Chapter 8 Learning to Hunt

The afterglow of summer gradually came to an end, and Chen Xuan's figure carried the bamboo basket on his back towards the Zhang Shanjia in his memory.

In my heart, I have been restless.

The previous scenes in my mind kept appearing.

Such a strange scene was something he had never encountered before, and it was never imagined.

In particular, the hint of the golden finger made him feel cold all over his body.

That's definitely not some aquatic weed.

It is impossible for aquatic plants to be dissolved by children's urine.

Even at this moment, he thought more, the death of his predecessor may not be drowning, it is very likely to be the same as he is today.

"River, you can't go next!"

The thought flashed, and Chen Xuan's heart became heavier and heavier.

Goldfinger's ability is undoubtedly very strong, and he can do many incredible things.

Just like these two days, in the midst of serendipity, food is always obtained.

But it is clear that the system also conforms to real-world rules.

Without the river, it will undoubtedly be more difficult for him to get food in the future.

However, Chen Xuan also understood that in such a dangerous situation as the river, even if he could get food, he might dance in the ghost gate every time, and no one could guarantee that he would be so safe next time.

With such a golden finger, he has a broader future, and there is no need to take this risk now.

Thinking of this, Chen Xuan couldn't help but glance at the bamboo basket behind him, and his heart became more and more firm.

And at this moment, Zhang Shan's house in front of him gradually came into view.

Compared with his family and Chen Erzhuang's family, Zhang Shan's family is undoubtedly a lot more magnificent, not only with bricks, but also with a small courtyard, and its scope is almost a circle.

Chen Xuan took a deep breath and quickly quickened his pace.

A moment later, his figure came to the door of Zhang Shan's house.

"Knock knock!"

There was a soft knock on the door.

"Who!"

A gruff voice came from the compound.

"Uncle Zhang Shan, it's me, Ergou!"

Chen Xuan spoke loudly.

"Two dogs?"

There were some doubts in the courtyard, but he quickly stepped forward and opened the gate of the courtyard.

When the door opened, Chen Xuan finally saw Zhang San's appearance clearly.

This is a middle-aged man who is stronger than his second uncle, although his hair has turned gray, the bulging muscles on his body still make people feel numb, and there is a scar on his rough face that almost extends from his forehead to his neck.

It is said that Zhang Shan was injured by a fierce beast when he entered the mountain in his early years.

"Ergou, what's the matter?"

Zhang Shan looked at Chen Xuan, his expression was a little tired, and his words were a little confused.

As for Chen Xuan, Zhang Shan, who was from the same village, naturally knew about it, but he couldn't understand the reason why Chen Xuan came to him.

"That's right, Uncle Zhangshan, I want to learn to hunt."

Chen Xuan didn't beat around the bush, but spoke directly.

"Hunting?"

Zhang Shan was stunned for a moment, and then frowned.

But before he could speak, Chen Xuan had already taken down the bamboo basket behind him and removed the obscuring blades of grass from it.

And when he saw the herring in the bamboo basket clearly, Zhang Shan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

"Uncle Zhangshan, Ergou knows the rules, this is a herring fish I caught today."

Chen Xuan spoke respectfully.

"You caught it!"

Zhang Shan's brows couldn't help jumping, and his expression was a little surprised.

Zhang Shan knew the danger in that river, he didn't expect that the kid in front of him could catch such a big fish in the river.

"Yes, Uncle Zhangshan, I know that fish is not as good as other meats, Uncle Zhangshan, you can study for a few days."

Chen Xuan nodded, his words still respectful.

"This fish is about twenty catties, so let's do it, I can count ten days for you, can you see the second dog?"

Listening to Chen Xuan's words of affirmation, Zhang Shan recovered from the shock, groaned slightly, and then spoke.

Fish meat really can't be compared with other meats, but this fish is enough for twenty catties, and Zhang San has no intention of refusing this.

Even if he is a hunter, he can't hit the prey every time he enters the mountain, not to mention that now that the mountain has changed drastically, the risk has further increased.

Twenty catties of fish meat is already a lot.

"Thank you, Uncle Zhangshan!"

Listening to Zhang Shan's words, Chen Xuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and hurriedly thanked him.

"No thanks, you provide meat, I teach you to hunt, and everyone takes what they need."

"Come in!"

Zhang Shan spoke, and then turned sideways to get out of the way.

Chen Xuan hurriedly put the bamboo basket on his back and walked into the courtyard.

"Just put the fish in the stove house."

Zhang Shan said.

Chen Xuan hurriedly responded, and then carried the fish into the stove house.

Finding a wooden tub and putting the herring down, he walked out again.

And Zhang Shan was already waiting for him in the courtyard, holding a wooden bow in his hand at the moment.

"After today, for the next ten days, you come over every afternoon, I will teach you an hour, how much you can learn is up to you, ten days later, you can bring a pound of meat over, or bring another fish over."

Zhang Shan's rough voice spoke.

"Understood, Uncle Zhang Shan!"

Chen Xuan nodded hurriedly.

"Hunting, the most important thing is to search, track the prey, get familiar with the jungle, and this archery, the speed of the prey is faster than people, with other weapons to catch the prey, it is almost impossible only the bow and arrow can give you the opportunity to hunt the prey, archery is also the most important!"

"I'll teach you how to shoot an arrow first."

Zhang Shan spoke slowly.

And Chen Xuan also began to listen carefully in an instant, not daring to wander in the slightest.

"The first step in archery is to stand and hold the bow, the archer is facing the target, it is sideways, that is to say, your chest is facing to communicate with the person and the prey you are going to shoot, and your feet should be crossed and look at me."

Zhang Shan opened his mouth, and then took the wooden bow and began to show it in front of Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan looked at it seriously.

It wasn't until a moment later that Zhang Shan handed the wooden bow to Chen Xuan.

At the same time, he taught Chen Xuan's standing position and holding the bow hand by hand.

However, it is obvious that the talent of this body can only be regarded as average, just this one position and holding the bow, Chen Xuan has been learning for more than an hour.

The sky gradually darkened, and Chen Xuan barely grasped it.

"Alright, you can come back tomorrow!"

Zhang Shan shook his head and spoke softly.

"Yes!"

"Then I'll come back tomorrow to disturb Uncle Zhang Shan."

Chen Xuan thanked him, and then left Zhang Shan's house with the bamboo basket on his back.

On the way home, the sunset had completely fallen, and night began to fall.

In the face of the night, compared to yesterday, Chen Xuan was obviously a lot nervous today, and his pace involuntarily accelerated a little.

It wasn't until he arrived home that he breathed a sigh of relief.
