not an ungrateful person.

It's hot now, and even if she leaves so much meat on the surface, she can't possibly eat it all.

It would be better to send some to the army as a favor.

Before Zhou Tian could speak, Qin Yu spoke first.

"You killed the wild boar, so there's nothing wrong with not dividing it between me and Qin Yue."

Giving us half is too much; we'd be happy to get even 1/6.

Besides, you just gave me a little wild boar.

Qin Yu refused Jiang Li's method of dividing the wild boar meat and reduced the amount of pork he would receive.

In the past, he would definitely have refused Jiang Li and wouldn't have taken a single piece of wild boar meat.

However, given the current difficult times, and his own selfish motives, he was willing to accept Jiang Li's gift.

Living in the apocalypse is really too difficult.

A bitter taste rose in Qin Yu's mouth.

Jiang Li wanted to say something more, but seeing Qin Yu's determined look, she didn't say anything more.

She was afraid that if she continued talking, Qin Yu wouldn't even take a single piece of meat.

"Okay, let's divide it like this."

Jiang Li agreed to Qin Yu's request.

Qin Yue then looked at Zhou Tian and asked in a consultative tone:

"Can I exchange all the points from that little wild boar for water and salt?"

Meat cannot be stored for more than 12 hours in this kind of weather without refrigeration.

He didn't want the meat to be fed to various microorganisms and insects before he even ate it.

This is precious meat.

So Qin Yu planned to go back and marinate some of the pork with salt, and smoke the rest.

This makes it easy to store.

Qin Yu once again marveled at the ingenuity of his ancestors; otherwise, he wouldn't know how to preserve meat without electricity.
