265 But Gangshan

Even in drought, you can still find a lot of medicinal herbs in the forest, and occasionally you can pick some ripe fruits.

Xiao Wu and Lin Feng deliberately approached their master every half an hour, and only started looking for prey after seeing that everyone was fine.

Ping An did not carry a bow and arrow when he went up the mountain, but he brought a crossbow. He had invented this crossbow last year, and it was made by Li the blacksmith. Because of the high quality of the material, his people have been able to have one in each hand. It is easy to carry, only half the size of a large bow, and has good explosive power. Of course, its long-range shooting cannot be compared with that of a real bow and arrow.

He also drew an arm crossbow, which was even smaller and was tied to the arm. It was covered by the sleeve and could not be seen at all. However, Master Li did not have time to make it yet, but he was not in a hurry.

This time his master brought all the drawings with him, saying that he would ask the military to take them back when they arrived at the border town. It would be better if they were useful, since they were weapons after all, and it would be better if they had a clear way out.

"Master Ping'an, look." Qingshi and Wu Jun came over excitedly, carrying a small roe deer.

"Wow, you two even hunted this good thing. Amazing. I've eaten it several times in Medicine Valley before. It tastes better than other wild animals."

Wu Jun nodded fiercely: "Master Ping'an is right. I like to eat the meat of this thing the most. I have 30 kilograms. Qingshi and I will go and put it away."

Ping An said, "Hang it as high as possible."

Their team was walking up the left side of the mountain, while the master and his team were walking up the right side of the mountain. I had just agreed with He Jin and his team that it was impossible to carry the prey or other things they had hunted all the time, so they should try to put them on the largest and tallest trees in the middle of the mountainside, which would be safer and easier to find.

"Qingshi, take this over too." This was the wild yam he had just dug, a full cloth bag, perhaps thirty or forty kilograms.

Wild yam was also very valuable in ancient times. It could be used as medicine and also as a medicated food.

Qingshi said, "Master Ping'an, we also saw yam vines where we just hunted for robes. We will go and dig them out later. There are still many good things on this mountain. Don't people nearby come to look for them?"

Ping An laughed, "Do you think everyone has kung fu skills like us? Roughly speaking, we have been on the mountain for an hour and a half. We should be at our posts in another hour. There is no good stuff at the foot of the mountain."

Wu Jun laughed at the side: "Master Ping'an is right. When we first came up the mountain, the leaves were all dry. Now it's much better. I also filled the water bag with mountain spring water. Master Ping'an, do you want to drink it?"

Ping An shook his head: "You guys go quickly, let's go up and see what the top of the hill looks like when we get there."

The capital of Yunzhou is only a four-day drive from Youzhou, or more than ten days on foot. He was very curious about what kind of mountain could be connected to Youzhou. You know, Youzhou is actually a border town, and the northernmost part of Youzhou is the border line.

After a while, Lin Feng and Xiao Wuye came over. They were actually carrying a yellow goat. The meat of this kind of goat is the most delicious and not very smelly.

"Awesome, you two are awesome too. Qingshi and Wu Jun just made a robe and put it over there. Hurry up and put it up on the tree. Uncle He and the others will come over soon. I'm afraid they may not make more than us."

Xiao Wu and Lin Feng were happy, as they had good luck today.

"Xiao Wu, we'll go to the post in a bit. We agreed to meet up with Master and the others there as well."

As soon as he finished speaking, Erqiang's voice came from the left side of the mountain. Not long after, several people appeared in front of him. Each of them had two or three small prey hanging on his body, but none of them looked decent.

Seeing Xiao Wu and Lin Feng who didn't have time to release their prey, Er Qiang and the others were filled with envy and jealousy. They thought that the prey they put their whole heart into hunting was not as good as the prey they collected for medicinal herbs.

He Jin also laughed and shook his head: "Erqiang, don't delay, put all your things in a backpack, and go with Xiaowu and the others to put them on the tree, and then we will go to the post, we can't let the eldest master and the others wait for too long."

A quarter of an hour later, the ten people were divided into two teams and walked up the hill. Ping An still walked on the left side. The mountain on the left was lower, the ground was more moist, and there were more medicinal herbs accordingly.

Ping An gradually walked into a depression and unexpectedly found a lot of wood ears. Lin Feng followed closely behind him. The closer they got to the hill, the less he and Master Xiao Wu planned to look for prey. They would hunt if they met one, and it didn't matter if they didn't. Protecting the master was the most important thing.

"Lin Feng, there are some over there. This kind of dead tree is most likely to grow wood ear mushrooms. What a pity..."

Lin Feng thought he was saying it was a pity that he couldn't bring it to the farm, so he said that Bao Shu also had one at his farm.

Ping An smiled and didn't explain. Even if he explained, Lin Feng wouldn't understand. He felt sorry for himself being reincarnated. Apart from the memories of his past life, he had no golden fingers. It would be good if he had a small storage space.

However, human desires are endless. Once he has storage space, he may wonder why it is not also growth space.

Better not think about it.

"Lin Feng, look." Ping An pointed at a big yellow sheep, "Look, is it the same one you just beat?"

Lin Feng lowered his voice and said, "It's very similar, but it's bigger than the one Master Xiao Wu and I had. I'll call Master Xiao Wu over."

Ping An signaled him to go quickly, as he was not sure he could hunt this thing with Lin Feng.

The meat of yellow sheep is delicious and tastes good no matter how it is cooked, but it runs very fast and is not easy to hunt.

Soon, Xiao Wu came with Qing Shi and Wu Jun. After a quiet discussion, they decided to disperse and surround the enemy. If they could capture this one, they would have enough prey for the day.

Ping'an and Lin Feng went to block the yellow sheep's retreat, while Xiaowu brought Qingshi and Wu Jun to hunt them head on. Even though there were three of them, they had to separate themselves a little, otherwise they might not be able to stop the sheep, and they might run away if an arrow missed their target.

Ping An and Lin Feng took a long detour before they managed to block the yellow sheep's retreat. However, Xiao Wu's arrow only hit the yellow sheep's skin and flesh, but not its vital parts. The yellow sheep turned around and rushed towards Ping An.

Ping An instinctively gave way, but the yellow sheep had excellent jumping ability and quickly rushed over.

Lin Feng was shocked, but fortunately, his master moved away. The yellow sheep is not a ferocious beast, but it can still rush towards him with great force.

Ping An didn't have time to talk to Lin Feng. He became interested in hunting and chased after the gazelle, which had an arrow stuck in its body.

The forest was not very deep, and he used some light skills to quickly approach the yellow goat. The few people behind him also caught up.

"Puff, puff." Ping An raised his crossbow and shot two arrows in succession. Each arrow penetrated the flesh. The yellow sheep screamed a few times and finally fell down dozens of meters away.

Ping'an was happy and walked towards the prey, but his joy turned into sorrow and he fell into a deep pit.
