Crossing 70: Fish in the Pond Have Good News

Chapter 270 Hunting

Seeing that those people were endless, Zhuang Shouren interrupted them directly, then took the leader's arm and patted him, "Okay, let's go. It doesn't matter whether we can catch prey or not. The most important thing is to record the situation and ensure our own safety."

"Got it, uncle." The man who was not much younger than Zhuang Shouren responded calmly, then looked at Jiang Yu and Fu Biao, "Jiang Zhiqing, shall we go together?"

"I don't know the way, you go ahead." Although Jiang Yu took a few steps, she didn't plan to go to the front, as that would make it inconvenient for her to observe the entire team.

"Okay." The leader nodded, then picked up his bag and set off.

The others had no choice but to quickly say goodbye to their parents and hurriedly follow.

The small winter hunting team set off. The family members and team leaders stood at the foot of the mountain and watched them go over Yaoer Mountain and disappear.

On the other side, Yi Chi stood in a secluded place, silently watching Jiang Yu leave.

Jiang Yu could feel that someone was focusing on her, but she couldn't find where the person was. In order to avoid attracting other people's attention, she couldn't move too much to look for him. She could only slightly tilt her head and hook her lower lip, hoping that Yi Chi could see it.

But Yi Chi didn’t have such good eyesight, he could only vaguely see Jiang Yu’s face, but as long as he could see him, he was very happy.

Moreover, Jiang Yu was wearing the hat he gave her, which made his heart beat faster and he felt secretly happy.

After crossing Yaoer Mountain, the guide led everyone in a direction that Jiang Yu usually did not go.

That area is close to the Tuanjie Brigade. Generally speaking, people from the two brigades will divide the nearby mountains equally, so as not to affect everyone's collection of mountain products and avoid conflicts.

After entering the mountains, the militiamen became active. Those who knew each other gathered together, talking in twos and threes, and were full of curiosity about everything around them.

They are all common trees in daily life, but now they seem fresh and new as if they have never been seen before.

Jiang Yu didn't understand their feelings. She and Fu Biao followed at the end of the team, looking very leisurely.

Fu Biao took the gun from Jiang Yu again, took off his gloves, and removed the bullet from the chamber of the rifle to check.

Jiang Yu held the empty gun and watched him check it. "How is it?"

"Most of them are second-hand goods, made a long time ago, and it's hard to say whether they are useful or not. But these two are good." Fu Biao temporarily stuffed the bullets that he was not sure whether they could be used into his pocket, and shook the two bullets at the innermost part of the gun chamber at Jiang Yu.

"Only two shots?" Jiang Yu frowned.

Did the construction team do this on purpose? They specially prepared a gun for her, but in the end they were just plotting against her?

Fu Biao nodded. "I'm not sure if the others can be used, but I suggest you don't use them. It would only bring bad luck to yourself if they explode." Fu Biao knew Jiang Yu's skills. She couldn't use a gun either. The small stone hammer hanging on her waist was more convenient than a gun.

"Okay, you can use the gun." Jiang Yu directly stuffed the empty gun to Fu Biao. She felt that the time it took to load the gun was enough for her to skim two small stones, so she might as well let Fu Biao make full use of it.

Fu Biao nodded and put the rifle on his back.

Because it was inconvenient to travel in the snow, everyone spent almost all of the first day climbing the mountain.

The further she went in, the more unfamiliar Jiang Yu felt with everything around her. By the afternoon, she could only recognize the trees around her.

Because the snow was thick, everyone had to walk with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and sometimes someone would trip and fall in the snow because they were walking too fast. But after a while, we gradually became proficient.

Jiang Yu loosened the knots under the two ears of his hat, allowing his cheeks to touch the cold air to cool down.

Fu Biao held a long straight stick as a trekking pole and was inseparable from Jiang Yu.

The leader looked at the sky, then said to everyone, "Let's hunt some game. We need to get the igloo out later. It's getting dark quickly, otherwise it will be too late."

"Is it here?" asked a young man in the team.

"First, see if there are any animals nearby, and then go to a flat place to rest," the guide replied.

"Okay." Everyone dispersed and went in groups of three to sweep the surrounding area.

Seeing this, Jiang Yu and Fu Biao looked at each other and each chose a direction to follow.

The guide and his friends looked in the direction Jiang Yu left, pursed their lips, and continued walking down.

Jiang Yu followed the hunting team members from a distance, watching them wandering around, with no intention of helping at all.

She was still wondering if the brigade had made some plans against her this time, or if the bullet from the homemade rifle was just an accident, or if other people with guns might have been treated the same way?

How about stealing their guns and checking them at night? Otherwise, it would be annoying to think about this all the time.

Jiang Yu made a decision and planned to do it after everyone fell asleep at night.

Fu Biao's people were luckier. They encountered a group of stupid roe deer. The leader shot and killed one of them directly, scaring the other roe deer so much that they immediately fled.

The others started complaining, saying that he shouldn't have fired the shot, otherwise they could have caught a few more stupid roe deer, which would have been a happy occasion to bring back to the team.

"Don't think about it. If I hadn't fired the shot, what would have happened if they had just run away when they saw someone?" the leading man argued unconvinced.

Fu Biao thought, fortunately there are big trees here, not flat mountains, otherwise the sound of the gunshot might cause an avalanche. But is the sound of a homemade gun so loud?

He felt something was wrong, but he thought he was overthinking it.

"How could it run? It's a silly roe deer!" The other person thought he was overthinking it. Everyone knew that silly roe deer were the easiest to catch.

The leader didn't care and just went forward to carry his prey. As a result, he could only lift the silly roe deer a little bit.

The people around burst into laughter.

The leader's face darkened. He threw the roe deer to the ground and prepared to drag it away.

"There's blood." Fu Biao looked at their attitude and realized that they had no common sense at all, and he immediately got a headache.

"What's wrong with the blood?" Others looked at Fu Biao in a not very friendly manner.

Fu Biao was a little unhappy, but for the safety of others, he still warned, "The beast will follow the smell of blood. If you are not afraid, just drag it away."

"Ah? What should we do then?" When those people heard this, they became a little panicked again.

Fu Biao remained silent. Just a reminder was the most he could do. Given the attitude of these people, who would be willing to take care of you?

When the others saw that he didn't say anything, they felt a little embarrassed, but there was nothing they could do so they gathered together and discussed how to deal with the situation.

In the end, the matter was resolved only when the people who were looking for prey on the other side heard the gunshots and rushed over.

In order to make it easier to carry, they processed the roe deer directly on the spot.
