After filling their stomachs, the group carried the wild boar down the mountain.
The little black wolf silently followed beside Qin Mian.
Wu Di said in surprise: "It can't be that it wants to follow sister-in-law down the mountain, right?"
Qin Mian was also surprised, but he was even happier. He and Lei Tia were the only two people in the house, it was kind of deserted. He had wanted to raise a pet for a long time, it would be good if the little black wolf was willing to follow them.
"If it wants to follow, then let it follow." Qin Mian muttered to himself, "It's just that, Brother Zhang, Fourth Younger Brother, Wu Di, you better not tell anyone that it's actually a wolf so that the villagers won't panic."
Zhang Dashuan and the other two agreed to his request.
Zhang Dashuan reminded him, "You only need to restrain it, don't catch a chicken or duck." The little black wolf was still young, so it wasn't afraid of it harming others.
"Don't worry." Qin Mian made a promise as he glanced at Lei Tia, "Also, I hope you don't mention anything about the Clear Sincerity Pill." After living together for so long, he could tell that Lei Tia did not want to talk about the past.
Zhang Dashuan and the other two agreed to it.
Qin Mian did not want to dirty his courtyard so he let Lei Tia and Zhang Dashuan place the wild boar by the river.
Wu Di took the initiative and said, "I'll go invite Uncle Liao." Uncle Liao was an expert at slaughtering pigs, and everyone in the village invited him to do so.
"I'll go home and get the meat." Qin Mian said.
Lei Tia made Lei Xianglee stand guard by the river and left with Qin Mian. He was going back to carry firewood.
The little black wolf followed closely behind the two.
Entering the house, the little black wolf silently watched as Qin Mian rubbed the mud on his feet, mimicking what he said. Qin Mian and Lei Tia were secretly surprised.
Without waiting for the two to say anything, the little black wolf entered the house first and slowly walked around the rooms before coming out. It quietly sat down beside the sofa.
Qin Mian took out two pots and two bamboo baskets, while Lei Tia went to the back of the house to carry a bundle of firewood. Blacky followed them out the door.
Returning to the riverside, Lei Tia set up a simple stove and boiled water as backup.
When the villagers heard the news, they came one after another to watch the commotion.
Uncle Liao did not make a move for a few months, but his skills were still the same. He skillfully cleaned the wild boar.
There were a few families who laughed and wanted to buy the wild boar meat for their own pork, but Qin Mian did not agree to their offer. The wild boar meat is better than the pork at home and costs more than eight cents per catty. If he was willing to sell it at the price of pork, even if these people took advantage of him, they might call him a fool behind his back. Why should I? True friendship can't be developed with a few coins. It might as well be clearly calculated.
In the end, Qin Mian only gave Lei Xianglee, Zhang Dashuan and Wu Di ten kilograms each, and also thanked Uncle Liao five kilograms.
Uncle Liao returned with a beaming smile while holding the meat. He even told Lei Tia that if he still wanted to kill a pig in the future, he would need to find him at all times.
Qin Mian and Lei Tia brought the rest of the meat home to be marinated, hanging it to dry.
After finishing his work, Qin Mian finally had time to ask about the Savage Pill.
"Is what you said about the Clear Sentinel Pill true?"
Lei Tia nodded.
Qin Mian was startled, he flipped over his teacup, causing the tea to flow down the table, flowing down to the ground, "That kind of thing sounds very valuable. Even though I really want to save the little black wolf, I can still think of another method at that time."
Seeing that the tea was about to reach Qin Mian's feet, Qin Mian did not notice it at all. He shook his head slightly and moved his feet away, using two fingers to pick up the towel under the tea table to wipe the water.
"Don't think too much. If the treasures are to be put to use, then that is the real treasure, and when they are useless, that is when they are useless."
Qin Mian still cared a lot about it, "That man in white is not like an ordinary person. Now that he used the Detergent Pill, what do you want me to do?"
Lei Tia said with certainty: "I have a way, don't worry."
Qin Mian didn't know what to say, and looked at him in a daze. After a while, he muttered, "I said it was true that I saved it, and it really saved me."
"I do." Lei Tia looked at him, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, his deep gaze surprisingly carrying twenty percent of the joke.
Qin Mianxin immediately understood what he meant. He said that he did not remember the past, but he remembered the little black wolf. He did not know how to fool her. He coughed lightly, looked away, and said loudly: "Little Black Wolf will probably live with us from now on. What's his name?"
"You decide." Lei Tia helped him pour another cup of tea.
The little black wolf seemed to know what they were talking about and looked up at them.
Qin Mian looked at the white dot on its head and laughed.
"Proper." Lei Tia evaluated concisely.
"Alright. You'll be called 'Little White' from now on." Qin Mian bent over and touched the little black wolf's head.
The little black wolf did not move and let him touch it.
"Right, it would be best if you could bore a hole in the wall to make it easier for him to get in and out." Qin Mian said to Lei Tia, "I think, it might not stay at home all day long."
Lei Tia stood up, "I'll go now."
After Lei Tia left the room, he let out a small sigh and fell on the sofa, lost in thought. Lei Tia knew that he had not lost his memories, but he did not pursue the matter. Does he really not mind that I lied to him? However, from the looks of it, he was not the only one who had his own secrets. Lei Tia also had his own secrets. From what the man in white said, the Clear Scourge Pill was extremely precious, how could Lei Tia have it? The ten years he had left must not have been easy.
