Chapter 142 Hunting Silver Foxes, Cattle and Sheep
The three Jiang family members saw that the children were having fun and that each of them had gained something.
He thought to himself, after all, he was also learning martial arts from Master Wu, so how could he be outdone by those guys? So he also tried hard to find prey in the woods.
After walking through the woods, they saw a small lake, the surface of which was completely frozen.
Although you can go around it from a distance, it is a waste of time.
Several people picked up a few stones from the ground and threw them at the lake. When the stones hit the ice, they bounced up and fell down, sliding a long distance.
After confirming that the lake was frozen solid, the three sisters-in-law of the Jiang family linked arms, carefully stepped onto the ice, and walked towards the other side little by little.
After hunting pheasants and rabbits, the boys saw their mother and aunts walking on the ice.
They tied up the bags containing the prey and put them on the shore.
They happily ran onto the ice and started playing, several of them pulling each other along as they skated on the ice.
For a moment, laughter spread to both sides of the lake.
Some curious and brave little animals popped their heads out of their caves to have a look.
Two little silver foxes ran over to the other side of the lake. Wen was sharp-eyed and did not have time to exclaim, so she picked up the small stones scattered on the ice.
Whizzing…
She threw it out quickly, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, I think I hit the prey." Wen took Jiang and Miao's hands and said excitedly.
"Really? Let's go check it out."
"Quick, quick, look what you caught."
When the boys heard this, they no longer had the heart to play and hurried to follow.
The commotion also attracted the three brothers Gu Dahai.
When they reached the other side, they saw a snow-white silver fox lying behind the rocks, one in front and one in the back.
Everyone was so happy, "Third sister-in-law, you are so lucky. Silver foxes are extremely rare. Not only are they scarce, but they are also hard to hunt. I didn't expect you to get two at once."
"That's right, your eyes are too sharp. Everything you see is white. It's amazing that you can see clearly and shoot accurately."
"Aunt San, you are so amazing!"
Everyone praised him one after another.
"Oh! It's just a coincidence. I haven't reacted yet." Mrs. Wen felt embarrassed by everyone's praise.
Gu Dahai walked forward, picked up two snow foxes and put them into a sack.
The family continued to explore.
Maybe the animals are hibernating and haven't encountered any other prey along the way.
However, Gu Dahe brought a few of Wen's sisters-in-law to dig up some roots and rhizomes of medicinal herbs and harvested a small bag of herbs.
At noon, everyone split into two groups and had lunch separately.
"Grandpa, let's go into the woods to look for Dad and the others and see how much prey they have caught. If it's a lot, we can collect the prey." Gu Fu said to his grandfather.
"Okay, let's go take a look." After saying this, the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren walked towards the woods.
Gu Dahai was observing animal feces all the way and finally found a large group of bison and a herd of sheep in a leeward valley.
Everyone in the Gu family had their eyes shining with excitement.
Gu Dahai made a hushing gesture and observed the surrounding environment.
Cattle and sheep also need to keep warm in winter, so the valleys they choose are generally those that are sheltered from the wind, facing the sun, relatively rich in resources, and have small entrances and exits.
In a flash, several ways of capturing them came to his mind, but they were all rejected. It would definitely be too late to dig a trap, and if he hunted, he could only catch a few at most, and the others would be scared away.
If only Fu'er were here.
As everyone was thinking about it, they heard some noise ahead.
After walking forward a bit, I saw Mr. Gu walking towards the crowd, holding one person in each hand.
"Sister, sister." The boys came over happily and said, "Great, you came just in time. We found a large herd of cattle and sheep, and just when we didn't know what to do, you came."
Gu Fu was also very happy when he heard it, "Let's go and take a look."
"Come, uncle will hold you." Gu Dahai picked up little Gu Fujue high up, put him on his neck, and strode forward.
The boys were envious again, and Gu Kang shouted directly: "Kang also wants to become taller. Kang also wants to become taller."
"Come on, come on, dad will carry you." After saying this, Gu Dahai also carried his son.
The boys in the Gu family were envious again, especially the twins, who looked at Gu Dajiang eagerly.
Gu Dajiang looked at the chubby bodies of his twin sons and said, "You are grown up now and should be brothers now. Walk on your own. Come on!" At last, he turned around and shouted to his sons to cheer them on.
Gu An and Gu Le complained in their hearts, father-son love? Yes, but not much.
Coming to the valley again, Gu Fu looked at the situation inside and the surrounding environment, and said, "Uncle, we can block a cave entrance, and then scare the cattle and sheep inside from the blocked side. They will definitely flee when frightened, but the cave entrance is small, so they will definitely crowd in the cave entrance. We can ambush at the cave entrance and shoot each one that comes out. What do you think of this method?"
"That's a good idea. I was just thinking of blocking one hole, and they would escape from the other hole. But if they are frightened and flee in panic, it won't be so easy! Let's do it this way."
"Let's go find some wood to block the entrance of the cave." Gu Dahai said as he went to chop wood.
"Uncle, that's not necessary. Fu'er has a door panel that can be used." He took out a door panel from the space and directly blocked an entrance and exit.
Then he took out the gong, released his mental power to control it, and struck it among the herds of cattle and sheep.
The cattle and sheep that were hibernating were so frightened by the sudden sound of the gong that they almost lost their souls.
Without waiting for them to react, they began to flee in a panic, and under Gu Fu's deliberate guidance, they all ran towards an exit.
When the gong sounded, Gu Dahai and others ambushed at another cave entrance, and the cattle and sheep that ran out fell under the arrows one after another.
Of course, there were also some who were smart and fast and escaped from the danger zone. The Gu family certainly would not chase them.
Some of them crowded together and started fighting with each other, refusing to give in. You kicked me and I kicked you, and soon there were casualties everywhere.
Looking at their injured and dead companions, the cattle and sheep finally reacted and huddled in the innermost part of the valley. They stopped running outside and looked at the cave entrance warily.
The Gu family also felt that they had reaped a lot, and began to count their gains.
Twenty cattle and thirty sheep were hunted outside the valley. Gu Fu in the valley used his mental power to collect them into a space, and then displayed them for his uncle and others to count.
In the end, we harvested forty cows and seventy sheep. It was a huge harvest.
"That's great. We gained so much from this trip!" everyone exclaimed.
Gu Fu put the cattle, sheep and door panels into the space and put them away. Then the group returned the same way and collected the prey placed along the way.
The tigers, wolves, horses and birds were all let out to have fun, and the Gu family members chatted and laughed, staggering towards the river where they came from.
The Gu family finally rushed back to the Bihu Lake not far from the river when the sun set.
Just seeing the scene by the green lake, everyone was so shocked that they stood still.
I saw that a group of horses were gathering on the originally vast snowy grassland.
Black, white, red, yellow, chestnut, spotted, silver-maned, peach-blossom horses, etc.
