Zhang Yang chuckled.

"They've gone up the mountain, but judging from the continuous gunfire, their aim probably isn't very good."

After the first burst of gunfire, there was a short break before the second burst of gunfire rang out.

"That's the problem with homemade guns," Zhang Yang sighed.

Gao Wen and Gao Wu listened intently again.

"The range is short, so if the prey runs a little too far away, it will be impossible to hit it."

"The gunshot was too loud. The first shot startled the wild animals. If it's just one, it's fine, but if it's a group, four, five or six of them running around aimlessly, it's dangerous for the people."

"Furthermore, loading ammunition is also troublesome."

Thinking back to those rods I bought on the black market last time, they were really expensive!

They were all homemade guns, but they had been modified and could be loaded with bullets, making them a bit more useful than ordinary homemade guns.

He genuinely hoped that the team members could get guns as soon as possible!

In this way, we will no longer be overshadowed by Wulipu in everything.

As he walked, Zhang Yang sensed that something was wrong.

There's a small dark shadow moving ahead!

The other team members also saw it and shouted in a low voice, "There's something over there!"

"It's moving so fast!"

"What is that?"

"It looks like a raccoon!"

"Could it be that the squad leader was right?"

Everyone excitedly chased after them.

However, the fastest runners quickly lost track of the small dark figure.

They looked around, but couldn't find any trace of it.

"Did you see it clearly? What is it?"

"Probably a squirrel? Its tail is definitely quite big!"

"Where can you find a squirrel this big? To me, it looks like a Weasel spirit!"

"what?"

When the name Wong Tai Sin was mentioned, everyone stopped in their tracks.

The five guardian spirits—Hu, Huang, Bai, Liu, and Hei—are popularly known as the Five Great Guardian Spirits of the Household.

That's not someone you can mess with easily!

Even if we encounter this in the wild, and it's not a spirit coming to our door, we shouldn't just touch it, right?

But the hesitation only lasted for a brief moment.

Just imagine if we could catch a weasel, that would be a piece of meat!

Everyone gripped their spears tightly again.

Zhang Yang came up from behind, looked at the messy footprints on the ground, and speculated, "Judging from the footprints, it is indeed a weasel. This thing is small and fast, so you have to be careful when you catch it later, so as not to hurt your own people."

"Yes!"

With a goal in mind, the team members were full of energy.

They used their spears to poke each tree a couple of times.

They even searched for some pits and holes in the ground.

However, the small dark figure never reappeared.

"Hesitated for just a second, and it got away."

"Maybe it's a good thing..."

"We won't go home empty-handed today, will we?"

“No.” Zhang Yang continued, “Look, there are thin strips of droppings next to this mound of earth. The weasel’s den should be nearby.”

The team rallied, shouting, "Our stronghold!"

"There can't be only one!"

"Look again carefully!"

Zhao Dong's team wasn't far away either. Hearing the commotion, they also started digging and rummaging around.

"Look! There's white steam coming from that cave entrance!"

There must be survivors inside!

Several people quickly ran over.

Before they could even stand still, they saw two small dark figures rush out of the burrow.

"It really is a weasel!"

"Look at me!"

The team members gripped their spears tightly and thrust them forward in a frenzy.

With too many people and too few prey, everyone gets anxious and things fall into chaos.

If one wasn't careful, one of the younger team members got his foot pierced by someone else's spear.

"Ouch!"

After a cry of pain, the person who had been stabbed sat down on the ground, crying out, "Don't you have eyes?! My foot's been pierced!"

"What?!"

Zhao Dong was terrified and rushed to check.

The group of people were arguing and shifting blame among themselves.

"It was clearly you who stabbed me!"

"I didn't go that way!"

"You're standing opposite him, who else could it be but you!"

Zhang Yang immediately went to check on the injured person's condition.

Gao Wen and Gao Wu followed, and the man rolled up his trouser leg.

"It's a little torn... I wasn't wearing any."

As Gao Wen spoke, he took out a handful of dry grass leaves from the cloth bag hanging on his body.

"Apply this to stop the bleeding!"

He didn't care about manners; he would stuff grass leaves into his mouth, chew them into a paste, spit them out, and then pinch them in his hand to apply to the wounded.

But the man refused and pulled his leg back.

"What did you do... Is this even usable? It doesn't hurt as much as it did before! Besides, it's through my pants, it's fine, the injury isn't serious, I don't need this..."

Gao Wen explained, "These are herbs I collected with my grandfather! They're dried so they're easy to carry! My grandfather is a senior doctor, and he's treated many people this way! It works!"

"No need..."

"Where are the doctors in Gaojiatun? Could it be that barefoot doctor?"

"Then you shouldn't use it casually. For this little injury, just have the clinic put on a bandage when you get back, and that'll be fine."

"Yes, if you use herbs indiscriminately, you could get poisoned and that would be a real problem."

The team members shared their opinions.

Zhang Yang hadn't originally intended to get involved, but after hearing what they said next, his face immediately darkened.

"Gawain meant well, and instead of thanking you, you're complaining about him."

The young team members remained silent, terrified.

Some of the team members were much older than Zhang Yang, and their eyes revealed a stubbornness that showed they were not convinced.

Zhang Yang saw it, but kept quiet about it.

People teach people, but they can’t teach.

Practice teaches you; you'll learn it in one go!

No matter how much you talk about it, it's better for them to experience the loss for themselves!

Zhang Yang told Gao Wen to put away the herb mud, "You don't need to be so nice to everyone in the future. Herbs don't grow everywhere, and it must be quite difficult for you to collect them. Next time you encounter this situation, just listen to my instructions. Only take it out when I say we need it."

Gao Wen put the herbs in his mouth and chewed them. "Okay!"

Gao Wu whispered, feeling wronged for his brother, "My brother is incredibly capable! Everyone in our village, young and old, trusts him!"

"Xiao Wu, don't say anything, it's alright." Gao Wen chuckled. "This medicine is really excellent; it would be such a waste to throw it away. It stops bleeding externally and clears heat and detoxifies internally—it's great!"

Zhang Yang patted Gao Wen on the shoulder, "Brother Wen, I'll remember your kindness on behalf of the brothers. We'll definitely need these medicines sometime in the future! Herbs are a scarce resource, so you have to cherish them for me!"

Gao Wen nodded, tears welling in his eyes.

After this little incident, the team members resumed chasing the weasel.

This time, a sharp-eyed one struck hard and stabbed the weasel!

But it was still agile; it escaped even after being injured.

Since no prey was found, the group was unwilling to let the opportunity pass and chased after the weasel. As they ran, they entered the trap again.

Zhang Yang remembered the animal traps he had set last time, so he came over to check them out and see if there had been any catches.

He spotted a furry creature in the distance, right under the tree he knew.

Could it be that I'm so lucky, I've run into a pheasant?!

Zhang Yang called over his teammates and they went ahead together.

However, in the same place, they encountered wolves again!

The wolf came running from a distance, panting heavily, as if it were fleeing for its life.
