In reality, Qin Xuelian’s doubt regarding Fang Zhengzhi represented the doubt of the Southern Mountain Village hunting squad. When Fang Zhengzhi, carrying his large basket, appeared at the assembly point in the village square, all the members of the hunting squad stared at him blankly.
”Zhengzhi, where’s your bow?
”I left it at home!”
”Then… your blade?”
”I didn’t bring it!”
The members of the hunting squad were speechless. Was he planning to hunt prey, or become the prey?
”Zhengzhi, ignore them. When we go up the mountain, you will stay behind the squad. Gain some experience first, don’t rush into action when you encounter wild prey, understand?” A middle-aged man with a slightly roundish face and plumpish body walked beside Fang Zhengzhi and placed his hands on his shoulders.
This was the Deputy Captain of the hunting squad, Ding Qingshan!
Ever since Li Zhuangshi entered the Hall of Dao, he took up the appointment as Deputy Captain. How about the Captain? That position had always been taken up by the village chief.
Even though he hadn’t entered the mountain for more than ten years.
”I understand, I won’t participate!” Fang Zhengzhi replied honestly.
The members of the hunting squad were stunned, then immediately laughed out. When they knew Fang Zhengzhi shattered a stone with one fist, they were all slightly curious about this seven year old boy.
Of course, more importantly they were considering what surprise this talented boy can bring to the hunting squad.
But now…
It was indeed a surprise.
”He is still a kid after all…” Ding Qingshan sighed softly.
Village Chief Meng Bai personally came to the village square to send the hunting squad off. As he looked at the large basket Fang Zhengzhi carried on his back, he similarly had no choice but to shake his head.
…
Taking advantage of the morning fog, a team of over ten people walked along the small trails that led behind the village and quickly journeyed towards the Cang Ling Mountain.
Fang Zhengzhi on the other hand followed behind the squad, carrying his large basket.
Tall mountain peaks, winding trails, the landscape filled with towering ancient trees and dense grass fields. To say that there were dangers lurking everywhere was definitely not an exaggeration.
This sparked a sense of novelty in Fang Zhengzhi. Living in the city all his past life, mountains and forests were a rare sight for him. Looking left and right, he hummed a little tune as he walked.
As the rest of the hunting squad looked at him, they just smiled.
No matter how they tried to see it, they felt that Fang Zhengzhi looked nothing like a hunter, but instead looked like he was here to make a sightseeing tour.
But, they didn’t say anything much. Ultimately he was still a kid, entering the mountain for the first time would no doubt spark some curiosity.
As they walked on, an hour passed and the sky was already illuminated brightly. The hunting squad had already almost reached the outskirts of Cang Ling Mountain. This, was where the Southern Mountain Village usually hunted.
”First inspect the respective traps, check if we had captured anything!” Ding Qingshan quickly gave out orders to the surrounding hunting squad members.
”Roger!” The hunting squad immediately sprang into action.
”Woosh!”
Right at this moment, the sound of an arrow slicing through the air resounded. Then, a long arrow nailed itself right in front of the hunting squad.
”Who’s that?” Ding Qingshan was the first to react, his gaze swept across the densely packed bushes. The rest of the squad each pulled out their long blades, and anxiously formed a circle.
