Su Ning harbored suspicions and voiced her concern, “Third Sister-in-law, do you hear that? Is it the sound of wild boars?”

The noise seemed to originate from the direction of the trap.

Qin Zhenzhen set aside the iron hoe she was holding. “Indeed, those are wild boar sounds. I’m going to check if a wild boar has fallen into the trap!”

She couldn’t hide her excitement. The wild boar must have been lured by her spiritual water, and now the ravenous creature had unwittingly become ensnared!

Chuckling to herself, she attributed the furious noises to the wild boar’s unsuccessful attempts to escape the trap.

Su Ning placed her basket down. “I’ll come along and have a look!”

Both of them hastened their steps towards the trap.

En route, Su Ning heard Su Cheng’s enthusiastic shout, “Third Sister-in-law, Sixth Sister, there’s a wild boar caught in Second Brother’s trap!”

Upon hearing the news, Su Ning couldn’t contain her excitement. “How big is

“Probably around 150 kg!”

Su Ning grew even more elated. “Third Sister-in-law, you’re incredibly fortunate! The leaves you gathered truly attracted the wild boar!”

Qin Zhenzhen tried to suppress her laughter. “I was merely testing it out. Wild boars are so foolish, and we’re fortunate too.’ “Then we’re all lucky, Third Sister-in-law!”

The two of them arrived at the trap.

Sure enough, a sizable wild boar weighing approximately 150 kg was captured within.

Su Cheng couldn’t stop grinning.

Su Ning proceeded to inform Su Cheng about Qin Zhenzhen’s leaf-picking method.

Su Cheng’s eyes widened. “Does that really work? It’s unbelievable!”

Su Ning nodded in agreement. “Absolutely true, but it’s still hard to believe! Third Sister-in-law, you’re not only lucky, but also clever with plenty of ideas!”

Su Cheng gazed at the captured wild boar. “Third Sister-in-law, how do we go about dealing with this wild boar?”

Qin Zhenzhen responded, “First, we need to kill it, and then we can drag it back. ”

It seemed obvious that they couldn’t bring the wild boar home without first dispatching it.

Su Ning expressed her concern. “Third Sister-in-law, do you know how to slaughter pigs?”

Neither she nor Fifth Brother possessed such knowledge.

Qin Zhenzhen shook her head. “I’m not familiar with the process.”

Even if she did know, a sickle wouldn’t be sufficient to kill a wild boar.

Slaughtering pigs required the assistance of several individuals, let alone dealing with a wild boar.

In her previous life, she wouldn’t have dared to confront a wild boar alone.

Su Cheng sighed regretfully. “If only Second Brother were here.”

“What if I go back to the village and seek help?” Qin Zhenzhen shook her head.

“Let’s go to my home and fetch my brothers.”

“It’s not far from here, and it’s still early.”

The two villages were in close proximity to each other.

Qin Village was closer to the town, but it also had close ties to Qian Village.

Su Ning chimed in. “Yes, we should go and fetch Third Sister-in-law’s brothers.”

“The villagers here don’t know how to slaughter pigs.”

Moreover, if they sought assistance from the villagers, they would likely demand a portion of the wild boar as compensation.

Su Ning made up her mind to share the wild boar with Oin Zhenzhen’s brothers.

After all, Third Sister-in-law’s brothers had been incredibly helpful the day before.

Su Cheng also recognized this and agreed. “Alright, I’ll head there right away!” Qin Zhenzhen reminded him, “Don’t bother collecting firewood, just go back empty-handed.”

“Got it!”

Su Cheng, accustomed to traversing the mountains, swiftly disappeared from sight.

Qin Zhenzhen turned to Su Ning. “You stay here and keep watch. I’ll gather the yams and load them into the basket. Then I’ll join you in standing guard.”

Since the wild boar couldn’t escape the trap, it oscillated between fury and panic. It aimlessly wandered within the enclosure, using its snout to dig around.

The clamor created by the wild boar’s commotion could attract people from nearby, so it was essential for them to remain vigilant..
