On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

"You know quite a lot." Xiao Lian also put her bow back on her back and freed her hand to hold the stick: "Look at me!"

Xiao Xiao didn't want to see that scene at all. He happened to see a pheasant not far away being frightened away, so he simply found an excuse to leave: "I saw a pheasant, please keep your voices down."

Boss Xiao, who had not yet harvested anything, was unwilling to give in: "Don't go too far, I'll go to the east and have a look."

After entering the mountain for more than an hour, Xiao Xiao found a flat stone to sit down and wiped the sweat from his face.

Well, Orion is really hard.

The mountain road is difficult to walk, and you need to keep your eyes open to avoid being bitten by snakes and insects. You also want to listen to the sound with your ears.

The whole person is highly concentrated, and coupled with the constant walking, it is extremely tiring.

What's even more depressing is that after walking for so long, I still haven't found any prey.

Of course, it was not that she had not seen the long worms wandering freely in the vegetation, but it was not yet time to run out of food, and it was not that she had not eaten meat for three days. She was unwilling to touch the long worms from the bottom of her heart.

It wasn't that her archery skills weren't good, but that today's pheasants and hares were too cunning and would hide away at the slightest sign of trouble, so she didn't see their shadows at all.

She felt that she couldn't bear the pain of being a hunter, so why not think of another way out?

After sitting around for a while, he saw his eldest sister coming over in high spirits, carrying a pheasant. Xiao Xiao stood up immediately: "Sister, I'll go with you."

As far as she knew, her father had killed a long worm before, and the second sister was even more powerful. She had caught three long worms. Now the eldest sister also had prey, which meant that she was the only one who was still empty-handed.

She suspected that her luck was not good today, so she decided to take advantage of other people's luck, right?

Xiao Xiu responded with a smile: "Let's go find a water source and wash our faces first."

Generally, there are springs and mountain spring water in mountains.

The mountain spring water here flows to the foot of the mountain, forming a shallow stream.

After walking for a while, the sisters found the mountain stream.

I don't know if it's natural or if someone dug it out deliberately. There happens to be a concave bottom here, like a small pool.

The water is also very clear and cold.

Xiao Xiao felt a little regretful: "It would be great if there were fish. The water is so clear and I can catch them all right away."

Xiao Xiu smiled: "Then let's go to the edge of the village to look for a pool tomorrow to see if there are any fish."

"Good idea." Xiao Xiao also noticed that after entering the mountain, the eldest sister was in a very good mood, with a constant smile on her face.

Is this the joy of harvest that comes only after catching prey?

Her eyes fell on the pheasant thrown aside by her eldest sister.

The brown pheasant looked like it weighed three to four kilograms, because it was shot to death by an arrow. After it was thrown to the ground, its blood flowed out.

She smacked her lips and said, "It's a miscalculation. From now on, we will bring some salt up the mountain and fire dumplings so that we can bake them freshly when we are hungry."

"I heard that beggar's chicken is very fragrant and very simple. You don't need to remove the feathers. You only need to clean the chicken belly, wrap it with leaves, and smear it with mud..."

Xiao Xiu heard her sister talking about beggar chicken, roast chicken, and kebabs. He suspected that she was hungry, so he took out a hard-boiled egg from the small package he was carrying and handed it to her: "I want to eat chicken now." Difficult, how about you eat an egg first?"

Their breakfast consists of a hard-boiled egg and a bowl of porridge for each person, as well as cornmeal pancakes.

She didn't eat the eggs at that time, so she just took them out.

Xiao Xiao didn't refuse. After peeling it off, each of the sisters took half of it: "Okay, if you don't have a chicken to eat, it's not bad to eat an egg. Sister, do you think the chicken comes first and then the egg, or the egg comes first and then the chicken?"

Xiao Xiu is now used to the fact that the third sister will say some words that are incomprehensible.

After thinking for a while, he simply asked: "I don't know, sister, which came first, the chicken or the egg?" "Hehe, I don't know either..."

Xiao Xiao felt that half an egg was not enough, so she was going to eat rice balls.

But at this moment, her ears moved and she thought she heard the sound of running.

She immediately became vigilant, and there were several tall pine trees by the water: "Sister, something is coming, let's get up the tree first."

Xiao Xiu looked around and saw no wild beast, but she did not doubt her third sister's words. After her sister gave her a few handholds, she quickly climbed up the pine tree.

When she stood firm among the branches, she realized that she had forgotten the pheasant underneath.

"Oops, I'm going to get the pheasant!"

"It's too late." Xiao Xiao motioned her to look ahead, her eyes shining: "Are those two wild deer?"

She felt that she must be God's daughter, otherwise she was worried that she would be embarrassed if she went back empty-handed, but now she saw two wild deer.

Even the deer she had seen before weighed one to two hundred kilograms. The two wild deer below seemed a bit smaller and probably weighed no more than a hundred kilograms.

But she wasn't ready to let them go either.

He whispered to the eldest sister: "They may be here to drink water. Let's shoot arrows together later. You can control me."

This must be done together, otherwise the wild deer will be very alert and the other one will run away without a trace.

This is all meat and money, and she is definitely not willing to let it go.

Xiao Xiu leaned against the branch of a tree, her nervous heartbeat speeding up, and she responded in a low voice.

The two sisters quietly picked up their bows and nocked arrows, aiming at the two wild deer that were getting closer and closer.

They were very interested in the pheasants on the ground. They seemed to be afraid that they were not fresh, so they sniffed them first. Just when they were about to bite, the two sisters shot arrows at the same time.

They were all aiming at the heads of wild deer. At such a close distance, the target was larger than the pheasant, so they all hit the target.

The wild deer never thought until their death that cunning humans would hide in the trees and assassinate them. After letting out a piercing cry, they trotted a few steps and fell to the ground.

The sisters quickly got off the tree.

Xiao Xiao looked distressed: "It's a pity that there is so much deer blood."

Then he looked at the short horns: "This may not be a wild deer, but an old-horned muntjac. No wonder it's so small. They shouldn't weigh more than fifty or sixty pounds."

She could recognize the wild muntjac because she likes to see the animal world. She had read the animal protection regulations, and the muntjac was included in it.

Xiao Xiu was overjoyed: "It doesn't matter if it's a deer or a muntjac, so much meat can definitely be sold for a few taels of silver, right?"

Her words also reminded Xiao Xiao: "It's hot during the day, so it's best to sell it while it's fresh."

Today, the Xiao family was called out by Li Zheng early in the morning to look at the bamboo forest. After that, they did not open up wasteland honestly. Instead, they went back to get their bows and arrows and quietly went into the mountains.

It shouldn't be noon yet, and Xiao Xiao is going to find his cheap dad and ask him to bring the old horned muntjac to the city to sell.

Although there are many shops and restaurants in Houzhai Village, I am afraid that I will not be able to eat so much game.

Furthermore, Xutian Village is too close to Houzhai Village, so it would be bad if someone sees it.

After all, Li Zheng had just said before that hunting was not allowed, so they just got wild game to sell, which would make the villagers even more jealous and cause a lot of trouble.

The city is a big place and there are countless restaurants. They will definitely be willing to buy some game and make signature dishes to attract customers.
