"I! Want! To! Enter! The Hunting! Team!"
Fang Zhengzheng's voice echoed in the spacious square of Nanshan Village. Although the voice was not too loud, it shocked the hearts of all Nanshan Village villagers.
"Hunting team?!"
"He said...he said he wanted to join the hunting team?"
"Oh my God, he's seven!"
After hearing Fang Zhengzheng's words, the villagers looked at me one by one with disbelief on their faces.
Village chief Meng Bai was the first to come to his senses, glanced at Fang Houde, who was still in a daze, and muttered softly: "Houde... you have a good son!"
But after Qin Xuelian heard the words discussed around her, her whole body trembled. Her beautiful eyes glanced at Fang Zhengzheng, then at Fang Houde who was lying in front of her, and tears finally burst out again...
…
Soon, the news that Fang Zhengzheng was going to join the hunting team spread like a strong wind throughout Nanshan Village. Some of the housebound old people in the village had expressions of disbelief when they heard the news.
However, the fact that Fang Zhengzheng cracked the bluestone with one punch was witnessed by dozens of people.
"It's incredible. How did this kid Zhengzheng do it? Could it be that he...has entered Taoism?"
"How is this possible! I guess the stone was already cracked, and when Zheng Zheng saw his father being injured, his potential exploded in anger!"
"Anyway, even if there is a crack in the stone, it is not something a seven-year-old child can do if he punches it open!"
"Yes! What a brute strength. This is much stronger than when I was a child!"
The voices of discussion spread in Nanshan Village, and the villagers began to praise the old Fang family for having a strong and powerful Fang Zhengzheng.
But where strong winds blow, there will always be some debris flying.
For example, the sister-in-law of the Li family was extremely unhappy: "Isn't it just that you have brute strength? You can't even enter the Taoist hall, and you will definitely fail the Taoist exam in the future. So what if you have the strength? You are not destined to hunt all your life!"
Li Zhuangshi, on the other hand, has been a little worried these days. He always looks at Li Huer and sighs sadly, not knowing what he is thinking in his heart...
Village chief Meng Bai was sitting on the carriage entering the county seat, looking at the rolling mountain peaks outside the carriage. He put the cigarette rod in his hand into his mouth with some boredom, took a strong puff, and exhaled a mouthful of thick smoke.
"Old Fang's family... I can't help you, old man! It's all my fault that I'm too blind to see the potential of this kid Zheng Zheng. But it's too late to say anything now. The quota for the Taoist Hall has been applied for. I think It’s really difficult to change…”
…
In the Fang family's earthen house, Qin Xuelian carefully washed away the blood on Fang Houde's body, and then gently sat down next to Fang Zhengyi.
"Zheng'er... you... really have to join the hunting team?" Qin Xuelian looked at Fang Zhengyi with a somewhat complicated look. After the scene in the square, even she didn't know how to talk to her son. .
Do you treat Fang Zhengzheng as an adult? But he was only seven years old.
What if you treat him as a child? There seems to be something wrong, because Fang Zhengzheng is already going to go hunting in the mountains, which is the place that supports the lifeblood of the entire Nanshan Village...
"Yes, mother!" Fang Zhengzheng nodded. He understood what Qin Xuelian was thinking, but there were some things he had to do. Now that Fang Houde fell, he had to stand up. It was the most difficult thing in this family. Time to hold it up!
"But, you are only seven years old now..." Qin Xuelian hesitated to speak.
"Mom, don't worry, I will be more careful! Besides, didn't the village chief say that? I am now in the hunting team, and all the prey I hunt is mine. Dad is injured now. How can I not eat some meat?" Fang Zhengzheng comforted his mother.
Rationally speaking, he knew that he was a little impulsive in doing so. Cangling Mountain was full of dangers. Although he had made some breakthroughs now, it would be extremely difficult to fend off any big beast once he encountered it.
