At the beginning, the whole family fled from famine, and I used a milk bottle as a koi carp

Chapter 7 Hunting is so easy and so fun!
  As a result, for many days in a row, the men in the village gathered together to learn how to make bows and arrows whenever they had time, until everyone in the team had one.

As soon as it was time to rest, everyone started to go into the mountains in groups. Of course, they couldn't go far, and even the time to rest was limited.

The ideal was very full, but the reality was very skinny. I originally expected to be able to hunt and save more food.

As a result, the nearby mountains were so barren that I felt like crying. There were only one or two pheasants and hares here and there, and almost no other serious prey.

Because we were leaving in a hurry, we hadn’t paid the tax yet, so each family still had a little food. But they didn't know where they would go to find a suitable place to live, or what they would encounter along the way. They also tried their best to save food.

The further south, the hotter the weather, the more difficult it is to find water. This drought covers a larger area than they imagined.

After walking for many days, there was no water source. When it was almost noon, the weather was really hot, so the villagers rested under the shade of the trees on the flat terrain.

The village chief squatted at the front of the team, looking at the stacks of mountains in front of him, and then at the green and yellow patches on the other side. The short shrubs near the mountains were all withered and yellow, and the leaves were wilting and almost fell off. There was almost nothing to be found. Got something to eat.

He moved his numb feet and looked at the children in the village with a sad expression. Each one had a small bow and arrow. When he saw some prey, they all swarmed over and started flying arrows.

The village chief couldn't help but laugh. These are the hope for the future of the village.

Seeing An Laoer coming over and squatting down, he patted his shoulder and said, "Tell the security captain to stay here for one more day and let them organize and hunt some prey. Let everyone make up for it, there will be more to come." There’s a long way to go!”

How can it be possible to practice archery by just pointing at a tree as a target? You have to practice with living animals. Anyway, we have been walking for a while. Let everyone take a breath and rest.

An Laoer came over and thought that it would be better if we could take a day or two to rest and find some water after everyone has been away for a few days. Lao An's family brought so much water, and now only the bottom of the bucket is left. Now adults don't dare to drink.

Seeing the chapped lips of Mrs. An and Mr. An, who were reluctant to drink water, Mr. An felt bad. In the past, he was studying away from home all year round, and the An family was always taken care of by the elder An, which was unbearable for a while.

The An family is like this even if they have a donkey cart, let alone other families in the village?
  Liu Erhu took most of the men in the village to go hunting in the mountains, and Boss An was also going. An Ningning hugged Boss An's left leg and wanted to go. Sanbao hugged Boss An's right leg and wanted to go too.

"We went in a hurry. We are all strong laborers in the village. What are you two little kids doing there?" Boss An looked at the two naughty children with a serious face.

"Dad, I'm a 100% marksman, I can definitely help." An Ningning quickly reminded.

"Dad, I don't care, I'm going." Sanbao started to cheat.

An Laoer won't go. He's a scholar and has a weak physique, so he won't hold him back.

Seeing the eldest brother in trouble, he sighed and picked up Sanbao who was about to howl, "Sanbao, you can't do it. My little bow and arrow have never hit a tree target. Let's practice first and go back later? What's more, Ning Bao I have better luck than you and sharper eyes than you."

San Bao was scarred by what his uncle said, and with tears in his eyes, he watched Boss An riding his sister on his back and leaving like this.

He also wanted to help, but unfortunately he couldn't. Among all the children, only Ning Bao's little bow and arrow shot the best. After thinking about it, I stopped making trouble and followed my two brothers and a group of children from the village to practice hitting the tree target.

The other people in the village were living and cooking, resting, tinkering, and hammering. They barely slept well after walking for so many days, and the donkeys and horses also needed to rest.

An Ningning followed Boss An and a group of strong laborers from the village into the mountains, led by Liu Erhu, the only hunter in the village.

After entering the depths of the mountain, I clearly felt that it was different.

The temperature in the mountains is much lower than in the surrounding areas. Although the tall trees have fewer branches and leaves than in previous years, the sunlight can still only shine in dappledly.

The further in you go, the harder it is to walk. This is mostly a barren mountain without a village chief. There are fewer people who usually come here, and the mountain roads become more difficult to walk. There are almost no decent roads.

Liu Erhu touched the bow and arrow in his hand excitedly. His bow was one of the best in the village. "Everyone, please pay attention to your steps. The further you go in, the harder it will be to walk."

An Ningning sat on Boss An's neck, holding both of Boss An's ears as steering wheels. She released her mental power and slowly searched for her prey. With her continuous practice in the recent period, her sensing distance was a little longer than the first time. It's such a barren place. An Ningning couldn't help complaining. Maybe it's drought or it's near a mountain? Except for the two prey, one large and one small, there was almost no other prey within sixty meters.

An Ningning tried to control the prey with her mental power, while guiding Boss An to go this way, "Dad, go over there, I feel there is something over there, my intuition is right."

The entire An family believed deeply in An Ningning's intuition. This intuition allowed them to eat pheasants and hares almost continuously along the way.

Getting closer and closer, An Ningning controlled the prey and tried not to disturb them.

Liu Erhu, looking at the familiar excrement on the ground, suddenly became excited and lowered his voice and said: "This is... a wild boar's daddy. There must be wild boars around here. Shhhh"

Everyone lowered their heads and were very excited to hear the news. They didn't encounter any serious prey along the way.

Oh my God, it's a wild boar!
  Everyone held their bamboo arrows, crouched, and looked left and right excitedly, fearing that the wild boar would suddenly rush over.

"We have to work together. This wild boar is not that easy to catch. I hunted it with my father many years ago."

Liu Erhu swallowed his saliva and felt that he was also very nervous. After his father passed away, everyone moved away, and he was the only one left to live in the village. He usually hunted small prey, such as wild boars. It was a bit difficult to do it all by himself. Difficulty.

The closer we got, the more excrement there was, and the more frightened everyone became.

An Ningning rolled her eyes and asked in a low voice: "Dad, if there is a wild boar, will there be water?"

Boss An suddenly woke up. Yes, if there is prey, doesn't it mean there is water nearby? These guys are not allowed to drink water!
  The villagers nearby were surprised when they heard this. The little girl of the An family was so smart, smarter and smarter than the other children in the village.

After walking forward for a while, we could already hear the grunting of wild boars, and the villagers who came out were even more excited.

Some people took knives, some took arrows, and some picked up two big wooden sticks.

After being away for so many days, not eating well, not getting enough rest, and traveling under the stars, the young and old men are too short of fuel and water.

Liu Erhu walked in front and gestured for everyone to disperse, "Two, one big and one small."

Everyone looked at it from a distance and saw that it was either mother and son, or father and son, so let them all stay!
  There were more than a dozen of them, and if one of them came, the wild boar would not be able to move away.

The one with the bow and arrow started first, whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

More than a dozen bows and arrows flew out. With this density, if we can't be accurate, we'll just make up the numbers.

Ow!Ow!
  The screams of two wild boars.

An Ningning worked hard to control the two wild boars from rioting. The villagers saw the wild boars standing still and restless for a while, feeling that they were almost coming.

Liu Erhu called everyone to come up together, and everyone went up, with knives and sticks, and soon the two wild boars fell.

Boss An said in surprise: "It's over now? So fast! The wild boar was caught?" It doesn't seem that difficult!

The group of people who went up probably frightened the wild boar silly, and it seemed that it disappeared without much struggle.

The daughter behind her was not seen at all, sweating profusely and looking exhausted.

The village is so excited, it’s so simple, so easy, hunting is so fun! They will want it next time!
