I want to protect my family, but you force me to take the lead

"Xiaowei, close the door."

"Xiaohua and Xiaohu, go boil some water. I'll kill the chicken. We'll have chicken stewed with mushrooms tonight."

"Oh yeah!"

"We walked so far today, Nuannuan, go back to the room and rest. I'll call you when it's done."

Qin Nuan did not refute, but nodded obediently and went back to the house.

Qin Nuan was awakened by the smell of meat. She touched her rumbling stomach awkwardly, looked at the things in her backpack again, and then looked at herself, who was only ten years old but as tall as a seven-year-old. She sighed, walked out of the house and into the kitchen.

"Brother, it smells so good."

"Sister is awake."

"It smells good, right? My second brother thinks it smells good too. Hehe..."

The mother-in-law, daughter-in-law and their two companions were hurrying home. As soon as they approached their yard, they smelled the aroma of meat. The three of them looked at each other, then looked at the closed gate, and they understood what was going on.

At the same time, Granny Qin felt a little worried. This was the smell of pheasant meat. These children must have gone into the mountains, but in the mountains...

Thinking of this, he quickly stepped forward and knocked on the gate, "Xiaowei, Xiaohua, open the door, grandma is back."

"Grandma and the others are back. I'll go open the door."

Qin Nuan, who was sitting at the door of the kitchen smelling the aroma of meat, heard a knock on the door and quickly got up and ran to the courtyard door, shouting, "Grandma, Grandma..."

After the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law entered the house, they quickly closed the courtyard door and walked into the kitchen. Seeing the five brothers and sisters who were all intact and uninjured, the three of them felt relieved and took over the work in the hands of the brothers and started to get busy...

Although today's dinner was also wild vegetable porridge, it also included stewed chicken with mushrooms and egg custard. The Qin family enjoyed the meal very much.

After dinner, the head of the family, Qin Dashu, went out with his two sons, carrying five pheasants.

Qin Nuan and Qin Xiaolin looked at each other, then said nothing and quickly went back to their room to sleep.

If not sleep now, when?

If they were questioned by their grandparents, the fact that they had entered the inner circle would be exposed, and they might even have to be beaten with a mixed doubles team.

Thinking of this, Qin Nuan couldn't help but shudder, and then quickly hypnotized herself...

For several days in a row, the brothers and sisters kept bringing things back home. They not only brought back a lot of wild vegetables and mushrooms, but also hunted a lot of pheasants and rabbits.

On this day, the brother and sister entered the inner circle as usual. Qin Nuan sat cross-legged to absorb the fire and wood elements in the air, while Qin Xiaolin dug wild vegetables near her.

Scary~scared…

Qin Xiaolin stopped digging wild vegetables the moment he heard the sound, turned around to look at his sister who was still sitting cross-legged, and then crouched down to look in the direction of the sound.

Wild boar!

One end?

Qin Xiaolin suppressed his excitement and retreated to a place not far from Qin Nuan, standing alert.

When Qin Xiaolin approached, Qin Nuan opened her eyes, looked at her elder brother who always protected her, and called out with a smile: "Brother."

"All right?"

"Uh-huh."

"Nuan Nuan, there is a wild boar. How about we take it back and have a pig-killing meal?"

"Okay."

Looking at Qin Nuan who was smiling with curved eyebrows, Qin Xiaolin said nothing more. He jumped out with a dagger in hand.

Qin Nuan followed closely behind...

bang~

pop~

Ouch…

The brother and sister cooperated tacitly and soon beat the wild boar without any chance of fighting back. Finally, it fell to the ground with a bang, ending its life as a pig.

Qin Xiaolin found some branches and vines, tied them up quickly, and with great effort moved the wild boar onto the branches. Then he put on the backpack and took Qin Nuan with him and walked out of the forest.

"Brother, warm up."

"Wild boar!"

"Sister, how are you? Are you hurt?"

Nuan Nuan shook her head to show that she was fine, and then said quickly: "Second brother, go back and call Grandpa and Uncle."

"Well, let's go. Don't move. Take a rest." Hu Zi said, and ran quickly out of the mountain...

Qin Dashu brought his two sons to the mountain in a hurry. He first looked at the brothers and sisters, and after making sure that they were all right, he looked at the wild boar nearby.

"Oh my goodness! This wild boar must weigh more than 300 kilograms, you guys..."

"Nonsense! You dare to attack such a big wild boar! You are really brave!"

Seeing that they kept their heads down and didn't speak, Qin Dashu glared at Qin Nuan fiercely, raised his hand and slapped his second son who was making a fuss, "What are you making a fuss about? Take him back quickly, and we'll have the pig-killing meal tonight."

"Hey, okay, let's have the pig-killing dish. I haven't had it for almost two years, hehe..."

The eldest brother, Qin Lang, couldn't stand it any longer and kicked the second brother, the food lover, "Hurry up, the work in the field is not finished yet."

"Oh, come on, come on."

The two brothers were carrying the wild boar and walking in front. When the brothers and sisters received a glare from their grandfather, they immediately ran quickly down the mountain.

Qin Xiaolin: It's over! I can't escape the mixed doubles tonight. I wonder if Nuan Nuan will be scolded...

Qin Xiaohua: Grandpa is too fierce, I want to go back to find grandma...

Qin Xiaowei: Slurp! Eat meat! Lots and lots of meat…

Qin Nuan: Grandpa has a very strong aura, not like an ordinary person at all. Grandpa has a secret...

In the village.

The village chief Qin Dashan and the butcher Qin Dagui were already waiting at the Qin family.

After Qin Lang and his brother carried the wild boar into the yard, the head of the family, Qin Dashu, started to get ready.

Boil water and kill pigs.

After all the operations, in addition to pig heads, pig feet, offal, pork fat, etc., there were still more than 280 kilograms of meat.

Qin Dashu discussed it with the old woman, then waved his hand, took out 30 kilograms of meat to make the pig-killing dish in the evening, kept 120 kilograms for himself, and gave the rest to the production team leader, his second cousin Qin Dashan, to arrange.

Although the third production team had only twenty-four households, there were more than three hundred people in total, big and small, young and old.

Qin Dashan distributed five kilograms of meat to each household, and gave the remaining ten kilograms to the four old men in the production team.

These four old men are the treasures of the village. Now they are over 60 years old and have experienced famine, but they are still energetic and full of vigor.

Knowing that they would be having the pig-slaughtering dinner in the evening, everyone went home to get food to prepare for a good meal.

The four old men also brought the meat that Qin Dashan gave them individually to the cafeteria and asked them to cook it and eat it together in the evening.

"Hey, thank you, Grandpa."

"Thank you, old man."

"Okay, you guys get busy, we're leaving."

"Hey, good."

The cafeteria was bustling with activity, but the Qin family's yard was as quiet as a chicken.

The head of the Qin family asked his two sons to go back to work, and he carried Qin Xiaolin into the house, saying, "Nuannuan, come in too. The three of you stay here. You guys just want to fly up to the sky as soon as you grow wings."

"You have entered the deep inner area of ​​the forest?"

"No, grandpa. The wild boar walked here by itself." In front of the patriarch, Qin Xiaolin's desire to survive was very strong.

"The depths of the forest are forbidden, remember not to enter!"

"Grandpa, is there something in the depths? Is it something that Grandpa and the others want to protect?" Qin Nuan felt that her grandfather did not stop them from entering the inner area, perhaps he had some plans, so she asked directly.
