Chapter 47 Entering the Mountains to Rescue People
Chang Kun frowned. He knew Jin Sanjia all too well. Jin Sanjia must have been confident he could find the wild boar, which was why he borrowed the gun and went into the mountains with the Zhang family father and son.
Chang Kun asked, "Jin Sanjia, how do you know where the wild boars are?"
Jin Sanjia lowered his head and remained silent, trying to bluff his way through.
Zhang Quhun slapped him across the face. "Speak up! If anything happens to my dad or my brother, I'll fucking kill you!"
Jin Sanjia shuddered, not daring to argue with a scoundrel like Zhang Quhun. As long as he wasn't allowed to go into the mountains late at night, everything would be fine.
"I...I was following behind Chang Kun when I found pig hoof prints on a collar, which is why I called Old Zhang and his son to go into the mountains together."
Although he spoke softly, the surrounding villagers could hear him clearly.
Upon hearing this, the surrounding villagers looked at each other in bewilderment.
Jin Sanjia is good at these crooked tricks; he even learned to follow Chang Kun in order to hunt wild boars.
Those who were close to Chang Kun's family spat on the ground to express their contempt for Jin Sanjia.
Chang Kun kicked Jin Sanjia hard in the shin with his toe. "Where did you and Old Man Zhang encounter wolves?"
Jin Sanjia knew he hadn't done anything right, so he rubbed his calf, not daring to complain of the pain. He gestured with his fingers and said, "Go over the collar with the hoof print, cross a hill to the west, and you'll encounter three wild wolves on that hill."
Chang Kun pondered for a moment and remembered the hill where he had hunted the blue sheep. That was it; the wolves were probably attracted there by the smell of the blue sheep's blood.
He looked up at Zhang Quhun.
Zhang Quhun turned to look at Chang Kun, a glimmer of hope appearing in his eyes. He hesitated to speak, as it was already dark, and anyone who went into the mountains would face certain dangers.
The surrounding villagers started talking, and most of them were not optimistic about the Zhang family father and son. They thought that since more than half a day had passed and the two had not returned home, their fate must be grim.
Several families were close to Old Man Zhang, but on this dark and slippery day, and knowing there were wolves in the mountains, they all turned their heads away and didn't dare to offer to help.
Chang Kun looked at Zhang Quhun and recalled the scene in his previous life when Zhang Quhun brought him food when he was most hungry. His heart softened. His best friend was in trouble, and he had to help him. Besides, he had the system at his disposal, and if he was careful, nothing would go wrong.
He handed the bicycle to his mother, saying, "Mom, I'll go check on Ququ."
Liu Meifen's heart skipped a beat. She reached out to stop Chang Kun. It was dark, and there were unknown dangers in the mountains. She didn't want her son to take the risk.
Several of Zhang Pianxin's relatives live in this village, but none of them went to the mountains to rescue people. Why should his son, an outsider, meddle in other people's business?
But with the Zhang family father and son now staying in the mountains, and lives at stake, Liu Meifen couldn't very well tell her son not to go.
She turned to look at several villagers who were on good terms with the Zhang family. They all had their heads down, avoiding eye contact, as if afraid of being called out.
You can't blame them. These families all have elderly parents and young children to support. If they encounter danger in the mountains, in these days, losing a single able-bodied person can be a disaster for the whole family.
Chang Kun only dared to go into the mountains because he had a system that allowed him to sense the location and size of prey weighing 220 jin (approximately 160 catties). Otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to act like a saint.
When Zhang Quhun heard that Chang Kun wanted to go into the mountains with him, he wiped away a tear and secretly remembered this kindness.
He shoved Jin Sanjia to the ground, picked up the wood-chopping knife he had prepared, and silently followed behind Chang Kun.
Chang Kun turned to his mother and smiled, "Mom, don't worry, I'll just go check on things. I'll be careful."
Even so, how could Liu Meifen not worry? She opened her mouth as if to say something, but then stopped herself, finally choking out, "My son, you must be careful."
The crescent moon was just rising, casting a hazy glow on the path outside the village.
Chang Kun, carrying a gun, trudged to the foot of the mountain and asked Zhang Quhun to cut some branches to use as torches.
There are small paths outside the mountains, but once you enter the mountains, there are no paths. You have to rely on your familiarity with the hills to find your own way.
Chang Kun dared not relax for a moment, sensing the situation of the prey around him. The system could now sense a range of 600 meters. The prey was extremely active at night, and he could sense small animals darting around everywhere.
Chang Kun led the way, holding a torch. He took each step carefully, making sure his footing was firm before daring to take the next, and with each step he kept a safe distance from the prey's location.
According to his senses, the prey were all small, but Chang Kun did not relax at all, because there might be traces of poisonous snakes among them.
He remembered that there was a type of snake in their area called "earth ball snake," scientifically known as the short-tailed viper. In those days, there was no corresponding antivenom, and being bitten by it was almost always fatal.
In the dozen or so villages around here, there are people who have died from being bitten by this kind of snake.
After walking for more than an hour, Chang Kun led Zhang Quhun to the foot of Wild Boar Ridge.
He sensed for a while silently, but found no trace of the Zhang family father and son. He then continued walking towards the hill where the shooting of the blue sheep had taken place.
Meanwhile, more and more people heard the news, and most of the village gathered at the village entrance.
After Chang Dashan and the other girls finished their meal, seeing that Liu Meifen and Chang Kun had not yet returned, they led them to the village entrance to inquire about the situation.
When they learned that Chang Kun had led Zhang Quhun into the mountains in the dark to rescue people, Chang Dashan and the girls became anxious.
Ignoring the brand-new bicycle, Chang Dashan climbed the big tree at the village entrance and peered into the distance, but there was only a crescent moon visible, and he couldn't see very far.
The little girls leaned against their mother, not paying attention to the beautiful bicycle; they just wanted their older brother to come home as soon as possible.
Over the past few days, they've eaten so much delicious food with their older brother, and he even brought them a rabbit model kit, which they still haven't assembled. They want their older brother to help them assemble it.
The surrounding villagers were whispering among themselves.
"This Chang Kun is incredibly daring. There's all sorts of things in the mountains at night; most people wouldn't dare go there."
"To be honest, Chang Kun is a real hero. He has no relation to the Zhang family, yet he dared to risk his life to save them. For that alone, I admire him!"
"Maybe the Zhang family father and son are already beyond saving, and going there would be a waste of time."
"Exactly, exactly. There are wolves and bears in those mountains at night, and swarms of tufts of dirt running around. What if they run into them..."
Liu Meifen was getting annoyed and was about to retort.
Chang Qing couldn't hold back any longer and glared at the people who were saying discouraging things. "My older brother will be back soon and he will definitely save the person!"
My older brother can catch rabbits, can you?
My older brother can hunt wild boars, can you?
My older brother has a bicycle, do you have one?
Chang Qing's few words, like a machine gun, left the group speechless.
Liu Meifen's gaze was icy as she looked around. Several villagers who had been pessimistic about Chang Kun lowered their heads, not daring to meet her eyes.
Meanwhile, Chang Kun, with Zhang Quhun, was slowly approaching the hill where they were fighting the Qingyang.
From afar, he sensed the location of the Zhang family father and son; they were lying motionless on a large tree.
Chang Kun did not sense any trace of the wolves.
Unbeknownst to him, the three wolves were crouching on the opposite hillside, sniffing the air.
This distance is beyond the system's sensing range.
