Chapter 172 Black Bear
He calmly observed the black bear's actions, looking for the best time to attack. The black bear seemed to have sensed Chu Tian's presence, it roared, and rushed towards Chu Tian. Chu Tian quickly shot an arrow, but the black bear had thick skin and the arrow only left a shallow scar on its body. The black bear became even more angry, it increased its speed, and was about to rush in front of Chu Tian. Chu Tian quickly dodged sideways and pulled out a dagger. He knew that only close combat would give him a glimmer of hope. The black bear missed and turned to attack Chu Tian again. Chu Tian jumped flexibly, dodging the black bear's attacks, and at the same time looking for opportunities to attack the black bear's vital parts with a dagger.
One day, the courtyard organized a group activity. Everyone cleaned the yard and tidied up the public area together. Sha Zhu and Xu Damao inevitably met again. At first, the two deliberately kept their distance, but in the process of working, they quarreled again because of the distribution of some tools. "Xu Damao, don't go too far! I obviously got the broom first." Sha Zhu said with his eyes wide open. Xu Damao was not to be outdone: "So what if you got it first? I need it now." The two of them talked back and forth, and their voices became louder and louder, and they were about to fight. Seeing this, Lou Xiaoe hurried over to persuade them: "Stop arguing, we are neighbors in the same yard, what's there to argue about."
After a fierce fight, Chu Tian finally found an opportunity and inserted the dagger deeply into the belly of the black bear. The black bear roared in pain and fell to the ground. Chu Tian was also exhausted, but his heart was filled with the joy of victory. This fight with the black bear made Chu Tian more deeply aware of the dangers and challenges of hunting. But he was not frightened, but strengthened his determination to continue hunting. He knew that only by constantly challenging himself could he survive in this mountain forest and gain more prey and valuable experience.
During the days in the courtyard, Chu Tian's appearance was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples. Qin Huairu didn't know why, but she began to approach Chu Tian intentionally or unintentionally. Her charming eyes and gentle words made Chu Tian a little overwhelmed.
However, all of this was seen by Sha Zhu. Sha Zhu had always had special feelings for Qin Huairu. When he saw Qin Huairu seducing Chu Tian, his anger was instantly ignited. Without saying a word, he rolled up his sleeves and rushed towards Chu Tian, shouting, "You bastard, how dare you seduce Qin Huairu!"
Chu Tian frowned slightly as he looked at Sha Zhu who was rushing towards him aggressively. He didn't want to cause trouble at all, but he wouldn't let others bully him. Sha Zhu rushed to Chu Tian and punched him. Chu Tian moved sideways and dodged Sha Zhu's fist. Seeing that his first punch missed, Sha Zhu became even more angry and threw a few more punches.
Chu Tian sighed helplessly and decided to teach Sha Zhu a lesson. When Sha Zhu rushed over again, Chu Tian quickly grabbed Sha Zhu's wrist and twisted it gently. Sha Zhu felt a sharp pain in his wrist and couldn't help but screamed "Ouch". Chu Tian didn't stop there. He pushed Sha Zhu and he staggered back a few steps and almost fell to the ground.
Sha Zhu was unwilling to give up and wanted to rush forward again, but when he saw Chu Tian's cold eyes, he couldn't help but feel a little scared. He knew that he was no match for Chu Tian at all, and fighting would only make himself more embarrassed. So Sha Zhu could only stand there, cursing non-stop, but he didn't dare to take another step forward.
Everyone in the courtyard heard the noise and gathered around. Seeing Sha Zhu screaming from being beaten by Chu Tian, some people sympathized with Sha Zhu and accused Chu Tian of being too heavy-handed; others felt that Sha Zhu deserved it and shouldn't hit people casually. Qin Huairu stood aside, with a complex look in her eyes.
Chu Tian looked at the chaotic scene and shook his head helplessly. He didn't want to get involved in these disputes, so he turned around and prepared to leave. Although Sha Zhu was angry, he could only watch Chu Tian leave helplessly.
After this storm, the atmosphere in the courtyard became more subtle. Sha Zhu was full of resentment towards Chu Tian, and Qin Huairu was also in an awkward situation. As for Chu Tian, he just hoped to stay away from these disputes and continue to live his peaceful life.
Sha Zhu stood there, watching Chu Tian's back as he left, but the anger in his heart was hard to calm down. He felt that he had lost face in front of everyone, especially in front of Qin Huairu. Qin Huairu was also full of regret at this time. She just wanted to get some help from Chu Tian, but she didn't expect to cause such a conflict.
Others in the courtyard began to discuss. Some said Sha Zhu was too impulsive and shouldn't hit people without knowing right or wrong; others thought Chu Tian was right and shouldn't let Sha Zhu bully him. An old man heard the noise and rushed over. He frowned at the chaotic scene.
"Stop arguing!" the old man said sternly, "What's going on? Shazhu, why did you hit someone?"
Sha Zhu said angrily: "He seduced Qin Huairu, I can't stand it."
Qin Huairu quickly explained: "Uncle, it's not like that. I just said a few words to Chu Tian, and Sha Zhu misunderstood."
The old man looked at them, sighed and said, "You are all grown up, but you are still so irrational. Shazhu, you can't always be so impulsive. If you have something to say, you should talk it out. And Qin Huairu, you should also pay attention to your words and actions and don't cause unnecessary misunderstandings."
Although Sha Zhu was not convinced, he did not dare to refute the old man. Qin Huairu lowered her head, her face flushed.
After this incident, Sha Zhu's hatred for Chu Tian deepened. He began to speak ill of Chu Tian in the courtyard, trying to keep everyone away from Chu Tian. But Chu Tian didn't care. He continued to live his life, occasionally going to the mountains to hunt, and after returning, he just stayed quietly in his house.
Qin Huairu was also in a dilemma. On the one hand, she felt sorry for Sha Zhu, who caused the misunderstanding; on the other hand, she felt that Chu Tian was a capable person who might be able to help her solve some problems. In this contradictory mood, Qin Huairu's life was very tormenting.
As time goes by, life in the courtyard continues. But the conflict between Sha Zhu and Chu Tian is like a time bomb that could explode at any time. Qin Huairu is also constantly thinking about her future in this storm.
As the days passed, Sha Zhu's hostility towards Chu Tian did not diminish at all. From time to time, he would cast a resentful look at Chu Tian in the yard, but Chu Tian always turned a blind eye, as if Sha Zhu was just an insignificant existence.
Qin Huairu felt more and more guilty, she felt that she was the instigator of this conflict. She tried to find a chance to explain to Sha Zhu, but Sha Zhu didn't give her a chance to speak. Every time he saw Qin Huairu, Sha Zhu would either snort and turn away, or say something unpleasant in a sarcastic tone.
One day, the faucet in the courtyard was broken, and everyone was worried about how to fix it. Seeing this, Chu Tian picked up the tools and started to repair it without saying anything. His skillful movements and focused expression made people around him admire him. After a while, the faucet was fixed.
Qin Huairu looked at Chu Tian, her heart full of gratitude. She couldn't help but walked forward and said softly, "Chu Tian, thank you." Chu Tian nodded slightly without saying anything more.
