1727 He Would Teach That Young Man Some Manners
Ji’er breathed out at this point. She smiled a little bitterly. It turned out that her mind was not as clear as a child’s.
However, she felt much more relaxed now.
She had already decided to return and see her mother.
The difficult decision that she had held heavy in her heart was finally resolved and it made her feel much more carefree. Her hunt went smoothly because of this.
This time, she was lucky enough to catch two roe deers, a few pheasants, and wild rabbits. Lil Lin and the others had also picked a basket full of mushrooms. They returned fully loaded with their catch.
The four of them headed down the mountains happily with lots of yields.
It was at this moment when a few big men suddenly jumped in front of them and blocked their way.
“I was wondering why there have been fewer animals to hunt. I see it’s because of all of you.” The man in the lead looked angry while the other men stared at the catch in the hands of Ji’er and the others greedily.
Lil Lin and the others were intimidated by the men’s vicious looks and took a few steps back in fear.
Ji’er glanced at the men.
They were wearing form-fitting clothes and had bows and arrows on their backs. She immediately knew who they were.
These men had come prepared and were targeting them.
“You think there are fewer animals to hunt because you’re just not good enough. If you want to use this as an excuse and snatch our catch, I’m afraid you’re going to be disappointed!” Ji’er said coldly as she immediately revealed what those men were thinking with a tone of disdain.
She had never expected the hunting line to have such bullies.
These men had been hunting for a long time and were quite familiar with this line of work. They did not allow others to get involved with the business and any new faces who emerged that hunted better than they did would be chased off using despicable means.
She had noticed that they came at them in a fierce yet experienced manner, which informed her that this was not the first time they were doing something like this.
They must have scared off quite a number of hunters before this by either threatening them or scaring them off physically.
Those hunters were taken aback and were surprised to hear her words.
They had used this tactic to scare off rookies before, who would immediately back off when they saw a big group of them. This tactic had worked numerous times for them and it was unexpected for them to hit a wall this way today.
When they saw that this new group of rookies was not buying this, they did not retreat because they had more people with them.
“You rascal. Those words of yours alone would be enough for me to stop you from continuing hunting!” The big man in the lead was the first to react. He was furious as he lifted his huge hand and reached out to Ji’er.
From the looks of it, that was just a small, young man who looked fragile and tender. He would not be able to stand a beating.
That rascal was able to hunt those animals because he was lucky. He was just young and rash, which was why he dared to speak up against them.
He would teach that young man some manners.
This beating would have the young man on his knees, begging for mercy.
However, the big man regretted it the next moment.
The young man he had called a rascal had actually grabbed his hand and twisted it to the front with ease.
Crack! It was the crisp sound of his hand being broken.
“Ahh…” He screamed and knelt on the ground in pain.
This sight frightened all of the others.
“Hurry…hurry up and beat him to death!” The big man with the broken hand held onto his hurt arm and roared furiously.
The others were already planning to run away.
It was because Ji’er had just shown them that she was someone who was skilled in martial arts skills. One move and she was able to break the big man’s hand. This proved that she was no weakling.
They were just local hunters and muscled strength was all they had. None of them had ever practiced martial arts skills and if they were to end up in a fight, it was no guarantee that they would be able to win.
The others began to get scared especially when they saw what happened with the big man.
