Halfway through noon, there was a sudden screech of footsteps outside the village, accompanied by the whispers of young people.

After Xiao Bao Niang heard the movement, she smiled and said, "It's Da Bao who came back from hunting." After speaking, she immediately went out, and Ye Chen followed.

Dabao is Xiaobao's elder brother, Dabao is just a milk name, his big name is Yang Dao, and he is only fourteen or fifteen years old this year, but he has already taken on the burden of supporting his family.

On weekdays, there is no meat to eat in the village, most of the time there is only wild vegetables and other vegetarian flavors, if you want to eat some meat and sacrifice your teeth, you have to go into the mountains to hunt by yourself.

However, the hunting team is composed of fourteen or fifteen-year-old teenagers in the village, and they have no hunting experience at all, so more often than not, they return empty-handed.

This time, the team composed of five teenagers including Yang Dao returned empty-handed, so everyone's faces were listless and sullen.

Running for nothing means that they can only rely on vegetarian food to survive during this time.

"Mother, the child has disappointed you again today, alas! I'm really useless!" Yang Dao said with a face full of self-reproach.

Xiao Baoniang is very open-minded, she smiled and comforted: "It's okay, there is no harvest today, next time I try my luck, as long as you can come back safe and sound every time, my mother is already very happy." ”

In the deep mountains, there are many jackals, tigers and leopards, and those large beasts are not at all an existence that ordinary people can deal with, so every time she goes into the mountains to hunt, Xiao Baoniang has to worry for a long time.

It doesn't matter whether you can eat meat or not, as long as these children can come back safely, it is the biggest reward.

At this time, Ye Chen raised his eyes and looked at Yang Dao, it was a young man with dark skin and the same tattered clothes, although he was not very old, his face had already faded from the green and immature, if no one told him, who could know that he was only fourteen years old this year?

His posture is very slender, no, not so much slender, but more appropriate to describe it as thin, a skinny appearance, in fact, not only him, the whole village is like this, a malnourished look, it is distressing.

Ye Chen couldn't help but sigh, how could they hit their prey with such a weak appearance? It was already a great luck not to be eaten by the prey.

"Mother, who is this eldest brother?" Yang Dao also saw Ye Chen standing at the back at this time.

"This is Ye Chen, he is fifteen years old this year, one year older than you, and in the future, he will live here. Xiao Bao Niang introduced them to each other.

"Brother Yang, I'm new here, and I have to ask you to take care of it in the future!" Ye Chen is familiar with himself, even if it is the first time they meet, he will not feel unfamiliar.

As for age, because his current appearance looks like he is only fifteen or sixteen years old, he introduced Xiao Baoniang like this.

"Oh, if I knew that there were guests in the village today, no matter what, I would have to hunt a prey and come back to pick up the wind and wash the dust for Brother Ye. Yang Dao patted his thigh and said.

"It's okay, after lunch, I'll take you into the mountains to hunt in the afternoon, and we'll have a good meal in the evening. Ye Chen said with a smile.

"Okay, okay, don't stand here and talk, you've been busy all morning, you should be hungry, right? Let's start eating first!" Xiao Baoniang saw these two people at first sight, like brothers, and immediately smiled.

"Okay, let's eat!" Yang Dao waved his hand, and several teenagers behind him also dispersed in a hurry and went home.

"Brother Ye, do you also know how to hunt?" At the dinner table, Yang Dao asked curiously.

"There will be some, at least, a few hares should be fine. Ye Chen replied.

"Hey, my father is a serious hunter, he has perfect hunting skills, when he is there, our family can at least eat a meal of meat every three or five days, but it's a pity..."

His father was captured as a slave in the One-Star Dragon Domain for many years, and he still doesn't even know about life and death, and every time he mentions his father, he can't help but feel sad.

Family situations like his are not uncommon in the slave realm, and almost all the people in this village have the same situation.

Halfway through eating, Yang Dao put down the chopsticks in his hand, clenched his fists and said, "I will one day go to the world above and get my father back." His eyes were unwavering, like the blazing sun.

"You kid, think about some unreliable things all day long, whether your father is still alive or not is two words, besides, you are not a spiritual cultivator, what are you going to fight with those powerful people? Xiao Baoniang gently knocked Yang Dao's head and said with a look of affection.

"Mother, my brother is right, when I grow up, I will also go and bring my father back to reunite with us. Xiaobao also said in a milky voice, he is not very old, but he understands everything.

"You are all good boys!" Xiao Bao Niang stroked Xiao Bao's little brain, and her eyes couldn't help but have a layer of mist.

After Ye Chen saw this scene, he couldn't help but be a little moved, and felt deeply, what a warm family, but they just encountered such an opportunity, and all of this was caused by those so-called powerful people.

"I must find a way to repair the elixir...", he strengthened his conviction in his heart.

Whether it is the slave realm or in the Nine Dragons Realm, only with absolute strength can you defend your rights and choose the life you want, without ability, everything is empty talk.

After lunch, Ye Chen asked Yang Dao to gather all the slightly sturdy elders in the village.

"Folks, today I will take you into the mountains to hunt, and you will come with me to carry the prey. He said loudly from a high platform.

The people below looked at him suspiciously, perhaps thinking that he was too young, how could he hit the prey? Don't miss the prey at that time, but put himself in it, it will be more than worth the loss.

Therefore, some elders couldn't help but remind: "Little guy, in the deep mountains and forests, there are often fierce beasts, we don't dare to enter the mountains easily, we people are unarmed, and we are not proficient in hunting skills, if we encounter danger, we can't deal with it at all, in my opinion, or forget it, right?"

"Uh~" Ye Chen looked embarrassed, these uncles and uncles didn't take him seriously at all.

Yang Dao also grinned and said: "Hehe, Brother Ye, these elders in our village are a group of old stubborns, who just want to stay in their comfort zone, so that they won't take risks for a meal of rations, so don't count on them, if you want me to say, let's go with these people, and bring back as much as we can when the time comes, what's wrong, and go home empty-handed?"

"Okay, that's the only way!" Ye Chen shook his head helplessly, he wanted to invite the whole village to a sumptuous dinner, but as a result, no one dared to take an adventure with him, so it was no wonder to him.
