You see, for people with children at home, the thing they fear most is their children getting a fever.

They had heard many stories of children getting brain damage from fevers, and they were afraid that their little ones might suffer the same fate.

According to the doctor, this is very likely to happen if a person is in a state of high fever for a long time.

That's why they went to great lengths to prevent their children from witnessing such scenes too early.

Seeing that Cao Qi's group was about to start, Captain Gu Chengde called to his men and led them towards the warehouse at the back.

He actually just wanted to sit on the steps behind and wait, and didn't want Shen Mu Ning to see the scene of red knives going in and white knives coming out.

In his heart, no matter how powerful Shen Mu Ning was, she was still just a little girl who needed protection.

Completely ignoring the fact that she had just killed a wild boar, they led her to the back to sit down.

Shen Mu Ning was unaware of his feelings, but she had been out all day and didn't want to stand there like an idiot.

After all, slaughtering the pig and dividing the meat later will take quite a bit of time.

She was the only girl present, so she sat right next to Chu Mingxu on the very edge.

After sitting down, she wanted to clear her mind.

Anyway, she was sitting on the very edge, so as long as Chu Mingxu didn't talk to her, she could avoid having to speak.

Before she could even pause for two minutes, she noticed a burning gaze fixed on her from her left.

Huh? Shen Mu Ning turned her head in confusion. It turned out that it was Cao Qi Di's father looking at her.

But I don't think I know him. Why is he staring at me like that?

The other four also noticed the old man and the child, who were staring at each other.

Gu Chengde, who had originally intended to watch the show from the sidelines, noticed that his elder brother Cao Ding remained silent.

Little Shen, the educated youth over there, probably doesn't know anyone and doesn't know what to say.

He even had to break the ice for them. "Little Shen, this is Cao Ding, the best hunter in our brigade."

Upon hearing this, Cao Ding quickly stopped him, saying, "That was before. Now, he's probably a young educated youth named Xiao Shen."

"Little Shen, I didn't mean anything by it, I was just curious. It seems you're quite skilled."

Cao Ding was strolling in the yard this afternoon when he heard someone tell him to send his son to kill a wild boar.

That person also said that the wild boar weighed 300 jin (150 kg), which is no small amount.

Even as an experienced hunter, he didn't have such an ability, even when he was in his prime.

He had to see for himself what kind of ruthless person could take down a wild boar of that size.

Cao Qi even tried to persuade him, saying that what if they had miscalculated and exaggerated the data?

However, Cao Qi couldn't dissuade him and still managed to help the person over.

As soon as he arrived at the drying ground, he went straight to the brigade leader to inquire about news.

He didn't know either, but someone said that two educated youths were dragging wild boars toward the threshing ground.

Later, he indeed saw what a wild boar weighing over 300 pounds looked like.

Good heavens, with that kind of physique, if they happen to encounter a lone one during their winter hunt, they can naturally take care of it with their superior numbers.

But now it was two young kids, two educated youths, who shot down this wild boar.

However, after examining the wounds on the wild boar closely, he realized that it wasn't the two people they had mentioned, but rather the two of them who had killed it.

The only feature of the wild boar is a dent on its head.

Although there were signs of a second blow to the vital area, it was clear that the fist mark was from a smaller fist.

Now that he had noticed the traces, he naturally knew that the wild boar had been killed by Shen Mu Ning.

The others weren't stupid either, and they naturally knew that Cao Ding's question meant that the wild boar was hunted by Shen Zhiqing.

Even the three of them, who were usually very knowledgeable, were inevitably dumbfounded at this moment.

They looked at Cao Ding with skeptical eyes, thinking he was playing a trick on them.

Shen Mu Ning observed the reactions of Gu Chengde and the other two and was about to deny it.

Cao Ding cut her off immediately, saying, "Little girl, don't be so quick to deny it. The fatal wound on the wild boar's head was caused by you alone."

Seeing how certain he was, she couldn't lie anymore, but she was very curious about how he had figured it out.

"Then, Uncle Cao, how did you figure it out?" Not only her, but even Chu Mingxu was curious.

Seeing that she no longer denied it, Cao Ding childishly gave Gu Chengde and the other two a smug smile.

They still dared to question themselves; now they've been proven wrong.

Cao Ding watched for a while, observing the thunderstruck expressions on the three faces, before turning to explain to her.

"Hey, the most important thing for a good hunter is to have a keen eye for observation."

"That way you can find the traces of prey in the forest, even in unexpected places."

"And based on these traces, we can quickly determine the species, size, and time elapsed of the prey."

"This way, you can avoid danger and have a bountiful harvest in the forest."

After listening to a lot of his explanation, Shen Mu Ning concluded that he had excellent eyesight and was very knowledgeable about the animals in the mountains.

So, "you figured it out just by looking at yourself?"

Cao Ding waved his hand dismissively, "How can you say that so casually? It's just that I'm very observant."

"I could tell at a glance that it was your fist, little brat. It's harder than the skull, that's why it killed it."

Shen Mu Ning felt embarrassed by his teasing gaze, but weren't they all saying the same thing?

“Senior, you have a wealth of experience in the field.” Unlike Shen Mu Ning, Chu Ming Xu had served in the military.

Moreover, the army he served in was special; it trained all-round talents to handle all kinds of difficult problems.

Having undergone wilderness training, he naturally knew that achieving what Cao Ding described was by no means a simple matter.

Otherwise, he would have passed on all his skills to Cao Qi long ago.

However, it's clear that Cao Qi isn't as formidable as he was in his youth.

Cao Ding also had a good impression of this educated youth, Chu, after all, he actively participated in production after coming to the brigade.

Moreover, he could tell that Chu Mingxu was a soldier who had been on the battlefield and seen blood.

Although he didn't know why he was there, he felt goodwill towards him just for that reason alone.

Now he is happy to answer his question: "Well, my father told me that our family has been hunters for generations."

“I used to live in Heilongjiang Province, which is backed by the Daan Mountains, and my life was quite comfortable.”

"But later, the Japanese invaded, and our hometown was constantly engulfed in war, so we had no choice but to flee."

"After settling down here, I continued to explore the forests while also learning to farm like others."

"I'm probably the most talented person in my family, so I'm considered to have some skills."

It wasn't that Cao Ding was exaggerating; his father had once said that he was the fastest and most skilled hunter in their family.

Although the environment had changed and the animals in the mountains were different, he developed his own methods for hunting and observation.

However, his son is dull-witted and has not yet inherited his skills.

Not to mention, the methods he summarized are also applicable to other scenarios, allowing for the rapid analysis of terrain and traces.
