The sound of footsteps in the snow could be heard throughout Wennan.
Suddenly, Wen Nan raised his bow and arrow and shot it into the snow.
The simple bow and arrow pierced the rabbit's skull.
The gray hare kicked its feet a few times on the ground, then collapsed in the snow, dead.
Before Wen Nan could pick up the rabbit, Wang Hunzi rushed out, snatched the still-warm rabbit, and stuffed it into his pocket.
He turned and ran.
However, he met Wen Nan's cold gaze.
Wang Hunzi's parents died early, and he's not young anymore, probably in his twenties.
Wang Hunzi is notoriously unreasonable... He turned and ran away.
Wen Nan reached out and pressed down on Wang Hunzi's shoulder.
“My rabbit.” Wen Nan raised an eyebrow slightly.
They were there to steal their prey.
Wang Hunzi held the rabbit tightly in his arms.
"What do you mean 'yours' and 'mine'? This rabbit lives underground. It doesn't eat yours or mine, so it belongs to everyone. It can be yours... and naturally, it can be mine."
Wang Hunzi's ramblings are all about... refusing to return it to Wen Nan.
Why did Wang Hunzi dare to come? He knew that Madam Wen was ruthless and not to be trifled with.
But now I hear that Lady Wen has changed her temper and is now gentle and considerate.
Otherwise, even if Wang Hunzi broke his head, he wouldn't dare to come.
"I killed him. He's mine." The woman's voice left no room for argument, and she had no intention of reasoning with Wang Hunzi.
Seeing that Wen Nan hadn't resorted to violence or cursed at him, Wang Hunzi suddenly became bolder.
"No way, I saw it, I have to get a share too!" Wang Hunzi retorted, his neck stiff.
"No." The woman raised an eyebrow slightly, her voice cold.
"I want it, otherwise I won't return it to Madam Wen." Wang Hunzi's eyes were practically gleaming with greed; he hadn't eaten meat in a long time.
I've thought about it a lot.
Wen Nan rolled a snowball in the snow and threw it straight at Wang Hunzi's cheek. It didn't hurt at all, but it was very cold.
Wang Hunzi loosened his grip, and Wen Nan snatched the rabbit away.
Wang Hunzi looked at Wen Nan pitifully.
"Lady Wen, I haven't eaten meat for quite some time..." Wang Hunzi tried to play the victim.
Wen Nan tugged at the rabbit's ear and asked absentmindedly, "In Lotus Village, how many families can afford to eat meat?"
Lianhua Village is a notoriously poor village in the surrounding area; they might only eat meat once a year.
Wang Hunzi's words caught in his throat.
After Wang Hunzi's parents passed away, he never ate meat again.
Looking back... it's been quite a few years.
The coarse linen clothes Wang Hunzi was wearing hadn't been washed for a long time and were covered in dust and mud.
Wen Nan turned around.
"You're a young man. If you want to eat meat, work harder instead of stealing from others."
“There are plenty of prey here. You can dig a hole, set up a trap, and put sharp objects underneath. The prey will be injured when it enters the hole.”
Wang Hunzi's eyes suddenly lit up.
Wang Hunzi caught a rabbit, and the whole village knew about it. Wang Hunzi went up the mountain with Wen Nan and brought back the game.
Wen Nan prepared to process all the game he had caught, rubbed it with salt, and then pickled it.
We won't have to worry about meat all winter.
But as night fell, Wen Nan had only just reached the village entrance.
A horse-drawn carriage, lavishly decorated, was parked at the village entrance, attracting the attention of many villagers.
"Tsk tsk tsk, this is a real treasure! When has a carriage ever come to our village? They must be important guests!" The village chief stared at the carriage.
Yang Sheng curled his lip.
Just then, someone spotted Wen Nan.
"Madam Wen, a distinguished guest has arrived at your home!" It was Yang Zhaodi's voice. Yang Zhaodi was holding a four-year-old boy in her arms, greeting Wen Nan.
