Chapter 24: Everyone Loves Meat

Yang Lan'er approached and kicked the wild boar's spine, then tightly gripped her knife and wiped it off after cutting off the wild boar's head. With a smile on her face, she stored the wild boar in her space. She was a meat lover and couldn't live without it. These two wild boars would last for a while, and any leftovers could be smoked into bacon. Just thinking about braised pork, stir-fried pork liver, potato stew with pork, boiled pork... oh no! She couldn't think about it anymore, or she will start drooling.

When Yang Lan'er was about to leave the narrow passage of the cave, she released the wild boar and stood at the exit, looking at the people making bricks in the valley. She stood with her hands in a trumpet shape in front of his lips and shouted at them, "Hey... hey! Come and carry the wild boar!" Seeing that the people had noticed her, she waved her hands and shouted, "Carry the wild boar!"

When the people ran over, they were surprised to see the wild boar lying on the ground, weighing at least two hundred catties. Yang Er-ge (second brother) was astonished and concerned as he looked at his little sister. "Lan'er, are you okay?" He knew that Lan'er was capable, but he never expected her to hunt a wild boar without getting hurt.

Everyone looked at Yang Lan'er with concern, and their eyes lingered on her. Yang Lan'er felt everyone's concern and blushed as she smiled, "I'm fine... I'm fine. Let's carry it back quickly, boil some water, and process the pork. We'll have a good meal tonight."

Thinking about the pork dishes they could make, everyone became excited and shouted to carry the wild boar back as soon as possible. Yang Lan'er watched everyone's enthusiastic backs and giggled. Her family was so easily satisfied.

That night, Yang's mother led several daughters-in-law and Wang Sao to make a large stone platform of pork dishes. Everyone in the house was full, and even the children were calling out that they were stuffed. Helplessly, Yang Lan'er took them for a walk to aid their digestion.

Wang Qing sighed as he looked at his wife and child, who were also stuffed. "My wife, we've been really lucky. In the future, we must work hard for our benefactors and never do anything to betray them, do you understand?" Looking at Wang Sao and Wang Xiaowen assuring him that they would never betray their mistress, he felt relieved. Despite her casual appearance, he knew that his mistress was an extremely ruthless person. As long as anyone crossed her bottom line, she would never hesitate to eliminate them.

The next day, Yang Lan'er woke up from her sleep and sat up with a clear mind. There were no adults in the dimly lit cave, only a few children still sleeping. After washing up and eating breakfast, Yang Lan'er leisurely walked to the cave entrance, where it was already bright outside. Looking back at the cave, she thought it was the perfect place to sleep in.

She wandered around the cave and saw some women clearing land not far away. They had already cleared a large area and were happy doing so.

Yang Lan'er didn't want to disturb them, so she went to her second brother's place instead. She saw that they had made a lot of bricks next to their land the day before.

"Did you have breakfast yet, Lan'er?" Yang's father noticed his daughter and put down his hoe, grinning at her.

"I did, Dad. You don't have to rush, we're not in a hurry. Take it easy, or Mom will worry if you wear yourselves out." Yang Lan'er made up an excuse, grinning.

"You...you..." Yang's father shook his head and smiled helplessly. This daughter of his had been mischievous since she was young, and with so many people doting on her, she was almost too spoiled!

"Giggle..."

"Ha ha..." Everyone laughed heartily at Yang's father's embarrassment.

"Sis, are you going into the mountains today?" Yang Cunyi had laughed enough and was eager to know. He had seen Yang Lan'er catch two wild boars yesterday and was itching to go into the mountains himself.

Seeing their expectant gazes, Yang Lan'er knew that every man had a hero's dream and wanted to test his skills in the jungle. However, she also knew that the inner circle was full of danger and that they wanted her to lead the way.

"We'll leave soon." Yang Lan'er couldn't ignore the bright, hopeful look in her fourth brother, Yang Cunyi's eyes.

"Cough cough, fourth brother, how about helping me today?" Yang Lan'er glanced at everyone's slightly disappointed eyes. I am too lazy to deal with you all. We'll talk about it later if there's a chance.

"Okay!" Fourth Brother answered

As long as you don't regret it later. Yang Lan'er turned around with a sly smile.
