Chapter 3996 One Lynx

At this moment, Wang Guodong's son stepped forward and said, "Oh dear, I've always found this strange. The branch I stepped on was very sturdy, but I don't know why it suddenly broke. Also, when I was raiding the bird's nest, I put my hand in, but it didn't feel like bird eggs. It was cold and felt like a snake. Then I got scared and fell off the tree."

"You're such a brat, making excuses. That tree is over ten meters tall, what were you doing climbing up there?" Wang Guodong had a fiery temper, and he would get furious whenever this was mentioned.

Although Wang Guodong's son is in his fifties, he is still very afraid of his father.

Then I asked again, "Your grandson also lost an eye and is lame. How did that happen? Was it also an accident?"

“My grandson is not an accident. He was born with disabilities. He is blind in one eye and has difficulty walking. I don’t know what sins he committed, but none of his three generations are able to walk properly. Now his great-grandson is still in his mother’s womb and refuses to come out.” Wang Guodong sighed.

There's always something fishy going on when things seem unusual; that's an ironclad rule.

First, Wang Guodong accidentally broke his leg and lost an eye. Then, his son fell from a tree while trying to find a bird's nest, breaking his leg and losing three fingers.

Then came his grandson, who was born with a disability, being blind in one eye and lame in the other.

It seems like a curse has been cast upon the Wang family, making them disabled for generations.

Just as I was thinking about this, Third Master Qiao called out, "Brother, let's take it slow with your granddaughter-in-law's matter. Young Master Wu will definitely have a solution. We've come all this way, so shouldn't you treat us to a meal and get us some local specialties to try?"

Wang Guodong then realized what was happening and quickly asked his son to prepare some food to treat us well.

I need to analyze this carefully to see where the problem lies.

Although I wasn't very good at school, I still have a lot of experience in dealing with these kinds of things. Back then, I used all the energy I had for studying to delve into various magical techniques.

While Uncle Qiao and the others were busy preparing food, I stayed alone in the courtyard, thinking about what had happened to Wang Guodong's family.

Lost in thought, I didn't realize that a table had been set up in the yard, and various dishes had been brought out.

The aromas of dishes like braised chicken with mushrooms, sauerkraut stew with glass noodles, stewed pork with minced pork, catfish stew with eggplant, and sweet and sour pork were so enticing that they immediately disrupted my thoughts.

At this moment, Uncle Qiao hurriedly invited me to sit down at the table for dinner and even ordered two jin of strong liquor.

This time, Third Master Qiao also brought some ginseng wine, which I quickly waved and refused.

This alcohol is too strong. I'm afraid that if I drink a few sips, I'll fall asleep right away, just like yesterday.

A group of us sat around a round table in the courtyard, drinking and eating. Halfway through the meal, everyone was a little tipsy, and their faces were all flushed.

I suddenly looked at Wang Guodong and said seriously, "Grandpa Wang, when I looked at your granddaughter-in-law just now, I found that she had some demonic aura, but it was very weak. This matter must be related to some kind of demon that has become a spirit. When I came into the house just now, I saw that there were a lot of hunting tools in your room. Did you often go hunting in the mountains when you were young?"

When Wang Guodong heard me say that, he suddenly paused for a moment, nodded, and said, "That's right. When I was young, there weren't so many rules. I could go up the mountain to hunt whenever I wanted. I even had a hunting rifle back then. When I was young, I got my hands on a lot of good stuff. I caught sika deer, roe deer, wild boar, and even hunted a bear. But hunting was banned later, and in recent years I can only catch some small things."

"Have you ever hunted any particularly sinister creatures, like foxes, hedgehogs, or weasels?" I looked into Wang Guodong's eyes.

Wang Guodong was about to drink when I asked about this, and his glass stopped mid-air. After a long pause, he said, "Young Master Wu, these are all immortals. In our Northeast, who would dare to touch these great immortals? They'd be asking for trouble..."

"Think carefully, is it true or not?" I said again.

Wang Guodong hesitated for a moment, thought carefully, and then said, "There's something I don't know if it's related to what Young Master Wu said. I remember that year, the mountains were blocked by heavy snow, and we ran out of food. My wife was pregnant and hadn't eaten properly for several days. So I took my hunting rifle, trudged through the thick snow, and went hunting in the mountains. Before that, I had set traps in the old forest to catch pheasants and rabbits. I didn't expect that when I got to the place where I set the traps, I actually caught some prey. Can you guess what it was?"

"Hey buddy, why are you writing like Zi Meng You Long in a book, leaving a cliffhanger at the crucial moment? Hurry up, what did you catch?" Third Master Qiao urged hurriedly.

Wang Guodong continued, "I set a trap and caught a lynx. It was huge. Next to the lynx was a weasel that was barely alive, covered in blood. It was probably bitten by the lynx."

"What is a lynx?" Little Fatty asked curiously.

"A lynx is a wildcat. It looks like a cat, but it's much bigger. These things are very fierce and can hunt a wolf by themselves. When I saw the lynx that had been caught, I didn't hesitate and smashed it to death with a stick. When I saw the weasel that was injured, its little eyes were darting around as if it was begging me. I thought to myself, this is a weasel spirit. I saved its life, and maybe I can repay the favor in the future. So I put the weasel away and planned to take it home."

"Unexpectedly, I ran into trouble on my way back. A pack of wolves had their eyes on me... Those wolves seemed to have gone without food for a long time, their eyes were practically glowing green with malice. At the time, I didn't have many bullets left in my hunting rifle, and I couldn't possibly deal with so many wolves. The wolves were staring at me intently, which made me break out in a cold sweat. If they all rushed at me at once, I would definitely be dead. At the critical moment, I came up with a plan. I cut the lynx into eight pieces and threw the lynx's carcass on the road as I ran. That way, the wolves had food and stopped chasing me. By the time I had thrown away all the lynx's carcass pieces, I was almost home. I managed to save my life." Wang Guodong sighed.

"Good heavens, you finally managed to hunt down a lynx, but it all ended up being fed to the wolves, and your sister-in-law is still hungry. What are you going to do?" Third Master Qiao asked hurriedly.

“Who says otherwise? When I get home, all that’s left is that weasel…” Wang Guodong said.
