Chapter 192. Hunting
Gu Kaiyuan flipped over and jumped down from the top of the cave. With a backhand, he took down a nearby wild boar. When the other wild boars pounced, he leaped onto a tree to the side.

The remaining two large wild boars, along with the two injured ones, did not let him go. Instead, they angrily began to ram the tree.

Gu Kaiyuan gripped the swaying tree trunk with one hand and held the knife in the other. Suddenly, he exerted force and stabbed the knife into the back of the previously injured wild boar. As the wild boar cried out in pain, it thrashed about and moved away from the tree.

Gu Kaiyuan curled his lip. Liu Pingkang and the others' knives were good, but still not sharp enough.

He took out the small dagger he always carried with him and descended at an extremely fast speed as a wild boar charged at him, the dagger plunging right into its head.

The remaining two wild boars, still spitting fire, were enraged. They didn't consider their dangerous situation at all; they just wanted to kill the two-legged beasts in front of them.

Just as they were about to collide, Gu Kaiyuan leaped away, leaving his original spot and returning to the tree. The two wild boars didn't have time to stop their momentum and collided head-on.

Just as they were still confused about the situation, Gu Kaiyuan solved their problems.

The wild boar that had been stabbed in the abdomen earlier was now staggering and trying to charge at him. Gu Kaiyuan clicked his tongue and shook his head. With a leap, he pulled out the knife and relieved the boar's pain.

The little wild boars were completely confused about the situation. Some of them were even nudging the fallen wild boars with their snouts. Gu Kaiyuan ignored them. There wasn't enough meat for these few boars, so he let them fend for themselves.

He whistled in the direction they came from so that Lin Wei and the others would know which way to go, and then dragged the wild boars together.

This is a large family, with six wild boars, both male and female, weighing over 1000 jin (500 kg) in total. It looks like a lot, but there are quite a few of them as well. After removing the skin and internal organs, it should be enough to eat for several days.

There is a water source where they just rested, and it would be best to drag these wild boars back before dealing with them.

Although he only encountered this family of wild boars in this mountain forest in his previous life, he didn't dare to confront them because he was injured. He collected the Ganoderma lucidum, killed two pheasants, caught a few rabbits, and went back.

Lin Hua and his group arrived quickly. They had been very nervous since they lost sight of Gu Kaiyuan. The snow was falling heavier and heavier and would soon cover up all traces.

Hearing the whistle, they forgot about blocking the remaining rabbits and grabbed the four rabbits they had just caught, then ran towards the direction of the sound.

Before the people even arrived, they could smell the pungent stench of blood, and even Yunni, who had been calm before, changed his expression.

No way? Gu Kaiyuan is so lucky, he actually ran into a big prey?

This place isn't far from the foot of the mountain, so logically it shouldn't be like this.

But it's snowing now, who knows if some wild animal from the mountains has wandered off to the wrong place? Or maybe it's run into the king of the mountains looking for food.

"Young Master," Lin Huaren's voice arrived before he did, startling the birds in the forest and echoing through the mountains.

"I'm here," Gu Kaiyuan said as he jumped down from the tree. It was too cold standing in the snow, and although he could bear it, there was no need to make things harder for himself.

"Are you alright?" Lin Hua and Lin Wei followed the sound and immediately surrounded Gu Kaiyuan when they saw him.

"What could possibly happen to me? But we're lucky this time; we managed to get some meat for everyone. Since it's still early, let's hurry back and pack it up. Maybe we brothers can even have a drink tonight."

The brothers brought by Yunni stared wide-eyed at the sight of the wild boars. They thought, "Master Gu is too amazing. He can kill so many wild boars all by himself. If he has such skills, why does he need to ask them to protect him?"

Yunni went over to examine the wild boars' wounds, then gave Gu Kaiyuan a thumbs up, "You're really amazing. Let's learn from you later."

"No problem, no problem," Gu Kaiyuan replied, cupping his hands in greeting. "It's just that I'll need the brothers' help to take these down." "With meat to eat, why wouldn't they be willing to do it?" Yun Ni said, and the brothers behind him began to express their opinions one after another.

“Leave these to us, Master Gu. The meat is practically in our mouths. If we don’t work hard, it’ll be our fault.”

"Exactly, if there's meat to eat, I'd carry a whole pig down there by myself."

As soon as he finished speaking, the space next to him immediately became empty. This pig weighs two or three hundred pounds; he really made such a boast.

The man realized his slip of the tongue and chuckled dryly, "Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue, I meant to delay."

"whispering sound……"

"Alright, brothers, stop fooling around here. The smell of blood is too strong. Let's get out of here." Yunni walked over and kicked away the little wild boars that were surrounding them, clicking his tongue as he said, "You guys are too young. I won't take you this time."

"Stay here and grow up properly; who knows, when the brothers come back, they might take it out on you."

Gu Kaiyuan smiled and shook his head. Well, now these people have marked the cave. From now on, it's up to these little wild boars to decide their own fate.

"Brother Yun really has a good idea," someone immediately praised. "I believe that after raising them for a few more months, these little wild boars will be almost ready."

Amidst laughter and conversation, without needing any assignments, they dragged a pig's leg down the mountain, some with one person on one leg, others with two people on one leg.

Gu Kaiyuan, on the other hand, was able to relax and slowly walked behind.

On the way down the mountain, he didn't forget to hunt two pheasants for Bai Suihe to make soup.

This group caused quite a commotion; as soon as they reached the foot of the mountain, a large crowd gathered around them.

Hearing that the wild boar was meant to be an extra meal for everyone, all the guards from the two escort agencies who had stayed behind to watch the carriages gathered around.

The saying "many hands make light work" was also demonstrated here. Just as Gu Kaiyuan and his group finished stewing the pheasant, the wild boars were also prepared.

Bringing a pot of chicken soup and some fine wine, Gu Kaiyuan and two镖头 (bodyguards) found Liu Pingkang.

Liu Pingkang didn't have many fuss over things; he just put up a piece of oilcloth by the fire to keep out the rain and snow, but the wind still got in from all sides.

"You've really worked hard today, Brother Gu." Hearing that Gu Kaiyuan had hunted all the wild boars by himself, Liu Pingkang felt that Gu Kaiyuan was even more unfathomable.

I don't understand why Master Gu doesn't like such an outstanding son.
“It was just a fluke,” Gu Kaiyuan said, placing the chicken soup on the pile of charcoal that had just been cleared out. “We have to thank Lord Liu for taking care of us.”

As they chatted and laughed, it felt as if the distance between them had narrowed a bit.

As for the news that he had hunted so many wild boars, he didn't think he could keep it a secret at all. Maybe the Gu family already knew, but what could they do even if they did?

……

Gu Baijiang was also pondering this question. He didn't remember hiring a martial arts master for Gu Kaiyuan. How did he manage to do that?
