The poor girl from the 1970s was forced to kiss by the damp educated youth.

Chen Zhi returned home, put down her basket, and had just taken a sip of water when her grandmother instructed her to chop bamboo shoots. After chopping, she had to boil them. Once boiled, some of the bamboo shoots would be used for cooking, and the rest would be dried and stored for later consumption.

"Take advantage of the tender bamboo shoots these days and find plenty to bring back. They'll be a dish for your second brother's wedding banquet," Grandma said.

Chen Zhi: "When is Second Brother holding the banquet?"

Grandma thought for a moment, then said, "Summer, perhaps."

Chen Zhi glanced at her grandmother in surprise, "After summer comes the autumn harvest. Isn't your cousin's family harvesting at their own home?"

You can earn a lot of work points during the autumn harvest.

Grandma's expression froze. "If it's not summer, then let's do it next spring."

Chen Zhi's lips twitched. How meticulous they were! They either let people come before the autumn harvest to earn work points, or let them come after winter. Once they came, they would start spring plowing. They were afraid that people would come in winter and eat their food for free all winter.

But speaking of who the second cousin's wife is, her second cousin hasn't gone to meet her yet, has he?

After dinner was ready, the rest of the family hadn't returned yet, so Chen Zhi went to take a shower. When she took off her clothes, she realized that the slingshot was still hanging around her neck.

The slingshot was quite heavy, and she hadn't even noticed.

The slingshot hung around her neck, swaying back and forth, getting in the way. After a while, she found a rope and hung it around her waist.

The villagers made their own rope from hemp they grew themselves. Chen Zhi thought the rope at home was a bit rough, so she simply divided it into several strands, braided it, threaded it through a slingshot, and hung it around her waist.

After dark, no one noticed the dark slingshot at Chen Zhi's waist.

The next morning, Chen Mu noticed the slingshot at her waist and reached for it, but Chen Zhi slapped his hand away without hesitation, saying, "Don't touch it!"

"Where did it come from?" Chen Mu's eyes burned with desire.

"Borrowed from Xi Lang." Chen Zhi didn't mention that it was a gift from Xi Lang.

"Let me see." Chen Mu didn't give up and reached out again.

Chen Zhi still refused to give it to him and ran away. Chen Mu was furious and chased after her.

One ran, and the other chased.

"Xi Lang said he won't let anyone else use it. If you want to see it, go ask Xi Lang yourself."

"You show it to me, but he won't know."

"I won't give it to you, I won't give it to you. You guys played with slingshots before, and you still wouldn't let me touch them."

"I'll lend it to my brother for the day, and I'll let you play mahjong."

"You used to have slingshots, but you never managed to shoot a sparrow."

Chen Zhi was completely unresponsive to reason.

Chen Da also walked over. "Where did you get that slingshot?"

"Xi Lang lent it to her." Chen Mu panted. When did this girl run so fast?

Chen Gui asked, puzzled, "Why did Xi Lang lend it to her?"

Chen Mu: "Who knows?"

As they were about to leave, no one was able to borrow the slingshot from Chen Zhi.

"Mom, do you think Zhizhi has taken a liking to Xilang?" Chen Ye asked meaningfully as she watched Chen Zhi walk away.

Mrs. Chen frowned. "Xi Lang is not a good match."

"But many girls in the village liked the educated youth. They said that the educated youth were cultured, knowledgeable, polite, and not rude." This is not something Chen Ye said nonsense; everyone naturally has a filter on the educated youth who came from the city.

However, most of the educated youth looked down on the girls in the village.

"Mom, if Zhizhi and that Xilang get together, would you approve?"

"No way!" Mrs. Chen blurted out. "That Xi Lang is so thin, he only earns seven work points a day, and he's inconsistent in his work. He doesn't even earn enough to support himself, how can he support his wife and children!"

Not to mention that Xi Lang has a very sinister aura, which makes people feel uncomfortable.

"I'm afraid my sister won't listen to us. Last time you told her not to associate with Xi Lang, did she listen?" If you ask me, Chen Zhi and Xi Lang are quite a good match, both of them have bad reputations in the village.

"She has no choice but to listen. I'm her mother, and I have the right to discipline her!"

Chen Zhi, who was aiming his slingshot at a small tree not far away, suddenly sneezed, his aim went astray, and he missed.

"Still a little short!"

Chen Zhi picked up the stones again, feeling that she had improved even more today, with a hit rate of fifty percent. Not only that, she also clearly felt that her eyesight had improved; even a small insect dozens of meters away could not escape her eyes.

Chen Zhi felt she could try hunting pheasants. Full of ambition, she headed towards the spot where she had found the pheasants the day before.

From a distance of twenty or thirty meters, Chen Zhi saw two pheasants foraging in the grass.

She held her breath and aimed her slingshot at the fatter one of them—

The pheasant, unaware of the approaching danger, continued to leisurely peck at the grass.

With a whoosh, a small pebble struck the pheasant's body at incredible speed.

Hehe!

The pheasant that was hit hopped twice and then collapsed.

The other one was startled and flew up to a small tree nearby.

They didn't run away!

Chen Zhi's eyes lit up. Hiding behind a tree, only her eyes showing, she continued to aim at the chickens in the distance, stretched the rubber band, and then released it, sending the pebble flying.

This time I missed, but knocked down a few leaves.

The pheasant was startled again and clucked away.

