Exile? A mad, wicked woman empties the national treasury to escape famine.

Ji Yunshu nodded thoughtfully.

So that's how it is. If Xie Moyao hadn't explained, she would have really thought that this pig had become a spirit.

Just as I was thinking this, I heard Xie Moyao say again:

"However, the wild boar in your space is quite strong. Judging by its weight, it probably weighs two or three hundred pounds, and it's quite agile."

"When it charged towards us just now, it was so fast! Only wild pigs like this taste so good."

As Xie Moyao spoke, he became quite hungry. The thought of having pork to eat today made him excited, as he hadn't had a proper pork meal in a while.

Ji Yunshu's lips twitched as she listened to his words.

Xie Moyao's mind works really fast. Just a moment ago they were talking about how wary this pig was, and now they're talking about the taste of the pork.

However, she had also heard that the wild boar meat from the mountains tasted especially delicious.

As the two were talking, they saw the wild boar had already reached the place where they had been hiding. It sniffed the spot with its nose, turned its head towards where they were now hiding, and walked over with a wary look on its face.

Xie Moyao remained calm, tightened his grip on Ji Yunshu's waist, and shifted his position again.

This time, instead of hiding under a big tree, he took Ji Yunshu directly to another big tree nearby.

The dense foliage concealed them from view, so the wild boars couldn't see them at all.

Ji Yunshu held Xie Moyao's arm tightly as she stood on the tree and looked down. She saw that the wild boar had returned to the place where they had just hidden.

With its snout out, it kept burrowing around under the big tree, sniffing around as if trying to see if the two of them had left.

Ji Yunshu kept her mouth shut, not daring to breathe, because she was really afraid that the wild boar would raise its head and look at her tree.

After a long while, the wild boar wandered around in the same spot for a while, as if to confirm that she and Xie Moyao had left, before finally limping away.

Xie Moyao glanced at Ji Yunshu, and Ji Yunshu slowly nodded to him.

Xie Moyao carried her down from the tree, and the two followed the direction the wild boar had gone.

The wild boar had been attacked by Xie Moyao before, and it was walking unsteadily with a limp. The two followed it for about half an hour before they saw the wild boar enter a cave.

Ji Yunshu was overjoyed and tried to pull Xie Moyao into the cave, but the entrance was too small for the two of them to fit through.

After thinking about it, I decided to get a super large net from the mall.

She shoved the net she had taken out into Xie Moyao's hand and said:

"This is a net I took from the mall, specifically for catching wild boars. This net is very sturdy; even if several large wild boars get together and pull hard, it won't easily break."

We need to catch a live wild boar, so this net is the only way. Quick, come with me and tie this net up. After we tie it up, we'll think of another way to get the wild boar out.

While you're at it, see if there are any other wild boars in this hole.

Anyway, we've set up nets outside; if those wild boars run out, they'll fall into them."

As Ji Yunshu spoke, she had already put the net she had taken out into Xie Moyao's hands, and was showing him how to tie the net to the trees on both sides.

The entrance to the wild boar's burrow wasn't very big, which made it easy for them to set up their nets.

Xie Moyao nodded and, following Ji Yunshu's instructions, took out the net and tied it around the entrance of the cave.

There were several large trees around the cave entrance, and the net was tied to the trees securely.

As soon as these wild boars come out, they can rush into this net and can't escape.

Soon, the two of them had tied up the net. The opening was a bit small, and neither of them could fit through. Ji Yunshu then took out a few firecrackers from the store and a lighter as well.

She took a lighter, lit the fuse of the firecracker, aimed at the hole, and quickly threw the lit firecracker into the hole.

Then, she and Xie Moyao stepped aside, and Xie Moyao thoughtfully covered her ears with his hand.

Ji Yunshu muttered to herself:

"3".

"2".

"1".

As soon as she finished speaking, a loud bang echoed from the dark cave, followed by a series of pig squeals.

The next second, five or six wild boars rushed out of the hole, all in a hurry, heads down, running around in all directions.

Ji Yunshu and Xie Moyao stood aside and watched as the five or six wild boars fell into the net they had set up, followed by another round of squeals.

After a while, when all five or six wild boars had fallen into the net, Ji Yunshu and Xie Moyao finally went over.

Seeing the five or six wild boars entangled in the net, Ji Yunshu clapped her hands excitedly.

That's great! She thought there were only one or two, or two or three, but there were six in total!

Moreover, these six pigs were all about the same size as the pig they had seen before.

Ji Yunshu also found the pig that Xie Moyao had previously attacked among these six pigs.

Xie Moyao was also quite surprised, not expecting so many wild boars to live in a cave. He looked at Ji Yunshu and asked:

"There shouldn't be any left inside. All the pigs should be here, caught in the net. Now, how do we get them back?"

Can you use your mind to send them directly to the vicinity of the villa?

Upon hearing Xie Moyao's words, Ji Yunshu closed her eyes and tried to use her mind to send the pigs back to the open space near the villa.

She tried it, and when she opened her eyes again, the pigs were still squealing in the same spot.

Ji Yunshu shook her head awkwardly and said, "It seems like that won't work; the distance is a bit too far."

This is a bit of a headache. They came out today and were indeed quite far from the villa. She still can't use her mind to teleport something that far away.

The two men looked at the five or six pigs in front of them and were both amused and exasperated.

Catching a pig is fun for a while, but getting it back can be a real headache.

"What should we do then? If it were just one, we could use a rope to lead it, but with five or six..."

Xie Moyao rubbed his forehead. If all else failed, he could only tie a rope to each pig and pull them away.

Ji Yunshu smiled awkwardly, having been so focused on grabbing the object that she had forgotten about it.

"Then I'll get some ropes from the mall. You pull a few ends, I'll pull... Wait, when we came here, there was an open space in front of us, it was flat."

As Ji Yunshu paused, as if suddenly remembering something, Xie Moyao looked at her and asked in return:

"Hmm, there's an open space not far ahead. Is there a problem?"

Ji Yunshu slapped her thigh and quickly said with a smile:

"Oh dear, it's an open space, and there are no other obstructions around, so we don't need to pull it along!"

"I think we could get a car from the mall, park it in that open space, and then put these pigs on the car. We can then haul them back; that would be much more convenient!"

Hearing what Ji Yunshu said, Xie Moyao pursed his lips. This was indeed a good idea. He nodded and, without saying anything more, gestured for Ji Yunshu to give it a try.
