Reborn in the 1980s: Nine Stunning Beauties Get Pregnant Before Marriage

After leaving the mountain god temple, Chen Yongqiang and Ding Wanru continued their journey deeper into Qinglong Mountain, one after the other.

Ding Wanru pushed aside the branches blocking her way and quickened her pace to shorten the distance between herself and Chen Yongqiang.

"Do you think Zhao Laosi is really possessed by an evil spirit?" She recalled the chaotic scene in the Zhao family's courtyard yesterday.

Chen Yongqiang gripped his hunting rifle tightly, his steps unwavering, his eyes scanning the surrounding dense forest warily: "Very likely, some things are hard to say."

In the past, he would have scoffed at this. But now, not only has he been reborn, but he has also obtained a Mountain God System. There are too many things in this world that cannot be explained by common sense.

Ding Wanru sighed softly, "Hopefully, this matter will be over after Zhao Laosi kowtows to Wang Laoshuan and admits his mistake."

"Some things are probably not that simple." Chen Yongqiang still can't see through these things.

The two arrived at the edge of the cliff where the ancient tree stood. Chen Yongqiang was about to step forward to check if the tree had been damaged by wild boars again.

Ding Wanru suddenly stopped and pointed excitedly to the treetop: "Brother Yongqiang, look! This ancient tree has grown new leaves again!"

Chen Yongqiang looked up and saw that, sure enough, tender green shoots were sprouting from the originally withered and yellow tree canopy.

"It seems the treatment for pests and diseases last time really worked." Ding Wanru walked happily to the tree.

Chen Yongqiang remained silent, simply gazing at the ancient tree that had been given a new lease on life.

He went to great lengths to save it. He poured the spiritual spring water from his spatial dimension back and forth several times. If he still couldn't save it, then all his efforts over the past few days would have been in vain.

Chen Yongqiang's gaze suddenly fixed on a mark at the base of the tree. It was a fresh wild boar hoof print, and judging by its size, it was left by the wild boar king.

"It's been here," Chen Yongqiang said in a deep voice, gripping his hunting rifle tightly.

Ding Wanru followed his gaze and exclaimed, "Such a big footprint?"

The hoofprint was deeply embedded in the mud, about the size of a bowl.

"A wild boar king has run out from the depths of Qinglong Mountain," Chen Yongqiang squatted down and measured the size of the hoof prints with his fingers.

"I've been looking for this wild boar king these past few days. Not only is it ruining the crops, but it also seems to have a lingering attachment to this ancient tree."

Ding Wanru looked worriedly at the newly sprouted buds of the ancient tree: "Will it come back? This tree has just started to show signs of improvement."

Chen Yongqiang stood up, his gaze sweeping over the upturned soil and broken bushes around him: "Judging from these marks, it must have been here last night. That beast is very clever; it hides back in the deep mountains at the slightest sign of trouble."

He knew in his heart that if the wild boar king wasn't eliminated, the ancient tree would suffer sooner or later.

The two followed the hoofprints and soon arrived at the large rock wall where wild ginseng had been found.

Chen Yongqiang stopped and turned to Ding Wanru: "Why don't you gather some medicinal herbs around here and go back? It's too dangerous to go any further in."

Ding Wanru shook her head: "I want to go with you. In the deep mountains and forests, if you get hurt, someone will have to take care of you."

Chen Yongqiang knew the girl's stubbornness well; if he insisted on making her go back now, she might secretly follow him.

"Then you'd better stay close and don't get separated from me." He conceded.

Ding Wanru nodded quickly: "Don't worry, I won't run around."

As you continue deeper into the forest, the trees become increasingly dense, with layers upon layers of canopies almost completely blocking out the sunlight.

The air was filled with the damp scent of earth, and the fallen leaves underfoot were soft and moist.

Although this dark and damp environment is not suitable for human habitation, it is a paradise for various rare plants.

Ding Wanru suddenly stopped and squatted down to part a clump of ferns.

"Brother Yongqiang, look!" she whispered, unable to hide her surprise.

Several plants with lush green leaves and distinct stems were seen growing on the rocks. "These are Dendrobium officinale, and it's rare to see them in such good condition."

Chen Yongqiang turned around and glanced at them. "You start picking first, I'll check around."

When he went around to the back of an old banyan tree, he found a fresh pit at the base of the tree, which had obviously been dug out recently.

"Looks like we didn't go in the wrong direction; that wild boar king is passing through here."

When Chen Yongqiang returned, Ding Wanru was putting the last Dendrobium officinale plant into her medicine basket.

"Let's find a place to rest and get something to eat."

The wild boar king has not been found yet, and turning back now is not a practical matter; he must find a safe place to spend the night as soon as possible.

"Okay." Ding Wanru slung her medicine basket over her shoulder and followed.

Not long after, Chen Yongqiang found a flat depression below the rock wall, just big enough for the two of them to take shelter from the wind.

Chen Yongqiang unloaded his hunting rifle from his shoulder and carefully examined the ground: "We'll spend the night here."

Ding Wanru nodded in understanding, put down the medicine basket, and began to clear away the pebbles and dead branches on the ground.

Mr. Chen Yongqiang lit a fire for warmth and then cleverly placed several dry branches on the road, so that if any wild animals approached, they would make a sound.

After doing all that, he sat down by the rock wall and took the pancake that Ding Wanru handed him.

"Aren't you afraid?" Chen Yongqiang took a bite of the sesame seed cake.

Ding Wanru took a sip of water: "What's there to be afraid of? Aren't you here?"

Chen Yongqiang originally wanted to ask if she wasn't afraid of him. In this desolate wilderness, a lone man and woman, if he really had any ill intentions, she would be left helpless.

"I mean... there are only the two of us in these deep mountains." Chen Yongqiang took out a few sweet potatoes grown in his spatial storage and threw them into the fire to roast.

Ding Wanru finally raised her head and smiled, "Brother Yongqiang, I've known you since we were kids. If I can't even trust you, who else in this world can I trust?"

Chen Yongqiang didn't delve deeper into this topic. After a quick bite to eat, he took a short knife from his waist and handed it to Ding Wanru: "You rest here first, I'll go set up a few traps ahead."

After saying that, he picked up his hunting rifle and quickly disappeared into the woods a few dozen meters away.

Chen Yongqiang chose a narrow path with dense wild boar tracks and took out a rope he had prepared from his storage space.

He first tied one end of the rope into a slipknot, and then firmly tied the other end to a tree trunk about the size of a bowl on the side.

Next, he bent down to clear away the fallen leaves on the ground, laid the rope loop in the center of the path, and carefully covered it with a thin layer of soil and fallen leaves.

Finally, he inserted a few thin branches on each side of the rope loop as guides, so that when the wild boar passed by, its hooves would be caught.

To increase the chances of catching a wild boar, Chen Yongqiang also dug out some sweet potatoes from his spatial storage and placed them in the middle of the trap.

"Wild boars are known for their gluttony, so this trap has a high probability of catching them. The only concern is that the rope might not be strong enough."

After making the arrangements, he returned to the camp at the rock face.

"Brother Yongqiang, I just ate a roasted sweet potato, it was so delicious." Ding Wanru handed half a sweet potato to Chen Yongqiang.

Chen Yongqiang reached out and took it. The sweet potato had just ripened in the space, and he hadn't eaten it yet.
