Republic of China: Guandong Ginseng King

Chapter 57 Exit
Wang Jiaxiang and his team were very successful in this hunting trip. They hunted seven wild boars in total under siege from three sides.

There were three sows among them, one running basket, one heavy year, and two yellow-haired ones.

It was supposed to be a happy occasion, but the companions were missing. Everyone looked around the area but couldn't find any trace of Qu Shaoyang.

Since we can’t find the person, the pigs here can’t be wasted.

In desperation, everyone decided to send all the prey back first, and then they would take some dry food, ropes and other things with them and come back to look for people.

In this way, everyone took a lot of effort to get all the pigs back, and returned early yesterday morning to look for Qu Shaoyang's traces everywhere in the mountains.

At noon, Wang Jiaxiang and his friends suddenly saw smoke coming out of the valley below.

Although the smoke rising from the valley bottom was not as thick as before, Wang Jiaxiang still recognized that it was someone making a fire, not the naturally generated miasma or fog in the mountains.

Everyone agreed that it should be a distress signal sent by Qu Shaoyang, so they tried to find a way to get down to the bottom of the valley.

But after wandering around for a long time, I couldn't find a way to get down to the bottom of the valley. The surrounding stone walls were too steep, and it was not easy to come down.

Later, Shui Laowu couldn't help it and fired two shots into the sky, trying to contact Qu Shaoyang.

But at that time, Qu Shaoyang was tired and sleepy, and had already hidden in the cave and fell asleep, so he did not hear the gunshots.

Late last night, everyone heard gunshots and the roars of wild beasts upstairs.

Shui Laowu was so worried about his disciple that he could not sleep. Even if he had to force his way to the bottom of the valley, he would do it to save his disciple.

So, they found a hillside that was not so steep, tied ropes around their waists, and slowly lowered themselves down.

After finally reaching the bottom of the valley, I was worrying about where to find Qu Shaoyang when I suddenly heard another gunshot.

Shui Laowu was afraid that his apprentice would be harmed by the wild beast, so he hurriedly ran towards the location of the gunshot, but he didn't expect that it was really Qu Shaoyang.

"I was pushed off the cliff by a big running basket. I fainted at the time and I don't know when I woke up. Anyway, it was already dark at that time.

I guess you guys were gone by the time I woke up, and you didn’t hear me firing the gun.”

After listening to Shui Laowu's narration, Qu Shaoyang roughly understood what happened. It was an accident that the whole thing was split.

"Tell me quickly, what's going on with the deer and the blind bear?
My God, you are really capable. You killed two big guys by yourself. You can kill such a big blind bear?"

Compared to the process of searching for Qu Shaoyang, everyone was more concerned about how Qu Shaoyang killed the blind bear.

Qu Shaoyang told everyone everything about how he fell from the top, how he shot and killed a sika deer in the evening, and how he encountered a blind bear while sleeping in the cave last night.

Of course, Qu Shaoyang was cautious and did not tell anyone about what happened in the cave.

After hearing about what Qu Shaoyang had experienced in the past two days, everyone was dumbfounded and amazed.

"Oh my god, this is too mysterious. If you mess up, you might lose your life."

"I guess the big blind bear smelled the venison.

Look at these deer bones. They have all been gnawed by the blind bear. It must be hungry, so it wants to climb up to find meat to eat."

After all, Wang Jiaxiang was a very famous old hunter. After looking around, he made a rough deduction.

Bears are omnivores. They eat wild grasses, wild fruits, berries, fish, sika deer, etc. Basically, they eat everything that can be found in the forest.

The adult male deer has a strong smell, and the bear has a keen sense of smell. Once it smells the scent, it will definitely go up to find food.

But it was unlucky and met Qu Shaoyang. It was shot three times and then had its stomach slashed by Qu Shaoyang, which led to its death.

Now that we have found Qu Shaoyang, there is no time to waste and the important thing is to go back quickly.

But Zhou Chuanyi and Wang Musen were still on the top of the mountain, so they had to be called down to reunite before leaving. So Zhou Chuanren fired a shot into the sky as a signal to those above.

When the people above heard the noise, they also tried to get down to the valley bottom to join them.

There was venison, deerskin and other things in the cave, and Qu Shaoyang was reluctant to throw them away.

So he said something to the water crow, climbed up again, and brought down the venison and other things with a rope.

There were two scimitars next to the skeleton. Qu Shaoyang had just used one of them, which could be called a magical weapon.

Few men could refuse such a good knife. Qu Shaoyang thought about it and decided to take them all.

So he wrapped the two knives with the deerskin, tied them tightly with a rope, and then carried them on his back and left the cave.

Just at this time, Zhou Chuanyi and Wang Musen also came down from the top of the mountain.

The two young men were also very surprised when they saw the huge monster lying on the ground.

When they learned about how Qu Shaoyang killed the bear, they were extremely impressed by him.

A big bear weighing seven or eight hundred kilograms definitely cannot be left in the mountains.

So they skinned the bear and discarded its intestines and other internal organs.

They were reluctant to throw away any of the other parts, so they simply cut them into several large pieces, tied them together with two makeshift sleds, and dragged them along.

When we came here, we slid down from the top. When we go back with so many things, we definitely can’t climb such a steep mountain again.

So everyone decided to walk down the stream and try to find a way back.

"I've been to Xiaodonggou many times, but I didn't know there was such a valley, and even such a cave."

Wang Jiaxiang muttered as he walked out.

Qu Shaoyang turned around and looked at the cave on the stone wall. Suddenly, he had a feeling that there might be some secret in the cave.

He didn’t have time to go deeper into the cave this time, but if he has the chance in the future, he will definitely come again.

The group walked downstream along the stream, and after about two hours, they arrived at a narrow mountain pass.

The mountain pass was surrounded by steep stone walls on both sides and was very narrow in the middle, only wide enough for one person to pass through.

After a lot of effort, everyone finally got out of the mountain pass. When they got outside and looked at the surrounding environment, Wang Jiaxiang couldn't help but burst into swearing.

"Fuck, isn't this Xiaodonggou? Who would have thought that there is such a deep valley in such a narrow crack in the rocks?"

These words really expressed the thoughts of the Zhou brothers. Yes, they often came here, but no one noticed.

At this moment, they should be in the valley in the middle of Xiaodonggou.

After confirming the location, everyone was very happy. They didn't care about being tired anymore and just wanted to drag the meat back home quickly.

By the time Qu Shaoyang and his companions returned to the foot of Maoer Mountain, it was already dusk.

As soon as the crowd entered the village, they caused quite a stir. The dogs in each house started barking like crazy.

Some people came out to check the situation and happened to see Zhou Chuanren and his companions dragging something back.

Someone who was curious went forward to inquire, and found out that it was a young man who had just arrived at the eastern foot of Maoer Mountain and had shot a huge blind bear.
