Chapter 28 Stop Hitting Shi Zhenxiang
Chang Kun and Zhang Quhun continued their journey without stopping, heading straight for Wild Boar Ridge.
Upon reaching Wild Boar Ridge, the two disregarded their need to rest and began searching for traces of wild boars.
Chang Kun's system detected no prey.
The two looked around at the hoofprints on Wild Boar Ridge and found that the environment had not changed since yesterday, so it seemed that the group of wild boars really had not returned.
Chang Kun was not giving up. He searched and sensed along the mountain path, but still found nothing.
Seeing clusters of orange-yellow mushrooms by the mountain roadside, I picked several handfuls and put them in a burlap sack to take back for the little girls.
This stuff is sweet and sour, and kids love it.
The two wandered around the mountains for a long time without finding anything; there wasn't a single trace of wild boar.
The sun was getting hotter and hotter, making people feel dry and thirsty.
Chang Kun and Zhang Quhun went back to the spring where they had drunk water before, drank their fill of water, and rested for a while.
"Cricket, let's go back. The wild boar probably won't be back for a while. Let's go catch something else at the foot of the mountain."
Chang Kun wanted to catch a few more rabbits, live ones, and sell them to the supply and marketing cooperative when he had time.
As Chang Kun headed out of the mountains, he sensed his prey along the way. Suddenly, he noticed a rather large creature standing still behind a tree in the distance.
He beckoned Zhang Quhun to approach quietly, and peeked out from behind the tree. A fox was turning its head and licking its hind leg.
Chang Kun was secretly pleased. It was the same fire fox they had shot yesterday. It had been shot in the hind leg and had desperately tried to escape, but now it had run into the two of them again.
Zhang Quhun had already slowly drawn his slingshot and aimed steadily.
*Smack!*
Fire Fox let out a miserable cry and fell to the ground.
Chang Kun rushed forward in a few steps and pinned down the fox, which was still convulsing.
Zhang Quhun also came over with a sheepish grin: "Brother Kun, this Fiery Fox is very pretty."
Chang Kun nodded. "This fox fry can probably sell for thirty or forty yuan. The meat is too strong and nobody likes to eat it, but the fur is valuable."
I thought that since I couldn't catch any wild boars, I could only catch a few rabbits, but I unexpectedly got a great find along the way.
The system detected a group of small prey ahead.
Chang Kun walked forward seven or eight meters, parted the grass, picked up a grass nest, and found a dozen or so pheasants inside that couldn't stand up and were swaying and chirping.
"The fox couldn't catch any prey, but it found this troop of little pheasants. So many little pheasant chicks, it'll take them back and roast them for the girls."
Chang Kun remembered the taste of roasted sparrows when he was a child, and couldn't help but lick his lips.
After leaving the mountain, we arrived at the farmland at the foot of the mountain.
Sensing nest after nest of wild rabbits, Chang Kun perked up and shouted, "Cricket, let's find firewood and catch wild rabbits!"
The two ran around at the foot of the mountain, busy catching wild rabbits.
Two hours have passed.
Chang Kun and Zhang Quhun, each carrying a corner of a burlap sack, slowly walked towards the village entrance.
The sack was bulging with wild rabbits, which were struggling inside.
Zhang Quhun's expression was already numb. He couldn't understand how Brother Kun found the wild rabbits. He could block the rabbit burrow entrance every time without ever missing.
As I slowly walked to the village entrance, I saw that some people had already finished work and were taking a break.
Upon seeing Chang Kun and Zhang Quhun from afar, the crowd immediately erupted in noise.
"Hey, it's the Chang family's kid. Those two seem to be carrying something."
"Did you manage to get more goods from the mountains?"
"It's not a wild boar anyway, two people can't lift it!"
Jin Sanjia leaned against a big tree at the village entrance and saw Chang Kun and his companion slowly approaching. His face darkened as he cursed inwardly: "These two are really fast. They'll disappear in the blink of an eye if I follow them."
As Chang Kun and his companion approached.
The voices of the villagers at the village entrance were like a boiling pot.
"Is that a flamingo on Zhang's second son's shoulder?"
"It's a 'Fire Fox' (or 'Fire Fox'). Two years ago, Old Li caught one, exactly like this one, and traded it for an eighteen-year-old wife. I heard he even had a lot of money left over!"
"These two are pretty good! They never come empty-handed!"
As Chang Kun approached the village entrance, someone greeted him.
"Chang Kun, what's in those sacks you two are carrying?" They had both seen something alive kicking around in the sacks.
