The Second Sister of a Farmer's Family's Path to Imperial Destiny
Chapter 13 Hunting
These days, Guo Xin asked Sidan to make a bamboo bow and twenty bamboo arrows for her at home.
Since she wouldn't be coming back so soon this time, Daya prepared some taro chips and some dry buns for her.
She was a little worried that San Ya would be bullied when she was not at home, so she made a detour to visit the home of Aunt Liu Guo, who was on good terms with her parents.
Aunt Liu Guo has many children in her family, so if something happens at home, they can protect one or two of them.
Seeing her carrying a bow and arrow, people in Aunt Liu Guo's family were a little confused about what she was doing here.
But after all, they were old friends, so even though the feeling was that the guest was not well-intentioned, they still welcomed him warmly.
"Erya, are you here to help with anything?" asked Brother Liu from Aunt Liu Guo's family.
Guo Xin took out thirty coins from his pocket and handed them to his eldest brother: "Brother Guo, I have to go up the mountain today, but I can't go home so soon. I may not be able to take care of my family, so I need you to help take care of me."
Brother Guo was not unaware of the affairs of the Guo family, so he naturally understood what Guo Xin meant.
Just looking at Guo Xin's equipment, I felt a little confused.
"Arya, it's no problem for you to help. We have known each other for many years. But what are you planning to do?"
Guo Xin was just about to explain when she saw Aunt Liu Guo coming out in a hurry.
"Ah! Arya is here! Are you going hunting? Be careful!"
"Alas, it's hard for children without parents..." After saying this, Aunt Liu Guo actually shed a few tears.
Before Guo Xin could react, she saw Aunt Liu Guo fall into sorrow.
She had no choice but to pat Aunt Liu Guo on the shoulder and comfort her: "Aunt, I'm doing pretty well now, and I've made some money."
When Brother Liu heard about hunting, he was stunned for a long time.
Although the small Arya has been able to help with farm work since she was young and is quite strong, hunting is so dangerous!!!
Brother Liu looked at Guo Xin and couldn't help but feel distressed: "Er Ya, why don't you not go? It's too dangerous. I know some people in town. Although you don't earn much by helping out, you can still have enough to eat."
Guo Xin didn't expect that this trip would actually cause everyone to feel distressed. This was not much better than Uncle Guo's family.
"Aunt, big brother, it's okay. I know what I'm doing. I've already gone into the mountains to get some food and brought it back home."
After some consolation, Guo Xin went into the mountain.
……
This time, Guo Xin did not plan to look for prey on the outskirts of the mountain. As the weather was getting colder, the animals had all gone deep into the mountains to prepare for hibernation.
This time, Guo Xin had a lot more strength than the first time she went into the mountains. On weekdays, she was constantly recovering her physical strength from the end of the world.
Therefore, taking advantage of the good foundation of this body, he recovered quickly.
Guo Xin found a place near a water source, drank some water, ate something, and after resting for a while, he walked towards the depths with all his strength.
The light gradually turned from bright to dark, and there were fewer and fewer human footprints, which also meant that it was getting more and more dangerous.
Hunting is not easy. It requires not only luck, but also extraordinary intuition and physical fitness.
The vines are intertwined with each other, like a large net, and the sunlight can only come in through the gaps between the leaves.
This was extremely similar to the jungle environment in the apocalypse, and she quickly got into the state.
The temperature in the mountains is even lower, but this does not hinder Guo Xin's hunting speed.
Guo Xin took out the bow and arrow, put the bamboo arrow on the string, squinted one eye, aimed at the moving bird, and shot it towards the sky with a "chirp".
The bird let out a scream and fell rapidly from the sky.
Guo Xin walked quickly towards the direction where the bird fell, stepped over the vines, and saw a bird hit by an arrow fell on the bushes.
It's already dead.
She looked at the dead bird, the bamboo arrow stuck straight into the bird's head, and muttered proudly, "Good aim, as good as before."
Guo Xin picked up the flying bird and threw it into the basket on his back.
It was this lifting action that shook the bushes, and a pink ear moved, and it immediately ran back to the nest.
This naturally did not escape Guo Xin's eyes. She followed quietly, not daring to make a sound.
Rabbits are most easily frightened, so you must not scare them, otherwise the rabbit you have caught will fly away.
I saw the rabbit stayed in its nest peacefully and didn't run out.
She immediately used the experience she had gained from training in the apocalypse to find several rabbit holes nearby and quietly blocked them with stones, leaving only one exit that was most convenient for catching rabbits.
A handful of rotten wet leaves was burned with a flint, and thick white smoke rolled out. Eight fat white rabbits ran out in a panic and ran directly into the net that Guo Xin had set up at the entrance of the cave.
She looked at the rabbits carefully. Their fur was thick and there were no scars. They were made of good material.
This fat rabbit would surely be delicious if cooked.
With this in mind, in order to eat extremely fresh rabbits and get the best rabbit hair, I did not kill them.
But the frightened rabbit kept making shrill cries, which made people worry that it would attract wild animals.
While anxiously searching for a cave, Guo Xin fed some food to the rabbits, trying to comfort the frightened rabbits.
But rabbits are not that easy to appease.
Just as he was dozing off, someone brought him a pillow, and Guo Xin saw a datura.
With a thought in mind, he crushed the leaves of the Datura, mixed them with food and put them into the rabbit's mouth.
In just a quarter of an hour, all the rabbits fell asleep.
It was already dark, and the water left at the water source was only enough to last for an hour.
Guo Xin searched deep into the mountains for a cave, and fortunately, God had mercy on her.
She saw a very small cave and wondered if it could accommodate a person.
She put down the basket she was carrying, bent down, and crawled in. The entrance to the hole was very small.
She looked carefully at the cave and found no animal feces. She also looked around the space and found it was very narrow, but it was enough for a night. There seemed to be a long passage leading to the other side of the cave.
She didn't dare to act rashly, so she found some branches that were not so wet in the woods and started a fire in the cave.
But the whole day had already passed, and she took a bite of the steamed bun she brought with her, but found it tasteless.
He looked at the dead birds in the basket and put them on the fire to roast and eat.
The roasted meat had no seasoning and even had a fishy smell. However, under the circumstances, Guo Xin didn't want to ask for more.
Put the roasted bird meat into the steamed bun. The fat seeps into the bun and it tastes really delicious.
After resting for a long time, Guo Xin decided to go and see what was on the other side of the cave.
So he found a thicker branch, lit it, made it into a torch, and slowly walked to the other side of the cave.
