But as we walked, we noticed that from time to time, birds were startled from the distant mountains and forests, and they flew in large groups.
Seeing this, Boss Ye became alert immediately.
This is very unusual for birds in the forest. Something must have disturbed them.
But that side is in the direction of going down the mountain, and it is only more than a day's journey away from the village. Logically, there shouldn't be any large animals or groups of animals.
Boss Ye couldn't help but slow down his pace with some hesitation.
But then, faint shouts were heard in the wind.
Boss Ye listened for a long time, but couldn't hear clearly. However, he always felt like someone was calling him.
Could it be that I have been in the mountains for too long and my family members are worried, so they came into the mountains to look for me?
Thinking of this, Boss Ye immediately quickened his pace again and trotted towards the direction where the sound came from.
The closer he got, the more clearly Boss Ye heard it.
Voices from all directions were shouting: "Boss Ye——"
There were also two occasional calls in the middle: "Big Brother——"
Boss Ye put his hands to his lips and shouted loudly: "I'm here!"
Ye Lao Er, who was leading the others into the mountains while shouting, suddenly stopped and asked the people around him, "Lao San, did you hear any noise?"
"What's that sound?" Ye Laosan looked confused.
"Why do I seem to hear my eldest brother's voice?" Seeing this, Ye Lao Er suddenly became less sure.
"Could it be that you are hallucinating?" Ye Lao San wiped the sweat from his forehead.
But then Ye Laosan's hand froze in mid-air.
"Second brother, I think I heard it too!"
Ye Lao Er suddenly became excited and grabbed Ye Lao San's hand to confirm: "We both heard it, so it must not be an illusion!"
After he finished speaking, he turned around and shouted to the people around him, "Everyone, spread the word around. Stop shouting. I think I hear my eldest brother's voice.
The team looking for someone stretched out for a long time, and it took quite a while just for Ye Lao Er's words to reach the last person's ears.
The woods suddenly became quiet. Amid the chirping of insects and the singing of birds, everyone finally heard clearly the shouts coming from the mountain.
"I'm here!"
Ye Lao Er and Ye Lao San heard it clearly this time, and immediately ran up the mountain like crazy.
“Big Brother!”
"Brother, are you okay?"
Boss Ye above was also running down while shouting.
When the two sides finally met, the three of them didn't know what to say for a moment.
Ye Lao Er and Ye Lao San looked Ye Lao Da up and down. Seeing that apart from his dirty clothes and disheveled appearance, there were no obvious injuries on his body, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
But then, Ye Lao Er frowned and said, "Brother, what's wrong with you this time? You are too unreliable.
"You've been telling Mom about this for four or five days now, can you count how many days it's been?
“My mother and the rest of the family are almost dying of worry.
"Most of the people in the village and the carpentry workshop came up the mountain to look for you..."
Ye Lao Er had been worried and hadn't slept well these days. When he saw that Ye Lao Da was fine, he found it difficult to control his emotions while talking, and even his voice choked.
Seeing this, Ye Lao San quickly tried to smooth things over and said, "Big brother, look at you, you've even pissed off the second brother.
"Unless you kill another tiger this time, you'll have a hard time with your mother when you go back!"
Upon hearing this, Boss Ye said, "I didn't kill the tiger, but I did hunt a leopard."
"What?" Ye Lao San couldn't believe his ears. "Brother, are you kidding me?"
After all, in his opinion, leopards seem to be more difficult to catch than tigers.
Not to mention that Boss Ye is alone.
"Who's kidding you? If you don't believe me, just look for yourself." Boss Ye said as he put down the basket on his shoulder and motioned the second and third brothers to look into the basket.
Ye Lao Er and Ye Lao San came over to take a look.
Although I can't see the whole picture, the patterns on the fur are very clear under the sunlight. What else could it be but a leopard!
"Oh my god, it really is a leopard!"
Just at this moment, the people who were left behind by Ye Lao Er and Ye Lao San also climbed to this position.
When they heard what Ye Lao San said, they all gathered around.
"Oh my God, it really is a leopard!"
"Boss, did you hit this yourself?"
"How far into the mountains have you walked?"
Everyone immediately started asking questions.
Boss Ye also answered patiently: "How could I have such a skill? I caught it by digging a trap."
"In fact, we walked in for about three days and found that the whole area was the leopard's territory."
After hearing this, the villagers were all frightened.
A journey that takes a human three days is not far at all for a leopard.
There is a ferocious beast not far from the village. Once it runs out of food in winter, it is possible that it will come down the mountain to hunt in the village.
A few years ago, a child from a family in the village on the other side of the mountain was taken away by a wild beast.
Even if the one taken away was not a child but someone's animal, it would still be a big loss!
Thinking of this, everyone began to praise Boss Ye.
“Thank goodness you found the leopard and got rid of it, otherwise it might have caused trouble again in winter.
"That's right. There are still many ferocious beasts in our mountains. Didn't the boss hunt a tiger last year?"
Upon hearing this, Boss Ye waved his hands repeatedly: "Don't dare to say that. It was a group of us who hunted together. It wasn't just me who did the work."
