After the dangerous experience yesterday, no one was willing to continue hunting in Great Green Mountain today. After taking photos, they casually ate some food and then all packed up their tents and lined up to descend the mountain.

The three boars were abandoned in the forest. Big Black had gnawed off one of their legs, and even though the combined weight of the three boars was over eight hundred pounds, dragging them down the mountain could fetch a good price. However, given how cumbersome they were, no amount of money was worth hauling them down.

What puzzled everyone was Zhou Mingjun's leg injury. In a single night, he managed to move with ease and did not need any support while coming down the mountain. If it weren't for the tape still on his leg, no one would suspect that his leg had been severely injured the day before.

Though it was strange, everyone deliberately avoided talking about it because, when Zhou Mingjun was injured, not only did Xu Gang show no intention of helping, but everyone had also been concerned about saving their own skins and had not assisted him, which left them feeling guilty.

Of course, except for Wang Xiaoqiang.

Xu Qingxue intentionally slowed down to walk beside Wang Xiaoqiang and seeing Xu Mingjun moving freely, she couldn't help but ask softly, "Hey, Little Qiang, did you heal Xu Mingjun's leg with Qigong?"

"That's right," Wang Xiaoqiang said, slightly smugly, "Otherwise he wouldn't even be able to stand, let alone walk now."

"Little Qiang, you're really generous!" Xu Qingxue said sincerely to Wang Xiaoqiang.

"That's how we mountain folks are. Hehe…" Wang Xiaoqiang chuckled.

"By the way, Little Qiang, when we reach the bottom of the mountain, if Xu Mingjun follows through with the wager and gives you the car, don't be polite with him…" Xu Qingxue quietly reminded Wang Xiaoqiang.

"Of course," compared with yesterday, Wang Xiaoqiang's attitude had changed dramatically, "I'm just in need of a vehicle, and that Hummer would be perfect for our country mountain roads…"

"Hey, you changed your tune pretty fast…" Xu Qingxue teased, hooking her arms behind her back while her eyes playfully focused on Wang Xiaoqiang.

"Psh, it's not only because he lost the bet and should give me the car, but I also saved his life yesterday, so it's worth more than just one Hummer," Wang Xiaoqiang declared proudly.

"Exactly!" Xu Qingxue's smiling eyes lingered on Wang Xiaoqiang with a look of admiration and affection, saying, "Wang Xiaoqiang, I like your confidence!"

Wang Xiaoqiang frowned, "Hey, can you say that again without the 'confidence' part?"

Uh?!?

Xu Qingxue was momentarily bewildered, not understanding at first, but once she realized what Wang Xiaoqiang meant, she poked him on the forehead with her finger, "In your dreams!"

It was difficult going up the mountain but descending it turned out to be quite fast. By noon, the whole group had already returned to the bottom of the mountain.

Arriving at the entrance of Big Mouth Supermarket, using Zheng Dazui's benches, everyone sat down to rest. At this moment, Zhou Mingjun pointed to the Hummer and said to Wang Xiaoqiang, "Little Qiang, this Hummer is yours now. When you have time, fix the tires. When you drive to the Provincial Capital one day, let's go together to do the transfer formalities…"

"You can't be serious, did you actually take that small wager to heart?!" Wang Xiaoqiang feigned politeness.

"Haha, I, Zhou Mingjun, am a man of my word. I've always made good on my promises, and now with so many friends here, ask them, have I ever spoken blank words? I never back out on a deal."

With so many friends around, Zhou Mingjun naturally could not back out on the agreement. Instead, he took the opportunity to flaunt his integrity. Without waiting for Wang Xiaoqiang to respond, he earnestly added, "Also, Little Qiang, I must thank you. I will not forget your life-saving help. I'll remember this kindness, and if you ever need anything in the future, just say the word.

If it's within my power, I'll make sure it's done thoroughly."

From yesterday's healing session, Zhou Mingjun could tell Wang Xiaoqiang was not only a loyal and righteous person but also a very capable one. Such a person was worth making friends with, certainly a hundred times better than a friend like Xu Gang.

"Oh, you're too kind," Wang Xiaoqiang laughed it off, "since you take your gambling so seriously, I'll accept the Hummer. As for the life-saving grace, it's hardly worth mentioning. From now on, we are friends and can help each other out when necessary..."

Speaking of helping each other, everyone remembered Wang Xiaoqiang's impressive abilities, and they eagerly exchanged contact details and gave him their business cards. Wu Haimei joked with a smile, "Hey, Wang Xiaoqiang, now that we're all friends, when you and Qingxue hold a banquet, you can't forget to invite us!"

"Haimei, can your mouth survive without talking?" Xu Qingxue glared at Wu Haimei.

