As all was quiet, it was exactly midnight.
Those who were tossing and turning in bed unable to sleep have already drifted off to sleep.
At this moment, the door to Chu Mingxu and Zhang Jiayang's room opened silently.
"Brother Xu, let's go now." Zhang Jiayang tiptoed over the wall and left the educated youth settlement like a thief.
Chu Mingxu, who was following behind him, was calm and composed, showing no signs of being someone who was about to climb over the wall to leave the house.
The two of them went out now because they bumped into Shen Mu Ning this afternoon and hadn't had time to deal with their prey yet.
Even if they can take the day off tomorrow, they're worried the meat will spoil in the hot weather.
In addition, Chu Mingxu heard from Cao Ding that afternoon that wolves were roaming in that area.
Although he had often ventured into the deep mountains before, he had never encountered any large carnivores.
But he couldn't guarantee that putting their prey in the traps wouldn't attract other wild animals.
After climbing over the wall out of the educated youth compound and walking a distance, Chu Mingxu asked again.
"Zhang Jiayang, going into the deep mountains now might be dangerous. Are you sure you want to go?"
He used to take leave once a month, always to go hunting in the mountains to improve his grandparents' lives.
He always went up the mountain alone, and no one would notice, since no one usually goes deep into the mountains.
He would send any extra prey directly to the black market in Abe Prefecture to sell.
However, since he met the people who specialize in buying prey on the black market, he no longer needs to travel that far every time.
Each time, all you need to do is transport the game you hunt to the roadside not far from the commune.
They usually spend three days each month there hunting.
His original plan was to catch the wild boar and then take Zhang Jiayang to deliver the prey there.
He never expected to run into Shen Mu Ning deep in the mountains, so he had to change his plans.
Although from what he knew, Shen Mu Ning seemed completely uninterested in things that didn't concern her.
They're currently maintaining a peaceful coexistence, so he doesn't dare gamble on whether Shen Mu Ning will betray him.
Upon encountering her in the afternoon, he decided to come back with her and figure out a way to transport the prey away that evening.
"Brother Xu, what's there to think about? I have to follow you."
You have to understand that back in Beijing, there weren't mountains this big for him to mess around with.
Only when you join the military for training will you have the opportunity to survive and hunt in the deep mountains.
However, marching had specific routes, and hunting was restricted, unlike the freedom we have now.
"Besides, we have quite a lot of prey today. How can you manage to carry it all by yourself?"
It should be noted that the two of them only spent three or four hours hunting in the forest.
But the rogue forest was teeming with prey, and the rogues were incredibly skilled, so they quickly hunted many animals.
The small animals were fine, but the real problem was a wild boar weighing over 200 pounds.
Moving this wild boar out of the area would likely exhaust Chu Mingxu, not to mention the others.
If he doesn't go, then Brother Xu will have to make at least two round trips to get all the prey out.
That way, he won't have to sleep tonight.
"Alright, then stick close to me." Chu Mingxu knew that it would take him a long time to transport the prey out by himself.
So now I'm not going to persuade Zhang Jiayang to go back. Anyway, half of the credit for today's large catch is thanks to him.
After the two had gone far away, Shen Mu Ning withdrew her spiritual power and lay down to sleep.
Actually, she didn't mean to eavesdrop on their conversation; she had just finished her cultivation and was getting ready to sleep.
As soon as I came out of the space, I heard Zhang Jiayang's thieving voice.
In the past, when she slept, the electricity was basically silent.
The fact that someone was deliberately speaking in a low voice piqued her curiosity.
By eavesdropping, I learned that the two hadn't processed their prey after going hunting in the mountains that day.
No wonder Zhang Jiayang seemed unwilling to come back with him when they met before.
But Chu Mingxu made the decision first, so he didn't resist anymore.
It turns out that apart from the two wild boars that were being chased, they had already caught their prey.
Judging from Chu Mingxu's appearance, it seems he has his own channels to sell his prey; it must be through the black market in Anbei County.
Unfortunately, she spent too much time at Komo's house yesterday, which prevented her from properly browsing the black stockings.
I shouldn't keep myself so tense in the future; I should take more time off to go out and see the world.
Forget it, if there's no chance this time, we'll try again later.
She still has three years to stay here, and then she'll have plenty of time to go out and have fun.
She still has a day off tomorrow, so she should rest early and recharge before heading to the mountains.
Meanwhile, Chu Mingxu and Zhang Jiayang trudged through the mud to carry all the prey out.
Sure enough, not far from the commune, the black market hunters were still there.
Now, however, he's even more blatant than during the day, having parked a truck there.
Previously, he always came during the day, and the hunters would only let him leave the prey in the grove of trees beside the road.
Now, they just weigh the prey on the road and pay them.
As soon as Chu Mingxu arrived, the hunter recognized him and walked straight towards him.
"Brother Xia, why did you come at night today?" Sun Sheng had always paid close attention to the man who had saved his life.
The time he spends buying prey here each month is fixed, while the time Chu Mingxu comes is uncertain, but it's always during the day.
He didn't see him during the day, so he thought he wasn't coming back.
Who would have thought he would arrive so late?
"Brother Sun, it's nothing, I just brought a brother along to broaden his horizons."
Although he knew that Sun Sheng had been taking care of him because he had saved him by chance, he still didn't dare to completely trust someone like him who was in the dark.
Therefore, until now, he has used the same name whether he is working in the black market or in front of Sun Sheng.
He even disguised his face to some extent.
It should be noted that the enemies keeping an eye on the Chu family have not completely let them go.
If they ever think of persecuting his family again, they will inevitably find fault with his family.
His dealings with black market operators and his private transactions are a weakness he has been exposed for.
That's why he's being so careful. He even disguised Zhang Jiayang, so it's even less likely that he would tell the truth to anyone.
Upon hearing this, Sun Sheng glanced at Zhang Jiayang, who was following behind Chu Mingxu without saying a word.
Looking at their identical ordinary faces, yet their demeanor so out of place among the rural people.
He remained silent for a moment, but did not press the matter further.
He knew that their private trading was against the rules, and if they were caught, they would at least be sent to reformatory.
It's perfectly normal that they wouldn't reveal their true selves to him.
So he stopped exchanging pleasantries with Chu Mingxu and simply had his men weigh the prey.
He then handed over the money to Chu Mingxu according to the price they had agreed upon beforehand.
"Brother Xia, here's the money for this time, you can count it."
