Chapter 23: Chapter 23 I’m waiting for you at the village entrance_1 Chapter 23: Chapter 23 I’m waiting for you at the village entrance_1 “It’s fine, Dad, see, I came back safe and sound, didn’t I?” said Nan Feng.
“And, oh, we’ll have meat for dinner tonight!”
At the mention of meat, Nan Quanyou swallowed.
Soon he said, “We can’t risk your life just for a meal of meat.”
“What’s there to fear?
We have Brother Ye,” said Nan Feng.
Only then did Nan Quanyou turn his gaze to Brother Ye and asked, “Did you go hunting together?”
Before Brother Ye could answer, Nan Feng said eagerly, “Yes, Brother Ye taught me hunting.
We had a great harvest today because of him.”
Only then did Brother Ye step forward, putting the bag of game in front of Nan Feng: “Since your father is here, I’ll leave this to you.”
“Thank you,” Nan Feng smiled at him, but quickly averted her gaze.
She still didn’t dare to meet his eyes.
Looking at the heavy sack, Nan Quanyou asked Nan Feng in amazement, “This…
is it all yours?”
“No, some of it is Brother Ye’s,” Nan Feng replied, then picked a wild rabbit out of the bag to give to Brother Ye, “This one’s for you.”
Brother Ye didn’t accept it immediately.
Nan Feng spoke softly, “If you don’t take it, my dad will not let me go to the mountains next time.”
Finally, Brother Ye accepted it.
“Thank you for today,” Nan Feng smiled at him.
He just nodded.
Then Nan Feng asked, “I wanted to ask you one thing.
Have you ever sold your game in town before?”
“Yes, you can sell it to the restaurants in town.
Quite a few of them buy game,” Brother Ye answered.
“Are you free tomorrow?
Can you take me to town?
I’ve never left the village.
I’m afraid I won’t know my way around, or the people, and they’ll ignore me,” Nan Feng asked.
Brother Ye nodded, “Ok, I’ll wait for you at the entrance of the village at dawn.”
“Great, it’s a deal!”
With that said, Nan Feng shouldered the hemp sack again and took Nan Quanyou’s arm, “Dad, let’s go.
We’ll go home and I’ll cook some pheasant for you.”
“…”
After walking for a while, Nan Feng looked back.
Brother Ye’s figure had already disappeared into the night.
…
Nan Quanyou still couldn’t believe that Nan Feng had shot so much game.
Included was a wild wolf.
“Fengfeng, I’ll believe it if you said you caught the pheasant, but this wolf…
Brother Ye must have helped you shoot it, right?” Once back in the yard, Nan Quanyou couldn’t help asking Nan Feng again.
Of course, Nan Feng couldn’t tell Nan Quanyou she did it all by herself, so she slyly replied, “Of course I didn’t shoot the wolf myself, but I found it first.
I made a pact with Brother Ye, that whoever finds it first, gets it.”
“So, you really had the nerve to take the wolf?”
Nan Feng said, “Of course I took it.
We agreed beforehand.
He’s a grown man, he couldn’t possibly cheat a girl like me, right?”
“Isn’t that bullying the honest?” Nan Quanyou naturally thought of Brother Ye as the type of a simple and bullied fellow due to his reticence in the village.
“Didn’t I give him the rabbit?” said Nan Feng.
“…”
Nan Quanyou realized that Nan Feng was becoming more and more…
ah, he didn’t know how to describe it.
Not only was she assertive, but she was also cunning.
Forget it, a daughter can’t be controlled by her father forever.
If Brother Ye didn’t say anything, he naturally couldn’t say much.
Nan Feng said, “Dad, I’m tired and hungry today.
I only ate some wild fruits on the mountain.
Don’t ask so many questions.
Let’s quickly prepare the pheasant.
I’ll handle the cooking later.”
Nan Quanyou now obediently followed his daughter’s advice.
He quickly heated the water and started to pluck the pheasant.
Back when his leg was fine, he would occasionally go hunting with the villagers, and could occasionally eat pheasant a couple of times.
But since he hurt his leg, he never had the chance to eat it again.
