Traveling through the 1970s: The young wife loves to make trouble

Chapter 254 Big loss
The three of them walked out of the cave, two in front and one behind. Outside the cave, Xie Wen and Ishichuan said goodbye to Tao Qiuyi and continued to work.

Wei Jingyuan and Tao Qiuyi took Tao Qiusi away.

After all, they had lived in the cave for more than three years, and now that they were about to leave, Tao Qiusi felt reluctant to leave and kept looking back. Tao Qiuyi also occasionally looked back, with reluctance in his eyes.

Wei Jingyuan was puzzled as he watched the two's actions unfold. Qiusi had lived in the cave for three years, so he could understand why she was reluctant to leave. But what was Qiuqiu reluctant to leave?

Noticing her turning back once again, Wei Jingyuan also turned back. Following her gaze, he saw... a wild boar.

"Leave the five wild boars here to Xie Wenshichuan and the others. One wild boar is enough for us to eat." Wei Jingyuan lowered his head and said in her ear.

Tao Qiuyi's eyes lit up, then he frowned again. He rolled his eyes at Wei Jingyuan and said, "The wild boars have already run away. Where can we find a wild boar?"

Tao Qiuyi didn't feel embarrassed at all that he could see that she was reluctant to part with the wild boar.

"Forget what I told you about how I brought the wild boar here before." Wei Jingyuan looked at her with a smile.

"You killed a wild boar, which aroused the wild boar group..." Tao Qiuyi stopped talking, and already understood which wild boar he was talking about.

Regarding the wild boar he had killed earlier, Tao Qiuyi urged Wei Jingyuan, "Go, go, go... Go faster, go faster."

Tao Qiusi followed behind the two of them and heard their conversation clearly. After thinking for a while, she called Tao Qiuyi, "Sister."

"Yeah." Tao Qiuyi stopped and looked back at Qiusi.

Tao Qiusi said, "I dug three hunting traps before, and was caught by masked men when I went to check on them. I haven't checked on the traps since I came back. Can we go check on them before going down the mountain?"

"Sure!" Tao Qiuyi agreed generously.

Tao Qiusi was very happy and trotted a few steps to lead the way. Wei Jingyuan and Tao Qiuyi looked at each other without saying a word and followed Tao Qiusi.

Of the three traps, two were not very far from the cave, and only one was farther away. Fortunately, the farther one was in the direction of the wild boars.

There were two traps not far from the cave, one containing a pheasant and the other a hare. Tao Qiusi was overjoyed to see the pheasant and the hare.

After collecting the pheasants and hares, the three of them came to the far side of the trap. Seeing a sheep struggling in the trap, Tao Qiusi was stunned. This was the first time he saw a sheep in a trap.

Tao Qiuyi and Wei Jing were a little surprised that such an inconspicuous trap could catch a sheep. Soon, Tao Qiuyi heard the sheep begging for mercy. The sheep was pregnant and begged them to let it go.

"What's wrong?" Wei Jingyuan asked her in a low voice after noticing the change in Tao Qiuyi's expression.

"This sheep is pregnant, let's let it go." When saying this, Tao Qiuyi was looking at Tao Qiusi.

The trap was set by Tao Qiusi, and he had the final say.

Hearing her say this, Wei Jingyuan knew that it was the sheep that told Qiuqiu. The sheep had been bleating the whole time, but he just couldn't understand what it was saying.

Tao Qiusi was stunned. He looked at Tao Qiuyi, then at the sheep in the trap. Without much thought, he nodded and agreed, "Okay, my sister said to release this sheep, so let's release it."

After getting Tao Qiusi's consent, Tao Qiuyi looked at Wei Jingyuan. Wei Jingyuan immediately understood and jumped into the trap, grabbed the sheep's horns and led it out.

Almost the moment Wei Jingyuan let go, the sheep ran away.

"It's running really fast." Tao Qiusi said with a pout. "Remember that time you ran into me?" Tao Qiuyi glanced at the young Qiusi. "It's running just like you were back then, running for your life. How can you not run faster?"

Tao Qiusi shut up decisively.

At this time, the sheep, which had run a distance away, stopped again, turned around to say thank you to Tao Qiuyi and Wei Jingyuan, and then ran away.

"What did it say?" Wei Jingyuan whispered to Tao Qiuyi. He had always believed that all things have spirits. After Tao Qiuyi said she could understand the birds' talk, he believed it even more.

Just now, when the sheep turned around and bleated, he thought it was saying thank you.

"It said thank you to us," Tao Qiuyi replied, and walked forward first. Wei Jingyuan followed her, feeling indescribably happy. He had guessed what the sheep meant.

Following behind the two of them, Tao Qiusi looked thoughtful.

After the three of them walked for a while, Tao Qiuyi smelled a bloody odor. The smell was different from that of human blood, so she guessed it was wild boar blood.

The smell of blood grew stronger as they walked. Before Tao Qiuyi could say anything, Wei Jingyuan suddenly stopped and said to Tao Qiuyi, "Wait here for a moment. I'll go drag the wild boar out."

Tao Qiuyi nodded and stood still.

Wei Jingyuan walked to a bush and soon after he got inside, he dragged out a wild boar. The wild boar was huge, weighing at least 300 kilograms.

Fat, really fat, this is a fat wild boar.

Tao Qiuyi was very happy and took the basket from Wei Jingyuan's back and carried it on her own. Wei Jingyuan found some grass and large leaves to pad his back, and then carried the wild boar on his back.

How strong is Brother Wei, carrying such a big wild boar on his back? Tao Qiusi was so shocked that she was speechless and even walked a little unsteadily.

As they walked, Tao Qiuyi discussed with Wei Jingyuan how to distribute the wild boar meat.

"This wild boar is really fat. Let's keep half for ourselves. Give the other half to Huang Hao and ask him to find someone to cook it as a reward for the people who worked." Tao Qiuyi expressed his plan.

"I'm afraid that won't work." Wei Jingyuan shook his head. "If we hunt large animals, we have to share the spoils with the villagers."

When Tao Qiuyi heard that the wild boars were going to be distributed to the villagers, he felt a little uncomfortable.

Wei Jingyuan explained: "The team leader and the old Party secretary will bring the village laborers to clean up the wild boars. Then they will distribute the meat according to the number of people in the village. Of course, those who hunt wild boars will get more meat."

"You were originally planning to give half of the wild boar meat to Huang Hao and have him find someone to cook it as a reward for the people who worked. Giving them some wild boar meat to take home would also be a reward for them."

After he said this, Tao Qiuyi felt much better. As long as the people working for them could eat wild boar meat, the process was not important.

"There are so many people in the village, how much meat can our family get?" This was a question that suddenly occurred to Tao Qiuyi. If they could only get a few pounds of meat, it would be too much of a loss.

Wei Jingyuan calculated in his mind, "There are more than 40 households in our team, and our family can probably get about ten pounds of meat. If you want some pig offal, we'll give you some too."

She could get about ten pounds of wild boar meat, which was a few pounds more than she had expected. However, half a piece of wild boar weighed over a hundred pounds, so getting only ten pounds was still a big loss.

As for the pig offal, she didn't want it. Tao Qiuyi decisively refused, "No, wild boar offal is not as delicious as domestic pig offal."

"Okay, if you don't want pig offal, then we won't have it." Wei Jingyuan would agree to whatever she said.
