Chen Yan lay motionless on the tree, but when she heard the howling of wild boars not far away, she covered her mouth and cried out in fear.

The thought that Wen Li and the others might be in danger sent a chill down her spine. Wen Li had lured the wild boar away to save them; if it weren't for them…

The more she thought about it, the sadder she became, and tears streamed down her face. Just as her eyes were swollen from crying, she suddenly heard footsteps approaching. She turned around and saw Wen Li walking leisurely over.

Chen Yan could no longer control herself; she had been sobbing softly, but now she burst into loud sobs.

"Wow~ Wen Li, you jerk, you scared me to death, waaaaah~"

Wen Li couldn't help but laugh out loud at Chen Yan's completely unladylike behavior!

"Waaaah, you're making fun of me?"

Chen Yan stared at Wen Li with her tearful almond-shaped eyes, as if she were looking at a heartless man!

Wen Li tried hard to suppress the upturned corners of her mouth. "Okay, okay, I'm fine now. The wild boar is dead, don't cry!"

This was the first time Chen Yan had cried so bitterly in front of others. Feeling a little embarrassed, she wiped away her tears and pretended that nothing had happened!

"I wasn't crying!"

Knowing she was concerned about her image, Wen Li stopped teasing her. "Come down! We still need to go down the mountain to call for help!"

Chen Yan's face flushed bright red. "I... my legs are weak, I can't get down!"

"I'll catch you down here; just hold onto the tree trunk and slide down!"

"Then you'd better catch me!"

Wen Li found it amusing, "Okay!"

After Chen Yan came down, the two quickly descended the mountain. Wen Li immediately found the captain, whose brows were furrowed so deeply that they almost formed a "川" shape. He glared fiercely at the two of them.

"I'll teach you a lesson when I get back!"

After saying that, the brigade leader led a dozen or so young men toward the back mountain. Wen Li knew that Chen Yan was quite frightened today, so she told her to go back to the educated youth compound first, while she led the men up the mountain.

Chen Yan had been on edge for so long, and when she finally relaxed, her legs started trembling. This was the first time she had ever seen a wild boar in all her years of life. She had never thought anything of wild boars before, no matter how scary they were.

After seeing it with her own eyes, Chen Yan realized how terrifying wild boars were. Not to mention their tusks, their bodies weighing several hundred kilograms were truly terrifying!

Even now, thinking back on it, her heart races, and she feels a wave of fear wash over her, almost losing her balance.

Thinking of Wen Li's retreating figure as she led the wild boar away, Chen Yan pursed her lips and her eyes turned cold. No matter who was plotting against them today, or who that person was plotting against, Chen Yan would not let that person go!

Wen Li led the villagers to the back mountain, where Su Hao and the others made a makeshift stretcher out of rattan and were leading the wild boar down the mountain.

Everyone beamed with joy upon seeing such a large wild boar.

"This wild boar must weigh over 300 jin (150 kg)!"

"You educated youth, you guys are incredibly bold!"

Su Hao scratched his head sheepishly, "We just accidentally took the wrong path. Who knew we'd be so unlucky as to run into wild boars?"

"Then how did you kill the wild boar?"

People are clearly more curious about this question.

"We lured the wild boar into the woods, and it was going too fast, so it crashed into a tree. When we saw it was injured, we worked together to smash its head with stones, and it died!"

Wow, you guys are really amazing!

"Hehe, these were all ideas from Wen Zhiqing!"

Although Wen Li didn't want people to know about her strength, she had to let them know that she had killed the wild boar all by herself. If the villagers benefited from this, they would take better care of her in the future.

"Wen, aren't you afraid?" One of the young men looked at Wen Li with sparkling eyes.

Wen Li's face still showed fear, and she looked very weak. "I'm scared! But I'm even more afraid of dying. Since I can't beat them, I can only try to outsmart them!"

"No wonder they're educated; they're definitely smarter than us!"

Although the captain was angry that Su Hao and his group had gone deep into the mountains, the sight of such a large wild boar calmed his anger considerably.

"Stop talking, let's get the wild boar down the mountain first!"

The wild boar's head was still dripping blood, and no one dared to linger on the mountain. A dozen people took turns carrying it, and in a short while, they carried the wild boar down the mountain.

When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, everyone was already waiting there. They had heard that some of the educated youth had hunted a wild boar, and they were all excitedly waiting for them.

With meat to eat, who has the heart to work? Of course, dividing the pork is more important!

The brigade leader led the men to carry the wild boar to the grain drying yard, where a large iron pot had already been set up and the water was boiling. As soon as the wild boar arrived, they began to bleed it and scrape off its hair.

After all the wild boar's internal organs were processed, several villagers weighed it on a scale. After removing the internal organs and head, the wild boar still weighed 305 jin (approximately 127.5 catties), which shows how big this wild boar was.

Finally, the brigade leader announced that Wen Li and her group of five would each receive ten catties of pork, and the rest would be distributed among the villagers according to the number of people.

Wen Li chose five catties of pork belly and all the rest of the meat was lean. Wild boar meat was both fishy and tough, so Wen Li planned to use it to make chili sauce and send it to her parents. As a soldier, her father had many hidden injuries, and the chili sauce with spiritual spring water would help him recover.

"Wen educated youth, I didn't expect you guys to be so capable. That was a wild boar! Weren't you afraid?"

After the women received their share of meat, they didn't rush to leave. Instead, they surrounded the group and began asking them about the details of killing the wild boar.

Wen Li looked at the aunties who had gathered around her with lingering fear. "Aunties, we were just lucky. There happened to be a grove of trees nearby. The wild boar was strong and crashed into a tree, injuring its head. Otherwise, with our small arms and legs, how could we have escaped?"

"That's true, you young folks are really unlucky. How did you end up messing with that big guy?"

"That's right, several trees were broken off by wild boars!"

Su Hao and Deng Wei were also forced to recount their encounter with the wild boar. Just as the two were talking animatedly, the brigade leader came over with a stern face.

"You few went into the mountains without permission. I'll let you off the hook since you hunted wild boars. Each of you, go back and write a self-criticism, and hand it in to me tomorrow morning!"

Wen Li's mind went blank, and she felt like the sky had collapsed. The brigade leader was even more ruthless than the head of the teaching department!

Su Hao, who disliked studying to begin with, was on the verge of tears. "Captain, we just got lost! We really didn't mean to wander into the deep mountains!"

The captain remained unyielding, "Don't give me that. Do you think I'm stupid? I'm going to teach you a lesson so you won't become arrogant!"

Deng Wei also looked distressed. "Captain, can we not write a self-criticism?"

The captain smiled and nodded, "It's fine if you don't have to write a self-criticism!"

The group's eyes lit up, and they all looked at the captain with anticipation!

The captain coldly uttered a few words, "All of you, go and carry manure!"

Wenli:......

How could you say such cold words with that 37-degree mouth?

"Captain, I was wrong. I'll go back and write a self-criticism right away!" Su Hao said this and ran off.

The captain looked at the few young men who had run away and a smug smile appeared on his face.

"Tch~ Try to mess with me!"
