Shen Yan packed some black fungus and mushrooms that he had dried a few days ago, as well as the chestnuts in the corner into the cloth bag.

He planned to mail these things back to the capital to his uncles.

Although the item is not expensive, it is a token of his thoughtfulness.

By the way, please mail the smoked pheasant as well.

After the autumn harvest, the team gave them three days off, which will end tomorrow.

It's just right that I can go to the mountain again tomorrow after returning from town and pick up more firewood before the mountain is closed due to heavy snow.

If there are wild animals, you can kill more.

Shen Yan lay on the bed and fell asleep while thinking.

The next day, when he got up, the weather was even colder and he couldn't help shivering.

After eating a simple meal, and seeing that Xiao Rui was still asleep, he took the things and put them into the space, then walked lightly and slowly closed the door. Then he quickly walked towards the town.

Along the way, the cold wind blew his face painfully. He could not help but quicken his pace. When he arrived in the town, the post office was just open.

He walked in, filled out some form, and sent the package out.

Passing by the state-owned restaurant, I noticed that they were selling meat buns.

And no meat tickets are required.

Shen Yan walked in quickly.

"Comrade, please give me 30 meat buns." Shen Yan said.

"30? You want so many? It's you..." The female clerk looked up and found that the person who wanted buns was Shen Yan from yesterday.

Thinking of what happened yesterday, the female clerk glared at him again.

"These buns are sold to everyone. If you buy them all by yourself, what will the others eat?" the female clerk said unhappily.

"Comrade, I am not the only one eating these buns. Everyone in our hospital knows that I am coming to the state-owned restaurant, so everyone asked me to bring two buns. That's all I have." Shen Yan smiled and spoke in a gentle tone.

The other party looked at him and didn't try to make things difficult for him.

"A meat bun is ten cents, 30 of them, three dollars plus two food coupons..." The other party stretched out his hand.

Shen Yan handed the money to the other party, took the buns and walked out of the restaurant.

I took one out while it was still hot. The dough was soft, the meat filling was tender and juicy, and my mouth was full of meaty aroma.

It’s really good. It seems that the master chef here has great skills.

Shen Yan couldn't help but give the other person a thumbs up in his heart.

Thinking that there weren’t many candies left, I went to the supply store and bought a bag of White Rabbit candies.

I bought a bottle of soy sauce and vinegar, and some seasonings like salt.

Then he turned and walked towards the village.

When he got home, he looked at the watch and it was only 9 o'clock. Yang Rui was still sleeping soundly.

He smiled gently, heated up four meat buns in the pot, and left them for Yang Rui as breakfast.

He filled a pot of water for himself, picked up the rope, backpack and machete and went up the mountain again.

The deeper he went, the more rugged and difficult the mountain road became. He used a machete to cut down all the dead branches on the way and put them into the space.

After estimating the number, they started looking for wild animals.

It took half a day to find a few hares and pheasants.

That is... a roe deer. Shen Yan looked at the sturdy body of the roe deer under the tree, his eyes full of excitement and excitement.

He put down the backpack, took out the rope, and quietly approached the roe deer.

The roe deer seemed unaware of the danger and was still quietly eating branches under the tree.

Observe the surrounding environment vigilantly.

Shen Yan counted to three seconds in his mind, then quickly pounced on the roe deer.

The roe deer raised its head in horror and tried to escape, but Shen Yan had already grabbed its neck.

He quickly wrapped the rope around the roe deer's neck, and after making sure it couldn't break free, he chopped off its neck with a machete.

After making sure that the roe deer was silent, he put it into the space.

He looked at his harvest and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

In the following time, Shen Yan ate a few buns, drank some water, and continued to search for other wild animals in the mountains.

He found some mushrooms and some wild fruits, and also discovered a walnut tree.

He tasted one and found the skin was thick, but the taste was okay.

One pick up and half a basket is filled.

Seeing that the time was almost around 4:30, he went down the mountain and walked back.

Halfway through the journey, they found Yang Rui carrying a large bundle of firewood.

"Xiao Rui..."

"Brother Yue, have you gone into the deep mountains? I looked for you several times outside the mountains, but couldn't find you." He said with a tone full of grievance.

We made an appointment to go up the mountain together today.

When he woke up, there was no sign of him except for a few buns in the pot.

"I didn't walk very far. I just wandered around here. Come on, let's go home." Yang Rui didn't respond and continued walking back with firewood on his back.

When Shen Yan saw that he didn't say anything, he knew that he must be unhappy.

"Okay, it's my fault. I'll definitely call you next time, okay?"

"Here... I'm not angry anymore." Shen Yan took out another candy from his pocket, opened the package, and handed it to his mouth.

Xiao Rui took the candy, lowered his head and said nothing.

He looked at Shen Yan, and although he felt a little aggrieved, he couldn't help but laugh.

The two walked along the way, and Shen Yan talked to Yang Rui all the way. As Yang Rui listened, his mood gradually improved.

Soon we arrived at the doorstep.

The two men unloaded the firewood, and Shen Yan took out a rabbit and two chickens from the backpack.

"Xiao Rui, thank you for cooking for us tonight. I'm going to go out for a while." He had to sell the wild animals he hunted today on the black market.

When the time comes, he can exchange it for food so that he and Xiaorui can survive the winter.

"Okay, go ahead and be careful." Yang Rui seemed to have noticed something, but didn't say much.

I just looked at him and gave him a few instructions.

"Okay, I'll be back early." Shen Yan patted his shoulder, turned and walked out.

black market.

Shen Yan observed for a while and immediately determined his target. He walked towards a tall and thin man.

"Brother, do you want some meat?" Shen Yan lowered his voice.

The tall and thin man raised his head and looked at Shen Yan with a hint of doubt and vigilance in his eyes.

He nodded slightly, as if responding to Shen Yan's question, but seemed to be hiding something.

"Oh... I wonder how much you have? Is it pork?" he whispered.

"No, they are some wild animals, including roe deer. Do you want them?" Shen Yan observed the man's expression. When he heard the word roe deer, a bright light immediately flashed in his eyes.

"Then wait a moment, I'll go ask."

"Okay, if you want, I'll wait in the woods west of the town. If they don't come in half an hour, I'll find the next one..." Shen Yan nodded.

After the tall and thin man left, Shen Yan walked into the grove, leaned against a tree trunk, and waited quietly.

The woods were quiet, with the occasional sound of wind blowing through the trees.

Shen Yan looked at the time. Half an hour had passed, but there was still no sign of the man.
