If you don't consummate the marriage for three years and then marry a successful educated youth

Wen Yao poked her head out of the cave and said softly, "Okay, I understand. Go and come back quickly."

After everyone left, they climbed down the vines, took out the grain from their baskets, started a fire in the stove, and waited for Jiang Lie to return. They could then wash their hands and eat. The piece of cured meat was steamed in the rice and tasted delicious.

He didn't return for more than half an hour, carrying an even bigger wild boar on his shoulder and a pheasant still dripping blood in his hand.

"Ah Lie is back. My dinner is ready, just in time to eat."

"Okay, let's eat the pheasant tonight. We'll eat what we brought for lunch and head down the mountain early tomorrow morning to go home."

Wen Yao nodded obediently and handed over a large bowl, which was filled with more than half rice and cured meat: "I only brought one pot, so it's not very convenient to stir-fry. I just made rice and steamed cured meat."

"Here are some pickled bamboo shoots that Mom gave me. They're great with rice. You should try them. Tonight, we'll use this pot to make chicken soup. It'll be perfect to eat it with some dry steamed buns while it's still warm."

Jiang Lie nodded and said, "Okay."

"Hunter, where did you find these two wild boars? You're really lucky."

"Ha, I think so too. I originally saw a silly roe deer and was chasing after that silly man, but I didn't expect to see these two cute wild boars. It's a good opportunity to send them to their deaths together."

Wen Yao looked at the larger one and asked softly, "So, is that bigger one a sow?"

"Yes, I checked and there are no piglets. Sow meat doesn't taste good, but it's still meat, so let's not be picky. With some seasoning, it still tastes pretty good."

"I understand. Sow meat is a bit tougher, but if you make braised pork, the texture is not much different from beef. You can braise it."

The two were eating and chatting when they suddenly heard gunshots. Jiang Lie quickly put down his bowl, looking alert, and said, "Wife, go into the cave and eat slowly. I'll go see what's going on."

Wen Yao looked west: "Gunshots. You only have a bow and arrows on you. Will it be dangerous if you go? Keep all your medicine with you and be careful. If you notice anything wrong, come back immediately and don't take any risks."

"Yes, I know, don't worry."

The person disappeared in a flash.

Listening to the commotion over there, Jiang Lie estimated that it was about time, so he jumped up the tree and looked over there. When he saw it clearly, his mouth twitched violently. He only saw a figure jumping up and down.

A swarm of bees chased and stung him from behind. The man cried out in pain, firing his shotgun haphazardly, not caring if he hurt anyone.

"We can't get close. That person is already distracted. What if he shoots me? Let's wait. Bees won't kill anyone in a short time anyway."

With his last bullet gone, Yang Chunsheng, carrying his hunting rifle, kept swatting away the bees on his body, crying out, "Help! Someone, please save me!"

Jiang Lie saw that he was running in the same direction he had come from. If he let him run around, he might attract the bees to the cave and they might sting his wife. That wouldn't do.

He jumped down from the tree and whistled, "Hey, you jumping around like that, come with me. I know where the river is. Jump in and cover your scent so the bees won't chase you."

When Yang Chunsheng heard this voice, he almost burst into tears. "Oh no, there's hope! There are survivors in the mountains!"

Turn around and run in the direction of the whistle.

Sure enough, less than ten minutes later, a waterfall appeared in front of them, and Jiang Lie's voice came: "Go to the calmer part downstream, jump in and don't surface, or the bees will leave."

Seeing that he was trying to run towards him, Jiang Lie's pupils shrank: "Go over there, don't come this way, or don't blame me for beating you up."

Yang Chunsheng looked at the vine in his hand, then hurriedly ran to a calmer spot downstream, plunged into the water, held his breath, and watched the bees hovering above him, listening to their buzzing as they descended.

She covered her mouth and held it in until the buzzing stopped before daring to peek out, panting heavily: "Mom, I'm so glad I survived! It hurt so much!"

Jiang Lie sat on a large rock, looking at his pig-like face, a smile flashing in his eyes: "Brother, which brigade are you from? Why are you the only one going up the mountain to hunt?"

"Well, I'm Yang Chunsheng from Huaihua Brigade. Brother, thank you for saving me, otherwise I would have been stung to death by these bees today."

"How did you manage to provoke the bees? Luckily you didn't provoke the bumblebees, or you'd be dead today."

Yang Chunsheng hurriedly climbed ashore, glanced at the wet hunting rifle, and sighed. "I wonder if it will get damaged from being soaked in water. If Grandpa finds out, he'll definitely skin me alive."

Looking up, she said somewhat embarrassedly, "I... I was originally with the hunters, but I accidentally went astray and got a little tempted by that beehive."

"Oh, and then you went to destroy the beehive."

"...Um, yes, that's how it is. I was originally thinking of getting some honey back, and if I got it quickly, I should be able to shake off those bees. But I didn't expect them to keep chasing me."

Jiang Lie glanced at the sun, stepped down from the large rock, and slowly walked over: "Where is your hunting team? I'll take you back. Don't get lost in these mountains; a person who gets lost will be trapped and die here."

We can't let this guy wander off. What if he goes somewhere he shouldn't and discovers something? We should send him back to their hunting team as soon as possible and find out why they came to this mountain.

"Do you remember where they were?"

"It seems to be at the neck of Niujiaoshan Mountain. Um, that's what I heard them say. They said they also rest there at night. There's an open space there that's perfect for resting at night."

Jiang Lie waved: "Let's go, I know where it is. I'll take you back. Don't wander off again. Also, where's the honey you mentioned? Is this road on your way?"

Yang Chunsheng nodded repeatedly: "Brother Benefactor, it's on the way, in the direction I came from. I haven't been running for long, it shouldn't be too far. Let's go and look for it."

"Brother, do you want some honey too? But it stings! What if you get stung? Look at my face and arms, they're all swollen and it hurts so much."

"...Hmm, I have a way to avoid being stung, hurry up and catch up."

"My benefactor, be careful not to get stung."

"No, I have a first-aid kit on me, I'll be fine."

Jiang Lie hung up his medicine bag, drew his wood-chopping knife, and charged forward. With a few swift strokes, he watched as pieces of beehive fell into his basket. Before the bees could react, he turned and ran without a word.

"Yang Chunsheng, run now!"

"Oh my goodness, I'm coming! My benefactor, wait for me!"

The two ran for half an hour and shook off the bees. Jiang Lie pointed to the hillside: "Come on, just go over the hillside and down there. Follow the hunters and don't get lost again, it's dangerous in the mountains."
