Under Zhang Yangping's lead, the Northern Mountain Village hunting squad chuckled as they brought their prey back to their own territory.
"Leader is really wise, we really struck it rich this time. The Southern Mountain Village hasn't entered the mountain for many days, there are many good prey in the traps …" A hunting squad member followed behind Zhang Yangping and laughed.
"Of course, if it was in the past, the Southern Mountain Village and the Northern Mountain Village would each have their own territory. But this year, the Southern Mountain Village's luck isn't too good, they met the Blue Fire Wolf. I heard that it injured seven to eight people, I'm afraid it won't be a threat for the time being!" Zhang Yangping was also very happy.
"Leader is really smart, we wouldn't have thought of this!"
"Eh? Leader, there's … a kid behind us! "
Very soon, Zhang Yangping and the others noticed a child about six or seven years old following behind them. He wore a small animal skin coat and carried a large basket on his back.
Fang Zhengzhi didn't intend to hide his intentions, he openly swaggered behind the Northern Mountain Village hunting squad.
Why?
The reason was simple, he was afraid to walk alone in the mountains!
"Such a small kid? What is he doing! "
"Look, he's carrying a large basket on his back, don't tell me he came from another village to dig herbs?"
"Then let's ignore him, let's go!"
Zhang Yangping and the rest continued to walk back, all the way to the Northern Mountain Village territory.
Fang Zhengzhi continued to follow behind them.
"Leader, this is the territory of the Northern Mountain Village?!"
"What nonsense, how big is this Cang Ling Mountain? How could there be a lack of people coming to the mountains to dig for herbs? A medicine boy who comes to the mountain to dig herbs, why do you care! "Zhang Yangping snorted lightly.
The other Northern Mountain Village hunting squad thought about it and agreed. There were a few villages around Cang Ling Mountain, it was common for people to go up the mountain to pick herbs.
However, most people would choose to go deep into the Cang Ling Mountain. Rarely did they choose to dig in the outskirts.
But when they saw Fang Zhengzhi's age, the hunting squad members understood. It seemed like this kid didn't dare to go too deep …
Fang Zhengzhi waited for the Northern Mountain Village people to stop, then guessed that this should be the Northern Mountain Village hunting territory.
Since he had arrived, he slowly took out the hoes, shovels, and other tools from the big basket.
Then, he began to dig on the ground …
The Northern Mountain Village villagers who were hunting for prey took a few more glances at Fang Zhengzhi. When they realized that he did not have a bow or knife on him, they relaxed and ignored him.
Fang Zhengzhi dug energetically. As he dug, he took out a ruler to measure the ground. From time to time, he would take out a piece of paper from his pocket and look at it. Sometimes, he would move rocks from the surroundings. Then, he would move the big rocks around the mountain.
The reason he followed the Northern Mountain Village hunting squad was not to jump out and shout, "Return my prey!"
Mountain Village hunting squad wasn't to Fang Zhengzhi.
Not to mention that there were more than 20 strong men on the other side, just the bow and arrows and the long saber in their hands were not something that he could deal with with with a small dagger.
Fang Fang Zhengzhi said, Fang Yangzhi. Fang Zhengzhi Mountain, Village.
Fang Zhengzhi naturally wasn't really here to dig for herbs. These few days, he had thought for a long time, and finally decided to set up a big picture. A big picture that would allow the Southern Mountain Village hunting squad to never be bullied, a big picture that would allow him to never lose.
Fang Zhengzhi wasn't here to dig for herbs. He thought for a long time and decided to set up a trap. A trap that would ensure the Southern Mountain Village hunting squad would never be bullied.
Time flew by. Fang Zhengzhi stopped at noon. He took out the lunch Qin Xuelian prepared for him and ate a picnic. Then, he rested for a while and memorized "Great University".
When the sky darkened, Fang Zhengzhi left. Fang Zhengzhi stopped at noon. He took out the lunch Qin Xuelian prepared for him and ate a picnic. Then, he rested for a while and memorized "Great University".
When the sky started to darken, Fang Zhengzhi left … ….
…
Fang Zhengzhi's first time on the mountain wasn't a pleasant surprise.
The Southern Mountain Village villagers smiled when they heard that he didn't get anything. After all, he was a kid and it was his first time on the mountain. It was normal for him to not get anything.
The moment Qin Xuelian saw Fang Zhengzhi, she pulled him into her embrace.
"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back …"
Auntie Li's words were a little harsh. "I thought you had some ability. You've been on the mountain for a day, why haven't you caught a green furred rabbit?"
The villagers waiting at the village square were a little unhappy when they heard this. After all, in their hearts, Fang Zhengzhi volunteering to join the hunting squad was already very impressive.
"Zhengzhi is only seven years old, yet he already has this awareness. It's already good enough that he's willing to join the hunting squad!"
"That's right, your Huer doesn't dare to go in right?"
"Such a young kid, and it's his first time on the mountain. Do you really think he's an adult?"
The villagers started discussing. When Auntie Li heard this, her face was filled with displeasure. She placed her hands on her hips, "Our Hu'er may not be part of the hunting team now, but our Hu'er is still studying. In the future, when he passes the Law of Dao examinations, he will become a high-ranking official! When that time comes, the Southern Mountain Village will be exempted from taxes. That's no better than hunting a few animals on the mountain! "
Upon hearing about the Law of Dao examinations, the villagers instantly fell silent. The Li Family's elder and younger siblings were both in the Hall of Dao, and those who could enter the Hall of Dao were the future hopes of the Southern Mountain Village. No one was willing to offend them.
"Alright, stop quarreling. Everyone should do their own thing!" Village Chief Meng Bai stood out at this moment to smooth things over.
"Village Chief's words make sense. Everyone has their own lives! Furthermore, didn't Zhengzhi not catch any animals this time? Can't we talk about it? "Auntie Li muttered softly. She glanced at Fang Zhengzhi, her face filled with disdain.
"Qingshan, why are there so few animals today?" Village Chief Meng Bai changed the topic.
"It's the doing of the Northern Mountain Village people …" Ding Qingshan walked to Village Chief Meng Bai's side and whispered a few words. He didn't know if this matter was suitable to be mentioned in front of the whole village.
Village Chief Meng Bai's brows quickly furrowed.
"Next time … enter the mountain earlier!" After Village Chief Meng Bai finished, he sighed heavily. He placed the tobacco pipe in his mouth and took a few deep puffs.
"I understand." Ding Qingshan understood Village Chief Meng Bai's meaning. The distance between the two villages was too close. It was common for people from the Southern Mountain Village to marry into the Northern Mountain Village, and for people from the Northern Mountain Village to marry into the Southern Mountain Village.
The intersection was deep, but the friction was also deep!
Fighting over mountains and water was common. If this matter could be resolved peacefully, they naturally didn't wish for too much conflict to occur.
There wasn't much prey, and it was quickly distributed.
Because Fang Zhengzhi had entered the hunting squad, he was taken care of. Even though he didn't catch anything the first time, Village Chief still gave him a small piece of meat as "encouragement".
The other villagers didn't have much of an opinion. After all, the Fang family still had one person lying on the ground …
When Auntie Li saw this scene, she felt somewhat unhappy. "We didn't catch any animals, but we still benefited from the hunting squad, this is a good deal …"
Fang Zhengzhi didn't say anything. However, when he was returning home, he accidentally dropped a pitch-black "animal trap" at the main entrance of the Li family.
The effect …
It was still very obvious.
"Aiyo! Which wretched person placed a trap at my door!! "In the dark night, Auntie Li's shrill and tragic cries rang out.
