After a meal, Chen Qinghe and Chen Qingmeng successfully left the family.
However, all the things they had prepared for hunting had been confiscated.
Also leaving with the two men was a wooden-wheeled cart carrying dozens of kilograms of rice.
At this moment, Chen Qinghe was in front and Chen Qingmeng was behind. The two pushed the cart and headed towards the village mentioned by the patriarch.
Although the rice is a bit heavy, the two of them are warriors in the Body Tempering Realm, so this weight is not a problem for them.
"Brother Qingyu can go, so why can't I? I am already in the middle stage of the Body Tempering Realm! Maybe I can also break through during the hunt!"
"Qing Meng, don't you think this is true?"
Chen Qinghe said angrily while pulling the cart.
"Actually, I think sending food is fine. It's a contribution to the family anyway."
Chen Qingmeng said indifferently.
This made Chen Qinghe speechless instantly.
"But hunting seems to be more interesting."
“That’s right!”
After all, they were teenagers, and in the new and strange environment that was different from their family, the emotions in their hearts quickly disappeared.
The two of them were pulling the cart along a fairly flat path when Chen Qinghe suddenly asked:
"Qing Meng, what do you want to do in the future?"
Chen Qingmeng replied without hesitation:
"In the future, I want to be as powerful as Brother Qingyu!"
"Then, with Brother Qingyu so powerful, what do you want to do?"
After hearing this, Chen Qingmeng showed a long-lost reflection, but he quickly replied:
"Of course, it is to protect the family and make the family stronger!"
"I will hunt two beasts a day, eat one and raise the other! This way, the family won't have to worry about having nothing to eat!"
After saying that, Chen Qingmeng licked his lips subconsciously, and his eyes seemed to have already thought of how to eat the ferocious beast he hunted.
After hearing Chen Qingmeng's thoughts, there was a hint of helpless sigh on Chen Qinghe's young face.
"Qinghe, what about you? What do you want to do in the future?"
Chen Qingmeng, who had regained his senses, asked back.
Chen Qinghe also replied:
"I also want to be as powerful as Brother Qingyu first! Then, I want to go outside the Mass Burial Mountain and take a look!"
"I heard from my grandfather that the world outside is huge, with many great people and many beautiful places. I want to see different scenery."
Chen Qinghe looked over the surrounding mountains and gazed into the distance with a hint of longing in his eyes.
"Qing Meng, why don't you come with me then!"
“I heard there are lots of delicious food out there!”
There was also a trace of yearning in Chen Qingmeng's eyes, but then he shook his head:
"No, my grandfather said it's dangerous outside, it's better to stay in the family."
Chen Qinghe did not look disappointed after hearing this, but smiled and said:
"Okay, then when I return to my tribe, I'll bring you some delicious food! I guarantee you've never tasted it before!"
"OK."
The two of them smiled and imagined a bright future.
The light of the setting sun shone on the two people, stretching their shadows very long.
Before long, the two saw their destination ahead.
It was an extremely simple village, surrounded by half-person-high and crooked stone walls. The stone walls were incomplete, with a gap at regular intervals, making it hard to believe in the defense of the stone walls.
Within the surrounding stone wall, there are a dozen houses built with wood and straw.
These houses are still simple, and the straw on the roofs is of uneven color, as if they were just renovated not long ago.
The two men breathed a sigh of relief when they saw their destination, slowed down, and then arrived at the entrance of the village.
The family was quite far from the village, and even though these dozens of kilograms of rice were not too heavy, it still took the two of them a lot of effort.
"Shilu Village!"
Chen Qingmeng looked at the three big characters on the wooden board above the village entrance and read them out unconsciously. But when he read the second character, Chen Qingmeng began to scratch his head and then looked at Chen Qinghe:
"Qinghe, how do you pronounce this word in the middle?"
Chen Qinghe looked up, stared for a long time, and then shook his head:
"It doesn't matter. Let's just call it Stone Village. Let's finish it quickly and go back, otherwise it will be too late."
Seeing that it was getting darker, Chen Qingmeng nodded hurriedly. According to their speed, they should have arrived faster, but they stayed for a long time because they wanted to have fun.
Seeing that there seemed to be no one in the village, Chen Qinghe and his companions, who wanted to speed up their progress, did not hesitate to push the cart behind them into the village and soon arrived at the door of a house:
“Ding ding ding!”
"Fellow villager, open the door! We are here to deliver food! Please open the door quickly!"
After Chen Qinghe knocked on it a few times, the wooden door, which was not strong enough to begin with, made a hoarse sound, and then fell down under the gaze of the two men.
Chen Qinghe's hand, which was about to knock on the door, stopped in mid-air. After realizing that he had broken someone else's door, Chen Qinghe's expression changed slightly.
He forgot that he was already a warrior in the middle stage of the Body Tempering Realm. Having just reached the higher realm, he was not yet able to perfectly control his own strength, which resulted in him using a little too much strength.
That would have been fine. After the door fell, Chen Qinghe glanced around the simple room and found the grandfather and daughter hiding in the corner, shivering.
The grandfather and daughter looked at the broken door and didn't dare to say anything. They just looked at Chen Qinghe with fear.
Chen Qinghe showed an awkward smile:
"So you're at home!"
"I'm here to deliver food. Come, take the food!"
Chen Qinghe tried to use the most friendly and sunny smile, but the room was dark and Chen Qinghe's figure directly covered the entire doorway, revealing only a pair of shiny white teeth.
At this moment, in the eyes of the grandfather and daughter, Chen Qinghe's smile was like a mandrill with a strange smile.
"Hey, I finally found someone!"
Chen Qingmeng's inappropriate words were heard from the side.
These words completely broke the silence in the room.
"Please spare us, sir. Please spare us. There is nothing valuable in my house. Please let us go."
"Wow, grandpa, I'm scared!"
The old man tried hard to protect his granddaughter behind him and kept begging for mercy.
This made the smile on Chen Qinghe's face freeze. Chen Qingmeng, who was moving rice from the cart, also stopped what he was doing and scratched his head in confusion. They had never encountered such a situation before.
"Beast! Stop it! My Stone Village is not so easy to bully!"
Just as the two were at a loss as to what to do, a dozen villagers quickly rushed out from other houses nearby.
These villagers included both men and women, and at the moment they were holding the farm tools they usually used for working. However, from the slightly fearful looks in the eyes of many villagers, they could not hide the fear and panic in their hearts.
