Armed with a machete and a gun, armed with a system, they fled the famine.

Chapter 27 Wild Boar Herd

"boom--"

Liu Guifang ran home in a flash and bolted the door shut.

Although Yang Zhangshi was fat, she hadn't done farm work for over ten years and didn't have much strength.

The gate of Liu Guifang's house is still standing in good condition.

Yang Zhangshi was bounced back a long way by the gate, landing hard on her bottom and feeling a sharp pain in her skin.

She threw down the broom, slapped her thigh, and began to wail in front of Liu Guifang's house.

"My life is so hard! Old Yang passed away early, and it wasn't easy for me to raise my three sons alone. Ah? I finally managed to get my third son a wife, but she beats her mother-in-law. Sanlang, my life is so hard! Come back and see! Your wife is beating her mother-in-law..."

Liu Zhaodi had just put her son to sleep when she heard crying outside the door. She couldn't help but peek out and ask, "Mom, who's outside? Xiaobao just fell asleep."

Liu Zhaodi is Liu Guifang's daughter-in-law. The "Little Bao" she mentioned is actually the posthumous son of Liu Guifang's son, Chen Jinbao, also known as Chen Wa Zi.

Liu Guifang and her husband only had one son, and Chen Wazi was the only bloodline left by their son. The whole family doted on Chen Wazi, who was just over one year old.

Fearing that Yang Zhangshi's wailing would wake her beloved grandson, Liu Guifang gritted her teeth in anger and paced back and forth in the yard, trying to think of a solution.

She caught a glimpse of the basin of water she hadn't had time to empty under the stove while washing vegetables. Her eyes lit up, and she walked over, picked up the wooden basin, and headed towards the door.

"Sanlang, where are you? Your wife beats your mother-in-law, how can you leave in peace? Come back and discipline your wife! Everyone's eager to see us make a fool of ourselves..."

Yang Zhangshi continued to perform her crying act outside the gate.

The wailing attracted many villagers who came to watch the spectacle.

Liu Guifang stood on a wooden ladder, holding a wooden basin, and poured the water from washing vegetables out over the wall.

hula-

"Ugh—that damned bastard! Bah! Bah!"

The wailing suddenly stopped.

Yang Zhangshi suddenly got up from the ground with a few rotten vegetable leaves on her head and two or three still stuck in her mouth, which made the surrounding villagers who were watching the fun burst into laughter.

Yang Zhangshi was furious, her eyes blazing with rage as she glared at Liu Guifang on the earthen wall.

You dare splash me? You just wait.

Liu Guifang bared her teeth at her, her face full of disdain.

"You old hag, don't think I don't know what you're up to. Get out of my house right now! If you keep wailing, I'll tell Sanlang's wife about your wicked scheme!"

snort!

A bad seed is a bad seed!

It's either for money or for other benefits.

If Zhao Yan weren't so stupid, Yang Zhangshi might not be able to control her.

The only solution is to sell them.

Yang Zhangshi felt her heart pounding under her knowing gaze and hurriedly got up from the ground.

"I don't know what nonsense you're spouting."

He snatched his broom back from the old woman and walked home cursing.

Seeing that people had left, Liu Guifang waved to the crowd, "Disperse, disperse."

……

Zhao Yan was naturally unaware of all the mess that had happened to her after she left the Yang family.

Once she reached the top of the mountain, she kept walking and quickly ventured deeper into the mountains.

[Ding! Wild boar herd spotted within 100 meters!]

Just as I climbed up a slope, the system suddenly rang in my ear, the sound much sharper.

Zhao Yan looked tense, her back bent, and she slowly moved closer to the wild boar herd.

Wild boar meat is meat too!

These days, who complains about having too much meat?

A group of ugly, black-haired pigs were gathered on the riverbank in the distance.

Perhaps driven by unbearable thirst, the wild boar plunged its sharp tusks into the cracked riverbed and desperately burrowed its head downwards.

Zhao Yan held her breath and lay down behind a big tree ten meters away, tilting her head to count carefully.

...Thirty-five, thirty-six.

Ha ha.

There were a total of thirty-six wild boars in the riverbed.

Six of them were piglets, while the remaining thirty were all adult wild boars, each weighing at least three or four hundred pounds.

If they both went crazy at the same time...

Tsk tsk.

She couldn't stand it either.

Zhao Yan pinched her chin, thinking about her next move.

It's definitely impossible to take them all away; leaving one or two would be good enough.

The problem now is how she can leave one or two wild boars alive without disturbing the herd.

But before long, without Zhao Yan having to come up with a solution, the wild boar herd resolved the problem internally.

It turns out that these wild boars, just like humans, can also fight amongst themselves.

Two adult wild boars got into a conflict over territory, which then triggered a whole host of other wild boars, including their parents, brothers, and piglets.

The two sides immediately started fighting, and the six piglets were not spared either.

The scene was extremely intense.

Its brutality was no less than that of a racial conflict.

The ground where Zhao Yan was standing was trembling slightly.

A wild boar weighing over 100 pounds is truly something else when it goes berserk.

A sow was being attacked by two adult boars, and in a moment of carelessness, she was knocked away by one of them.

"boom--"

His head slammed straight into the tree where Zhao Yan was standing, instantly sending brains flying and pig's blood splattering everywhere—

vomit--

Zhao Yan covered her nose and swallowed hard, barely managing to suppress the nausea.

It's meat, isn't it?

She quickly bought a one-cubic-meter storage cabinet for five hundred yuan, then reached out from behind the big tree and touched the dead sow.

In the blink of an eye, the sow disappeared from the spot and was placed in the spatial storage cabinet.

Anyone can find a bargain.

Zhao Yan can do it too.

It just looks a bit disgusting.

This had no impact whatsoever on the fierce battle on the other side.

But fighting will result in injuries and deaths, whether it's animals or humans.

Seeing that their team was in dire straits, the defeated side decisively led their remaining comrades and fled.

The defeated wild boars were in no better shape; most of them were injured.

The lead pig grunted and quickly retreated with its companions.

A half-grown wild boar was injured in a fight. Its belly was ripped open by the tusks, revealing its internal organs. It was clear that it was not going to survive.

Zhao Yan didn't mind, and stepped forward to cut its neck with a knife. Once it was completely dead, she put it into her spatial storage cabinet.

The sun is setting.

After washing her hands with bottled water, Zhao Yan returned the way she came.

When she was almost at Tian Xiu'e's house, she looked around to make sure no one was following her before she dared to take the half-grown wild boar out of her storage cabinet and put it in her basket.

Hearing the noise at the door, Tian Xiu'e came to open it.

"came back?"

"Ah."

After Zhao Yan entered the courtyard, Tian Xiu'e closed the gate behind her.

I was about to say, "Let's wash our hands and eat," but I was stunned by what I saw and stood there frozen in place.

"...This is the wild...boar you hunted?"

A half-grown wild boar would weigh around 100 pounds if carried on one's back.

Zhao Yan placed the dead wild boar in a wooden basin under the courtyard wall.

"I shot them. I was lucky today, I ran into a herd of wild boars."

A herd of wild boars?

Startled, Tian Xiu'e immediately began to grope Zhao Yan.

"Oh dear, are you hurt? Quick, quick, let me see if you've bumped anywhere!"
