Transmigrated & Triumphant: Defying Destiny's Chosen One-Chapter 486 - 39: [Additional Update 3 for Qingyi Qian Dan Alliance Leader]
The sprawling mountains behind the military base aren’t really as resource-rich as the ones back home.
By resources, we mean edible ones.
For instance, wild boars.
But you can’t really blame these grand mountains.
Given the location, with the troops rooted at the foot of the hills, and so many soldiers running training exercises in the mountains every other day, is it wrong to take care of pests in the process?
Not at all!
Chu River, full of confidence, ventured into the mountains with a big sack, climbed over two peaks, and didn’t spot a single piglet. Not to mention rabbits or wild chickens, those little chickens and little rabbits are even smaller than the squirrels bouncing around in the treetops!
She had prepared thoroughly, knowing there was a river in the mountains, brought a fishing net and a big sack... Now, after the whole morning, she got nothing but mushrooms.
Chu Aiguo was furious.
With five kids at home and only a little spare cash, if they didn’t generate more income, how were they going to settle accounts with Chen Changhai when he delivered goods?
She was doing it all for the family!
Touched by her own dedication, she felt incredibly noble!
But that was no excuse for coming back empty-handed.
Looking at the sky now, she grit her teeth and continued into the deep mountains.
No way! She couldn’t believe these sprawling mountains couldn’t offer a bit of meat!
Reaching the fourth peak, Chu River finally spotted a stretch of smooth river, and without a word, she began casting her net. Whatever lay beneath, she threw in her net without delay.
The borrowed fishing net unfurled with a graceful arc, slowly sinking into the water. The serene riverwater tinged with a subtle green reflected the trees on both banks, appearing content and leisurely.
"Whack!"
Chu River stepped squarely on the silent, slithering snake’s head beside her.
In the forest, danger lurked everywhere.
Noticing slight ripples in the river, she seized the moment, heaving the net with all her might.
The fishing net, typically requiring several people to haul together, felt featherlight in her hands as if nothing had been caught, yet Chu River pulled the net ashore filled with joy.
—Abundant!
Big grass carp, big white fish, small crucian carp, carp, and a hodgepodge of other fish...
Aside from tossing back the really tiny ones, the rest filled up a whole sack—the very sack that had been the hero for wild boar meat last time.
After some time cleaning fish by the riverbank, a flock of wild ducks flew by, happily paddling across the water.
Chu River’s eyes gleamed. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
Chicken and duck meat, she hadn’t tasted the first two in ages!
No further thought needed, she gathered a pile of pebbles from the riverbank, aimed them at the flock of ducks, and launched them. The lead ducks didn’t even have time to quack before sinking softly below the surface.
Without hurry, Chu River scattered another handful of stones, not even worrying when the few escaped ducks flapped away; instead, she quickly cast the fishing net over that area...
One, two, three... A full 17 wild ducks!
Abundant!
Now Chu River had no complaints about these mountains, instead considering them prime treasure lands. She packed the ducks with the fish in the same sack, glanced at the nearly bulging bag, and decided to head back directly.
If she bagged anything else, the sack wouldn’t fit!
Ascending the mountain took longer due to endlessly seeking out resources, but descending with only one goal, Chu River marched with ease, the sack almost engulfing her, as her feet flew beneath her.
Yet not far along, she spied several large wild boars sluggishly approaching the riverbank.
Chu River: ...
You can’t say she’s inconsiderate; if they deliver themselves, isn’t it unwise to refuse?
She set down the sack, while three or four boars pricked their ears to attention and stared back.
Oh dear!
Bipedal creatures remain common foes in the forest!
Without a word, the leading pair of audacious boars dug their hoofs into the ground, rushing toward her with a vengeance.
Wild boar charge!
Chu River almost burst with joy—
Two, two, two!!!!
These could sell for 700 bucks!!!
She charged right in.
Moments later, the forest reverberated with frantic squeals, accompanied by fleeing beasts crashing around, sending birds fluttering in all directions.
Chu River felt a bit worn out too.
She sat on the ground then, gazing at the enormous sack beside her, then at the two equally gigantic boars. A sweet worry welled up within her.
How exactly to carry them down?
Wild boars could wait; fish couldn’t be delayed.
After a moment of thought, Chu River hoisted her big sack and descended the other side of the mountain, completely bypassing the military base, directly heading to a villager’s place at the mountain’s foot, traded ten bucks for a cart and a hefty sheet of thick burlap.
