The end of natural disasters: the daily life of child brides in ancient times

Chapter 361 Hunting in the Mountains

Linshan Village.

In a few days, it is already the end of the year.

There have been no cold waves these days.

Even the temperature outside has warmed up a bit.

Although the temperature has not reached the point of thawing, it is still better than the severe cold of the past few days when water turned into ice.

The temperature outside is much better now.

In addition, the snow had stopped for many days, and people began to walk out of the yard.

Li Rui and Qu Hong found rabbit footprints at the foot of the back mountain.

This discovery directly stimulated the two people's desire to eat meat.

The two began to persuade several other brothers to go up the mountain to hunt, and they even had an excuse ready!

After all, the Chinese New Year is coming soon and there is not much meat at home.

As for the horse meat before, there was too little of it and not enough to eat.

A horse was divided among the three courtyards, and Village Chief Yang, Bai Xing'er and several clan elders also got some.

The remaining meat was shared among Master Yan and his fellow apprentices, and there really wasn't much left.

Besides, everyone needs to save some for the New Year.

As for going up the mountain to hunt, Li Rui and his friends just wanted to take a few fellow disciples with them.

After all, whether or not they can get anything in the mountains is one thing, but if something goes wrong, they who proposed the plan will also be held responsible.

The first few times it was brought up, Master Yan vetoed it!

However, every day when the two of them went out and looked at the rabbit's footprints, they felt as uncomfortable as if they were being scratched by a cat.

The two men attacked several times, either indirectly or with direct punches.

Finally, Master Yan was fed up with the two and agreed to let them go hunting.

But there are two requirements.

First, don't go too far. Hunt only on the outermost hills and never go deep into the mountains.

Although the tigers on the outermost mountains have been killed, the smell of the tigers can still linger for a long time.

It is estimated that there will be no large beasts in the outer mountains in the short term.

Second, only a few of their fellow disciples can enter the mountains, and they must bring ropes and be careful when climbing.

Li Rui and his companions naturally had no objection to this, as they had no intention of bringing anyone else with them.

After Master Yan agreed, Li Rui and his companions quickly packed up the things they would need to go up the mountain.

At the same time, people were sent to inform Lu Qingqing, Qin Lang and Lu Shufu separately, asking them to go up the mountain to hunt rabbits together.

Lu Qingqing knew about this and naturally agreed.

No matter whether there are rabbits on the mountain or not, she will let a few people catch as many rabbits as possible and make sure they return with a full load!

When the group of brothers set out, they were full of enthusiasm and great momentum.

Because of the cold wave, several people stayed in the house for too long and were suffocated.

Several fellow disciples were very excited to be able to go out today; even the usually steady Brother Luo walked with a breeze.

If you don’t know, you might think they are not hunting rabbits, but hunting some large wild animals.

When the team started, Li Rui and Qu Hong were at the front.

The two climbed up along the rabbit's footprints, trying to find where the rabbit was hiding.

Along the way, Lu Qingqing was also touching around.

However, her focus was on how to release the rabbits, chickens and sika deer without leaving any trace.

It is not an easy task to release it without being discovered and ensure that several people can hunt it.

When they reached the mountainside, they didn't see any rabbit.

Li Rui, who was impatient, was a little anxious. He had persuaded his master for so long before he could get several fellow disciples to go hunting in the mountains.

If you go back without getting anything, it would be so embarrassing!

Little did he know that Lu Qingqing behind him was also anxious.

The team was climbing up by pulling the rope, all in a straight line, so she really had no chance to put anything out!

We have already climbed halfway up the mountain. If we can't find any prey, the team will probably have to go back.

Perhaps the desire to find prey was too strong, and prey really appeared not far ahead.

A gray rabbit was startled by several people and quickly fled to the front left.

Li Rui was so excited that he raised the bow and arrow on his back and chased after that place.

The others behind him hurriedly followed.

Seeing that the formation was finally in disarray, Lu Qingqing quietly fell to the back.

After the others ran out of sight, he pulled Qin Lang and changed direction.

She could clearly hear the sound of pursuit not far away, and knowing that time was running out, she turned her head to signal Qin Lang beside her.

Qin Lang had already received her instructions and nodded in agreement.

Lu Qingqing picked out two adult rabbits, a male and a female, from the space and quickly released them out of the space.

The two rabbits were suddenly in a new environment and were shot by two arrows before they could react.

Qin Lang ran over consciously and picked up the two prey.

When the two returned, Li Rui was holding the big rabbit and laughing loudly.

When he saw the two rabbits in Qin Lang's hand, he exclaimed:

"Da Ya, Xiao Lang, where did you get this from?

In the time it takes me to catch one rabbit, you've caught two!"

The other brothers were also very surprised, and several of them came forward to ask.

"Daya, where did you get this shot from? Are there any more? Let's go over and take a look!"

"Yes, yes, this rabbit is really fat, much better than the one Li Rui caught!"

"..."

Several people chattered and asked, and Lu Qingqing quickly replied:

"There were only these two rabbits there, and they're gone. Let's go up and have a look!"

Chai Quan also responded: "Yes, it's rare to see two rabbits in one place. I guess we won't find any new ones!"

Hearing this, several fellow disciples felt a little regretful.

But soon, looking at the three rabbits in their hands, everyone regained their fighting spirit.

After walking up a little further, they reached a relatively flat place and everyone began to disperse and search.

Lu Qingqing walked forward a short distance and found a windy place where the snow on the ground had been basically blown away.

I stepped on it a few times to make sure it didn't leave any footprints.

Then he released the fighting stag from the space, and as it ran away, he chased it and shouted:

"There's a deer here, come quickly!"

Upon hearing the news, several fellow disciples ran over and quickly caught up with Lu Qingqing. At the same time, they also saw the stag fleeing in the woods ahead.

The group chased the deer for a distance and shot it to death on the ground.

In order to prevent the deer blood from being wasted, Chai Quan took out a water bag he carried with him to collect the dripping deer blood.

After hunting the deer, everyone's desire to hunt became stronger.

As they climbed up, in addition to the ones released by Lu Qingqing, they would occasionally hunt small animals that already lived in the mountains.

They worked until the sun was about to set, and then they dragged their prey back.

This trip was very fruitful!

We hunted two deer alone.

Not to mention the rabbits and pheasants tied together in a large bunch.

Even a squirrel was hunted by Chai Quan.

This little fellow didn't have much meat, but there was quite a lot of food stored in the cave for the winter, enough to fill up half a cloth bag.
