Chapter 528: Chapter 528: Jungle Career

Ah Gui blinked his eyes in shock, "Could it be that last night you guys again..."

"No, no." Junjun hurriedly waved his hand, "We didn’t do anything, exactly because we did nothing. That’s why we were curious if you had any unusual encounters last night."

Ah Fu and Ah Gui then breathed a sigh of relief, "It’s good that you did nothing, we didn’t have any strange encounters, just honestly slept and honestly woke up, as long as you follow the rules at Three-Branch Junction and don’t mess around, nothing will happen."

"Yes, yes, you make sense," Junjun agreed with a nod. Then he exchanged looks with Li Wenli, and it was clear that only the two of them had seen those two snakes last night.

However, that made sense—if others had found snakes in their rooms, there wouldn’t be the calm that existed now, they would likely have screamed and run out of their rooms already.

It seemed the snake posed no real threat, just quietly monitoring to see if there was any unusual activity and disappear once it confirmed everything was normal. Of course, it might not have truly disappeared; perhaps it just became invisible and continued to observe from the shadows.

Nevertheless, however it was put, Junjun and his companions had managed to refrain from any disruptions, so the night passed uneventfully.

Junjun didn’t bring up this incident, considering that Ah Fu and Ah Gui would still need to return there, letting them know that a strange snake could be watching while they slept might render them sleepless in the future.

Thanks to Junjun not mentioning it, Ah Fu and Ah Gui continued to be cheerful on their journey.

Since they still had many days of wilderness travel ahead, for Fu Gui, it was another delightful adventure for wilderness survival.

The Second Prince’s territory lay in the heart of the Central Plains, which was different from the coastal Eastern Land, transitioning from forests to plains.

The plains also meant there were lots of fertile lands.

Yet, what they saw along the way was more often desolate wilderness.

In ancient times, the population base was small, and with three years of war, the Central Plains were among the most severely affected; not only devastated by warfare, but the common people suffered displacement severely.

However, it’s said that in these three years, the Second Prince heroically stabilized the declining situation. Apart from the desolate lands, several cities recovered quite well, especially Ying County, the Second Prince’s former domain.

This place was one of the quickest to revive.

Their destination this trip was Ying County, where they planned to stock up on food before continuing their ten-day journey to the Old Imperial Capital.

Reaching the plains, they saw more animals, which flourished due to low human disturbance; each one was fat and healthy.

This became a hunting paradise for the Seven-Person Team, especially for Lingyu and Sasa.

Previously, they learned how to use a slingshot from the Qiu family, but they were terribly unskilled.

Now their master shifted from Qiu Er and Qiu San to Ah Dao. With a professional as their teacher, their improvement was incredibly rapid.

Especially Sasa, who was naturally strong, her launched small stones were like bullets. If others could hit a target at a hundred steps, she could do it at a thousand.

Ah Dao had found new fun in training Sasa’s accuracy.

There was no choice; his own son was constantly sticking close to Junjun, and if he didn’t shift his focus a bit, he might wallow in his own moroseness.

So, in these eight days, they never worried about food, encountering wild rabbits, deer, and even wild boars.

The tops of the horse carriages were covered with many furs.

Ah Fu and Ah Gui laughed, saying once they sold them for money, they would give some to Miss Sasa.

That delighted Sasa immensely; she hadn’t thought she could earn money through her own efforts.
