In this era of small-scale peasant economy, which is similar to the feudal era in the previous life, the role of a prime-aged labor force for a family is too great.

The reason why Chen Xuan's predecessor family was so difficult was that it was not his predecessor father, and his eldest brother were taken away by conscription and hard labor.

You must know that before this, Chen Xuan's family was actually quite good, at least in the village, it could be regarded as a midstream front, otherwise there would be no more small stones.

But that's it, with the predecessor father and eldest brother being taken away, the family is in a bad situation in an instant.

The eldest brother was fine when he left, but after the predecessor's father left, the whole family almost collapsed, if it weren't for the second uncle to take care of him, he might not have been able to wait for Chen Xuan to cross over.

And at this moment, fourteen young and strong.

That's fourteen families.

These families are undoubtedly panicking.

But obviously, even if they panicked, it would be useless.

The back mountain is still quiet, without any movement, like a terrifying beast that is about to choose people to devour, making everyone's hearts worry.

And in the midst of the family's anxieties and worries, the night gradually passed.

When the morning sun shines, a new day is announced.

But the villagers who stayed up all night still couldn't wait for their families to return.

And the next time undoubtedly made them even more desperate.

Because so it was on the first day.

The same was true the next day.

Day 3.

For three days, the fourteen people seemed to have completely disappeared into the back mountain, without any trace.

Even if these villagers asked some familiar villagers to go to the back mountain to investigate, they did not find any traces.

A group of people gathered at the entrance of the village, waiting anxiously.

Uneasy thoughts spread more and more in the hearts of every family.

"How long have they been up!"

Someone asked in a whisper.

"It's been four hours!"

Someone replied, and his heart was equally worried.

And in the midst of these people's apprehension, in the woods, one by one figures appeared.

This made the people in the crowd look happy, but before their joy spread, when the figures came out one by one, the joy instantly froze.

There was no family in the crowd.

Those who walked out of the jungle were only villagers who went up the mountain to look for them.

"Brother Shanhu, what's wrong, has my baby been found?"

An old woman spoke with words of hope, her body trembling.

"That's right, Brother Shanhu, have you found that one in my house?"

"Brother Mountain Tiger!"

"Uncle Mountain Tiger!"

One voice after another arose, accompanied by the old woman's mouth, and the surrounding family members also spoke.

The middle-aged man who took the lead couldn't help but shake his head.

Looking at these hopeful eyes, he hesitated slightly, but still spoke softly.

"We searched for two or three miles around, but we didn't see Zhang Shan and them, they may have gone deeper into the deep forest, where we dare not go."

The middle-aged man, the figure known as the mountain tiger, told the story.

"This, this!"

"How is this good!"

"Daddy, kid!"

Listening to the mountain tiger's explanation, everyone was not comforted, but became more anxious.

It was not found for two or three miles around.

Plus it's three days.

In everyone's hearts, the last hope is about to burst.

But at this very moment.

Shan Hu looked at everyone's panic, but hesitated to speak.

"Everyone, we only dare to enter two or three miles, but the second dog can hunt wild boars, and must have entered deeper into the jungle, you can try, if the second dog agrees, maybe there is still a possibility to find it."

The mountain tiger spoke.

And his words instantly made everyone's eyes light up.

"Yes, Ergou!"

"Yes, there are two dogs!"

One by one, the family members also reacted at this moment.

This time they went up the mountain, and they knew that the two dogs didn't go up the mountain.

Mountain tigers dare not go deeper, but the two dogs may dare.

At this moment, everyone was like a person in the water grasping the last straw.

Someone even turned around directly and rushed towards Chen Xuan's house.

Chen Xuan's home.

Evening.

Chen Xuan was still teaching Chen Erzhuang how to practice archery.

Subconsciously raised his head, and immediately saw a group of people coming towards him.

This made him stop moving.

"Brother Erzhuang, I'll practice again later!"

Chen Xuan spoke, looking a little puzzled.

"Oh!"

"Good, good!"

Chen Erzhuang was stunned for a moment, but he quickly nodded and agreed.

And just when Chen Erzhuang stopped to pack up his bow and arrows, the crowd had already arrived at Chen Xuan's door.

Since the gate of the courtyard was not closed, everyone also walked in directly.

"Ergou, please save my family!"

"Yes, Ergou, the third aunt will hurt you the most in the future!"

"Ergou, can I give you a favor!"

The voices opened one after another, which instantly made the small courtyard look extremely noisy.

"Guys, be quiet, what's going on?"

"Let one speak, or I won't be able to hear clearly!"

The chaotic voice, and even someone kneeling, made Chen Xuan a little confused, he couldn't help it, and quickly stopped everyone's behavior, and his words couldn't help but raise the volume a little.

"Everyone, be quiet!"

Hearing Chen Xuan's words, Shanhu hurriedly spoke.

As he spoke, the crowd gradually quieted down.

"What happened to Uncle Mountain Tiger?"

Chen Xuan looked at the mountain tiger and opened his mouth with doubts.

"That's the case, Zhang Shan, didn't they take people up the mountain to hunt three days ago, and they haven't come back yet, we have also looked for them on the mountain, and there is no figure of them for two or three miles around."

The mountain tiger smiled bitterly and told the situation.

"Three days?"

Chen Xuan's brows lifted, and his brows couldn't help frowning slightly.

This is not the ancient life of the previous life, in this era, hunting rarely lived in the wild, usually go in the morning, and have to come back in the evening, even if you have to spend the night in the mountains, it is only one night at most, but at this moment it is three days.

This is not good news.

"That's right, it's been three days, Ergou, aren't your hunting skills the strongest in the village, everyone is thinking if you can help go to the mountains to have a look!"

The mountain tiger opened his mouth carefully.

"This one!"

Chen Xuan fell into deep thought.

And seeing Chen Xuan fall into deep thought, the crowd seemed to be noisy again, but they were still suppressed by the mountain tiger.

And in the midst of apprehension, nervousness, and anxious eyes.

After a moment, Chen Xuan raised his head again.

"That's it, Uncle Mountain Tiger is too late today, it's too dangerous to go up the mountain, I'll go and see it tomorrow, it's been three days anyway, it's not bad for this day!"

As soon as the words spoke, Chen Xuan thought about it for a moment and agreed, this was not a big deal for him.

And his promise made some people in the crowd breathe a sigh of relief, and some people subconsciously wanted to speak again.

But he was glared back by the mountain tiger.

"Good!"

"Then I'll thank Ergou for them!"

"I won't bother your family!"

The mountain tiger smiled and spoke, and then beckoned the crowd to leave.
