Yan Zhenshen certainly hadn't read the notice, but when he entered the city yesterday, the gatekeeper saw that he was a hunter and didn't question him any further.

She just frowned and said, "Why are you bringing your husband along?"

He didn't ask much at the time. After all, the city gates were about to close and there were still many people queuing behind.

He looked at the butcher: "What notice?"

"Wolf hunting." The butcher said, "In the next village of Heshun County, a pack of wolves suddenly came down from the mountain a few nights ago and killed not only all the livestock in the village, but also many people."

"It would have been fine if they had bitten them to death, but they ate them all. I heard that the people who collected the bodies didn't know how to start. Some were missing arms and legs, and their internal organs were taken out."

The butcher's words became more and more outrageous: "The worst case was a child of seven or eight years old. Almost all of his flesh was eaten up, and except for his head, all the bones in his body were bitten to pieces."

The butcher sighed and said, "That's why we don't lock the door at night. Otherwise, the wolf can't get into the house."

Yan Zhenshen frowned: "A wolf entered the village, and the men in the village didn't fight back?"

"One or two wolves are useless." The butcher said, "They came in the middle of the night. By the time the villagers realized what was happening, the wolves had already entered the village. If anyone dared to go out directly, they would be sending away food."

Chu Xiao agreed with this point. When encountering danger, the first thing to do is to protect yourself and those around you, and then think about other things.

Obviously Yan Zhenshen did not quite agree with this. A wolf pack usually consisted of a dozen adult wolves. Even if a village was not big, there were still dozens of men. Two or three men could deal with one wolves. How could they allow wolves to enter the village and eat people?

The butcher looked at his expression and probably knew what this man was thinking, because he had the same idea at first, but the facts are often not what you think.

"I heard that there are 40 to 50 wolves coming down the mountain this time." The butcher said, "An old hunter who has been hunting for many years said that this is because the cold winter came too early this year. The wolves gathered together to survive. Now that they have eaten and drunk enough, they may attack other villages again in a while."

Yan Zhenshen didn't know what to say for a moment. There were forty or fifty of them at once, and anyone who saw them would panic.

"The magistrate of Heshun County reported the matter to the capital, and now he is looking for hunters everywhere to hunt wolves. He will give ten taels of silver for each wolf he kills. Wolves are much easier to hunt than wild boars."

Yan Zhenshen: “…” This wild boar was not hunted by him.

The butcher chuckled and said, "I can see that you are a capable person. I was thinking that whoever kills the wolf will own it. Can you sell me the wolf skin at the normal price? How about three taels and five cents per piece?"

Wolf hair is rough, not as soft as fox or badger fur. Generally, this kind of fur is used to make wolfskin mattresses. Some hunters also use it to make coats. Many brushes used by literati are also made of wolf hair.

Yan Zhenshen had been a hunter for eight years but had never hunted a wolf. Firstly, these animals live in groups, usually between eight and fifteen, and it was not easy for him to deal with a pack of wolves alone.

Second, wolves are very vengeful. If you can't kill them all, you won't be able to close your eyes and sleep at night when you live in the mountains.

Although it was possible to kill the lone wolf, he felt it was unnecessary. Not only was wolf meat not tasty, but its fur was also not very valuable. The price given by the butcher was relatively high. In their Anning Town, a wolf skin might only be worth one or two taels of silver.

Yan Zhenshen was silent for a long time. This thing would come down the mountain and bite people to death. If it was not eliminated, there would be endless troubles. As a hunter, hunting wolves is understandable, but this job is also dangerous.

If anything unexpected happens, what will happen to her husband?

Chu Xiao knew his brother Shen. He was usually taciturn and seemed cold, but he was actually a kind-hearted person.

On the one hand, I think it's better to have less trouble than more, but on the other hand, I can't harden my heart.

After all, so many lives were lost, and there may be more in the future. If he is not allowed to go, I am afraid Brother Shen will sigh every time he thinks about it in the future.

Chu Xiao actually hoped that he could be as cold and hard as he appeared, at least to avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble.

But if Yan Zhenshen was really like that, he would not have rescued him and the Chu father and son, and he would not have met them in the deep mountains and returned.

This man probably has nothing to do with him, so what does it matter whether he wants it or not?

That's how his brother Shen is, and it's good this way.

"Okay, if we hunt it, we will sell it to you. If we can't borrow it, there's nothing we can do about it." Chu Xiao spoke up and agreed on behalf of Yan Zhenshen.

Yan Zhenshen turned around and looked at him in astonishment: "Husband?"

When he heard Chu Xiao agree, he became extremely nervous. He always felt that his husband's next words would definitely shock him.

He was right. Chu Xiao curled his lips and smiled: "You bastard who doesn't make money is a bastard. I'll go with you and we'll take it all."

"Nonsense." Yan Zhenshen's face darkened. "There were forty or fifty wolves, not just one or two. Do you know how dangerous it is?"

Chu Xiao shrugged nonchalantly: "But you want to go."

Yan Zhenshen was speechless for a moment.

"Go ahead. As long as you let me accompany you, we can go anywhere and do anything." Chu Xiao pulled his hand: "We still have a big family to support. I know my limits and will never put us in real danger."

His mental strength has now recovered nearly half, and he can fully use his lightning ability.

At worst, they will all be wrapped up with vines and dragged into space, and they will all be dead when they come out.

He can now kill the wolf without it being visible, but his brother Shen doesn't believe it.

"You can't go." The two returned to the inn and were still arguing about this.

Yan Zhenshen looked at him very seriously: "Just wait for me at the inn. I promise I will come back safe and sound."

"What guarantee do you have?" Chu Xiao asked.

Yan Zhenshen was speechless again, and after a long while he said, "Then we won't go."

Chu Xiao snorted: "Whether you go or not, I'll go anyway."

"Husband!" Yan Zhenshen stared at him.

Chu Xiao thought he was going to get angry, and was ready to show him his strength.

But his brother Shen glared at him for a long time before he said something weakly.

"You are not allowed to go."

Chu Xiao: “…” Would it be better to show some momentum? This way he can take advantage of the situation and show him your skills.

Otherwise, without any opportunity, if you suddenly show off yourself no matter how badly you do, you will even feel like you are deliberately showing off.

The two of them stared at each other for a long time, and Chu Xiao sighed: "Brother Shen, go ahead, I'll wait for you at the inn."

"Really?" Yan Zhenshen asked uncertainly.

Chu Xiao waved his hand: "Go ahead, go ahead, as long as you come back alive."

Yan Zhenshen was still a little suspicious, always feeling that his husband must have a backup plan.

He thought about it and shook his head: "Forget it, I'll accompany you to go around tomorrow, and we'll go back the day after tomorrow."

Chu Xiao quickly sat up from the bed and asked: "You're not selling the wild boar anymore?"

Yan Zhenshen said nothing, turned over and closed his eyes. Chu Xiao pushed him: "You really don't want to sell it?"

The man continued to play dumb.

He didn't even think about whether to sell the wild boar or not. He was just afraid that his husband would get excited and run to Yongshun Town.

It's not that he doesn't know his husband's abilities, but he is always afraid that something unexpected might happen, which he definitely cannot bear.
