At the entrance of Mang Village.
The 20 or so women had already put down their work and were quietly waiting for news from the mountains.
No one had expected that someone would be so bold as to enter the mountain in the middle of the night.
Of course, he did not tell this news to the boorish man's wife. If she could not withstand this blow, she might directly faint. While the situation was still unclear, it was better to keep it a secret for the time being.
Moreover, with Boor's bravery, he might not necessarily die on the mountain.
After waiting for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the women could vaguely see a hunting team coming down from the mountain.
The leader was Boor. He carried the corpse of a jackal on his left and right shoulders, and tied the axe to his waist with a rope. He walked down bare-chested.
Behind him were seventeen men from Mang Village, each of them carrying a jackal.
"Look! It was a boor! Boor is back!"
"That's…A man-eating beast in the mountains?"
"This... Isn't this too much?"
“........”
The women who were waiting were all dumbfounded when they saw the loot.
There were 20 jackals, and each of them had 15 pounds of meat, which added up to 300 pounds of meat.
This number was definitely not small during the Warring States Period.
After all, it was difficult for ordinary people to even eat enough corn, let alone eat meat.
Even if he went hunting occasionally, he would basically hunt some herbivores that were not aggressive, such as tigers and jackals. He would basically avoid them for fear of being attacked by these ferocious beasts.
"Quick, quick, quick! Don't just stand there, come and help!"
"Didn't you go to look for Boor? Why did he kill so many wolves?”
"We don't have the ability to do that. These wolves were all killed by Boor alone.”
" He fought alone?!"
The women immediately cried out in surprise, their eyes filled with disbelief.
Killing twenty jackals was already shocking enough, but now that he knew that all these ferocious beasts had died at the hands of one person, Boor was too brave.
There were a few unmarried young ladies who were curiously sizing up Boor's muscles, and their faces couldn't help but turn red.
Everyone wanted a strong husband, and it would be even better if this husband was handsome. Boor obviously met their courtship standards.
Unfortunately, Boor already had an unmarried wife. Moreover, he was famous for protecting his wife in Mang Village. He even personally heated the water to wash Mengyao's feet.
The other young ladies could only be envious of such treatment.
"Leave only four of the jackals here for me. Everyone else can share the rest.”
"Boor, you have to think carefully. These wolf skins and wolf meat can be sold for a lot of money.”
"What are you talking about? When our family was in trouble, didn't we rely on everyone's help to get through it?”
Boor looked at the people around him and said with a smile.
In this era, the villagers of a village would often help each other and tide over difficulties together.
Moreover, it wouldn't be long before he would join the Qin army and go to the frontlines of the Qin and Wei Dynasties to kill the enemies.
If he could come back alive, he would have been promoted and wouldn't need this wolf meat and wolf skin anymore. But if he died on the battlefield, Mengyao would be well taken care of by the kindness of giving her wolf meat and wolf skin.
"This…"
"Everyone, please accept it.”
"Since it's the boorish brat's kind intentions, then we'll split it evenly and give each family a little.”
The villagers, who were initially hesitant, immediately beamed with joy when they heard Li Zheng's grandfather's words.
This wolf meat was a good thing. It was definitely delicious to eat a piece of it in the winter.
Moreover, wolf skin could also be used to make clothes. It had a very good effect on resisting the coming winter.
After receiving Boor's gift, the people in the village naturally owed him a friendship. No matter whether they would need it in the future or not, with this guarantee, Boor could leave with peace of mind.
Although he had the 'boorish physique' and had almost become an undying existence, he was still alive.
However, the battlefield was ever-changing, and no one knew what would happen. They only had a higher survival rate than others, but it did not mean that they would not die.
Everyone was happily sharing the wolf meat and wolf skin. Only Li Zheng's grandfather was indifferent and walked towards Boor.
"Boor, do you want to join the army?”
"Yes, I want to give Xiao Yao a better life.”
"Actually, you can also rely on farming. Lord Shang Yang once said that those who produce more food and cloth can also be exempted from corvee and even have the chance to obtain a title.”
"This is too slow. Moreover, if you want to obtain a title by farming, you have to obtain a very outstanding reform.”
Boor shook his head and said.
He was not cut out for farming. He did not even know when to sow the seeds and how to do it.
If they waited until next year, the few acres of land at home might have become barren.
"Have you told Mengyao about this?”
"Yes, but she doesn't agree with me joining the army.”
"Sigh, the battlefield is cruel. After so many years, not a single person from our Mang Family Village has come back alive.”
"So, after I leave, can everyone please take care of Little Yao? If I die in the battlefield in the future, I'll have to trouble Li Zheng Grandpa to tell her not to wait for me.”
"What are you saying? You have to come back safely.”
Li Zheng's grandfather shook his head and said.
Boor was the strongest local soldier in the Mang Family Village in the past few decades. Every time he killed his prey, he would rush to the front. No matter what kind of danger he faced, he could erupt with a strong fighting spirit.
He had forced back the wild boars that had destroyed the farmland, and he was not afraid of the ferocious tigers at all. Now, he had even killed 20 jackals.
This sort of courage and strength was something that he had only seen from Great Qin's Generals.
He believed that Boor had the potential to become a fierce tiger that was about to leave the mountain!
