At dusk, the sun was still high on the top of the mountain. Many people in the team had a simple dinner and then fell asleep in the shacks built by their families.
Only a few restless ones were still wandering around in the group.
Everyone was short of food and had to get up early in the morning. They ate whatever they wanted for dinner and then went to bed quickly.
Only when you fall asleep will you not feel hungry.
Zhan Qingyue, who had already gone up the mountain once, went up the mountain again carrying a bamboo basket after dinner.
Zhang Dabao was in the nearby forest when he saw Zhan Qingyue carrying a bamboo basket into the relatively deserted forest.
He was confused and worried that Zhan Qingyue would be in danger if she went into the mountains alone. He also remembered that his father had told him to study hard and find out her mistakes.
Thinking of this, he also took steps to follow.
Zhang Dabao followed not far away, while Zhan Qingyue was so focused on looking for food and medicinal materials that she didn't notice his presence.
Zhan Qingyue never let go of the wild vegetables and medicinal materials she encountered along the way.
It's a pity that this forest is too depressed after all, the trees have withered a lot, and even the evergreens are yellow.
There are only green grass sprouts left on the ground.
Zhan Qingyue picked up the longer grass sprouts, pinched them and threw them into the basket.
"Squeak...squeak..."
A hedgehog screamed sadly and ran past.
How could Zhan Qingyue let go of this opportunity of God's gift of meat? She hurriedly picked up a stone and threw it at the hedgehog at the right angle.
"squeak…"
Only a scream was heard, and the hedgehog rolled and fell down the hillside.
Zhan Qingyue hurriedly rushed forward to pick it up, fearing that it would be snatched away by other animals if she arrived late.
Zhang Dabao, who was not far away, was dumbfounded. The thing in front of him, covered in thorns, was clearly a porcupine.
Porcupines are much larger than hedgehogs. Although they look like hedgehogs, they are braver and faster than hedgehogs.
He knew that Zhan Qingyue was very good at hunting birds, but he didn't expect that she was so good at hunting porcupines.
I just picked up a pebble from the ground, so...so...where did it come from?
Zhang Dabao was confused and carefully recalled where Zhan Qingyue hit him before he knocked the porcupine over.
However, the speed was too fast, and he couldn't see clearly from this angle.
But it was enough to shock him.
In the past, there were old hunters who shot porcupines in the village.
But that was only possible after ferocious hunting dogs were brought in to chase the porcupine, and several people surrounded it before catching it.
Zhan Qingyue is as simple as throwing a stone at a bird with just one person.
How can a woman do this?
Zhang Dabao was suspicious, and felt that it was really irritating that people were more powerful than people. He could kill birds only by looking for and digging out bird nests near where Zhan Qingyue was hunting birds.
He patted his forehead and stopped thinking when he couldn't figure it out. His father's brain was better than his own. Maybe he could know where he hit him. When he turned around, he encountered it. It was also called a porcupine that never comes back.
After returning to his home base, Zhang Dabao told Zhang Lizheng what he had observed on the mountain today.
Zhang Lizheng narrowed his eyes and touched his slightly sprouting beard with one hand, looking like an old god.
"You said she just picked up a stone and threw it away, then killed the porcupine?"
After saying that, he curled his lips in disbelief.
"That thing is not easy to fight. Although it doesn't taste very good, it runs very fast and is covered in thorns. Whoever touches it will be unlucky. Even an experienced hunter may not be able to hunt it easily."
"No! Dad, I was still thinking that you are well-informed. Can you know where Miss Yue shot? So that I can catch one next time I encounter one."
Zhang Dabao smiled sarcastically: "I didn't expect that I was overthinking it. Your old man's mind is about the same as mine!"
"Hey! You kid!"
Zhang Li was preparing to fight, but he saw Zhang Dabao getting into the shack and hugging his wife, so he had to give up.
When he was thinking about what to do, he saw villager Li Mu still wandering around.
The sun has set at this moment, and this kid is still wandering around. Thinking about it, he was not a very good person when he was in the village. He spent all his time sneaking around and teasing older girls and younger wives. He must not be holding back anything good right now. Woolen cloth!
Zhang Lizheng curled his lips and sneered. He was really sleepy and gave him a pillow.
A casual guy wandering around is the last person who will attract anyone's attention.
"Li Mu, what are you doing here? It's almost dark. Why don't you go to bed? You have to get up early tomorrow morning and be on your way!"
When Li Mu saw that the person coming was Zhang Lizheng, he nodded guiltily and bowed his head and smiled in apology.
"Uncle Li Zheng, I couldn't sleep and went out for a walk. Don't worry, I didn't do anything bad!"
Zhang Lizheng felt disgusted in his heart and waved his hands repeatedly.
"Okay, okay, I don't know about you yet. Is there no food at home? I have an idea that can fill your stomach. I don't know if you are willing to do it."
Li Mu's eyes lit up. How could he disagree if he had something to eat?
At that moment, he hurriedly agreed, nodding and bowing to Zhang Lizheng to show his loyalty.
Zhang Lizheng took out a wild vegetable pancake and handed it over with disdain.
"That's what happened..."
Li Mu was successfully bought over with just one wild vegetable pancake.
Early the next morning, as the team started on their way, Li Mu followed Zhan Qingyue not far away.
During the lunch break, everyone spontaneously went into the woods nearby.
The forest where we rest today is quite dense and the terrain is relatively gentle.
Entering the forest, everyone immediately dispersed.
Li Mu followed Zhan Qingyue furtively.
After leaving Zhan Qingyue, Han Yiyun habitually sat on the cart and followed Zhan Qingyue's figure through the autumn water.
The forest was dense today and the visibility was not very good, so he got up and walked to the edge of the forest, found a shady place, and was about to read a book, when he saw someone following Zhan Qingyue.
That sneaky look was obviously uneasy and well-intentioned.
In an instant, Han Yiyun thought of various possibilities, and even pictured Zhan Qingyue lying bloody in front of him in his mind.
He immediately panicked and wanted to go up the mountain.
But my legs were useless. I felt anxious and started to feel a dull pain after walking a few steps.
"Second brother, second brother! Help...help!"
Han Yiyun panicked and covered his legs, looking into the forest from time to time, for fear that Zhan Qingyue would be hurt.
Brother Zhan, who was collecting firewood at the side, saw his painful look and said preemptively: "Brother Yiyun, are your legs starting to hurt again?"
Han Yiyun was slightly startled, but he simply followed the plan and nodded repeatedly.
"Go quickly, go and call Sister Yueyue back."
"Ah... just wait, don't move around, I'll call her back right now!"
Brother Zhan lost the firewood and ran up the mountain.
Zhan Qingyue learned the news and hurriedly followed Brother Zhan down the mountain.
On the way down the mountain, I vaguely felt that there was someone behind me. I looked back several times but found no one.
No matter how good Zhan Qingyue was, he still took precautions.
