Gu Jianghai stood there in a daze, his eyes wide open.
Not an illusion
"Jiang Hai, the people from Chenjiazhai seem to be asking us to turn back?" the man next to him asked cautiously.
"I heard it too. It seems like they are going to return the prey to us?"
"Really? Is there such a good thing?" Several people had disbelief written on their faces.
Gu Ze didn't say anything and swallowed hard.
If that's the case, that would be great.
At this moment, the shouting from behind sounded again, urging them.
This time, several people heard it clearly. After looking at each other, they turned around nervously and looked forward.
I saw the people from Chenjiazhai standing in the position of Gujiazhai and others, searching for spoils, while Chen Guodong was waving at them with a smile.
"Jiang Hai, how about we go over and take a look? What if it's true?" someone suggested.
"Yes, we have no grudge against them. If they really wanted to harm us, they would have done it long ago."
"Give it a try. It won't hurt you anyway."
"Well, let's go and have a look."
Gu Jianghai was tempted, gritted his teeth and agreed.
Several people approached cautiously. When they were still 20 to 30 meters away, Gu Jianghai said with a smile: "Brother Chen, were you calling us just now?"
As he spoke, his eyes intentionally or unintentionally looked at Chen Fan, who had a calm expression not far away.
He remembered very clearly that it was this young man who had killed the entire hunting team of Lijiazhai by himself. His strength was terrifying.
Chen Guodong smiled and nodded, pointing at the large wildebeest on the ground, "If I remember correctly, this should be your prey, right?"
"Yes, it's ours."
A man said impatiently.
Gu Jianghai nodded, his heart in his throat.
"Then you can take it."
Chen Guodong said without hesitation.
"!"
The people in Gujiazhai felt like they were hit by a pie in the sky.
This, isn't this a little too easy
"Brother Chen, are you serious? Are you kidding?"
Gu Jianghai was still a little worried. Even if Chen Guodong asked him to take half of it, he could accept it. After all, if it weren't for them, the prey would never have been taken back.
"Why?"
Liu Yong at the side couldn't help but laugh and said, "Old Gu, you are quite interesting. Are we really lying to you?"
"That's right, if you don't want it, we'll take it away."
"I want it, I want it," Gu Jianghai seemed like his tail was stepped on.
"Then why are you so fussy?"
"alright,"
Chen Guodong smiled and looked at Gu Jianghai. "Old Gu, I understand what you are worried about. Don't worry, there are no additional conditions. Whoever owns the prey should be allowed to take it away."
Hearing this, several people were so excited that tears filled their eyes.
From his tone, it can be heard that Chen Guodong is sincere in wanting to return the prey to them.
"Brother Chen, thank you, thank you!"
"Thank you. If it weren't for your help, we would have gone back with so few things and wouldn't know how to face the people in the village."
"Yes, this is great, everyone has food to eat." Several men said while wiping their tears.
Chen Fan watched this scene quietly. It was a little funny, but more of a sadness. In the adult world, there is no such thing as easy.
"Old Gu, don't say that."
Chen Guodong waved his hands and sighed, "Come to think of it, I should be the one thanking you."
"ah?"
The men who had been wiping their tears with their heads down looked up in astonishment.
Chen Guodong explained:
“When we met you before, we didn’t help you. It wasn’t because we were afraid of getting into trouble, but because we were worried about accidentally hurting you. That’s why we pretended to escape and lured Li Xiong and his men to chase us.
Doing this will definitely make you feel disappointed, so we didn't expect you to follow us, but you still followed us. You should be thinking of giving us a hand when the time comes, right?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Yong and others couldn't help but nod slightly.
Even Chen Fan was a little surprised at the time.
They really didn't expect that the people from Gujiazhai would have the courage to chase after them.
From this point of view, these people are still worth making close friends with.
Among the people in Gujiazhai, except Gu Jianghai, the others were all filled with ashamed.
So everything is like this. No wonder they have such strength but still choose to escape. It turns out that they are afraid that the arrows will have no sight and cause accidental injuries.
And what about them
However, they held a grudge and hoped that the people of Chenjiazhai would follow in their footsteps. If Jiang Hai had not gone against the crowd and taken the lead, they would not have chased after them at all.
If this is true, it is conceivable that they will never be able to get the prey back.
Not only that, every hunt in the future will be a matter of trepidation.
They will not understand the good intentions of Chen Guodong and others.
"Brother Chen, I am ashamed."
Gu Jianghai's eyes also moistened. "Come to think of it, we didn't help at all. Why do you have to thank us?"
"Yes, we really deserve to die! At first I misunderstood you and thought you were heartless. Now that I think about it, oh!"
"It's okay, it's all over."
Chen Guodong shook his head and looked at the people opposite him. "We are all trying to make a living in the wilderness. It's not easy for everyone. It's only natural for us to help each other when we meet."
“Yes, yes, yes.”
“We should help each other.”
Gu Jianghai and others nodded repeatedly.
"Okay, let's stop here for today. The way back is still long, so be careful."
As Chen Guodong spoke, he glanced around. Most of the things on Li Jiazhai and others had been looted, so they might not have retreated.
As for the corpses, they would be gone in less than a night.
"Xiao Fan, what are you thinking about? It's time to go."
Liu Yong said with a smile.
"Um."
Chen Fan nodded and his eyes fell on the people from Gujiazhai.
He was thinking, maybe now is a good opportunity to recruit the other party? Although there is a possibility of being rejected, the probability should not be high.
Just then, Gu Jianghai's voice rang out.
"Um, Brother Chen."
"Um?"
Chen Guodong, who had just turned around, turned back and asked with a smile, "Brother Gu, is there anything else?"
Several people from Gujiazhai looked at him subconsciously.
Could it be that Jiang Hai wants to say a few more words of thanks
However, the other party's next words shocked them on the spot.
"Um, Brother Chen, can we join your Chen Family Village?"
At this moment, there was complete silence all around, as if time had stood still.
The people in Chenjiazhai never thought that the other party would say this.
Chen Fan was delighted. Unexpectedly, things developed even more smoothly than he had imagined.
With the joining of these people from Gujiazhai, it will be much safer to go to Songjiabao to exchange supplies, not to mention the far distance.
After a while, Chen Guodong asked tentatively: "Brother Gu, you just said that your Gujiazhai wants to join our village?"
"No, that's right."
Gu Jianghai was a little nervous, but also a little expectant. "Our village is too small. Winter is coming soon, and life will be even harder. You don't seem to have many people. Of course, you are very strong, much stronger than us, but if we unite, we should be able to live better."
