Siheyuan: Rebirth of Liu Ergou

Liu Yi's heart was filled with helplessness and determination. He knew that he could not expose his strength too much, but for the livelihood of his family, he had to embark on the dangerous road of hunting in the mountains again. In the middle of the night, when Qin Huairu was sleeping, he carried a ring-headed knife and walked quietly into the vast mountains and forests.

The night in the mountains was quiet and mysterious. With his keen intuition and extraordinary courage, Liu Yi found the traces of wild boars in a depression with a water source. Facing this group of ferocious beasts, Liu Yi did not retreat, as he knew it was a life-and-death battle. In the fierce fight, he was covered with scars, but with amazing perseverance and fighting skills, he finally killed more than a dozen wild boars.

At noon, Liu Yi returned to Qin's house, bloodstained. His body was covered with scars, but his eyes revealed a kind of determination and satisfaction. He told his father-in-law Qin Youfu that he had hunted more than a dozen wild boars, and pointed out where the wild boars were, asking them to get them back.

Qin Huairu was so distressed when she saw Liu Yi's miserable condition that she couldn't help herself. She hugged Liu Yi tightly, tears streaming down her face, and glared at her father for letting Liu Yi take such a risk. Qin Youfu was embarrassed and silent, and his heart was also filled with guilt and helplessness.

At this time, Qin Huairu's elder brother Qin Long stood up. He knew Liu Yi's sacrifice and dedication, and also understood the family's predicament. He dissuaded Qin Huairu from scolding him, and took his family to the place Liu Yi pointed out, and brought back more than a dozen wild boars.

The harvest from this hunt temporarily relieved the Qin family's hunger, but Liu Yi's injury made Qin Huairu and her family very distressed. They cherished this hard-earned food even more and were more grateful for Liu Yi's sacrifice and dedication to the family.

In the afternoon of Qinjiazhuang, the sun shines through the sparse clouds and shines on the busy Qin family, bringing a touch of warmth to this village that is silent due to hunger. Liu Yi sits quietly in a corner of the yard, watching Qin Huairu and her family chatting and laughing while dealing with the dozen wild boars, and a complex emotion surges in his heart. These wild boars were obtained at the cost of his life, but seeing his family members smile because of this, he feels that everything is worth it. …

"Huai Ru," Liu Yi called softly. Although his voice was not loud, it was full of unquestionable firmness. "Go to your eldest uncle, third uncle, and fourth uncle's house and call them over. Tell them that you will have dinner at home from now on. However, don't tell anyone about this to avoid any accidents."

Qin Huairu was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then she understood Liu Yi's intention. She nodded, turned around and walked out the door. She knew that Liu Yi did this to protect his family and to prevent the secret from being leaked out and causing unnecessary trouble.

Soon, Qin Huairu brought her uncle, third uncle, and fourth uncle to the Qin family. When they saw the wild boars in the yard, they were stunned, and then a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes. They knew what these wild boars meant, that the Qin family would be temporarily free from the trouble of hunger.

"This...what's going on?" Uncle Qin Shouye stared at Liu Yi with eyes wide open, "You kid, you didn't steal it, did you?"

Liu Yi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Uncle, do you think I stole it? I killed it when I went hunting in the mountains."

Uncle Qin Shouyi heard this and took a step forward. He looked at Liu Yi carefully. When he saw the scars on his body, a trace of admiration flashed in his eyes: "Good boy, you have a promising future! You are worthy of being a descendant of our Qin family!"

Fourth uncle Qin Shouzhi was calmer. He looked at the wild boar, then at Liu Yi, and after a moment's silence, he said, "Liu Yi, although what you did solved our urgent need, have you considered the consequences? If this matter were known to others, our Qin family might be in big trouble."

Liu Yi nodded. He had certainly thought about this issue before. "Uncle, don't worry. I've thought about it. As long as we don't make it public, no one will know. Besides, these wild boars are enough for us to eat for a while. When the storm has passed, no one will pursue it anymore."

Hearing Liu Yi say this, the eldest uncle, the third uncle, and the fourth uncle were all silent. They knew that Liu Yi was telling the truth, but they were still a little worried. After all, in this era, food is a scarce resource. Once someone finds out that the Qin family has so many wild boars, it will inevitably attract jealousy and greed.

"Okay, don't worry." Qin Huairu came over and interrupted their thoughts. "We are a family. As long as we are united, there will be no obstacles that we can't overcome. Besides, Liu Yi has done so much for us. We should trust him."

Hearing Qin Huairu's words, the eldest uncle, the third uncle, and the fourth uncle all nodded. They knew that Qin Huairu was telling the truth. In this difficult time, they could only unite and face the difficulties together.

In the following days, the Qin family was busy processing the wild boar every day. They cut the meat into pieces and marinated it for future use. They also boiled the wild boar bones into soup to supplement the family's nutrition. Whenever night fell, the Qin family's yard was filled with the aroma of meat and laughter.

Liu Yi watched this scene, and a warm feeling surged in his heart. He knew that although it was risky, it was worth it because he saw the smiles of his family members and their hope. He knew that as long as his family members could survive, he would have the motivation to continue to fight.

However, the good times did not last long. Just when the Qin family was immersed in joy and satisfaction, an uninvited guest broke their tranquility. That evening, a ragged and haggard middle-aged man came to the Qin family. He was a rogue in the village, usually idle and making a living by stealing chickens and dogs. When he saw that the Qin family had so many wild boars, a trace of greed flashed in his eyes.

"Hey, isn't this the Qin family? Why are there so many wild boars? Were they stolen?" The scoundrel said as he walked into the yard.

Liu Yi frowned when he saw this. He knew that this scoundrel was not easy to deal with. He stepped forward and blocked the scoundrel's way: "Big brother, don't talk nonsense. I hunted these wild boars in the mountains, not stole them."

The scoundrel curled his lips and said disdainfully: "Humph, if you don't share it with me, I will tell the people in the village to come and grab it.

After saying that, he ran out, but before he had run 300 meters, he was hit and killed by a frightened cow.

Everyone in the Qin family finally felt relieved and pretended not to see it all╮（╯＿╰）╭
