Chapter 182: Envious_1
"It’s wolves," Gu Yao’s face changed, "Wolves always appear in packs, let’s hurry..." Although they were already at the foot of the mountain, no one could assure that the wolves wouldn’t come down. Years ago, there was an incident where a child was devoured by wolves that had descended from the mountains.
Gu Yao had made no secret of his presence in the village from the start. In fact, when asked what he was doing there earlier, he even gave an answer. So, when a group of young men were seen bringing a large creature down from the mountain, it immediately sent shockwaves through the entire village.
Everyone knew that the Gu Family’s second son was adept at hunting. They had often seen him return with wild chickens and mountain goats, but no one had expected him to come back with a Black Bear this time. That creature was quite valuable.
Therefore, upon seeing the people who had helped, everyone began to calculate in their minds. If they had known earlier, they would have mingled more with the Gu Family’s people. Look, even a bit of assistance might have earned them a share of the meat. How great it would be if their own family members had joined in?
Thus, some began to get chummy with Gu Yao, and there were even those who asked if he needed more people to help.
Gu Yao just shook his head and declined with a smile.
Those who were rejected mostly just smiled it off. After all, this was an opportunity to take advantage without giving anything in return; people understood and let it go when Gu Yao refused.
