Chapter 8 Going up the mountain and the wild boar

Early the next morning, Yu Jiang got up.

Father Yu was preparing to go out and was stunned for a moment when he saw Yu Jiang.

"Why did Jiang Jiang get up so early today? Are you hungry? How about daddy make you two steamed buns?"

Yu Jiang was a little surprised to see Father Yu. According to her observations during this period, Father Yu usually didn't get up until after 7 o'clock.

And it's only 6 o'clock now.

So she didn't expect to meet anyone when she got up now.

Although getting up early to exercise is not a shameful thing.

But in this era, everyone is still working hard for just one bite to eat, and it is not easy to go to work on weekdays. In addition, there is not enough to eat from time to time, so who has the extra energy to exercise.

Only people like Yu Jiang, who have no shortage of food at home and don't work much, would have the idea to get up early and do some exercise.

"No, Dad.

My health has been much better recently, so I just thought that if I exercise in the morning, my health will be better. "

Father Yu nodded in realization.

"It's okay to exercise a bit, just walk around nearby, don't run too far."

At this time, Father Yu thought that Duan Lian, as Yu Jiang said, was wandering around the fields.

"Dad, why did you get up so early today?"

"Oh, it's just a matter of the brigade. I have to go to the city today."

"Okay, Dad, I'll go out first. You should be careful on the way there."

Yu Jiang said and walked out of the door, but she felt that Father Yu might have lied.

His bag and clothes today didn't look like he was going to the city, but instead looked like he was dressed as a government official.

And the bag was bulging, as if it contained a lot of things.

The most important thing is that Father Yu's conversation is really not like that of a small captain.

But Father Yu was a former college student...

It is not impossible.

It's always someone else's business.

Yu Jiang didn't feel that since he replaced the original owner, he had to know all the secrets of the original owner's parents.

Some things are better left unseen.

What Yu Jiang is going to today is Yushan behind the village. It is said that someone has found jade on the mountain, so it is called Yushan. However, over the years, there has been no news that anyone has found jade on the mountain, so it is just regarded as a mountain. Listen to the legend.

Yu Jiang also came to explore the specific situation on the mountain today. If possible, it would be easier to do anything later.

Along the way, you can see some traces of people one after another.

Also, many children and women in the village now come to the mountains to pick up wild products, and some men also come to the mountains to hunt pheasants, hares, etc. and go home to improve their food.

After all, this is an era when there is not enough to eat. Although the things on the mountain are owned by the public, everyone is doing it. As long as it is not done too much, no one will care about it.

Because people come often, there is nothing outside Yushan, and such an environment is obviously not what Yu Jiang wants.

After looking around for a while, Yu Jiang walked deeper into Yushan.

The further in you go, the fewer people there are. When you look up, you can see the trees that reach the sky, covering the woods in darkness.

Yu Jiang found many ancient earth plants painted in books on the ground, and they were edible plants. Yu Jiang took out a dagger from his bracelet, dug out the roots of these plants, and finally put them into the bracelet space together.

There is no need to worry about whether these plants will die. Time in the bracelet space is stationary.

Moreover, the plant-type abilities used by Yu Jiang himself can also save these plants when they still have the last glimmer of life.

Suddenly, Yu Jiang's senses told her that something dangerous was approaching.

The next second, the long bloody whip in his hand swung out and wrapped around the branches of the tree above his head. Yu Jiang also used the force to stand on the branches.

Only then did she see clearly that a wild boar weighing more than 200 kilograms was charging in her direction.

This area should be the territory of this wild boar, and her arrival gave the wild boar the feeling of an intruder, so it attacked her.

Although the size of this wild boar is far inferior to those of the Zerg in the interstellar era, which can easily exceed three meters, the one-meter-plus figure still gives people a sense of oppression. Teeth give people a dangerous feeling.

Yu Jiang had no feelings for the wild boar, and she didn't want to cause any trouble.

She just waited for the wild boar to leave before going back down the mountain.

But this wild boar seems to be used to being the king in this area and has no tolerance for intruders. Even though Yu Jiang is on the tree now, it cannot climb up the tree.

But he hit the tree trunk with his huge body again and again, as if he wanted to break the tree.

Seeing this, Yu Jiang was no longer polite. Since she wanted to die, she would achieve it.

A wooden stick as thick as an adult male's arm quietly appeared in Yu Jiang's hand.

Yu Jiang didn't know when she had such a thing stored in the space of her bracelet. Just now she wanted a handy tool, and this wooden stick appeared in her hand.

Yu Jiang held the wooden stick in one hand and dived down suddenly when the wild boar was about to charge over again. Then he hit the wild boar on the head with a sap and the wild boar fell to the ground.

