Hand in hand, they walked on the morning dew, heading deep into the forest. Along the way, Chen Xiaoru chirped non-stop like a cheerful little bird.

"Xiao Lang, what kind of prey do you think we can catch today? Rabbit? Pheasant? Or... wild boar?" Chen Xiaoru asked with anticipation, blinking her big eyes.

"That depends on our luck," Xiao Lang said mysteriously, "but no matter what we catch, I'll make it into something delicious for you!"

"Yeah!" Chen Xiaoru nodded vigorously. "I believe you! You are the most powerful hunter!"

Xiao Lang was so delighted by her praise that he couldn't help but kiss her on the cheek: "You have such a sweet little mouth!"

Chen Xiaoru's cheeks flushed slightly. She smiled shyly, then excitedly pulled Xiao Lang forward and said, "Hurry up, let's go and see...!"

Before he could finish his words, there was a dull thud and a fat hare bumped headfirst into a big tree on the side of the road. Its eyes rolled back and it fainted.

Chen Xiaoru froze in place, her mouth wide open, speechless for a long time. Xiao Lang was also confused. What...what was going on? He had been a hunter for so many years, and he had never seen such a stupid rabbit!

"Xiao...Xiao Lang, do you think I have succeeded in...waiting for the rabbit to come to me?" Chen Xiaoru came back to her senses, pointed at the fainted rabbit, and asked stutteringly, her voice full of disbelief.

Xiao Lang was also stunned by the scene before him. He walked over, picked up the still unconscious rabbit, and weighed it. It weighed a full five or six pounds. He turned around and gave Chen Xiaoru a thumbs-up, saying with a hint of sarcasm, "My goodness, Xiaoru! Your luck is incredible! Looks like we won't have to work hard today and will return with a full load!"

Chen Xiaoru finally realized what was happening and immediately cheered: "Wow! Really? I'm so awesome! Xiao Lang, come and have a look, is this rabbit still alive?"

Xiao Lang put the rabbit on the ground and checked it carefully: "Don't worry, it's just knocked unconscious, it's okay. This silly rabbit must have been in a hurry to go home for dinner and didn't look at the road!" He pulled a vine and tied up the rabbit's legs in no time, and then put it in the backpack.

Chen Xiaoru covered her mouth with her hands and laughed secretly, her eyes curved into crescents: "Then shouldn't we thank it for coming to us so proactively?"

Xiao Lang smiled dotingly: "Now that we have the rabbit, should we go back or wait and see?"

"Let's take another look! Maybe there will be another silly rabbit!" Chen Xiaoru fantasized naively, with anticipation glittering in her big eyes.

"Let's go! Let's go and take a look ahead." Xiao Lang said, taking Chen Xiaoru's hand and continuing to walk towards the depths of the forest.

Not long after walking, Chen Xiaoru suddenly stopped. She pointed to a patch of grass in front of her and said mysteriously, "Xiao Lang, listen, there seems to be some movement over there!"

Xiao Lang listened carefully and heard a rustling sound in the grass. He made a gesture to keep quiet, then quietly parted the grass and saw a pheasant leisurely foraging there.

"Shh..." Chen Xiaoru held her breath nervously, staring at the pheasant with her big eyes, afraid that it would suddenly fly away.

Xiao Lang took out a bow and arrow from his backpack, aimed at the pheasant, and was about to shoot when suddenly, the pheasant seemed to sense danger and flapped its wings to fly away.

"Don't run!" Chen Xiaoru exclaimed and subconsciously rushed forward.

In a flash, the arrow in Xiao Lang's hand had already left the string and hit the pheasant's wing. The pheasant cried out and fell to the ground.

Chen Xiaoru quickly ran over, grabbed the pheasant by the neck, and shouted excitedly, "I caught it! I caught it!"

Xiao Lang walked over and looked at Chen Xiaoru's little face, which was flushed with excitement. He couldn't help laughing: "You are so brave, girl! You are not afraid of pheasants pecking you!"

"Hey, you're here!" Chen Xiaoru proudly raised the pheasant in her hand. "I'm so lucky today! First I picked up a rabbit, and now I've caught a pheasant! Xiao Lang, look, isn't this pheasant bigger than the rabbit just now?"

Xiao Lang took the pheasant, weighed it, and said with a smile, "Yes, this pheasant is really fat! It seems that we can really return with a full load today!"

"Then shall we continue moving forward?" Chen Xiaoru asked, seeming to be still reluctant to leave.

"No, we'll get lost if we go any further." Xiao Lang looked at the sky, "We should go back."

"Okay." Chen Xiaoru looked around reluctantly, "Then we'll come back next time!"

"Okay, let's come again next time." Xiao Lang nodded with a smile. He took Chen Xiaoru's hand and the two of them set out on their way home.

After just a few steps, Chen Xiaoru suddenly felt the ground begin to shake. She stopped in confusion and looked around. Xiao Lang also noticed something was wrong. He looked around vigilantly, his brow furrowed.

"Boom..." A dull roar came from not far away, as if some huge monster was approaching quickly.

Chen Xiaoru's face turned pale. She grabbed Xiao Lang's arm tightly, her voice trembling a little: "Xiao Lang, what's that sound?"

Xiao Lang's expression also became solemn. He vaguely guessed something, but was not sure.

At that moment, a gigantic beast suddenly rushed out from the woods. The two men took a closer look and gasped. It was a wild boar weighing over 400 kilograms! Its bristles stood up, its fangs flashed coldly, and it stared at them with a pair of bloodshot eyes, fiercely.

"Oh my God!" Chen Xiaoru screamed and almost fainted. She had never seen such a big wild boar in her life!

Xiao Lang's heart tightened. This big guy was not easy to deal with! He forced himself to remain calm and protected Chen Xiaoru behind him.

"Xiao Lang, I...are we...going to be...finished?" Chen Xiaoru's voice was filled with tears. She clutched the corner of Xiao Lang's clothes tightly, and her knuckles turned white.

"Don't be afraid, Xiaoru, find a place to hide quickly, I'll lead the wild boar away!" Xiao Lang said, taking out a bow and arrow from his backpack, ready to fight.

"No... No! It's too dangerous!" Chen Xiaoru hurriedly stopped him. She knew how powerful the wild boar was. How could Xiao Lang be its opponent alone?

But it was too late. The wild boar seemed to be enraged. It growled, and its four hooves flew, rushing towards the two men like a heavy chariot!

"Get out of the way!" Xiao Lang shouted and pushed Chen Xiaoru away with force, but he staggered forward a few steps due to inertia and was about to be pierced by the wild boar's sharp fangs!

Chen Xiaoru was pushed to the ground, her eyes wide with fear. She could even smell the nauseating stench of the wild boar. It was over! Xiao Lang was going to be killed by the wild boar!
