In addition, they also caught several roe deer and roe deer, which is their best result in the history of winter hunting.
With so many large wild animals in my hands, plus the rabbits and pheasants I caught in the evening, I could say I was almost too heavy to carry.
They gathered together and discussed, "What should we do? There's so much stuff; it'll be hard to carry it if we keep hunting!"
"We're having such good luck tonight, we can't give up!"
"That's right! We rarely have such good luck. There's no meat we can't lift! I could carry hundreds more pounds if you gave me that."
"Hahaha, I can do it too!"
Gu Tingzhi sat to one side, examining the gun in his hand. This kind of homemade gun was really difficult to use. For someone who was used to advanced weapons, holding this thing was really awkward.
"Stop arguing. We were lucky tonight, but we can't be greedy. We've already caught enough prey, and no one has been injured. This is the best outcome. The forest is dangerous at night. With so much prey, the smell of blood is too strong. If we attract a large beast, someone might get hurt."
Everyone felt a chill run down their spines, and their earlier impulsiveness subsided somewhat.
“Tingzhi is right, safety is the most important thing. That grizzly bear almost hurt everyone just now. If we encounter another one, no one can guarantee that no one will get hurt. We've had enough prey today, so how about... we stop here?”
After some deliberation, looking at the prey scattered on the ground, the group discussed the matter intensely for a while. In the end, the minority yielded to the majority and decided to stop there and take what they had gotten back first.
Gu Tingzhi stood up and said, "You guys go back first. I'll stay and walk around a bit more. I've been really lucky tonight. Let me see if I can get any more."
Everyone immediately objected, "No, Tingzhi, we know you're capable, but you also said that the forest at night is dangerous. It's a little better with so many of us together, how can you manage alone?"
"Yes, yes! This is already more than enough. Adding the stuff from the other teams, we'll have a prosperous year."
"Let's go back together. Even if you're lucky, you still have to live to enjoy it. We've all decided to go back as soon as possible before anyone gets hurt. We're worried about leaving you here alone!"
Fu Chaosheng was still thoroughly enjoying the hunt that night, and seeing that his boss was unwilling to go back, he immediately said, "I'll stay with the boss, I don't want to go back."
“I’ll stay too. The three of us should be fine,” Xu Jing continued.
The group looked at each other in bewilderment.
Gu Tingzhi looked at the second son of the captain and said, "I really don't want to go back. It's a rare opportunity to go hunting. There are so many prey here. We've come all this way. I even brought some dry food. I might as well stay in the mountains for a couple of days. I'm just a little worried about whether there will be any danger on your way back."
The second son of the Li family frowned, "You really aren't going back?"
Gu Tingzhi nodded, "Mm!"
The second son of the Li family had a bitter face. "If you don't go back, my dad will probably scold me to death."
Gu Tingzhi laughed and said, "It's alright. Anyway, you're his son, so he won't do anything to you."
Seeing that Gu Tingzhi had made up his mind, Li Lao Er knew that further persuasion would be useless. Tonight was indeed too exciting, with so much meat. Not to mention Gu Tingzhi, even he didn't really want to go back.
However, he couldn't act recklessly; there were still so many villagers here, and he couldn't take any risks.
"Well... it's up to you. But Fu and Xu can stay with you. You all know each other, so you can take care of each other. I'll lead everyone to take the game back. We've made quite a commotion along the way, so there might not be any large wild animals around. We'll get back as quickly as possible."
Gu Tingzhi nodded, "Alright, I'll leave it to you. Quickly lead everyone away, get more torches, and give them the guns."
The last sentence was said to Fu Chaosheng and Xu Jing.
There are five guns in total, and their team has four. Old Li has one, and if they give Fu Chaosheng and Xu Jing their guns, they'll be the strongest hunting team. With three more guns, they should be fine.
Everyone was startled. "No, no, you can't just bring one gun!"
"Yes, it's already dangerous enough. If you give us guns, wouldn't you be in even more danger?"
Gu Tingzhi said nonchalantly, "This gun isn't very useful to us. I'll keep this one, and leave two knives. Don't worry, we know what we're doing."
The others tried to persuade him a few more times, but Gu Tingzhi wouldn't listen. They had no choice but to listen to him.
After all, he's someone special; perhaps he really does have a way?
Finally, the second son of the Li family led everyone back, taking all the prey with them and leaving behind two machetes, one for Fu Chaosheng and one for Xu Jing.
Once everyone had walked away, Gu Tingzhi pulled out two pistols and tossed them to Fu Chaosheng and Xu Jing. The two men caught them, and their eyes lit up immediately!
Wow! Boss, you're amazing!
Xu Jing, touching his pistol, was incredibly excited. "No wonder they kept us here. Are they planning something big? Do they have enough bullets?"
Gu Tingzhi laughed and said, "Don't worry, it's enough. But be careful and don't fire indiscriminately."
Xu Jing grinned and said, "I understand, I understand!"
Fu Chaosheng was a man of few words, but his joy was evident. Who could resist a gun?
Without those people holding them back, the three of them moved much faster. Their luck tonight was truly incredible, so incredible that even Gu Tingzhi was somewhat surprised.
However, since his rebirth, he seems to have had very good luck.
The three of them crossed several more mountains and were now very far from the Banqiao Brigade. Along the way, they caught quite a lot of game, but they couldn't take it with them for the time being and had to find a place to hide it.
It was almost dawn. They had been traveling, hunting, and climbing mountains since yesterday afternoon, and by this time they were exhausted and were looking for a relatively safe place to rest for a while.
Gu Tingzhi led them on a search, gradually approaching a hidden valley.
Suddenly, Gu Tingzhi stopped and immediately crouched down, hiding behind the bushes.
"Crouch down and don't make a sound!"
Xu Jing and Fu Chaosheng were taken aback, and quickly squatted down as well.
"What's wrong, boss?"
Gu Ting raised his chin, gesturing for them to look over.
Xu Jing and Fu Chaosheng craned their necks to look.
No! What did you see?
Gu Tingzhi whispered, "Look closely at that valley!"
Upon closer inspection, Xu Jing and Fu Chaosheng noticed that, in the dim light of the night, some rather square shapes had appeared.
Xu Jing's eyes widened. "My God! This is... farmland?"
"Wait a minute, boss, how can there be farmland in these deep mountains and forests? Are there people living in these mountains?"
Fu Chaosheng added, "It seems there aren't many houses."
The night was still dark and they were quite far away, their vision was a bit blurry, but looking closely, they couldn't see many houses.
Xu Jing's expression also turned serious. "It really is. I only saw two or three."
Gu Tingzhi pointed to the direction beside him, "This is just the outer edge of the valley. Let's go over there and take a look. We should be able to see inside from there."
