...
A month passed by in the blink of an eye. Fang Zhengzhi still woke up every morning to study, revising at night before going to bed. During the day, he no longer slept at the entrance of the Hall of Dao.
Early in the morning, the sky was just beginning to brighten.
"God damn it... who is it? Why is there one less Fire Plume Chicken?! "In the Li Family's courtyard, Mrs Li's voice was as domineering as ever.
Isn't it just a chicken?
Do you think I will return it to you if you squeal loudly? How naive!
By the river outside the village, Fang Zhengzhi leisurely sprinkled various spices on the Fire Plume Chicken. Then, he brought his nose close to the chicken and took a whiff. Tearing off a piece, he placed it in his mouth.
Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, just right!
Immediately, he plucked all the Fire Plume Chickens from the fire rack and began to gobble them down...
Fang Zhengzhi had no other choice. Even though his father would bring the hunting squad into the mountains every few days, but according to the rules of the village, when it was time to split the prey, there was still a pitiful amount.
His appetite skyrocketed and the amount of oil in his stomach was too little to satisfy his needs. With no other choice, he could only try to improve his' friendship 'with his neighbours.
After all, the Li Family didn't do anything, so they got the most prey.
Fang Zhengzhi didn't feel pressured. After swallowing the entire Fire Plume Chicken, he patted his round tummy and felt his body brimming with energy.
Then, he slowly walked to the grass beside the river and found a green rock the size of a fist. Then, he gently placed it on the ground.
Fang Zhengzhi closed his eyes and slowly regulated his breathing. Then, he opened his eyes abruptly and struck the rock with his palm.
"Kacha!"
A deep crack appeared on the fist-sized bluestone. Without much hesitation, Fang Zhengzhi's hand flashed again. He struck the same spot on the green rock.
"Kacha!" This time, the crack on the rock spread like a spider web.
Fang Zhengzhi's gaze flickered and he struck the rock a third time.
"Boom!" The bluestone finally exploded completely, turning into a pile of broken stones.
Fang Zhengzhi immediately rubbed his slightly red palm. However, his expression was one of excitement.
Three strikes! It was much better than the five palms from a week ago!
This kind of power, perhaps compared to Lolita and General Li, was worlds apart. However, to a scholar who didn't even have the strength to truss a chicken, Fang Zhengzhi was very satisfied.
No matter what, he was now a strong man who could split rocks with one hand, right? Although he had used three palms, if it was in his previous life, he wouldn't dare to say that he would become a boxing champion, but at least he would have a chance of becoming a black belt.
"Aha!"
Fang Zhengzhi mimicked the voice of his idol from his previous life and struck a pose. He then looked at his reflection in the river and felt that it was quite handsome …
"Fang Zhengzhi!"
Just as he was smiling brightly, a tender voice came from behind him.
Fang Zhengzhi turned around and saw that it was an eight-year-old child from the village.
"Not … not good, the hunting team … the hunting team … something happened to the hunting team … the village head asked me to find you!" the kid shouted while running.
"What?!"
When Fang Zhengzhi heard this, he had an extremely bad feeling. The village chief had sent someone to look for him, and it was about the hunting squad, could it be...
Not good!
Fang Zhengzhi didn't dare to continue thinking, and immediately ran towards the village, his speed as fast as the wind.
The eight-year-old child was instantly stunned. Looking at Fang Zhengzhi's crazily sprinting little legs, he really couldn't understand how he could run so fast. But, being shocked was just being shocked. He immediately started running behind Fang Zhengzhi, but realised that in just a short while, he couldn't even see Fang Zhengzhi's little butt …
…
Once he entered the Southern Mountain Village, Fang Zhengzhi heard waves of sobbing coming from all around him.
His heart instantly tightened, his little palms filled with sweat. He couldn't care less about pretending to be innocent, and immediately ran towards the source of the sound.
Very quickly, he reached the village square.
At this moment, the square was filled with villagers, all of them squeezed together. Among the crowd, the sound of women crying could be heard, and his mother Qin Xuelian was among them.
"Wu wu wu … Houde, you … you can't be hurt …" At this moment, Qin Xuelian had completely lost her usual otherworldly aura, her face filled with tears.
When Fang Zhengzhi heard this, he felt a chill down his spine.
He simply didn't have time to think too much, and immediately squeezed into the crowd.
Very quickly, Fang Zhengzhi saw his own dad. At this moment, Fang Houde was lying flat on a thick piece of animal skin, his face pale. The ground was filled with bloodstains, other than Fang Houde, there were seven or eight other villagers who were also in the same state.
"Zhengzhi is here!"
"Don't worry, your dad is fine, he's only slightly injured …"
When the villagers saw Fang Zhengzhi, they all started to console him. To a child, they were all afraid of being agitated.
"Injured?!"
Fang Zhengzhi looked at his own dad, Fang Houde, and realised that there was a bloody wound on Fang Houde's thigh. Other than that, there were also some bloodstains on his chest and waist.
It looked as if he had been cut open by a knife, but upon closer inspection, it didn't seem like it. Because, every bloodstain had five cuts.
Looking at the other villagers, the wounds on their bodies were basically the same. Every injured villager had more or less claw marks on their bodies, dripping with blood …
"Who would have thought that the Blue Fire Wolf would come down the mountain again!"
"Yes, that is a lone wolf. After leaving its wolf pack, it has injured many people at the foot of the mountain these few years. The Northern Mountain Village had also met it once, and I heard that two people were injured."
"But this time, our Southern Mountain Village has injured seven or eight people!"
The villagers discussed fervently, every one of their faces filled with rage. But, they had no choice. The Blue Fire Wolf was too strong, and simply wasn't something that ordinary villagers like them could handle.
Once they met it in the mountains, they could only escape!
"Blue Fire Wolf?!" Fang Zhengzhi instantly clenched his fist.
He remembered that his own mother had once said that his dad's right hand was bitten off by a Blue Fire Wolf. At that time, the Blue Fire Wolf had rushed into the village, and his dad had stood at the front. Eventually, the entire village had to work together to chase the Blue Fire Wolf out.
Could it be the same one?
"That Blue Fire Wolf hadn't appeared these few years, I had thought that it was dead. Who would have thought that it would appear again at this time, sigh …" A villager sighed slowly.
It really was the same one!
"How many herbs do we have left, bring all the hemostatic medicine that we have left!" At this moment, Village Chief Meng Bai was leading a few villagers to apply hemostatic medicine on the bodies of the injured, their foreheads drenched in sweat.
"This time, the hunting squad has injured so many people, how are we going to survive in the future?" A familiar voice sounded out from within the crowd. It was Auntie Li.
"Why are we talking about this now? Saving people is more important! "Instantly, a villager spoke up.
"The hundreds of families in the village all depend on the hunting squad to survive. Without the hunting squad, the entire village would starve to death, why can't we talk about it?" Auntie Li was somewhat unconvinced.
"Sigh, that's true …"
"If the hunting squad can't hunt, it is indeed impossible to survive."
At this moment, a few women in their thirties also let out a series of sighs.
