Return From the Immortal Realm - C137
They relied on the mountain to eat. The villagers did an ecological farm at the foot of the mountain. Other than letting the tourists relax, they also prepared some entertainment. Hunting in the mountain was one of them.
Relying on the gunpowder guns held by the villagers, they were unable to hunt large prey, even a deer was considered to be extremely lucky. However, in the eyes of the people of the city, this was still a strange occurrence. Yesterday, when Fan Wenjuan and Xuancao heard that there was such an event, they had been looking forward to it.
These women normally thought that the little animals were cute, but when it came to killing, they would transform into the evil queen. As expected, they couldn’t be guessed at using common sense.
The soil spear was in the hands of the villagers, while Xuancao and the others only had their crossbows and crossbows left. On the other hand, Lao Tang was not very interested. He had played with all kinds of guns before, and these fellows were not even worthy of his attention. As for God Wei, he didn’t need it either.
Each of them held a crossbow in their hands. Xuancao and Fan Wenjuan were obviously very excited, glancing at a few pitiful sparrows on the treetops from time to time. The villager who invited them was exasperated as he reminded the two ladies to calm down. They couldn’t eat this sparrow even if it was shot down; it was too small.
Mei Er and Xiaolan stayed at the back of the team. To them, the forest was their home. The Tang Family’s Little Lori didn’t seem to have any resistance towards beautiful things. Originally, he would only be pestering Xuancao all day, but now, she had discovered Mei Er and stuck by her side. Xuancao, who was aware of this, was very injured, and since she couldn’t get angry at Mei Er, she hated him.
Mei Er really wanted to talk to the Tang Family Little Lori, but she was still in the learning stage, so she could only say a few simple words.
Xuancao and Fan Wenjuan had unknowingly walked to the front, Fan Wenjuan turned and looked at Mei Er, and if there was a smile on her face, she said: “Sister Xuancao, you can rest assured, with such a beautiful lady, you are not afraid of Little Wei …”
Even though she was muttering in her heart, in front of outsiders, Xuancao still unconcernedly said: “Hehe, I don’t need to worry about Wei Fan.”
Fan Wenjuan laughed and did not say anymore.
The primal forest was indeed vast, with abundant flora and fauna. However, there weren’t many living creatures in the surrounding areas. After entering the mountain for more than an hour, a big grey rabbit ran past them. Before Xuancao and Fan Wenjuan could even react, they could not see the rabbit.
Seeing that there was no hope for their prey, Xuancao and Fan Wenjuan started to discuss whether or not they should return home.
It was the first time that the man with the earthen spear had encountered such a situation. Although Wei Fan and the others had already given him money, he didn’t lose anything now that he was going back. Out of professional ethics, he said in Mandarin, “Let’s go further ahead.
Wei Fan and the Lao Tang didn’t make any suggestions whatsoever, so Xuancao wasn’t willing to accept it. He listened to the mountain people’s advice and continued to walk forward.
Mei Er, who was at the back, had a rough understanding of what was going on. While no one was watching, she spread out her aura and gave the order for all the prey in the forest to gather. As a fox spirit, she was the absolute king of this forest.
While they were casually chatting, the Lao Tang got down to business with Wei Fan.
After considering for a few days, Lao Tang made a decision.
“I’m not going to work with them.” The Lao Tang had always treated them as his good friends in the past, but he never thought that at such a critical juncture, no one would be willing to help him. If there were any conflicts of interest in the future, who knows what they would do to him!
This was his problem, Wei Fan could do whatever he wanted. However, he remembered something. If the Lao Tang did not cooperate with those people, would he be able to open a mine himself?
Hearing Wei Fan’s question, the Lao Tang laughed: “Originally, I wanted to join hands with them to open up a large mine. With my own strength, I could open a small mine. Besides, if you’re lucky, you can open up a good mine with only explosives, and you can earn money by finding a mine. “Little Wei, I’m counting on you.”
It was all because of this guy.
As Wei Fan was speaking with the Lao Tang, his speed dropped. The two of them suddenly heard the sound of a gunshot from in front of them, and then heard Xuancao happily shouting: “It’s hit, it’s hit.”
When he walked closer, Wei Fan realized that the little fellow in the mountain had used a soil gun to hit a wild rabbit.
What was there to be surprised about? Lao Tang boasted to his wife and children: “When I was young, I fought with leopards before.”
However, Fan Wenjuan just rolled her eyes at him. The Tang Clan loli did not believe him and wrinkled her nose: “Daddy is lying again! You said before that you beat a lot of bastards to death!”
Lao Tang did not explain and smiled at Wei Fan. Wei Fan believed it but he did not testify on behalf of the Lao Tang. Furthermore, this kind of thing was not suitable for his to tell a child. Even the Lao Tang would not want his to experience such cruelty if he had a choice!
The youngster revealed his white teeth and was very satisfied with his marksmanship. Then, he looked at Xuancao and the others and said, “Like I said, as long as we go deeper in, there will be even more prey.”
“Then let’s go quickly!” Xuancao set off again with the crossbow.
After that, there were not many animals like the wild chicken and deer in front of him. It was a chance as Fan Wenjuan shot a wild chicken first. Xuancao, who knew his place, also began to reap some benefits. Of course, the biggest winner would still be the young lad from the mountain. With so many prey, he had already begun his selective-hunting.
The situation was unusual, but the herbivores were not a threat and did not attract anyone’s attention. Suddenly, the young man in the mountain cried out, “Wolf! There’s a wolf!”
Back then, the Lao Tang had interacted with wolves many times at the border. At that time, he would rather encounter a mad mother elephant than a pack of wolves.
Seeing the pack of wolves that were slowly approaching them, Lao Tang’s first reaction was to protect Fan Wenjuan and her daughter well.
The young men in the mountain had only heard from the adults that long, long ago, the wolves had come down the mountain and attacked the village. Now, these wolf pups rarely disturbed the villagers anymore.
He was a simple and honest young man. Although his legs were shaking, he still shouted out with all his might: “You guys hurry up and go, I have a gun.”
Mei Er wanted these beasts to gather here, so wouldn’t that mean that Xuancao and the others would have a lot of animals to kill? The little fox was very clever. Sensing that the situation was amiss, she hurriedly gave the order for the army of the forest to return.
The young man in the mountain tightly gripped the gun handle and waited for the wolf pack to approach him before he fired. However, he didn’t expect that the huge wolf pack would suddenly arrive and disappear like the tide.
Xuancao, who was standing by Wei Fan’s side, spoke out in an explosive tone, “Is the wolf meat delicious?”
“You have almost become like the Xiaolan, a big glutton.” Wei Fan scolded.
Xuancao didn’t mind. She smiled and said to Wei Fan: “I’m not afraid. I still have you. “Strange, what’s going on?”
Wei Fan knew what was going on, and turned to look at Mei Er. Seeing that Wei Fan’s gaze moved towards him, Mei Er fearfully lowered his head. She also knew that she had gotten into trouble. She wondered if this powerful human would chase her away.
