My Beloved Super Fierce Wife
Chapter 491’ was spellbound, the word ’slaughter’ brought back to reality.

Chapter 491: 491’ was spellbound, the word ’slaughter’ brought back to reality.

Lin Tang smiled and placed the little one into her carrying basket.

Without further delay, she quickly headed towards the location of the grunting beast.

Hunting required no code of honor in combat.

Passing through the jungle and spotting a wild boar, Lin Tang aimed and fired.

A sharp whistling sound sliced through the air.

’Whoosh’—

The crossbow bolt pierced the right eye of the large black mass not far away.

"Ow!!!!"

The Black Mountain boar let out ear-piercing wails.

It assumed an attacking stance, ready to charge.

The next second, another crossbow bolt flew, whistling through the air.

It pierced right above between its eyes.

This was the fatal weakness of a wild boar.

After being penetrated, its massive body collapsed with a thundering crash.

The dust and fallen leaves on the ground were blasted high into the air.

Generally speaking, wild boars appeared in groups.

It was either because it was nearing dusk and the big fellows had all gone out to find food, or something else was happening.

There were only three wild boars here.

Lin Tang didn’t think about exterminating them all; after killing three, she decided to call it enough.

She hastily cleaned up the blood stains on the ground, pulled out some hemp rope from the basket, tied the pigs into a string, and dragged them down the mountain.

After resolving the crisis, Lin Tang let Qiuqiu out.

The little meatball saw the three black pigs on the ground, and its tiger face showed a hint of human-like irritation.

Its chubby body bounced and landed on the foremost wild boar.

It made a not-so-mighty and rather silly ’owwoo’ sound.

"Oww..."

While making the sound, its front paws angrily stomped on the boar, pretending to be fierce.

"Pfft..." Lin Tang couldn’t help but laugh at the little one’s antics.

So adorable!

Qiuqiu, hearing the laughter, stopped its actions.

Its wet eyes looked towards Lin Tang, jumping beside her, tightened its paws, and gave her a light tiger punch.

It was really annoyed but also dearly spoiled.

Lin Tang saw that the little one was annoyed and touched her nose.

But with that tiny body of yours, the result of attacking would be either getting kicked away or squashed flat, right?

After all, she had raised this little cutie for no short amount of time; she couldn’t bear the thought of Qiuqiu getting hurt.

She bent down to grab Qiuqiu by the neck, helping to clean the dirt off its paws.

Lin Tang held it in her arms, stroking its fur as a form of apology.

Not wanting to delay further, she dragged the wild boars down the mountain.

She was incredibly strong, had made small marks on the way up, and made her way down smoothly.

Her ease was as if she were simply out for a spring outing.

Lin Tang was utterly content with her current life.

A house, a car, with pets and leisure, family by her side, everyone doing well, plus a fantastic soulmate.

Yikes, she had unwittingly become the ultimate female protagonist.

At that moment—

A dashing, handsome man suddenly appeared from behind a bunch of weeds.

The person was none other than Gu Yingzhou.

The blissful Lin Tang was instantly dumbfounded.

She glanced instinctively at the three wild boars on the ground and rubbed her eyes in disbelief, her voice filled with incredulity.

"Zhouzhou?!"

She wasn’t seeing things, right?!

Her significant other had arrived...

Was her delicate and soft fairy-like image going to shatter into fragments?

Lin Tang’s mind was in turmoil.

Even in such a situation, her face still wore a calm and collected smile.

Hmm, as long as I’m not embarrassed, the awkwardness is someone else’s problem.

Besides, these wild boars died from falling into traps; she was just the transporter.

However, how could she possibly justify moving down from the mountain?

Gu Yingzhou didn’t say a word, walked over, and took the hemp rope used for tying up the pig from Lin Tang’s hands.

"Let’s go down the mountain."

Lin Tang: Huh?

Gu Yingzhou turned to look at her, his cool and peerless brows and eyes took on a layer of doting smile.

"What do you want me to ask?"

