Siheyuan: Big City, Small Love

In the next few days, the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, the First Machinery Plant, and of course Nanluoguxiang all started wild boar hunting activities.

Unfortunately, the effect was not as good as when He Lai was here. The steel rolling mill caught wild boars three times, but only caught three or four wild boars each time. Although it was a bit disappointing, it was better than before. At least there were about four or five hundred kilograms of wild boar meat.

On the weekend, He Lai got up early and took the bus to Wild Duck Lake. Feilong, I missed you so much!

He Lai got off the bus at Wild Duck Lake Station. The driver reminded He Lai that there was a bus at 12: noon and the last bus was at : p.m., so he must not miss it, otherwise he would not be able to go back.

When He Lai looked at the Wild Duck Lake, he realized that it was a bit primitive, with wetlands, reeds, and bushes everywhere, making it difficult to walk around.

The Wild Duck Lake itself is a wetland formed after the construction of the Guanting Reservoir in 1954 to prevent flooding in the Yongding River.

He Lai could only wander around the edge to see if there was a way to get in.

He Lai looked at the big birds taking off from time to time and felt itchy in his heart. There is no such thing as protecting animals nowadays. These are all meat!

It would be great to take such a big one back home. It’s definitely better than any flying dragon!

He Lai saw a few swans landing not far from him. He didn't care whether it was a wetland or not, and slowly crawled closer, hoping that his ability could reach the swans.

Fortunately, the animals here were not very alert and did not notice He Lai's presence at all.

He Lai harvested four swans in a short time, each weighing more than twenty kilograms.

He Lai no longer remembers flying dragons. Aren’t wild swans and big birds more attractive? He Lai is harvesting everywhere, and he chases any big animal he sees.

He Lai could hear the sound of hunting rifles from time to time, it seemed that there were a lot of people hunting here.

After all, no one is in charge of this area yet, and no one is in charge of hunting rifles. This place is far away from the city, and not many people know about this place.

He Lai also took out his own water beads, which would be able to scare those hunters.

After more than two hours of hunting, He Lai harvested a lot of birds in his space. He didn’t know what kind of birds they were. He only knew white swans and a few red-crowned cranes!

My shoes and pants were wet, but luckily there were clothes in the space, so I quickly took them off and changed them.

He Lai was just planning to kill two unfamiliar creatures and take them back to report when he suddenly heard a clear cry from the sky.

He Lai looked up and suddenly found a black shadow in the sky. Upon closer inspection, he found it was an eagle! He was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth. There was an eagle here?

He Lai was very excited, thinking that maybe he could catch it. So he began to observe whether the eagle would come down to look for food, and if he could take this opportunity to put it in the space, that would be great.

He Lai followed the eagle carefully, trying to stay as quiet as possible so as not to disturb it. He could only try to get closer to the eagle, which would increase his chances of success.

However, the eagle did not seem to be willing to give him this opportunity. It kept circling in the sky and showed no sign of coming down to look for food. He Lai could not help but feel a little disappointed, but he was still unwilling to give up easily.

He Lai followed the eagle closely, and even though he raised his neck, the eagle just wouldn't come down.

Before I knew it, more than two hours had passed and it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.

He Lai cursed inwardly, "What a waste of time! How much better it would be to use this time to catch birds."

Just when He Lai was about to give up, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the eagle finally dived to the ground. He immediately quickened his pace and ran towards the eagle.

Soon, He Lai arrived at the scene. He saw the eagle tightly grasping a bird larger than itself, trying to kill it. He Lai couldn't help laughing, he knew his chance had come.

He tiptoed closer, then quickly put the eagle and the captured big bird into the space.

Haha, there is an eagle, I don't know if it is a golden eagle! If it is, it will be great! If I tame it, I can do whatever I want with it.

I took out two big birds from the space, then put the gun back into the space, and went to the bus station to wait for the bus. It was a busy day, but I gained a lot!

Soon, three hunters who were preparing to get on the car came over to He Lai. They also had a bag in their hands, and it seemed that they had a good harvest.

"Hey, young man, you are lucky to pick up a white stork and a bustard. These are good things."

A hunter laughed.

"Hehe, I just happened to see them injured and falling at my feet, so I picked them up. I don't even know what they are called. Thank you, uncle. You got much more than me."

He Lai looked at the prey and hunting rifle in the hunter's hand and thanked him.

After all, it’s a good thing to know the names of these two birds!

"Hey, I was lucky today. I caught a few more. Normally, I'd be lucky if I could catch one or two."

The hunters were also happy about today's harvest.

"Haha, maybe today is our lucky day." He Lai echoed.

"Don't grab them by the neck, as that can easily kill them. Grab them by the wings instead," the hunter reminded.

"Oh, oh, thank you." He Lai quickly changed hands and grabbed the bird's wings.

Soon, the bus arrived.

He Lai and the hunters got in the car.

"Uncle, are you going to eat the things in your hands or sell them?" He Lai had his eyes on their prey.

"We sold them. How can we afford to eat all of them? We sold them to exchange for food."

The hunter smiled bitterly.

"How do you sell it? Sell it to me." He Lai said with a smile.

"Oh, how much do you want to buy?" When the hunter heard that He Lai wanted to buy something, he immediately became interested, and the two people next to him also looked over.

"Give all three of you to me. I'm not short of money." He Lai said with a smile.

"You want all of them? We each have thirty or forty kilograms. I also have four flying dragons. They are very expensive."

The hunter was a little bit unconvinced that He Lai had so much money.

"Uncle, please hold it for me." He Lai handed the thing in his hand to another hunter, then took out a wad of money.

"Uncle, do you see? I have money."

The three hunters were stunned when they saw He Lai's money. They didn't expect He Lai to be so rich.

"Here, little brother, our three bags weigh about 120 kilograms, and we're selling them for one yuan each. How about you give me 20 yuan for the four flying dragons?"

The hunter discussed with the two people next to him and then spoke.

"Okay, here's one hundred and forty yuan, count it." He Lai counted out one hundred and forty yuan and gave it to the hunter, thinking to himself that this flying dragon was indeed a good thing, it actually cost five yuan each!

The hunter took the money and counted it. After making sure it was correct, he took the two hunters' bags, opened the bags and showed them to He.

"Little brother, look here. Although our prey is dead, the blood has been drained and the blood has been separately packaged. There are also two flying dragons. Take a look."

The hunter took out bottles and jars of blood and two flying dragons and showed them to He.

He Lai looked at the things and nodded with satisfaction.

"Okay, I'm fine."

The three hunters laughed and tied the bag again, along with He Lai's two birds, and gave them to He Lai.

"Then we won't go to the city. Goodbye, little brother." The three hunters stood up and prepared to get off the car.

"Goodbye."

"Master, please stop the car, thank you."

Soon the three hunters got off the bus, leaving only the driver, the conductor and He Lai in the car.

He Lai felt embarrassed and took out two packs of Daqianmen cigarettes and gave them to the ticket seller.

"Sister, this pack of cigarettes is for my brother-in-law, and the other pack can be given to the driver."

"Oh, you're quite sensible, young man. Don't worry, we've seen this kind of thing many times, and we won't spread it around. Just keep your things safe."

The conductor was not polite and took what He Lai gave him. He walked up to the driver and gave him a packet.

He Lai also smiled, then put the two birds into the bag, preparing to put them back into the space when the time comes. Fortunately, he didn't kill them.
