Siheyuan: Rebirth of Liu Ergou

In the days when food was increasingly scarce, Liu Rui decided to take action. He knew that it was no problem to help No. 95 Courtyard in Nanluoguxiang by relying on the food stored at home. He had countless food reserves in his own space. If this matter was once told to others, the consequences would be disastrous. So, he made a bold decision - to go hunting to replenish the food reserves at home.

He carried a bow and arrow, a sharp dagger, and even called his wife Liu Ying along. Although Liu Ying was a little worried, she also knew that this was a helpless move, so she resolutely embarked on the hunting journey with Liu Rui.

They came to the Badaling Great Wall, where there were dense forests and wild animals roaming around, making it a good place for hunting. Liu Rui carefully shuttled through the forest, always keeping alert. Liu Ying followed closely behind him, holding a small dagger in her hand, in case of emergency.

Suddenly, a burst of rapid panting broke the silence in the forest. Liu Rui immediately stopped and signaled Liu Ying to keep quiet. They held their breath and carefully distinguished the direction of the sound. After a while, four huge wild boars appeared in their sight.

Liu Rui was delighted, but he calmed down immediately. He knew that hunting a wild boar was not an easy task and required calmness and patience. He quietly approached the wild boar and chose the best position to attack. Then, he took a deep breath and pulled the bowstring to its full length.

With a sound of "whoosh!", the arrows shot towards the wild boars like lightning. One of the wild boars fell down, but the other three immediately became violent and rushed around. Liu Rui and Liu Ying quickly dodged the wild boars' attacks, while looking for opportunities to attack again.

After a fierce fight, Liu Rui finally shot down another wild boar. Seeing this, the remaining two wild boars turned around and tried to escape. How could Liu Rui let them escape so easily? He quickly caught up with one of them and accurately stabbed its heart with a dagger. The last wild boar also fell in a pool of blood under Liu Ying's brave attack.

As night fell, Liu Rui and Liu Ying sat by the campfire, roasting fragrant wild boar meat. Their faces were filled with smiles of excitement and satisfaction. This night, they not only harvested abundant prey, but also felt endless warmth and passion in each other's company. Under the starry sky, they hugged each other tightly, celebrating this successful hunting trip together.

Liu Rui and Liu Ying stood in the dense forest near the Badaling Great Wall, looking at the four huge wild boars, feeling both happy about the harvest and worried about how to bring them home. After discussion, they decided to make a simple sled and pull the wild boars home by themselves.

They first looked for suitable wood, cut it into shape with a sharp dagger, and tied it tightly with vines to make a simple but sturdy sledge. Then, they took great pains to lift the two wild boars onto the sledge, and the heavy weight made them almost breathless.

Liu Rui stood at the front of the sled, holding the shaft tightly with both hands, and pulled forward with all his strength. Liu Ying stood at the back of the sled, pushing with all her strength. However, the mountain road in Badaling was rugged and uneven, and the sled was shaky in the bumps, as if it would overturn at any time. Liu Rui and Liu Ying could only move forward cautiously, and every step was full of challenges.

As night fell, the moonlight dimly sprinkled in the mountains and forests, adding a bit of mystery and uneasiness to this difficult journey. The wind whistled in the forest, like the roar of a wild animal, which made their heartbeats speed up and their palms sweat. However, they knew that they could not stop now. Many people in the compound were already short of food, and these wild boars were their only hope.

As time went by, their physical strength gradually ran out, and sweat fell like rain on the mountain road. Liu Rui's back was painful from being pressed by the pole, and Liu Ying's hands were also rubbed raw. However, they still gritted their teeth and persisted, pulling forward with all their strength.

After falling and getting up countless times, they finally saw the outline of their home. At that moment, their hearts were filled with excitement and relief. Although they were physically exhausted, they knew that they had succeeded.

When they finally pulled the wild boar to the doorstep, it was already the next morning. The sun shone on them, as if praising their courage and persistence. They smiled at each other. Although the process was extremely difficult, they knew that it was all worth it.

The experience of bringing the wild boar home has become an unforgettable memory in their lives. Whenever they think back to that night, they feel extremely proud and satisfied, because they know that as long as they face difficulties bravely and persist in not giving up, they will be able to overcome all challenges.

Liu Rui and Liu Ying shared a few wild boar heads with the people in the courtyard, and everyone was grateful. The remaining pork was smoked. In this period of food shortage, these wild boars became everyone's lifesaver. In the days that followed, Liu Rui and Liu Ying continued to hunt together. Their skills became more and more sophisticated, and they could bring back rich harvests every time. Neighbors also joined in and formed a hunting team.

One day, Liu Rui found a wounded fawn while hunting. He wanted to shoot it with an arrow, but when he saw the fear and pleading in the fawn's eyes, he softened his heart. Liu Ying also felt sorry for the fawn and suggested taking it home to heal its wounds. They treated the fawn with homemade herbal medicine, and after a few days, the fawn's wounds healed.

However, something unexpected happened. One night, a group of wolves attacked the hunting grounds, and everyone fought back. At the critical moment, a little deer led a group of deer and rushed in to help people drive away the wolves. It turned out that the little deer was the leader of the herd, and it was grateful to Liu Rui and Liu Ying for saving its life.
