Siheyuan: There are seven fairies in my house, I am so busy

The only useful tool I have now is the slingshot. There are stones everywhere on the mountain. Pick up some stones of suitable sizes and see what you can get with the slingshot.

In fact, Zhang Jialiang was quite excited. Which man is not interested in hunting?

Hunting and fishing, the joy of harvest is very addictive. No matter what era, there will always be foolish men who go astray and fall into this trap. Fishing will make you poor for a lifetime, while bird hunting will ruin three generations.

If they could get some prey, that would be great, as it would greatly improve their family's living conditions. At least they would have no problem eating meat from time to time.

If there is any extra money, you can exchange it for some money or bills. Then wouldn’t life have hope?

This made him full of motivation. To be honest, his motivation for eating meat was stronger. When he thought of a pot of stewed rabbit meat or pheasant, he couldn't help drooling. If all else failed, sparrows, quails, turtledoves or other birds would also be fine.

There should be no other people living in this space, and there are no signs of human activity in this area. There are no villages, no farmlands, and everything is in a primitive wilderness state.

He collected some suitable stones, put them into the space, and began to look for suitable prey with a slingshot.

Although there are various small animals here, the density is not as high as imagined. He can only see them from a distance. Before he gets close, these rabbits and pheasants will leave quickly and vigilantly, leaving him no chance at all.

Moreover, there were no roads here, only rolling hills. Although the hills were not high, they were overgrown with weeds and thorns. Not to mention chasing prey, even walking alone would make him panting and sweating after a while.

His clothes were covered with leaves of various weeds and seeds of some unknown plants with hard barbs. What's worse, all the exposed skin on his arms, faces and calves were scratched. Although he didn't bleed much, the red marks on his skin made him feel painful. Coupled with the large amount of sweat, the wounds were even more painful when they came into contact with the sweat containing salt.

This was totally different from what he had imagined. Even in that world, he lived in a small mountain village like this. But at least there were people living there, and there were some paths on the mountain that could be walked on. It was not like here, where everything was in a primitive state. There was no road and he walked around aimlessly without knowing the direction. After two hours, he was too tired to walk anymore. In addition, he had lost a lot of water, so he quickly finished the drinking water he had with him. He was hot, thirsty, and tired, and felt a little depressed for a while.

No, I have to find a place to rest. I can't stand it anymore. I should think about what to do. It's not okay to rush in and fight randomly. I won't get anything without any hunting experience, and I'll be exhausted.

He found a small tree, and there happened to be a relatively smooth stone under the shade of the tree. He sat down on the stone. At this time, a breeze blew, taking away the sweat on his body, and brought waves of coolness, making him feel much more comfortable.

It seems that hunting in this way is not possible, as it consumes too much physical energy. We should find a suitable place and wait for the prey. At least we cannot move over such a large area. We should stay in a small area or simply not move. That way at least we won't be too tired. If there is a water source in this place, it would be even better.

His main purpose from then on was no longer hunting, but to find a suitable hunting area and, most importantly, a water source.

In fact, hunting areas and water sources should overlap. Generally, where there is water, there will be a variety of animals living around it, and water sources will also be places where wild animals gather.

After more than an hour, he suddenly found a very small stream more than 10 meters in front of him. The water volume of the stream was really not large, and the water flow was not much greater than the water flowing out of the tap in the courtyard, but as long as there was a water source, it was fine.

He now walked upstream along the water source. After more than 20 minutes, he found a small puddle. The area of ​​the puddle was not large, only about five or six square meters. Because of the water, the surrounding plants appeared more lush, and there were a few scattered tall trees.

Zhang Jialiang thought this place was very nice, with water and a good environment. There should be a lot of small animals living around the puddle, so he decided to set up camp nearby.

The water here is so clear and clean that in areas with frequent water flow, you can see the rocks and fine sand on the bottom of the water at a glance.

He was extremely thirsty. He had lost too much water in the hot weather and was in urgent need of replenishing it. He lowered his head and put his mouth directly into the water. After taking a few sips, he felt that the water quality was very good and even had a hint of sweetness.

After drinking the water, he found a big tree and climbed up. There were several branches in the middle of the trunk of the tree that formed a very suitable position, and it was very comfortable for people to sit on it.

The reason why we chose to stand on the tree is because the view here is better. Standing high and seeing far, we can see more clearly some movements around the puddle, and the probability of discovering animals is greater.

I replenished some food on the tree. The few steamed buns I bought at that time were of great use now. Then I waited quietly on the tree.

Hard work pays off. An hour later, a huge rabbit approached the puddle stealthily and cautiously.

Seeing the rabbit, Zhang Jialiang suddenly became excited. He slowly raised the slingshot in his hand, aimed, pulled the string, and fired in one go. The action looked cool, but the result was a mess.

He hit the stone on the slingshot into a small puddle, making a "puff!" sound and splashing a lot of water, which scared the rabbit. The rabbit was frightened and quickly turned its head and dived into the grass and disappeared in a flash.

Zhang Jialiang was furious as he watched the huge rabbit slip away from his sight. Such a good pot of rabbit meat disappeared in the blink of an eye.

This made him feel a little sad and annoyed at the same time. The slingshot was too inaccurate and was several meters away from the rabbit.

This technique still needs to be practiced. He feels that children are more accurate than him. It was not like this when he was young. It seems that his business has been neglected in recent years. He hasn't touched a slingshot for several years and his technique has become rusty.

There is no way, the rabbit has already run away, it is impossible to chase it, and we can only wait for the next prey to come.

More than half an hour later, a pheasant came to the puddle stealthily. This pheasant was very smart. It stopped and looked up from time to time, and remained alert even when drinking water.

The uniqueness of the pheasant lies not only in its gorgeous feathers, but also in its alert and sharp eyes.

It observes its surroundings alertly and is ready to respond to danger at any time.
