Chapter 58. The Daughter is Missing
But... Hua Jin had never seen such a gigantic wild boar in front of her. The tusks alone were almost as long as the blade of the dagger in her hand. It must weigh no less than three or four hundred pounds, and it had lived for a long time.
Such a large wild boar would make even Hua Jin, who was confident in her skills, nervous, especially since her current small frame had not reached her former strength.
While gripping the dagger in her hand tightly, she was also thankful for her father’s speed. Otherwise, facing such a large wild boar head-on... the mere thought of the destructive power was terrifying.
She and her father might dodge, but her brother would be in danger.
She hoped it was just a passing wild boar and that it would hurry up and leave.
Although such a large wild boar was worth some Silver Coin, you had to have the ability to earn it. Besides, for her, it was just a matter of drawing a few more pictures; anyone would be able to weigh the pros and cons.
Hua Jin kept praying in her heart, thinking about the guardian gods her grandmother worshipped on the first and fifteenth of each month, while her gaze was fixed on the approaching Zhu Ganglie.
Covered entirely with a layer of solid mud, the wild boar’s hard shell made Hua Jin grip her dagger tighter with deeper worry in her eyes.
Looking at her father who was holding her brother tightly in his arms, thinking of her family’s love for her, hesitation flickered in Hua Jin’s eyes.
The three of them huddled tightly behind a tree barely wide enough for a person without daring to move.
