Chapter 29 He shouldn't have done that

However, upon closer reflection, Chen Fan realized he had been overthinking it.

Firstly, they had only just left the village and were empty-handed. Even if the people on the other side were indeed from Li Family Village, there was nothing to worry about, especially since this group was clearly returning with a full load.

Secondly, the number of people is incorrect.

There were too many people in this group, almost thirty, while the number of people from Lijiazhai was only about thirteen or fourteen.

Of course, most importantly, he saw the Wei brothers in the crowd.

Clearly, this hunting team is probably from Zhao Family Fort.

"They're from Zhao Family Fortress."

A voice rang out from within the group.

"Look, Tiangong and Tianyuan are over there!"

"It looks like they had a very good harvest."

"After all, this is Zhao Family Fort, a large stronghold with over a thousand people, which is incomparable to an ordinary small camp."

The crowd whispered among themselves.

"Let's wait for them to get there first."

Chen Guodong said in a low voice, his eyes filled with undisguised sadness.

The bald man patted him on the shoulder and sighed softly.

The people from Zhao Family Fort also saw Chen Guodong and his group a hundred meters away, whispering to each other. They were too far away to hear clearly. The Wei brothers were also in the crowd.

Just then, Wei Tianyuan jogged to the front of the group and said something. Then, to Chen Guodong and the others' surprise, he came running towards them, carrying a wild rabbit weighing twenty or thirty pounds in his right hand.

Chen Fan was equally dumbfounded, and a possibility came to mind: Could it be that...?

In just half a minute, Wei Tianyuan was in front of everyone. "Brother Guodong, this is for you."

After saying that, he smiled and placed the wasteland rabbit in his hand into Chen Guodong's hand.

The latter instinctively took it, but then, as if electrocuted, hurriedly pushed it back, saying, "Tianyuan, what are you doing? Take it back quickly, I can't accept this rabbit."

"Yeah, Tianyuan, do you know what you're doing? What will they think if they see this?" Liu Yong, who was usually all smiles and carefree, now had a serious face.

In the distance, the people of Zhao Family Fort all stopped and looked in this direction.

"Don't worry," Wei Tianyuan said nonchalantly, "I already asked Brother Zhao, and he has no objection. Brother Guodong, please accept it quickly, I don't have much time."

As he spoke, he saw Chen Fan standing to the side, holding a longbow and carrying a quiver of arrows. His heart ached, and tears almost welled up in his eyes.

What a pitiful child, having to go hunting with the villagers before even reaching adulthood, what if they encounter danger...

He dared not think any further.

"Tengen..."

Just as Chen Guodong was about to speak, the other person waved his hand and said, "Alright, that's enough. I have to go back now. I can't keep my brother and the others waiting too long. Brother Guodong, and everyone else, take care."

After saying that, he turned and left quickly.

"Thank you, Brother Zhao."

He made a point of running to the front of the line first and thanking a burly man.

"Why are you thanking me?"

The burly man sneered, "Anyway, what you send out will be deducted from your and your brother's share when it returns to the fortress."

"Yes, I know." Wei Tianyuan smiled warmly at the other person, then returned to the end of the line.

"cut."

The burly man scoffed, his face full of disdain.

Others witnessed this scene, some gloating, some sneering, and some shaking their heads and sighing.

This newcomer actually made such a request in front of so many people, how could Zhao San refuse? Otherwise, wouldn't he seem petty?

As for being pitiful, that's ridiculous. There are plenty of pitiful people in the world. Many are homeless or have been eaten by ferocious beasts. Are the people of Chenjia Village the only ones who are pitiful? Aren't their own family members pitiful?

Keep a low profile since you're new; don't be so arrogant.

"elder brother."

Wei Tianyuan returned to Wei Tiangong's side and chuckled.

The latter shook his head slightly, sighing inwardly.

My younger brother is too impulsive. He should at least have discussed it with me before doing something like this.

However, what's done is done, and it's too late to say anything now. Besides, he also saw Chen Fan in the crowd, and his nose tingled with emotion.

This child is actually going out of the village to hunt too. If the two brothers hadn't left, would this have happened?

Well, years of feelings are there, I can't just be indifferent to them, can I?

As for the consequences, we'll deal with them gradually.

Watching the Zhao family's group depart in a grand procession, Chen Guodong and his companions remained in a daze until the last figure disappeared from sight.

"So, Tianyuan came here specifically to deliver the game to us; he still can't let us go," someone said, choking back tears.

"Yes, he must think we're having a very hard time these days."

"This might not be a good thing..."

Chen Guodong sighed.

Everyone suddenly fell silent.

Yes, they don't lack a wasteland rabbit right now, but who would complain about getting something for free? But if they were from Zhao Family Fort, Wei Tianyuan's actions would be somewhat unethical.

Even the most magnanimous person will feel resentful inside.

Chen Fan also frowned.

In that case, it will be even harder for them to gain a foothold in Zhao Family Fortress, right? The stronger they are, the more suspicion they will be aroused by dating. Uncle Tianyuan really shouldn't have done this.

"Blame me."

Chen Guodong sighed and looked at the wasteland rabbit in his arms. "I should have chased after it back then."

"It's no use," the bald man shook his head. "The moment he ran this way, it was already over. Returning the prey won't change anything. I just hope we're overthinking it."

"ah!"

Just then, someone seemed to wake up from a dream, glanced at Chen Fan, and said, "We should have told them about Xiao Fan earlier. The village isn't like it used to be; everyone has food now. If they could come back..."

He couldn't finish his sentence.

Yes, what good would it do to tell them?

Zhao Family Fort is not a toilet that you can come and go as you please.

"Alright, things have come to this point, further discussion is pointless. I just hope this matter can be resolved peacefully. If they ever truly wish to return, I will welcome them with open arms," ​​Chen Guodong said.

"Me too."

"Me too."

Everyone chimed in.

The originally cheerful atmosphere turned somber because of this incident.

However, something even more frustrating was yet to come. Whether it was because the people from Zhao Family Fort had swept through the area or because they were just really unlucky, they walked for over an hour without finding anything, and the traps were also empty.

The group was drenched in sweat and their mouths were dry.

"We can't go any further."

Suddenly, the bald man stopped and looked at the wasteland in front of him, where the wild grass was even more lush, and even the trees that were not common before had increased in number. From time to time, dark shadows hovered in the air, watching this place.

"We've walked about ten miles already, and the danger zone is just ahead."
