It was Sheng Xiping's strong opposition, coupled with the fact that Hua Hua was too young and still needed to be breastfed, making it unsuitable to send her to the provincial capital, that prevented her from being sent away.

Sheng Xiping had promised the leaders of the forest farm that Huahua would be released back into the wild once she grew up, and only then did the forest farm agree to let him keep Huahua.

Hua Hua is a tiger, so her treatment is naturally different.

But if they catch two roe deer, one male and one female, believe me, if they take them back today, someone will report them to the farm tomorrow?

Given the current situation, it's best to avoid trouble.

In a few years, when the policies change, if you really want to do some side hustles, you can think about it.

Even if you were to raise them, you shouldn't raise roe deer. These creatures have no other use besides meat; their added value is too low.

If you're going to raise animals, raise sika deer or musk deer, as they not only provide meat but also have medicinal value.

Everyone agreed. Given the current situation, even secretly planting small plots of wasteland is not allowed, let alone raising roe deer.

Forget it, raising those things is too much trouble and effort, and they might get sick and die if you don't take care of them.

It's not as good as they are now; if they want to eat something, they can just come into the mountains and hunt it.

The two roe deer must have died recently, as their bodies were still soft.

So they quickly untied the ropes, opened the abdomen, and took out all the contents to prevent the cavity from becoming stuffy and smelly.

"Xiping, should we feed the dog?" Gao Haining asked as he took out the goods.

"No need to feed them, just tempt them, otherwise they won't be able to work."

Upon hearing this, Sheng Xiping laughed, ignoring the dogs' enthusiastic gazes, and spoke directly.

How much can two roe deer produce? Thirteen dogs simply won't be enough to go around.

Now that we're up in the mountains, the dogs have to do some work. We can't just pick up the scraps without doing anything clean.

Both roe deer were gutted and their offal removed. They stuffed some snow into their bellies, buried the offal in snow for a while, and then stuffed it back into their bellies after it cooled down.

"Second brother, third brother, you two take this roe deer, as well as those pheasants and rabbits from earlier, back with you."

"Deliver it directly to Uncle Chen's house and tell them to get it ready quickly so they can use it tomorrow."

Sheng Xiping waved his hand, signaling Sheng Xi'an and Sheng Xikang to go back first.

Firstly, it would be inconvenient and too tiring to carry those things further into the mountains; secondly, it was important to deliver them to the Chen family as soon as possible so they could be quickly prepared for the banquet tomorrow.

The two roe deer weren't very heavy, only about a hundred pounds each. Sheng Xi'an tied them together with rope and dragged them on the snow.

The pheasants and rabbits were packed in sacks, and Sheng Xikang could carry them if he wanted, or he could tie a rope to them and drag them along.

Anyway, the two brothers managed to get all that stuff back.

The dogs had thought they were going to get some food, and they were all wagging their tails and watching as people dealt with the roe deer.

As a result, after the two roe deer finished cleaning, they didn't even leave their intestines behind; they just scrambled around and took everything away.

The dogs were completely dumbfounded, not understanding what this meant.

"Awooo, awooo, awooo!" Erlang Shen was displeased and howled at Sheng Xiping in protest.

The Liu brothers have been busy lately and haven't had time to take them up the mountain.

When a dog goes into the mountains to hunt, at least it can eat the offal or something; no matter what, it's still meat.

Normally, when they don't go up the mountain, they basically eat potato and squash porridge as dog food, maybe with a little cornmeal added, and their living standards have plummeted.

The dogs were already impatient, eager to get up the mountain and have a good fight so they could get some meat.

We finally made it up the mountain today and even spotted some prey, but we didn't even get a single hair on them. The stingy owner took them all.

Would the dogs be happy now? As soon as Erlang Shen started barking, the other dogs also began to howl.

"What are you yelling about? You didn't do anything, all you thought about was eating!"

Sheng Xiping gently kicked Erlang Shen and untied the rope around Erlang Shen's neck.

"Let's go, let's go into the mountains. Whether we can get meat today depends entirely on your skills."

Erlang Shen didn't know if he understood Sheng Xiping's words, but as soon as the rope was untied, he darted away.

They hadn't run far into the woods when Erlang Shen looked up and sniffed, immediately barking loudly.

Needless to say, this guy must have discovered something.

Seeing this, Wang Jianshe and others untied the other dogs as well.

The dogs had been craving meat for a while and were probably really eager to get some. As soon as the leash was loosened, they took off running towards Erlang Shen, howling loudly.

Liu's two dogs, Dalong and Erhu, had already gone hunting in the mountains. Zhaocai and Wangfu had only gone twice. The two little dogs were not to be outdone and ran quite fast.

"Let's go and see what Erlang Shen has encountered."

Sheng Xiping waved to Wang Jianshe and the others, who, carrying guns, followed Gouzi and headed towards the distant mountains and forests.

Erlang Shen led the way, followed by Daqing, Black General, Leopard, and others. The thirteen dogs galloped wildly across the snow, sending snowflakes flying high into the air.

Led by Erlang Shen, the dogs traversed mountains and ridges, eventually arriving at a grove of oak trees on a sunny slope.

Right there in this oak forest, in a sheltered hollow, were seven or eight wild boars lying around.

A three-hundred-pound running basket, with two sows, two piglets from the previous year, and three yellow-haired calves.

Sheng Xiping and his group had gone into the mountains long ago to hunt the pigs. At this moment, the pigs were still asleep in a circle.

The basket-running creature was fast asleep when it suddenly sensed something was wrong. It immediately made a "ring, ring" sound and stood up.

The commotion caused by the running basket startled the other pigs in the herd, and they all got up from the ground, making "gurgling" sounds.
