Chapter 12: Catching a Wild Boar
Since there is space, Tian Xiuyun will actively go out to chop firewood every day, although it has been winter, the mountain village is located in the northeast of China, this time has already entered the snowfall season, and the entire production team has also entered the cat winter season. But the Tian family's daily firewood was not enough, and no one was willing to go out to chop firewood, for no other reason, but it was too cold outside, so in the end Tian Xiuyun was sent out.
And after Tian Xiuyun was reborn, the task of chopping firewood has always been entrusted to her, so under the acquiescence of the eldest patriarch Tian Maocai, no one offered to go out to chop firewood instead of Tian Xiuyun.
Fortunately, because Tian Xiuyun took the initiative to take up the work that everyone in the family was unwilling to do, Tian's grandmother Li Zhihua was also more tolerant of Tian Xiuyun during this time. There are more people in the family when the farm is not working, so Tian Xiuyun is rarely asked to do other housework, but she has to go out twice a day to carry firewood and come back.
In fact, ordinary farmers will rush to prepare all the firewood to be burned in winter before the heavy snow closes the mountain. But in the Tian family, no one was willing to go up the mountain to chop firewood at all, relying on Tian Xiuyun alone, which was delayed until it had begun to snow, and there was not enough firewood for a winter.
"Girl, why did you come out to chop firewood this day, how cold it is!" Tian Xiuyun passed by the house at the foot of the mountain with a firewood knife on her back as usual, and met three old people chatting at the door.
"Good morning, Grandpa Hua, Grandpa Li, Grandpa Qian. After the last time she treated Old Man Hua, Tian Xiuyun greeted each other every time she met three people in the house, and gradually the four of them became familiar with each other.
"The adults in your family are really not things, and you let a little girl come out to chop wood on such a cold day. "Old Man Hua really can't get used to what the Tian family does, especially Tian Xiuyun, who has a life-saving grace for him, and his personality is quiet and well-behaved, and he is even more unhappy for her.
"It's okay, just come out and exercise. Knowing that the three old men felt sorry for themselves, Tian Xiuyun smiled and didn't complain anything.
"Let's go, we three old guys will go with you, and you can hurry up, finish chopping wood early, and you can have more time to rest." Old Man Li and the three of them quickly picked up firewood and ropes and followed Tian Xiuyun to the mountain.
This is also what often happens after snowfall, as long as Tian Xiuyun passes by and is seen by the three old men, they will forcibly follow to help chop wood, and when the firewood is cut, they will let Tian Xiuyun bake the fire in the house, and rest until it is almost noon before sending people back.
However, every time at this time, although they can't enter the space to cultivate, after going to the house, the three old men will take the initiative to take out the collected waste textbooks to teach Tian Xiuyun because they know that Tian Xiuyun has never gone to school. This is also the reason why Tian Xiuyun has not taken the initiative to avoid it.
In her previous life, although she also learned some knowledge and arithmetic one after another, after all, it was only because of the need to be a hawker, and now she knows that these three old men, except for Old Man Hua, who was born in the army, the other two old men were all among the top professors in the university before.
Tian Xiuyun naturally won't let go of such a good opportunity, so every time she goes back to the house to rest, she will seize the time to learn more, and although Mr. Hua is not very helpful culturally, he will often guide Tian Xiuyun to learn some kung fu for self-defense.
It's just a pity that the textbooks used by the two old men to teach are all patchwork, although they learn a lot, but the difficulty of knowledge is uneven, and it is also a little derailed from the current school, so the two old men will try their best to prepare for class every time, just hoping to let Tian Xiuyun learn more knowledge.
As usual, the four of them went into the mountain forest together, not going too deep, but fortunately, because of the dense trees in the forest, the snow was not deep, but most of the trees were not evergreen shrubs, so there was still snow on the ground.
When they arrived in the forest, the four of them scattered, and those who did not have a firewood knife picked up the fallen branches under the trees, and those who had a firewood knife chose the branches that did not grow well and cut them down. For a while, there was only the click of tree branches in the forest, and the four of them were not characters with many words, but fortunately, it didn't take much time, and Tian Xiuyun had collected almost all the firewood she had to prepare for a day, so that she could stay in the house and study directly in the afternoon.
