Fuling Mountain is located in a remote mountain village in Fengyu Country. I heard that there are no young people in that mountain village except the elderly and children, because it is a very poor place. There is not even a road leading into the village, only a small and steep mountain road.
They inquired about the news about Fuling Mountain along the way, but whenever people heard that they were going to Fuling Mountain, they would run away quickly as if they had contracted the plague, so they knew very little about the news about Fuling Mountain.
"After crossing this mountain, you will enter the mountain village. After entering the mountain village, you can go up Fuling Mountain. After you get there, you don't have to follow me anymore." An Tingyu said as she walked.
When Yan remained silent as usual, Jing Aotian just nodded, but in his heart, he had already made up his mind.
"Also, I want to say one thing. The mastermind behind the poisoning and the assassination are not the same person. One is ruthless, and the other poisons but shows mercy. These are two completely different routes, so they are definitely not the same mastermind." An Tingyu said again, as if explaining her final wishes.
Listening to her words, not only Jing Aotian, but even Dang Yan, who usually had a blank expression, frowned. "Miss, Dang Yan doesn't like you saying this. Although what you said is true, you can wait until you come back to talk about it."
"Are you coming back?" An Tingyu smiled slightly, "If you can come back, I'll talk to you again!"
"Yu'er! Can you let me go to Fuling Mountain? Master Lingjing said that as long as you don't care, you won't attract heavenly calamity, so don't go, just let me go!" Jing Aotian brought up the old things, but An Tingyu shook her head.
"Man can conquer nature. Even if it is a calamity from heaven, I will face it alone because I don't want to see you taking risks for me. Besides, I brought the Heart-Locking Harp with me. If I can't deal with Master Xingmo, I will use the Heart-Locking Harp to escape, so don't worry! I will definitely come back alive." Although An Tingyu said that, she had no trump card in her heart, and she didn't know where her life would end up. But the only thing she knew was that she didn't want to hurt the two men around her.
"But……"
"Okay, stop talking. We still have to get into the village before dark. It will be very dangerous in this forest if we are late." The forest is where barbarism is most rampant, especially in this place where there is no village in front and no shop behind. Even people with martial arts skills have to be cautious.
Hearing this, Jing Aotian and Dang Yan had no choice but to remain silent. They walked on the mountain road for a long time until the sky gradually darkened, and then they saw the sporadic lights of the village.
The village was very small, with only eleven households in the whole village and a total population of no more than twenty people. They were staying in an old lady's house.
The old lady is a widow. She originally had a son, but this son went out to work a few years ago and never came back, so the old lady is left alone in the whole family.
"We have nothing at home, only some wild vegetables and fruits. We are sorry to have troubled you distinguished guests from Tianmen." Hearing that they came from Tianmen, the capital of Longyan Kingdom, the old lady greeted them warmly, but her family was really poor, so she could not offer any good things to entertain them.
"Auntie, you are in a serious condition. We are very grateful that you can let us stay at your home, Dangyan," after saying that, An Tingyu suddenly turned to Dangyan and just shouted. Dangyan immediately understood and walked out. Not long after, Dangyan came back with some hares and pheasants on his shoulders.
"Auntie, let all the villagers come and eat together!" An Tingyu said with a smile.
"Is this really possible? You guys brought this back." The old lady's eyes lit up and she stared at the game.
"Of course! Go ahead!"
"Thank you, young lady!" After saying that, the old lady went out happily. Not long after, more than 20 villagers gathered in an open space in front of the old lady's house.
"Miss, I am the village chief here. On behalf of all the villagers, I would like to thank you and the two gentlemen." The old man who claimed to be the village chief waved his hand to An Tingyu to express his gratitude.
"Village chief, we haven't eaten meat for a long time. Today we have meat thanks to this girl." said one of the villagers.
At this time, another villager also spoke up, "That's right. We are all old people, and our children are very young. We don't have the ability to go hunting. We can only pick wild fruits and vegetables to survive on weekdays."
"Hey! It's okay for us old guys, we're going to be in the coffin soon anyway, but it's pitiful for these kids, they can only suffer with us."
After he finished speaking, some villagers lowered their heads and remained silent, while some even started crying, perhaps lamenting their own fate.
Unable to bear the villagers' sadness, An Tingyu said, "Everyone, listen to me. I invited you here just to thank you for your kindness in taking me in. And who says that the elderly and children can't hunt? As long as the traps are set well, the tiger won't be able to escape. Tomorrow I will teach you how to set traps, so that you can eat meat every day from now on."
"Girl, you don't know. It's not that we don't know how to make traps, but even if we do, we don't have the ability to get the prey out of the trap. And since you said you want to teach us how to make traps, you must know that if the trap is shallow, the prey will escape, but if it is too deep, we are all old people. If we can get into such a deep trap but can't carry the prey out, then it's useless."
Hearing this, An Tingyu disagreed, "Sir, you're wrong. Who says you have to carry the prey out of the trap after hunting? After setting the trap, why not cut it into pieces and then use a hook to hook it up piece by piece?"
"By the way, why didn't we think of such a simple thing?" The village chief slapped his forehead with one hand, secretly cursing them for being a bunch of idiots. They only thought about the depth of the trap, but never thought of cutting the prey into small pieces before taking it out.
