Chapter 48: Falling Down the Valley

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Deep in the mountains.

He Yufeng looked up at the sky. This was the sixth hour since he fell into the valley.

During these twelve hours, he had been trying to save himself, but he had never succeeded.

He Yufeng was a little disappointed that he did not catch any valuable prey this time. If he could not hunt anything valuable in the next two months, their family would not be able to survive this winter!

In the blink of an eye, six days had passed. He had finished all the dry rations he had brought. Although there was a lot of food on the mountain and he would not starve to death even if he did not go back, he had never gone out to hunt for more than seven days in the past. This time, he had not given any instructions when he went out. If he went back later, the children would definitely be anxious!

He Yufeng was indignant, but for the sake of his children, he still took the prey he had hunted previously and walked back. He thought that this would be it this time, but who knew that the heavens would favor him and let him meet a deer?

It was really as the saying went. When a person was lucky, it only took a

second!

The wealthy families in the city liked to drink fresh deer blood. It was said to have the effect of prolonging life. Fresh deer blood was very beneficial to middle-aged men. As long as they drank deer blood, they would definitely return to their young state.

In short, both venison flesh and venison blood were very valuable.

He Yufeng calculated in his heart. If he could capture this deer alive, he might not even have to go out to hunt for the next few months!

He rubbed his palms together, looking eager to make a move.

However, the deer was not as stupid as other prey. It had its own judgment, and its body was agile. It was not so easy to catch it.

Therefore, He Yufeng carefully thought of all kinds of feasible methods.

Deer loved to eat tender branches and saplings. As long as he predicted the direction in which the deer walked in advance and made the deer let down its guard, wouldn’t it be easy to catch the deer if he laid an ambush in advance?

The young branches and saplings in the south were especially lush. If he was a deer, he would definitely go to that place to eat!

However, the area to the south was a little dangerous. There was a valley right next to it. If one was not careful, they would fall into the valley.

At this moment, the deer was already walking south. He Yufeng had to lay in ambush before the deer went over. Otherwise, everything would be ruined.

Danger and opportunity coexisted. Without hesitation, He Yufeng crouched down and walked south. He found a place that was good for hiding and attacking.

The deer came with its graceful gait.

He Yufeng held his breath, afraid that something would go wrong. Seeing that the time was right, He Yufeng moved.

He took the hunting tools he had prepared in advance and was about to capture the deer alive when a group of wild boars appeared beside him.

He Yufeng sensed danger. He stopped catching the deer and turned his head to see the wild boar that had suddenly appeared.

The wild boar in the lead looked very familiar, especially like the wild boar he had caught last time.

The wild boar: .

The wild boars shared the same face, but now he’s saying that it looks familiar?

The appearance of the wild boars was too sudden. Before He Yufeng could dodge, he was sent flying by the wild boars.

The sudden change scared away the deer that had planned to eat grass.

After fighting for a while, He Yufeng was outnumbered because the wild boars were too strong. In the end, he was knocked into the valley by the wild boars.

The valley was not very high, but it was filled with rocks below. If one fell from above, they would either die or be half-dead.

Fortunately, He Yufeng was lucky and was blocked by some vines several times, so he did not die directly after falling.

However, his condition was not very good. Because he had fallen from a high place, his legs and waist were injured.

Now that his lower body did not react at all, it was difficult for him to even crawl, let alone stand up and walk.

“Is anyone there?” He Yufeng tried to call for help, but the only response he got was the echo of birds chirping.

He knew it was futile, but he still wanted to give it a try.

Although very few people came to the deep mountains, it was not that there was no one. The hunters in the village still came to take a look occasionally. After a long time, there was no movement at all. He Yufeng was in despair!

Was he going to wait for death like this?

If he had died in the past, so be it. But now, there were two children at home. What if he died?

Was he to have hopes on that woman, Su Li?

He Yufeng rejected this idea in his heart. He was sure that as long as he died, that woman might celebrate and run away with the things at home.

As for the children, they had always been a burden to her, so it was impossible for her to take them away!

Even if he had to crawl, he had to crawl out…

He Yufeng endured the pain and crawled out with all his might.

The sun gradually rose, and the three people in the straw hut slept soundly.

In the end, because the sunlight shone into Su Li’s eyes, she was forced to open her eyes.

The children’s illness came and left quickly. When he woke up, the two boys were in high spirits, as if they were not the ones who had a fever last night.

He Qingyao and He Qingmu were really hungry. They even drank all the broth. Su Li gave them a few instructions and even arranged a study plan for today.

“Did you hear that?”

He Qingyao and He Qingmu replied obediently, “Yes!”

Su Li carried the hoe to the backyard to loosen the soil. The soil in the backyard was not very good, so the vegetables at the back did not grow well!

If she didn’t work hard as a gardener, the things she planted in her backyard would definitely be fruitless.

Su Li was working while He Qingyao and He Qingmu moved the things they needed to learn to the entrance of the courtyard. This way, the first thing He Yufeng would see when he returned was them!

“Big Brother, when is Father coming back?” He Qingmu asked.

In fact, He Qingyao was not too sure either, but he said with a serious expression, “When the sun sets.”

He Qingmu believed his words without a doubt, so the brothers waited from sunrise to sunset, but He Yufeng never appeared in front of them.

“Why isn’t Father back yet? It’s almost dark!” He Qingmu looked worried.

He Qingyao craned his neck to look over and comforted himself. “Maybe Daddy will be back soon.”

Su Li brought the prepared food to the table and realized that He Qingyao and He Qingmu were still guarding the door.

“Let’s go in and eat. Your father is already an adult. He’ll come back by himself.”

He Qingyao and He Qingmu lowered their heads and entered the house. The two of them were no longer as energetic as before.

Suddenly, they heard footsteps.

“Daddy must be back.”

The brothers hurriedly rushed out, and Su Li quickly followed.

Outside the door were the villagers who had come down from the mountain. The brothers were even more depressed. Even the meat in their bowls was no longer fragrant!

Su Li couldn’t bear to see them like this and said, “Alright, I’ll go up the mountain to look tomorrow. I’ll definitely find your father.”

The first thing she did when she found He Yufeng was to point at his nose and give him a good lecture..
