Chapter 20 I'm Not Afraid
Yunyi squatted down to examine Dabao's arms and legs, finding no broken bones, only superficial injuries. So she found some hemostatic and anti-inflammatory herbs in the woods, chewed them up, and applied them to the affected areas: "Can you get up? Can you walk?"
Da Bao, who had been holding back his tears, suddenly burst into tears for some reason. Although he didn't burst into loud sobs, his face was covered in tears.
Yunyi didn't stop him; she just watched him cry quietly.
Da Bao cried for a while before finally stopping, looking a little embarrassed: "I...I can walk, hiccup..." Because he had been crying for so long, he started hiccuping.
As a result, Abao's face turned red instantly.
"Don't do things beyond your capabilities before you have the ability." Yunyi took out a handkerchief to wipe his face, then took off the basket on his back. "Go inside."
"I……"
"Don't dawdle, or I'm leaving."
Da Bao hurriedly climbed into the basket.
Fortunately, Da Bao was a bit thin due to malnutrition, otherwise the basket might not have been able to hold an eight-year-old boy.
Yunyi slung the basket over her shoulder, then turned and continued walking into the mountains. She hadn't gotten anything today, and going down the mountain empty-handed wasn't her style.
Da Bao sat in the basket, feeling conflicted. He hadn't expected her to come back to save him, much less carry him on her back. He didn't know how to face this woman now.
Yunyi didn't care about the little guy's little schemes behind her. She returned to the place where the trap had been set. To her surprise, in just half an hour, a rabbit and a pheasant fell into the pit. She put Dabao down, picked up two stones, knocked them unconscious, and jumped into the pit.
Da Bao couldn't stop him in time and could only watch helplessly as the person jumped.
After tying the wild rabbit and pheasant up with vines, Yunyi tidied up the bamboo spikes below, then chopped the axe into the wall and used it to climb up.
Just as Da Bao was getting anxious, he saw Yun Yi fly up in a flash, and he opened his mouth wide in surprise.
Yunyi glanced at him and pointed to the pheasants and rabbits on the ground: "Keep an eye on things. I'll go in and take another look. It'll be slow if I take you with me. It's safe here for now."
Da Bao nodded blankly.
Yunyi secretly instructed Sixteen to keep an eye on Dabao's situation, while she herself slipped into the dense forest.
Da Bao's mind has been completely overturned by Yun Yi. If he didn't quite believe before that she could hunt prey in the mountains, he now does. Judging by her skills, she might even be better than his father.
However, as time passed, occasional cries of unknown origin echoed around them, along with the sound of leaves rustling in the wind, making Da Bao's heart leap into his throat.
At that moment, he prayed desperately that the woman would return soon.
Yunyi, however, did encounter a truly large creature at this moment—a wild boar that looked to weigh two or three hundred pounds.
Wild boars, though never the dominant species, are among the most difficult to deal with. Even bears and tigers dare not provoke them easily.
More importantly, wild boars usually travel in groups. If there is one here, there will definitely be other wild boars nearby. Therefore, it is necessary to deal with this one as soon as possible and leave. Otherwise, if you are surrounded by a group of wild boars, your chances of survival will be slim.
Wild boars are fast and have thick hides, so ordinary attacks will only provoke their wildness. Therefore, you must strike with a single, decisive blow.
Yunyi gripped the axe tightly and charged at the wild boar. In the instant of impact, she sidestepped onto a nearby tree, but her axe struck the boar precisely above the brow, a fatal spot.
Seeing the enormous creature crash to the ground, Yunyi wiped the cold sweat from her forehead. Fortunately, it was a success, but she didn't dare to linger. After all, the smell of blood would soon attract other wild beasts, and other wild boars would also come by the scent if they found their family members missing. So, she cut a few vines, tied up the wild boar, and carried it back to the trap.
Da Bao was on edge. The moment he saw Yun Yi, he burst into tears, but he quickly held them back, wiping away his tears with his little hands: "I...I'm not scared."
"Yes, you're very brave." Yunyi nodded. "Now let's go down the mountain."
Da Bao nodded, glanced at the wild boar, and suppressed his shock: "I... I can walk by myself."
Are you going to get off the train?
Da Bao lowered his head.
"Hurry up and get on, it's getting late."
Da Bao had no choice but to get back into the basket.
Yunyi hung the pheasants and rabbits on her back basket, then picked up the wild boar and threw it down the mountain. Since they were going down the mountain anyway, it wouldn't be a problem if it rolled down.
The descent was much faster, and we reached the foot of the mountain in less than half an hour.
"Can you go back and get some people?" Yunyi put Dabao down. "This wild boar needs to be taken to town to be sold. I need manpower and an oxcart."
Da Bao nodded, turned and ran, but because his legs were weak, he fell after only two steps. However, he quickly got up and ran far away.
"Boss, weren't you trying to clear your name? Why are you being so cold to him?" Sixteen asked, puzzled.
Yunyi smiled. No matter how good she was to them, they wouldn't believe her. It was better to let things take their course. Once the Xia family was settled and Dabao was old enough to stand on his own, she would go to the capital to avenge the original owner of this body. After all, she had taken over someone else's body, so she had to repay them.
Once these matters are settled, she can travel around in this ancient world.
She doesn't need to do any tasks in this world, so she can live more freely.
It was just past noon, and the people working in the fields were returning for lunch.
However, at this moment, no one went home for dinner. Instead, they gathered at the village entrance because they had just learned that Da Bao had gone into the mountains with Yun Yi, specifically Qinglong Mountain.
The village chief grabbed Donkey Egg and Dog Egg by the ears: "These two lads are still keeping it a secret. If someone really dies, let's see if you two will regret it."
Both mothers felt sorry for their sons, but dared not say much. However, they were somewhat unhappy. It was Da Bao who went into the mountains on his own, so why should they scold their son? Of course, they only dared to grumble to themselves.
“We can’t just watch that child get hurt, so a few of you come with me into the mountains to check on him.” The village chief was full of helplessness as he casually pointed to a few strong men.
Upon hearing this, Xia Songshi immediately knelt down: "Thank you everyone, sob sob..." If something happened to her eldest grandson, she wouldn't be able to live either. "I'm kowtowing to everyone."
