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

Chen Yongqiang pulled Qin Shan aside: "Uncle Qin, I'll have to trouble you to take care of things here. I need to raise money; the wages for so many people are no small sum."

Qin Shan looked worried upon hearing this: "Where are you going to get the money all of a sudden?"

Chen Yongqiang looked up at the misty Qinglong Mountain: "Of course, I'll go to the Mountain God to borrow some travel expenses."

His forte has always been the mountains and forests.

These days, a wild boar weighing around 100 pounds can fetch enough money to support a family for more than half a year if sold in town.

As Qin Shan watched his figure disappear into the woods, he recalled the plump roe deer from yesterday and immediately understood seven or eight parts of the situation.

He turned to the villagers who had already begun cleaning the ground and clapped his hands: "Everyone, give it your all! Comrade Yongqiang will definitely not let us down!"

Chen Yongqiang returned home, retrieved his hunting rifle, and filled his ammunition pouch with bullets.

Lin Xiulian was hanging clothes to dry in the yard when he went over and said, "I'm going up the mountain for a bit, I'll be back later."

"Be careful." Lin Xiulian brushed the water droplets off her hands and watched him leave.

When I passed by Ding Wanru's house, she was drying herbs in her yard.

Upon seeing Chen Yongqiang, her eyes lit up: "Brother Yongqiang, are you going into the mountains? I was just about to go gather herbs..."

Before he could finish speaking, a cough came from not far away, and a fellow villager slowly walked over: "Dr. Ding, my cough has flared up again."

Ding Wanru looked at Chen Yongqiang and said, "It seems I can only accompany you up the mountain next time." Then she went to help the fellow villager.

Chen Yongqiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although Ding Wanru recognized herbs, he always had to take her with him when he went up the mountain, which inevitably reduced the efficiency of hunting.

Acting alone today actually allows me to be more unrestrained.

Upon reaching the mountainside, Chen Yongqiang, as usual, entered the mountain god temple and offered three sticks of incense to the mountain god statue.

Just as I lit the incense, a clear, ringing sound suddenly echoed in my mind:

[Tree Planting Mission: Three trees on the eastern slope of Qinglong Mountain have been damaged by the Wild Boar King. Please go and replant them. Reward: 20 Blessing Points]

"It's that wild boar king again." Chen Yongqiang shouldered his hunting rifle and turned towards the eastern ravine.

Sure enough, in three depressions arranged in a triangular pattern, he found tree stumps that had been gnawed bare by wild boar tusks, with scattered trees uprooted and knocked down around them.

Chen Yongqiang stored the fallen tree into his system space, which provided some food for the termite colony.

Then, they dug up several healthy linden saplings from nearby and replanted them, carefully watering each sapling with spiritual spring water.

The moment the spring water seeped into the soil, the saplings' branches and leaves unfurled at a speed visible to the naked eye.

[Task completed, 20 Blessing Points have been issued]

The system notification sounded as expected, but Chen Yongqiang's expression was solemn.

He stared at the fresh, large hoof prints in the mud and gripped the gun handle tightly: "As long as this wild boar king is not eliminated, this mountain forest will never have peace."

Chen Yongqiang, carrying his hunting rifle, continued walking deeper into the mountains, moving silently like a shadow in the forest.

As we rounded a birch grove, two hazel grouse suddenly took flight from the bushes.

He quickly raised his gun and aimed, and with a gunshot, a hazel grouse fell to the ground.

"This hazel grouse is quite rare." He picked up the still-flapping wild bird, tied it up, and hung it around his waist.

While crossing the stream, we encountered a greyhound gnawing on a pine cone.

The little creature was about to dart away when it heard the noise, but the shotgun had already spat out sparks.

Chen Yongqiang picked up the furry prey and weighed it in his hand: "The hide can be used to make an ear warmer."

In the afternoon, he discovered fresh footprints in the oak forest, the very tracks of the wild boar king.

Following the intermittent hoofprints for about two miles, a group of wild boars, about ten in number, appeared in a forest clearing, rooting in the soil.

Chen Yongqiang scanned the area but did not find the particularly large wild boar king. However, encountering this group was still a considerable gain.

"These guys are too prolific. If we don't control them, the cornfields down the mountain will be doomed by harvest time this fall."

He quietly moved to a sloping hill downwind, where the view was open and there were no obstructions in front of him.

Chen Yongqiang checked the ammunition; the wild boars were still rooting around and grazing, completely unaware.

"Bang—bang—"

The two gunshots rang out almost simultaneously. As the smoke rose, two wild boars fell to the ground, and the herd erupted into chaos, with terrified squeals and frantic fleeing all mixed together.

Chen Yongqiang moved with lightning speed, pressing the ejection button with his thumb, and two scalding hot cartridge cases jumped out.

He quickly pulled out new shotgun shells from the belt and flicked his wrist to reset the barrel.

At that moment, several frightened wild boars were dashing across his path in a panic.

Chen Yongqiang pulled the trigger again.

"boom--"

Another half-grown wild boar stumbled and fell to the ground while running.

Watching the remaining wild boars disappear into the depths of the dense forest, Chen Yongqiang did not give chase, knowing that this disturbance would prevent them from catching up.

He reloaded his shotgun. This time he only managed to shoot three wild boars.

"Not bad, we've almost covered the wages for repairing the pool." Chen Yongqiang looked at the three wild boars lying on the ground, two large and one small, and nodded in satisfaction.

With a slight thought, the three wild boars disappeared from their original spot and were stored in the system space.

As darkness fell, Chen Yongqiang slung his hunting rifle over his shoulder and headed down the mountain.

Meanwhile, in the pine forest on another hilltop, the massive wild boar king was mating with a female wild boar.

It suddenly stopped moving, raised its head, its large nostrils twitched violently, and its fangs gleamed coldly in the sunlight.

The wild boar king seemed to sense the plight of its tribe, letting out a low, angry howl. Its blood-red eyes were fixed on the direction Chen Yongqiang had left, and its front hooves were furiously pawing at the ground.

Chen Yongqiang paused, the violent roar of the beast piercing through the woods as if it were right next to his ear.

He turned to look at the mountains where the sound came from, his right hand instinctively tightening its grip on the butt of his rifle.

Today we caught three wild boars, and it was getting late.

Chen Yongqiang did not choose to give chase, but turned around and continued down the mountain, keeping his gun at a wary angle.

Back at the foot of the mountain, in a secluded spot, he subtly moved his mind and took out two wild boars, one large and one small, from his spatial storage. He deliberately covered them in blood before carrying them on his shoulder and heading towards the village. The secret of his spatial storage had to be carefully concealed.

As she passed by Ding Wanru's house, she saw the prey on Chen Yongqiang's shoulder and exclaimed in surprise, "Brother Yongqiang, you caught another wild boar?"

"Hmm, lucky you." Chen Yongqiang stopped and took the hazel grouse hanging from his waist. "I'll make you some soup with this."

Ding Wanru blushed: "How could I possibly accept this..."

"I've put it here for you." Chen Yongqiang placed the hazel grouse on the stone on the courtyard wall and turned to leave.

Ding Wanru took two steps after her: "One of the legs on the bench at my house is wobbly. Could you come and fix it for me sometime when you have time?"

"I understand," Chen Yongqiang replied, knowing that this was Ding Wanru's hint that she wanted to be alone with him.