Lin Tang was slightly stunned.

Emm, she didn’t know either.

Just felt anxious.

On impulse, she found a topic, "I didn’t go to dangerous places, this was dragged out from a trap set before..."

Nobody would believe that.

"Hmm," Gu Yingzhou responded with a light tone, showing no emotion on his face.

He held the hemp rope in one hand and led Lin Tang with the other, walking down the mountain.

After a while, the man suddenly stopped.

He turned back to look at Lin Tang, his deep black eyes faintly showing streaks of concern.

"I heard there are many wild beasts on Big Blue Mountain, if you want to go up the mountain next time, call me to come with you. Otherwise, I won’t be at ease," Gu Yingzhou said softly.

He didn’t tell Lin Tang not to go up the mountain again but instead, asked her to take him along, giving her a full sense of security and respect.

Lin Tang looked up into Gu Yingzhou’s eyes and said earnestly, "I seldom go up the mountain. I only went up today because we were out of meat at home, and I didn’t want to be impolite, so I ’risked’ going up the mountain."

In fact, going up the mountain wasn’t at all dangerous for her.

She had many ways to protect herself.

But.

In the eyes of others, going up the mountain meant walking into a lion’s den, a matter of life and death, which is why she offered an extra explanation.

Gu Yingzhou thought the young girl went up the mountain hunting for game just to leave a good impression on the Qi brothers.

His heart felt a sour tenderness.

Sour as if he had bitten into a persimmon peel.

After the sourness, there was some sweetness.

With his emotions surging, Gu Yingzhou couldn’t help himself and stepped forward to embrace Lin Tang.

His cool voice was extremely tender, "Tangtang, you don’t have to do this, nothing is more important than your well-being."

Lin Tang’s mind conjured a small question mark.

Hmm, what had she done?

Thinking this, Lin Tang also voiced her thoughts, "I haven’t done anything."

Gu Yingzhou looked down at the petite figure in his arms, his hand gently stroked the back of her head.

"It doesn’t matter if the Qi brothers can’t have meat. Have you ever thought about what I would do if something happened to you on the mountain?"

He couldn’t bear to think about it, or perhaps... he dared not think.

As this thought crossed his mind, Gu Yingzhou’s embrace tightened slightly.

It was a fear that caught him off guard, something he had never felt even when grievously injured or on the brink of unconsciousness.

Lin Tang felt the man’s worry, and her tender little face nuzzled against Gu Yingzhou’s chest.

"I won’t go up the mountain anymore, and even if I do, I’ll call you to come with me. Is that okay?"

The young girl’s voice, buried in his embrace, sounded buzzing, and Gu Yingzhou’s eyes filled with a gentle smile.

"Hmm, remember what you said, don’t forget," he whispered in admonition.

His warm breath tickled Lin Tang’s ear, causing the young girl’s cheeks to blush.

Following her heart, Lin Tang raised her face and planted a light kiss like a dragonfly skimming water on Gu Yingzhou’s jaw, quickly pulling away from him.

She rubbed Qiuqiu’s soft fur, her smile blooming like flowers.

"Let’s hurry down the mountain. We still need to find someone to butcher the pig later."

Gu Yingzhou was still distracted by that cotton-soft yet fleeting kiss.

The next moment, Lin Tang’s mention of butchering the pig pulled him back to reality.

He shook his head helplessly and looked at the large pig on the ground, asking, "Are you going to hand over this pig to the brigade?"

Lin Tang nodded, "Yes, hand it over."

Ever since that time when everyone killed the wild boars that had rushed down the mountain and damaged the crops, the brigade office proposed a new distribution rule.

Small game caught from the mountain could be kept by the individual.

Large game was to be handed over to the brigade, which would distribute it uniformly, but the person who caught it would receive work points.

How many work points you get mainly depends on the size of the game.

So handing over the wild pig to the brigade, she wasn’t worried about being shortchanged.

Money or grain would be shared at the end of the year, so it might as well be saving up.
