Although red deer don't taste particularly good, they have a lot of meat. A single red deer can weigh over 400 pounds, which is much more than a roe deer or a wild rabbit.
Seeing that Brother Wei's group had already hunted down the roe deer and the hare, Yuan Tiezhu's neck was so high that you could only see his nostrils.
They roasted partridge at night, and no longer coveted the pickled vegetables; instead, they boasted about it to the rest of the hunting team.
Wang Erlaizi and Zhang Liuzhi were so angry they almost fainted. How could they let this villain get away with it!
Zhong Wanwan and Xia Ning were quite calm. Their group had played quite a few games, so there was nothing to be upset about.
Brother Wei also comforted Wang Erlaizi, saying:
"It's alright. Victory and defeat are common in war. Hunting also depends on luck. It just so happened that they were lucky!"
Wang Erlaizi said angrily:
"I just can't stand his smug attitude. He only killed two deer, and those things don't even taste good. What's there to be so proud of!"
Zhang Liuzhi also said:
"That's right, I saw the direction they came from today. Let's go hunt deer tomorrow, three of them, we have to shut them up!"
Wang Erlaizi deeply agreed:
"Yes, let's hunt deer tomorrow too, and hunt even more than they do!"
After saying that, the two put their arms around each other's shoulders and began to discuss exactly where Yuan Tiezhu and his men had fought. Judging from their posture, they weren't going to give up until they'd crushed the idiots by tomorrow!
When it was time to go to bed that night, Yuan Tiezhu started causing trouble again. It had been agreed that Xia Ning and Zhong Wanwan would have a room to themselves.
Because of the issue of whether or not one gains an advantage, Yuan Tiezhu brought it up again:
"How can more than a dozen people sleep in one room? Wouldn't they be crammed to death? Why should the two of them have to take up a room?"
Wang Erlaizi protected Zhong Wanwan and Xia Ning, saying:
"Yuan Tiezhu, what do you mean by that? Do you think two women would share a room with men instead of living alone?"
"Besides, the room is so big, how come it can't accommodate more than ten people?"
Yuan Tiezhu acted shamelessly, saying:
“I don’t care. Everyone hunts the same way. Every year it’s one house with three groups. Since there are still six groups this year, we’ll stick to the annual allocation of one house with three groups.”
This infuriated Wang Erlaizi, who went up to beat Yuan Tiezhu. Yuan Tiezhu was not to be outdone and wanted to fight back against Wang Erlaizi.
Brother Wei stopped the two of them, saying:
"Stop it, Yuan Tiezhu! Do you have to be fair? You insist on having three groups living in one room!"
At this point, Yuan Tiezhu had no intention of backing down. He stubbornly retorted:
"Yes, I just want fairness. We're all hunting the same way, so there should be one group and three groups."
Brother Wei, enraged, laughed instead. He stepped forward and asked everyone:
"Is there anyone willing to share a room with Master Zhong and Xia Zhiqing? I'm making it clear beforehand that none of us will sleep in the room tonight. We'll stay in the abandoned cave we bought when we built the house. Anyone interested?"
Before, when we came to build these two mud houses, we naturally couldn't go back to the farm at night, otherwise we would have to run back and forth all day. At that time, we lived in an abandoned cave not far from these two small mud houses.
However, the cave entrance is quite large, so it's definitely not as warm as a small earthen house.
