Chapter 16: Wild Boar

Knowing that she had made her eldest sister angry by saying something she shouldn't have said, Shen Jiyue didn't dare to say more, let Shen Xinyue hold her hand, glanced at Wang Liang apologetically, and turned to leave.

Wang Liang stood in place and thought for a moment, then pulled his legs and chased after Shen Xinyue and the others in the direction they left......

At this moment, the people who remained in the same place had already put together the scattered things.

Fortunately, everyone was in the field when the earthquake occurred, and there were no serious casualties except for a few people who were scratched by stones and branches.

Seeing that Shen Jiyue was found safely, everyone was relieved.

"Uncle, my second brother and I found a dry riverbed in the east, and there may be water underground." Shen Xinyue informed everyone of the place she had discovered before.

When everyone got the good news, the gloom on their faces was swept away.

Shen Dacheng lifted the basket and urged Shen Xinyue and Shen Guian to lead the way in front.

"Eldest sister, there is a child behind us who has been following us." Shen Yueyue carried the basket on his back, ran two steps to catch up with Shen Xinyue in front, turned his head and pointed to the back.

Shen Xinyue turned around, and when she saw Wang Liang following behind, her brows couldn't help frowning.

"Leave it alone, let him go."

Half an hour later, the group came to the riverbed, and Shen Xinyue told everyone what she had said to Shen Gui'an before.

"Can you really have water if you dig like this? Can what she says as a girl be taken seriously? ”

opened his mouth wide and covered his injured arm, originally hoping to take advantage of the earthquake to secretly reap some benefits, but who knew that his arm was stuck in the crack of the stone, and he couldn't do anything.

Shen March's dead girl, who protected things to death, didn't let go when she fell, it was so infuriating!

"Can you say a few words, and I didn't let you do it, go and stay with the ingots." Zhao Manchu frowned and reprimanded unceremoniously.

"I, I'm not doing this for everyone's good." opened his mouth and muttered unconvinced, and after being glared at by Zhao Manchu, he unwillingly pulled his son and retreated.

Soon a few strong laborers began to dig with tools.

As you dig down to a depth of more than half a meter, the otherwise dry soil begins to get wetter and wetter.

Everyone's energy was lifted all at once.

When you dig about a meter and a half, a small amount of water begins to seep out of the surrounding area.

"Out of the water, out of the water!" Someone shouted excitedly.

Shen Xinyue: "Find a few relatively flat stones and put them at the bottom of the pit, stay for a while, filter them simply, and the water can be used." ”

Finally out of the water, everyone was full of energy, and they all acted according to what she said.

Shen Gui'an grabbed the hem of his clothes and wiped the sweat on his face, and said in admiration: "Big sister, you know a lot." ”

"There are a lot of customers coming and going in the market, and I happen to like to listen to some gossip, who knows that I use them all."

Every time at this time, Shen Xinyue was more fortunate. Fortunately, the original owner has been out of the stall for a while, otherwise I really don't know what excuse I can find to prevaricate in the past.

Because it had to sit for a long time, and it was not too early to see that it was getting dark, in order to prevent the water from being stolen by others, the people decided to stay where they were for the night.

Wang Liang behaved very actively, and immediately went to collect firewood with others after stopping, and without saying much, he put the firewood he picked up and put it here with Shen Xinyue and them, and then retreated to the edge of the team very consciously.

"I think that kid is very good, they are all hard-working people, so if you can help, you can help." Looking at his figure shrinking in the corner, Mrs. Shen was a little soft-hearted.

Shen Xinyue half lowered her eyes, and the beating fire shone on her face, obscure.

She didn't answer, and picked up a stick of firewood and added it to the fire.

As Hu Songbai said, born in this troubled world, who is better than whom?

However, the other party is only an eight- or nine-year-old half-old child, and he has saved Shen Jiyue, and Shen Xinyue's attitude is not too tough.

When he was having dinner, he deliberately took an extra shortbread and asked Shen Jiyue to send it to him.

After dinner, Shen Dacheng organized four or five people to be on duty for the night, and the others were all laid out with hay and ready to go to bed.

In the middle of the night, everyone was sleeping in Zhengxiang, and was suddenly awakened by a shout.

"There are wild boars!"

Shen Xinyue opened her eyes and subconsciously took the dagger under her head.

"It's a big wild boar, everyone get up quickly, protect the old man and the child in the middle, and be careful of being injured by the wild boar!"

"Light the fire, quickly take the torch, the wild boar must be afraid of fire, everyone copy the guy, drive it away first!"

Everyone was gossiping, the women were afraid to protect their children in their arms, and the men picked up the things to protect them behind them.

For a while, there was a lot of noise, and the two front hooves of the wild boar not far away were restlessly digging the ground, and their noses were making impatient sounds.

The two fangs look even more creepy at night.

"Wild boar is rare, don't scare it away."

Shen Xinyue's eyes were firmly fixed on the wild boar's strong body, as if she had seen the wild boar meat that had been peeled and roasted and charred on the outside and tender on the inside.

Shen Dacheng held a long knife in his hand, and while being wary of the wild boar rushing over like crazy, he said: "Girl, the wild boar is ruthless with thick skin and flesh, it is easy and difficult to deal with, we still have old people and children, we can't move casually." ”

"The old man and the child are backing up, and the others are surrounding the wild boar, don't let it escape."

Shen Xinyue whispered to the back, clenching the dagger in her hand.

Now that there is a drought, it is rare to encounter such a large wild animal in the mountains, and it is estimated that this wild boar also came looking for water.

She would never let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to eat meat.

Several other villagers also raised their weapons.

"The crescent girl is right, the opportunity is rare, there are so many of us, it must be no problem to deal with a wild boar."

Seeing that her granddaughter and a group of men were going to hunt wild boars, Mrs. Shen's heart almost jumped out of her throat.

"Xinyue, come back quickly, that wild boar is not a joke, your uncle was arched to death by a wild boar two years ago, you can't be reckless at this time!"

"Milk, the eldest sister is amazing, she will definitely be fine."

Shen March held the wooden stick in his hand that was as thick as his arm, and he was eager to try.

If a wild boar comes, she will surely swing it with a stick.

"Milk, don't worry, I'll be fine."

As soon as Shen Xinyue's words fell, the wild boar, which had already been unable to bear it, rushed straight in the direction of the crowd.

The crowd screamed in fear.

Behind them is the riverbed, and the wild boars want to find water, regardless of whether they are more or less crowded. The dagger is too short and does not have much advantage against a mad boar.

Shen Xinyue stretched out her legs to the fire on the side, and with a little hook of her toes, a half-cut of wood with sparks in her hand arrived.

Gripping the wood tightly, he swung it in the direction of the wild boar.
