Chapter 56: Prey Like Mountains

  The two black bears initially sensed spirituality and felt Zhao Ji's kindness, and their attitude towards him was quite warm, especially the male bear, who liked Zhao Ji very much.

  After playing with the two black bears for a while, Zhao Ji was worried that Ding Dian and Tian Hong would not be able to find themselves, so he called out to Hei Hu and prepared to return.

  Together with Hei Hu, one in front and one behind, they returned along the way they came. What made Zhao Ji somewhat surprised was that two black bears also followed behind them.

  "You can't be serious, you want to follow me too?"

  Upon seeing the behavior of the two black bears, Zhao couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh.

  There is a tiger living in the village, which has brought great panic to the villagers. In the past two days, if it weren't for the black tiger being relatively calm and not causing trouble in the village, Zhao would be too afraid to continue keeping it in the village.

  One black tiger caused a big stir, if two black bears followed me back to the village, it would be even more chaotic.

  Although he was unwilling, Zhao Ji thought of ways to make the two black bears stay. Who knew that these two were stubborn and couldn't be driven away no matter what. In the end, Zhao Ji had no choice but to let them follow him.

  When they arrived at the place where the three of them had agreed to meet, Ding Dian and Tian Guo indeed showed up, with a considerable harvest - a large pile of game, stacked on top of each other on the ground, almost forming a small hill.

  "Brother Ding, Master Tianhong, you guys are really fast!"

  Putting aside the many prey he had hunted, Zhao Ji bowed to Ding Tian and Tian Hong with a smile.

  "You've had quite a harvest too, but your speed is slow enough. How come you're only back now? And there are two black bears following behind."

  Tian Hong glanced at Zhao Ji with a somewhat strange expression.

  "I'm also helpless, these two black bears insist on following me, can't shoo them away no matter what, it's really annoying, might as well bring them along."

  Zhao Ji couldn't help but smile wryly and said in a very displeased tone.

  "Zhao Ji, Tian Hong Master, since our prey's prey is enough already, let's hurry back. Tomorrow is the gathering time in Qiao Mu Town, we still need to arrive early."

  Ding Dian can't take care of so many things. Now, his whole mind is focused on the upcoming wedding, and he can no longer take care of other things.

  The spoils of the hunt, obtained through the combined efforts of three people, were quite substantial in number and weight, likely totaling several thousand catties. However, transporting them back to the village would not be an easy task.

  However, Ding Dian, Tian Hong and Zhao Ji were not weak warriors either. With the help of two black bears and a tiger as porters, transporting these prey back to the village was not too difficult.

  When the three returned to the village, it caused a sensation in the village. The thousands of kilograms of prey were something that even with the combined strength of all the villagers of Zengjia Village had never achieved before.

  In addition, two unusually large and majestic black bears also caused a stir in the village. Such ferocious beasts, when seen by villagers, generally make them want to hide and run away.

  Since they are not formally married yet, Ding Dian doesn't think it's right to live with Ling Shuanghua together. For now, he still lives with Zhao Ji and others, while Ling Shuanghua lives in the new house prepared for them in the village.

  When Zhao Ji and the others returned to the village, Ling Shuanghua was at home sewing clothes for Ding Dian. As for Ding Dian's feelings towards her, how could she not be aware of them? She would naturally think of him and have him on her mind all the time.

  He came alone to Zengjia Village with nothing in his hands. The needles and threads for sewing clothes were also provided by the villagers.

  When she heard that Ding Dian was coming back, Ling Shuanghua was overjoyed and hastily put down the work in her hands, rushing to the empty space in the middle of the village.

  Thousands of kilograms of game, placed in the empty space of the village, piled up into a small mountain, with a strong and pungent smell of blood.

  "Brother Ding, you're back, didn't encounter any danger, did you?"

  As soon as she saw Ding Dian, Ling Shuanghua's worried and anxious heart suddenly calmed down, and a breathtakingly beautiful smile bloomed on her face.

  "Frost Flower, don't worry about me, with my abilities, a mere beast is nothing to be concerned about."

  Holding Ling Shuanghua's slender jade hands, Ding Dian smiled faintly and said lightly.

  Ding Dian and Ling Shuanghua were there, affectionately calling each other "you" and "I", their feelings tender. The villagers of Zengjia Village, however, looked at the pile of prey that had become as big as a small mountain and couldn't help but praise it.

  "Good fellow, Zhao brothers, you three are really something! In less than two hours, you've actually hunted so many prey."

  Seeing that pile of prey that had become a small mountain, Zhen Dajun's face was shocked, his eyes widened to the extreme, and he exclaimed to Zhao Ji.

  "This is nothing, this is still us not going all out, otherwise, the harvest of prey will definitely not be just this point."

  Zhao Ji smiled faintly and said indifferently.

  As a warrior, I have some pride in this. For ordinary people, it's hard to hunt down prey that they can get at will without exerting much effort.

  "Right, Big Brother Da Zhuang, there are some things I'd like to ask for your help with."

  At this time, Ding Dian suddenly interjected.

  "What is it, Mr. Ding? Just say it, and if I can do it, I'll definitely agree."

  Zeng Dazhuang patted his chest and said.

  "These prey are a bit too many and also quite messy, which is not good for tomorrow's sale. So, I want to ask the villagers to help deal with them slightly."

  Ding Dian pointed at those prey and said.

  "No problem, I'll go arrange it now."

  Zeng Dazhuang readily agreed.

  Not to mention Ding Dian's request was just a small matter, even if it were a hundred times more difficult, Zeng Dashuai would still agree. For Ding Dian and his fellow martial artists, the villagers wouldn't dare offend them, they would be eager to curry favor instead.

  The whole village worked together to deal with the prey. The action was swift, and by nightfall, all the prey had been dealt with.

  Of course, the villagers didn't work for nothing. After finishing, each household got a pheasant or a wild rabbit, and at dinner time, a strong meat fragrance wafted through the village.

  That night, all the villagers had a good dinner and went to bed early. When the darkness fell, the village became quiet.

  On the second day at dawn, when the sky was just brightening and the sun had not yet risen, every household opened their doors and the villagers all went out to work.

  At the entrance of the village, five carts were parked there, loaded with corpses of various animals. Two villagers stood guard beside each cart.

  "Alright, it's getting late, we should set off."

  Everything is ready, Zeng Dashuai called out to everyone and announced their departure.

  There are too many preys to be sold, and they need to be transported to Qiaomu Town, which is more than ten miles away. It's not easy for Zhao Ji, Ding Dian and Tian Hong alone to transport them.

  Fortunately, the villagers were very enthusiastic and volunteered to help transport these goods. A large group of people set off on the road, heading towards Qiaomu Town.
