The happy little days of the Ye family

Chapter 997 Encountering a Wild Boar

When Ye Xilin's voice came over, Li Guoer happened to find a Gastrodia elata tree, and the vintage looked very good.

Li Guoer vigorously waved the small medicine hoe in her hand and replied happily:

"Wait for me, I'm busy here."

Not knowing if there was anyone else nearby, Li Guoer didn't dare to ask directly what treasure he had found.

Listening to his wife's cheerful voice, Ye Xilin knew that she also had something to gain. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise, revealing two rows of white teeth.

"Okay, I'm not in a hurry here. You can come over after you're done."

This time when they went up the mountain, the two of them only took a small medicine hoe, and it was borrowed from the Tang family.

Ye Xilin regretted it very much. If he had known there were so many good things on the mountain, he should have borrowed two small medicine hoes.

Without a small hoe, Ye Xilin had no choice but to dig in the ground with a machete.

Looking at the four Panax notoginseng trees in a row, Ye Xilin was in a particularly happy mood.

While digging, he muttered in a low voice: "When I go back, I must buy two small medicine hoes. This machete is really not easy to use."

Ye Xilin found a lot of valuable herbs that day, and there was also a wild ginseng tree that was about 15 years old, and its tail was almost sticking up to the sky.

He feels that driving mountains makes more money than raising pigs, so he plans to come here when he has nothing to do.

Maybe he can still make a fortune relying on these herbs in the mountains.

He was so happy that he forgot about the wild boars and wolves on the mountain, and his eyes were filled with money.

Li Guoer finished digging Gastrodia elata and went to look for Ye Xilin, only to see that he had already dug up one Gastrodia elata and was about to dig the second one.

Li Guoer picked up the Tianqi she had just dug out, and her eyes nearly burst into laughter.

"This Tianqi tree is really not small. This tree alone is worth hundreds of coins."

Ye Xilin took the small medicine hoe from Li Guoer's hand, with a face full of pride and elation, and pointed at the other three Pangasius trees as if taking credit.

"There are three more of them. There are four Panax notoginseng trees in total. They will definitely fetch a lot of money."

Li Guoer lightly punched Ye Xilin's shoulder and said with a smile:

"You guys can do it, you have one Gastrodia elata, one wild ginseng, a sack of gold orchid, four Panax notoginseng, and several kilograms of common herbs."

"Let me calculate, this place is worth at least more than twenty taels of silver. This is more than what I usually earn from two months of hunting."

Thinking of this, Li Guoer felt a little sour. Why didn't she have such good luck when she went up the mountain in the past?

If she could find a few more wild ginseng trees, she would have become rich long ago.

Ye Xilin moved very quickly, and in a short time he had dug up the remaining three Panax notoginseng trees.

At this time, the baskets behind the two of them and the sack in Ye Xilin's hand were already full.

Li Guoer raised her head and looked at the sky through the gaps in the leaves. At this time, the sun had begun to set, and they were almost going down the mountain.

"Going further inside is a deep mountain. There are not only wild boars but also wolves inside. You can't go any further."

"And it's getting late now, so we should go back."

"Ouch, ouch, ouch..."

"Ouch, ouch, ouch..."

As soon as he finished speaking, several wolf howls came from the distance.

Even though the sound sounded a bit far away, the two of them couldn't help but become nervous.

Especially Ye Xilin, who had never seen a live wild boar let alone a wolf, so he couldn't help but swallow secretly.

Then I remembered that there were wolves and wild boars in Langshan, and my life would be decided here if I was not careful.

Ye Xilin didn't care about looking for wild ginseng anymore. He shouted loudly in the distance and called back the sweet potatoes and snowballs.

Li Guoer was very strong and snatched the heavier basket from Ye Xilin's hand and carried it on her back.

The sack containing the herbs was also carried casually on her shoulders.

Ye Xilin was holding a relatively light backpack, feeling a little embarrassed.

"You are not used to walking on these mountain roads. When you reach a safe place at the foot of the mountain, you will naturally have to carry these things. I don't want to be taken advantage of."

Ye Xilin also knew that his strength and experience were not as good as his wife, so it was better not to try to hold back her.

Two people and two dogs walked back quickly.

After walking for a while, the sound of the wolf was gradually no longer heard, and the two of them walked slower.

Ye Xilin took the herbs from Li Guoer's shoulder and carried them himself.

On the way, Li Guoer knocked out two pheasants with just a few small stones.

Ye Xilin was very excited when he saw Li Guoer walking over with the pheasant, and his face was filled with admiration.

"Guo'er, you are really amazing. Please teach me. I also want to be like you. I can knock a rabbit unconscious with a small stone."

If he can learn it, there will be no shortage of meat at home in the future.

Although he raised fish and rabbits at home, and he also raised a lot of pigs, these were all sold for money, and he didn't eat much.

Moreover, the Ye family used to have a very average background. Ye Xilin and his family also lived through hard times when they were young, and everyone in the family has become accustomed to being thrifty.

However, there is no shortage of eggs and duck eggs, they are available every day.

After hearing Ye Xilin's words, Li Guoer said very straightforwardly:

"This requires a lot of strength. You probably won't be able to learn it. The prey will have already escaped before the stone is hit."

Ye Xilin: "..."

Ye Xilin secretly complained in his heart: He is so powerful (*?????).

Li Guoer patted Ye Xilin's shoulder generously, looking like a big sister:

"Sister will protect you from now on. As long as you are obedient, I will ensure that you enjoy the delicious food and drink spicy food."

"Okay, I'll just rely on you, madam, from now on." Ye Xilin smiled, looking very clumsy.

His wife is willing to support him. Of course, Ye Xilin will not refuse such a good thing.

The two were talking happily when a sound of wild boars came from not far away, and there was more than one sound.

Following the sound, the two of them looked to the left.

Not far away, there was a large wild boar with three two-month-old piglets.

There happened to be some sweet potatoes growing there, and a family of four was eating.

The big wild boar worked hard to dig out the sweet potatoes from the ground, while the other three little piglets happily ate the sweet potatoes.

The four wild boars were enjoying their meal and did not notice Li Guoer and the others.

Li Guoer signaled Ye Xilin and the two dogs to quiet down:

"Generally speaking, if you don't provoke them, wild boars will not attack people. We can just leave quietly."

Li Guoer was an experienced hunter, so Ye Xilin naturally listened to her and quietly walked down the mountain with his two dogs.

After walking a few steps, Ye Xilin secretly looked back and saw that the wild boars were still eating sweet potatoes and did not notice them.

The two walked for a while, until they could no longer see the wild boar, Ye Xilin felt relieved.

But Li Guoer felt a little pity.

This place was still halfway up the mountain, too close to the mountains. If there was too much movement, Li Guoer was afraid of provoking the wolves in the mountains.

Otherwise, she would have beaten this big fat pig back anyway.

A large wild boar weighing more than 200 kilograms can be made into bacon for a year.

Although the big wild boar was lost, there were still two pheasants and two hares.

It’s too late today, braised rabbit, pheasant stewed with potatoes, morels and pheasant soup can all be arranged tomorrow.

Of course, these delicious foods made Li Guoer feel a lot better.

As for Ye Xilin, although he was no longer nervous, he had also calmed down. He was no longer thinking about money like he was on the mountain just now.

Next time I go up the mountain, I’d better find a few more skilled people to go with me.
