Chapter 301 Go Hunting

"However, how about this, we invite them twice, separately, once in town, so that it will be convenient for my uncle and his family.

Invite them again in the county town, so that my uncle and his family won’t have to go there and get stuck.” Li Wanqing just happened to come out and heard what Gu Nian said.

"That's fine, but it's better to have fun together." Gu Yan was still not very willing to invite everyone separately.

"You have booked the place, I will go to my uncle's house later." Gu Nian said.

This matter needs to be notified in advance, so that if they have something to do, arrangements can be made in advance.

"Thank you very much for your help. Come to my place for dinner in the evening." When people come to help, you can't let them go back with an empty stomach.

In recent years, their relationship has been neither good nor bad, and they just treat each other like ordinary relatives.

So there's nothing wrong with letting them have a meal.

"Okay, let's come over in the evening. I'll ask your sister-in-law to help." Gu Nian agreed happily.

"I asked Cuifang to come over too. We have some bamboo shoots at home, which I dug yesterday. My third sister-in-law likes to eat them, so I asked Cuifang to bring some over." Gu Chuan knew that Li Wanqing and the others would come back every year to dig bamboo shoots because Li Wanqing loved to eat them.

"Okay, I'll go around again and see if I can bring anything back." Gu Yan agreed readily.

After Gu Nian and Gu Chuan left, Gu Yan and Li Wanqing also prepared to go out. They were going to hunt some prey, not only for dinner but also for entertaining guests.

"Xuanxuan, take your brothers and sisters to pick mushrooms nearby. If there are any chestnuts, walnuts, etc., you can also pick them up.

"But don't go too far, we won't be back for lunch, so make something for yourselves." Li Wanqing instructed Xuanxuan.

"I understand, Mom, don't worry, I will take good care of my brothers and sisters.

I took them both to pick walnuts. There are a few walnut trees on the hillside over there, not far from home." Xuanxuan changed out of his long gown and wore an ordinary pair of trousers and a jacket today.

"You two must listen to your brother and don't run around." After instructing Xuanxuan, Li Wanqing also instructed Hengheng and Xuexue.

"I know, Mom. I will be good." Xuexue said obediently.

"Mom, I will also look after my sister." Hengheng also said.

"Okay, you all be good." Li Wanqing touched their heads one by one.

After settling the children, Gu Yan and Li Wanqing went out.

They had to rush back in the afternoon, so they didn't stop along the way. Even if they saw walnuts, chestnuts, etc., they didn't pick them up.

He went straight to Wild Boar Ridge.

Although this place is called Wild Boar Ridge, there are not only wild boars, but also various large animals.

Because there is a stream here, animals come here to drink water.

Gu Yan and Li Wanqing were lucky. When they arrived there, there were a few cows drinking water there.

Although it’s not the sika deer that Gu Yan and the others want, beef is also good.

There was already a trap dug by Gu Yan here. Now all we had to do was drive the bison towards the trap.

Gu Yan is familiar with this job, after all, he does it every year.

"Yoho, hoho..." Gu Yan broke off a branch and started waving it from a distance.

The bison were frightened and fled in all directions. Two of them happened to run towards the trap in panic.

"Plop, plop." After hearing two plops, he fell into the trap.

"Okay, wifey, you wait here, I'll go over and take a look." Gu Yan looked at the two bison falling into the trap and ran over excitedly.

Li Wanqing didn't listen to him and wait there, but instead slowly walked over.

There were bamboo thorns in the trap, and one of the cows was pierced in the neck by the thorns. Now it is breathing out more than breathing in.

Another cow had a prick on its hoof and was now jumping around trying to get out.

Gu Yan took out a bow and arrow and shot at the standing bison.

Gu Yan's archery skills were quite accurate. He shot the bison in the vitals with one arrow. The bison struggled twice, then fell to the ground with a plop and twitched.

Gu Yan waited until the bison in the trap was completely silent before he went down carefully.

Only after confirming that the bison had no attack power did Li Wanqing come down and put the bison into the space.

"Wife, you rest here. There are two traps over there. I'll go see if there are any prey." After climbing out of the trap, Gu Yan found a safe place for Li Wanqing to sit.

"No need. I see two persimmon trees halfway up the mountain. I'll go pick some persimmons." Li Wanqing said, pointing to the middle of the mountain.

Gu Yan saw that the halfway point of the mountain was not far away and this area was safe, so he agreed: "Okay, then you be careful, if you can't reach the tree, wait for me to reach it, don't climb the tree.

Also, if there is any danger, just scream, I'm here."

"I understand." Li Wanqing is an old hand at mountain running, so how could she not know these things?

The persimmon tree was not very tall, so Li Wanqing found a big stone and used space assistance to place the big stone under the persimmon tree.

Then people stand on the stones to pick persimmons.

There are only two trees in total, and they don't bear many persimmons, only about seventy.

Li Wanqing didn't pick all of them. She couldn't reach the ones on the top of the tree, so she didn't pick them. In the end, she only picked fifty-six.

Over there, Gu Yan checked the two traps, but there was no prey in them.

But this is normal. Gu Yan was not disappointed. He had already killed two bison today. Even if he couldn't kill anything next time, it would be fine.

"Wife, it's almost noon, let's take a break?" Gu Yan came over.

“Well, I’ll just take these off.

"How's the trap? Any prey?" Li Wanqing wiped the sweat off her forehead.

"Wife, please come down. I'll take care of the rest." Gu Yan hurried forward to help Li Wanqing down.

Li Wanqing came down and put the persimmons in her hand into the basket.

“There’s nothing in the trap, it was a wasted trip.

But it’s okay. The animals should come to drink water at noon. I’ll wait by the stream and I’m sure I’ll be able to catch some prey.

I just wonder if there will be any sika deer coming over." Gu Yan said as he picked persimmons.

"That's okay. If there's no sika deer, then we won't eat venison. It's the same if we have beef." Li Wanqing said indifferently.

"What do you want to eat for lunch? Li Wanqing took out the teapot and teacup from the space and poured water to drink.

"Have some dumplings stuffed with leeks." Gu Yan also came over to drink water.

"Okay, then I'll eat dumplings too." Li Wanqing said as she took out two bowls of dumplings.

The two of them had a simple meal and then returned to the stream.

Li Wanqing was digging wild vegetables nearby. Most of the wild vegetables were dead at this time of year, but there were still some here, probably because it was next to the river. There were still some tender ones.

Their luck was really good today. Just when Gu Yan shot a few pheasants and was about to go back, a herd of deer came to drink water.

"Let's go, let's go back. There will be no deer coming to drink water today." Li Wanqing stood up and said.

"Well, let's go. I thought we could hunt two deer today. But it would be nice to have a bison too." Gu Yan stood up helplessly.
