After listening to Zhang Yan's explanation, Lin Fan cast a glance at Li Shu, a subtle change occurring in his eyes.
No wonder he felt a hint of cold killing intent from this man.
It turned out that Li Shu was a veteran of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression!
Before Lin Fan could say anything, Zhang Yan, changing the topic, looked at him and said, "Husband, you also want to participate in this mountain hunting trip..."
"I do have some interest..."
Lin Fan didn't hide anything and simply nodded slightly to Zhang Yan.
Seeing Lin Fan's attitude, Zhang Yan fell silent for a moment.
After a few breaths, she sighed and said, "I won't stop you, husband, but you must be careful..."
"I'll be waiting for you to come back home..."
Seeing the worry in Zhang Yan's eyes, Lin Fan quickly said, "Don't worry, wife, you have to believe in your husband's strength..."
"Besides, with you, a beautiful woman, waiting at home, I wouldn't dare to risk anything..."
"Don't worry, I'm indeed interested in going hunting in the mountains, but unless absolutely necessary, I will never show off my strength..."
Lin Fan's reason for wanting to go into the mountains with the group was not only to try his hand at hunting but also to search for some medicinal herbs!
Although they usually practiced the Mighty Bull Demon Fist and had beast meat as a supplement, they didn't have to worry about depletion.
However, as Lin Fan's cultivation broke through to the Mingjin Realm, the effect of the beast meat gradually began to weaken.
Fortunately, in those medical books, Lin Fan found many medicinal meals and prescriptions that might be helpful for his cultivation.
Although he had the prescriptions, Lin Fan didn't have the necessary herbs.
This time, he would take the opportunity to see if he could collect some useful herbs!
As Lin Fan was reassuring Zhang Yan and giving her repeated guarantees, the villagers gathered at the scene began to volunteer actively.
Seeing everyone at the scene actively signing up, Lin Fan didn't hesitate and immediately said, "Third Uncle, can I join as well..."
Although Lin Fan's voice wasn't loud, everyone in the bustling scene could hear his words.
Swish
In an instant, everyone at the scene turned their gazes towards him.
"He's a new educated youth who just came to the countryside this year..."
"This young man seems to be called Lin Fan. He's with Zhang Yan..."
"Who is this person, daring to sign up..."
For a moment, the crowd began to murmur amongst themselves.
In their eyes, some flashed with surprise, some were disdainful, and some held a hint of scrutiny.
Especially those educated youths who had come to the countryside, their gazes towards Lin Fan were full of disdainful sneers.
On the contrary, the experienced Li Shu, his gaze landing on Lin Fan, scrutinized him for a moment, as if he had seen something.
"Kid, you really thought it through. Although we have Li Shu and the others leading the way this time, who knows what might happen..."
His gaze fixed on Lin Fan, Zhang Lao San didn't agree, but he didn't directly refuse either.
Facing the gazes of the crowd, Lin Fan's face remained calm, a smile gracing his lips as he replied:
"I have some knowledge of medicine, and my skills are considered passable. I won't hold you guys back..."
Before Zhang Lao San could say anything, Li Shu, who was leading the group, suddenly said, "This kid is not bad, he can follow me..."
Seeing that Li Shu had already spoken, Zhang Lao San also nodded in agreement, "Since Li Shu has already spoken, then you can join..."
"Alright, now we have enough people. Everyone go back and prepare well. We'll meet here early tomorrow morning..."
Seeing that they had enough people for the mountain trip, Zhang Lao San didn't waste any time, waved his hand, and signaled everyone to disperse.
The crowd didn't linger, gathering in groups of three or five, discussing as they left the scene.
At the same time, Lin Fan exchanged a glance with Zhang Yan and turned to leave the scene.
As the two returned to their residence, before Lin Fan could say anything, Zhang Yan gestured to him.
Then, under Lin Fan's gaze, she went into the house and found a key, unlocking the locked side room.
"Husband..."
After opening the side room, Zhang Yan turned to Lin Fan and beckoned him over.
Coming to Zhang Yan's side, Lin Fan glanced into the room.
At a glance, he could tell that the side room hadn't been cleaned for a long time.
But seeing the things in the room, Lin Fan couldn't help but feel a hint of surprise!
His gaze swept across the room, and he saw that the side room was filled with items related to hunting.
Lin Fan even saw a perfectly preserved wolf skin, pasted on the wall facing the door.
Besides that, Lin Fan also saw several long guns placed in the corner of the room.
If he wasn't mistaken, these long guns were the Type 38 Arisaka rifles used by the Japanese during the war.
Although Lin Fan felt a bit surprised when he saw these guns, he wasn't too shocked.
This wasn't the modern world where there were nationwide gun bans.
Especially in a mountain village like Koushancun, or in border areas, let alone these guns left over from the war era.
Even things like small cannons and mortars could probably be found in abundance!
