Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 477

Chapter 477: Chapter 364: Wild Boar Herd

On the next day, it was the weekend.

Zhang Guoqing came out from Old Captain’s house and hurried back home. As soon as he entered the room, he quickly grabbed Zhou Jiao and left.

"What did Old Captain want with you?" Zhou Jiao asked as he came in.

"I’ll tell you in the evening. Let’s go first."

"Brother, why are you in such a hurry? Where are you taking me?"

Zhang Guoqing smiled mysteriously, "Let’s go quickly, before someone else shows up, and we won’t be able to leave."

"You really are something, not even saying where we’re going. Does our son have nothing to do with his mother?"

Zhang Guoqing glanced at her. So unlovable—does she think he’s so unreliable in doing things?

Feeling helpless, Zhou Jiao was pulled out the door. As they walked, Zhou Jiao stopped in her tracks, looking at him with full of suspicion, could it be what she was thinking?

Seeing this, Zhang Guoqing burst into laughter. He nodded towards Zhou Jiao, "You must have guessed it. It’s seven in the morning now, before four in the afternoon, you give the orders, and brother will accompany you for a wild adventure."

Zhou Jiao laughed out loud at Zhang Guoqing’s jest. She looked excitedly into the distance and confirmed again, "I give the orders, and you obey? Are you sure?"

"Mm-hmm, sure! Today, you call the shots." Seeing her reaction, Zhang Guoqing earnestly nodded and said. His wife was bold enough; does she really want to try the medicine?

Zhou Jiao chuckled, "I just wanted to test the efficacy. In the mountains, you know the situation better than I do. I’ll listen to your command."

Zhang Guoqing nodded and whispered, "I’ll take you to the wild boar herd. I’ll use the boars to test the medicine, you hold a gun up in the tree as lookout. If we encounter wolves, just shoot, are you afraid?"

"Afraid of what? My dad said I’m a genius. Rest assured, I’ll definitely protect you." Zhou Jiao proudly lifted her chin and said, completely forgetting she was the one who didn’t dare enter the mountain alone before.

Zhang Guoqing tried hard not to laugh, giving her a thumbs up, "Awesome! We’ll take a shortcut and we probably won’t run into wolves. Don’t stir the other animals we encounter. Our target this time is wild boars. If the sedative works, it’s a great harvest.

After we get the wild boars, I’ll take you to the cabin, where there’s a meadow and a big pond. We can fish and cook meat there. Cooking there, you don’t need to worry about anyone catching the scent."

Hearing this, Zhou Jiao eagerly took his arm and quickened her pace. Cooking meat—that’s a suggestion that really resonated with her. Ever since Lin Juhua smelled her cooking meat at night and came knocking, she didn’t dare do it again.

Going deeper and deeper into the woods, Zhang Guoqing noticed her pace was too slow and immediately had her climb onto his back.

With Zhou Jiao on his back, he sprinted at such a speed that Zhou Jiao blushed with embarrassment. She didn’t dare speak, obediently holding his neck.

Carrying Zhou Jiao, Zhang Guoqing suspiciously weighed her, noticing that since she shed her winter clothes, she became even lighter. He secretly pondered whether to go and gather some more nourishing herbs. He was really worried that after her difficult summer, she might not even weigh eighty pounds.

Running swiftly all the way, arriving at the Skyline, Zhang Guoqing couldn’t help but stop.

Zhou Jiao lay close to his ear and whispered, "Are we there?"

"Not yet, ahead is the Wild Boar Forest. Here is Skyline. Do you want to go in and gather herbs?"

Zhou Jiao quickly shook her head, realizing he couldn’t see, she whispered, "Last time you all gathered, what’s left? Did you forget I bought quite a bit? Hurry and test the medicine—this is the focus."

Zhang Guoqing looked up at the sky and thought it would be better to find some time to come up the mountain in a few days. How could processed tonic herbs from pharmacies compare to the peace of mind of ones he found himself? He planned to consult Mr. Wang first to see what’s most nourishing.
