Chapter 373 The One Who Took the Blame
The wild boar’s head slammed into a tree.
The next moment, its neck snapped, and it fell to the ground, lifeless.
Chen Yang stood up and walked towards the wild boar.
Liu Ran, looking nervous, called out softly to Chen Yang, "Chen Yang, Chen Yang, don't go over yet. Let's wait and see the situation. This is a wild boar, and it's incredibly strong. Those tusks can pierce a person's stomach."
Chen Yang chuckled and waved at Liu Ran, saying, "Don't worry. I've lived in the mountains for a long time and am very experienced with dealing with things like wild boars and wolves."
Chen Yang walked over and kicked the wild boar with his foot.
The wild boar didn't move.
Chen Yang smiled and said, "It's fine now. Everyone come over. This wild boar is completely dead. It was too stupid and ran into the tree, killing itself."
Chen Yang said this intentionally.
In reality, the moment the wild boar charged, he had kicked its neck, breaking its cervical spine.
The subsequent impact with the tree was purely due to inertia. Now, Chen Yang intentionally claimed the boar had killed itself by hitting the tree to avoid suspicion.
Liu Ran, Su Ya, and the others walked over. Seeing that the wild boar had indeed killed itself, the women were overjoyed.
Chen Yang said, "Alright, looks like we'll have meat for the next two days."
Liu Ran nodded and said, "Yes, yes! Let's finish this boar before we go back. Wow, the surprises today just keep coming!"
With that, Liu Ran eagerly returned to the campfire and picked up another piece of badger meat, eating it heartily.
Liu Ran didn't know what was happening to her. She was eating an extraordinary amount today. Before, her appetite was average, but today she had already eaten over ten pounds of badger meat and still felt unsatisfied.
Su Ya, Lin Xiaoli, and the others, though also wanting to eat, all clutched their stomachs after a small piece of meat, unable to eat any more.
After all, badger meat was very substantial and filling.
Later, the few women could only watch Chen Yang and Liu Ran continuously eating.
Su Ya said dejectedly, "Liu Ran, your stomach is truly enviable. You eat so much and still stay so slim. You're practically an enemy to all women in the world!"
Lin Yueyu, standing nearby, said resentfully and dejectedly, "Yes, yes, Ms. Liu, please share your secret. How do you eat so much without gaining weight?"
"You have no idea how miserable we are as celebrities. To maintain our figure and have opportunities to appear on screen, we usually measure our meals by the calorie count of a single shrimp. We don't dare to eat more than a large shrimp."
"Many actresses, to control their weight, have voluntarily undergone gastric sleeve surgery, reducing their stomachs to a tiny size."
"So, Ms. Liu, you're too fortunate. You eat so much and maintain such a perfect figure. Oh my goodness!"
Liu Ran, eating meat, mumbled, "You're all misunderstanding. I didn't used to eat much, but for some reason, I felt very hungry tonight, and my digestion is incredibly strong."
"The badger meat seems to have vanished as soon as it enters my stomach. It's so strange."
"I'm even afraid that if I keep eating like this, I'll gain ten pounds a week. Oh heavens, I'll definitely turn into an ugly monster."
Su Ya smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay. Even if you become an ugly monster, it doesn't matter. You're already married, and Chen Yang is there to take you in. What do you have to worry about?"
Chen Yang, sitting and eating, chuckled and said, "That's right, darling, don't worry. Eat to your heart's content. Even if you become a three-hundred-pound fatty, I can still carry you."
Liu Ran, hearing this, playfully hit Chen Yang and huffed, "You're the one who's three hundred pounds! You... your whole family is three hundred pounds!"
The group burst into laughter.
Just then, a light appeared on the hillside, and a figure walked quickly towards them.
Liu Ran, Su Ya, and the others stood up, looking nervously at the approaching figure.
Soon, Liu Ran relaxed and said, "No need to worry, it's cousin. Cousin is back."
Even from a distance, Liu Ran recognized the person's appearance.
Su Ya turned to Liu Ran curiously and said, "Liu Ran, your eyes are amazing. I have 5.2 vision, at its peak, yet I can't see who's coming. How can you tell?"
Liu Ran blinked, feeling puzzled. She realized her eyesight did seem better than usual.
At this moment, Meng Qingxue got closer. She was holding a flashlight, her face grim and angry as she strode towards them.
Lin Yueyu and the others immediately waved at Meng Qingxue, saying, "Cousin, you're here at the perfect time! Quick, come and eat the roast meat. The freshly roasted badger meat is delicious!"
"Cousin, look, today we not only got this huge badger but also a wild boar! We can eat to our heart's content for the next two days."
Meng Qingxue walked over, clicked off her flashlight with a "clack," and said angrily, "Shut up, all of you! The more you mention it, the angrier I get. I'm so angry, I could just die!"
Meng Qingxue said this and walked towards Chen Yang.
Chen Yang sat on the ground without moving.
Meng Qingxue, furious, shoved him, saying, "Move, move! It's all your fault, you bastard."
"I'm here to say goodbye to you all. I can't continue this outing with you. I have to return to the police force."
Lin Yueyu and the others were all astonished. They gathered around Meng Qingxue, asking, "Cousin, what happened?"
"Yes, cousin, didn't you take three days off? Why are you leaving so soon?"
"Did something happen downstairs just now? That explosion was so loud, and there were so many police cars. Do you have an urgent mission?"
Meng Qingxue sniffled. Seeing the fragrant badger meat on the rack, she couldn't help but grab a piece and start eating.
She said angrily, "Don't even mention it. It's all because of that scoundrel Chen Yang. He said he'd take me hunting, but he just threw dynamite into the cave."
"I didn't help him at all."
"If that were all, it would be fine. But this scoundrel dragged the prey out of the cave and then went up the mountain, leaving me alone at the foot of the mountain."
"The explosion was so loud that police cars showed up, and I ended up taking the blame. They all thought I had set off the dynamite!"
When Lin Yueyu and the others heard this, their eyes widened, and they all looked at Chen Yang with disdain.
Su Ya said, "I get it now, Chen Yang. No wonder you managed to hunt such a large badger. It turns out you used dynamite!"
"But Chen Yang, you're too much. How could you leave cousin there to take the blame? That's not right."
The other women nodded in agreement, all condemning Chen Yang.
