Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

These hunters had to rely on traps to hunt wild boars; even bows were ineffective. The boars’ skin was thick and unless they used a Strong Bow or hit a vital spot, they could only inflict minor injuries.

Achieving a spear thrust through the throat like this was something they simply couldn’t do.

“Let’s proceed!”

With a wave of his hand, the men behind Jiang Cheng immediately brought ropes to tie up the two big wild boars and then carried them down the mountain.

Although Yang Zhengshan had not slept all night, thanks to the Spiritual Spring Water, he was still very spirited.

Village men like them were very strong, easily carrying wild boars weighing over 300 pounds without much effort.

But of course, their speed couldn’t match that of being unburdened. When they returned to Jiang Family Village, it was already past eight in the evening.

“Dad!”

“Dad, you aren’t hurt, are you?”

As soon as they returned to the Jiang home, Yang Mingcheng and Yang Yunyan came up to greet them.

Yang Zhenshan looked at his eldest daughter blankly and commented that his two adopted daughters were both quite beautiful, resembling their mother, who had bright eyes and white teeth. Although the two adopted daughters weren’t great beauties, they were definitely pleasant to look at.

“I’m fine!” Yang Zhenshan waved his hand.

Yang Yunyan kept bringing him towels and water, which made Yang Zhenshan feel a bit embarrassed.

These daughters came so easily; he really wasn’t quite used to it.

“Father-in-law, the wild boars have already been loaded onto the cart!” said Jiang He as he approached.

Yang Zhenshan didn’t linger any longer. He simply thanked them and left the Jiang family with his two sons after leaving behind two young wild boars.

The two young wild boars weighed nearly one hundred pounds in total, a token of gratitude for the help from the Jiang family.

Jiang He didn’t decline. This was a custom in Jiang Family Village: help in the mountains must be rewarded; otherwise, no one would be willing to help without compensation.

If it were only his own family, he could help for free, but this time his third brother’s family also helped, so they couldn’t refuse the reward.

Returning to the Yang family home, they were inevitably met with surprises.

Both Ms. Wang and the Li family were delighted to see the two large wild boars.

After finding out that Yang Zhenshan’s injuries were healed, Ms. Wang’s smile stretched from ear to ear.

His youngest daughter, Yang Yunxue, looked at Yang Zhenshan with shining eyes full of admiration, filling him with a sense of accomplishment.

“Grandpa is so awesome!”

“Big wild boars, big wild boars!”

His two grandsons cheered joyfully.

Not just his own family, but even the neighbors were stirred up.

“Uncle Zhengshan, did you catch these?”

“Is Uncle Zhengshan’s body healed?”

Even in the middle of the night, many people came to see the two large wild boars.

There were no hunters in Yang Family Village, and there wasn’t much game in the mountains behind the village, so almost no one went hunting there.

Yang Zhenshan hunting the two wild boars was definitely a matter worth talking about excitedly in Yang Family Village.

Plus, with Yang Zhenshan’s health restored and the village having an additional Martial Artist, it was truly good news for the Yang Family.

The excitement lasted until midnight, and then the neighbors finally left.

After staying awake for two days and a night, Yang Zhenshan felt exhausted. The moment he lay on the kang (traditional heated bed) and his head touched the pillow, he fell asleep.

The next morning, Yang Zhenshan went with his son Yang Mingcheng to the county town in a cart.

As soon as the two large wild boars entered the market, they attracted quite a bit of attention, and soon a middle-aged man in a blue long robe approached the cart.

Yang Zhenshan eyed the man before him.

The man was dressed in a blue long robe and had a long beard with a well-nourished appearance, which indicated he was likely from a wealthy family.

He was identified as being from a wealthy family rather than a rich and noble one because the Da Rong Dynasty had strict regulations regarding the attire of commoners.

Commoners were allowed to use silk, gauze, satin, and cloth for their clothes, avoiding dark, purple, green, willow yellow, ginger yellow, and bright yellow colors. They could use ochre, blue, and blue-green.