"Hey, I say Little Xue, that's really not fair. You got a boyfriend and didn't tell us, and now when everyone knows, you still won't admit it. Are you not sincere towards Human King Wang Xiaoqiang?" Wu Haimei eyed Xu Qingxue slyly with a pair of laughing eyes.

Xu Qingxue choked for a moment, stumped by the question. Her face flushed red, then white, in rapid succession.

Seeing this, Wang Xiaoqiang quickly smoothed things over, "Haha, love is not something that can be forced. Everything depends on fate, right? The future is an unknown, nobody dares to make a decision carelessly... If Little Xue and I were destined to be together, we would definitely invite everyone to bless us..."

"Damn, such a smooth talker, where is the simple mountain man in you? You're totally a heartthrob...!" Wu Haimei exclaimed coarsely upon hearing Wang Xiaoqiang's surprising speech.

However, Wang Xiaoqiang's words made Xu Qingxue's heart tremble secretly. Seeing Wu Haimei about to continue teasing, Xu Qingxue suddenly stood up, picked up her bag, and walked towards the Eastern Wind Warrior. "You guys keep talking; I'm leaving first."

"Hey, wait for me, Little Xue..." Zhao Qianqian chased after her, and the rest of the group also stood up, bidding farewell to Wang Xiaoqiang as they returned to the Provincial Capital.

Ultimately, the seven people left behind all the tents they had brought, cramming themselves into two cars.

As he watched the two cars drive away, Wang Xiaoqiang's face broke into a happy smile. He picked up the folding tent Xu Qingxue had left behind and gave the rest to Aunt Big Mouth.

Zheng Dazui happily accepted them, seeing as he could sell them as scrap for a good sum of money! Not to mention other uses!

"Aunt Big Mouth, you need to keep an eye on this car for me," Wang Xiaoqiang said as he left the Humvee under Zheng Dazui's watch, causing her to look at him in astonishment. "Little Qiang, that city person, he... he didn't really give this car to you, did he?"

"Aunt Big Mouth, it's not called giving. This is what I won, a bet I won. You saw it yesterday. I broke the Humvee's tire with a slingshot. The man lost; naturally, the car should come to me..."

"No, that's just talking big, is it? Such a valuable car, just given away like that..." Zheng Dazui found it unbelievable.

"Pfft, he not only gave me the car but also thanked me! Didn't you hear it?"

"I heard it; it sounded like you saved that city man's life... Right, I saw that his leg was bandaged up... Was he gored by a wild boar or something?" Zheng Dazui loved gossip, and naturally, she had heard everyone's conversation earlier.

"Exactly, a four-hundred-pound wild boar almost took his life. If it weren't for me, I reckon half of those city folks wouldn't have made it down from the mountain alive..."

"That's true. Wang Baoshan was indeed killed by a wild boar!" Zheng Dazui showed a look of shock.

"Oh, by the way, Aunt Big Mouth, do you have the phone number of a repair shop in the county town?"

"You need a patch-up, right!" Zheng Dazui was shrewd, instantly understanding Wang Xiaoqiang's implication, and naturally waved her hands. "No need to look for a repair shop. Shunfeng Driving School has a specialist repair master. Just have him fix it,"

"Won't that be troubling Zheng Shuang!" Wang Xiaoqiang politely said. He knew that Shunfeng Driving School had a set of car repair tools and an instructor who doubled as a car repair master. Usually, if the driving school's cars broke down, he would fix them.

"Ah, what's there to be shy about? We're all family here!" Zheng Dazui didn't hold back with Wang Xiaoqiang, directly declaring them "family."

Wang Xiaoqiang felt a bit awkward upon hearing this. They weren't even close, how could they already be called 'family'?

Zheng Dazui was clear-cut in her actions, immediately pulling out her phone and calling Zheng Shuang, explaining Wang Xiaoqiang's tire situation. After getting Zheng Shuang's response, Zheng Dazui hung up and joyfully said to Wang Xiaoqiang, "Little Qiang, guess what, hearing that you needed tire repairs, Little Shuang cancelled her current work and is personally coming with the master..."

"Let's not bother with that! For such a trivial matter, it's not worth it!" Wang Xiaoqiang frowned.

"She's already on her way," Zheng Dazui said, spreading her hands: "It's okay, you young people should get to know each other better... deepen your understanding!"

Wang Xiaoqiang helplessly swallowed, saying, "Then I'll go back and change clothes first, and I'll come back later."

Considering the two Nameless Orchids in hand, Wang Xiaoqiang didn't have the time to chat aimlessly with Zheng Dazui. He needed to take them home and plant them in pots soon, or they would die.
