Shen Qinglan stood still for quite a while, seeing that the wild boar had no further movement, she then strode forward.
She saw a hole in the wild boar's head, with blood gushing out from it.
Shen Qinglan stepped forward, grabbed one of the pig's feet, and dragged it forward. Initially, she thought it would be quite strenuous, but, surprisingly, she easily moved the hundred-plus-pound wild boar.
Truly unexpected, after passing through, her strength had increased so much, and she was chased by the wild boar for quite a while earlier, yet she didn't feel the least bit tired now.
Shen Qinglan, dragging the wild boar as she walked, pondered if the sneaky heavens had a moment of conscience and possibly gave her some cheat code?
After she dragged the wild boar far off, three people emerged from behind a nearby boulder.
The leading youth appeared to be around seventeen or eighteen, with a slender build, dressed in a moon-white robe, a crystal-clear Jade Spirit Token tied around his waist, a white hair band pinned on his dark hair, his face was handsome and clear, having an outstanding aura and bearing.
On either side of him stood two young men dressed in black, whose contours and eyebrows were nearly identical, with only slight differences in skin tone, one being a bit lighter, and the other slightly darker.
The youth with somewhat darker skin remarked dumbfoundedly, "Who would've thought that, just upon coming down the mountain, we'd encounter such a master in these mountain villages and wilderness."
The other youth with fairer skin, looked at the leading youth and said, "Young Master, that girl seemed to be only thirteen or fourteen years old, yet she runs very fast, and her movements are extremely nimble. It's highly possible she's the daughter or disciple of some master."
The youth referred to as Young Master gazed in the direction where Shen Qinglan was departing, and after a while, calmly spoke to the two youths, "No matter whose daughter or disciple she is, it has nothing to do with us. Don't forget the purpose of descending the mountain this time."
The two heard this, hurriedly responded in unison, "Yes, Young Master!"
————
An hour later, at the entrance of Lishui Village.
After Shen Qinglan dragged the wild boar down the mountain, she did not head straight home but took a shortcut down to the village entrance to wait for the cart.
By this time it was already mid-morning, and due to the busy farming season, there were barely any people on the road.
Shen Qinglan waited for roughly a quarter of an hour before the ox cart finally appeared.
"Oh my, girl, where did this wild boar come from?"
The driver was startled upon seeing Shen Qinglan with the wild boar at hand.
Without lifting her head, Shen Qinglan replied, "I caught it."
Driver: "Did an adult in your family catch it? Wow, incredible, such a big guy must fetch quite a bit of money. Are you going to town? Where's your family?"
Shen Qinglan: "It's just me."
Driver: "Just you? Can you move it..."
Before the driver could finish his sentence, he saw Shen Qinglan grasp both pig legs with her hands and effortlessly lift it up...
The driver was stunned for quite a while, and when he regained his senses, Shen Qinglan was already on the ox cart with the boar.
This girl has such great strength!
Swallowing hard, the driver cautiously said, "Um, girl, with this boar here, I can't take any other passengers, you see..."
Shen Qinglan looked at him, lazily asking, "How much?"
Upon hearing this, the driver quickly replied with a smile, "Not much, not much, my cart usually carries up to ten people, two coins each, twenty coins in total, you just need to give me fifteen coins."
Shen Qinglan pondered for a while longer, then asked, "Which inn in town buys wild boar meat?"
The driver replied with a smile, "They all accept it, but one offers a higher price. I reckon your wild boar looks freshly caught, the meat should still be very fresh, and the price should be better."
Shen Qinglan nodded, "Take me to that one."
"Alright then, hold on tight, girl!"
