Chapter 30 Encountering Robbers, Wang Long Gets Caught in the Trap.

The next day, Lin Chuan woke up as soon as the rooster crowed.

Originally intending to rest, but unable to fall asleep, she simply got up with Lin Feng.

"Brother, why are you up? Didn't you say you weren't going today?"

"I can't sleep, I'll go with you to collect the cages, it'll be faster with more people."

The two brothers stood in a row, shook themselves a few times in unison, and then walked towards the river.

When they arrived, they found that Wang Long and Wang Liang had already come.

"What time did you arrive? Why are you here so early?"

"I came early because I was worried about causing delays on the first day."

Lin Chuan didn't say anything more. With the two of them joining, the speed increased significantly.

At 5:30, all the large fish were selected and bagged, weighing nearly 300 jin (150 kg).

The three new fish traps they made yesterday were larger than the first ones, and they were placed in river pits they had never used before. Surprisingly, the traps overflowed.

The three cages yielded a catch of over two hundred points, and together with the previous three cages, they yielded a catch of over one hundred points.

Lin Chuan's harvest points broke through the 800 mark, reaching 804.

Lin Chuan didn't participate in the lottery yet. Seeing this number made him itchy and greedy, wanting to try his luck at what the thousand-yuan tier was like.

After watching the three leave, Lin Chuan took his bow and arrows and disappeared into the woods.

……

The boys were full of energy, and the three of them rode their bikes, chasing each other and shouting as they headed towards the county town.

Around eight o'clock, the three of them could see the county town in the distance.

"It's the last section, charge! Whoever gets to the city first will be the best."

Wang Liang shouted and sped forward a considerable distance, with Lin Feng and Wang Long quickly following suit.

Although the wager was simply "the best," being the best is the best testament to youth. None of the three were willing to back down, so they pushed forward with all their might.

Wang Liang, taking advantage of his first start, was several meters ahead of the other two. He was laughing wildly and turning his head to make faces at them.

Suddenly, he saw the two people's expressions change drastically, and they both shouted at him urgently:

"careful."

When he turned around, he discovered that two people had suddenly appeared on the road, which had been deserted and empty of cars.

The key point is that the two men each held a tree trunk about the thickness of a bowl, which they held at an angle and blocked the middle of the road.

Wang Liang panicked immediately. Although he was too exhausted to drive very fast, it was too late to brake now.

Before he could react, he crashed his bike into a tree trunk and tumbled to the ground.

Lin Feng, who ranked second, didn't fare much better; he also ended up with his car overturned and him falling over.

Wang Long, however, managed to ride past them during the brief moment they bumped into each other.

But he felt no joy. Anyone with a brain would know that this sudden encounter was ill-intentioned.

He dared not stop. He remembered Lin Chuan saying that if you encounter something you can't solve, go to the police.

But then a third person appeared from the roadside, brandishing a pistol and shouting:

"Stop right there, or I'll shoot."

Seeing that the other person didn't stop, he frowned and shouted again:

"If you leave again, your two brothers are doomed."

Upon hearing this, the bicycle, which had already traveled dozens of meters, finally stopped.

Seeing the car stop, the gunman smiled and said to Lin Feng and Wang Liang:

"You guys are really loyal."

Lin Feng and Wang Liang struggled desperately, but as they fell to the ground, stunned, they were immediately tied up and gagged, unable to say anything.

It could only whimper into the distance, trying to signal Wang Long to hurry up and leave.

Wang Long parked his car some distance away, his mind racing. He could walk; from this distance, the other party couldn't do much to him.

But if he really left, he didn't dare to think about what might happen to Wang Liang and Lin Feng.

He frantically racked his brains for a solution, and suddenly remembered a trick Lin Chuan had told them yesterday: get involved yourself.

Then he rode his bike back.

"Brothers, don't shoot! We're on the same side!"

"Interesting," the gunman muttered to himself with a smile, then said to the other two:

"Pack your things and hide first, so no one sees you."

As Wang Long approached, the man with the gun pointed it at him.

"Kid, tell me what you mean by 'one of us'."

"Big brother."

Wang Long smiled obsequiously but did not answer the question first. He got out of the car and pushed it into the bushes to hide it.

He saw from afar that Wang Liang and Lin Chuan's cars had also been dealt with in the same way. After hiding his car, he walked up to the man with the gun and knelt down.

"Big brother, I've been waiting for you for so long."

Wang Long originally wanted to cling to the man with the gun, just like in the comic book, but unfortunately, the man with the gun kicked him away.

Wang Long didn't mind, got up and continued:

"Brother, to be honest, we've had enough of this life of working from dawn till dusk and not having enough to eat."

Unfortunately, we are all incompetent and cannot find a way out.

The moment I saw my older brother, my heart sank.

What we really need is a capable leader like you, brother.

"Brother, please take us in. We promise to be obedient and do whatever you say. All we ask for is a decent meal."

"Interesting," the gunman grinned, pondered for a moment, and then said to Wang Long:

"Then go to the county town and find out about the police's movements. Come back here and report to me before sunset tonight."

"Big brother, what about my two brothers?"

"If you listen to me, they'll be fine. But if you try anything clever, I guarantee they'll suffer a terrible fate."

After explaining some more details to Wang Long, the man with the gun waved his hand, signaling him to set off.

Wang Long found his bicycle, gritted his teeth, and rode off towards the county town.

"Second brother, this kid never tells the truth. Will it cause trouble if we let him go?"

"This kid is a bit cunning, but he had a chance to run away, didn't he?"

The police are now controlling the area everywhere, and we dare not show our faces at all.

Since this kid talks about youthful loyalty, no matter how cunning he is, he can't cause any trouble while his two brothers are still in our hands.

At this point, the man with the gun gave a wry smile:

"We didn't have a better choice."

Regardless of what the gunman thought, Wang Long rode his bike towards the county town, his heart pounding.

There was tension, lingering fear, a hint of smug satisfaction at having succeeded in his plan, and admiration for Lin Chuan.

His move stemmed from a story Lin Chuan told yesterday: if you can't beat someone, join them and get involved yourself.

Lin Chuan had no idea that the third-rate novel plot he haphazardly recounted would become Wang Long's guiding light.

He was currently walking through the woods, searching for traces of wild boars, but after two hours he had found nothing.

Lin Chuan had no choice but to head deeper into the fir forest towards Eagle's Beak Cliff, where he knew there were wild boar dens.

As the saying goes, perseverance pays off. An hour later, Lin Chuan finally spotted the wild boar.

He pulled out the wooden pole and iron arrow that he had tied before setting off. The wooden pole was not yet dry and was still quite heavy, but for Lin Chuan, it was just a matter of a little more effort.

"Whoosh, buzz."

The arrow and the bowstring rang out simultaneously, and before the wild boar could react, the arrow was already piercing its head.

The pure iron arrow, propelled by the wooden pole, pierced directly through the wild boar's skull. It rolled over and struggled a few times, staggered a few meters, and then collapsed to the ground.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Lin Chuan fired another arrow.

[One wild boar harvested, harvest points +262.]

[One wild boar harvested, harvest points +198.]

Harvest Points: 1264.
