Due to the hunting and the sudden fall into a coma, Haman returned relatively late.

He caught a glimpse of the sky and glanced at the sun. The sun was about to rise to its highest point, and it was hazardous to stay outside at this time.

It wasn’t just the sun in the sky that was dangerous, but also those who returned at this time.

“Come on. You’ve good harvest today!”

When Haman carried the parvicursor and ran into the town, someone greeted him.

That person’s face was dark, as if he had washed it several months ago.

Many people in the town were like this. They did not have the courage and ability to go out to hunt.

Usually, to exchange for food, they could only go to the mining area to mine, which was, in fact, the purpose of the town’s existence.

They would use the mines they had dug all day to exchange potatoes and sweet potatoes that were just enough to survive.

Mining and all kinds of dirty and tiring work that the people in the city did not want to do would be done by the people in the market town.

There was only one well in the market town, and there was a fixed quota for the water in the well every day. And no one was allowed to fetch more.

There would also be acid rain in the sky, and there was very little clean water nearby.

Moreover, all terrifying creatures were waiting for prey nearby that made it too dangerous.

That was why the people in the town were dirty, and Haman was no exception.

However, he never went to mine since it would cause chronic death. He had his way of survival.

At this time, Haman did not respond when he saw people greeting him. He only wanted to return to his kiln pit as soon as possible.

Haman, who was initially quite relaxed, became more and more nervous after entering the market town. He even pulled out the bone knife at his waist.

Everybody on the street tensed up as if ferocious beasts were hiding on both sides of the road.

However, when Haman took out the bone knife from his waist, those people calmed down again.

Haman learned that since he could survive in this wilderness for so long, he could not trust anyone except Holly.

Some people whispered from the dark cave, “Haman caught another prey.”

“He’s so lucky. That monster is not easy to kill!”

“But this prey is massive. We can probably enjoy it for several weeks!”

“Don’t provoke him!” A voice ended the whispering. It seemed that someone knew Haman’s personality.

Haman lifted the leather curtain hanging in front of his cave. The coolness inside made him relax.

Holly, sitting on the ground doing his homework, looked up and saw Haman coming back. He was pleasantly surprised. “Did you catch a prey?”

“Why? didn’t you have lunch?” Haman asked with a frown.

He only glanced at the food in the pot and knew that Holly had only eaten one meal since morning.

Holly was not very clever, and he was only like this in front of Haman.

And he would not be so tender facing outsiders. “I just want to save some money for my family.”

“What if you’re starving?” Haman put down his prey and took a sip of water.

Holly seemed to be inspired. “The priest said that I’ve already got the best food.”

Haman did not care about this. “I’ve seen the priest. He’s a stupid man. Please don’t listen to him since he can’t even do anything at all. He might not be right.”

“Oh…” Holly nodded. “Then why did you have to send me to the Church?”

Haman suddenly could not think of what to say. Then he straightened his neck and said, “Why do you have so many questions?”

“Then when can I go hunting with you?” Holly did not ask further. He only said expectantly.

“You don’t need to learn hunting since you’re only fourteen years old. If you go to the church and learn knowledge, you won’t have to go hunting.” Haman said, “You can learn how to add up and learn some scientific knowledge. So that you’ll be able to sit in the room and get paid, isn’t it better than hunting?”

“You’re only 18 years old too!” Holly was a little unconvinced.

In this era, even the most vicious people knew the importance of knowledge.

Each year, they would listen to the radio. They knew that some people in some market town had been admitted to certain schools, and their entire families had moved to the city.

It was also the reason why priests could survive in this wilderness. No matter what kind of trouble happened in the town, they were always the safest, and no one would disturb them.

However, it would cost much to learn knowledge. Otherwise, Haman would also want to do so.

Haman lifted the iron pot and skillfully dissected the prey. “What did the priest teach today? We can only eat the internal organs of this parvicursor. And we’ll sell the rest of the meat in the afternoon.”

Holly sat at the side and watched Haman boil the internal organs while mending his clothes.

It suddenly became quiet in the room. After a while, Haman took out the parvicursor’s internal organs from the pot and handed them to Holly. “Enjoy it.”

Holly’s eyes suddenly turned red. “No, I won’t. You can take it. You’re the one who needs it the most.”

“There’s still more!” Haman took out a small piece of liver from the pot and held the black bread in his hand. “I still have some bread here.”

“It’s more useful for you to eat. You might become a mutant,” Holly said as he was about to burst into tears.

Haman touched his head and smiled. “Remember, nobody will believe in your tears in the world. I think you cry because of me. So, don’t cry while you’re living in this world.”

Then he continued, “Look at the people around us. What if someone suddenly comes in at night and stabs me to death if you don’t eat?”

“I told you to go to church to learn knowledge because I didn’t want you to be like me since I only know how to hunt.”

“You’re brilliant. As long as you study hard, you don’t have to be like me since I need to get up early and go to bed late to make a living in the wilderness. I told you to go to church because I want you to become a city man.”

Holly took the internal organs from Haman and wolfed them down. In the end, he didn’t cry because he didn’t want to make him sad.

“Tell me what happened in the town today and what did the priest teach you?” Haman said.

“Okay,” Holly agreed.

“You’re usually so smart outside. But why are you so compliant when you’re at home?” Haman sighed.

“The priest taught us which plants could be eaten in the wild and which were useful. He also said that they would bring textbooks before the catastrophe the next time when city people came.”

While sewing his clothes, Holly said, “The aunt next door died. A dinosaur came out of the ground and bit all her family to death. In the end, the guards killed the dinosaur.”

Speaking of these things, Holly was very calm. He had witnessed life and death many times, so he was numb.

“By the way, some city people came today. They said that they were looking for a wilderness guide. They seemed to want to keep a dinosaur as a pet.”

When Holly saw that Haman was interested in it, he then said in detail, “Then, will they turn to you? Everyone in town knows that you’re the best hunter.”

“No. How can it be so easy to catch a dinosaur?” Haman shook his head.

At this moment, Haman didn’t know how to feel about it. “Why do they still want to keep a pet and even think about keeping a dinosaur as a pet? What are those people from the city thinking about?”
