Chapter 834 – Chapter 824: Harvest

Night came.

Priory came to Dudian’s door with a spear. He invited Dudian to gather in the tunnel.

“So early?”Dudian was surprised. He was wearing a pocket watch. It was less than six o’clock in the evening. There were more than ten hours to dawn tomorrow.

“The beasts are out hunting at night. It is not suitable for us to walk in the tunnel. So we have to go to the tunnel in advance and rest there for the night.”Priory explained.

Dudian thought for a moment: “I have an idea. I want to double the harvest of the hunt. But I need to prepare some tools. Do you have any?”

Priory’s eyes lit up: “Double the harvest of the fishing? What tools does benefactor need?”

“I want to weave a fishing net.”

Puley’s eyes lost interest, he wryly smiled: “Benefactor, do you want to use a fishing net? It’s useless. We have tried this method for a long time. The fish in the Blue Fish Lake are meat eaters. Their teeth are sharp and can easily bite through the fishing net.”

Dudian shook his head: “The fishing net is not used for fishing but for encircling the fish. You will know when the time comes. Do you have a ready-made fishing net?”

“Trap fish?”Pulley was puzzled, “We have a ready-made net but it is not used to catch fish. It is used to trap small beasts. It is kept by other hunting teams. I can borrow it if you want but if it is broken we will have to compensate them.”

Dudian knew that pulley was worried about the safety of the net so he didn’t say much: “Go and borrow it. I will compensate you if it is broken.”

Priory saw that Dudian was confident: “Benefactor, is your method really effective?”

“It should be.”Dudian didn’t say anything: “By the way, there are eighteen people. Let them wear the tools to dig the soil.”

“Don’t need to wear the Spears?”Priory was stunned. They were going out to hunt without weapons but with tools to dig the soil? Was he going to dig a hole to bury himself?

Dudian saw the strange expression on Priory’s face. He could guess what he was thinking: “Trust me. It is useless to bring a spear. Bring a tool to dig the soil. We need to borrow a large one for the fishing net.”

“Benefactor, this…”priory hesitated. After all, it was not easy to go out to hunt. It was a rare opportunity. It would be better if he went alone. But there were eighteen other people, there were more than ten families behind the eighteen people. They were carrying the food for the children and the elderly. If they went out without any harvest then the next days would be very miserable.

“Benefactor, it’s not that I don’t trust you. It’s just that I’m worried that other people might not be willing to do so.”Priory said in a tactful manner.

Dudian saw his dilemma: “If someone wants to carry a spear then let them carry it. Others can carry digging tools. They can carry bags to carry fish. If there are no accidents this time then there should be a good harvest.”

“Alright.”Priory wryly smiled. If Dudian hadn’t saved him then he wouldn’t have bothered to listen to his nonsense? It would be good if he didn’t come back naked.

An hour later, Priory brought the borrowed net to find Dudian. There were three or four adults who came with him. They were carrying tools such as shovels and hoes. Priory saw Dudian waiting at the door so he hurried over, “Benefactor, we have borrowed the net. But you must be careful when you use it. They said that if it is damaged they will compensate them with at least thirty fish.”

Dudian looked at the net. It was made of bark fibers and vines. The net was very thick but it was used to hunt monsters outside. He pinched the net. It was quite tough. He was satisfied and asked: “Where are the others?”

“They are waiting for us outside the tunnel.”Priory looked at the weak light on the top of the village: “It’s late. Benefactor, should we go now?”

“Okay.”Dudian nodded and went back to the house. He took Aisha out: “Let’s go.”

“Miss Aisha is going too?”Priory was surprised.

Dudian smiled: “I won’t separate from her.”

Priory understood and didn’t ask any more questions. He called the people behind him to carry the fishing net and set off.

It didn’t take long before they came to the tunnel outside the village. There were more than ten people waiting in front of the tunnel. Most of them were holding spears and carrying a small basket on their back. They were bored as they waited.

More than a dozen people looked at Dudian and pulley. Their eyes were full of curiosity. There were a few who were alert and indifferent.

Dudian didn’t care and walked over.

“Everyone, this is Mr. Dudian, my benefactor.”Pulley introduced Dudian to everyone.

Everyone looked at Dudian but didn’t say anything. The atmosphere was a bit awkward.

