"Zhengzhi, is… is that you?" Ding Qingshan was the first to react. He was currently squeezed in a hole with a few other members of the Southern Mountain Village hunting squad, his face laden with mud. He felt very uncomfortable.
"Huh? Uncle Qingshan, what are you doing here?" When Fang Zhengzhi heard Ding Qingshan's voice, he quickly ran over and popped his tiny head into the hole.
"It's really Zhengzhi?!" After looking at Fang Zhengzhi, his face instantly reddened. That's right, what is he even doing here? Isn't it because he just had ill luck, the Northern Mountain Village was the one being robbed, yet he also involved himself in it.
Wait...
Something seemed wrong. Just now… the Northern Mountain Village person seemed to have said, they were robbed by a seven year old boy?!
Could it be...
That's impossible?! If it really was Fang Zhengzhi who robbed the entire Northern Mountain Village hunting squad, wasn't that a little too inconceivable?
"Not possible, not possible…’ Ding Qingshan furiously shook his head.
He remembered that the seven or eight times Fang Zhengzhi came to the mountain, he didn't even manage to catch a single prey. Rob the Northern Mountain Village? Even if the sun rose from the West, something like this happening was still not possible!
"Kid, you… you dare to rob our Northern Mountain Village, let us out quickly, else…" A Northern Mountain Village hunting squad member instantly shouted when he saw Fang Zhengzhi's tiny head.
Ding Qingshan's face finally changed at this moment. That feeling of shock and horror was unprecedented. Looking at the Fang Zhengzhi's tiny head popping into the hole, then looking at his young and small face, he suddenly felt like burying himself in the ground.
As the deputy captain of the hunting squad, even though he wouldn't make fun of Fang Zhengzhi outrightly...
But, this didn't imply that he looked up to Fang Zhengzhi at all, after the many times he returned empty-handed, he had already considered Fang Zhengzhi as a playful and lazy kid.
But now...
This lazy kid managed to do something they would never be able to do, he robbed the entire Northern Mountain Village hunting squad?!
He didn't dare to believe, but, this was reality.
Just one person, robbing the entire Northern Mountain Village hunting squad. How unbelievable was this, how unthinkable was this, how...
Wait, something else seemed to be not quite right.
Us, the Southern Mountain Village hunting squad, seemed to have also fallen into this trap!
Ding Qingshan's face reddened once again. Because, there weren't many words he could find to describe his current feelings. What if the other party wasn't from the Southern Mountain Village? Then his hunting squad, would it have been robbed by a seven year old kid as well?
"Zhengzhi robbed the Northern Mountain Village?!"
"Could it be wrong? Is it really Zhengzhi who robbed the entire Northern Mountain Village hunting squad?"
"My God, he's only seven!"
After Fang Zhengzhi's voice called out, Ding Qingshan was stunned beyond words. The rest of the Southern Mountain Village hunting squad were of no exception, nobody dared to believe this fact.
But, the feeling of being stuck in the trap wasn't exactly very comfortable. As such, a few of the Southern Mountain Village hunting squad members quickly began to shout out.
Even though they indeed lost some face, but fortunately, under these circumstances, the Southern Mountain Village was ultimately in safe hands.
"This kid is from the Southern Mountain Village?!" Zhang Yangping, squatting in a trap, heard the discussion outside. The long blade in his hands fell directly to the ground.
If Fang Zhengzhi was alone by himself, he still wished to take advantage of the opportunity when the other party lowered his guard, then immediately retaliate. But if the entire Southern Mountain Village was added in, then this was obviously a huge, well-planned out "conspiracy". Retaliation would then be impossible.
It's over, this time it's really over…
We have been robbed!
"All of you better quickly surrender your weapons, then prepare yourselves to be captured!" Fang Zhengzhi shouted out as he paced forward and backward outside the traps with his stumpy legs.
"Dream on!" The Northern Mountain Village people were reluctant.
