It was 2 pm in the afternoon and Mo Beihan was hungry after spending the whole morning outside.

Mo Beihan had a big appetite. He finished almost all the food in a short period of time as the delicious food was cooked by Gu Qingyao.

“You should come back early if you are so hungry,” Gu Qingyao said.

Mo Beihan took a sip of the fish soup and smiled, “The food you cook is too delicious. I just can’t stop eating.”

After the meal, Mo Beihan went to peel the skin of the rabbit and the roe deer. Gu Qingyao boiled some water to handle the wild boar.

Mo Beihan did not plan to bring back all the animals he got and instead, settled all of them here.

The wild boar was small and weighed around a hundred kilograms. However, in that age, food was scarce and everyone would definitely envy them if they saw the boar. Unless, they share it with everyone.

Apparently, Mo Beihan did not have that plan. It was always better to remain a low profile, especially when food was concerned.

Gu Qingyao used some stones to form a circle in the puddle and put the six fish inside. She then used all the pots, jars to boil water.

The boiled water was used to remove hair from the skin. After that, she sliced open the boar and chopped its meat piece by piece. She washed the meat, sprinkled some salt on them and hung them on a rack with rope.

She did not throw away any pork’s blood but instead, put all into the aluminium pot. Now she understood why Mo Beihan brought such a big pot over. He definitely had planned for everything.

She chopped all the bones into smaller pieces so that it was easier to carry.

It was almost sunset after they had settled everything. Gu Qingyao noticed the time and asked, “Should we still go and pick the mushrooms? It’s getting dark soon!”

Mo Beihan took a glimpse at his watch. It was 4:30 pm.

“Let’s go. We try to pick as many as we can. We should head back late so that no one in the Brigade will see us.”

Gu Qingyao nodded. They did not plan to bring back everything but it would save them from many troubles if they would not meet anyone.
