In the blink of an eye, two days had passed, and it was time to meet Second Granduncle to subdue that raccoon.
Sun Cheng woke up early that day and even opened his shop for business for a while.
After a period of information, the Qing court had already sent a negotiating minister.
The news of the negotiations with France had already reached Shangxiang Town.
The border war that had lasted for more than two years was finally coming to an end.
The grain prices in Shangxiang Town also started to fall rapidly.
The amount of sweet potato flour sold in Sun Ji's grain store had dropped to one-third of what it was a month ago, and it was still decreasing every day.
From this, it could be seen that the people in Shangxiang Town were indeed not used to eating sweet potato noodles.
Previously, when she came to his shop to buy food, she was forced to the point where she would die if she did not eat it.
However, Sun Cheng didn't care at all. Their grain store didn't only have sweet potato flour as their only product.
Fresh sweet potatoes were sweet and delicious, and they had always sold well.
The large quantity and delicious sweet potato roast had recently replaced sweet potato flour as the new hot product of Sun Ji's grain store.
It just so happened that a few thousand acres of sweet potatoes had just matured in the world not long ago. Sun Cheng suddenly had tens of thousands of tons of sweet potatoes and sweet potatoes in his hands.
Now that the war was over, there was no longer a food crisis in Gui Province. Using it to make wine was also a good choice.
The sun was high up in the sky, and Zhu Dachang ran over with sweat all over his face.
" Ah Cheng, Ah Cheng…Second Granduncle asked me to call you…We should set off…"
Sun Cheng understood and knew that they were going to the Forest of Confusion.
He had finished off the raccoon dog that was no longer satisfied with eating dead people's flesh and had started killing people.
He nodded. After quickly dealing with the things that the two customers wanted, he went upstairs to change his clothes.
He also brought some sweet potato bread and took out the meat and pickles that the little maids had prepared from the inner world.
Then, he followed Zhu Dachang and locked the door of the grain store before walking out.
When they arrived at Bliss, Second Granduncle was already prepared.
Because Second Granduncle was old, his physical strength was not as good as the two of them.
Zhu Dachang pushed the cart out of the Bliss and let Second Granduncle sit on it. He was strong enough to pull the cart.
The three of them quickly left Shangxiang Town. The more they walked, the more bumpy it became.
After walking for about ten miles, Sun Cheng saw that Zhu Dachang was already drenched in sweat, so he took the initiative to request for a change of position and let him pull the carriage instead.
After walking for another two hours, it was around three in the afternoon.
Sun Cheng and the others had reached their destination, the Confusion Forest!
The Forest of Confusion was the name given to it by the villagers nearby. The forest did not actually occupy a large area, only about six to seven square kilometers.
However, because the forest was full of lush trees, and they were all similar trees.
Once someone accidentally entered this forest, they would lose their sense of direction and get lost.
It was said that in the past, there were people who were trapped here and even died without finding a way out.
As time passed, the term trance forest came into being.
"Second Granduncle, it's still early. You should rest first before we go in!”
Sun Cheng looked up at the sky and turned to his second granduncle, who had just been helped out of the car by Zhu Dachang.
Even walking was difficult on this journey. Sitting on the cart was constantly bumpy, but it was not much more comfortable than walking.
Second Granduncle nodded weakly." Alright, let's rest first!”
"Yes!"
Sun Cheng opened the package he had brought and took out a wine gourd and handed it to Second Great Uncle.
"Second Granduncle, drink a few sips of wine to relax!”
The three of them did not eat lunch at noon, so they felt a little hungry now.
Hence, Sun Cheng took out some dry rations and distributed them. He also took out the braised meat and pickles that the maidservants had prepared.
The three of them took fifteen minutes to finish eating. After resting for a while, they felt better.
"Let's go, we should go in!"
Second Great Uncle changed into a Daoist robe and put all the magic tools and props he needed into a basket for Zhu Dachang to carry.
In this wilderness, the handcart was still at the edge of the Forest of Confusion, so there was no need to worry about it being stolen.
The three of them quickly walked into the dense forest ahead.
They had only walked for a few dozen meters when the three of them felt as if they had arrived at night.
The dense branches and leaves of the trees above them blocked out almost all the sunlight.
"Second Granduncle, it's so dark here!"
This was Zhu Dachang's first time coming to this Forest of Confusion, and he could not help but be very surprised.
"Be careful, don't get distracted! It was said that the raccoon was hiding in this forest. Don't let it ambush you.”
"Got it, Second Granduncle!"
The three of them were not very familiar with the Forest of Confusion. They searched aimlessly for more than two hours.
Seeing that the already dim lighting in the forest was getting dimmer, everyone knew that the sun had set.
"Searching aimlessly like this isn't a solution!”
Second Uncle was old and weak, and he could not bear it first.
The moment he opened his mouth, Zhu Dachang, who had already lost his excitement, was a little discouraged." Then, Second Great Uncle, what do you think we should do?" He couldn't let it run out on its own, right?”
Needless to say, his words inspired Second Uncle.
He patted his head and smiled." Yeah, let it come out on its own." Cheng, do you still have strength?"
Sun Cheng smiled and nodded. With the constant feedback from his inner world, his physical fitness was already several times stronger than ordinary people.
Some time ago, the Inner world had devoured a mineral vein that weighed hundreds of thousands of tons.
The Inner world that had expanded once again had begun to continuously feed Sun Cheng in the past few days.
Currently, he felt that his physical fitness was improving rapidly every day.
Moreover, Sun Cheng had already practiced martial arts for a few years. Even if he were to struggle for a few more hours, he would not feel tired.
"Alright, go and find a way to catch an animal. We'll let out our blood to lure that beast out!”
"Alright, leave it to me!"
Sun Cheng agreed and left. The Forest of Confusion could trap ordinary people, but it was nothing to cultivators.
This was also the reason why Second Granduncle asked him to hunt for prey instead of Zhu Dachang, who had yet to start cultivating.
Sun Cheng's luck was pretty good. After searching for a while, he encountered two rabbits moving together.
He took out two small stones from his inner world. With a flick of his wrist, the two stones flew out one after another and hit the two rabbits.
Sun Cheng walked over and picked up two fat rabbits.
He estimated that one of them was about four catties, and the other was about five catties. It should be enough.
Just as he was about to turn around, he suddenly felt a strong wind coming towards him.
Sun Cheng subconsciously dodged and looked in the direction of the voice.
Not far away, on the branch of a tree that was more than ten meters tall, stood an old gray-white monkey.
The old monkey was looking at him with a smile. It was obvious that it was the one who threw the thing at him.
"Consider yourself unlucky!"
Sun Cheng flipped his hand, and a stone from his inner world flew out and hit the monkey's head.
The old monkey screamed and fell to the ground. He walked up to take a look and saw that it was also dead like the two rabbits.
Sun Cheng then carried the three prey and went around in circles, returning to where Second Granduncle and the others were.
"The harvest is not bad. We can roast two rabbits and eat them. As for the monkey, he would use it as bait!”
Zhu Dachang greeted him with a smile when he saw him return.
Sun Cheng nodded. He took the things and began to deal with them.
"Cheng, skin the monkey and let it bleed. Since the raccoon has started attacking living people, it will be very sensitive to the smell of blood. Zhu Dachang, collect the rabbit's internal organs and intestines and use them as bait for the monkey!”
"Good!"
Sun Cheng and Zhu Dachang got busy. In a short while, the trap and two roasted rabbits were ready.
