Time travel has no future, the peasant girl just wants to farm and get rich

Chapter 129 Nothing can be done without Old 5 and Old 6

Su Shiming is a brave and adventurous young man. He was in awe of nature and had a keen interest in wild life.

Seeing that yesterday's trap yielded no results, today, he decided to set up prey traps near other mountainside areas.

The morning sun shone on Su Shiming's face, bringing him a touch of warmth and hope.

He put on his backpack, clenched the shovel in his hand, and prepared to start his journey to trap the prey.

He walked up the path at the foot of the mountain and gradually entered the dense forest.

The air is filled with the fragrance of trees and the chirping of birds.

He likes the feeling of being close to nature, as if he is in a completely different world.

For so many years, the people they hunted did not dare to go deep into the mountains, but only stayed outside halfway up the mountain or at the foot of the mountain, otherwise people would die at any time.

Recently, the family has been penniless, and my father has put all his trust in himself. He knows that late April is the time for the annual boy test for the fifth and sixth children.

So time was tight, and he had to find enough money for them within a month.

Su Shiming came to another mountainside and began to look for a suitable place to lay a trap.

He needed a place that would attract prey but not be so conspicuous that it would disturb other creatures. After some searching, he found a location that seemed suitable.

"This is it."

He took out his shovel and began to dig a deep, solid hole. This is to prevent the prey from easily escaping if it falls into the trap.

Su Shiming devoted himself wholeheartedly to this task. He kept swinging the shovel, earth and rocks splashed, and sweat rolled down.

Setting up traps is not an easy task. Su Shiming needs to take into account many factors, such as the depth, width and location of the trap.

He hopes to capture a wild animal without harming it. This requires him to have certain skills and experience.

After several hours of hard work, Su Shiming finally completed the layout of many traps.

He looked at the pothole in front of him with satisfaction, feeling like a little creator creating an opportunity to capture life. He hopes that through this trap, he can see the wonders of nature with his own eyes.

However, Su Shiming did not leave the mountainside immediately. Instead, he found a hidden place to hide and wait for the arrival of prey. He sat there quietly, listening intently to the sounds in the forest.

Time passed minute by minute, and Su Shiming began to feel anxious. He began to doubt whether his arrangement was reasonable and whether he could attract prey.

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and told himself to be patient.

Just when he was about to give up, a wild boar weighing 70 to 80 pounds limped into the trap.

This turned out to be an injured little wild boar. He must have been abandoned by his family. There was a big wound on his foot and a lot of blood flowed. It stepped into the deep pit without any defense.

When Su Shiming saw this scene, his heart was filled with joy and pride. Instead of killing the little wild boar, he freed it and tied all its limbs.

"Ooooooooo~"

"I know you are pitiful, but our family is even more pitiful. Without you, our family wouldn't have enough money. I'm sorry."

Today’s harvest is not bad! I actually caught a small wild boar. This wild boar was worth a lot of money, but it was still far from the cost of the two younger brothers to take the exam.

He remembered that in previous years, each of the two younger brothers had at least ten taels of silver each, and the two of them together were worth more than thirty taels, so just one road was not worth that much money at all.

Seeing that there was no more prey approaching the trap, he checked the sky and found that noon had passed since he had been struggling for most of the day.

"No wonder my stomach is growling with hunger. It turns out that time passed so quickly without realizing it."

He took out a few big meat buns from his backpack, ate them up quickly, touched his belly that was just full, and took out the water his daughter had prepared for him and drank it all in one gulp.

After eating and drinking enough, I slowly walked down the mountain with a small wild boar on my shoulders. Let's continue to come over tomorrow to see other traps!

Su Shiming, who returned home with a full load, returned to his old house sweating profusely with the little wild boar on his back.

Mr. Su and Mrs. Su were sitting at the door basking in the sun. When they saw their son returning with the trophies, they were ecstatic and praised their son's good luck.

"Second brother! You are so good!" Mr. Su said excitedly, patting his son on the shoulder. "Although this little wild boar is not yet mature, it is still a big fortune! We can sell it and save up a lot of money. By late April, we can support your two brothers."

The old woman was also very happy. Her Xiaowu and Xiaoliu soon had money to try on the boy. She added without hesitation:

"Yes, second brother, you have done a great thing for our family again. Your luck is incredible, to be able to catch such a fat wild boar in the mountains."

Su Shiming's face stiffened slightly, and then he showed a satisfied smile. He knew that his efforts were not in vain.

He also knew in his heart that this wild boar represented the fruits of his labor and the help of luck.

"Father, mother, this is what it should be." Su Shiming said modestly. "Actually, I was a little lucky to catch this wild boar. After all, hunting in the mountains is not easy."

Mr. Su waved his hand and said with a smile: "Luck is important, but you must also believe in your own abilities. You are a smart and diligent child with extraordinary patience and perseverance. Such success is not just luck."

Su Shiming smiled slightly and was filled with emotion. He understood that his father's words meant affirmation and encouragement for him. He knew that these were reminders of his prey.

"Dad, Mom, I will definitely work harder to raise enough money for Xiaowu and Xiaoliu as soon as possible later this month." Su Shiming said solemnly. "As long as the fifth and sixth graders can make a difference, I will make good use of this income to provide better learning conditions for my younger brothers so that they can have a better future."

Just this year, if they are still so useless and have no potential, he will stop meddling in these nosy matters starting next year.

Mr. Su and the old woman didn't know what the second son was thinking, and they had satisfied smiles on their faces.

They knew that their son not only had outstanding hunting skills, but was also known as a veteran banker.

They were proud of their sons. If the second son had not worked so hard these years and helped people in the old house, the fifth and sixth sons would not have been able to attend private schools for so many years.

"Second child! You are our pride. It's up to you whether Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu can shine on the lintel." Old woman Su said excitedly. "You are not only an excellent hunter, but also a good and responsible son. We feel extremely blessed to have a son like you."

Hearing that the two parents could not leave the topic of Xiaowu and Xiaoliu for a moment, he was really sad. He had worked so hard to help them and paid so much, but it was not worth a hair of his two brothers.

He put the wild boar into the pig pen at home and shut it up, waiting for his parents to sell it, because it was like this every time he caught prey these days or in previous years.

The two parents took the money from selling their prey and kept it themselves, and finally sent their two younger brothers to school.

Looking at his parents who kept talking about the fifth and sixth graders, he was silent there. He just helped them for the last year and let them daydream for another year. He didn't want to say anything.
