Chapter 7 It’s all luck

 The day I fell down the slope, the biggest purpose of going up the mountain was to try to catch a snow rabbit.

However, the snowshoe rabbit is not easy to catch. It is a kind of rabbit famous for its appearance and speed.

Before Fan Ming was born, he heard from his elders that the Northern Mountain Snow Rabbit was once very prosperous and was the main prey of hunters. However, later its beautiful snow-white fur became known to more and more outsiders, and it was subsequently hunted on a large scale.

Nowadays, the number of snowshoe rabbits has become extremely rare, and it is difficult for ordinary people to see them.

It is even more difficult to catch it alive. Not only is this rabbit extremely fast, it is also extremely alert and cunning. It will run away at the slightest sign of trouble, and it can also see through traps set by hunters.

Fan Ming has seen snow walking rabbits twice in his memory, but they were both dead rabbits shot by hunters with bows and arrows from a long distance.

So after Fan Ming picked up the Snow Walker, the first thing he did was to check whether it was still alive.

Fortunately, it is still breathing and its heartbeat is stable.

He probably just fainted.

"The reward is in hand!"

Fan Ming, who was grinning from the corners of his mouth to his ears, quickly tied up the four legs of the Snow Rabbit with straw, stuffed it into a small bag and hung it on his waist.

This is called a good start, and Fan Ming is looking forward to today's harvest.

Fan Ming packed up his tools and continued deep into the forest...

On another mountain, after lying in ambush in the bushes for a long time, Sun Sanlang raised his hand and shot an arrow at a wild deer that was grazing with its head down.

"According to past situations, just this one wild deer can definitely beat that kid, but to be on the safe side, we still have to catch a few more small ones as additions..."

It was not yet evening that day, so Sun Sanlang returned to the village carrying a wild deer in one hand and two gray wild rabbits in the other.

"If nothing else happens, that kid will probably have to wait until dark before he can come back. I want him to know that I can let him win in an hour!" Sun Sanlang smiled proudly.

However, he was just halfway through laughing when he spotted a familiar figure at the entrance of the village.

Sun Sanlang thought to himself, "This guy came back early because of me. Could he have given up early?"

But when he saw something beside Fan Ming, his expression completely changed.

What did he see? A wild boar?

Sun Sanlang walked in and took a look, and after confirming that it was a wild boar, his eyes almost popped out of his head.

"Can you shoot a wild boar?!" Before he could get close to Fan Ming, Sun Sanlang dropped his prey from a distance and shouted at Fan Ming.

Fan Ming is currently talking to an old hunter at the end of the village.

This man's name was Fan Congwu, and he was the most experienced hunter in the village. He had a good relationship with Fan Ming's dead father, and Fan Ming called him Uncle Wu.

Before Fan Ming could answer, Fan Congwu answered for him: "Brother Ming was lucky. He happened to meet an old boar that was injured after failing to fight for territory."

Fan Ming said modestly: "It's all luck, it's all luck..."

Sun Sanlang suddenly "tsk", no matter how Fan Ming hunted this wild boar, but in terms of hunting difficulty, hunting a wild boar is much more difficult than hunting a wild deer and two hares.

of.

Sun Sanlang was unwilling to lose the bet, but suddenly he had an idea.

They seem to bet on who can catch the most prey, rather than on the difficulty of hunting

So, Sun Sanlang excitedly pointed at Fan Ming and said, "If you lose, will this wild boar belong to me?"

However, Fan Ming's face did not change, "Why? Can your wild deer plus two rabbits be worth my huge wild boar of more than 500 kilograms?"

Sun Sanlang smiled proudly, "Don't you forget, we are betting on who has the most prey!"

"Oh, is that so?"

"I know, why don't you get out of my way, and my 300 coins!" After saying that, Sun Sanlang stretched out his hand in front of Fan Ming.

But Fan Ming just looked at his hands and made no other movements at all.

Sun Sanlang looked at Fan Ming with a suspicious look on his face, "Don't you want to default on your debt?"

Fan Ming raised one hand, put his hand away with the back of his hand, shook his head and said, "You seem to be happy too early."

Sun Sanlang was stunned, "What do you mean?"

Fan Congwu on the side said with a smile: "The third son of the Sun family, don't worry, just follow me into the house and you will know."

Sun Sanlang followed Fan Congwu into his yard in a daze.

As soon as he entered the door, Sun Sanlang saw something lying on the ground.

Two pheasants, three hares, and a pangolin.

What’s even more outrageous is that there is actually a living snowshoe rabbit in the cage next to it!

Fan Congwu leaned against the door of his house, "Well, except for the wild boar outside, these are what Brother Ming has gained today..."

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Sun Sanlang retorted with disbelief.

"How can this kid have the ability to hunt so many things in one day!"

Even in autumn, when the prey is most abundant and fattest, he has never hunted so many prey, let alone hunted an adult wild boar alone.

Sun Sanlang suddenly remembered something, turned to look at Fan Congwu and asked: "Could it be that you two with the same surname teamed up to deceive me from someone with a foreign surname?"

Fan Congwu's face suddenly darkened, "I, Fan Congwu, have acted openly and aboveboard throughout my life and have never done anything deceptive or deceiving. Are you doubting me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, an astonishing aura suddenly erupted from his body, frightening Sun Sanlang into retreating.

Sun Sanlang broke out in cold sweat. Only then did he remember that Fan Congwu was the most powerful person in the village. Even his eldest brother was no match for him.

Moreover, the other party’s reputation in the village has always been very good.

Sun Sanlang regretted extremely, regretting that he spoke without thinking.

He slapped himself and said: "Yes...I'm sorry, I was just in a hurry..."

Fan Congwu's expression softened slightly.

"More than an hour ago, Fan Ming came back to the village once. Because his house didn't have a cage, he temporarily left the snowshoe rabbit and these prey at my place."

"Besides, I don't have the ability to hunt so many prey in one day during this season."

Fan Ming was still pretending to be modest, "It's just bad luck, it's just bad luck..."

Sun Sanlang's expression suddenly became even more ugly, and he thought to himself, could it be that that boy Fan Ming was really unlucky to have left today?

Although he was a little reluctant, the facts were before his eyes, and Sun Sanlang had no choice but to believe them.

In the end, I could only bear the pain and give all my gains today to Fan Ming.

Even if he wanted to default on the bill, Fan Congwu was right beside him, and the village chief also knew about the bet, so there was no way he could fool him.

As for the three hundred coins, don't even think about it.

"Today's events are unlucky for me, but don't be too happy too early..." Sun Sanlang glared at Fan Ming fiercely, and then left Fan Congwu's yard after saying a harsh word with little confidence...Chapter completed!
