Hunting fairies and demons

The screams were particularly permeable in the silent night. Lu Yan couldn't help but think of the crazy woman's words during the day and got goosebumps all over his body.

At this time, the screams started again, and after several consecutive shouts, they fell into silence.

It seems like that crazy woman's voice is going crazy again?

Lu Yan pondered.

Then he tightened his clothes, opened the door and walked to the living room, where he saw Lu Qingshan and Wang Cui were already in the living room.

Lu Qingshan was relatively calm, but Wang Cui was a little nervous.

The three of them didn't speak. They waited in the living room for a while, but didn't hear the scream again.

It should be that crazy woman who went crazy. It's okay. Yan'er, you can go to sleep. If you need anything, call us.

Lu Qingshan said.

Dad, Mom, you guys should go to bed early too.

Lu Qingshan responded, walked into the room, closed the door, and lay down undressed.

This time, it was even harder to fall asleep. The crazy woman's words kept lingering in my ears, making it difficult to go away. It wasn't until I was so sleepy that I fell asleep again.

Nothing happened all night.

The next day, Lu Qingshan went into Woniu Mountain to hunt early in the morning. Wang Cui went to dig the ground with a hoe, preparing to plant potatoes, so that Lu Yan could rest at home and recuperate.

Lu Yan ate a bowl of clear porridge and then walked around the village. He saw several old villagers gathering together to chat.

Uncles, do you know where the aunt who went crazy yesterday lives?

Lu Yan stepped forward to inquire.

You are looking for Aunt Niu, so you don't have to go. I live next door to her house. Aunt Niu went crazy last night and ran out of the village. His family chased him out of the village and he has not returned yet.

An old man said.

The whole family ran out? No one came back?

No!

The old man said.

strangeness!

Lu Yan thought.

Generally speaking, even if you want to chase a crazy woman, you should leave one person to look after the house. Why did the whole family chase her out and didn't come back all night?

The wilderness of this world is not safe at night, poisonous insects and wild beasts are infested. On the way to exile, he saw many people being bitten to death by wild beasts and dragged away. He himself almost died in the mouth of a beast.

Regardless of whether we caught the crazy woman or not, we should return to the village as soon as possible. How could we stay away all night?

Could it be that after the family chased them out, they were all bitten to death by wild beasts?

Or is there another reason?

Family member Liu.

Lu Yan's heart moved.

Yesterday, the crazy woman shouted in front of everyone. Today, the whole family disappeared. It was too much of a coincidence.

If it was really the powerful Liu family who did it, why did he do it?

What did Aunt Niu say yesterday?

Just because of the crazy words of a crazy woman, why should it be like this?

On the other hand, if it was really Liu who did it, it would prove that what Aunt Niu said yesterday was true.

Thinking of this, a chill came from Lu Yan's heart.

The villagers with empty houses in the backing village all died, but not because of the plague, but because of evil ghosts seeking their lives.

Lu Yan didn't believe in the ghost's claim for his life before, but something as outrageous as time travel has happened, what else is impossible?

What's more, in this world, there is such extraordinary power as martial arts, and it is normal for other outrageous things to happen.

Uncle, was Aunt Niu crazy before?

Lu Yan took a deep breath to calm down and asked.

A look of unnaturalness flashed across the faces of several villagers, but they were quickly covered up.

She wasn't crazy before, but during the previous plague, both of her children died of illness. Since then, she has been crazy. She talks crazy all day long. Don't take it to heart, my dear.

The same old man answered.

Uncle, was there really a plague here before?

Lu Yan suddenly asked.

Of course it's true. Many acquaintances are gone.

The old man sighed.

Lu Yan asked a few more indirect questions, but didn't get any useful information.

But Lu Yan always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong specifically. He had too little information.

Now that you've arrived, make peace with it. It's better to take it one step at a time and be more cautious in the future.

Lu Yan said secretly.

As for moving out of the mountain village, it is not realistic.

Their family has been registered as a villager in the mountain village, and other villages are full. Even if they want to move to other villages, they will be turned away.

As for Changfeng City, it is even more unrealistic. The price of any house in the city is astronomical to them.

Afterwards, Lu Yan walked around the village and observed carefully, but found nothing unusual.

In the evening, Lu Qingshan came back from the mountains, bringing back a small basket of wild fruits and six or seven wild sweet potatoes.

Lu Yan weighed it and found that each wild sweet potato weighed more than a pound.

Wild sweet potatoes are widely distributed, even in the mountains of the original owner’s former hometown, but since the natural disaster, even the turf has been dug up.

However, there were no disasters around Changfeng City. The people had a surplus of food and rarely went into the mountains to find food. Therefore, it was considered to be rich in products. Wild vegetables, wild fruits, and wild sweet potatoes were not difficult to find.

Look

Lu Qingshan opened a bundle of dry firewood and took out a pheasant.

The pheasant is very fat, weighing about three pounds.

Master, you really caught a pheasant. You can replenish Yan'er's health today.

