Rising Reputation

"No, Mother doesn't want silver, doesn't want clothes, Er Gou, please don't take risks, okay?"

Zhang Chunhua was sobbing slightly, tears welling up again uncontrollably.

When the villagers heard that Chen Xuan had hunted a Wild Boar, they were incredulous, shocked, and full of praise. But all Zhang Chunhua felt was worry.

Hunting a Wild Boar, even if Zhang Chunhua didn't know how difficult it was, she knew it was extremely risky. As a mother, she least wanted her son to be in danger.

Chen Xuan going up the mountain to hunt had already made her very worried, and now he had actually hunted a Wild Boar, which made the worry in her heart completely erupt.

He gently held his mother until Zhang Chunhua gradually calmed down.

Only then did Chen Xuan separate, looking at his mother seriously.

Looking at Chen Xuan's gaze, Zhang Chunhua couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

And while she was in a daze.

Chen Xuan's firm words rang out.

"Mother, we want to find Father, find Elder Brother, I want our whole family to be reunited and live a good life!"

His voice was still a little childish, but the words he spoke at this moment made Zhang Chunhua's body tremble slightly.

"Family!"

Zhang Chunhua subconsciously repeated the word.

"Yes, our family will be reunited and live a good life outside, but Elder Brother and Father were conscripted. To find them, we have to go into the city. I need silver, a lot of silver."

"Does Mother believe me?"

Chen Xuan nodded and slowly explained.

Of course, he wasn't deceiving his mother.

Having transmigrated here, after living for these past few months, he had completely accepted this family and his mother.

He knew very well that his mother missed the father of this body and his Elder Brother all the time. If possible, he would definitely find them.

Looking at Chen Xuan's gaze.

Zhang Chunhua opened her mouth.

Finally, it turned into a soft whisper.

"Mother, I believe you!"

Zhang Chunhua's voice was very low, but at this moment, Chen Xuan heard it clearly.

"Mother, don't worry, I will take good care of myself!"

Chen Xuan spoke again seriously.

Listening to Chen Xuan's words, Zhang Chunhua finally nodded gently.

Then the mother and son walked back home. At the courtyard entrance, Xiao Shitou had already happily run out and threw himself into Chen Xuan's arms.

Smiling lightly, he picked up Xiao Shitou and walked back into the house.

Evening.

In the small courtyard.

Arrows whizzed through the air.

Beside them, Chen Er Zhuang was shooting arrows with effort.

Of course, while shooting, Chen Er Zhuang would occasionally look at Chen Xuan, his eyes filled with nothing but admiration.

"Remember, archery is about the hand, the eye, and the heart. Feel your own sensations!"

"Three points in a line!"

Beside him, Chen Xuan was seriously instructing. He didn't hide anything from his cousin, even using his Conceptual Ability for him.

The effect was also extremely obvious.

In just a few months, Chen Er Zhuang's archery skills had completely reached the introductory level.

Next would be minor accomplishment.

However, it was clear that to reach minor accomplishment, Chen Er Zhuang would need significantly more time than him.

Of course, even so, Chen Er Zhuang was extremely excited. He had learned for a few days at Zhang Shan's house, and in his opinion, Zhang Shan simply didn't teach as well as his cousin.

Moreover, Zhang Shan definitely wasn't as capable as his cousin; his cousin could hunt Wild Boars.

This made him feel nothing but respect and admiration for Chen Xuan.

Night gradually deepened.

Chen Er Zhuang left, feeling tired.

Chen Xuan walked into his room and continued setting things up.

Target: Find Father, Elder Brother (to be confirmed)

The night passed without a word.

A new day arrived, and Chen Xuan went hunting in the mountains as usual.

However, this time he didn't choose to hunt fierce beasts like Wild Boars. Instead, he just hunted a goat and returned home.

Although he needed to quickly acquire enough money to go to the city.

Hunting a Wild Boar or fierce beast every day was too conspicuous and exaggerated on one hand, and on the other hand, fierce beasts like Wild Boars weren't that easy to hunt. Although setting it could create a path, the difficulty would also change based on existing conditions. Just like on this second day, the difficulty of hunting a Wild Boar was undoubtedly much greater, and in the end, Chen Xuan directly chose to give up.

Fortunately, soon after, the system's setting had another opportunity.

On the fourth day, Chen Xuan returned again after hunting a Wild Boar from the mountain.

Although the size of this Wild Boar was not as large as the first one, it still weighed around two hundred catties.

Looking at the Wild Boar that was dragged back, the villagers couldn't help but open their mouths wide again.

Even Zhang Shan in the crowd widened his eyes, filled with disbelief.

"It really is a Wild Boar!"

"How did he do it!"

Zhang Shan muttered to himself.

The first time, he was still somewhat in disbelief.

He knew Chen Xuan. Before, Chen Xuan was still learning archery from him. His talent felt very ordinary, and he had only learned for a few days. He hadn't even finished teaching him archery, let alone how to hunt.

Yet, in just a few months, Chen Xuan not only learned to hunt but also managed to hunt a Wild Boar.

This was a Wild Boar.

Having hunted a Wild Boar himself before, he naturally knew how difficult these things were to deal with.

Bows and arrows simply couldn't inflict a fatal wound on them.

The last time they hunted a Wild Boar, it was because there were many people. He used a bow and arrow to injure the Wild Boar's eye, then they dug a trap, and finally, everyone used spears to stab it to death.

But at this moment, it was just Chen Xuan alone, and he managed to hunt a Wild Boar.

This made Zhang Shan's worldview somewhat shaken.

Of course, at this moment, it wasn't just Zhang Shan among the crowd who was shocked.

The entire village was undoubtedly shaken again.

If the first time hunting a Wild Boar, everyone was still somewhat suspicious, somewhat skeptical, and some even suspected that Chen Xuan was just incredibly lucky and simply stumbled upon it.

Even if that possibility was almost negligible.

But for them to believe that Chen Xuan could hunt a Wild Boar was truly unacceptable to them.

But when Chen Xuan returned with a Wild Boar for the second time, all that suspicion and skepticism completely disappeared.

The first one could be luck, but what about this second one?

And this time, the impact on the villagers was even no less than the first time.

As a result, Chen Xuan's reputation in the village instantly became well-known.

In the evening, some villagers even came to visit directly.

As for the purpose, of course, it was to ask if their children could follow Chen Xuan to learn hunting.

After Zhang Shan's incident, many villagers had already asked their children to follow him to learn. There was even less need to mention Chen Xuan; this was a hunter who could hunt Wild Boars.

As for these requests from the villagers, Chen Xuan declined them all.

He would teach Chen Er Zhuang because Second Uncle's family had indeed helped their family a great deal. When he first transmigrated, it was also Chen Er Zhuang who saved him despite the danger. He didn't have much interest in others, nor did he have much time.

As for the reason for refusal, it was simple: he didn't have much time right now. Teaching was possible, but wait until next year.

As for whether he would still be in Small River Village next year, that was not something he needed to consider.