Chen Zhi rushed over, put the dead pheasant into her basket, and without checking it, chased after the pheasant in the direction it had fled.

The pheasant ran fast, and Chen Zhi was just as fast. Together, they quickly crossed the hilltop. Chen Zhi aimed her slingshot at the pheasant several times along the way, but missed each time. This only fueled her competitive spirit, and she relentlessly pursued the pheasant.

The man and the chicken ran around in the mountains for more than an hour.

Chen Zhi chased the pheasant so frantically that it lost its way, and finally shot it down with a slingshot.

Chen Zhi felt satisfied the moment she saw the pheasant fall.

She has one, and Xi Lang has one; that's perfect.

Chen Zhi walked over, picked up the pheasant, brushed off the weeds from its body, and tossed it into her basket. Suddenly, a chill ran down her spine, as if she were being watched by something terrifying.

Chen Zhi slowly turned her head and saw a dark, wild boar with long tusks that had appeared two or three meters away.

When did it arrive?

Chen Zhi had heard of wild boars in the mountains before, but in previous years, militiamen would go into the mountains with guns to hunt them every year, and in recent years, wild boars have become rare. Nowadays, the more common animals in the mountains are various birds, squirrels, weasels, and pheasants.

The older generation says that wild boars in the mountains are indiscriminate in their consumption of both meat and vegetables; some are afraid of people, while others are man-eaters. Wild boars are good at assessing situations. If a wild boar is small, it will mostly not dare to provoke humans and will even take a detour. If a wild boar is large and a human is relatively thin, then they can only hope for the best.

At the time, Chen Zhi didn't understand and asked, "What are you asking for?"

The old man laughed, "I hope you've encountered a gentle wild boar."

Chen Zhi looked at the tall, fat wild boar in front of her, with its large yellow tusks and fierce-looking eyes. Just as she was hesitating whether to bow in all directions, she saw the wild boar grunt and charge at her.

"Help!"

Chen Zhi took off running.

This time, it was her turn to be the one fleeing for her life.

What goes around comes around; no one escapes the wrath of Heaven.

Chen Zhi finally understood the profound meaning of those words. One minute she was the hunter, and the next she had become the prey.

To survive, Chen Zhi kept circling in the woods. She was extremely grateful that her speed and strength had increased, otherwise she wouldn't be able to run at this point.

But this wild boar is no pushover either. Despite its large size, it is just as fast and agile.

Chen Zhi continued running into the dense forest, throwing her basket away in her panic.

She thought the wild boar would go and eat the two pheasants, but it didn't even glance at them and was focused on chasing her.

Taking advantage of her slender figure, she weaved between the trees. The wild boar was much stronger than her; relying on its powerful body and rough hide, it rampaged recklessly, snapping and cracking the slender branches as they fell one after another.

She's doomed!

Chen Zhi felt like crying.

At that moment, she stepped on a small stone, slipped, and fell backward onto the ground.

boom!

Chen Zhi winced in pain and quickly sat up. At that moment, the wild boar arrived and rammed its large head straight into her chest.

In a flash, Chen Zhi rolled to the side, the fangs grazing her arm, and the entire pig's head slammed into a large tree beside her with such force that the ground shook.

Chen Zhi's arm was cut open with a long gash, and it stung painfully.

The wild boar seemed a little dazed from the impact, and stood there stunned for a few seconds. Taking advantage of this moment, Chen Zhi quickly got up and continued to run away. The wild boar continued to chase, and then it crashed into the tree several more times, and some wounds appeared on its head.

But it still didn't stop!

She couldn't run anymore.

Chen Zhi grabbed a broken tree branch from the side and swung it fiercely at the wild boar as it charged at them.

Click!

broken.

It's okay, there are more nearby.

Chen Zhi grabbed another tree branch, but before she could swing it, she was knocked over, thrown into the air, and fell heavily to the ground.

My whole body feels like it's going to fall apart.

The wild boar did not let her go and charged at her again.

Chen Zhi's eyes widened as she gripped the branch tightly. The tusks pierced her shoulder, and she took the opportunity to shove the branch into the wild boar's eyes, all the way into its head.

Black, white, and red liquid splattered all over her face. Without looking, she grabbed the boar's tusks and, crying, punched the boar's other eye and nose.

Chen Zhi didn't remember how long she fought, until she was completely exhausted. The wild boar's face was disfigured and it stopped moving.

died?

Chen Zhi wiped away her tears and snot, and kicked the wild boar with her foot, but the wild boar didn't move.

It seems he really is dead.

She slowly moved her body to free herself from under the wild boar, then picked some blood-sealing herbs, chewed them up, and applied them to her wounds.

She had a hole in her shoulder, but fortunately it wasn't too deep. After applying medicine for a while, the bleeding stopped.

And her arm, with a long cut, still stings painfully.

Chen Zhi sat on the ground to recover for a while. Once the bleeding stopped, she went to retrieve her basket and the two pheasants inside.

The basket and pheasant were intact, but the pig was—

Looking at it this way, this pig probably weighs no less than two hundred pounds. Chen Zhi had only ever seen so much meat when the team slaughtered pigs for the New Year. But the pigs in the team belonged to the team, and each household only received a few pounds.

And this wild boar in front of her belongs entirely to her!

Chen Zhi gritted her teeth; she would drag the meat back no matter what.
