The next morning, He Lang borrowed a bicycle from the brigade and took Xue Yue to Yangjia Gou.
Xue Yue had always been curious why He Lang was always able to borrow a bicycle whenever he went to the brigade.
Only now did she understand that it wasn't free. It cost ten cents each time. The brigade's bicycles would just sit there otherwise, so it was better to earn a little money from them. Besides, not many people borrowed them anyway—aside from He Lang, it was mainly the educated youth.
As soon as Xue Yue saw Xue Xingzhou, she circled him, looking him up and down.
"Brother, you're not hurt, are you?"
Xue Xingzhou chuckled at her antics. "No, I shot it with a bow and arrow. I just finished it off with my knife at the end."
Xue Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief, but then her expression turned fierce. "Did you go into the deep mountains?" she demanded of Xue Xingzhou. "How else could you have hunted a wild boar?"
