Chapter 122: Chapter 122 Let the Guilt Come More Fiercely Write! (580 Monthly Tickets)_1
This is quite the bountiful harvest!
He Tiantian smiled and lifted her little chin, saying, "Those two big wild boars are already our prey. Follow me, they’re just ahead."
"Wow, impressive!" Xiang Rong gave a thumbs up, they had brought ropes and firewood knives with them.
The two followed He Tiantian to the mountain crevasse, which was surrounded by flat terrain. The surface of the crevasse was about five to six meters wide, with a depth of around ten meters.
"The rope is long enough to pull them up; we’ll go down first and tie the rope around the wild boars," Zuo Li suggested and climbed down alongside the edge of the crevasse.
Although it was steep, there were rocks on the side to step on and grab onto, and Zuo Li, along with Xiang Rong, descended smoothly.
After securing the rope, Zuo Li climbed back up while Xiang Rong remained below to drag the boars.
He Tiantian also came over and stood behind Zuo Li, saying, "Uncle Zuo, let me help you!"
"No need, you rest on the side," Zuo Li replied with a smile, thinking that He Tiantian, a young girl, probably didn’t have much strength.
"Let’s try; if it works, Uncle Xiang won’t need to climb up from below, and then climb down again later," He Tiantian insisted. She was very strong, and it was better for more people to know about it. That way, when she did something astonishing in the future, they would be somewhat prepared!
"Hehe," Zuo Li laughed and said, "Alright then, I’ll count to three and we’ll pull hard!"
"Okay!" He Tiantian answered.
"We’re ready down here, you can start pulling up!" Xiang Rong yelled from below, noting that each wild boar was huge, each probably weighing over 250 pounds.
"One two three!" Zuo Li called out the cadence.
He Tiantian exerted herself and pulled hard, the weight felt dead heavy.
Nevertheless, it went smoothly, and by combining their efforts, it took them three minutes to finally drag up the first large wild boar.
When pulling up the second wild boar, as soon as it was off the ground, Xiang Rong quickly climbed up from the crevasse and stood behind He Tiantian to pull the rope together.
"One two three, one two three..."
There’s strength in numbers, and this time they were faster, getting it done in two minutes.
The three of them sat on the ground resting, gasping for air.
"These two big wild boars are so huge; the three of us can’t carry them back!" He Tiantian made a face. Even if Zuo Li and Xiang Rong were not around, she couldn’t use the Barrier Space. A young girl carrying two big wild boars would surely scare people to death!
Xiang Rong thought for a moment and said, "Girl Tian, you hurry down the mountain and call for more people from the village. Bring some thin ropes, and we’ll tie up some frames and drag them back."
He Tiantian nodded, "Alright then, I’ll run down the mountain now. Right, there’s blood on the wild boars, you guys be careful, and don’t attract any other wild animals."
Zuo Li chuckled and pulled out a packet of green grass clippings from his pocket, which was very pungent. He showed it to everyone and said, "With this stuff around, no fierce animals will come near."
He Tiantian suddenly realized why the two large wild boars only chased her and not Zuo Li or Xiang Rong; so that was the reason.
She... she seemed to have wrongly blamed the Snake King!
She thought the Snake King had been mocking her all along!
After several months of hiking up and down the mountain, He Tiantian had developed remarkable speed in her legs.
With matters weighing on her mind and a tone of guilt, He Tiantian mumbled to herself, "Gurulu gurulu mi..."
There was no movement, and the Snake King didn’t come out as soon as he called like before.
The Snake King was angry!
No worries, she just needed to apologize. He Tiantian continued to chant, "Gurulu Gurulu Mi, Gurulu Gurulu Mi······"
If he didn’t come out, she would keep chanting!
She couldn’t feel at ease without apologizing to the Snake King!
"What’s up?" The Snake King shook his head, sounding quite impatient.
"Snake King, I’m sorry. I wrongly accused you just now. Those two wild boars kept chasing me because Uncle Zuo and Uncle Xiang had a kind of powder on them that animals are afraid to approach, so they turned to chase me instead," He Tiantian explained. "I thought it was you playing a trick on me, letting those two wild boars chase me incessantly!"
"Hm!" The Snake King nodded, secretly snickering in his heart!
Ha ha ha, at first he indeed didn’t think of pranking He Tiantian, but later, when he saw He Tiantian being amusingly chased by the wild boars, he released some mana······
However, he wasn’t going to tell He Tiantian!
Let He Tiantian persist in her mistake and continue to feel guilty! It would be best if the guilt hit her even harder!
"I’m sorry, can you please not be mad anymore, okay?" He Tiantian was extremely apologetic, completely unaware that she had fallen into her old habit of being too soft-hearted, being sold out by the Little Silver Snake and even helping to count the money!
"Seeing that you are sincere, I will deign to accept your apology," said the Snake King impatiently. "I’m going to cultivate now, don’t disturb me!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" He Tiantian, seeing the Snake King speak, was overtaken with joy, as the Snake King was still pretty good, not angry anymore as soon as she apologized.
Inside the Barrier Space, the Snake King laughed heartily.
Without the burden on her mind, He Tiantian’s pace was even faster, reaching the foot of the mountain in less than half an hour.
Aunt Liu was about to return to the village when she saw He Tiantian sweating profusely and without her bamboo basket, and quickly asked with concern, "Girl Tian, did something happen? Where are Comrade Zuo and Comrade Xiang?"
Hearing Aunt Liu’s words, other people came out one after another, worried that something had befallen Zuo Li and Xiang Rong. Only Old Man Bai was leisurely and at ease, playing chess with Old Man Qi. However, the chessboard was rather crude, drawn directly on the ground; as for the chess pieces, one was using wild apricot pits, while the other was using sour jujube pits.
He Tiantian, gasping for breath, said, "Quick, go tell Village Chief Qi that we spotted two big wild boars on the mountain, but they’re too heavy to bring back. He needs to hurry, take some men, and bring tools to the mountain to retrieve the boars."
"Oh?" Aunt Liu was momentarily stunned, then quickly realized, not a mishap but a fortunate catch. "My, my, two big wild boars, I guess each family could get about two pounds of meat!"
"Hurry up, Aunt Liu, I can’t run anymore, I need to rest." He Tiantian urged, knowing that when it comes to earning merits, everyone should do it together, and it would also make the others happier.
"Alright, I’m on it," said Aunt Liu, always enthusiastic about such tasks, she set aside the pumpkin seeds she was eating and trotted back to the village.
Secretary Qi, hearing the news from Aunt Liu, was even more delighted!
Lately, the village had seen a strong sense of unity, and these events were perfect for allowing everyone to feel the benefits and importance of solidarity.
Secretary Qi picked up some gear, summoned Qi Ergou and seven or eight strong young men from the village, and together they headed for the livestock team.
He Tiantian had already rested and was leading everyone to join forces with Zuo Li and Xiang Rong.
Everyone carried carrying poles, frameworks, ropes, machetes, and the like.
The villagers’ pace wasn’t as fast as He Tiantian’s, it took them over an hour to reach the gap in the mountain, and upon seeing the two big wild boars on the ground, their eyes shone brightly!
