Hu Yan said with a smile: "You kid, you used to like to eat alone. How come you became so loyal after being hit with a stick by Da Bin?"
"This is not loyalty, this is a rule." Qi Tian shook his head, put down his chopsticks, and decided to wait until Xu Qing and Qi Tai came back before drinking.
He didn't drink, and Hu Yan naturally didn't drink either. The two of them waited for Qi Tai and Xu Qing to come back...
However, after waiting and waiting, it was getting dark and Qi Tai and Xu Qing had not returned yet.
"What's going on? Something must have happened..." Qi Tian frowned again.
"No, no, Uncle Qi and Xu Qing don't know how many times they have hunted in the back mountain. There must be a lot of prey today, and it will be troublesome for them to pack it up." Hu Yan shook his head in denial.
Da da da da.
At this moment, rapid footsteps sounded, and an old man with a white beard appeared at the door of Qitian's house, shouting anxiously:
"Xiaotian, go to the entrance of the village quickly, something happened to your father!"
What?!
Qi Tian was shocked and immediately took Hu Yan and his mother Wang to the entrance of the village.
Zhou Die didn't go. According to the custom in Wolong Village, a newly married daughter-in-law cannot go out for three days.
When he arrived at the entrance of the village, Qi Tian saw a crowd of people gathered around a mat.
Lying on the mat was a bloody man, who was Qitian's father Qitai.
"father!"
"The boss!"
Seeing such a scene, Qi Tian and Wang screamed respectively and fell in front of Qi Tai.
After careful observation, Qi Tian found that his father's body was covered with scratches and the wounds were very oozing. Although he had applied herbal medicine, blood was still flowing out.
"What's going on?" Qi Tian turned to ask Xu Qing, whose eyes were also red.
Xu Qing replied: "Today our hunting teams from Wolong Village and Xihe Village went into the mountains together. Uncle Qi and I shot a lot of rabbits, pheasants and so on, and we gained a lot."
"I didn't expect that just when it was getting dark, that guy Dabin wanted to go deeper. It would have been better if he didn't go. This move attracted a tiger."
"After the tiger appeared, it directly scratched several members of our hunting team. In order to cover the retreat, Uncle Qi and I were responsible for the rear. As a result, Uncle Qi was injured like this by the tiger in order to protect me."
After listening to Xu Qing's story, Qi Tian turned around and saw that Dabin was indeed among the crowd.
This guy just sprained his arm yesterday and went hunting with the hunting team today. He seems to be eager to make money.
"Son of a bitch, did you do this on purpose?" Hu Yan was the first to get angry. As soon as he came up, he picked up Dabin's collar and asked,
"It's so dark, and you haven't come down from the mountain yet, but you still have to go deeper. Do you know there is a tiger inside and want to harm Xu Qing and Uncle Qi?"
The reason why Hu Yan was angry was because Qi Tai was really nice to him, and he frequently ate at Qi Tian's house.
Dabin seemed to know that he was in the wrong. He suppressed his red face and said, "I just wanted to catch more prey. I didn't mean it. I was the one who brought Qitian's father back..."
"Isn't that what you should have brought back? You bastard, you obviously lured the tiger, but you didn't solve it yourself, but let Uncle Qi and Xu Qing take the throne?" Hu Yan became more and more angry as he spoke, and he couldn't help but raise his arms.
Beat up Da Bin.
If we were to fight alone, the thin Hu Yan was probably no match for Da Bin, but since Qi Tian was by his side, Da Bin definitely didn't dare to fight back, so he could only cry out for help:
"You're talking nonsense about beating someone, Captain Sun, do you care?"
"Nonsense, Qitai has already been injured like this, you should stop making trouble unreasonably!"
A burly middle-aged man stepped forward, it was Sun Sheng, the captain of the Wolong Village hunting team.
He is also the son of the old village chief Sun Qing.
Wolong Village Hunting Team, Sun Sheng is the captain and Qi Tai is the deputy captain. It is said that this thing is ranked based on the performance. Sun Sheng hunted black bears when he was young.
Because he was the hunting captain of the village and the son of the village chief, once he stood up, he had nothing to say and could only let go of Da Bin's collar.
Qi Tian didn't care about this, but squatted in front of Qi Tai and asked: "Dad, are you okay?"
"No...it's nothing serious." Qi Tai answered with difficulty, not seeming to be fine.
Qi Tian then called for people and carried Qi Tai back.
Qitai was carried home and just when he was about to rest, Sun Sheng made another infuriating decision:
"Qitai, you are so seriously injured now that there is no way you can hunt anymore. You can just take good care of your injuries. I will take your hunting bow away first and wait until you recover."
"Captain Sun, my injury is not a problem. It will heal in a few days. There is no need to take my bow away, right?"
Qitai said anxiously and couldn't help coughing heavily. To a hunter, the long bow in his hand is like life, and he is a hunter!
Sun Sheng showed an impatient look: "Is your injury okay? The hunting bows in our hunting team are scarce. You can't use them anymore. They must be left to useful people."
As soon as he said this, Xu Qing couldn't help it and shouted: "Captain Sun, Uncle Qi has been in the hunting team for so many years and has hunted countless prey. You didn't confiscate his hunting bow just after he was injured, right?"
Hu Yan echoed: "That's right, Captain Sun, Uncle Qi was injured because he was rearing for the hunting team. As the captain, you were not responsible for rearing. As the deputy captain, Uncle Qi chose to cut off the rear. If you continue to cross the river and burn the bridge like this, isn't it a bit strange?
Isn’t it appropriate anymore?”
As the son of the village chief and the hunting captain, Sun Sheng prided himself on his superior status, but now he was confronted by two young boys who shouted angrily:
"Xu Qing, nonsense, pay attention to the tone of your words."
"Xu Qing, don't you want to be in the hunting team anymore?"
"Nonsense, believe it or not, if you talk to me like this, I will ask my father to drive you and your mother out of Wolong Village?"
Sun Sheng's words could be said to have accurately threatened the lives of Xu Qing and Hu Yan, making both of them grit their teeth with anger, but they had nothing to say.
At this time, Qi Tian finally couldn't stand it anymore and handed the hunting bow directly to Sun Sheng and said: "Okay, hurry up and get out with your broken bow, we don't care about it at all!"
It seemed that Qi Tian would dare to talk to him like this. Sun Sheng widened his eyes and said: "Qi Tai, how do you think your son talks to me?"
Qi Tai also followed: "Didn't you hear what my son said? The hunting bow has been given to you, just take it and get out!"
"Haha, okay, your family is really talented, Qitai, now you can't move, your family's source of income will be a problem in the future. When your whole family can't eat, even if you kowtow to beg me, I will
I won’t give you a chance either.”
Sun Sheng said with a sneer, took the long bow and left.
And when Qi Tai thought about how he had worked so hard over the years and hunted without complaint, 40% of what he hunted had been handed over to the Sun family, only to be treated like this in the end.
It can be said that the more he thought about it, the more angry he became. Qitai suddenly felt a sweetness in his throat, and a mouthful of blood spat out from his mouth...
