"Brother Hunter, this is the wooden box that the village chief asked me to give you. Inside, there are three pouches, and he instructed you to open them one by one. The village chief emphasized that you must follow his instructions and not open the pouches randomly."
Liu Qin handed the wooden box to Hunter Liu, her demeanor relaxing a bit now that she had Hunter Liu and Liu Huihui by her side.
Hunter Liu received the box with a serious expression and slowly opened it. Inside were three pouches in different colors: green, white, and yellow. Hunter Liu took the green pouch, which was placed on top, looked at Liu Qin and Liu Huihui, and, without saying anything, carefully opened it.
Inside the pouch, there was only a single slip of paper. Hunter Liu unfolded it and recognized the familiar handwriting of the village chief.
"Son of the hunter, eighteen years ago, I brought you to Liu Song Village. Back then, I had already foreseen that your arrival would bring a tremendous change to the village. But I could never have imagined how immense that change would be—so much so that I must now lead all the villagers away from Liu Song Village to reach our true destination. Son of the hunter, you don't need to look for me; if fate allows, we will meet again. Now, I'll tell you that there is indeed a treasure hidden in our village cemetery, but only you have the possibility of obtaining it. The members of the Skull Gang and the Wolf Gang can never acquire this treasure. Son of the hunter, enter the cemetery now. Once you've obtained the treasure, then open the white pouch."
The message from the village chief in the first pouch was brief, mainly instructing Hunter Liu to enter the cemetery to obtain the treasure.
Hunter Liu frowned, feeling a sense of unease after reading the message. He read it over again, murmuring to himself, "Lead all the villagers away from Liu Song Village to reach our true destination… If fate allows, we will meet again…"
"Could the village chief be hiding many things from me?" Hunter Liu sighed, unable to make sense of it all.
Liu Qin frowned as well, having seen the note in Hunter Liu's hand. "Brother Hunter, we don't have any other choice right now. We should follow the village chief's instructions. Go into the cemetery and find the treasure. Once you've found it, we can look at the second pouch, and by then, we'll hopefully know more."
Liu Huihui muttered, "If you ask me, Brother Hunter, you should just open all three pouches now—it'd save us a lot of trouble. We'd know what the village chief's instructions are in advance, right?"
Hunter Liu shook his head, saying, "Huihui, don't forget the village chief's gift of foresight. Since he's given these instructions, we absolutely must not open the pouches at will. If we mess this up, we could ruin his whole plan."
What Hunter Liu didn't know was that the village chief, having lived with him for eighteen years, understood his character well, which is why he felt confident leaving all three pouches with him at once.
"I get it, Brother Hunter. I'll follow your lead. Should we head to the cemetery now? We only have half an hour—after that, the Skull Gang will arrive, and we'll be in serious danger."
