GBP Chapter 18 Stretching Neck
Chapter 18 Stretching Neck
In order for Chen Xu, Xia, and Qin Qixiu to have their own rooms in the future, he had to have a building built upstairs.
After the meal, Qin Qiming asked, "Mom, could you help me find out who has the best cooking skills? I need to build the station one floor upstairs."
Liu Xiuqin immediately understood what her son meant.
"Okay, I'll look into it over the next couple of days."
Qin Qiming had some money, but his expenses were also considerable. He needed to hunt more animals to sell and raise funds so he could cover the labor costs of building the second floor.
The house we currently live in is a mud-walled, wood-framed structure.
If funds are sufficient, the construction of the second floor can be completed in just ten days to half a month.
Chen Xu is already fourteen years old. If he continues to sleep with his younger sister, he will have no private space.
Min's dormitory for educated youth was a very small single room, so she couldn't bring her younger siblings to live with her. Therefore, she simply squeezed herself into the station.
Anyway, she's Qin Qiming's girlfriend now, so she's not afraid of anything happening between them.
After a long and busy day, everyone finally went to bed.
At four o'clock in the morning, Qin Qiming dressed neatly, secretly took a hunting rifle out of the station, and locked the courtyard behind him.
It's full of women and children; we have to be careful.
After going up the mountain, Qin Qiming first checked whether the traps he had set had caught any prey.
It turned out that there weren't any.
There was no other way but to continue deeper into the mountains and forests.
The winter was extremely cold. Luckily, I was wearing a leather jacket, otherwise I would have either frozen to death or suffered frostbite.
Qin Qiming walked along the path, paying attention to the tracks on the ground as he went, mainly looking for animal tracks.
Soon, they stopped.
A wild boar was foraging for food not far ahead.
The weapons Qin Qiming currently possesses can only cause superficial wounds at most, and he is only one person. If he were to fight against a wild boar, it would be enough to knock him off the cliff once it charges at him.
Wild boars are incredibly fierce; once they launch an attack, they will fight to the death.
Qin Qiming cautiously backed away, but suddenly noticed movement behind him.
Turning around, I saw another wild boar!
"Oops!"
Qin Qiming's heart tightened as he realized he was in trouble.
He looked around nervously; the only way out was to escape between the two wild boars.
Qin Qiming is confident in handling this matter.
He was unsure of himself in the face of wolves. But wild boars, on the other hand, were less alert.
He believed he had a chance of escaping.
So he cautiously retreated, but unexpectedly a white fox appeared...
Qin Qiming was stunned.
If a hunter encounters a white fox in the mountains, he will not attack it.
The white fox, hedgehog, weasel, bean peacock, and snake in the mountains are known as the Five Immortals.
The white fox stared at Qin Qiming.
Qin Qiming dared not move, but the wild boar was gradually approaching, making him extremely uneasy.
The wild boars were getting closer and closer to him; he could even hear their panting.
Suddenly, the white fox moved.
Qin Qiming was so angry he wanted to kick it.
Finally, the wild boar noticed Qin Qiming.
"Depend on."
Qin Qiming instinctively drew his short spear and pressed it against the tree trunk.
The wild boar charged at him, ramming him forcefully.
But instead of hitting him, he was pierced through the body by the short spear and fell to the ground motionless.
The other wild boar also noticed Qin Qiming, but seeing its companion fall, it roared and charged at him.
The wild boar roared and charged wildly. Qin Qiming immediately jumped up and ran away, rushing towards the location of the white fox.
The white fox's fur stood on end; it was probably thinking about Qin Qiming, the real dog.
The wild boars' charge was unstoppable.
Qin Qiming suddenly rolled over and fell to the ground in the snow.
Then the wild boar transformed and charged towards the white fox.
The white fox turned and ran away at top speed, but the wild boar chased after it like a madman. It only stopped after knocking the white fox away and realized that it had chased the wrong target.
Just then, a bullet flew in and hit the wild boar right in the rump!
The wild boar turned around and charged at Qin Qiming again, howling loudly.
Qin Qiming immediately turned and ran, weaving through the woods in an attempt to avoid the wild boar.
The wild boar kept ramming into the trees for a while.
Even the thickest skin can hardly withstand it, resulting in a head injury and bleeding.
Qin Qiming stood on the rocky cliff, aiming his hunting rifle at the wild boar.
boom!
The shot hit the wild boar directly in the eye.
The wild boar let out a strange cry of pain and charged at Qin Qiming again.
Enraged, it didn't notice the cliff behind Qin Qiming. When it rushed close, Qin Qiming jumped up and leaped directly over the wild boar.
The wild boar charged out and fell off the cliff.
Qin Qiming soon heard a sound, leaned down to look at the bottom of the cliff, and saw that the wild boar was not moving.
Seeing that both wild boars were dead, Qin Qiming finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Just then, I noticed something limping towards me.
Upon closer inspection, it was discovered to be a white fox.
The fact that the white fox wasn't gored to death by the wild boar proves that it was very clever.
The white fox seemed to have no ill intentions towards Qin Qiming; it simply sat there, watching him like a docile cat.
Qin Qiming scoffed, "You're strong, you're invincible, is that enough?"
The white fox stuck out its tongue, as if mocking him, its large tail swaying back and forth.
Qin Qiming sighed helplessly, realizing that he had been mocked by the white fox.
But he didn't plan to take action against the white fox because it was neither tasty nor likely to frighten the children in his family.
Qin Qiming sighed again, sat up, ignored the white fox, tied the wild boar's legs, and dragged it down the mountain.
The white fox followed closely behind.
After walking for a while, Qin Qiming looked back and found that the white fox was still following him, keeping a certain distance, neither attacking him nor leaving.
He didn't know the white fox's purpose, so he could only let it follow him.
Keep going...
The white fox actually followed them all the way to the station.
When Qin Qiming turned around, the white fox was sitting there watching him.
Qin Qiming asked, "You want to come home with me?"
The white fox pondered for a moment, then walked up to him.
It was only then that Qin Qiming noticed that its leg was injured.
He thought for a moment, then decided not to chase the white fox away, but to let it follow him.
I opened the door and walked into the yard, and the white fox followed me in.
It looked around the yard, found a spot, and lay down.
"I am back!"
"You little rascal, you went hunting first thing in the morning? Really..."
As soon as Qin Qiming called out, Liu Xiuqin immediately pushed open the door with a smile and came out, but she was stunned before she could finish speaking.
She saw Qin Qiming leading two wild boars, with a white fox following beside him!
"Oh dear, why did you bring Grandma Hu San Tai here!"
Qin Qiming turned to look at the white fox and asked, puzzled, "What milk?"
Liu Xiuqin pointed to the door and shouted, "Grandma Hu! Why did you bring her home?"
Qin Qiming was taken aback: "Grandma Hu San? This is a white fox!"
Liu Xiuqin: "Don't talk nonsense. I saw her when I was a child. She was still small then and not as tall as she is now."
"You saw her when you were a child? This white fox is already this old?"
Liu Xiuqin said sternly, "Pah, pah, pah! Children say the darndest things. Let me tell you, no one dares to disrespect Grandma Hu San!"
Qin Qiming looked at the white fox again, his expression strange.
The white fox seemed to understand, and lazily stretched its neck.
