"Father, mother!" Teng Qingshan strode into his yard.

Teng Yongfan, the father in the main room, said with a smile: "Qingshan, I'm just waiting for you. In fact, three or four hours a day is enough for you to practice guns." At this moment, Teng Yongfan, Yuan Lan and daughter Teng Qingyu were already sitting around the wooden table. , Teng Qingshan also put the gun down against the wall, sat down and began to eat.

"I know." Teng Qingshan just took two bites, then raised his head and said, "Father, mother, I want to join the hunter team."

"Hunters?" Yuan Lan looked at her man Teng Yongfan with some hesitation.

Teng Yongfan frowned: "Qingshan, you are only nine years old, and you are going to join the hunter team?" The hunter team is a team composed of the bravest men in the clan, headed by Teng Yonglei, who often enters Dayan Mountain to slaughter prey, making Tengjiazhuang Every household has meat to eat anyway. And beast fur can also be sold for money.

"My strength should rank among the top ten in the villa." Teng Qingshan said with a smile.

Mentioning this, Teng Yongfan couldn't help but have a smile on his face.

At the time of the ninth-year-old festival, Teng Qingshan lifted a huge boulder of 600 jin, and obviously, that was not Teng Qingshan's limit. In terms of strength alone, Teng Qingshan can indeed be ranked in the top ten in Tengjiazhuang.

"Haha... You are talented, so you really should sharpen it!" Living in this cruel world, Teng Yongfan also saw it, and said with a smile, "From tomorrow, you will join the Hunter team! I will go tell your grandfather in the afternoon Say, wait until tomorrow morning, you go directly to the martial arts field and join the hunter team in the clan!"

"Thank you dad!" Teng Qingshan was overjoyed.

Yuan Lan next to him couldn't help but glared at Teng Yongfan, as if resenting Teng Yongfan for agreeing to his son.

"Brother, can you bring me a little hare?" Qing Yu stared at Teng Qingshan with her big eyes that were free of impurities.

"No problem." Teng Qingshan smiled.

"Brother is the best to me." Qing Yu giggled.

"Qingshan." Teng Yongfan said suddenly, "I see that you often carry a few throwing knives. You practice flying knives in the woods to the west?"

"Just practice casually." Teng Qingshan smiled, his father was a blacksmith, and it was very easy to go to the blacksmith's shop to get ten throwing knives. In the previous life, I spent a lot of effort on throwing knives, but now I just play with throwing knives a little while resting from gun practice to maintain the feel.

After all, flying knives can attack from a distance, and they can completely cooperate with their long spears.

"I also remind you that when you practice something, you must concentrate." Teng Yongfan said casually.

The next morning, the genius was dim.

Younger sister Qingyu was still sound asleep, while Teng Yongfan, Yuan Lan, and Teng Qingshan's family of three were already in their courtyard.

"Qingshan, although you are talented, your marksmanship is also good. But there are many fierce beasts and poisonous snakes on Dayan Mountain, so you must be careful. You must not be timid when fighting fierce beasts." Teng Yongfan still solemnly asked, he knew very well , Many people have good strength and marksmanship, but when encountering life and death fights, seeing blood may make their legs weak, how can they fight

If you are so frightened that your legs are weak, even if you have strength, you will not be able to use it!

"Qingshan." Mother Yuan Lan also enjoined, "Don't be brave, stay with other clansmen, come, put on this animal skin coat."

Wearing leather boots, and wearing an animal skin coat, this animal skin coat is stripped from some thick-skinned beasts and processed. Wearing this animal skin coat is equivalent to wearing a simple small armor, which has a protective effect.

"Don't worry, father, mother! I'm leaving first."

Holding a Qingnan spear, Teng Qingshan strode towards the outside of the courtyard.

On the training ground, because it is still very early, the genius is dim, and the morning training has not yet started, so there are not many people in the training ground. However, the members of the Hunter team have already started to gather one by one, and many of them are laughing and discussing, all of them are bold and chic.

"Haha... Our future No. 1 hero in Tengjiazhuang is here!" Teng Qingshan just entered the training ground when he heard a voice in the distance, and couldn't help but smiled and walked towards it.

"Qingshan!" Teng Yonglei strode forward, smiled loudly, and patted Teng Qingshan on the shoulder heavily, "Good boy, you joined the Hunter team at the age of nine. You are the first in the history of my Tengjiazhuang!"

"I only came in when I was thirteen. Qingshan is really powerful." A burly boy who was over seven feet tall and also wearing an animal skin robe said with a smile.

"Cousin." Teng Qingshan greeted with a smile, that person was Teng Qinghu.

There are other tribesmen who are training hard on the training ground, and those tribesmen look at the members of the hunter team with a trace of envy. Being able to become a member of the Hunter team must be a well-known hero in the clan, and each of them has a strength that cannot be underestimated.

The hunter team, including Teng Qingshan who just joined today, has thirty-two people.

"Okay, everyone is here, let's go!"

Thirty-two hunters from Tengjiazhuang left Tengjiazhuang one by one with long spears, longbows on their backs and robes of animal skins.

"Qingshan, after going up the mountain, you must not fall behind. Many people will lose their way when they go up the mountain for the first time. Moreover, they don't understand some dangers. When you come for the first time, you should watch more and listen more!" Teng Yonglei went all the way Pointing to Teng Qingshan carefully, Teng Qingshan listened.