Pulley knew that Dudian’s identity was sensitive. He coughed: “Everyone, it’s late. Let’s go to the tunnel.”

“Old Ray, do you really only carry shovels and not spears?”A middle-aged man who was about forty years old frowned.

Pulley looked at him and then looked at dudian: “We don’t need spears. You can bring your own.”

“Old Ray, if there is no harvest this time you will have to eat horse grass for a few days.”The middle-aged man reminded.

Priory shook his head: “Get Ready to go.”

The middle-aged man looked at Dudian. There was a trace of dissatisfaction in his eyes but he didn’t say anything. Priory was the leader of the team. He just had to make sure that he wouldn’t return empty handed.

Everyone entered the tunnel one after another. It didn’t take long before they came to the entrance of the tunnel which was blocked by rocks. There were two groups of people guarding the entrance, there were about a dozen people in each group. They were sleeping on the ground.

Dudian glanced at the clothes of the two groups of people. They carried a lot of tools. There were hunting nets, huge wooden frames, spears, swords and other weapons.

Priory was familiar with the way. He came to another open space and asked everyone to rest.

Dudian asked about the two groups of people. Priory explained in a low voice: “They are the 3rd and 5th hunting teams. They mainly hunt small beasts in the south of the wilderness. It has nothing to do with us.”

Dudian was curious. He asked a few more questions and found out that their hunting teams were responsible for different areas. Priory was mainly responsible for the Blue Fish Lake, the Blue Fish Lake was originally found by Priory’s grandfather so it was assigned to him by the Great God. It was passed down from generation to generation and now it fell to Priory. The others wanted to go to the Blue Fish Lake to hunt, they had to join Priory’s hunting team. Priory would get one-tenth of the profits.

Dudian was surprised by such a regulation. It was quite a perfect contract. He didn’t expect that it would be implemented in this backward and poor place. However it did improve the efficiency.

“Old Ray, are you going to go out tomorrow?”A middle-aged man who was about the same age as priory walked out from the group. It seemed that he was familiar with priory, “Are you going to lead so many people this time?”

Priory laughed: “How are you going to prepare this time?”

“What are you talking about? No matter how good the preparation is, it depends on the weather.”The man smiled as he looked at the crowd, “I heard that you brought the outsider to hunt. Isn’t he strong?”

Priory replied: “He is several times stronger than you.”

“Haha, he is indeed stronger than me.”The man laughed.

Dudian glanced at the two of them. He leaned against the wall and closed his eyes. He was waiting for tomorrow’s Hunt.

Time passed by quickly. By eight or nine o’clock everyone was falling asleep. The sound of snoring rose and fell in the tunnel. They didn’t know how much time had passed in the darkness, a rough voice shouted: “Get Up! It’s Time!”

Dudian woke up from his shallow sleep. He opened his eyes and saw that the others had also woken up.

The one who spoke was a desolate general. The rock at the entrance of the tunnel had been pushed open by a gap.

Priore woke up as well. He patted the people who were still asleep. He pulled everyone up and said: “Get Ready, Let’s go.”

Everyone quickly packed their things and followed priore out of the cave.

In the blink of an eye, three groups of people went to their own hunting spots.

The Sky was dark and the faint light shone from the clouds. Dudian smelled the unique humidity and freshness of the morning in the wilderness. He felt that all the pores on his body were slightly relaxed. His consciousness was exceptionally clear. He held Aisha’s hand, he followed priory over the woods. After walking for a while, he came to the Blue Lake. The lake was as calm as a mirror. It was blue and beautiful.

The eyes of the others lit up when they saw the Blue Lake. They wanted to go up and do something.

Dudian sniffed the air. He could smell the smell of blood. He looked around and saw a few messy monster’s paw prints in the distance. It seemed that other monsters had come here in the past few days, it seemed that they had experienced a fierce battle.

“It seems that this water source is a good place to attract monsters.”Dudian thought. At this time, priory came to Dudian’s side and asked: “Benefactor, we have limited time. We only have two hours. What do you plan to do?”

Dudian knew that time was tight so he didn’t waste time: “Go to the shallow water where you went last time. Listen to my command and dig a deep hole. We will lead the fish to the hole and then concentrate on fishing.”

