Stunning Check-in: A Carefree Life Begins in the Countryside

Time flies.

As the sun began to set,

Xia An, looking wary, gripped his pistol and quickly headed out of the forest.

"Bang!"

A gunshot suddenly rang out from the left front, and Xia An's lips twitched slightly.

"No way?"

"Another melodramatic plot twist?"

I still remember the last time, just before I was about to leave the mountain, I heard a gunshot and then I met Li Yuxue.

Surely it's not that bad today?

He hesitated for a moment, but still ran quickly in that direction.

however,

Just then, a wild boar's loud roar rang out from that direction.

Xia An's expression hardened. "These hunters are going to such lengths? They actually provoked a wild boar?"

Wild boar,

They have thick skin and tough flesh; unless you hit them in the head with a hunting rifle, they're very difficult to kill.

If the prey is injured and its ferocity is aroused, the hunter will be in danger.

Judging that the sound was coming from several hundred meters away, Xia An hesitated for a moment and scanned his surroundings.

Seeing a thick, sturdy tree in the distance, he quickly approached, intending to observe the situation from the treetop using a sniper rifle scope.

Of course,

As Xia An approached, his expression suddenly sharpened as he noticed something amiss.

Are there signs of wild boar activity here?

He quickly scanned his surroundings and soon located the area under the roots of the large tree.

Although the fallen leaves and branches provided some cover, Xia An still noticed something amiss.

"It looks like a nest?"

Xia An thought to himself,

He listened intently and detected a faint gurgling sound inside.

And it's not even one.

His eyes lit up as he glanced in the direction from which the wild boar's cry had come.

Could I really be that lucky?

Xia An muttered to himself, then gritted his teeth, tiptoed to the tree, climbed up two meters high, and hugged the trunk.

Immediately, he used his spatial ability to collect the dead branches and leaves, revealing the nest.

Xia An rolled his eyes and took out two handfuls of wheat, scattering them outside the nest.

Seemingly sensing the scent of wheat, the grunting sounds from the nest became slightly heavier.

After a few breaths,

A wild boar cub poked its head out, and after confirming that it was safe, it made a squeaking sound.

Immediately, five wild boar cubs ran out together and began pecking at the wheat.

Xia An's lips curled slightly as he stared at the five wild boar cubs.

With a slight thought, he stored them all in his spiritual spring space, accepting this unexpected joy.

He immediately put the dead branches and leaves back and quickly left the scene.

He ran several dozen meters forward before climbing a large tree and observing through the scope.

quickly,

Xia An found the wild boar, which was running away from its previous lair.

A few drops of blood dripped from his neck, scattering on the ground or leaves.

Xia An's expression tightened slightly. "It seems that this litter of cubs really is its."

He turned his sniper rifle and quickly pinpointed the hunter's location.

two!

At this moment, they were each in a large tree, watching the fleeing wild boar.

The two looked at each other, but neither of them showed any intention of giving chase.

The wild boar is fleeing, but if they give chase, it will definitely retaliate.

If that were the case, they would likely be injured or even killed, and they seemed unwilling to take the gamble.

Through the scope, Xia An was now certain that he had not seen the two people.

He had seen all six hunters from Anping Village that night, but these two were not among them.

"It's highly likely that they are hunters from Fenggoutun or Lijiatun."

Xia An muttered to himself.

"In that case, I won't participate. Good luck to you!"

With that, he put away his sniper rifle and quickly headed down the mountain.

If it were someone from Anping Village, he might go over to help, or at least say hello.

But since that's not the case, and they're not in any danger right now, why would he go up there?

This time, Xia An encountered no further unexpected situations. However, a few moments later, two more gunshots rang out behind him.

Then came the roar of wild boars.

"Those two, could they be determined to give up and have gone after us?"

Xia An glanced back, but didn't look any further, and quickly walked away from the edge of the forest.

Normally, if the hunter doesn't pursue, the wild boar will hide for a while until its injuries have healed somewhat, then it will circle back to its den.

However, if pursued, it will use bushes and other terrain features to fight back, putting the hunter at a disadvantage.

But these are not things Xia An should consider; there's no need for them.

If those two hunters are determined to die, what does it matter to him if they get injured or killed?

quickly,

Upon reaching the outskirts of the forest, just before leaving, Xia An took out his basket.

This time he was gathering firewood, not herbs, so his basket was much bigger.

A full basket can hold eighty pounds of birchwood, which is quite heavy.

He hesitated for a moment, then hung his portable basket for gathering herbs on his waist and put some herbs inside.

Finally, they used hemp rope to tie two bundles of black birch branches weighing over twenty kilograms each into firewood.

He took out a wooden stick that he had prepared beforehand, about the thickness of an arm and 1.6 meters long, and carried two bundles of firewood on it, then quickly walked out of the forest.

"120 pounds, I guess I'd be considered a strongman to some extent?"

Xia An chuckled lightly.

Eighty pounds of firewood was not heavy for him; in fact, it was quite easy.

Carrying another forty pounds of firewood, one hand can help reduce the pressure on the shoulder.

It took 120 pounds for him to feel even a little pressure.

This shows that his physique is indeed much stronger than that of an ordinary person.

He felt that his load was around 300 pounds, which was about three times that of an average person.

Xia An hurried out of the forest, catching the last rays of the sun.

In the distance, in the fields, the team members had just finished work and were heading back to the village.

Xia An hurried towards the village with small, quick steps.

Getting back to the village sooner means being able to put down our burdens sooner, right?

It's not very heavy, but it's not light either.

Moreover, he had just left the northern mountains and forests, and was only three or four miles away from the village.

Carrying 80 pounds on his back and another 40 pounds on his shoulder, even if he didn't think it was heavy, it would still be very uncomfortable after a while.

Not long after.

Before Xia An even entered the village, Luo Yunshu quickly came to greet him.

"Brother Xia An, why are you carrying so much? What if you get injured?"

Looking worried, she prepared to take down the firewood that Xia An was carrying.

Xia An quickly waved her hand, "It must weigh forty pounds, it's not light, I can handle it."

Luo Yunshu shook her head and chuckled, "Brother Xia An, are you looking down on me? This is a flat road, I can easily carry this weight."

Xia An shook her head, "I know, but it's not easy. I don't want you to suffer."

"Let's not talk about this anymore, let's go back first."

Luo Yunshu's eyes showed a strange expression. She stopped insisting on helping and quickly led the way.

"Brother Xia An, just send it to the construction site and leave it there. It should be finished and ready for occupancy in less than three days."

Xia An nodded and quickly followed her toward the construction site.