For some reason, when he thought of that Lei Tia had hidden something from him, his heart felt extremely uncomfortable.
A loud sound came from the courtyard. Qin Mian shouted, "Don't smash the whole wall down."
"Nope." Lei Tia's voice was calm and steady.
Qin Mian stood up and walked out, with a bit of white slowly following behind him. Even though it was still young, his posture already had the arrogance of a wolf.
A few bricks next to the gate were smashed apart by Lei Tia, revealing a hole bigger than a plate. Lei Tia used his hammer to break a few protruding sharp edges to prevent a little white from getting scratched.
Qin Mian squatted beside him, pointed at the hole and said: "If there's no one else, you can come in and out of here when there's no one else, understand?"
He lowered his body and crawled out of the hole in the wall with his belly pressed to the ground. After a while, he came back in again.
Qin Mian was pleasantly surprised, "I knew you were very smart."
A little white seemed to disapprove of his praise, his ears twitched, and he calmly sat down at his feet.
"Big brother, sister-in-law."
Lei Chuntao walked in with a smile, accompanied by the Madam Wei.
"Both of you are at home." Madam Wei laughed as she spoke.
Qin Mian replied politely: "I'm here." After Madam Wei entered the door, there were several times when she wanted to get close to her, but she always avoided her easily. He had no intention to get closer to the Madam Du, nor did he have the intention to get closer to him. He did not wish for Madam Wei's actions to cause him to turn her attention back to him and Lei Tia. How beautiful was it to sit back and watch the battle?
Madam Wei held a bowl in her hand and spoke quickly, "I came to thank you for the wild boar meat."This is the wok paste that I made this morning. Your little sister said it tastes really good, so we sent some over for you to try." She was and Lei Tia's mother on the surface, but there was a difference between males and females after all.
Qin Mian took the bowl, "Today, when we were hunting wild boars, the Fourth Younger Brother also contributed greatly, so we gave him some pork. I don't need to be so polite."
Madam Wei's smile froze, and she couldn't help but to re-evaluate Qin Mian. This youth wasn't that old, she didn't expect him to be so hard to deal with.
Qin Mian entered the house and went back to his own bowl. He returned the bowl to Madam Wei and pointed to something: "Thank you, little miss, for thinking of me and Lei Tia. Actually, Lei Tia and I are not young anymore, and are both able to take good care of ourselves. As long as you take good care of Father and Mother, we can be at ease."
Madam Wei took the bowl and smiled slightly, but did not say anything for a moment.
Lei Chuntao saw a bit of whiteness on it and walked over happily."Hey, sister-in-law, is this the little black dog you guys picked up? "So cute."
"It's called a little white." Qin Mian warned, "Be careful. It doesn't know you now, so I'm afraid it will be very fierce."
Lei Chuntao was a little afraid of meeting those deep white eyes, and did not dare to approach them again.
Madam Wei looked at the three pepper trees in the courtyard and asked curiously, "What flowers are these?" She subconsciously thought it was a flower.
Qin Mian had long plucked the pepper on the pepper tree and planted it in the begi ing of spring.
"It's really quite interesting." Qin Mian replied carelessly.
The Madam Wei did not continue asking and instead invited them in."I plan to make some good dishes with the wild boar meat tonight. There will be a dry pot of wild boar meat and red-braised wild boar meat. All of you, have a nice drink."
Qin Mian tactfully refused, "Thank you very much, Mother. However, I'm a little tired today, so we won't go."
Since Madam Wei was unable to do so, she could only say: "Alright, let's gather again in the future when we have the chance. Chuntao, it's time to go back."
After seeing them walk far away, Qin Mian said to Lei Tia, "I can also cook the Dry-Fried Wild Boar Meat and Red Braised Boar Meat."
Lei Tia looked up at him, then lowered his head, "You want to eat these two dishes tonight?"
"The Red Braised Meat is too greasy, it's not suitable for eating at night." Qin Mian said, "Tonight, we will cook a dry pot of wild boar meat, steamed meat with powder, and fried vegetables. I'm going to the garden."A little white, let's go."
Lei Tia watched him carry the vegetable basket and walk far away, then retracted his gaze.
The vegetables in the garden had all grown up. It was most likely because the Spirit Spring Water had been watered before, so none of the vegetables had insects.
Qin Mian pulled out a basket of green and oily spinach, looked around, only to see that there was no one around him, so he secretly sprinkled a few more Spirit Spring Water s into the field.
When he returned home, it was as usual for Lei Tia to pick vegetables and wash.
As there was more white meat, Qin Mian made more of the Dry-Fried Wild Boar and Steamed Meat. He filled a bowl with the meat and gave it to the white meat on the ground before bringing the dishes to the table.
"How many drinks?" Qin Mian asked.
Lei Tia was surprised, but immediately said: "I'll go get the wine."
The two of them sat next to each other as Lei Tia poured two cups of wine.
Qin Mian lifted his wine cup and took a sip, he was spicy to the point that he stuck his tongue out and his brain was in a daze for two seconds. Damn, this wine is much stronger than the modern ones.