"Ah, Uncle Shen, you've caught two wild rabbits." Chang Kun smiled at everyone and slowly walked away.
As for Zhang Quhun, everyone in the village knew he was a man of few words, so they ignored him.
After the two walked away, the crowd started discussing it again.
"Two wild rabbits? Judging by the size of the group, there are at least ten inside!"
"That's right, I saw it clearly, there were definitely more than two kicking inside."
"Do you think those two kids have found some auspicious burial site in the mountains?"
"It looks like it to me too. Otherwise, how could two young kids hunt wild boars and catch so many wild rabbits?"
This immediately piqued the interest of many. If two young men could do it, wouldn't those of them, who had experience running through mountains, be able to do it too, once they found the right spot...?
Those with quick wits couldn't sit still any longer and got up to go home. Those who had guns took them out to oil and maintain them, while those who didn't try to borrow one.
"Xiao Qing, Xiao Mu, come out and see what your big brother brought you." Chang Kun returned home and called out in the yard, taking out the little pheasants, who were shivering in their nest.
Chang Qing was the first to run out, picking up a little chick and shouting, "Wow! Xiu'er, come quick! Hehe, it's so fun, it can even move!"
Hearing the noise, Chang Mu rushed out and squatted down to look at the baby pheasants. After a couple of glances, he looked up at Chang Kun and asked, "Big brother, where's the mother pheasant?"
"Oh right, where's the mother pheasant? These chicks are too small, not even enough for me to eat a couple of bites." Chang Qing counted the pheasant chicks one by one.
"Big brother will roast some chicks for you, but the mother hen is lost on the mountain. Where are Mom and little sister?"
"Mother gave a few ground squirrels to Uncle Chang's family and asked us to stay home and take care of Xiu'er."
Chang Kun nodded, took out two wild rabbits from the sack, and told Zhang Quhun to take them home to kill and eat. He also told Huo Huzi to take them back with him.
Zhang Quhun was a bit hesitant; he only agreed to take one wild rabbit home, and left the fox at Chang Kun's house to be delivered to the supply and marketing cooperative to sell for money.
Chang Kun didn't say anything. He knew that most of the things Zhang Quhun brought back would be sent to his older brother's house, so he might as well keep them here and sell them to buy him some things.
"Xiaoqing, Xiaomu, take these mushrooms and bird fruits and share them with Xiuer." Chang Kun gave the mushrooms and bird fruits he picked from the mountains to his younger sister.
"Thank you, brother."
"Big brother is so kind."
Three little girls squatted in the yard, playing with the baby pheasants and stroking the tails of the fire foxes. They munched on sweet and sour mushrooms and laughed incessantly.
Chang Wei told Chang Mu to light a fire in the stove, while Chang Qing killed the chicks one by one by throwing them to their deaths.
The baby pheasants are about the same size as sparrows, and they taste about the same as sparrows. Just bury them in the embers of the stove and let them sit for about ten minutes until they are cooked.
While waiting for the chicks to cook, the three little girls squatted by the stove, their eyes sparkling.
They haven't gone hungry for the past few days and can eat meat every day, which is incredibly blissful for them.
Chang Kun watched his sister roast the chicks, then took out two wild rabbits and skinned them.
When Liu Meifen returned home, she saw her son peeling a wild rabbit and her face lit up with a smile.
"My son is really something, he caught another wild rabbit."
Inside the main room, three young girls, Chang Qing, Chang Mu, and Chang Xiu, had blackened mouths and were holding roasted baby pheasants in their hands.
"Mom, eat up." Chang Qing rushed to her mother's side to fawn over her when she saw her return home. "It smells so good."
It really smells wonderful; Liu Meifen could smell it even from outside the courtyard.
Chang Kun also squatted down and ate a chick with the three little girls.
"Mom, I caught some wild rabbits and put them in the shed. My Uncle Yang might come over early tomorrow morning, so I'll get some wild rabbit meat to treat him."
"Oh! My in-laws, is there something you need?"
"Yes, they said that the crops in a village were being eaten by field mice, and they asked me to go and help catch them."
"Wow, my son is so capable! He can even help his in-laws."
"Which village are you going to? Is it far? Should I prepare some dry rations for you?"
"Hehe, it's not far, let's go to Qin Family Village!"
"Qin Family Village?" Liu Meifen blinked, thought for a moment, and then gave a word of advice.
"Don't hit Shi Zhenxiang again when you get there!"
