Natural disasters in books: I stockpiled goods to escape famine in ancient times

Even after being exiled for so long and wearing coarse linen clothes, the eldest sons of the Shen and Xie families were still as handsome as green pines and bright moons. Facing these two people with dazzling auras, Liu Daming and others felt very uneasy.

Song Shiwei and Zhang Wu stood behind them, watching with interest.

Xie An usually had a few words with the villagers, but now that he had come here rashly, he had no choice but to speak. He clasped his fists towards everyone and said, "I heard that you are going to go into the mountains to hunt. Brother Shen and I know some martial arts, and we would like to join you to improve the food for our family. I hope you brothers will not despise us."

Liu Daming and others looked at each other, not knowing how to answer.

Chen Qiang stepped forward and said with a smile, "You two little brothers are outstanding. We are very happy to have you join us. However, we will not be back for a while, so you two should be mentally prepared."

"In that case, thank you all very much," Xie An clasped his fists again.

So just like that, Xie An and Shen Yan also joined the hunting team.

With the addition of these two people, everyone's conversation became restrained. Song Shiwei and Zhang Wu still walked at the end of the group, and their eyes would occasionally fall on Shen Yan and Xie An in front of them.

Shen and Xie naturally noticed this undisguised gaze, but thinking of the owner of the gaze, they looked at each other and tacitly did not look back.

The mountain road is rugged, and there are few people walking here. There is not even a road on the entire mountain. It all depends on Chen Qiang to choose the direction to move forward.

The group of people hammered and banged their way deeper into the forest. After walking for half an hour, they didn't find any traces of wild animals along the way, and everyone couldn't help feeling a little depressed.

Just then, a subtle sound was heard, and Song Shiwei stopped and looked to the right.

Zhang Wu hurried back to Song Shiwei and asked in a low voice, "Master, what's wrong?"

Song Shiwei thought thoughtfully: "Didn't you hear anything just now?"

Zhang Wu shook his head honestly.

Song Shiwei sighed softly, pointed to the right and said softly: "There is movement over there, but it is a bit far from us. If I am not mistaken, it should be the sound of a wild boar."

Zhang Wu's eyes lit up instantly, and just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by another voice.

"Mr. Song, are you saying there are wild boars over there? Seriously?"

The others who were walking forward were stopped by Liu Daming's loud voice and turned back to look.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Song Shiwei, which made Song Shiwei feel a little uncomfortable, but he still nodded: "It's true, but the distance is a bit far."

Knowing that Song Shiwei was a capable person, Chen Qiang also came over with a bow and arrow, looking expectant: "Brother Song, how far is it?"

"Five or six miles."

Everyone:! ! !

"Mr. Song, you said that the wild boar was five or six miles away from us. Isn't this too unreasonable? Of course, I have no intention of targeting you. I'm just a little curious. How did you know such a long distance?" Shen Yan walked out of the crowd and looked at her steadily.

Song Shiwei looked around, taking in everyone's expressions, and chuckled, "If you can't do it, can't others do it? Excuse me, this person... must know that there are always better people."

Shen Yan's smile disappeared instantly. He felt like he was being looked down upon, but he couldn't refute it.

"Believe it or not, it's up to you. That's all I have to say," Song Shiwei said, and then he took Zhang Wu towards the direction of the wild boar.

The rest of the people looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

Chen Qiang glanced at Song Shiwei's back as he left and said in a deep voice, "Follow Brother Song. He is a capable man."

After Chen Qiang finished speaking, he took the rest of the people to catch up with Song Shiwei.

Xie An walked up to Shen Yan and patted him on the shoulder: "My father said that Mr. Song is not a simple person, don't mind it, Brother Shen."

Shen Yan smiled bitterly: "I just find it unbelievable, but Mr. Song is indeed a little arrogant."

"A capable person can naturally ignore everyone," Xie An paused here and continued, "But I think that Mr. Song is not arrogant, it should be his personality."

Shen Yan smiled and said nothing more.

Everyone followed Song Shiwei. After walking for about half an hour, Song Shiwei stopped, raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then slowly moved forward.

There was no need for Song Shiwei to say more now. Everyone heard the noise coming from the front and tightened their weapons in their hands.

After pulling aside the bushes, five big wild boars appeared in everyone's sight, and even Chen Qiang blushed with excitement.

Song Shiwei and Zhang Wu looked at each other and nodded. Then, before anyone could react, the two of them rushed out like sharp swords. With one sword and one knife, two wild boars fell to the ground instantly. The rest of the wild boars were frightened and fled in all directions.

Chen Qiang quickly drew his bow and shot an arrow, then shouted, "Everyone charge, and capture the remaining wild boars."

Liu Daming, Chen Chun and others picked up long swords and rushed out howling.

Song Shiwei and Zhang Wu stopped after killing a wild boar each. They easily dragged the boars to the side. The heavy bodies of the wild boars fell to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

Xie An and Shen Yan came over one step later. The two cooperated well and successfully killed a wild boar. They had a new understanding of Song Shiwei's strength and saw shock in each other's eyes.

However, Liu Daming and others were not as surprised as the two men. They seemed to be accustomed to it and concentrated on dealing with the remaining two wild boars.

The villagers were numerous and powerful. First, Song Shiwei and his companions dealt with two wild boars, and then Shen Xie dealt with one. With the cooperation of the villagers, the remaining two were also captured.

When everyone saw the five wild boars lying neatly on the ground, they finally smiled.

Chen Qiang smiled and arranged for people to go to the mountains to find some vines. Song Shiwei also asked Zhang Wu to cut some strong wood. Everyone tied up the wild boar's limbs with vines, and then strung them together with wood. Two people carried the wild boar and left the place.

The villagers of Dahe Village, together with the officials and exiles, numbered at least 300 people. Five wild boars were just a drop in the bucket for them. Since they had a harvest this time, everyone discussed it and decided to continue looking for prey in the mountains and forests, and try to kill more wild animals to take back as a snack.

Song Shiwei didn't say anything else on the way. With the experience of Chen Qiang, the old hunter, the group killed three wild boars that were out looking for food, as well as a dozen pheasants and rabbits, making for a good harvest.

On the way back, everyone was in the mood to talk and laugh, and they chatted and laughed all the way back to their resting place.

The hunters had been out for three or four hours and had not returned. The villagers were worried sick. When they heard a burst of noise, they stopped what they were doing and looked over. When Chen Qiang and others came back carrying eight big wild boars, the crowd suddenly became noisy and everyone rushed towards them, chattering non-stop.

Song Shiwei hurriedly pulled Zhang Wu away from the corner, leaving the noise to Chen Qiang and the others to deal with.

The eight wild boars successfully took away everyone's depressed mood. After some discussion, Huang Changyuan waved his hand and had a big pot of meat in the evening. All eight wild boars were slaughtered. However, considering that Xie An and Shen Yan had contributed to it, Huang Changyuan deliberately left one wild boar for the official.
