They walked out of the woods and returned to the house where the collective household was located.

It was already past seven in the morning when Guo Yongping and Sun Yunpeng arrived with their men to work and hand over their shifts.

Neither of the two groups managed to catch a badger, and everyone wanted to know if Sheng Xiping's group had any luck last night.

"Hey? Where is everyone? I can't see anyone."

Could it be that you didn't catch a badger last night and are too embarrassed to show your face?

You guys keep bragging about how amazing Sheng Xiping is, but I don't think he's all that great.

Even the guards aren't here. They probably didn't catch the badger, were too embarrassed to hand over their shift, and went straight home.

Du Jiabin couldn't come to work because his face was smeared with gunpowder, but among the educated youth in Songjianghe, there were quite a few who were good-natured and had sharp tongues.

When these people didn't see Sheng Xiping and his group around Hou Dadi, they started saying unkind things.

Guo Yongping and the others were displeased upon hearing this, but since they hadn't seen Sheng Xiping and his group, they were unsure of themselves and didn't dare to refute them.

There was nothing I could do but suppress my anger.

"Hey, isn't that Xiping and his group?" Someone with sharp eyes spotted Sheng Xiping and his group coming from the north end.

"What are they holding? Holy crap, it's a badger! Xi Ping and his crew caught a badger!"

As the group drew closer, the people on the other side realized that Sheng Xiping and his group of about ten people were carrying something in their hands, which looked like badgers.

"Holy crap, how many did they catch? My god, did they wipe out the entire badger den?"

After they saw it clearly, they exclaimed in surprise again.
