Chapter 62 Hunting, Big Wild Boar

After Qiao Ran finished speaking to her mother, she looked at her grandmother with expectant eyes.

Although Mrs. Qiao was worried, she couldn't bear to let her eldest granddaughter and grandson down.

She warned: "Xiaodong, you have to remember that you are still young. Don't rush ahead. Just follow behind everyone. If there is any danger, run back quickly and don't drag everyone down."

When Qiao Dong saw that grandma agreed, he happily promised: "I remember grandma, I won't hold you back!"

Now that the old lady has spoken, Chen Huiniang can't say anything more even if she is worried.

After breakfast, Qiao Erhe went to ask a group of men in the village who wanted to go hunting in the mountains.

Several groups of men have already entered the forest. It’s not that the remaining men don’t want to get some meat and vegetables for their families, it’s just that some of them are timid and afraid of encountering beasts, and some just think it’s useless to go, so they Can't hunt.

But when they heard that the two Qiao brothers were going hunting, they were moved.

Brothers Qiao Erhe and Qiao Sanhu are both relatively strong and smart people in the village. With their leadership, maybe they can catch prey?

So a few men were also interested and immediately agreed to go together. Everyone agreed to set off in a while.

Qiao Ran still took her bow, and also picked a dagger from the weapons pile of the bandits in the village and took it with her.

Not only is she good at archery, but she is also good at close combat. Regardless of whether she attacks from a distance or close up, she is an indispensable skill when going on a mission.

Qiao Dong took the big knife that his sister gave him last time, and the brothers Qiao Erhe and other villagers each took a handy weapon.

Although the weapons in the cave cannot be used, there are many weapons such as swords and sticks seized from the bandits.

The village chief has not yet decided how to distribute these weapons. They live in the village these days and can choose the weapons they have when they want to go hunting.

When everyone gathered at the door of the meeting hall, the men couldn't help but murmured as they looked at Qiao Ran and his brother Qiao Erhe who were walking over together.

How can the Qiao family safely let their two and a half-year-old children go hunting together? Are they not afraid of danger?

However, everyone had nothing to say when they thought of the big python that Qiao Ran and her brother brought back yesterday, which was enough for the whole village to eat, and the bravery of Qiao Ran in killing dozens of people when dealing with the bandits last night.

Ran Yatou's fighting ability is much stronger than those of them, farmers who are used to doing rough work.

Everyone knew that Qiao Ran had a lot of strength before, but after seeing her flexible skills last night, they were still shocked.

It is not surprising that Qiao Ran, who was a fool in the past, had brute strength, but now that she has regained her consciousness, what happened to her suddenly becoming so flexible?

Could it be that not only did she suddenly become enlightened, but she also suddenly learned martial arts without a teacher?

Full of questions, the six men followed the four Qiao family members down the mountain and entered the dense forest at the foot of Tianlang Mountain.

Both brothers Qiao Erhe felt that their niece, who was the apprentice of the old god, was not only good at skills, but also knew more than them, so they both asked Qiao Ran to lead the way and command.

Several other men in the village originally came hunting with the two Qiao brothers. Although they were surprised to see that they all listened to Qiao Ran's words, they didn't ask any questions.

After all, they had only farmed before and had never hunted. Most people would not dare to go hunting in the mountains without permission unless they were hunters.

They had never hunted before, and now that someone could take the lead, all they had to do was follow.

Qiao Ran didn't take them to the water source in the valley. After all, they had to live in the village for the next few days and had to get water from the valley.

If you hunt here, the smell of blood will attract other beasts and bring danger to the villagers.

Qiao Ran led a few people across the stream in the valley and climbed up the opposite mountain.

She guessed that there was a bandit's den on Tianlang Mountain. Those ferocious beasts usually avoided people, so there were probably many wild beasts hiding in the deserted mountain opposite.

Qiao Ran's guess was correct. Before they climbed halfway up the mountain, they had already shot five pheasants, two hares, a deer, a yellow pheasant, and picked up several nests of wild eggs and bird eggs.

Except for the timid yellow pheasant and the two pheasants, which were shot by the villagers together, Qiao Ran shot them down with bows and arrows.

The six villagers all admired Qiao Ran's archery skills. They didn't know when this girl secretly learned archery and became so good.

For these farmers, who rarely ate meat either before or after escaping, they were extremely surprised to be able to catch so many prey at once.

"Qiao Ran, these prey should be enough for us to eat, let's go back!"

"Yes, with so much prey, I would be satisfied if I could share half of my pheasant. The whole family can have a good meal!"

"Me too, hehe! If I could have those fragrant dried mushrooms that Ran Yatou picked up last time, and make a pot of mushroom and pheasant soup like the Qiao family did last time, tsk tsk, that would be really beautiful!"

These men couldn't help but smacked their lips when they thought that the chicken soup made by the Qiao family last time was so fragrant that it filled the entire fleeing team and made them so greedy that they couldn't sleep at night. Even now they can't look away from the mouth-watering aroma.

It would be great if I could pick some of those fragrant dried mushrooms!

When Qiao Ran saw that the villagers were satisfied, she didn't insist on moving forward.

"Okay, let's go down the mountain! I'll check to see if there are any mushrooms in the woods later. If there are any, let's pick some and make soup."

"Okay, okay! Ran Yatou, please teach us how to identify this mushroom and that fungus. Let's pick some and try them. Is it really that delicious?"

Several men took the initiative to carry the prey and walked back happily.

When going up the mountain, everyone deliberately asked Qiao Dong to follow them, and they opened the way in front, because the danger is usually in front.

When going down the mountain, everyone felt that there was no danger, so they let Qiao Dong go ahead.

However, just as they were about to reach the bottom of the mountain.

Suddenly, Qiao Dong stopped, his body stiff and motionless.

"boom!"

Qiao Sanhu, who was walking behind Qiao Dong, didn't stop in time and bumped into his back, almost knocking him forward and rolling him down the mountain.

"Dong'er, what's wrong?"

Qiao Sanhu quickly stretched out his hand to support his eldest nephew and asked in surprise.

Qiao Dong mechanically stretched out his arm and pointed forward, and everyone looked in the direction of his finger.

"Wild, wild boar..."

Someone exclaimed.

Qiao Ran looked forward and saw not far ahead, in the middle of a path they had made in the grass when they went up the mountain, there was a large wild boar and four small wild boars looking for food.

Seeing someone coming, the big wild boar didn't seem to be afraid, and just looked up at them.

He lowered his head again and led the piglets to arch their long mouths on the grass, making squeaking sounds from their mouths.
