No one objected to this. Although everyone's eyes were glued to the wild boar, they weren't the type to covet it. They simply admired it, purely and genuinely. But they also held a natural reverence for the soldiers and would never take advantage of them.
He Chen escorted Ming Mei and the others down the mountain. After walking a few steps, Ming Mei suddenly thought of something and turned back to ask, "Comrade Zou Ning, I wanted to ask—can we come back up the mountain in a few days to forage for vegetables and such?"
Zou Ning replied, "Wait a bit longer. We'll be clearing out the wild boars in the area soon. But the forest is vast, and there's no guarantee we'll catch every one. We'll patrol the area a few more times to make sure it's safe. If you want to be cautious, wait a bit longer—no more than a month."
Ming Mei nodded, "Got it. Thank you."
Zou Ning gave a slight nod, then turned and left with his team.
