Su Xiaoqi was struck by Zhao Baoyi and couldn't move on the ground, tears streaming down from the pain.
Recalling her jinxed nature, she gritted her teeth and wished for a wild beast to appear and kill him.
As soon as the words left her mouth, everyone heard the roar of a wild boar.
Before long, the thatched millhouse began to shake.
Someone shouted, "A wild boar is coming, a wild boar is coming!"
"Son of a bitch, run! It's really a wild boar, it's going to bite people, run!"
Su Xiaoqi was filled with depression. Jinx, jinx, ptooey, ptooey, ptooey...
Shen Xiaomei's legs trembled with fear, tears and snot smearing her face.
"Xiaomei, run!" Su Xiaoqi shouted at her, seeing her still standing there blankly.
"Sister-in-law, I'm scared..." Shen Xiaomei cried, but then, remembering Su Xiaoqi's life-saving efforts, she trembled and reached out to help her up.
The surrounding people had all fled, and the wild boar had lost its target.
A pair of small, upturned eyes fixed intently on the two sisters left alone in the grass shed.
It roared and charged, knocking down the shed like a giant boulder.
There was no escape. Su Xiaoqi instinctively pulled Shen Xiaomei behind the stone mill and closed her eyes.
In the blink of an eye, a furious roar erupted: "Beast!"
Disturbed, the wild boar looked towards the doorway but, due to its immense inertia, couldn't stop itself from colliding with the stone mill.
With a loud "bang," Su Xiaoqi felt a splash on her face. She opened her eyes, wiped her face, and looked at her palm, which was covered in blood.
Then, looking down at the wild boar, its head bleeding from the impact, lying silently on the ground, her mouth formed an 'o' shape.
Shen Yun, standing at the doorway, quickly stepped forward, checked the boar's crushed nose, and said in a low voice, "It's dead."
Su Xiaoqi blinked, looked at Shen Yun in front of her, then at the wild boar at her feet, a strange feeling rising in her heart.
Meanwhile, Shen Yun was also looking at her. He knew there were wild boars in Yuanbao Mountain.
But they rarely ventured into the village settlement. That they would appear today, could it be related to her?
Sensing Shen Yun's gaze, Su Xiaoqi lowered her head.
If he knew her jinx had summoned it, would he burn her as a monster?
She let out an awkward laugh, "That's great, the wild boar is dead, we have a free pig, we can eat meat."
Shen Yun looked at the pig's blood smeared on her face and felt a sense of admiration for her thought process.
At the same time, he felt she was so different from other women.
Seeing such a fierce beast as a wild boar, it would be normal for her to be as terrified as Xiaomei, right?
Why would she be planning to eat its meat like this?
However, seeing that she still remembered to pull Xiaomei to safety in the critical moment, his tone softened, and he gestured outside, "The meat distribution team is here."
Su Xiaoqi was taken aback, then heard the clamor and saw a large group of strong men arriving with hoes and carrying poles.
Wild boars were formidable, but not invincible.
It was just that they used to hide in the deep mountains, and people dared not enter. Now, one had run into the village.
Driven by the desire to kill the boar and eat its meat, everyone had come.
However, when they got closer, they saw that the wild boar was already dead.
Su Xiaoqi saw some disappointment among them, but more relief.
Fighting a wild boar, even with their numbers, would surely result in injuries.
Now, it was good, everyone could eat meat without getting hurt.
That's right, finders keepers, everyone's eyes were fixed on the boar meat.
After all, they hadn't had meat in a long time. Who could resist?
Su Xiaoqi looked at the undisguised lust in their eyes, then thought of Zhao Baoyi trying to seize their grain earlier, and felt unhappy. She stepped forward and blocked the wild boar.
"We killed this, it has nothing to do with you."
This statement immediately caused a stir among the crowd. One by one, their eyes turned red as they stared at her, like hungry flies.
Such a strong reaction?
Su Xiaoqi was startled.
"The village elder is here, let's listen to the village elder," Shen Yun pulled her aside calmly, his eyes fixed on the hastily arriving Zhao Baoyi.
After Zhao Baoyi heard the details from Shen Yun, he waved his hand and said,
"Alright, since that's the case, everyone go back first and come pick it up when it's been divided."
The crowd disagreed and demanded on the spot, "Hey, why go back to cut? Cut it here, and we'll divide it equally."
