The hunter's leisurely life begins with marrying a female educated youth.

Pine Mountain is not very big; it only takes about two miles to walk through it completely.

It can be said that Songshushan is the outer perimeter of Jimingshan.

The fastest route from Songshushan to Jimingshan is a straight line; if you walk around the foot of the mountain, it will take ten miles.

At this moment, Zhang Li'an, Sun Wenjie, Yang Tieqiang, Zhang Yun, and Zhang Jiwu, each carrying a bamboo basket, entered Songshu Mountain.

Zhang Yun volunteered to walk at the front, while Zhang Li'an walked at the back.

When Zhang Yun woke up this morning, he already knew that he had received power feedback from the Spirit Spring Space and that his perception ability had been enhanced.

Therefore, Zhang Yun's sense of smell, hearing, and vision are more advanced than those of ordinary people.

Zhang Yun walked ahead, constantly slashing with his bayonet, clearing away the branches and weeds blocking his path.

At the same time, Zhang Yun's eyes were constantly scanning the area in front of him, his hearing covered the subtle movements within a five-meter radius, and his sense of smell could detect the special odors mixed in the air.

"There are snakes!"

At one point, Zhang Yun was cutting down a tree branch that was blocking his way when he suddenly shouted.

In fact, Zhang Yun had already heard the sound of the venomous snake slithering through the grass. He deliberately walked in the direction of the snake, and when he was about two meters away, he deliberately shouted loudly.

The four people following behind immediately became alert. When they looked in the direction Zhang Yun pointed, they saw a large, colorful snake huddled in the grass, its triangular head pointing towards them.

“This grass snake is quite big, it’s about three fingers wide and weighs at least 5 kilograms.”

After observing for a while, Zhang Li'an calmly spoke.

“The grass snake can only see straight ahead. The five of us will each stand in a different position. One person will be responsible for attracting the grass snake, while the other four will pick up tree trunks and kill it.”

Zhang Jiwu seemed to be very experienced, and at this moment he made a suggestion.

After the five men entered the mountain, each of them cut off a straight tree branch. After removing the branches, they became a tree trunk, each about 1.5 meters long.

Zhang Yun took the initiative to stand in front of the grass snake, while Zhang Li'an, Zhang Jiwu, Sun Wenjie, and Yang Tieqiang circled around to the left and right sides of the grass snake.

"Do it!"

After Zhang Li'an saw the five men standing in position, he immediately gave the order.

Zhang Yun's tree trunk struck the grass, attracting the attention of the grass snake. Sensing the murderous intent, the snake tried to turn and flee.

Zhang Li'an swung down the tree trunks in his four hands at the same time, and they all hit the snake.

At the same time, the grass snake seemed to lose consciousness as it was struck by four forces. Its body was still twisting instinctively, but it stopped crawling.

Zhang Jiwu struck again with his staff, precisely hitting the grass snake's vital spot.

The grass snake fell into a complete coma.

Zhang Li'an stepped forward, slashed with his bayonet, and cut off the snake's head. He then picked up the snake's body.

"Captain, put it in my basket."

Zhang Jiwu volunteered.

Zhang Li'an smiled and nodded, then put the grass snake's corpse into Zhang Jiwu's basket.

Then, Zhang Yun continued to lead the way, with Zhang Li'an bringing up the rear, as they continued traversing the mountains and forests.

rustle……

At some point, there was a sound coming from the bushes ahead.

All five of them heard it.

"There's a beast!"

All five spoke at the same time.

Zhang Yun had the best hearing and immediately sensed that it was a den of wild animals. Perhaps sensing the presence of the five people, they had been resting in the grass and suddenly ran away.

"Captain, there were several wild rabbits in the bushes ahead. They sensed our voices and ran away."

Zhang Yun calmly explained.

Zhang Li'an nodded, then smiled and said, "Zhang Yun, Zhang Jiwu, I heard you caught more than twenty wild rabbits yesterday. It seems you are very good at catching rabbits."

"Since there are wild rabbits active here, why don't we set a trap here and see if you can catch the rabbits around here?"

This time, Zhang Li'an was following the orders of Qushui Commune. Because there were wild boars active in Jiming Mountain, he was ordered to lead the militia, along with Zhang Yun and Zhang Jiwu, to Jiming Mountain to investigate the situation.

Zhang Li'an knew in his heart that the chances of finding a herd of wild boars deep in the mountains were not very high.

Zhang Li'an also had a plan for this trip into the mountains: to hunt some wild animals along the way and improve the militia company's meals.

After all, resources are scarce now. The militia does receive more grain than the farmers, but meat is also in short supply, and they often don't have meat to eat.

After hearing about Zhang Yun and Zhang Jiwu's achievements the previous day, Zhang Li'an readily agreed to let the two join the team and go into the mountains together.

Now that he had discovered the trail of wild rabbits, Zhang Li'an was no longer in a hurry to get to Jiming Mountain; he would catch a few rabbits first.

"Ok."

Zhang Yun readily agreed.

This militia captain is in charge of the armed forces in his area, and he wields considerable power; he will certainly be useful in the future.

Since he had the opportunity to team up with Zhang Li'an, how could Zhang Yun miss it? Of course, he wanted to perform well and make a good relationship with him.

"Third Uncle, you find the rabbit's activity path, and I'll set up the snare trap."

Zhang Yun smiled and gestured for Zhang Jiwu to proceed.

Zhang Jiwu was already very familiar with the paths that wild rabbits took. After walking around the area, he quickly found a path where a rabbit had made a passage through the weeds.

Zhang Yun immediately went to the edge of the bushes, cut down two branches and stuck them into the ground. He then skillfully tied a loop of hemp rope around the base of the tree, with one end of the rope tied to the tree trunk above and the loop secured to the branches on either side with a hook.

In this way, as soon as a hare passes by and touches the hook, the bent branch above will spring back, pulling the rope snare and tightening the hare's body in one fell swoop.

While setting up the rope trap, Zhang Yun took advantage of the four people's inattention and took out some spiritual spring water, throwing it into the grass around the trap.

The wild grass absorbed all the spiritual spring water almost instantly.

Zhang Yun also pretended to walk away to continue setting up the next rope trap.

The five of them set up ten rope traps along the way, then went to a nearby grove of trees to rest for a while, using the dense foliage for cover.

Zhang Yun opened the kettle, took a sip of water, and immediately felt full of energy.

The water in this kettle isn't from the village well, but from a spring in the Spirit Spring Space.

This spiritual spring contains extremely powerful functions. One sip and it feels like every cell in your body is activated, instantly making you feel refreshed and incredibly comfortable.

This spiritual spring is good, but Zhang Yun cannot share it. Otherwise, if Zhang Li'an, Zhang Jiwu, Sun Wenjie, and Yang Tieqiang notice something amiss, it will be difficult to explain.

"Perhaps we can dilute the spiritual spring water a little, using 10 parts well water and 1 part spiritual spring water. This way, they can enjoy the benefits of the spiritual spring water without even realizing it."

At that moment, Zhang Yun was thinking just that.

Just as Zhang Yun and the other four were closing their eyes to rest and each had their own thoughts, a sound came from nearby.

"The rabbit has fallen into the trap!"

Upon hearing the sounds of struggle, Zhang Jiwu immediately laughed and shouted.

Indeed, this was the sound of a wild rabbit struggling and kicking its legs frantically after being caught in a rope.