In fact, in the previous life, the ability to survive in the wild was something a killer had to learn.

It's just that Teng Qingshan is not sure whether the forests in this world are the same as those in the previous life, so he dare not be careless.

*****

In the early morning, Dayan Mountain was very quiet, and a team of hunters was heading deep into the mountain.

"There are no ferocious beasts on the outskirts of this mountain, mostly hares and pheasants. The real ferocious beasts are in the deep mountains!" Teng Yonglei said all the way, and at this moment of speaking, a little hare in the thorn bushes seemed to be frightened by the crowd , 'whoosh' is about to run away.

Teng Qingshan's eyes lit up, and the spear in his hand stabbed at the hare like a poisonous snake.

"Peng!" The gun head pierced the side of the hare, and then the head of the gun shook and bounced on the hare, turning the hare over and over again. Teng Qingshan rushed forward and grabbed the hare with his hand.

"Good marksmanship." Seeing this, many clansmen around praised him.

It is difficult to catch the hare without hurting it.

"Why catch the work?" Teng Yonglei laughed.

"Uncle, my family, Qingyu, asked me to bring her a hare to play with." Teng Qingshan said, tied up the hare, and put it directly into the package behind his back.

The tribes around couldn't help laughing. They haven't reached the depths of the mountain yet, and all the tribesmen are obviously very relaxed. They also shot and killed two pheasants along the way. After nearly an hour, the hunter team finally entered the dangerous area , is also the area with the most prey.

"Come on!" Teng Yonglei whispered.

noon.

In the depths of Dayan Mountain, a group of hunters from Tengjiazhuang were roasting a maned wolf near the water source.

"Today's luck is really average, so far I only got two pheasants, a maned wolf, and a warthog." Teng Qinghu muttered in his mouth, Teng Qingshan glanced at the maned wolf that had been skinned and roasted: "Sure enough, Perhaps because of the aura of heaven and earth, the beasts in this mountain, even of the same species, are bigger than the beasts in the previous world."

In the previous life, a maned wolf weighed about fifty or sixty catties, but this maned wolf weighed over a hundred catties.

Thirty-two clansmen ate most of a maned wolf's roast meat.

"Take a break and continue to set off." Teng Yonglei touched his nose, "Hmph, at least kill two or three wild boars and bring them back. It will be about the same." There are more than 2,000 people in Tengjiazhuang, and the prey they got now is not enough. And a wild boar weighs several hundred catties, and two or three wild boars are enough.

Wild boars are large in size and have good meat quality, but it is also difficult to slaughter them.

After all, the wild boars in the mountains were no less aggressive than the tigers.

"Huh?" Teng Qingshan's ears moved, and he couldn't help turning his head to look not far away, only to see a white shadow flashing away.

"It's a ferret!" An exclamation came from among the clansmen.

"Hurry up!" Teng Yonglei jumped up.

The thirty-two clansmen even left the warthog they had hunted before, dispersed, and chased after the white shadow!

That's a ferret!

Ordinary mink fur is worth a thousand taels of silver in the city, but a good ferret fur is worth at least three thousand taels of silver. If you can kill this ferret, it is equivalent to killing a hundred wild boars. Encountering ferrets in the mountains is rare. Thirty-two clansmen rushed after each other.

"Hoo!" "Hoo!" "Hoo!"...

While running, the clansmen shot arrows one after another, but the ferret was extremely flexible and easily dodged, watching the ferret get farther and farther away.

"Grab it." Teng Yonglei shouted eagerly.

"I can't catch up." Teng Qinghu's face was also full of anxiety, that ferret was too flexible.

At this moment, the only one who can barely keep up with the ferret is Teng Qingshan! At this time Teng Qingshan was nimbly like a monkey, jumping around at high speed, with sharp eyes, staring at the thorny bush ahead. A ferret fleeing through the grass. No matter where the ferret goes, Teng Qingshan will follow him steadfastly.

"At this time!" Teng Qingshan's eyes lit up, and he flicked his right hand!

"Hoo!" A cold light flashed across the sky in an instant.

The spiritual ferret squeaked, and its speed increased again, but it was too late, and a throwing knife was directly inserted into its hind legs.

"Good job." Teng Yonglei and others who were chasing after him not far away cheered excitedly. You must know that the entire Tengjiazhuang pays annual money to the "White Horse Gang", which is only 1,000 taels of silver a year, and this ferret , at least three thousand taels of silver, that is thirty thousand taels of money, that is, three million copper coins, each copper coin can buy a meat bun.

This is a huge windfall!

"You still want to escape?" Teng Qingshan made a leap and grabbed it with his right hand.

"Chi—" The ferret turned around abruptly and bit it with one bite. Those sharp saw-like teeth could completely bite off a sword.

Teng Qingshan flipped his palm, easily dodged the bite, and slapped the ferret directly on the head.

Blood oozes from the corner of the ferret's mouth, and it collapses powerlessly.

Pulling out the throwing knife stuck in the ferret's leg, Teng Qingshan grabbed the ferret, straightened up, and couldn't help laughing.

"Haha... Qingshan, well done." The other clansmen had already come over, all staring at the beautiful ferret with excited smiles on their faces.
