Chapter 627 Local Snake
Hunting in Siheyuan Deep in the old alleys of Beijing, there is a Siheyuan with a sense of age. There are several families living in the courtyard. Although there are occasional minor frictions between neighbors, they live a lively life. Among them, there is a young man named Chu Tian, who is agile and has a smart and courageous look in his eyes. He is a well-known smart guy in this Siheyuan. This morning, just after dawn, Chu Tian got up quietly, for fear of waking up the courtyard that was still sleeping. He put on his shiny hunting rifle, carefully checked the ammunition bag hanging on his waist, and after confirming that it was correct, he carefully pushed open the door of the Siheyuan. "Squeak--" The old door hinge made a slight sound, which was particularly clear in this quiet alley. Chu Tian's heart tightened, and he hurriedly looked back. Fortunately, the courtyard was still quiet, and it seemed that he did not disturb others. He exhaled, closed the door gently, and walked quickly out of the city. Outside the city, there was a vast forest. The trees in the forest were lush and green, and the morning mist had not yet completely dissipated, adding a bit of mystery to the forest. Chu Tian took a deep breath, feeling the fresh air in the forest, and his heart was full of excitement. He hadn't gone out hunting for a long time. Although he was comfortable in the courtyard on weekdays, he always felt that something was missing. Only in this forest, chasing prey and getting in close contact with nature, can he find his true self. As he walked, Chu Tian suddenly stopped. He keenly noticed that there seemed to be movement in front of him. He slowly squatted down, holding the hunting rifle in his hand, and his eyes were fixed on the grass in front of him. After a while, a hare jumped out of the grass. The hare was snow-white, with only a hint of pink on the tip of its ears, which was very cute. Chu Tian's heartbeat suddenly quickened, his finger gently pressed the trigger, and he aimed at the hare without blinking. Just when the hare was about to disappear from his sight, he decisively pulled the trigger. "Bang" a gunshot echoed in the forest. The hare fell to the ground, Chu Tian stood up excitedly, and ran towards the hare quickly. However, just as he picked up the hare, he suddenly heard a noisy sound of footsteps. He was startled and quickly hid the hare, then looked vigilantly in the direction of the sound. A group of people came out from the depths of the forest, led by a burly man with a hideous scar on his face, looking very fierce. "Boy, did you shoot here just now?" The big man walked up to Chu Tian and asked viciously. Chu Tian's heart sank, but he remained calm on the surface and said, "Yes, I went out hunting and killed a hare." "Hunting? This forest is our territory. Did you get our consent?" The big man snorted coldly. Chu Tian realized that he had encountered a local tyrant in the forest. He secretly complained in his heart, but he refused to give in and said, "This forest is not yours. Why can't I hunt?" "Humph, kid, you are still stubborn. Brothers, come on, teach him a lesson." The big man waved his hand, and the group of people behind him surrounded Chu Tian. Chu Tian was anxious, but he did not panic. He took advantage of the group of people not getting close to him, suddenly pulled out a dagger from his waist, and then rushed towards the big man. The big man obviously did not expect Chu Tian to suddenly attack, and was a little at a loss for a moment. Chu Tian's dagger stabbed straight into the big man's chest, and the big man quickly dodged sideways. Chu Tian took the opportunity to kick the big man in the stomach and knocked him to the ground. Seeing this, the other people rushed towards Chu Tian. Chu Tian waved a dagger and started a fierce fight with the group of people. Although Chu Tian was agile, he was outnumbered after all. After a while, he was knocked to the ground by the group of people and suffered a lot of injuries. The big man got up from the ground, walked in front of Chu Tian, kicked him hard, and said, "Boy, I'll teach you a lesson today. Don't let me see you in this forest again." After that, the group of people laughed and left. Chu Tian lay on the ground, his heart full of anger and unwillingness. He looked at the backs of the group of people and secretly vowed to find an opportunity to take revenge. After a long time, Chu Tian struggled to get up from the ground. He picked up his hunting rifle and the hare, dragged his tired body, and walked towards the courtyard. When he returned to the courtyard, it was already noon. Everyone in the yard was busy with their own things. They were all surprised to see Chu Tian coming back with injuries all over his body. "Chu Tian, what happened to you?" Uncle Li, who lived in the east room, hurried over and asked with concern. Chu Tian forced a smile and said, "It's okay, Uncle Li, I accidentally fell in the forest." "You kid, you shouldn't be careful when hunting. Come on, go into the house and let your aunt give you some medicine." Uncle Li said distressedly. Chu Tian thanked Uncle Li and returned to his room. He put away the hunting rifle and the hare, then sat on the bed and fell into deep thought. He knew that he couldn't swallow this breath if he just let that group of people go. But how could he take revenge when he was alone? At this time, a quarrel suddenly came from the yard. Chu Tian got up and walked out of the room, only to see a middle-aged woman arguing with a young girl in the middle of the yard. The middle-aged woman was Aunt Wang who lived in the west room. She loved to take advantage of others. The young girl was Lin Xiao who had just moved in. She was very pretty and gentle. After listening for a while, Chu Tian realized that Aunt Wang wanted to occupy some of Lin Xiao's sundries in the yard. Lin Xiao refused, and the two started arguing. Chu Tian was already angry, and seeing this scene, he couldn't help it anymore. "Aunt Wang, how can you do this? This is Lin Xiao's stuff. Why do you occupy it?" Chu Tian walked over and said loudly. Aunt Wang was a little afraid when she saw Chu Tian, but she still said stubbornly: "I took it, so what? You little kid, don't mind your own business." "Aunt Wang, don't go too far. If you don't return the things to Lin Xiao today, I'll never let you go." Chu Tian said, rolling up his sleeves and pretending to fight. Aunt Wang was a little scared when she saw Chu Tian's posture. She knew Chu Tian was powerful, and if they really fought, she would definitely not be his opponent. So, she snorted and said, "You are so cruel, I won't bother with you." After that, she returned to her room in disgrace. Lin Xiao looked at Chu Tian gratefully and said, "Thank you, Chu Tian. If it weren't for you, I really don't know what to do." Chu Tian smiled and said, "It's okay, we are all neighbors, and we should help each other." After this incident, the relationship between Chu Tian and Lin Xiao became much closer. Lin Xiao often helped Chu Tian mend his clothes, and Chu Tian would bring back some wild fruits for Lin Xiao when hunting. During the days in the courtyard, the two gradually developed a special feeling.
