Transmigration: I Have Storage Space in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 534

Chapter 534: Chapter 530: Troublesome Matters When Returning to Hometown 65 [Mass Release 59]

——————

In Lin Caixia’s long-held belief, the game on Daqing Mountain was almost like the private breeding ground for the third branch of the Xie Family.

Xie Jingchen was the first in the Xie Family to dare to gamble and gradually mastered hunting skills, which he then taught to his own father and brothers.

While other families were struggling, the Xie Family still occasionally had meat, so their quality of life was quite decent.

Even without Xie Jingchen, the second uncle, relying on the trapping techniques he left behind, the family could still manage to catch some wild game.

Later, Xie Jingchen married Yan Jinsu and the game at home never ceased. Although they lived in town, their mother-in-law was always fair. Whenever they returned home, she would give them fresh if there was fresh, or pickled if there was none, to take back to town for the children and their father to add some meat to their diet.

Yan Jinsu had been able to hunt wild boars, the Xie Family found out last year, and the family ate well!

But now, she’s actually teaching these skills, which can’t even be bought, to the villagers? And for free?!

Compared to her husband’s simple shock, she felt quite upset!

She, as a sister-in-law, had no right to criticize her actions, but it endangered the interests of the Xie Family...

Actually, Lin Caixia, with this mindset, even initially, Xie Jinghong and Zhou Xiuhua couldn’t understand why Yan Jinsu was so generous in helping the villagers.

Yan Jinsu happened to hear about it and specifically explained that the species on the mountain were reproducing too much due to a lack of "natural predators," posing a danger to the mountains and leading to resource depletion due to the heavy burden of wild fauna.

Moreover, the main point is, the more there are smaller beasts, the higher the risk: the more the lower-level beasts, the easier it is to attract stronger wild animals moving in!

This time it was the expelled Wild Wolf leader, but what about next time? Maybe leopards, tigers...

Hearing Yan Jinsu say this and getting Mr. Xie’s agreement, Zhou Xiuhua and her daughter no longer dared to stop Yan Jinsu from being so "generous."

After all, this was their hometown. If large beasts were to invade, they wouldn’t even have a place to cry!

Thinking further, these past few years, thanks to good weather, not to mention the lush mountain forests, even near their village at the foot of the mountain, the flatlands were covered in lush wild grass and tall wormwood. Several households in the village had bought goats and cattle to graze, and there wasn’t a bald spot in sight!

Thinking this way, it seemed like she could see a fierce tiger emerging before her eyes, causing Zhou Xiuhua to blurt out that she should hurry and train more children to hunt all the game on the mountain.

No more "rations" up the mountain meant wild wolves, tigers, and leopards should all get out of Qingfeng Village.

Although Xiao Yi and Xiao’er hadn’t grown up close to Yan Jinsu, they had learned self-defense from her when she taught Xie Jingzi at home.

Despite their young ages, children from rural families at thirteen or fourteen are considered young adults, and could get married in another three or four years.

Their strength and speed in training were much faster than Xie Jingzi, a little girl. Plus, over the past half-year, lacking the support of Grandpa and Grandma, with their mother not using her brains much and their petite frame, eating more than others yet hardly working any less than an adult man.

"Good, keep it up!" Zhou Weimin cheered for Xiao Yi. The village committee had to weigh vehicles frequently, and their yard was quite large—a lap was about two to three hundred meters.

Yan Jinsu watched Xiao Yi and Xiao’er starting at the same pace, but by one fifth, Xiao’er had fallen behind Xiao Yi by half a meter, by one third, a meter more.

By half the distance, Xiao Yi, being a bit older, had gained over a meter, finishing three steps ahead of Xiao’er.

"Well done! This speed, really flying legs!" Xie Jingbin smiled as he patted Xiao Yi on the shoulder, praising him.

"Not bad, Xiao Yi and Xiao’er have both improved a lot. You see, with Xiao Yi’s speed, I wouldn’t even take him up the mountain, you guys, why not try competing with him?" Yan Jinsu shrugged her shoulders and laughed, asking the surrounding teenagers.

"Why can’t he go?" one boy, obviously around Xiao Yi’s age, cried out. His speed was even less than Xiao Yi’s!

"Because, there are still wild wolves on the mountain, and at Xiao Yi’s age, it’s still a bit young. I fear if you really saw a wild wolf, you’d be so scared you wouldn’t be able to move, burdening Da Rong’s subordinates! So, if you want to go up the mountain, at the very least, you need to run fast, so you have a chance to escape if there’s danger!"
