Chapter 52 Eating the Dependent Offspring
As evening approached, after finishing his meal, Chen Yongqiang slung his hunting rifle over his shoulder and said to Lin Xiulian, "I'm going to take a walk in the mountains."
Lin Xiulian responded, unaware of why Chen Yongqiang still wanted to go hunting at this time.
Chen Yongqiang headed towards Qinglong Mountain behind the village. This time, he wasn't going up the mountain to satisfy his appetite, but rather to hunt some wild rabbits and deliver them to Wang Laoshuan's house.
Rabbit meat was the dish that Wang Laoshuan missed most when he was alive, and Chen Yongqiang thought that he couldn't let Uncle Laoshuan cross the Bridge of Helplessness on an empty stomach.
Not long after, several gunshots rang out from the foot of the mountain.
Ding Wanru's house was close to the foot of the mountain, so she could hear it clearly. "Is Yongqiang hunting up the mountain again?"
She put down the medicinal herbs in her hand and couldn't help but think of the desolate and bleak scene of Wang Laoshuan's funeral.
Ding Wanru sighed, a feeling she couldn't quite describe welling up inside her: "Lin Xiulian is really lucky; she got pregnant not long after she started dating Yongqiang." She herself had diagnosed the pulse.
"The Ding family cannot fall apart in my hands. If I have any children in the future, they must bear the surname Ding," Ding Wanru thought to herself.
The most suitable candidate for a son-in-law would be Chen Yongqiang, but now he and his sister-in-law are living a very happy life, and it seems that he can't get involved.
Ding Wanru glanced again in the direction of Qinglong Mountain, her eyes filled with a hint of stubbornness: "Chen Yongqiang, I will not give up. He is so strong and smart, his children will surely be good. Even if it's just to leave behind a seed, it will be good."
At this time, Chen Yongqiang was unaware that Ding Wanru had designs on him.
He bent down to pick up the rabbit he had just shot, weighed it in his hand, and muttered to himself, "Shooting two more should be enough!"
Just then, the sound of trees falling suddenly came from not far away.
Hearing the sound, Chen Yongqiang looked over and said, "Could someone be stealing trees? That shouldn't be the case."
Qinglong Mountain is so big that if the villagers need firewood, they can just pick up dry branches anywhere. Why would they need to secretly cut down trees at night?
To find out what was going on, he turned on his headlamp and followed the sound. Before he got close, he heard a heavy hoofbeat.
"It's a wild boar." Chen Yongqiang hadn't expected such an unexpected gain.
But when they arrived at the scene, the wild boar had already disappeared, and only a pine tree, about the size of a bowl, had been broken in half and was lying on the ground.
"How big must this wild boar be?" Chen Yongqiang squatted down and carefully examined the wild boar footprints on the ground.
[The scent of the Wild Boar King has been detected. Host, eliminate the Wild Boar King as soon as possible to ensure the safety of the villagers!]
[Completing the task will reward you with: 100 points of Fortune, and the Heart of the Wild Boar King (the core ingredient for refining Body Tempering Pills)]
Upon seeing the message, Chen Yongqiang picked up his gun and gave chase: "It seems that if this beast isn't eliminated, he'll bring disaster to the villagers sooner or later."
Most importantly, there was also the medicinal ingredient for the Body Tempering Pill, but after tracking along a mountain path, the Wild Boar King's trail vanished as if it had evaporated.
"A boar designated as the King of Wild Boars by the system is indeed extraordinary; it probably already possesses some sentience." He held up his headlamp and shone it around, only to find a few bristles.
We were unprepared tonight and never expected to run into the wild boar king. Since we've already alerted the beast, we have no choice but to head back.
Chen Yongqiang walked back along the country road, the halo of his miner's lamp flickering on the dirt road.
"Brother Yongqiang! You've gone hunting in the mountains again?" Ding Wanru's voice came from inside the courtyard.
He stopped and saw Ding Wanru standing by the fence: "Yes, I went for a walk and caught a few wild rabbits."
