Chapter 28

"Two patrol comrades, I'm really not acting like a hooligan; I encountered a wild dog and was bitten by it, and my clothes were torn to shreds by the wild dog."

"If you don't believe me, look at my body, there are bite marks from the wild dog."

Jia Dongxu pleaded with a crying voice.

"You'd better be telling the truth."

The two patrol officers nodded.

They checked Jia Dongxu; on his feet, his two calves, and his right thigh, there were seven or eight bite marks from the dog, all freshly bitten.

Some were still oozing blood.

They looked at the strips of cloth around his waist; they weren't torn by hand, but torn when the dog bit him.

They believed Jia Dongxu.

He was indeed bitten by a dog.

"Comrade, you're a bit too miserable."

"Go home quickly, lest you be mistaken for a hooligan again!"

The patrol officers believed Jia Dongxu and let him go.

Wuwuwu!

Jia Dongxu started crying sadly.

The crowd pointed and whispered; it wasn't common to see a grown man cry!

At the same moment.

In the deep mountains and old forests.

Wan Ping'an continued hunting.

He had no idea that without him needing to do anything, the large black dog watching the land had already made Jia Dongxu cry.

"There's movement ahead."

"The movement is a bit small, it seems to be a small prey."

Wan Ping'an was a bit disappointed, staring at the grass ahead.

Soon.

A small head poked out.

Wan Ping'an guessed right.

It was a pheasant out foraging, encountering Wan Ping'an head-on!

Chicken: I'm very panicked, what should I do?

Wan Ping'an took out a small stone and flicked it casually.

The pheasant fell to the ground!

At close range, using a small stone as a hidden weapon to hunt small prey was more convenient than a bow and arrow.

It also avoided wasting arrows.

The rabbit he hunted earlier could have been caught with a small stone.

He used the bow and arrow directly to intimidate the hunters led by the old hunter.

Hunters hunting in the deep mountains and old forests were none of them easy to deal with.

If he hadn't shown his super strength, the old hunter probably wouldn't have stopped the scarred hunter, and a bloody conflict might have broken out.

"Not bad, not bad!"

"Quite fat!"

Wan Ping'an picked up the pheasant, weighed it in his hand, and was very satisfied.

He casually put it into his space.

Items placed in the space would enter a state similar to time stagnation.

The pheasant was the same when he took it out as when he put it in; he didn't need to worry about rot or spoilage, and he didn't need to worry about the weight.

"Huh, why does it seem like there's more?"

Wan Ping'an listened intently.

Soon.

He was certain.

The one he saw was a pheasant, just one of a flock; there was a large flock of pheasants nearby—he was going to have a big harvest!

Soon.

He discovered another pheasant.

Immediately after, he discovered a pheasant flock, twenty or thirty of them, some of which were chicks that had just hatched, which could be taken back for farming.

"If I want to farm them, I can't kill them all."

"I can't put living things in the space, and I can't carry a flock of pheasants with me."

"I'll note this location, leave a mark, and when it's convenient, I'll come back to take the pheasant flock back."

Wan Ping'an retreated quietly, not alarming the pheasant flock.

At the same moment.

In front of the Red Star Sihe Academy in the Four-Nine City.

Jia Dongxu returned.

He was still wearing a skirt made of wild grass; after the patrol officers let him go, he picked up the fallen weeds and re-tied them around his waist.

Afterward.

He only walked the most remote paths, not daring to walk on the main road.

Whenever he heard human voices, he would hide.

After going through all kinds of hardships to return to the Sihe Academy, he started worrying again.

When he came back, he could take small paths and avoid people.

How could he avoid people when entering the courtyard?

He couldn't!

"I'll risk it!"

After struggling for a long time, Jia Dongxu decided.

He covered his face with both hands, looked at the road through his fingers, lowered his head, and rushed into the courtyard.

"Ah, someone is acting like a hooligan!"

During the day on a workday.

The Third Master Yan Fugui was at work, and the Third Aunt would take his place, guarding the gate of the Sihe Academy.

Suddenly, a naked man rushed in; the Third Aunt was stunned, then screamed, her sharp, high-pitched voice spreading throughout the entire Sihe Academy.

"Who's acting like a hooligan?"

Sha Zhu happened to be at home and rushed over directly.

Sha Zhu rushed forward, and Jia Dongxu was in a hurry to run home; the two happened to meet.