If she hadn't been with the three old men on this day, Tian Xiuyun would have spent most of her time cultivating in the space, and the most significant result in this way was that she had finally entered the third layer of the Qi Refining Period, and in just over a month, she had been able to make such great progress, thanks to the help of the space.
"Old... Lao Hua, listen to if there is a movement of a beast. "Old man Qian, who has always regarded himself as a literati, although he did a lot of farm work during the decentralization period, and his personality has become rougher, but his temperament is still weakened by literati.
"Old man Qian, you come over first, I'll take a look. Old Man Hua picked up the firewood knife and walked in the direction pointed by Old Man Qian.
"I'm going to help. Through spiritual sense, Tian Xiuyun already knew that there was an adult wild boar foraging not far away, and she was worried that Old Man Hua was in danger, so she hurriedly followed. You must know that the power of an adult wild boar is not something that ordinary people can resist, although Mr. Hua was born as a soldier, but the experience of criticism in the past few years has also caused him to have a great physical deficit, he is completely a paper tiger, and his appearance alone can bluff people.
"Be careful, girl. "Old Man Li is not in the way, during this time together, they also know that Tian Xiuyun has a mysterious master who has learned a skill, and he has also learned some self-defense martial arts from Old Man Hua on weekdays, so they also know that with her with him, Old Man Hua is safer.
"Oh, what a big boar. At this time, Old Man Hua had already seen what it was, and his heart was excited and nervous. It looks like the New Year is coming, and if there is this wild boar, the one who can live with a fat mouth and a fat tongue. It's just a little difficult that Old Man Hua also knows his current situation, and it is very difficult to fight against this adult wild boar.
"Grandpa Hua, I'm here to help you. Tian Xiuyun heard the voice of the old man Hua, and also knew that the old man was somewhat entangled in his heart, so he took the initiative to come over.
"Okay, let's cooperate with our grandparents and grandchildren to take down this wild boar. "Old man Hua is not polite, these days, he knows Tian Xiuyun's skills better than the other two, although at first he wanted to seriously teach Tian Xiuyun martial arts, but after a period of time, he found that Tian Xiuyun's martial arts value far exceeded him, and he also understood in his heart that most of it was the result of the teaching of other masters.
Tian Xiuyun locked the wild boar with her spiritual sense, and secretly hit a true qi to lock the wild boar, and then she and Old Man Hua carried a firewood knife to cut it down. The two shot very decisively, although the wild boar sensed the danger and wanted to escape, but was trapped by the true qi and could only be angry in the same place, in the old man Hua's opinion, it was the wild boar that wanted to impact the two, so the firewood knife in his hand fell more quickly.
Just after the old man Hua went down, Tian Xiuyun took a gap and unloaded her true qi, and the wild boar immediately spread her son and prepared to run away in order to get free, but it was a pity that Tian Xiuyun, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately stepped forward and made up for another knife, and in a moment, the wild boar fell to the ground.
At this time, Mr. Hua was still a little surprised, he didn't expect the two to cooperate so neatly, and he directly gave the wild boar to the second. At the same time, I couldn't help but feel complacent, feeling that I was still not old.
"Good guy, you two can do it!" Old Man Li and the two of them hurriedly ran over here when they heard a terrible pig cry, for fear that something would happen, but they still had a firewood knife in their hands, which could help somewhat. It's just that when the two of them ran to the front, the wild boar had fallen to the ground, and looking at the huge boar, I couldn't help but marvel.
"Lao Tzu was a first-class good hand at fighting devils back then. As soon as the proud old man Hua opened his mouth, he exposed his habits in the army back then.
"Come on, hurry up and clean up, these bloody gases may attract some beasts, and then there will be no chance for you to be Lao Tzu. Old Man Li thought more thoughtfully, and saw that the two were not injured and the battle ended quickly enough, so he urged him to leave quickly.
"Yes, let's tie up the boar, move it down, and cover up the blood on the ground. Old Man Hua also came back to his senses, and immediately ran to the place where he chopped wood and made a simple hand-dragged climbing plow.
The four of them worked together to lift the wild boar to the climbing plow, dragged by the most powerful old man Hua, and the other three quickly picked up some firewood and followed behind to leave the scene.