Ding Wanru noticed the bag of loot hanging from his waist: "Could I have one?"
She wasn't really craving the wild game; she just wanted an excuse to talk to Chen Yongqiang.
"Sure." Chen Yongqiang readily took off a wild rabbit, walked to the gate, and handed it over.
During the handover, he specifically reminded me, "If you're going into the mountains to collect herbs, remember to call me. Things haven't been peaceful in the mountains lately; it looks like a herd of wild boars has arrived."
Hearing his instructions, Ding Wanru took it as special concern, and her cheeks flushed slightly: "I know, I'll definitely call you then."
When she took the rabbit and saw Chen Yongqiang, her heart would involuntarily race, especially after having that absurd thought, which made the feeling even stronger.
Before she could say anything more, Chen Yongqiang had already turned and left.
When Chen Yongqiang opened the door, Lin Xiulian saw him returning from hunting and started boiling water.
He squatted in the corner of the yard processing the remaining five wild rabbits, planning to deliver the rabbit meat to Wang Laoshuan's house. As for the intact rabbit skins, he could dry them and sell them for a few dollars.
The wolf cubs excitedly ran over as soon as they smelled blood, circling around Chen Yongqiang's trouser legs.
Under Chen Yongqiang's careful feeding, it has grown quite a bit. Its original gray-black fur has gradually turned silver-gray, and it has begun to show the majestic appearance of a wolf.
Chen Yongqiang cut off the rabbit's internal organs and tossed them to the eager little creature: "Eat more, grow up quickly!"
Sirius immediately pounced on it and began to devour it, letting out a satisfied whimper.
Under the dim light, the wolf cub's teeth gleamed coldly between its flesh and blood, and in its golden pupils, one could already glimpse the shadow of a top predator.
The next morning, Chen Yongqiang brought five wild rabbits that he had prepared the night before to Wang Laoshuan's house.
Wang Demin has arrived; it's unclear whether he returned last night or this morning.
He had a white cloth wrapped around his head, and a seven or eight-year-old boy stood beside him; it was his son. But his wife was nowhere to be seen.
Inside the courtyard, Wang Demin and Yang Dahai were standing in the corner, arguing quietly about something.
Chen Yongqiang was too far away to hear clearly, but he could see Wang Demin waving his hand and shaking his head from time to time.
He carried the wild rabbits into the kitchen and handed them to Li Caifeng, who was busy at work: "Sister Caifeng, I've cleaned these wild rabbits. They're perfect for adding to the dishes for the villagers who came to help."
Li Caifeng wiped her hands on her apron and took the rabbit: "Yongqiang, you're so thoughtful. Old Shuan loved this when he was alive."
Chen Yongqiang glanced into the courtyard and asked, "What are Uncle Demin and the village chief arguing about?"
As Li Caifeng put the wild rabbit into the basin, she sighed, "It's all because of the matter of raising the banner and smashing the basin."
"Old Yang wanted Demin's son to carry the funeral banner, but Demin refused no matter what. You know, he's a son-in-law who married into the family, and his child took his mother's surname. His wife repeatedly told him before she left that her son shouldn't be involved in these funeral customs, for fear of ruining their luck in the city."
She picked up the spatula and stirred the porridge, then added, "But someone has to carry the banner and lead the way before the coffin, and Old Man Shuan has no descendants, so it's even more inappropriate for an outsider to do it."
Chen Yongqiang understood after hearing this. After all, this was someone else's family matter, and he, as an outsider, couldn't help.
At this moment, Zhao Laosi led his fifteen-year-old son to the altar and pressed the child down to kowtow to Wang Laoshuan's wife to acknowledge her as his godmother.
Zhang Shen shook his head repeatedly: "This will not be allowed!"
Yang Dahai stepped forward to stop him: "Zhao Laosi, what are you doing?"
Old Zhao's eyes darted around: "We're all from the same village, we're just seeing how lonely this old man is!"
Chen Yongqiang watched the scene coldly. Zhao Laosi had clearly taken advantage of Wang Laoshuan's family's lack of offspring and wanted to exploit them.