Yu Jiang sighed silently in his heart, Tsk! This body was still too weak, and it took 5% of his strength to knock the wild boar unconscious. If he were his interstellar self, he would be able to fight against mutated Zerg with his bare hands.

Still have to practice.

Yu Jiang hit the wild boar's head with a stick again. Then the wild boar dragged it towards the outskirts of Yushan. By this time, it was already bright and the more diligent people had already gone out.

Naturally, Yu Jiang would not bring the wild boar back to the village with great fanfare. He placed the wild boar in a place covered by grass, casually threw a restraint to prevent others from seeing it, and walked to his home down the mountain with a backpack that didn't contain much. .

When I got home, Mother Yu was already cooking in the kitchen, and Grandpa Yu and Grandma Yu were busy in the vegetable garden.

Mother Yu was startled when Yu Jiang walked to the kitchen door.

"Why did Jiang Jiang come back from the door? You went out so early today. Where did you go?"

Yu Jiang didn't go into the kitchen to complain.

"Mom, I went up the mountain today and shot a wild boar by the way."

"Why are you kid going to the mountains so early in the morning? Your body is not healed yet. And didn't I tell you? There are wild boars on the mountains. I told you not to go up the mountains...

What did you just say? !

What did you hit? "

Yu's mother didn't react at first, but later she realized what Yu Jiang was saying, and her tone couldn't help but become anxious.

"I met a stupid pig on the mountain. It hit a tree and fainted. I went to patch it up with two sticks, and it died."

Yu Jiang told Yu's mother what happened in a slightly embellished way.

"You ran to the mountains early in the morning, and you encountered a wild boar, and you beat it to death? Can you do that, Yu Jiang? You don't know the danger, right?"

How could Mother Yu not know that wild boars will not hit trees for no reason unless they are deliberately guided.

At this moment, Yu's mother simply didn't know what to say about Yu Jiang. Should she praise her for her skill and courage?

"You're not hurt?"

"No, she was already fainting when I got close to the wild boar."

Yu Jiang continued to lie without changing his expression.

Mother Yu didn't want to discuss it further with her daughter, as long as she wasn't hurt. “How big is that wild boar and where is it?”

"It weighs more than 200 kilograms, and I hid it in the mountain."

After hearing this, Mother Yu put down the spatula and walked towards the small vegetable garden.

"Dad, Jiang Jiang went up the mountain today and met a wild boar that was killed in a tree. Now that the wild boar is hidden in the mountain, what do you think she should do?"

The meaning of Yu Mu's words can be said to be rich.

Although the food on the mountain is owned by the public, for example, when it comes to hunting, whoever catches it usually eats it secretly, and the village won't say anything.

But her husband is the captain, and in this position he has to sacrifice something for the village.

Just like this wild boar, they were not incapable of disposing of it without telling anyone, but neither the husband nor the parents-in-law were willing to keep it for themselves.

And if he was discovered, his husband's position as captain would be tainted by others.

Grandpa Yu was also surprised that his granddaughter encountered a wild boar that was killed.

It’s not that I’m not surprised, the main thing is that the story has been double-edited. It has changed from Yu Jiang killing the wild boar, to the wild boar knocking him unconscious and Yu Jiang finishing the attack, and finally to what Grandpa Yu heard about Yu Jiang meeting a wild boar that was killed. .

Even so, Yu Jiang was scolded by Grandpa Yu for a while.

"Dad, Jianshe (Father Yu) went to the city today. It's up to you to come up with a charter for what to do with this wild boar."

"We can't keep this wild boar to ourselves, so let's take it to the village and let everyone share it. You quickly go to the secretary's house and ask him to preside over the distribution of the pigs, and then ask a few men to go to the mountain with my daughter to carry the wild boar down."

After speaking, Grandpa Yu remembered something and turned to ask Yu Jiang: "Nanny, you discovered this wild boar. Logically speaking, it should be your decision, but you know the situation of our family. Grandpa can only make the decision without authorization."

Yu Jiang, who had just been scolded, said: "Grandpa, it's up to you to decide. I just got lucky and met you."

"Okay, grandpa will not wrong my daughter. Grandpa will give you some money in the evening, and then you can go to the county by yourself and buy whatever you want."

Yu Jiang didn't refuse. She also wanted to see what was being sold in this era. It was impossible if she didn't have money.

"Okay, thank you grandpa."

Soon the whole family split up. Yu's mother went to find the secretary, and Yu Jiang took Grandpa Yu and a few close neighbor uncles to the mountains to carry pigs.

Grandma Yu is preparing a bucket for pork at home.

The wild boar was discovered by her daughter, so pig blood and pig urine should be their family's fault.
