Gu Qishen looked at the knife in his hand. He figured that with Han Yixian and the other man around, he probably wouldn't have a chance to make a move.
As expected, Han Yixian attacked any prey he saw along the way, and He Yuhan was not to be outdone, frequently making her own moves as well. Before long, the baskets on the backs of Gu Qishen and Han Yixian were almost full.
Seeing that the harvest was almost complete, Han Yixian suggested going back, but he was a little disappointed that he hadn't encountered any wild boars.
Gu Qishen said, "You really don't like things getting complicated. We're lucky with what we've gained. If we'd encountered a wild boar, wouldn't we have had a real fight?"
