"what……"

"Help!"

Jin Yanzhi screamed in fright when he saw the blue-faced, tusked wild boar in front of him by the moonlight.

The wild boar seemed annoyed by his shouts and stepped on Jin Yanzhi's leg, causing him to scream again in pain. This startled the birds that were sleeping in the night, as well as Scarface Zhang and the others who had come up the mountain to search for him!

"Bring all the male members of the Jin family here!"

Upon hearing the screams, Scarface Zhang immediately gave orders to his subordinates. He listened carefully and soon saw Jin Yanzhi tumbling and crawling, being kicked, stomped on, and thrown around like a toy by the wild boar...

When the Jin family members were brought over, the wounded Marquis of Zhongyong, disregarding his injuries, said, "Wild boars have thick hides and tough flesh. Eldest brother, you guard the southeast and protect the women. Second and third brothers, you take the children and use torches to drive them away!"

"Sir, I need a knife!"

Marquis Zhongyong looked at Scarface Zhang.

Under the cover of night and illuminated by torches, the Marquis of Loyalty and Valor had a cold face and sharp eyes.

Scarface Zhang gripped his sword; even though the Marquis of Loyalty and Valor had not been on the battlefield for many years, his sword was still as sharp as ever.

"Whether to chase the wild boar away or catch it for meat, the adults can choose."

Even with shackles on his hands, the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery stood there like a towering mountain. The wild boar was fierce, and with Lin Huilan's worried shouts, it looked like the wild boar was about to run away!

"Loosen your shackles! If any of you dare to escape, not a single woman will live!"

Scarface Zhang gave a signal, and Zhang Gui, holding a knife, stood beside the guard with two constables.

"I, Jin Yi, am upright and honest, and I would never be a coward who runs away from home."

The voice of the Marquis of Loyalty and Courage was filled with a dignified and righteous spirit.

Soon, Marquis Zhongyong led several men from the Jin family up the mountain to catch wild boars, and Scarface Zhang went along as well, leaving Zhang Gui and two constables behind to guard the women.

"The Marquis's injuries haven't fully healed yet."

Liu Suyi looked in the direction of the noise, her eyes filled with worry.

"With such a big wild boar, wouldn't we all be able to eat meat?"

The eldest wife, Madam He, stared at the wild boar scurrying about, swallowing hard.

"Shut up."

Liu Suyi gave He Shi a cold look, and He Shi immediately dared not speak.

Cheng Qiqi didn't speak, but looked at the Marquis Zhongyong, who had just recovered from serious injuries, in the mountains. He was still vigorous despite his old age. His calm voice directed the others. At this moment, there were no escorting officials or prisoners. Everyone's goal was the same!

Scarface Zhang and the others valued their lives, so they let the Jin family members charge into battle, while they only assisted from the sidelines.

Torches flickered through the mountains and forests, and the Loyal and Brave Marquis shouted, "Li Zhi, gouge out his eyes!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of wild boars howling was heard.

Before long, Grandpa Jin and his group carried the wild boar down the mountain.

A wild boar weighing seventy or eighty pounds isn't very big, but if we divide it up, everyone could have a good meal!

"Take the pig's feet, the pig's head is theirs, and the pig's body, cut it in half."

Scarface Zhang raised an eyebrow and smiled at Marquis Zhongyong, asking, "What does Your Excellency think?"

The Jin family's expressions changed. Marquis Zhongyong said, "My lord, I am now a criminal. Please just call me Jin Yi. Your willingness to share a pig's head and a piece of pork is already an act of great kindness towards us. Thank you, my lord!"

The Marquis of Zhongyong's humble posture made Scarface Zhang feel exceptionally good. After all, the person in front of him was once the high and mighty Marquis of Zhongyong, but now he stood before him in a humble posture, waiting for his charity.

Scarface Zhang felt an inexplicable sense of smugness. He waved his hand magnanimously and said, "Alright, then hurry up and slaughter the pig and divide the meat!"

"Yes."

As he spoke, Marquis Zhongyong pulled Third Master Jin and Fourth Master Jin together and said, "While the pig has just died and there's still fire, let's stew it."

I had wild vegetable porridge for dinner, which was all soupy and watery, and I wasn't full at all.

"Second Brother, he... he's bullying us too much!" Third Master Jin gritted his teeth in anger. This wild boar was clearly hunted by them and Second Brother together, but Scarface Zhang and his gang not only took half the meat, but also all four of the trotters!

"That's right, Second Brother, your wound has reopened. We were the ones who caught the wild boar, and he..."

Master Jin couldn't help but feel indignant on behalf of his second brother. Their Jin family received less, and with so many people, the meat they got was naturally even less!

"We are prisoners."

The Marquis of Zhongyong's words immediately silenced them: "Lizhi, Runzhi, go and drag Yanzhi back to see what happened!"

"By the way, Jin Yi."

Scarface Zhang was about to return to the carriage to rest when, standing on the carriage, he looked down at Marquis Zhongyong and said, "About your son's escape..."

"You've misunderstood, sir. Yanzhi went to relieve himself and slipped and fell in the dark. He would never dare to run away."

Marquis Zhongyong immediately spoke up, bowing slightly as he answered firmly.

"That would be for the best, otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Scarface Zhang entered the carriage. He was determined to take the lives of the Jin family father and son. However, Jin Yanzhi seemed to have broken his leg and was kicked like that, so there was no need for him to take action against him!

Jin Yanzhi was dragged back, howling like a banshee. Marquis Zhongyong said coldly, "Jin Yanzhi, if you dare to howl again, I'll throw you up the mountain to feed the wild boars."

"..."

Jin Yanzhi immediately stopped crying, but gritted her teeth, her face full of resentment!

Lin Huilan choked back tears, saying, "My lord, Yanzhi is in such a state..."

"We, the men of the Jin family, shed blood but not tears on the battlefield. So what if you lost a leg? You're crying like this over a minor injury!"

Marquis Zhongyong said coldly, "If you can't even endure this little bit of hardship, find a rope and hang yourself from a tree. The sooner you die, the sooner you'll be reborn. There's much more suffering to come on the road to exile. With your abilities, you're not even as good as Mo Zhi's finger."

Marquis Zhongyong took off his outer robe, revealing a bleeding wound: "Third brother, apply the medicine."

Marquis Zhongyong only showed Jin Yanzhi his back, and Jin Yanzhi, seeing this, immediately dared not utter a sound!

The women of the Jin family began preparing wild boar meat!

"It's a pity the weather is still hot; this pork won't last more than a few days," Mrs. He said regretfully as she tidied up the pork.

Wen said, "There are many of us, so this little bit of pork should be enough for two days."

"Keep those pig intestines."

Cheng Qiqi spoke up, looking at the large and small intestines, which were about to be braised along with the pig's head. She said, "Don't waste them."

"You can eat this?" Mrs. He's eyes were filled with disbelief, and her gaze towards Cheng Qiqi seemed to be filled with disgust.

"Why can't we eat it? It tastes much better than wild vegetables!"

Cheng Qiqi picked up the pig intestines without any disgust and went straight to the stream to wash them.

"Sister-in-law, I... I'll help you."

Jin Xuan'er followed Cheng Qiqi, wanting to help but not knowing where to start.

"Xuan'er, go find some more firewood over there. Wild boar meat needs to be stewed for a longer time to be fragrant." Cheng Qiqi sent Jin Xuan'er away and then pulled a switcheroo, taking out the prepared large and small intestines from her space and secretly adding a little extra.
