Chapter 70 The Source of Express Delivery in the Mountains

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xingwang stopped, turned around and saw two men appear not far from him.

One of them was an old man, probably in his fifties, and he was wearing clothes that looked like a hunter.

He still held a spear in his hand, but he didn't point it at him. Another young man, probably less than 30 years old, dressed like an ordinary villager. But he carried a bow and arrow, and he must have said what he said just now.

Zhang Xingwang saw this and thought they had no ill intentions, otherwise they would have pointed their guns at him, so he slowly said:

"You can just not move, but what else do you want to do?"

"What are you doing here?".

"I'm here to hunt."

Just as he finished speaking, a woman walked out from behind him, which scared Zhang Xingwang so much that he almost fired a volley of bullets.

Judging from her age and dress, she should be the man’s wife or sister.

He glanced at Zhang Xingwang, smiled and said to the two of them:

"This guy is alone. He's probably out for fun."

After hearing this, the two of them came up to Zhang Xingwang and looked at him carefully.

Zhang Xingwang was extremely nervous at the moment, silently calculating the positions of the three people and the direction of the bullets.

After chatting for a while with some reservation, it was obvious that the three of them were very curious about Zhang Xingwang. They were probably curious about why he went into the mountains.

From the way Zhang Xingwang was dressed, they knew he was a city dweller. His first reaction was not to search his pockets or take out any weapons, and he did not seem to be wary at all.

I gradually let down my guard and asked him curiously how he got here. Then I learned that he had spent the night by the creek and praised him for his good fortune.

It turned out that the campfire by the stream was left by them. After chatting for a few words, the three of them parted ways with him.

There was no murder and robbery scene as shown in the novel. Zhang Xingwang felt that these three people must be villagers from nearby. Judging from their faces, they should be living an ordinary life. The man and the woman should be a couple.

I guess he took advantage of the slack season to go hunting to improve his life.

And seeing that he had nothing in his hands and hadn't caught any prey, he had no bad intentions. But what he was thinking, only they themselves knew.

Judging from the bloodstains on the old man's clothes, they must have hunted down their prey. They probably hid after seeing him. It seems like they are professionals.

However, Zhang Xingwang was also very nervous at that time, if he hadn't seen that the old man's gun was not pointed at him.

I guess he would have used space to shoot the bullet at the first moment, but the outcome would most likely be that he would be killed by the woman behind him or they would die together.

Zhang Xingwang believed that the woman behind him must have weapons on her, but they were not visible, and he didn't notice her at all.

Fortunately, it was just a false alarm. If we had met him carrying a roe deer like last time, the outcome would have been unpredictable.

While thinking, he walked back quickly. Before he had gone far, he heard shouting again from behind. Zhang Xingwang stopped and looked back. The old man was not there. The couple was waving at each other not far away.

Zhang Xingwang thought that if the other party had a gun and it was disadvantageous to him, there was no need to say anything, so he stopped and waited to see what the other party wanted to do.

The speed at which the couple advanced in the mountains was completely beyond Zhang Xingwang's reach. It seemed that they were veterans.

Soon he came in front of him. The man took a look at his clothes with hidden eyes and said tentatively:

"We hunted a wild sheep, do you want one?"

"Why do you ask?"

"Looking at your clothes, you don't look like someone who digs for food in the dirt. We found a shed. Did you build it?"

"Yes".

After talking for a long time, Zhang Xingwang finally understood why they called him again. It was mainly because they saw that he had fair skin and tender flesh, and his clothes were mostly new, without even a patch on them.

After seeing the shed, I thought about how he took the trouble to build a shed when he went into the mountains, and thought he was a rich young man from the city, so I wondered if I could sell the prey to him for money.

Zhang Xingwang was still puzzled, but finally learned that the animals they brought back were divided among the villagers, and that the villagers also tacitly agreed for them to go out hunting, after all, they had the skill.

But the households in a village are close to each other, so if they secretly bring the goods back, they can't hide them at all. Once everyone sees their family members secretly going out, they can roughly understand what is going on.

So many eyes are watching, hoping to catch up and have a bite of delicious food. Even when I go to bed at night, there are people looking at my door from time to time.

I tried to hide two rabbits before, but because I was afraid of being discovered, I hid them in a covert place. As a result, not only did I not have the chance to eat them, but when I finally had the chance, I found that they had already been eaten by wild dogs.

The most they could do was to eat something in the mountains and no one would know about it, but they would still starve when they returned. There was no other way; hunting was an inherited skill from their ancestors, so they were helpless when doing farm work.

The sturdy-looking man had never done any farm work since he was a child and could not even earn ten work points a day.

Their days were spent eating so much meat in the mountains that they were stuffed to death, and then returning home starving to death.

Looking at Zhang Xingwang, he wondered if he could sell it to him for money, at least he could put some money in his pocket. After all, no one would be happy if he gave away the prey he had worked so hard to hunt to the villagers.

When Zhang Xingwang heard this, he thought it was a chance to make trouble, and he accidentally covered up the lie he had told.

And through this wild boar hunting experience, he also understood that his hunting was always just an entry-level one, with just enough room for bugs.

It's okay to come here occasionally or twice, but it's very easy to get injured if you do it too often. After all, there are too many dangerous places in the mountains.

This was like a dream meeting a pillow. The two hit it off immediately, but Zhang Xingwang said he had no money in his pocket and had to wait until he returned to the village. The other party readily agreed.

Originally, the couple was just trying it out, because basically no one would sell prey in the mountains, and they couldn't take it back even if they bought it.

Once it is brought down the mountain and seen by the villagers, it will belong to the village and cannot be transported out as the risk is too great.

However, Zhang Xingwang did not have this concern, thinking that this was the way to make money using space.

Just be a full-time transporter and express delivery person. There is no danger at all. You can earn money by running around. It is much easier.

The couple looked at Zhang Xingwang and nodded without saying a word, and were stunned for a long time.

I was thinking of giving it a try. It seems that I have met the God of Wealth. They looked at each other and asked cautiously:

"Do you want all of them?"

"I want both, but I have to go down the mountain to pay for them. How much do you plan to sell them for?"

"How much can you give? We haven't sold anything in a long time."

The poor man, after he finished speaking in a hurry, received a killing look from his wife. It seemed that this couple really hadn't sold prey for a long time, and they were more anxious than him.

Looking at the fierce man, it turns out that he is also afraid of his wife.

Suddenly, the old man's voice came from the right rear:

"How much do you think you can offer? If it's a whole one, we can sell it to you at a cheaper price."

Zhang Xingwang shuddered again, and the bullets in the space almost flew over. He looked carefully.

He let out a long sigh. It seemed that the old man had been hiding well. If he hadn't seen that the man was not good at talking, he probably wouldn't have come out. He was probably broken down by the words "I haven't sold it for a long time".
