The boars could be exchanged for a lot of points, which could be used to reclaim more land.
However, she decided to first figure out how many points a small boar was worth by selling one at the Points Mall. If the points received were too low, she would keep the boars in her space first and sell them to a restaurant in the future.
She retrieved a bow from her space and drew it, aiming it at the boars.
…
After so ti, An Jiuyue finally returned. She had chosen a little wild boar from her space and took it out when she neared her house.
She pretended that she was struggling to carry it and asked the others to help her.
“Jiuyue, did you hunt this? Are you alright?”
A few won were stunned to see the wild boar. They wondered how she killed such a large boar when she was so small-frad.
Boars were a scourge to them. They would often descend the mountain and barge into the village to destroy crops and attack people. They would even break into yards to forage for food under broad daylight.
No one dared to do anything about the boars as they were afraid of being injured.
However, the wild boar, an animal everyone believed to be very powerful, was killed and carried back by An Jiuyue alone.
“I’m fine, I’m just a little tired from carrying it.”
She wiped the mud, which she had sared on herself, off her body. It would be difficult to explain to everyone how she could kill such a huge wild beast without dirtying herself.
“Uncle, can you assign so people to wash the wild boar? We can cook the at for everyone to eat,” she said to the village’s Junior Officer.
“Well…”
The Junior Officer wore an awkward expression on his face.
Of course, they wanted to eat at. Every family could only have so during the new year.
But An Jiuyue was the one who killed this wild boar. If she sold it in town, it would earn her a lot of money. Yet, she was offering it to them just like that? What a pity!
“Jiuyue, aren’t you going to sell this wild boar in town?” he asked.
“Why are you talking so much, Junior Officer? Jiuyue already told us to wash the boar and cook it. Let’s listen to Jiuyue. It’s just a wild boar. It’s not worth much.”
Before An Jiuyue could speak, she heard a familiar voice.
She narrowed her eyes and saw the woman.
“Aunt Wang?”
“Uh—”
Aunt Wang felt her heart skip a beat when she saw that An Jiuyue had noticed her, gasping internally.
She had been hiding at the back, afraid that An Jiuyue would notice her. She had wanted to bring her grandson to change into a new set of free clothes from her, but she rembered what happened earlier and was too afraid to go.
But now that she saw the at, she could no longer hold herself back.
It was at, after all! So much wild boar at! Everyone wanted to eat it, and she was no exception. She almost salivated at the sight of the boar.
“Aunt Wang, you’re here too? I didn’t notice you before.”
An Jiuyue flashed Aunt Wang a fake smile before looking at the Junior Officer.
“Uncle, everyone here can have a share of my wild boar at, but Aunt Wang and her family are not allowed to have a single piece of at!”
“Why not?!” Aunt Wang shouted unhappily.
