Woof woof!
Barking while staring wide-eyed at Chen Yang, as if asking Chen Yang if he was serious.
The expression on this guy's face really amused Chen Yang.
"Of course it's true. How could I lie to you about this?" Chen Yang laughed as he patted Wangcai on the head.
As soon as Wangcai realized it was true, he ran around the yard like he was full of life.
His state of mind was completely different from before, like two different dogs.
"I really didn't see that you'd turn out to be such a romantic." Chen Yang shook his head with a smile.
Then Yang Ruoxi came over from the village office after changing clothes.
She changed into something more sporty, more suitable for walking in the mountains.
"Chen Yang, I've changed my clothes, when are we leaving?" Yang Ruoxi asked as soon as she walked into the yard.
Judging by her expression, she seemed a bit impatient.
"We were just waiting for you to change. Let's go now," Chen Yang said.
"Okay, then let's go."
Yang Ruoxi nodded with a smile, and together with Chen Yang and Wangcai, they headed towards the mountains.
On the way, Yang Ruoxi noticed Wangcai's unusual behavior, so she curiously asked, "Chen Yang, what's up with Wangcai today? Isn't he usually down in the dumps? How come he's so energetic today?"
When Hei Yun had pups, Yang Ruoxi and Li Han knew about it.
They were familiar with the situation, so seeing Wangcai so excited today made her curious.
Upon hearing this, Chen Yang smiled, "This little guy was down earlier, too. I told him to accompany me up the mountain, and I'd help him get Hei Yun back; that's when he perked up. Otherwise, I'm afraid he wouldn't have gotten better."
"Oh, so that's how it is. I didn't see Wangcai being so sentimental," Yang Ruoxi smiled slightly when she heard this.
Whether Wangcai understood their conversation or not was unknown.
But after Chen Yang and Yang Ruoxi finished talking, he became more and more excited.
Running around energetically.
On their way from the village, within less than half an hour, Chen Yang and Yang Ruoxi found Hei Pi in the mountains.
In the afternoon, it was the medicinal factory's time to collect herbs. Hei Pi and his shanwalk team were in the woods behind the village, keeping an eye out for any wild animals, so they were easy to find.
When Hei Pi saw Chen Yang in the mountains, he was quite surprised.
"Yang Zi, what are you doing here? Do you need something from me?" Hei Pi asked with a smile as he stood up.
Chen Yang took Yang Ruoxi with him as he walked over, "Yes, I have something I need your help with."
"Haha, have a seat, let's sit down and talk," Hei Pi laughed, brushing the dust off the rock beside him to indicate Chen Yang and Yang Ruoxi should sit.
Chen Yang didn't stand on ceremony and sat down as Hei Pi suggested, then began to explain why he had come.
Hei Pi's expression became somewhat serious after hearing Chen Yang's plan.
"What's up, Hei Pi? Not confident in yourself?" Chen Yang asked with a smile.
Hei Pi chuckled awkwardly and nodded, "Yang Zi, when it comes to hunting, I'm very confident, but capturing something alive, I really can't do that."
"I usually have a hard time dealing with tigers even with a gun, let alone capturing them alive."
Hei Pi was a straightforward man and didn't agree just to save face.
"Catching something alive is more difficult, but it's not that hard, right? After all, you've hunted for so many years; you must have some experience," Chen Yang continued.
Hei Pi shook his head vehemently, "Yang Zi, hunting and live capturing are two completely different things. I really can't do it. I can give you some advice, but to actually set traps or figure out how to catch one, I absolutely can't manage that."
"This really needs someone specialized for the task; I don't want to overstate my abilities."
Hei Pi kept shaking his head, indicating he truly wasn't confident.
Seeing Hei Pi say that, Chen Yang didn't press him further.
"Alright, then just help me out when you can, I'll go back and do some more research myself."
With that, Chen Yang got up, ready to leave.
The hour was getting late, and he still needed to go deeper into the mountains to gather herbs.
"Alright, I'll definitely help where I can," Hei Pi said with a smile as he stood up to see Chen Yang off.
Just as they were about to part ways, Hei Pi suddenly remembered something.
"Oh right, Yang Zi, I just thought of someone who might be able to help you," Hei Pi said as a thought crossed his mind.
Chen Yang turned back, "Who?"
"The old Sun head from Shangshan Village. He's an old-timer at this mountain walking business. His experience is richer than anyone else's, and he actually caught a tiger when he was young. He'll definitely be able to help you," Hei Pi said seriously.
"Old Sun head?"
Chen Yang paused, and an image of an old hunter immediately popped into his mind.
There really is such a person in Shangshan Village. Chen Yang has seen him before, but in the past couple of years, the old Sun head hasn't been around much, so they haven't seen each other often.
"Yeah, he'll definitely do. He's extremely experienced and can even be considered half a mentor to me!" Hei Pi nodded earnestly, displaying great confidence in the old Sun head.
"Old Sun head does have the experience, but I don't know him very well. Isn't it a bit inappropriate?" Chen Yang said.
Hei Pi smiled easily, "You don't know him well, but I do. How about this, after work this afternoon, I'll accompany you to see him. I'm sure it'll work."
"Alright, let's ask him together then. If it really works out, it'll save me a lot of effort."
Seeing Hei Pi agree to go with him, Chen Yang said no more.
Catching wild animals requires finding someone professional; otherwise, a small mistake can become a big deal.
After deciding on this, Chen Yang remembered Wangcai and Hei Yun's situation.
So he shared his thoughts with Hei Pi.
He wanted to buy back Hei Yun to give Wangcai some company; otherwise, it wasn't good for Wangcai to be down in the dumps all the time.
After hearing Chen Yang's words, Hei Pi didn't say much else and agreed with a smile.
"Alright, let's go together in the afternoon; my friend is just in the town, it's quite convenient to visit."
"Okay, then we'll head out, and let's stay in touch for the afternoon."
Chen Yang nodded, then left with Wangcai and Yang Ruoxi, continuing further into the mountains.
With human intervention, mountain roads are now more numerous than before; it's no longer necessary to blaze one's own trail to enter the mountain.
Chen Yang and Yang Ruoxi wandered in the mountains for more than an hour and filled their backpack.
Being able to collect so many herbs so quickly was partly due to the paths.
Another factor was their thanks to Wangcai.
This little guy, knowing Chen Yang was going to bring Hei Yun back, was so excited.
With great determination, he helped Chen Yang find herbs.
In just a few minutes, he'd find a good medicinal plant for Chen Yang.
With such a helpful assistant as Wangcai, Chen Yang's rate of herb gathering naturally increased.
After filling the basket with herbs, Chen Yang didn't stay longer on the mountain and quickly led Yang Ruoxi and Wangcai back down.
