Chapter 61
The crowd was shocked and stopped.
Jia Dongxu put down his hands, no longer covering his face, letting everyone see clearly; his face was red and his neck thick, and he wished he could find a mouse hole to crawl into and hide.
Too embarrassing!
Social death!
"Jia Dongxu, do you have a hobby of streaking?"
Sha Zhu laughed.
The bad habit of having a foul mouth had been there since childhood.
The neighbors also burst into laughter; no one expected the hooligan to be Jia Dongxu.
Jia Zhangshi's face turned red.
The hooligan was her son, so she was also embarrassed.
"Why don't you hurry home?"
Jia Zhangshi was furious, holding a broom in her hand, and whipped Jia Dongxu heavily.
Jia Dongxu jumped up with an "ow" and turned to run home.
A burst of laughter followed behind him.
They had more tea-time conversation topics.
Jia Dongxu streaking—was it moral decay or a special hobby?
They could argue about it for a month.
"You little brat, you really gave me face."
"Tell me, what's going on?"
Returned home.
Jia Zhangshi was furious and questioned Jia Dongxu.
He was fine when he went out in the morning; how did he come back without any clothes?
Even his shoes were gone!
Front courtyard.
The Third Aunt and a group of young girls and young wives started discussing.
"Do you think Jia Dongxu has something wrong with his brain?"
"I don't think so; he has blood on him, was he robbed outside?"
"Robbers only want money; how could they want clothes?"
"That's not necessarily true; maybe it was a beggar who robbed him, lacking food and clothing, wanting money and also wanting clothes, so they stripped Jia Dongxu naked."
The crowd's talk became more and more outrageous.
Just one hour later, the most exaggerated version came out.
It said Jia Dongxu met a female savage, was taken a fancy to by the female savage, was slept with by the female savage, and ran out while the female savage wasn't paying attention.
When the rumors were spreading.
Wan Ping'an, who was hunting in the mountain forest, had a major discovery.
"This, isn't this ginseng?"
"So lucky!"
"It's a pity the age is a bit low, only ten years, but it's also a rare medicinal material."
"Add some other medicinal materials to match it, use it to stew chicken, and you can make a medicinal meal, which is not only delicious but also very nourishing for the body."
Wan Ping'an's eyes lit up.
He broke off a branch to use as a small shovel and dug carefully.
After half an hour of digging, he dug out the ginseng completely without any damage, which could maximize the retention of medicinal efficacy.
"The products in the mountains are truly rich!"
"There is all kinds of wild game, and there are precious medicinal materials, but it's just too dangerous."
"There are ferocious wild beasts like wild boars and tigers; if an ordinary person encounters them, there is a ninety-nine percent chance of dying, and the hope of survival is slim."
"Even an experienced old hunter must be very careful."
Wan Ping'an put away the ginseng.
And continued hunting.
It was a pity.
What he encountered next were all small prey, like pheasants and rabbits; large prey was nowhere to be seen.
"I understand."
"I haven't entered the deep mountains yet; on the outskirts, most are small animals."
Wan Ping'an understood.
He decided to go to the deep mountains.
It was noon.
He was hungry.
He cleared a small open space by a small river, took out a pheasant, and roasted it.
Lunch was a pheasant!
Sob, sob, sob.
The wind started to blow.
Dark clouds began to gather.
"Oh no, the weather is about to change."
"Hunting cannot continue."
"In bad weather, wandering into the deep mountains and old forests alone is looking for death."
Wan Ping'an decided to head back.
When the weather is good, he would continue hunting.
Turning around.
Wan Ping'an hurried along.
Hoping to get out of the mountain forest before the storm arrived!
