The happy little days of the Ye family

After Li Guoer came over, he squatted on the ground and looked carefully at the vague footprints.

She had hunted sika deer several times before and was very familiar with the footprints of these little guys.

After just one glance, I was very sure that these were the footprints left by a sika deer.

Based on the freshness of the trampled feces on the ground, Li Guoer concluded that the group of sika deer should have left not long ago.

If I catch up now, I might still be able to find it.

At this time, Ye Xilin came over with the hoe that Li Guoer had dropped just now, and asked excitedly:

"Guo'er, are these footprints left by sika deer?"

Ye Xilin often heard Li Guoer talk about her hunting of sika deer in the mountains, and she yearned for hunting sika deer.

Li Guoer happily nodded to him, "Yes, and he just left not long ago."

"Great, how can we find them?"

A sika deer cost 60 taels of silver, and Ye Xilin wanted to hunt one back with great interest.

At this time, Tangshan's voice came from the front:

"There are some relatively clear sika deer footprints ahead. If we follow the footprints, we might be able to find the deer."

Hearing this, Ye Xilin quickly pulled Li Guoer forward, followed closely by Tang Xiaojing.

The four of them looked for the footprints of the sika deer and soon came to a small valley.

There are a lot of young grass growing around the valley, as well as some freshly sprouted wormwood, wild vegetables and mushrooms, which look full of life and spring.

The weeds covered up the footprints, and Li Guoer couldn't tell which direction the sika deer went.

So several people had to disperse to look for him.

Tangshan warned everyone: "We are already halfway up the mountain, so don't go too far."

The soil in this small valley is very fertile, and many half-sized mushrooms sprout from the ground.

They are all newly grown mushrooms, especially watery.

Ye Xilin didn't know how to look at the sika deer's footprints and excrement, so he simply picked mushrooms in the field.

Straw mushrooms, aeruginosa, morels, red mushrooms, all kinds of delicious mushrooms made him happy.

Ye Xilin picked another red mushroom and muttered happily:

"This kind of little mushroom that has just grown has the best taste. Just stir-fry it with bacon can make all the children in the village cry."

While Ye Xilin was picking mushrooms, he also picked some wormwood.

Although these wormwoods are light and fluffy, they are much better than honeysuckle, and the price is still higher.

Tang Xiaojing, who was originally looking for sika deer, also found a small piece of Bupleurum.

Although the price of Bupleurum was not high, you should not waste it when you came across it. Tang Xiaojing dug up all of them with a small medicine hoe.

There is a big pile of dug Bupleurum, but after removing the upper branches, the useful rhizomes are only about 4 kilograms.

If it were dried, he would be able to sell it for about 100 Wen, which would be enough for him to buy hand cream for his wife.

Tang Xiaojing happily stuffed them all into the sack, carried them casually on his shoulders, and then continued to look for the sika deer.

Compared to the two laymen Ye Xilin and Tang Xiaojing.

Li Guoer, who was born as an Orion hunter, and Tangshan, who has been traveling as escorts all year round, are much more serious.

The two of them bent down and carefully looked at every place in the ground, especially those places where the soil was moist and easy to leave footprints.

Li Guoer noticed that the tender grass in the ground beside her feet seemed to have been eaten by something.

Following these traces, Li Guoer quickly discovered some sika deer droppings, and they still looked fresh.

Li Guoer was very happy, "The sika deer must have just left. Let's look around again. Maybe we can't catch up."

Some sika deer droppings were also found in Tangshan not far away, and a few steps further, there was a clear footprint in a particularly wet field.

Several people followed the direction of the footprints and walked forward for a while, arriving at a dense forest.

There are towering trees all around, and they look like they are about to grow into spirits.

The smallest one is as big as two hands holding it together, and the two larger ones may not be able to be held with four hands.

It was midday, and the sun was shining brightly outside, but it was completely blocked by the towering trees.

A little bit of sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves, shining on the ground and looking like shining stars at night.

At this time, several people also discovered a problem. The ground was full of dead branches and leaves, and the footprints of the sika deer could not be seen.

Moreover, there was no tender grass for the sika deer to eat in the dense forest, so the clue was lost.

Li Guoer thought for a moment, then nimbly climbed up a tall tree, and soon reached the top of the tree.

Seeing Li Guoer climb to the top of a small tree, Ye Xilin was trembling with fear from below.

"Guo'er, be careful, don't climb too high."

Li Guoer looked down the mountain. This height should be halfway up the mountain.

The top of the mountain and the left and right sides were all blocked by tall trees, so nothing could be seen.

A few wolf howls were faintly heard in the distance. Based on the howls of these wolves, Li Guoer judged that they were quite far away.

Li Guoer climbed down neatly, "This location should be halfway up the mountain. There is a large dense forest in front of us. This tree is still too short, so we can't see what's going on inside."

As the elder, Tangshan was more calm and suggested to everyone:

"There are wolves in this mountain. We'd better not go any further. There may be danger inside."

"Although I didn't find any particularly valuable medicinal materials today, the harvest was pretty good. I think it's better to go back first."

Although Ye Xilin was obsessed with money and wanted to find sika deer, he still cherished his life and did not insist on going into the mountains when he heard that there were wolves.

If Li Guoer was alone, she would have gone into the mountains long ago, but with Ye Xilin and others around, she didn't dare to take the risk.

As for Tang Xiaojing, he now has an old man and a young man, and his family is very happy. He cherishes his life and takes the lead to lead everyone down the mountain.

"Ouch!"

"Ouch!"

The few people had just walked about ten steps when they heard a wolf howling not far away.

Everyone turned to look in the direction where the sound came from, and saw seven or eight strong wolves standing on a protruding cliff.

Each one is half the size of the hounds at home, and their eyes are fierce and full of murderous intent.

Several hounds immediately started barking wildly, but their momentum was much weaker than these.

This was the first time Ye Xilin saw a real wolf, and it was a pack of wolves with murderous intent, and his feet suddenly felt a little weak.

The distance between the wolves and them was about a few hundred meters, but fortunately the cliff was quite high, so the wolves couldn't jump down directly, and it wasn't easy to catch up with them.

However, being stared directly at by these big guys, several people were sweating and suddenly became nervous.

Several people quickly quickened their pace, and Li Guoer directly took the thing Ye Xilin was holding and asked him to run faster.

The four of them ran all the way from the mountainside to the small valley where they had just stayed.

At this time, everyone was out of breath, and the clothes on their bodies were torn several times.

Fortunately, several of them were wearing old clothes that were fully patched, so they didn't feel bad if they got scratched.
