Hearing the sound of footsteps, the two hurried out and saw Zi Chen coming back.
"Dummy, where did you go?" Bing'er asked anxiously.
Dummy looked at Bing'er and smiled foolishly. Then he raised the things in his hands, which were two dead fat rabbits.
"These are wild rabbits."
Seeing the things in Dummy's hands, Bing'er opened her eyes wide. The old man also exclaimed, "You left before dawn. Did you go to hunt wild rabbits?"
Unfortunately, Zi Chen, who was only controlled by half of his remnant thought, couldn't answer. He just smiled foolishly with the two rabbits in his hands, but it seemed to be a happy smile.
Bing'er threw herself into Zi Chen's arms and cried, "Who dares to say our Dummy is a fool? Dummy is not a fool. Dummy went to find food."
Looking at the two rabbits in Zi Chen's hands, Old Zhang also sighed and sighed. He almost burst into tears, "Little Dumb is not stupid."
That day, Bing'er's happy smile came from the small room because Dummy was not a fool.
Old Zhang cooked a pot of rabbit meat for the two of them, which was delicious. Zi Chen smiled foolishly and Bing'er ate happily. Old Zhang also had a satisfied smile on his face. The three of them were like a family of three, happy and harmonious.
But that day, Old Zhang still went out to find food, but he only found some wild vegetables. In the evening, he put some water in the rabbit meat and heated some wild vegetables. That was a meal.
The three of them only ate two meals a day and ate more than half of the rabbit. As for the other one, Old Zhang kept it for the next day.
The next day, before dawn, Zi Chen disappeared again. After the two of them found it, they didn't panic too much. They kept waiting. As expected, Zi Chen appeared again at dawn.
This time, Zi Chen held a wild rabbit in one hand and a pheasant in the other hand.
This remnant thought followed Zi Chen's order and only hunted some small things.
Seeing these two things, Old Zhang laughed heartily and said, "Dummy is not stupid."
Dumbo was not stupid indeed, because in the following days, Zi Chen would go out before dawn every day. When he came back at dawn, he always carried two things in his hands, which were pheasants, hares, and other small animals.
Two hares a day was enough for three people to eat, and there was still plenty left.
The days of the three gradually improved. In old Zhang's courtyard, there were many rabbit skins hanging out to dry. In addition to the rabbit skins, there was also some dried meat. These were all things that couldn't be eaten and had accumulated. They were sprinkled with some salt and then dried.
Another day, Zi Chen came back with two dead pheasants in his hands. Seeing the pheasants, Bing'er said, "Xiao Dai, we still have a lot of food. We don't need to hunt all day."
Zi Chen just smiled and didn't say anything, but he still brought food back the next day. This was Zi Chen's order, so the remnant thought could carry it out easily.
Finally, Bing'er couldn't help saying, "Xiao Dai, you can kill those pheasants and hares, but I don't know if you can catch them alive. We have a lot of food now, which is enough for us to eat for a while. Why don't you catch some alive? We can raise them and eat eggs."
Zi Chen was still smiling foolishly.
But because Bing'er had a new request, Zi Chen was woken up by the remnant thought at night when the world was silent. After waking up, Zi Chen quickly checked the remnant thought's memory and found nothing serious. Then he said, "Since she wants to raise them, just catch some alive, but not too many. She is a girl and not a cultivator, so she has little strength. You leave early tomorrow and weave a bigger cage for her with hard rattan. Catch some pheasants and put them in it."
After the order was delivered, Zi Chen fell asleep again, and the remnant thought took over.
The next day, Zi Chen left early. He left the room and went straight to the mountain outside the tribe. He couldn't use skills, but he was already very fast with the speed brought by his body.
He was very fast and landed silently.
After arriving at the mountain forest, he began to look for rattan. Then he raised his knife and cut off the rattan directly with a flash of light.
The remnant thought carried out Zi Chen's order very well. Soon there were a lot of rattan around. After that, Zi Chen quickly removed the unwanted branches around and began to weave a wooden cage.
After the wooden dragon was finished, Zi Chen began to catch pheasants again. This time, he caught more pheasants, ten of them, and they were all alive.
After finishing all this, Zi Chen went back quickly with the wooden cage before dawn.
When the sky was just bright, Bing'er and Old Zhang heard the cry of pheasants. When they followed the sound and came out, they were stunned.
They saw a big wooden cage in the yard. Ten live pheasants were walking back and forth in the wooden cage. Some of them were flapping their wings. Obviously, they wanted to rush out.
They looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes. Then they looked at Zi Chen. Bing'er said, "Little Dumb, it's you, isn't it?"
Zi Chen smiled foolishly and didn't say anything. Because the remnant thought couldn't speak.
After knowing that Little Dumb wasn't stupid, they didn't lower their heads when they went out and faced the ridicule of others. Instead, they held their heads high.
"Zhang Yubing, you let the fool live in your house. Do you want to be the fool's wife?" A young man sneered.
Bing'er said loudly, "Little Dumb is not stupid. He is not a fool."
