Gu Nian naturally had no objections to staying outside for a little longer.
With both baskets filled to the brim, young Gu Nian was assigned to stay behind to watch over the goods.
Meanwhile, Sanhu took Little Hu and headed toward the grove by the riverbank.
In ancient times, the scenery wasn't just beautiful; most places were undeveloped, featuring not only undulating mountains but also vast expanses of dense forests.
Gu Nian found a rock to sit on, and as she looked at the two wild pheasant eggs in her hand, she held them and placed them under the hen nesting in her space.
She waited a while, but there was no sign of Sanhu and Little Hu returning.
Just as she intended to stand up and look around, she turned her head and saw a large wild boar leisurely approaching her.
Startled, Gu Nian froze, and the wild boar, noticing her presence, was also caught off guard on the spot.
Human and boar, staring at each other, one scared, the other dumbfounded.
