Bi Qiao’an lay motionless in the icy snow, watching helplessly as the falling flakes slowly buried her. As her consciousness faded, her mind drifted back to the three arduous years she had spent ...
Chapter 962: Forced Climbing
Shen Yanming: “…” I feel a chill on my back, what’s wrong?
Qi Xili smiled and said, "Okay, I'm just kidding you, eat now!"
"Oh, good!" Shen Yanming took a bite of the rabbit leg and felt that it was a bit tasteless. Apart from anything else, he was definitely under more pressure than Qi Xili.
Bi Qiaoan in the space came over with the two kids after lunch and found Shen Yanming in a daze, so she asked, "What's wrong?"
Shen Yanming did not hide anything and told his wife about the current predicament: "Dear, what do you think they are thinking? Why do they treat me as a mascot?"
Bi Qiaoan smiled, not surprised at all. Her family's Old Shen was lucky, and he often used the materials in the space to subsidize others, so it was normal for everyone to have such an illusion.
"Wife, what do you think I should do?"
Bi Qiaoan suppressed his laughter: "Isn't this easy to solve? Didn't you release a batch of prey in Yunling Mountain last night? Can't you just lure the people over there?"
Chen Yanming: "...I know, but I just want to get rid of the title of 'lucky star'. If I lead people over there, wouldn't it be confirmed? Oh, I worked in vain, and the wild animals over at Yunling Mountain were released in vain."
Bi Qiaoan couldn't help but burst into laughter again. She couldn't see Shen Yanming's increasingly bitter look through the space.
"Hey, it's just a joke. Why haven't you recovered yet? Don't think about it. It's my fault." Qi Xili saw it and hurried to comfort him.
Shen Yanming reluctantly curled the corners of his lips, shook his head, and said nothing.
Qi Xili obviously felt that he was not in a good state, and he winked at Li Gangtie, thinking that he should not bring up this topic again in the future. Don't drive the child crazy.
Li Gangtie nodded to show that he understood.
Others also felt that the atmosphere was a bit tense, and looking at Shen Yanming's frown, they knew what was going on.
I thought that Old Shen was really unlucky as he was targeted by Captain Qi.
But judging from today's performance, it is clear that those people were exaggerating. Shen Yanming's good luck may be limited. Maybe he just happened to encounter so many prey that day, and the rumors were changed.
Shen Yanming was talking to Bi Qiaoan in the space and didn't notice the exchange of glances. But Bi Qiaoan in the space saw everything clearly through the transparent light curtain.
She smiled and said, "Let it be."
Shen Yanming nodded: “I understand.”
"Then eat your meal well. Look at you. You haven't even finished the rabbit leg in such a long time. It must be cold now, right?"
Shen Yanming came back to his senses, looked at the meat in his hand, put it in his mouth and chewed it. Sure enough, it was cold.
He didn't despise it, and quickly finished the meat and porridge in his hand. He simply wiped the bowl with snow and went to the river.
Qi Xili said it was time to pull the net, so he came over to see what was going on.
Several guards stood beside the ice hole and dragged the fishing net upwards. After a while, they saw the fish jumping in the net.
The varieties are still the same, but they are not as big as last year. It seems that they have only grown so much in this year.
There were quite a few, about 70 or 80 of them. They were all big fish weighing two or three pounds, which was not bad.
The group took the fish out and put it on the ground. In a few minutes, the fish was frozen solid.
Chang Anhui cast his net into the river again. Qi Xili felt that this was not going to work, so he split the group and went with him to look for other prey.
Shen Yanming thought about it and followed. He couldn't help if he stayed here anyway.
Bi Qiaoan followed his vision and saw the scenery inside the mountain. All the trees in the forest were dead, with only a few leaves hanging on the treetops. They fell down with the slightest breeze.
Because no one had walked there, the footprints on the snow were particularly obvious. Following the footprints, the group easily found a wild boar den.
Captain Qi was very brave, he took on a wild boar weighing 300 kilograms, and killed it with just a dagger without getting hurt.
The others cheered in delight.
The remaining two small ones were also taken care of by Li Gangtie and Liang Huaxin. They searched nearby and found two sheep, slaughtered them and dragged them back. When they felt that the time was almost up, they returned to the river.
Chang Anhui has gone fishing twice, and caught a total of 158 fish in the two times. Together with the first time, the total is 233.
It looks like a lot, but there are so many people coming. Compared with last year's results, it's really nothing. They have to stay outside for two or three days, fearing that they won't be able to catch enough fish in time to eat them.
Captain Qi was very worried. It was getting dark, but they had not made any significant progress.
"Xiao Tang, come down the mountain and deliver the prey." Otherwise, he would be worried about leaving four wild boars and hundreds of fish here.
"Okay, Captain Qi, don't worry, we'll be back soon." After Tang Shunlin said this, he led more than twenty people down the mountain.
Once they put the meat in the carriage, they returned the same way. It was minus 30 degrees Celsius outside, so there was no need to worry about the meat going bad.
Qi Xili was still worried until bedtime. Chen Yanming's eyes flickered and he said, "If it doesn't work, let's try another hill."
Qi Xili also thought about this question, but: "Where to go?"
"Let's go nearby. There are so many mountains here. Why don't we just take a walk around?" Shen Yanming said.
Qi Xili frowned, thinking that the terrain nearby was unfamiliar to him and he was afraid of danger.
At this time, a guard spoke up: "There are a lot of wild animals in Yunling Mountain. How about we go over there and take a look? It's closer to the guard team."
"Don't they say that the wild animals over there disappear when the weather gets cold? It's winter now, how can there still be animals over there?" Qi Xili asked.
"Who knows? Anyway, we don't have a clear goal, so let's just go there and take a look. Maybe if we're lucky, we can get something big. Even if not, we're close to the team and can go back early."
"Okay, let's wait until tomorrow. We can go fishing here now."
"Okay, Captain Qi."
After the group of people finished talking, they hid in the tent to sleep. Wrapped in sleeping bags and warmed by the fire, although it was cold, it was bearable.
Bi Qiaoan looked at her husband's difficult condition in the space and could only say softly: "Take care of yourself."
The corners of Shen Yanming's lips curled up, he felt cold from head to toe, but his heart was somewhat relieved.
Oh my, that little cutie is really awesome. With just two sentences, Qi Xili was taken to Yunling Mountain. Now, they won't say they are lucky anymore.
But what he didn't know was that after the great victory at Yunling Mountain, Qi Xili really felt that he had an inexcusable relationship with Shen Yanming.
If he hadn't suggested changing the location, the guard wouldn't have suggested Yunling Mountain. They would probably have fought to the death here. After all, it was Old Shen who gave them the opportunity.
If Chen Yanming knew, he would definitely say, "You are forcing yourself to get involved!"