Wang Cui smiled broadly, and Lu Yan's stomach growled a few times.

Mother, clean up the pheasants and be careful not to be seen by others. I'll cut down some smelly trees.

After Lu Qingshan finished speaking, he walked out with the hatchet. Soon, he came back with a large bundle of green branches and spread them around the kitchen.

Stink tree, a plant that is not found on earth, can emit a pungent smell. When spread around the kitchen, it can well cover up the aroma of stewed meat.

The other people in the village can't even get enough to eat brown rice, let alone meat. Once they know that they have hunted pheasants, they will definitely be jealous and may do some sneaky things. It is better to be careful.

It wasn't until it was completely dark that Wang Cui chopped half of a chicken and stewed it with wild sweet potatoes. The rich aroma made Lu Yan drool like crazy.

Yan'er, eat more. Master, if you want to go hunting in the mountains, you should also eat more.

After cooking, Wang Cui served Lu Yan and Lu Qingshan a large bowl, mostly filled with chicken, while he only had a small bowl, mostly filled with wild sweet potatoes.

Mom, I'll give you this chicken drumstick. It's too much, I can't finish it.

Lu Yan wanted to give Wang Cui a chicken leg.

He knew that Wang Cui had a hard time digging in the ground during the day, and he was the only one in the family who did nothing.

The main reason is that he just suffered a serious illness and is weak and unable to do anything for the time being.

Yan'er, you haven't recovered from your serious illness. It's time to replenish your body. You need to eat more. Mom, that's enough.

Wang Cui pushed Lu Yan's drumstick back.

Yes, Yan'er, eat more. Dad has eaten wild fruits in the mountains and is not hungry yet. Share some with your mother.

Lu Qingshan took a few pieces of chicken from his bowl to Wang Cui.

Lu Yan couldn't resist the two elders, so he had to eat heavily. The only thing he could do now was to take good care of his health as soon as possible so that he could share some of the burden for the two elders.

This meal was the most delicious meal Lu Yan had ever eaten since he came to this world.

The village was quiet tonight, nothing unusual.

Early the next morning, Lu Qingshan still went into the mountains to hunt and pick wild fruits and vegetables, while Wang Cui still went digging in the ground.

On this day, Aunt Niu's family still did not come back, as if they had evaporated out of thin air.

Time flies by like a flash, and ten days pass in the blink of an eye.

During these ten days, the village was very peaceful, nothing unusual happened, and the uneasiness in Lu Yan's heart gradually dissipated.

Lu Qingshan does not harvest every day, but on average he can always bring back a wild animal, such as a pheasant or a hare, in two or three days.

With the nourishment of meat, Lu Yan recovered very quickly. Ten days later, he had fully recovered and his mental outlook was completely new.

At this time, Lu Yan came up with the idea of ​​learning hunting from Lu Qingshan.

If you want to survive in this world, you can't do it without any skills.

If you can't practice martial arts for the time being, you can still learn to hunt.

Hunting includes archery, which can protect oneself at critical moments. On the way to escape, Lu Qingshan relied on a hunting bow many times to frighten other people with malicious intentions.

After breakfast that day, Lu Yan was about to speak when he heard crying not far away.

It's Mrs. Hai's voice.

what happened?

Go and have a look.

Lu Qingshan took the hunting bow and pushed out the door, followed by Lu Yan and Wang Cui.

Haisao's house was just next door to theirs, about ten meters away. When they walked outside the door, they saw several big men walking out of Haisao's house, holding several bags in their hands. It was obvious at a glance that they contained food.

Leave some food for us. If you take it all, how will our family survive?

A woman chased him out, crying loudly.

Go away, I'll break your legs if I yell again.

A big man slapped Mrs. Hai on the face, causing Mrs. Hai to stagger back and sit on the ground. Half of her face was swollen.

Mom, mother, what's wrong with you, woo woo woo.

A little girl of seven or eight years old, thin and thin, ran out, holding Mrs. Hai's arm and crying helplessly.

It's them.

Lu Yan secretly gritted his teeth.

He knew these people as notorious scoundrels and bandits on the road to exile.

The three names are Wu Chaofeng, Li Shi and Li Mu.

It is said that the three of them have been apprentices in the martial arts hall for several years. Although they have not learned anything famous, they are still very powerful. Especially the leader Wu Chaofeng, who has brute strength and sharp boxing skills, and can easily defeat three or four big men.

On the way to exile, they were lazy and never looked for food themselves. Once others found food, they would rob it by force.

Some people were deprived of food by them and eventually starved to death.

The three of them also tried to snatch food from Lu Yan and the others, but were frightened away by Lu Qingshan's hunting bow.

Now it was obvious that he had squandered the borrowed food and started eyeing other people's food.

Wu Chaofeng also saw Lu Qingshan, Lu Yan and Wang Cui. He stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, with strong malice flashing in his eyes, and then strode towards them.

Yan'er, step back.

Lu Qingshan blocked Lu Yan behind him, holding a hunting bow in his hand and preparing for the attack.
