  Chapter 14 is a bit of a surprise, but not much

  In the room, the woman looked resentful, while Chen Guodong sat on the side with a sad face.

  The little boy looked at this scene at a loss. At this moment, a figure appeared at the door. He ran up excitedly and hugged Chen Fan's thigh.

   "Brother, you are back."

"Um."

Chen Fan touched his little head with a smile, then looked at his parents in the room, and asked curiously: "Dad, Mom, what happened? I just heard you talking about the three words Lijiazhai outside." ? Could it be that the people in our village clashed with them? Was anyone injured?"

   "Relax, no one was hurt."

  Chen Guodong shook his head.

   "How could it be all right?"

  The woman couldn't help but said: "The prey was taken away by them, this group of people are simply robbers!"

   "Okay, let the past be the past," Chen Guodong frowned, and signaled the woman with his eyes, Xiaochen is ignorant, Xiaofan is different, let him listen, it will only increase troubles.

  The woman opened her mouth, "Let's eat first."

  Chen Fan frowned, halfway through his words, no one could accept it.

  Besides, this matter seems to be quite important.

"Dad, Mom, what happened? I'm also a member of the village, right? Besides, if you know all about it, Mom, there should be quite a few people who know about it. I'll ask others later. , isn't it the same?"

  The woman looked at Chen Guodong with some resentment, the latter hesitated for a few seconds, and finally sighed, "Okay, then I'll tell you, after listening, don't be impulsive."

  After listening to his narration, Chen Fan finally understood what happened.

It turned out that my father led the hunting team to leave the village, first to check the traps everywhere, and the harvest was zero. When they saw the last trap, by coincidence, a frightened wildebeest galloped towards them come.

   This kind of horse is tall, nearly two meters tall, and is famous for having a single horn on its head. It is the largest of the low-level beasts.

  They were overjoyed at first, but then they could only sigh in dismay, because wildebeests in their heyday had no means of long-range attack, so they couldn't do anything to each other at all.

  When the wildebeest saw them, it was naturally very frightened. It changed its direction, and as a result, it fell into the trap they had dug.

However, Chen Guodong had a bad premonition, the wildebeest was obviously being chased, maybe those people were behind, but because of their slow speed, they were temporarily thrown away, and the prey must be taken out of the trap as soon as possible. Otherwise, there may be unexpected problems.

It's a pity that when they were halfway through their busy work, people from Lijiazhai appeared, and the two sides had a quarrel because of this. The other party believed that the wildebeest was targeted by him and others first. Do not agree.

  However, the people in Lijiazhai gradually realized that the number of people on the other side was not only a little small, but the Wei brothers seemed to be absent? Fourteen to eight, almost double.

  So, Lijiazhai directly wanted to take all of them, and refused to leave any meat. In the past, the two sides were evenly matched and refused to give in. This wildebeest may be divided in half.

  But now that the Wei family brothers are away and there are few people, if there is a real fight, and the opponent still has archers, the only one who suffers will be the own village. In the end, not only will there be no prey, but there will also be wounded.

  In this world, what it means to be injured is self-evident.

   Therefore, the people in the village could only watch helplessly as the other party destroyed the trap and walked away with the prey. Before leaving, they were even angered by Yin and Yang.

   "That's what happened, blame me." Chen Guodong sighed, this matter, he didn't plan to talk about it after he came back, it was a blow to morale.

   As a result, on the way back, someone in the team was very angry and spoke out, letting many people know.

  People always need to vent, and he understands that.

   "Dad, I think you did the right thing about this."

  Chen Fan nodded, "If we had clashed with them at that time, it would have been best for both of us to suffer losses. It was almost possible that our entire army would be wiped out. Without you, the rest of the village would not be able to survive."

  He sighed inwardly. In this world, one must fight not only with fierce beasts but also with humans. Perhaps, humans are more dangerous than fierce beasts.

  Chen Guodong glanced at him in surprise.

  He thought Chen Fan would be very excited, yelling to find those people desperately.

  The woman on the side also fell silent, why didn't she understand this truth, but, if you understand, you will understand, scolding is still necessary, even though it is useless.

   "Okay, let's sit down and eat first, you have practiced for a day."

   Chen Fan nodded, and sat down around the dining table with his younger brother.

   Dinner is still the same as yesterday, a bowl of porridge and a plate of sliced ​​meat.

   "Xiaofan, eat more."

Chen Guodong picked up a few pieces of meat and wanted to put them into Chen Fan's bowl, but the latter stopped him with his chopsticks, "Dad, you can eat, one or two pieces is enough for me, and then, I have one more thing to do with you." You say."

  Chen Guodong was taken aback, this was the first time he saw his son with such a serious expression on his face, subconsciously withdrew his chopsticks, "What's the matter?"

   "I think, go hunting with the hunting party tomorrow."

"What?"

   Chen Guodong and his wife exclaimed almost at the same time.

   Then, the woman said decisively: "No! How old are you? Do you know how dangerous it is? What if something happens?"

Chen Guodong glanced at his woman, nodded as well, and said, "Xiaofan, I understand that you want to contribute to the village. You have been practicing archery day and night for the past two days, but it's only been a few days? How about this, wait for you Practice for another month or two, and then go out with us."

  The woman's lips moved, and she swallowed back the words that came to her mouth.

   "Brother, don't go, okay? It's very dangerous outside." The younger brother Chen Chen looked at Chen Fan eagerly, even such a young child knew what it meant to go out.

  Chen Fan shook his head resolutely, and said directly: "Dad, I have the confidence to say that. After the meal, you and I will go to the warehouse with me, and then you will understand everything."

   Wait a month or two?

  He really doubted whether the village could last for so long?

  Chen Guodong and the woman looked at each other.

   Xiaofan, where does this confidence come from? Say something like this? Did he learn archery in just two or three days? But even if you learn it, it's just superficial, right?

  Finally, Chen Guodong nodded, do you agree or not? It's not too late to decide after reading it.

   After the family had dinner, Chen Fan took Chen Guodong to the warehouse. The woman was worried, so she took Chen Chen with her. The family of four went out together.

  The lame man showed a dumbfounded expression when he saw this scene.

  What's the situation? This is it?

   Isn't it practicing archery?

  Why bring so many people?

  Chen Fan smiled at him, and picked up the 60-jin longbow.

  At this moment, Chen Guodong narrowed his eyes slightly, and his face showed a solemn look.

   If he remembers correctly, the bow that Xiaofan used for practice yesterday was the 40-jin bow, right? When did he change to sixty catties?

  If it is said that hunting low-level ferocious beasts with a bow of forty catties is still a little tricky, sixty catties is enough to shoot and kill most low-level ferocious beasts, and even some mid-level ferocious beasts can be killed.

  He admitted that Chen Fan gave him a little surprise, but it wasn't enough.