The most important thing is that he doesn't have any fighting skills with wild beasts. He never even fought with a dog in his previous life? Now you suddenly want to fight wild beasts
It's really embarrassing.
However, after making such a decision, he did not regret it.
Fortunately, the villagers in Nanshan Village were still relatively simple, and Fang Houde was injured first, so even though he did something amazing, no one questioned why his strength suddenly increased.
Then the next thing to consider is how to go up the mountain, and how to stay on the mountain for a long time, so as to be able to hunt prey and stay safe...
Fang Zhengzheng knew a little about the hunting methods of the Nanshan Village hunting team.
A very rigid method, placing some small traps at some road intersections, and then the entire hunting team huddled together and wandered around the Canngling Mountain. When they encountered prey, they swarmed with bows and arrows.
It can be said to be primitive to the extreme!
This is not the method that Fang Zhengzheng wants to adopt, because if you do this, once you encounter a powerful beast, the entire team will be in danger. With good luck, you can survive a month or two, but can you survive for a lifetime
Some old people in the village have some old injuries on their bodies, and some are even missing arms and legs. This is the sequelae!
I must change this way of hunting!
When Fang Zhengzheng thought of this, he fell into deep thought again. What should he do to hunt prey again and ensure safety? And there is another lurking danger, that is the green fire wolf that has been wandering around the outside of Cangling Mountain!
Qin Xuelian looked at Fang Zhengzheng's slightly frowning brows and moved her lips.
"That's right, my mother actually picked up a gold ingot a few days ago..."
"Mom, just keep that ingot of gold for dad to recover from his injuries!" Fang Zhengzheng knew what Qin Xuelian wanted to say. Since he had already stood up, he had no intention of hiding anything anymore.
"You... you know..." The surprise in Qin Xuelian's eyes could not be concealed at this moment. Then, she recalled the child wrapped like a "zongzi" on the high platform that day, and suddenly she understood.
When she looked at Fang Zhengzheng, her eyes were extremely complicated.
"Zheng'er has grown up..."
"Mom, please feel free to leave this family to me!"
After Fang Zhengzheng finished speaking, he didn't say anything more, because he knew very well that he would have to take this step sooner or later, it was just a matter of time.
Canngling Mountain? Green Fire Wolf! I heard that the green fire wolf's wolf skin...is worth a lot of money? Then, let me see your true face!
…
Half a month later, early in the morning...
Qin Xuelian, who was dressed in civilian clothes, carefully arranged the animal skin coat for Fang Zhengzheng.
There are many venomous snakes, insects and ants in Canling Mountain. If you want to go hunting in the mountains, you can't wear too thin clothes. At this moment, Fang Zhengzheng is wearing a pair of high-top animal skin boots and a pair of small leather gloves on his hands. Wearing a small animal skin jacket that reaches to the thighs, and even wearing an animal skin hat on his head.
From a distance, it looks like a small mountain beast.
Although…
There are many patches on it!
After a period of rest and the medicine brought back by the village chief from the county, some of the slightly injured villagers in the hunting team have basically recovered, and Fang Houde can slowly get out of bed and walk a few steps. .
"After entering the mountain, if you see a big beast, just... hide behind it!" Fang Houde's voice came from the inner room.
Fang Zhengzheng was slightly startled. With his father's simple character, it would take a lot of courage to say such a thing.
"Don't worry, daddy, I will always hide behind!" Fang Zhengzheng picked up the large beetle that had been arranged on the ground, hid a small dagger in his animal skin boots, and went out directly.
"Zheng'er, you didn't bring a bow..." Qin Xuelian's voice rang out as soon as she went out.
"I can't!" Fang Zhengzheng curled his lips.
"Zheng'er... knife... you didn't bring the knife..."
"I do not know either… "
"This... how can you hunt if you don't bring anything?"
"I have this!" Fang Zheng pointed at the big beetle behind him, took out the dagger hidden in the animal skin boots, and waved it in front of Qin Xuelian...
