In the afternoon, Yun Huaying went to the team leader in advance to collect the reward, and then carried a basket into the mountains to look for medicinal herbs.
She had just asked for leave from the team leader and would go to the county town tomorrow morning. This time she planned to go to the black market to sell some chickens, ducks and eggs in the space. If she could get some game today, she would sell it as well.
"Oh wow, the goods are available so soon."
As soon as they arrived at the old trap, they saw two fat gray rabbits lying on the ground. Yun Huaying picked them up, weighed them, and then threw them into the space.
The traps nearby all showed signs of being trapped, and Yun Huaying must have been hit by wild game, so she searched carefully within a circle of 100 meters. If she thought too much, she actually found three stunned pheasants, which were about the same weight as yesterday's, and threw them all in.
He rearranged the trap, put some bait into the pit, and then carried the basket straight to the next stronghold.
The harvest at the second stronghold on the back of the mountain was not as great. Only two rabbits were picked up, one of which was a pregnant female rabbit. Yun Huaying did not let the female rabbit go. She fed it some antidote and then put it in the space to raise it.
Rabbits have a strong reproductive capacity. Although she doesn't know how to raise rabbits, Yundi is a magical space. The internal environment will not breed any diseases or bacteria. It is also nourished by an inexplicable airflow. Therefore, whether it is humans or animals, their bodies will be well maintained if they stay in the space.
Now she has transplanted various creatures into the space, including many vegetable and grain species. Chickens, ducks and rabbits can find food to eat in the space, and there is no danger of natural enemies, so there is no need to worry about them not being able to reproduce.
The third trap base was exactly where she had picked up eggs before, and this was the place she was most looking forward to.
When Yun Huaying climbed to the highest point with the empty basket on his back, he was a little out of breath. He took a short rest at the place where he had rested before, and then hurried to the dense forest to check the situation.
"Huh? Not even one?"
The greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment. Yun Huaying searched around but didn't find any trace of game.
"Half of the bait is gone. There's no way there aren't any."
Yun Huaying believed in the drug she had made. If the bait was not less, it would be normal that no wild game was caught. But now the bait was obviously less, the trap she dug was also activated, and there were obvious footprints. It was impossible that no one was caught.
But after searching again and expanding the search area, they still found no trace of game.
"That's really interesting."
Yun Huaying narrowed her eyes and had a guess in her mind: "It seems that someone picked it up in advance."
As for who this person was, she couldn't guess for sure, but she ruled out Lin Shan, Jiang Yuan, and Han Zheng.
She had met Han Zheng just before she went up the mountain. He had planned to accompany her to the mountains to look for medicinal herbs, but was dragged away by the team leader. He assembled two machines for the Dongjiang Brigade, and the commune leader asked to meet with him. He was in the commune with the team leader at the moment.
"I was working hard in the front, and you were picking peaches from the back, leaving none for me. Your eating habits were really ugly."
Yun Huaying would not tolerate such a person and wanted to catch this person. Without saying a word, she set up the trap and put more rice into the trap. Then she left with the basket on her back to look for medicinal herbs in a safe place nearby.
Almost two and a half hours later, Yun Huaying took a detour and returned. She had been looking for medicinal herbs along the way, and was actually distracted and alert to her surroundings, so she didn't notice that she was being followed or monitored.
She thought about the man who was picking peaches and didn't follow closely. She guessed that he was calculating the time and wanted to take action before she came to pick up the game.
Estimating the time, if the other party wanted to pick peaches, they should be here soon, so she hurried back. Seeing the unconscious wild game on the ground, she raised her eyebrows and said, "I knew it, someone must have been infected."
After saying that, he did not pick up the game. Instead, he quickly found a place with a good view and climbed up a lush tree trunk that was not easily noticed to hide.
After waiting for about twenty minutes, there was movement in the forest.
In the southeast direction, a group of birds perched on the trees seemed to be frightened and flapped their wings and flew into the sky.
Yun Huaying looked in the direction of the sound and listened carefully. She could faintly hear a "woooo" sound. It was very soft and weak, but it kept coming one after another, like the cry of a newborn animal. She raised her eyebrows and asked, "How could such a weak sound scare away all the birds?"
She was not a very curious person and had no intention of looking. Her goal was to find out who was picking the peaches.
There was a noise in the forest before, and Yun Huaying thought it was people picking peaches, so she became alert. But now she was sure that the noise was made by animals, so she leaned against the tree trunk and slowly ate the oranges grown in the space.
“Ouch!”
A roar came from behind, frightening Yun Huaying so much that her soul almost left her body, and she dropped the orange she hadn't finished peeling.
She turned around suddenly and saw a Husky with gray-brown hair.
No, this is not Erha.
It's a wolf!
Its eyes were sharp and fierce, its teeth were sharp, and its tail was drooping and tucked under.
And the sound just now, it wasn't "woof woof", it was "aww"...
Yun Huaying is usually quite calm and had never expected that there would be a wolf here, even walking on the edge of the village where people gathered. Now she was so frightened that her heartstrings were tense. She immediately climbed up and hugged a big tree trunk, looking nervously at the thin gray wolf in front of her.
The gray wolf tilted its neck and looked at her, staring at her for a long time. Seeing that this human did not make any move to attack it, and that she also had an aura that animals instinctively liked, it howled at her.
Yun Huaying: "...I don't understand wolf language."
The gray wolf didn't understand human language either. It slowly moved forward with its limbs and stopped under the tree trunk.
Yun Huaying had some common sense; she knew most wolves couldn't climb trees. Seeing it walk up to the trunk and stay put, she felt a pang of anxiety: What was it doing? Just squatting there, waiting for her?
Just as she was panicking, she saw the wolf's claws grab the orange that had fallen on the ground, then it bit the orange with its sharp fangs and swallowed it in one bite.
"Hmm? You like oranges?"
Yun Huaying's eyes moved, and when she was about to use her mind to get more oranges, the wolf moved again, passed directly under the tree, and ran towards the trap not far away.
Then, the wild game that had fainted on the ground were taken away one by one by it!
"So...it's the guy who picked the peaches!"
Yun Huaying had always believed that it was the villagers who picked up the game, and never thought that a wolf took away all her spoils. You can imagine how she felt at this moment.
There was quite a lot of wild game scattered around, and the gray wolf had a very sensitive sense of smell. It could find one accurately and always bring one back after every round.
Yun Huaying looked at the spoils piled under the tree trunk, feeling both amused and helpless. This was all she had worked so hard to get, and not only did the peaches get picked by the tree, but it also brought them to her and put them in front of her. What did this mean?
Showing off and bragging?
Or was he looking down on her, thinking that all her hard work was just for the good of it?
Sure enough, wolves are smart and cunning animals.