Priory was a bit confused but he didn’t say much. After all he didn’t have any weapons so he could only listen to Dudian’s command. He turned around and called everyone to the shallow water where they went last time, he asked Dudian: “Where are we going to dig the hole?”

Dudian pointed at the shallow lake: “Make a hole here and dig a hole here. Everyone start to dig. The hole will be two meters deep and will extend to about ten meters.”

Priory saw Dudian’s gesture. Although he had never thought of this method but he knew that it was very feasible. He called everyone, “Everyone is ready. Let’s do as Mr. Dean said.”The first person to carry a shovel came to the edge of the lake and quickly dug.

The others looked at each other and followed him to dig.

The other seven or eight people holding spears looked at each other when they saw priory and the others’actions. They were at a loss. They did not know whether to help or wait.

Soon, the middle-aged man who had warned priory earlier turned around and left first. He came to another foothold by the shallow lake and stabbed a fish into the water with his spear. Soon, he stabbed a fish and put it into the basket.

Other people saw that he had made a harvest and immediately surrounded him. One after another, they found a foothold in the shallow water and poked the fish with a spear.

There were many small blue fish in the lake. They came to the lakeside when they saw people approaching. Some of the small fish jumped up and bit the tip of the spear. Their mouths were full of sharp teeth.

Dudian looked at these people but didn’t say anything. He looked at the middle of the lake from time to time. He was on guard against the monster fish that lurked over to attack them. At the same time, he came to the side of the forest and cut the trees with his knife, he cut them into small wooden sticks and used them to support the fishing net.

After a moment Dudian made a deep hole. Everyone had the physique of a hunter so the efficiency of digging the hole was very fast.

“Benefactor, what about now?”Priory wiped the sweat from his forehead. There was a trace of heat and tension in his eyes. He asked Dudian.

“Put the net here.”Dudian gestured for him to put the net horizontally into the deep pit.

The few of them worked together and fixed the net in the pit.

Dudian took the shovel from Priory’s hand and quickly opened the gap between the pit and the lake. The lake water slowly flowed into the deep pit. However the small blue fish were attracted by the fish, only a few small fish flowed into the deep hole along the lake water.

Dudian swung his sword and stabbed into the lake water. He picked up a small blue fish. He turned his wrist and cut the small fish into pieces. Blood flowed out and he threw the fish into the middle and the end, as he expected, the smell of blood stimulated the small fish. The surface of the lake was boiling and the small fish kept jumping.

As the lake water flowed, the small fish quickly rushed into the deep pit. Coincidentally, the opening of the fishing net in the deep pit was aimed at the mouth of the lake. All the small fish rushed into the net and swam toward the deep part of the net.

In less than a few minutes, the fishing net in the deep pit, which was two meters deep and ten meters long, was filled with the blue small fish and the lake water. The small fish inside surged. With a cursory glance, there were at least hundreds or thousands of them.

Priory and the other people who were digging the hole saw this scene. They were in a daze and couldn’t believe it.

Dudian saw that it was almost time. He said to priory: “Block the mouth of the lake.”

Priory reacted and asked the few people to carry shovels. They shovelled the soil into the mouth of the lake and filled the mouth of the lake.

The lake water stopped pouring in. The deep hole was full of fish and lake water. Dudian let priory continue to dig the hole at the end of the deep hole. He dug deeper so that the lake water would flow out.

Prier understood what Dudian said. The others also came to their senses. They were excited as they picked up shovels to dig. They felt that their blood was boiling.

Soon, the few of them worked together to dig a small pit. The water in the pit quickly flowed out and was absorbed by the soil. The fishing net in the deep pit quickly sank. There were only small blue fish struggling in the net.

Dudian looked at the time. It had only been an hour. He estimated that he could make another net.

“There are so many of them!”Priory looked at the blue fish struggling in the net because of the lack of oxygen. His eyes were wide open. He was so excited that he couldn’t control himself.

The others were also staring at them. They swallowed their saliva. It felt like a dream.

Dudian said: “Get ready to close the net. Pour out the ones inside and make another net.”

Priory couldn’t help but look at Dudian as he heard Dudian say that he wanted to throw another net. He subconsciously said: “I… I don’t think we have enough bags…”

“It’s alright. I have a way. You can go to the side and pick some big leaves. Put them under the net and use the net to drag them back.”Dudian said.