"Ah, dare to disobey? Whichever hole from which a person dares to disobey… I'll go to that hole and take a piss!"
The Northern Mountain Village hunting squad finally yielded, and surrendered one by one. Even though some were reluctant, but when they thought of their heads really being peed on, how were they going to live with this next time?
Ding Qingshan’s feelings were complicated. He didn't know where he should be happy or gloomy.
But, this dilemma didn't last for long.
"Ha ha ha… this time our yield is huge!" Looking at the prey the Northern Mountain Village hunting squad detached from themselves and held in their hand, Ding Qingshan couldn't stop smiling.
"Uncle Qingshan, there is a huge tied-up pig over there!" Fang Zhengzhi didn't actually know the Metal-Toothed Thorn Hog’s real name, but, he could guess that this was the best catch for the Northern Mountain Village this time.
Because, that pig was huge, its meat was plentiful!
"You all… shameless!" When Zhang Yangping heard Fang Zhengzhi's words, his face instantly changed. The value of that one Metal-Toothed Thorn Hog was even greater than the combined worth of all the prey on their bodies.
Most importantly, in order to hunt that Metal-Toothed Thorn Hog down, the Northern Mountain Village people had suffered multiple injuries.
Yet now…
It had been snatched away by the Southern Mountain Village just like that, how could he accept it?
"Huge pig? Don't tell me it's the Metal-Toothed Thorn Hog!" The eyes of a member of the Southern Mountain Village hunting squad lit up. That was the real treasure. Even if one roamed the mountains for a year, it would still be difficult to encounter this.
"You few watch over them, we'll go over and take a look… Zhengzhi, lead the way!" Hearing this, Ding Qingshan's excitement rose.
"Okay." Fang Zhengzhi nodded.
…
Very quickly, led by Fang Zhengzhi, Ding Qingshan and the team rapidly arrived in front of the Metal-Toothed Thorn Hog.
"Oh great God, it's really the Metal-Toothed Thorn Hog, it's even a matured Metal-Toothed Thorn Hog. Those two metal tusks are indeed sharp, who would have thought that the Northern Mountain Village hunting squad would be able to take this beast down!’ A hunter exclaimed.
"What a huge yield, this time our yield is really huge indeed!" Looking at the tied-up Metal-Toothed Thorn Hog in front of them, the Southern Mountain Village hunting squad beamed delightedly.
A matured Metal-Toothed Thorn Hog was definitely a surprise gift from Heaven.
Everybody instantly sprang into action.
"Zhengzhi, you can watch from the side, we won't trouble you. Let us carry this!" A member of the hunting squad patted Fang Zhengzhi's shoulders. The look in his eyes was as if he had just seen treasure.
"Ha ha…" Fang Zhengzhi laughed. He never planned to help out. This kind of physical work naturally belonged to the adults. He was only seven, there were some things he had to be "considerate".
...
As usual, Village Chief Meng Bai was holding his cigar, anxiousness showing slightly in his eyes. In this period of time, the yield of the Southern Mountain Village hunting squad had become lower and lower.
Now, the entire hundred over households in the village didn't even have enough to eat.
He was also considering having a meeting with the Northern Mountain Village. They couldn't go on like this.
"If this can't work, we can only bribe them with some money!" Village Chief Meng Bai gritted his teeth, and made a difficult decision.
"Come quick! The hunting squad came back with game today, what a huge yield! There are dozens of game, and even a Metal-Toothed Thorn Hog!"
Village Chief Meng Bai, still gritting his teeth, was stunned, then, the worried expression on his face immediately turned into one of pure ecstasy. Dozens of game? And even a Metal-Toothed Thorn Hog?!
Oh God, this was the biggest yield in years!
"Quick, hurry up, send all the strong people in the village to receive the hunting squad!" Village Chief immediately began to call out. He recognised that this news came from the hunting squad advance party.
"Roger… Roger!" A villager heard, and was just as delighted.
The hunting squad had a huge yield. This extremely good piece of news was enough to delight the entire village.
