But upon closer inspection, there were still so differences.
Gu Nian thought to herself, such a small rabbit had lost its mother. Who knows if it could survive.
While everyone’s attention was on the wild boar, she secretly put the rabbit into her space, placing it in an especially tender patch of grass.
Lin Sanshui and Mrs. Jiang had just finished grinding the pea flour and returned, only to see the three children holding hands and running back.
"Dad, Dad, there’s a big wild boar, hurry..." Little Hu was impatient, but the run back had tired him out, and he spoke in a halting manner that made it hard to follow.
Lin Sanshui was startled, "What big wild boar? Could it be the wild boars from the mountain have co down?"
"No...it’s not!" Little Hu spoke slowly and couldn’t get the words out, so Sanhu finally spoke up, "It’s by the river where we picked snails, there’s a dead big wild boar there, Dad, let’s quickly go and bring the wild boar back?"
Lin Sanshui twitched the corner of his mouth, "What does a dead big wild boar have to do with us? Maybe soone else hunted it and left it there, are you all craving at again..."
Hadn’t they just eaten at a few days ago, Lin Sanshui thought helplessly.
Gu Nian originally wanted to lower her presence, so she didn’t speak up.
But after seeing Lin Sanshui’s attitude, she couldn’t keep quiet any longer and quickly said, "Dad, that wild boar ran out from the forest and tried to ram into . Then a big brother saved and killed the wild boar. He left afterward, and I waited there for a long ti, but he never ca back. He probably doesn’t want the wild boar anymore, and since no one wants it, why don’t we take it?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Sanshui realized this matter involved Gu Nian again.
But he only cared about the wild boar and had no ti to question her about other things, so he hurriedly grabbed Little Hu and rushed outside, not forgetting to instruct, "Have Little Hu lead there first, Sanhu, you quickly run to call your Uncle One and Uncle Two to join us."
Before the words were finished, she was already gone.
Sanhu also quickly ran out the door, heading toward his uncles’ houses.
The family mbers dispersed quickly, leaving only Mrs. Jiang and Gu Nian in the courtyard.
"Niannian, did the wild boar injure you? Are you hurt? Co over here and let Mom check you out." As she spoke, Mrs. Jiang reached out to pull Gu Nian.
However, she accidentally grabbed her injured arm, causing Gu Nian to wince in pain.
Only then did Mrs. Jiang realize that Gu Nian was indeed injured.
After pulling back Gu Nian’s sleeve and seeing that the scratch was not far away, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"You child, luckily it’s nothing serious. If this injury were on your face, what would you do in the future?" For a girl, facial disfigurent is no trivial matter.
Gu Nian giggled with a hint of flattery, "Mom, I didn’t expect a wild boar to charge at either. Besides, Third Brother and Little Brother said they often fish there and have never seen a wild boar."
Mrs. Jiang said nothing more and instead brought water to wash Gu Nian’s wound.
One could say this child was truly lucky.
Others went there often without a sight of wild boars, yet she saw one after just a couple of visits, and not only did she not lose her life under the boar’s feet, but she was also saved and gained a wild boar for free.
This luck, indeed, was unmatched.
Erhu finally couldn’t hold back and ca out of the house, pestering Gu Nian about the danger at that ti.
This ti Gu Nian didn’t make use of the space, and it was all true events, so she didn’t have anything to hide, telling Erhu everything in detail.
