"Grandpa Wu, I agree with what you said. Even if they learn to hunt, they won't give you the money from selling their prey. If they get hurt, they'll definitely blame you for not protecting them."
"I think they just want to take advantage on purpose. They don't want to pay, but still want to get benefits from others for free. I hate people like this the most." Yun Yiyi said angrily.
"Yiyi, don't be so angry. My family has always been hunters, and we have encountered too many people who want to take advantage. We have just ignored them." Old man Wu touched Yun Yiyi's hair comfortingly.
"Grandpa Wu, do you really not take outsiders hunting?" Yun Yiyi was quite curious about this.
"Brother Wu, I'm also quite curious about this. I have never seen any hunter taking outsiders into the mountains to hunt. Do you hunters have a rule that forbids you from taking outsiders hunting?" Yun the Butcher couldn't help but ask.
"Haha, hunters don't have this rule. I don't know about others, but in the rules passed down in my family, there's no rule about not bringing outsiders into the mountains."
Old Man Wu explained with a smile.
"Actually, it's not that we don't want to bring outsiders. It's mainly because we have no choice. On the one hand, hunting is something that must be learned from a young age. For example, when I was little, I often followed my father and grandfather into the mountains to hunt. My father and grandfather would teach me whenever it was convenient for me."
"There's so much to learn, and it's definitely not something you can learn in a day or two. Often, my dad would teach me, but when I tried to practice, I couldn't catch any prey. So what would he do? He would then look for the reason again, and I would learn from him."
"It's very easy to get into trouble if you only have a half-baked skill when you go into the mountains. So, learning more and practicing more are both essential."
Old Man Wu shook his head and continued speaking.
Yun Yiyi and Yun the Butcher were listening attentively.
"On the other hand, if we want to hunt valuable prey, we have to go deep into the mountains. There are many dangers and opportunities in the mountains. If we encounter danger, outsiders generally don't care about us and just run away."
"If we kill valuable prey and there are outsiders around, it will be easy for the money to be divided unevenly. Even if we give them more, they will still feel it is not enough." Old Man Wu said helplessly.
"Brother Wu, there are too many problems caused by uneven distribution of money. It's a good thing that you can eliminate this problem fundamentally." Yun the Butcher said in agreement.
"When I opened a shop in town, I came across a shop run by a partnership. If the shop wasn't making money, the two partners would quarrel, but they wouldn't break up easily."
"But if they make a lot of money, there are too many cases where they break up because of unequal distribution. Both of them think they have done more and deserve the biggest share. Even brothers can't stand this kind of situation."
"Dad, Grandpa Wu, I know this. There's a saying that goes, brothers should settle accounts clearly. It tells us that even if we are brothers, we must divide the money clearly. If the money is not clear, I guess there is no point in being brothers." Yun Yiyi said proudly.
"Brother Yun, your Yiyi is an amazing child. She even understands this. I think your Yiyi will have a great future." Old man Wu praised sincerely.
"Brother Wu, you are exaggerating. However, my Yiyi is indeed the smartest, most intelligent and most filial child among all the children in my family." Yun the Butcher said happily.
"Brother Yun, you are so lucky. I see that your children are all filial and obedient."
"Brother Wu, we are all the same. Your children are capable and filial to their parents." Yun the Butcher also praised sincerely.
When Old Man Wu heard what Butcher Yun said, a smile immediately appeared on his face, and the corners of his mouth kept turning up.
In the eyes of parents, their own children are the best children. I guess all parents in the world think this way.
"So, my family doesn't accept apprentices in the village. I always take my children into the mountains. This way, I can save worry and it's safer. My third child is the smartest one among my children. It's such a pity for him." Old man Wu said with a choked voice.
"Grandpa Wu, don't be sad. If Uncle Wu is still alive, he would definitely hope that you live well. In this world, it's not just parents who want their children to be happy. Children also hope that their parents can live happily." Yun Yiyi comforted Old Man Wu warmly.
"Yes, Brother Wu. What Yiyi said makes sense. I remember when my parents were older, I also hoped they would be healthy and free from disasters."
Old man Wu wiped his tears and sighed deeply.
"Don't worry, I just feel a little sad when I think of the third brother. In the future, I will try to think less about him. After all, life has to go on." Old man Wu sighed deeply again.
"Grandpa Wu, do you think I can go hunting in the mountains with you in the future?" Yun Yiyi tried her best to divert Old Man Wu's attention.
Yun Yiyi also felt that Old Man Wu was too miserable. He had to die young at the age of old. This kind of pain was something that most people could not bear.
"Yiyi, you are too young. I can't take you to the mountain." Old man Wu refused seriously.
"Grandpa Wu, you underestimate me. I can really follow you into the mountains to hunt." Yun Yiyi emphasized stubbornly.
Old Man Wu looked at Butcher Yun in confusion. Butcher Yun smiled at Old Man Wu.
"Brother Wu, let me tell you, it is really possible for Yiyi to go into the mountains with you to hunt. Brother Wu, I'm not joking, I'm serious." Yun the Butcher said very seriously.
The more Old Man Wu listened, the more confused he became. Strange things happen every year, and today he encountered one too.
Normally, no one would want to take a child of several years old into the mountains to hunt. If they encountered a wolf or a tiger, the child wouldn't be able to run away. They would simply be providing food for the wolves and tigers.
Yun the Butcher and Yun Yiyi saw the puzzled look in Old Man Wu's eyes. They looked at each other and laughed secretly again.
Hearing the laughter of Yun the Butcher and Yun Yiyi, Old Man Wu became even more puzzled. Could it be that I was wrong to take a child into the mountains? No, that child wouldn't be able to keep up with the group. She would simply be delivering food to the big prey.
Butcher Yun couldn't bear to see Old Man Wu continue to wonder, so he explained his doubts to him.
"Brother Wu, my Yiyi has practiced the trick of coming back to attack with her master, and she is very good at it. She will definitely not be a burden if she follows you into the mountains to hunt. Maybe she can even be of great help." Yun the Butcher said in a low voice.
"Brother Yun, you are not kidding, right? Your Yiyi is not that old." Old man Wu was even more confused.
