Chapter 2

Ten years later

Deep in the mountains, a wisp of smoke floats up, following the breeze, gradually drifting into the mountains.

At the foot of a mountain, there is a village called Dawang village.

In this village, people are rarely seen, and it seems to be isolated from the world. But in the center of the village, there is a stone tower two feet high, but the stone tower seems to be in disrepair for a long time, and the base of the tower has disappeared.

On the tower, there are many deep gullies. When you look closely, you can see that there are many inch deep palmprints on the tower! Terrible!

"Chuan'er! It's time to get up! ", At the door of a thatched cottage, an old man shook the long dry smoke in his hand and called to the house.

"Grandfather! What time is it? I'm going to the mountain, A tender voice came from the room.

"The early bird catches the worm. Now it's time for the wild animals to act. It's time for us to act.", The old man said.

There was a sound of washing in the room, but after a long time, a teenager slowly walked out of the hut with a bow on his back, which looked like a hunter.

Although they are hard and tired, they can also keep food and clothing, and they can eat animal meat that ordinary people can't eat all the year round.

They passed by the village of Wang Wang.

"Oh! The old man is going to the mountain again, A strong man with a load of haystacks asked with a smile.

"Yes, it's better to enter the mountain early or come back early.", The old man said.

"Uncle Heng, you've come back from mowing so early?", Asked the little boy following the old man.

"Haha, the grass is tender in the morning, and they also bring some dew. Those cows love to eat! Jiangchuan, you have to learn how to hunt with your grandfather! Maybe you will have to rely on you to eat meat in Dawang village in the future, The strong man said with a smile.

"Don't worry, uncle Heng. I'm sure I can learn the true story of my grandfather!", The child said with a smile.

They bid farewell to the strong man and walked slowly towards the deep mountain. Before they entered the mountain, they could hear the sound of birds and animals in the mountain.

Jiang Chuan walked behind and listened carefully to the birds and insects in the mountains. Although he was only ten years old, he could already tell what kind of birds and animals he was, even his age and size. Of course, this unique skill was taught by the old man himself, not by chance.

Jiang Chuan looked left and right, but what he often looked at was the huge ax that the old man was carrying behind him!

This axe is rusty, but Jiang Chuan knows that it is extremely sharp. Last time, a six foot wolf was split in two by this axe! The broken bone is extremely smooth, like being split by a sharp weapon!

"Grandfather! How many years have you used this axe, Jiang Chuan couldn't help asking curiously.

"Hey, hey, don't look at this axe. It's from our ancestors! I will pass it on to you in the future, The old man said with a smile.

"Grandfather! Then you can give it to me first to see if you can take advantage of it, Jiang Chuan said.

"Hum, you little boy, I'm afraid you can't even lift it. Do you still want to use it?", The old man hummed, but he took the axe from his back and put it on the ground.

Jiangchuan wiped his hands, raised his trousers that seemed to fall, stretched his waist, and then came to the ax, holding the handle with both hands!

"Ha!", Jiangchuan roared, exerting all his strength!

But the axe on the ground didn't move!

"My God! Why is it so heavy, Jiang Chuan tried his best, but the axe didn't move!

"If you are so young, it would be strange to be able to hold the axe! When you are eighteen! Maybe it's almost there! Now, it's too early, The old man said as he carried the axe back to his body. It didn't take much effort at all!

Jiang Chuan was dejected and followed the old man with a shrug of his head.

"You don't have to be depressed. When you are 18 years old, after the rite of passage, if you still can't lift this ax, it's not too late to be sad.", The old man said.

Jiang Chuan smell speech, eyes a bright, then jump to keep up with the old man.

In the early morning of the mountain, there is a hazy fog, surrounded by fog. In the woods, colorful birds fall to the ground to peck. Under the thick leaves, there are insects rustling. Among the dark green trees, poisonous snakes are dormant, waiting for the prey to be sent to the door automatically.

As soon as they entered the mountain, they seemed to stir up some birds and animals, pulling their hooves or flapping their wings to flee.

"Alas, the blood on my body is so heavy that these little birds and animals are afraid of me.", The old man sighed.

The smell of blood, Jiang Chuan once heard his grandfather say, is a kind of breath formed after killing countless birds and animals. Ordinary people can't see it. Only those birds and animals with sensitive sense of smell and touch can smell it or feel it.

At the edge of the mountain, ye and sun naturally can't catch any prey. Only when they go deep can they meet the prey.

A spotted elk was gnawing at the tender leaves of the bush. Suddenly, with a whoosh, an arrow came through the air!

The sound of breaking the air startled the elk, but the elk and other herbivorous beasts could not do anything else, but the reaction speed was extremely fast!

Almost at the moment of the sound of breaking the air, the elk jumped high!

But the more the elk didn't matter, it hit the arrow!

What the arrow aimed at was not the elk, but the top of the elk! At a glance, where is the arrow shot at the elk, but the elk itself hit the arrow!

"Good! Progress is not small, elk is so hard to shoot that you hit it! I don't seem to have taught you in vain, After the Bush, the two heads slowly rise. Who are they?

Jiang Chuan held the ox horn bow in his hand. The bow string was still shaking because of the force just now. The very tricky arrow was shot by the ten-year-old boy!

Jiang Chuan heard his grandfather's praise, scratched his head and said with a smile, "these are all taught by my grandfather."

The old man nodded, "well, with your skill, after a few years of experience, you can probably enter the mountain by yourself."

With that, the old man cut a fist sized piece of wood, cut it clean, hung the elk on the tip, stood on the ground, and scattered a circle of phosphorous powder around.

The purpose of this is to prevent other wild animals from eating this elk. Phosphate powder is an excellent protective material.

Ye and Sun took care of the elk, packed up their tools, and went on to the mountain.

"There are powerful wild animals deep in the mountain, even I can't capture them. Most of them have never seen people, and they are not afraid of people. If you go deep alone in the future, you must be careful of those wild animals with red eyes. They are mostly fierce animals, and they are carnivorous and fierce.", The old man taught the way to Jiangchuan.

Jiang Chuan nodded and kept the common sense in his mind. When he saw the beast, he would avoid it.