Others laughed, "He's called Little Dumb. Not stupid. It seems that you really like that fool."
"So what? He's not stupid. I'm willing to marry him." Bing'er said. Zi Chen behind her smiled foolishly when he heard that.
"Hey, come and see. That fool can smile. I don't think he's stupid." Laughter came out.
Everyone was still laughing at Old Zhang's family. But when they saw the jerky, rabbit skins, and live pheasants and hares in Old Zhang's yard, they couldn't laugh anymore.
They asked where these things came from. Old Zhang and Bing'er proudly said that they were from Little Dumb. Everyone looked at Little Dumb in a different way.
During this time, Old Zhang also used these rabbit skins to exchange for some rice and other daily necessities.
Although their life was still not rich, it was much better than before. Besides, they had meat to eat all day. It seemed that their life had surpassed the living standard of many people in the village.
At some point, the laughter of the two gradually faded away. When everyone looked at them again, there was a touch of jealousy in their eyes.
Not everyone could hunt wild hares and pheasants. Only the hunters in the village could hunt them. But even so, these two things were definitely good things. Not every family could eat them every meal.
One day, after Zi Chen caught a wild fox, he became even more envious. This was because it was an extremely pure white fox, and its fur was in perfect condition. Old Zhang sold it for an extremely good price.
Two months after Zi Chen woke up, the situation in Old Zhang's family had completely changed. His wooden house was renovated, and the yard was re-enclosed. In the enlarged yard, there were several big wooden cages. There were more and more living things in the cages.
The weather was getting colder. The villagers' harvest was getting less and less. Life became harder and harder. But Old Zhang's life was getting better and better. Of course, for this small tribe, having enough food was a symbol of a good life.
After all, there were no cultivators here. There were no resources. Everyone's only standard of living was to eat their fill.
Seeing Old Zhang's living conditions getting better and better, many people were jealous. Some people began to regret that they shouldn't have been so ruthless.
But who would have thought that a fool would know how to hunt? Moreover, he was an expert hunter. He never went out empty-handed. But now, it was undoubtedly too late to build a good relationship with Old Zhang.
Old Zhang was a kind person. When he found out that some people's conditions were not good and they didn't have enough food, he would bring Zi Chen and Bing 'er to give them some jerky.
There were more than a hundred families in the village. Not everyone was mean and snobbish. Everyone was Xiao Fei's family.
After receiving benefits, many villagers felt guilty. Old Zhang didn't give food to everyone. For example, Xiao Fei's family didn't. Those who received food were grateful. Those who didn't were naturally jealous.
"Bing 'er, look who's here." A voice came from outside the yard.
Hearing Xiao Fei's voice, Bing 'er frowned. To be honest, she hated this Xiao Fei more and more.
When Zi Chen came back, he asked for an intact bull hide. After he found out that Zi Chen was a cultivator, he returned it. But when he found out that Zi Chen was an idiot, not only did he take the bull hide, he even took half of it.
Bing 'er ignored him. Old Zhang wasn't home either. Zi Chen was laughing foolishly. The devil ape was jumping up and down in the yard. Xiao Fei's voice came again, "Bing' er, open the door. We're here to buy monkeys."
"Zhang Xiao Fei, I've told you many times. I'm not selling monkeys. Give up." Bing 'er's eyes were filled with disgust. She shouted at the door.
"Bing 'er, open the door first. This time, it's not me who wants to buy. It's someone from the neighboring Liu Village. The famous Liu Xun, do you know him?"
The door opened and Bing 'er said unhappily, "I've said it before. I'm not selling monkeys. I'm not selling them to anyone."
At that moment, the Devil Ape jumped onto Bing 'er's shoulder and looked at the person outside the door in confusion. His eyes flashed and he looked very intelligent, but in fact, his situation was the same as Zi Chen's. His soul was in a deep sleep.
But at this moment, Zi Chen looked like an idiot. As for the devil ape, although it wasn't an idiot, its intelligence was close to zero. It was completely a young battle ape.
Next to Xiao Fei stood a young man of about 76 or 77 years old. He was wearing a mink coat. Although it wasn't very cold, he wrapped himself in layers. His face was a little pale.
This wasn't because of the cold weather, but because he had lost too much energy in his body. It meant that his body was completely hollowed out by alcohol and women. His small body was very weak.
When the young man saw Bing 'er, his eyes lit up. Then he saw the devil ape and nodded.
Obviously, he was very satisfied with both humans and beasts.
As soon as Bing 'er finished speaking, she was about to close the door again. But a hand stopped her. It was Liu Xun.
He held the door with one hand and grabbed Bing 'er's hand with the other. He smiled and said, "You're Bing' er, right? Your monkey is not bad. I like it. Let's discuss the price."
As he spoke, he grabbed Bing 'er's hand. Bing' er took a step back and tried to break free. But the other party was very strong. She couldn't break free.
"Let go of me." Bing 'er shouted.
"Hehe, don't be nervous. I'm just here to buy monkeys."
Liu Xun smiled. The next moment, he walked in and grabbed Bing 'er's hand.