Jia Dongxu was covering his face, not wearing clothes, and had his head lowered.

Sha Zhu didn't recognize him and kicked him over.

"Beat the hooligan!"

"Beat him to death!"

The neighbors also rushed over.

Entertainment in the fifties was very scarce, and they were just idling around; a hooligan had broken in, so why not hurry up and beat the hooligan to pass the time?

Jia Dongxu was beaten until he screamed, having no chance to speak at all.

Every time he opened his mouth, he was beaten back.

"I'm coming, move aside!"

Jia Zhang arrived at the battlefield.

She held a broom and, together with the neighbors, gave him a sound beating.

"Stop hitting, it's me, Jia Dongxu!"

Jia Dongxu braved the beating, protected his head with his hands, and finally shouted it out.

What?

The crowd was shocked and stopped.

Jia Dongxu put down his hands, stopped covering his face, and let everyone see clearly; his face was red, his neck was thick, and he wished he could find a mouse hole to crawl into and hide.

It was too embarrassing!

Social death!

"Jia Dongxu, do you have a hobby of running naked?"

Sha Zhu laughed.

His habit of having a foul mouth had been there since he was a child.

The neighbors also burst into laughter; no one expected the hooligan to be Jia Dongxu.

Jia Zhang's face turned red.

The hooligan was her son, so she was embarrassed too.

"Why don't you hurry home?"

Jia Zhang was furious, holding a broom in her hand, and lashed out at Jia Dongxu.

Jia Dongxu jumped up with an "ow" and turned to run home.

A burst of laughter followed him.

They had more gossip for after their meals.

Jia Dongxu running naked—was it moral decay, or a special hobby?

They could argue about it for a month.

"You little brat, you really gave me face."

"Tell me, what happened?"

Back home.

Jia Zhang was furious and questioned Jia Dongxu.

He was fine when he went out this morning, so how did he come back without any clothes?

Even his shoes were gone!

Front courtyard.

The Third Aunt and a group of young girls and young wives started discussing it.

"Do you think Jia Dongxu has something wrong with his brain?"

"I don't think so, he has blood on him, was he robbed outside?"

"Robbers only want money, why would they want clothes?"

"That's not necessarily true; maybe it was a beggar who robbed him, lacking food and clothing, wanting money and clothes, so they stripped Jia Dongxu naked."

The more they talked, the more outrageous it became.

Just an hour later, the most exaggerated version came out.

It said Jia Dongxu met a female savage, was taken a fancy to by her, was slept with, and escaped when the female savage wasn't paying attention.

While the rumors were spreading.

Wan Ping'an, who was hunting in the mountain forest, made a major discovery.

"This, isn't this ginseng?"

"So lucky!"

"It's a pity the age is a bit low, only ten years, but it's still a rare medicinal herb."

"Combined with some other medicinal herbs, used to stew chicken, it can make a medicinal meal, not only delicious but also great for nourishing the body."

Wan Ping'an's eyes lit up.

He broke off a tree branch to use as a small shovel and dug carefully.

After half an hour of digging, he dug out the ginseng intact, without any damage, preserving the medicinal effect to the maximum extent.

"The produce in the mountains is truly rich!"

"There's all kinds of wild game, and precious medicinal herbs, but it's just too dangerous."

"There are ferocious wild beasts like wild boars and tigers; if an ordinary person encounters them, there's a ninety-nine percent chance they will die, with little hope of survival."

"Even experienced old hunters must be very careful."

Wan Ping'an put away the ginseng.

And continued hunting.

It was a pity.

What he encountered next were all small prey, like pheasants and rabbits; large prey was nowhere to be seen.

"I understand."

"I haven't entered the deep mountains yet; on the outskirts, most are small animals."

Wan Ping'an figured it out.

He decided to go to the deep mountains.

It was noon.

He was hungry.

He cleared a small open space by a small river, took out a pheasant, and roasted it.

Lunch was a pheasant!

Wuwuwu.

The wind picked up.

Dark clouds began to gather.

"Oh no, the weather is about to change."

"Hunting cannot continue."

"In bad weather, wandering into the deep mountains and old forests alone is just looking for death."

Wan Ping'an decided to head back.

When the weather was good, he would continue hunting.

He turned around.

Wan Ping'an hurried along.

Hoping to get out of the mountain forest before the storm arrived!
