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

That evening.

In the balding house, a bonfire was lit in the courtyard.

The balding man took out his dried deer leg and roasted it over a fire.

He even raised his glass to welcome him, saying, "I'm so lucky to have met Brother Ye. Brother Ye, there aren't many people in my family, so you can stay as long as you like."

"You're balding. Your master has been settled, but he's getting old. Even if his leg heals, whether he'll be able to go into the mountains is another matter."

Ye Chen tore off a piece of meat and, while eating, beckoned, "What are you going to do next? Have you ever thought about making money with someone?"

"Brother Ye, I understand the principle of sticking together for warmth, but you can't judge a book by its cover. Who knows if someone is a human or a ghost once they enter the forest?" The balding man frowned.

Ye Chen laid his cards on the table: "We've met before, and it just so happens that I'll be staying here for a while."

"How about you work with us for a while?"

"You can consider it; I promise you won't be treated unfairly!"

Ye Chen and his two companions were newcomers to the area. Even though Ye Chen was very familiar with Cat Village, he was still a stranger to the locals.

Some things are best handled by the locals.

Ye Chen then extended an olive branch, hoping to recruit bald men!

"This..." The balding man frowned, pondered for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement.

"Brother Ye, you helped me a lot this time and even gave me such a large sum of money. I can tell you're not a stingy person."

"You have principles, you're not just after money, so I'll follow you from now on!"

"Haha, great!"

Ye Chen nodded immediately and made the arrangements.

"Since you've agreed, then get some rest. We'll continue into the mountains tomorrow. This time, Jiali will stay behind to look after the house, and the rest of you will come with me. We'll do a big deal together!"

……

The next morning, led by Ye Chen, the group of four entered the old forest.

But no one noticed that just as the four figures disappeared, a dark shadow suddenly returned.

This person was arranged by Boss Zheng, and now, seeing himself about to go bald and leave home, he immediately sensed an opportunity.

I'm going to sneak into the yard and find the money that Boss Zheng took out yesterday!

Half an hour later, a burly man named Haitao arrived at the eaves outside the bald man's house with two henchmen.

"You two hold me up while I climb in, then I'll open the door for you!"

"Remember, be careful with your movements, don't attract attention. Also, wear gloves while you're working, don't leave any evidence!"

Hai Tao gave some instructions, then stepped on the shoulders of the two men and leaped over the wall.

thump……

Hai Tao had just landed and stood up to help his two men when, unexpectedly, a cry of surprise came from the courtyard.

"What are you doing?"

Looking back, I saw Qian Jiali with a terrified expression. As she spoke, she showed fear and hurriedly ran into the room.

"Damn it, there are still people here?"

Hai Tao frowned and cursed, afraid that the woman would scream, and he couldn't care less about his two brothers. He hurriedly chased after her into the room!

"I'm a balding friend, not a bad person."

While patiently explaining, Hai Tao took out a dagger and pried open the door bolt.

Just as I stepped over the threshold, I suddenly stopped.

Qian Jiali was holding a hunting rifle in her hand. Although her body was trembling, the dark muzzle of the gun was already aimed at Haitao!

"Sister, don't do anything reckless! Guns aren't for women; you might hurt yourself!"

Seeing Qian Jiali trembling all over, Haitao did not take the threat before him seriously.

She's just a woman, and she doesn't even seem to know how to handle a gun. I've been in this business for years, what's there to be afraid of!

As he spoke, Haitao took two steps forward, reached out and grabbed the shotgun, trying to snatch it away.

"Bang……"

But Haitao didn't expect that a gunshot would suddenly echo in his ears, followed by a sharp pain in his thigh!

"what……"

Hai Tao instinctively cried out in alarm and collapsed to the ground.

The intense pain rendered him completely powerless to resist, and he could only watch helplessly as Qian Jiali mustered her courage and bound him with rope.

……

In another mountain forest.

Ye Chen and his three companions were covered in thick hemp ropes. Li Yan looked puzzled and asked.

"Brother Ye Chen, aren't we afraid of encountering danger going into the mountains? We're only carrying one gun and so many ropes. If we run into trouble, it'll be difficult to escape!"

"Don't worry, I'm taking you to a good place this time, and we won't need guns!"

Ye Chen explained that he already had a plan in mind.

This time he was prepared to make a killing, earn a fortune, and then head home!

In Ye Chen's memory, his greatest opportunity came in Changbai Mountain, when he had just learned some skills from his master.

Unfortunately, after entering the mountains, they encountered a snowstorm and completely lost their way.

Fortunately, Ye Chen encountered a deer, fought with all his might to kill it, then cut open the deer's belly and shrunk inside.

That's how they managed to survive the storm all night!

When it dawned the next day, Ye Chen realized that he had arrived in an unfamiliar place.

This is a magical valley, and as you look around, you can see many wild deer gathering here!

Like the Savage Valley, the only passage is a narrow exit in the distance.

It's practically a paradise for hunting wild deer!

Later, after some searching, Ye Chen finally found the way back. After returning, he and his master captured the entire deer herd.

Ye Chen made his first fortune thanks to this opportunity.

Now that I've returned to Mount Taibai, I certainly won't let this opportunity slip by!

However, Ye Chen did not plan to hunt the deer this time, since there were only four of them. How would they transport the deer carcasses back?

Besides, if too many people are invited, everyone will have to take a share.

Just like in my previous life, even if a large sum of money is divided among me, it's still just a pittance.

Ye Chen had already made up his mind that, apart from the fur and flesh, the most valuable part of a deer was its antlers.

A good pair of deer antlers accounts for half the value of a deer!

The four men set a trap with ropes, tied up the deer, took only the antlers, and then released the wild deer back into the wild!

In this way, one can make a fortune while ensuring that resources are not destroyed.

Perhaps in a few years, we can come back and harvest again!

It's a virtuous cycle!

"Keep up the good work! That place is quite a distance away, and we must get there before dark. We also need to hurry and prepare firewood. Time is of the essence, and we can't afford to delay even a little!"

Thinking of his own plan, Ye Chen immediately spoke up to remind him.

Seeing Ye Chen's confidence, the remaining three were full of energy!

Li Yan and Tian Cong, in particular, were as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

Since following Ye Chen, they have gained something every time they go into the mountains, and the two of them have long been used to it.

Deep down, he was already looking forward to how much money he could make from this big deal that Ye Chen had mentioned.
