Returning to 84, hunting for wealth, one person feeding three families.

Early the next morning.

Li Yan and Tian Cong then went to their door as agreed.

"Ye Chen, I've prepared everything you asked me to. When are we leaving?"

Tian Cong stood in the courtyard and shouted for a while before Ye Chen appeared, looking sleepy.

Last night, three women left.

Ye Chen suffered for half the night.

"You three, take good care of the house. I'm going into the mountains this time and it might take two days. Be careful."

Ye Chen shouted towards the side room, but was met with Luo Ling's curses in return.

"Get out of here, it'd be better if you died in the old forest!"

Ye Chen shrank back and walked out of the courtyard in a disheveled state.

As soon as we stepped out of the intersection, Tian Cong came up to us.

"Ye Chen, what happened...? You didn't perform well last night?"

"I told you long ago, that old doctor is very effective. Shall I take you to see him this time I'm back?"

"You should worry about yourself!" Ye Chen rolled his eyes in annoyance.

"If you're really bursting with energy, Widow Wang from the east end of the village would be a good match for you; she has big hips, which is good for childbearing."

"I'll help you propose this time you're back, so you won't have to gossip!"

Wang, the widow at the east end of the village, is almost sixty years old today, Tian Cong said with a sneer.

The two were bickering, while Li Yan, standing to the side, looked completely innocent.

"Brother Ye Chen, Brother Tian Cong, what are you two saying?"

"Don't pry, kid!" Tian Cong waved his hand dismissively. "When will you find a wife for your dad? Then you'll know what we're talking about!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Tian Cong glanced at the flatbed cart in his hand and complained.

"By the way, Ye Chen, weren't we supposed to be going deep into the old forest this time?"

"Why are you dragging a flatbed cart and pulling so many thick hemp ropes all this way, traversing mountains and rivers?"

In Tian Cong's opinion, this thing was simply a burden.

Ye Chen then said mysteriously, "Just listen to me. We'll go through some trouble to bring these things along. You'll see how useful they are when we get there!"

As they were talking, the three of them had already disappeared into the old forest.

Ye Chen added, "Be careful later, and follow me!"

After saying that, he led the way towards the old forest.

……

The three of them spent the next day walking through the forest.

Li Yan was a seasoned hunter, but he still couldn't help but sigh along the way.

"Every time my dad and I went into the forest before, we were always very careful, and we still encountered a lot of risks along the way."

"Brother Ye Chen, you're amazing! We followed you non-stop for a whole day, and we didn't encounter a single disturbance!"

What may seem like a simple change actually contains a wealth of experience!

Ye Chen had probably gone into the mountains more times in his previous life than Li Yan had eaten rice. These routes were all summaries of his experience over time.

It may seem ordinary, but it contains profound knowledge.

Ye Chen knew perfectly well where the thorns and snakes lay hidden.

Seemingly aimless, it actually eliminates all dangers.

"No matter what you see or hear during this trip into the mountains, don't say a word about it after you leave!"

To prevent trouble, Ye Chen gave instructions.

Then, after looking up at the sky, he began to make arrangements.

"It's getting dark soon. Let's rest up ahead for today. After crossing one more mountain, there's a river. We'll set up camp on the bank. You guys find some dry firewood. As long as there's a fire, those beasts won't dare to cause trouble."

Under Ye Chen's instructions, the night passed peacefully.

The next day, the two followed Ye Chen for most of the day and finally arrived at their destination before sunset.

Li Yan straightened up and looked around. Not far away, a mountain looked as if it had been split in two.

A canyon cuts through the middle, stretching all the way.

I don't know how deep it is.

"This place is called Savage Valley. Let's get some rest tonight and conserve our energy. Tomorrow will be harvest time!"

Ye Chen said in a deep voice, but this statement made Tian Cong frown.

"Seriously, Ye Chen, did we really have to go this far?"

"I've heard people say that hunting is all about luck, right? Can you guarantee there'll be prey here?"

Facts speak louder than words, and Ye Chen was too lazy to waste any more time.

To boost morale, he immediately told everyone to leave their belongings where they were, and then, carrying the two men, he led them up the cliff.

Soon, they ventured deep into the canyon.

Looking down from above, the canyon is filled with low trees.

Li Yan took out his family's heirloom binoculars, and after just one glance, he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Wild boars! The entire valley is teeming with wild boars; at least a dozen of them!"

"Brother Ye Chen, you're amazing! This valley is a natural hunting ground, absolutely a place of excellent feng shui!"

"Is it really that amazing? Let me see!" Tian Cong snatched the binoculars.

After scanning the area, he immediately turned around and reached out to grab Ye Chen's face.

"Brother, let me see, has he opened his third eye?"

"Last time I followed you, we caught thousands of pounds of fish, and this time it's so many wild boars. Are you some kind of deity descended to earth, capable of divination or something?"

"Alright, enough with the talk. There are only three of us this time. How much we gain depends entirely on our performance tomorrow."

Ye Chen slapped Tian Cong's hand away impatiently, and then analyzed the situation.

"This valley is shaped like a gourd, narrow on the outside and wide on the inside. As long as we block the exit, the wild boars will be startled by the gunshots and will surely walk right into our trap!"

"This afternoon, we'll set up tripwires at the canyon entrance; the ropes we brought will come in handy!"

"Brother Tian Cong, tomorrow you and Li Yan take your hunting rifles and keep watch at the mouth of the canyon. As soon as you see a wild boar approaching, immediately pull the tripwire!"

This time, Tian Cong prepared extra-thick hemp rope, the quality of which was almost as good as steel cable!

Wild boars are enormous, and when they sprint, they can reach speeds of up to 40 kilometers per hour, just like heavy tanks!

With such a huge impact, anyone tripped by the tripwire would be in serious trouble.

He might not die on the spot, but a broken leg and fractured bone would definitely be his fate!

"You two, time your attack carefully. Whoever is more seriously injured, rush in and finish them off!"

"Remember, if you encounter any aggressive ones, try not to provoke them. We can't possibly hunt all these wild boars, so let's pick on the weaker ones!"

"Whatever the price of wild boar meat is, that's all just hype. The real gain is when you actually make money."

"Don't worry, Brother Ye Chen, my dad told me to listen to you. I'll do whatever you say!"

Li Yan nodded in agreement, but didn't forget to press Ye Chen for more information.

"By the way, Brother Ye Chen, the two of us are guarding the valley entrance, what about you?"

"Me? I'll naturally be in charge of firing the gun!"

Ye Chen reached out and removed the gun case, then took out the semi-automatic rifle in front of the two men.

Wiping it with a handkerchief, the rifle's barrel gleamed coldly!

"This is the real highlight of this hunt! The valley is so big; with this powerful weapon, those wild boars are easy targets!"

"These days, regulations are strict, and this gun can't be exposed to the light of day. I made this deal out of nothing, and then I handed it over."

"I really need to do my best tomorrow and make a fortune first!"
