Siheyuan: tomb robbing? I am serious about hunting.

The village chief wiped the sweat from his forehead, fanned himself with a towel, and said vaguely: "Mountains? There are quite a few mountains, why are you asking this?"

Old Liu also interrupted and said, "Xiao Chu, you can't be...hunting?"

"Yes, I have loved hunting since I was a child, and I am quite good at shooting."

As soon as the words fell, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became subtle.

The village secretary, the village chief and Lao Liu all changed their expressions at the same time.

His eyes were filled with fear and anxiety, as if he had heard a horror story.

"what happened?"

Chu Tian was confused by their reactions.

Old Liu swallowed his saliva and said in a low voice: "Xiao Chu, it's not that we don't want you to go, it's just... our mountain is very strange!"

He paused, as if organizing his words, and continued, "We do have a lot of mountains here, with beautiful scenery, but... there were villagers who went into the mountains to hunt before, but... alas, they either never came back, or were injured and came back crawling, and they said... what else..."

"What?" Chu Tian asked, already vaguely guessing something in his mind.

"They also said that there are monsters in the mountains...in the mountains!" Lao Liu's voice became smaller and smaller, almost inaudible.

Chu Tian laughed secretly in his heart, so that's what was happening.

He can catch tigers, leopards and bears.

He could even tame wolves, so any powerful wild beast would be a piece of cake for him.

It seems that the monster in this mountain is most likely some rare animal, which is a perfect opportunity for him to show off his skills!

……

"Secretary, Village Chief, don't worry. I may not have any other skills, but I am good at dealing with wild beasts."

"How about this? As long as the village agrees to let me go hunting, I will share some of the prey with the villagers. How about that?"

"This……"

As soon as these words were spoken, the secretary and the village chief both looked embarrassed.

Old Liu waved his hands again and again: "Xiao Chu, what are you talking about! How can we take your things!"

"It's not that I want your things, it's that we help each other."

"As you know, our factory has been busy lately, and the workers haven't eaten meat for a long time. I came here to see if I can get some game back to improve the food for everyone."

The secretary hesitated for a moment, then shook his head, "No, no! Xiao Chu, hunting is a small matter, eating meat is a small matter, but if someone dies, we can't afford it!"

"Yes, Xiao Chu, just listen to our advice and don't take risks in the mountains." The village chief also followed suit.

Old Liu also nodded and agreed: "You are from the capital. What kind of place is the capital? It is under the feet of the emperor. You must be an extraordinary person. If something happens to us, how can we explain it to the higher-ups?"

What Old Liu said hit the nail on the head for the village secretary and the village chief.

The village secretary and the village chief both thought Chu Tian came from the capital.

What kind of place is the capital city? People who come from such a place cannot be ordinary people.

Moreover, they looked carefully at the young man in front of them, who was dressed neatly.

He has good skin and looks like a scholar, so his family background must be extraordinary.

But they are not people that the villagers can afford to offend!!!

Chu Tian was stunned for a moment before he realized that these two people thought he was some big shot.

He explained with a smile: "Secretary, you misunderstood. I am not a big shot. I am just an ordinary buyer. I came here to complete the task for the factory."

"Really?" The secretary obviously didn't believe it.

Chu Tian raised his right hand, "Absolutely true!"

"No, that won't work either! It will be too late if something happens."

"Secretary, Village Chief, don't worry. Since I dare to go, I will definitely protect myself and will definitely not cause any trouble for you!"

"How about this? I'll write you a letter of guarantee. If anything happens to me in the mountains, I'll bear all the consequences myself. It has nothing to do with you. How about that?"

When the village secretary and the village chief heard this, they were immediately excited.

They looked carefully at the young man in front of them.

Although he was dressed simply, he exuded an indescribable spirit.

The village chief wanted to give some more advice but was interrupted by the village secretary.

"Okay, Old Sun, Xiao Chu has said so much, we can't be so ungrateful.

Then he said to Chu Tian: "Xiao Chu, since you insist on going, we won't stop you. However, you must be careful and don't show off, understand?"

"Secretary, Village Chief, Uncle Liu, don't worry, I know what's going on!"

"That works!"

……

That night, Chu Tian stayed at Old Liu's house.

Although Old Liu's house is shabby, it is still clean and tidy.

Smoke from cooking rises up and dusk falls.

People who have worked hard all day rush home from the fields, and Lao Liu's family is no exception.

"Xiao Chu, just stay at your uncle's place tonight. There's nothing good at home. Just cornmeal steamed bread and cabbage stalks. Just don't mind." Old Liu said as he led Chu Tian into the house.

"Uncle Liu, what are you talking about? I am already very grateful that you can take me in. How can I be picky?"

Chu Tian knew clearly that during those years of famine, the villagers were lucky enough to have something to eat, so how could they dare to ask for anything else?

Old Liu's wife heard the noise and came out from the inner room, her dark face full of smiles.

"Who is this young man?"

"He came from the capital to our village to purchase goods. His name is Chu Tian. You can just call him Xiao Chu."

"Xiao Chu, come on, come in and sit down. I'll go cook."

Having said that, he turned and went into the kitchen.

He quickly made a fire, boiled water, and prepared to knead the dough.

Chu Tian wanted to help, but was stopped by Lao Liu's wife.

"Oh, you can't do such rough work. Sit down and rest for a while. It will be done soon."

Chu Tian couldn't resist and had to give up.

While Old Liu and his wife were not paying attention, he slipped into the space.

He took out a few potatoes and a few eggs.

There is still a large piece left of the wild boar that was killed before.

Chu Tian took them all out directly.

"Uncle Liu, this is what I brought from the city. Look, how about this stewed meat with potatoes and some scrambled eggs?"

As Chu Tian spoke, he stuffed the things into Lao Liu's hands.

Old Liu's eyes widened as he looked at the white potatoes and the greasy pork in front of him.

"This... this won't do. Your things are too valuable. We can't take them."

When Old Liu's wife heard the noise, she also came out from the kitchen.

He was also surprised when he saw what Chu Tian took out.

"Uncle Liu, please don't be polite to me. I brought a lot of food this time. Please feel free to eat."

"No, no, even though we don't have anything good here, we can't take other people's things for free."

"It's okay, Uncle Liu. If you don't accept it, I won't eat here anymore."

"Old Liu, forget it. Xiao Chu also means well. Just accept it."

Only then did Old Liu take the things from Chu Tian's hand and sighed continuously.

"It's so rare to have a full meal these days. Xiao Chu, you are such a good person!"

It was just a simple sentence, but it made Chu Tian feel mixed emotions.

Yes, in their opinion, having enough food to eat is the greatest happiness.

But in later generations, how many people wasted food and squandered the gifts from nature!!!
