Chapter 362 – Selling A Snake’s Gallbladder

Seeing the wild boar charge over, a faint smile formed on Lei Yu’s lips. He flipped his palm and was about slap down on the pig-head when at this time, Zhou Jun Sheng’s shout could be heard. “Don’t even think of hurting my friend! Hand your life over!”

After the enraged roar, the branch in Zhou Jun Sheng’s hand was now in the air before directly slamming on top of the wild boar’s head. After a loud “bang,” the wild boar started staggering in dizziness. Seeing this opportunity, Zhou Jun Sheng took out a blade on his waist and sliced at the neck of the wild boar. The wild boar immediately started flailing about before slumping over in its own pool of blood.

The smaller wild boar hurriedly turned around to escape after seeing this scene. Zhou Jun Sheng didn’t bother chasing after it and just shouted: “I’ll let you off today!”

“Are you alright brother? You didn’t get frightened, right?” Zhou Jun Sheng asked in a panic.

If others were to ask him this, Lei Yu would probably feel like laughing in their face. But when this Zhou Jun Sheng asked, Lei Yu actually felt touched. They’ve just met by chance, chatted some random words on their journey, and this Zhou Jun Sheng had treated Lei Yu like a good friend already. He even rushed forth in order to save Lei Yu, so how could he not be moved by this show of friendship?

“I’m fine, everything’s fine.”

“That’s good then!” Zhou Jun Sheng pulled out the blade lodged in the wild boar’s neck before carefully skinning it. The whole process took over half an hour because his actions looked like he was afraid of damaging the fur and wouldn’t be able to sell it at a good price.

Watching the skies darken, the two of them had only travelled a little over halfway before encountering the wild boars. This meant that there’s no way they’d be able to leave the mountains before it got dark.

“It’s all my fault that my hands weren’t agile enough and wasted our time. But don’t worry brother, I will definitely protect you while we stay overnight in this forest.” Said Zhou Jun Sheng while smacking his own chest.

“It’s not a big deal. I heard that the meat of wild mountain boars is delicious, and they aren’t as fatty as the domesticated pigs. Just in time when I’m hungry, how about we… roast it and have a taste?” Said Lei Yu as he pointed at the dead wild boar on the ground.

Zhou Jun Sheng smiled, “That’s easy to take care of. Wild boar meat is difficult to roast so it’s perfect to kill our time throughout the night.” After dropping the fur he was carrying on his back, he then used some dry branches to spread apart the wild boar’s skin so that it could dry for a bit. Only after this did he take out a fire stick to prepare a small campfire to roast the wild boar.

These two ate happily into the middle of the night. The wild boar meat was indeed very delicious; it wasn’t greasy at all and the succulent meat had a slight chewiness to it. Since the two couldn’t finish the entire wild boar, they wrapped up the leftovers in some wax paper so that they could eat it along their journey.

“Brother, you should go to sleep now. Once the sky brightens, we’ll begin our journey again.” Said Zhou Jun Sheng.

“What about you?”

“I’ll be staying on guard of the surroundings. Since we’ve just roasted some meat here, I’m afraid the wild beasts may have smelt the food and might come over.”

Lei Yu wanted to say something but upon seeing the sincerity in Zhou Jun Sheng’s eyes, he lightly coughed while nodding. Lei Yu then picked up a piece of flat stone to use as his pillow.

As we all know, Lei Yu didn’t actually need to eat any food. He knew how much energy one consumed after fighting so he wanted Zhou Jun Sheng to eat something to recover.

Throughout the night, Lei Yu happened to hear several clear “pak pak” sounds. He understood that it was Zhou Jun Sheng slapping himself in order to stay awake.

“This was a brother worth making a friend out of! But… once he leaves this test, most likely he will never be able to see him again.” Lei Yu felt a slight unwillingness in his heart.

“Brother, it’s time to wake up so we can continue on our journey. If we can sell the fur for a good price today, we’ll be able to make it back the next day. My mother is still waiting for me to refill the rice barrel.” Zhou Jun Sheng called out from the side.
