Rebirth of the leisurely life in ancient times
Chapter 5 Wild Boar Incident
She planned to put the wild boar here and make the surroundings look like animals were fighting. Then she took out the backpack and some mushrooms and walked down the mountain.
After all, she can't eat meat in front of outsiders now. The last time she ate meat in the space was because she was so greedy that she couldn't help it.
She walked out of the mountain without stopping, and saw a few people in the field not far away. She looked closely and saw Aunt Wang and her family were also in the field. She quickened her pace and walked over. When she reached the ridge of the field, she shouted to the field, "Uncle Liu, Auntie is here. I am Zixuan."
Liu Fugui and Wang were weeding in the field when they heard someone calling them. They looked up and saw Xia Zixuan at the edge of the field. They stopped weeding and walked towards her quickly, "Xuan, what's wrong? What's going on?"
Looking at the man in his forties in front of him, he said, "Uncle Liu, I found a wild boar in the mountains. Can you help me get someone to bring it back?"
Liu Fugui and Wang were shocked and then said anxiously, "What did you say? Wild boar! How are you? Are you okay? Oh, why did you run up the mountain?"
Xia Zixuan looked at their concerned eyes and said with a warm heart: "Uncle Liu, Auntie, I'm fine. Look, I'm fine, aren't I?"
As she was talking, several other people gathered around. When they heard that she had picked up a wild boar, they were all envious and concerned about her. Of course, there were also some who were jealous.
Zheng said sarcastically, "Girl Zixuan, you are still in mourning! You can't eat meat! Why don't you give us the wild boar?"
After she finished speaking, she looked at the people around her, trying to get everyone to join her in asking for the wild boar to share. "Don't you agree? Why would a little girl like her eat meat during the mourning period? She might as well give it to us!"
She was thinking that these were the few pieces of meat she had eaten during the Chinese New Year, and it would be better if everyone could get the wild boar together with her so that she could get more.
Ma, who often stayed with her, also came out to agree with Zheng, saying, "That's right, why not share it with us? Why would a little girl like you eat meat?"
An old lady came out and said, "What you said is really rude. If you want to eat meat, just use the silver to buy it. Even if Xuan can't eat it, you can still take it to the town and sell it for money."
This is Aunt Chen from the village. Her husband’s surname is Wang. She can’t stand people speaking in a sarcastic tone, and whenever she sees one, she will retort a few words back.
Zheng said sharply, "How come what we said is wrong! Her parents passed away a few days ago, and the villagers were all helping her family. Shouldn't she give us the wild boar to eat?"
Wang angrily said to Zheng: "We are all from the same village. Everyone has problems. We should help each other. If you want to eat wild boar meat, you can ask Xuan girl to buy it. How can you just ask for it for free?"
Just as Xia Zixuan was about to speak, she heard a slightly old voice coming from her, "If you want to eat wild boar meat, go to the mountains and hunt it yourself. Don't stare at this family and that family all day long. Besides, villagers should help each other when they have problems. Why are you asking for something in return?"
He paused for a moment and then continued, "The village has already decided that Xuan girl can't eat meat during the first three days of mourning. Now five days have passed, so she can eat whatever she wants."
The person who spoke was the village chief of Qingshan Village, who turned out to be Wang's son. Liu Dashan saw that something was wrong and ran to the village to find the village chief.
She saw the village chief and bowed slightly, "Hello, Grandpa Village Chief. I am sorry to trouble you and make you come all the way here."
The village chief said in a gentle tone: "Xuan girl, what are you talking about? If you need help from the villagers in the future, just ask. We will definitely help you if we can. Grandpa heard from your brother Dashan that you picked up a wild boar. Is that true? Are you okay?"
Xia Zixuan said softly: "Well, thank you for your concern, Grandpa Village Chief, I'm fine."
After confirming again and again that she was fine, he didn't say anything. It was inevitable that the little girl had a hard time living alone, and it was inevitable that she wanted to go up the mountain to find something to improve her life.
The village chief looked around and said firmly, "Xuan girl, take your uncle Liu to the mountain to carry the wild boar down! The village chief will see who dares to take advantage of you."
Xia Zixuan heard this and said with a wronged tone, "Grandpa Village Chief, I... Uncle Liu and I were just planning to go up the mountain to carry wild boars! But Aunt Zheng and the others..."
The village chief glared at Zheng and Ma and said, "Xuan girl, don't worry about her. Now take your uncle Fugui and the others to the mountain to bring back the wild boar. I'll see who dares to do anything to you."
Zheng and Ma didn't dare to speak since the village chief came. Their husbands were still holding them back from saying anything. What they said was right! Why should a girl like her eat meat? It would be better to give them more meat so that they can take it home to feed their sons!
Xia Zixuan looked at the village chief and said, "Well, then, Grandpa Village Chief, please ask everyone to boil some hot water first. I am going to give this wild boar to the villagers. Although it is a little less, everyone can still get some. I also thank everyone for helping my family a few days ago."
The village head's grandmother, Mrs. Feng, pulled her aside and whispered, "What a good and grateful child you are. Listen to your grandmother, Xuan. You should sell the wild boar! You don't have any money now! You need to save more money so that you can live a good life in the future!"
Xia Zixuan felt warm at heart after hearing this, "It's okay, Village Chief Grandma. You can always make money. Just listen to me today! Let's go."
After saying this, without waiting for Feng's reply, she took Liu Fugui and the others to the place on the mountain where the wild boars were released. They didn't know if other animals would chase them out, so they had to hurry.
Mrs. Feng looked at Xia Zixuan's back as she walked away and sighed, "Alas, this child is just too kind. How will she live in the future?"
"We should all take good care of it in the future. Okay, old woman, you take the women in the village back to boil some water so they can use it when they come back. Ask each family to bring out some greens or wild vegetables to stew with the wild boar meat. Today, our village will have a big pot of food thanks to Miss Xuan." The village chief waved his hand and said to everyone with full energy.
