Gao Shujing and his group seemed to be having bad luck this time. They traveled to many places but didn't see any deer or sheep. Just as they were about to make do with wild boar, several unusually large prey appeared in front of them.
Gao Guojing couldn't help but shush: "They're bison! Any one of them weighs over a thousand pounds. If we bring one back, we won't have to worry about not having meat for the New Year."
Cattle are the main source of labor for farmers, and no one will eat beef unless it dies of old age or disease.
But bison meat is fine. Bison are very aggressive, and even if you bring them back to the brigade, they are very difficult to tame.
Gao Shujing pointed to the medium-sized bison and said, "Duofu, we'll hunt this one back this time. You lure the other bison away first before dealing with this one."
This is a cow that's only two or three years old. The meat is of good quality, and it weighs over a thousand pounds. He and Gao Guojing can lift it together.
Upon hearing this, Duofu's eyes blazed with fighting spirit. He grabbed his short sword and leaped onto the backs of several bison, successfully enraging them and causing them to attack him.
Duofu led the bison to several different places, and finally left the bison that Gao Shujing had chosen.
At first, everything was fine, but when killing the bison, Duofu was startled by the spurting blood and slowed down a bit, allowing the dying bison to unleash its final attack.
Just as Duofu was about to be hit, Gao Shujing, who had been keeping a close eye on the situation, rushed forward and kicked out with all his might. The wild bull's attack was interrupted, allowing Duofu to recover and fly away.
Gao Guojing then gave the bison another blow, and it became completely still.
Gao Shujing walked over to Duofu, whose face was pale, and asked, "Duofu, are you alright?"
Duofu then began to feel fear. It was the first time he had killed such a large prey, and he was not used to it. He felt very weak.
Looking up and seeing his two uncles with worried eyes, Duofu felt a surge of strength: "Uncle, I'm alright."
Gao Shujing: "It's normal to be a little scared since this is your first time doing something like this. But you still need to persevere. The blood that flows out after killing the prey is most likely to attract fierce prey. We must leave here as quickly as possible."
After comforting him for a few moments, Gao Shujing and Gao Guojing lifted the bison and headed back, with Duofu following behind. Not far away, various ferocious beasts, drawn by the scent, roared deafeningly.
In search of deer and sheep, they ventured deep into the Ten Thousand Mountains. They came without any burdens and avoided many ferocious prey.
When they returned, they carried over a thousand pounds of prey, making their movements less convenient than when they came. The three of them practically fled for their lives as they ran out of the Ten Thousand Mountains.
Fortunately, after chasing them for a while, and seeing that they were about to reach the outer edge of the Ten Thousand Mountains, the beasts stopped their pursuit on their own.
To avoid being seen, Gao Shujing had Duofu scout ahead while the others followed behind.
The three of them returned home safely from the back of the mountain.
A group of people circled around the bison, occasionally letting out exclamations of amazement. Doro looked at Dofu with such envy that it was almost tangible.
Duolu: "Brother, did you really kill this ox?"
After walking for a while, the discomfort from killing the bison had subsided.
On his first official attempt, he achieved such success. Even Duofu's usual icy expression couldn't be maintained, and he couldn't help but lift his chin.
However, he didn't take all the credit. Duofu said, "I was the main force, but my uncle and Uncle Guojing also helped."
If Gao Shujing hadn't intervened in time, he would have been in serious trouble.
Gao Guojing laughed heartily and patted his little head, saying, "If Duofu had been able to dodge that last attack in time, we wouldn't have been in any trouble."
"You've done a great job on your first attempt. Learn more in the future, and don't panic when things happen. You can do even better."
This is the difference between having proper training methods and not having them. When they were as old as Duofu, they had to stay in the family compound the only time they could leave, except when they were training with the soldiers in the military region or when they were with adults.
Even teenagers had to go up the mountain in groups, and if they encountered wild boars, they could only run for their lives.
Duofu was not even seven years old when he dared to go into the deep, uninhabited mountains to fight with wild buffalo. In a few more years, he will not have to worry about living alone in the deep mountains.
Duofu stood tall and said, "I will work even harder in the future. Thank you, Uncle Guojing."
Yu Rujia: "Duofu, you've made such a harvest on your first trip into the mountains. Your aunt is proud of you. Go and clean up the sword and return it to your aunt."
Upon hearing this, Duofu, who was feeling quite pleased with himself, lost some of his joy and asked reluctantly, "Auntie, can I keep this sword with me?"
Yu Rujia: "Your aunt believes you, but your younger brothers are naive. If they touch you, you'll get hurt."
Duofu has good self-control, but he can't carry sharp objects with him. If he leaves them at home, Duolu will definitely use them, regardless of the other kids.
Her short sword is of top-notch quality, forged with special materials and techniques; it's a truly excellent sword, capable of cutting through iron like mud.
Upon hearing this, Duofu's gaze lingered on his younger brothers for a moment, and sure enough, he saw Duolu looking at his short sword with longing.
Under these circumstances, Duofu could not ignore his family's health and leave the sword behind, so he had no choice but to reluctantly go to the hand pump well to clean the sword.
Duolu followed, the little guy staring at the sword with longing: "Big brother, can I touch this sword?"
Duofu: "You're still too young, don't touch it yet. That cow was killed by this sword. If you touch it, you might get hurt. Wait until you're older."
To prevent the boy from sneaking over while he was washing his sword, Duofu said, "Go over to your aunt's side first."
With only the sword in his eyes, Dorje shook his head and said, "I'll stay here and watch my brother wash."
This kid really wouldn't give up, so Duofu simply called out to Duoshou: "Duoshou, come here and take Duolu over."
Hearing the voice, Duoshou, who was watching the bison, turned his head and said with a smile, "Duolu, I recently made a new medicine. Would you like to try it?"
Upon hearing about the new medicine, Duolu's small body involuntarily shivered. This Duoshou was far more terrifying than his older brother.
At most, the eldest brother would scold them, beat them up, and reduce their food intake, but the longevity-enhancing medicines would cause all sorts of embarrassing situations.
Duolu was a proud little fellow and didn't want to embarrass himself, so he quickly left Duofu's side, afraid that if he was a second too late, Duoshou would seize the opportunity to make a move.
It took Gao Shujing and Gao Guojing half a day to clear out the bison.
Since it's wild game from the mountains, and its internal organs contain many impurities, their family doesn't eat the internal organs of wild animals.
They cleared out all the inedible parts, dug a pit on the mountain, and buried them. Several hundred pounds of the remaining meat and bones were collected.
