Traveling through time and space to meet a replacement bride? But I’m a man!

The snow in the mountains has reached below the ankles.

Fortunately, everyone wore inner socks and tucked their underwear in to prevent snow from getting in.

When you step on the snow, it makes a "crunching" sound, and it is quite relaxing to take steps like this, leaving footprints one by one.

This time when Chen Sanlin went up the mountain, he changed the direction. There were not many traces of animal activities in the area he had explored before, and he did not show his excellent archery skills in front of Xu Wenyan. He still felt a little unwilling.

Following Chen Sanlin along the way, they could still see a lot of squirrel footprints, and there were also many squirrel nests. If Xu Wenyan wasn't in a hurry, he would definitely go up and dig them out.

After setting up the lasso trap, Xu Wenyan explained the principle to the two people behind him. It was not difficult anyway. You would be able to do it after listening and watching it twice. In short, this kind of trap depends a lot on luck.

Of course, in order to increase the success rate of hunting, Xu Wenyan placed a few corns on each side of the lasso as bait.

After walking for a while, Xu Wenyan's hat was covered with white frost. The breath he exhaled turned into frost as soon as it touched the hat. Xu Wenyan estimated that the temperature was definitely more than ten degrees below zero.

If you can't find prey again, you have to prepare to return, and the risk of continuing hunting will be particularly high.

"Brother Sanlin, this way." Xiaohu saw some obvious footprints on the side that looked very fresh.

Chen Sanlin took a quick look and determined what animal had left these footprints: "These are the footprints of roe deer or muntjacs. There are several of them not far away."

Hearing this, the little tiger took out a stone from his pocket. He had no bow and arrows so he could only use the stone to hit the prey. If he was lucky, if he hit it on the head, he could catch the prey by then pounceing on it.

Several people followed the footprints forward. The footprints led to the mountain. Chen Sanlin deduced that it wouldn't take too long to catch up.

As expected, when they were about to reach the top of the mountain, Chen Sanlin saw them in the distance. There were three of them in total. They were red muntjacs. The largest one was about one meter and two meters long. Its back was reddish-brown and its belly was covered with white hair. Overall, it was smaller than a deer.

Chen Sanlin took the hat from Xiaohu's head. Because it was white, it could better conceal his figure: "You wait here." After Chen Sanlin whispered, he half-knelt and walked towards the three muntjacs with a bow and arrow.

Looking at Chen Sanlin's slowly leaving figure, Xu Wenyan was worried for him. The three muntjacs were eating dry leaves and were in a relatively relaxed state.

Chen Sanlin stopped ten meters away from them. He slowly picked up the bow, pulled the string to its full length, quickly aimed and shot the arrow at high speed. One second after the sound of breaking through the air, a muntjac ten meters away fell to the ground.

Without checking the arrow, Chen Sanlin pulled the bow again, this time without aiming, he shot directly at a muntjac.

"call out."

The muntjac was shot in the hind leg but still managed to escape.

"What a pity." Xu Wenyan also walked forward to check.

The first muntjac that was shot was killed with a single shot through the eye.

"Brother Sanlin, do we want to chase it?" Xiaohu felt itchy when he saw the muntjac that was shot in the hind legs. If it were any other time, he would have chased it, but it was snowing and since Brother Sanlin didn't chase it, he naturally wouldn't be reckless.

Chen Sanlin shook his head: "No, I'll look for it tomorrow. I have to go back today."

Chen Sanlin put the muntjac into the backpack and secured it with a rope. He then held Xu Wenyan's hand and looked at him, hoping to get praise.

Looking at the expression of Chen Sanlin, a 1.9-meter-tall man, Xu Wenyan just shook his head helplessly and smiled with narrowed eyes: "Very impressive."

Chen Sanlin, with his nose upturned, looked very proud after being praised.

Xiaohu put his arm around Rong Xiaoliu's shoulders and said, "Hey, who caught this deer? It turned out to be my brother Sanlin who caught it."

These words were obviously meant to tease Rong Xiaoliu, but Rong Xiaoliu was actually a little unhappy because he didn't catch anything and embarrassed himself in front of Brother Xu.

Looking at Rong Xiaoliu's pouting mouth, Xiaohu laughed a few times.

Just after they walked a few steps down the mountain, Xu Wenyan discovered a pear tree.

The fruit on this tree is not big, like normal sized oranges: "Wait, those are pears, right?"

Several people looked up in unison: "Really, Brother Xu, you are so awesome." Rong Xiaoliu looked at Xu Wenyan with admiration again.

Since you haven't caught any prey, just do your job as a "lonely man" well.

"That's it, let's go! I don't think it's frozen yet."

When Xu Wenyan came under the tree, he picked a pear near the bottom. He squeezed it and it was still soft, so it looked like it was not frozen yet. This kind of pear cannot be made into frozen pears, so it is better not to let the cold wind ripen it.

I took a small taste and it was very sweet and icy.

"Pick some, and discard the black ones."

Everyone had some Wen Yan in their baskets and he didn't plan to keep any more as the wind made his cheeks hurt.

When returning to the Chen family, Chen Xiaohua brought Xu Wenyan's medicine immediately.

"Hey, Chen Sanlin, you beat that deer pretty hard." The voice came from two middle-aged men standing outside the yard. Xu Wenyan had never seen them before so he didn't talk to them.

Chen Sanlin just nodded and started to deal with the deer.

"Would you like to sell some to us? We haven't eaten game for a long time." The two middle-aged men smiled kindly.

Xu Wenyan knew why they wanted to buy it. Although this game was more expensive than pork, they wanted to buy it because the mountain was blocked by heavy snow. With the amount of snow this year, they would not be able to go out for at least a month or two, so they had to make plans early.

After working hard for a year, it would be embarrassing to have no meat on the table during the New Year.

Chen Sanlin thought for a while and looked at Xu Wenyan.

Xu Wenyan drank the medicine in the bowl in one gulp and walked over: "Okay, two hundred coins for one front leg." Xu Wenyan smiled cunningly.

The two middle-aged men were stunned. This item is really expensive.

You know, a front pork leg costs the same price, but there is more meat in the pork leg.

"this......"

The game sold to the county was not for ordinary people to eat. It was bought by some wealthy people to try. In fact, Chen Sanlin sold it to the butchers in the county at about the same price.

"We hunted this after walking on the snowy road for a whole day, risking our lives. Game is expensive to begin with, so if you want to buy it, we'll sell it to you with all our heart." Xu Wenyan praised the muntjac again, boasting about all the benefits it had.

"Oh, we can't afford it. It's too expensive." After hearing this, the two uncles still felt it was expensive and left without even looking at it.

Xu Wenyan was also a little speechless. When he first said he wanted to buy it, he was so arrogant and thought he was a rich young man, but he was not willing to eat even a leg for these two hundred coins.

Originally, there were still people who wanted to buy it, but when they heard the two men say that a leg was two hundred coins, they all went back. Why not buy something else with the two hundred coins? Just buy a leg, and the front leg at that.

After Chen Sanlin peeled off the suede completely, he gave Xiaohu a hind leg. Chen Sanlin was very generous.

"Brother Sanlin, let's cut off a calf and send it to the village chief. Wang Dongmei helped our family last time, and because of my mother... I think we should have a better relationship with the village chief. What do you think?" After all, it was not something he fought back, so Xu Wenyan still had to discuss it with Chen Sanlin.

"Okay." Chen Sanlin cut it quickly and put it into the bamboo basket.

Without further delay, Xu Wenyan took four persimmon cakes and a few pears and sent them over.
