Drinking warm water, listening to the wind in the mountains, chatting and eating—that sounds pretty good.
After lunch, the two found a flat spot to rest for about half an hour.
After the two took turns using the restroom, they started walking forward for a while.
After observing for a while, Han Qiushi selected a place to demonstrate teaching to Lin Xiaoxiao.
Lin Xiaoxiao copied it and made one. Han Qiu watched from the side and thought Lin Xiaoxiao's learning was amazing.
That's too fast; she's very perceptive in this regard.
However, Han Qiushi was worried that Lin Xiaoxiao would get tired, as they would have to walk for more than an hour to get back up the mountain. He said that he could handle the traps later and that Lin Xiaoxiao could rest on the side.
Han Qiushi acquired a total of four traps: three small traps and one large trap.
Suddenly, Han Qiushi, who had been walking at the front, stopped. Lin Xiaoxiao also heard some noise.
Lin Xiaoxiao stopped and followed Han Qiushi's gaze, discovering an animal standing by the river with horns on its head, about the size of a sheep, but seemingly somewhat dazed.
"Is this a roe deer?" Lin Xiaoxiao asked softly.
Han Qiushi nodded and whispered, "Don't move, I'll go catch it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Han Qiushi cautiously approached from the side.
The silly roe deer seemed to be looking for something, lingering on the side as if hesitating about something.
This was the first time Lin Xiaoxiao had witnessed Han Qiushi take action.
He moved quickly with a bent back and agile steps, but without making a sound.
As he approached the robe, he leaped up, grabbed its head tightly, and gently turned it around.
Then a "crack" was heard, and before the robe could react, he had already collapsed to the ground.
In just a few breaths, the robe was swiftly subdued.
It seems Han Qiushi is quite skilled. I wonder who would win if they fought.
The two obtained the robe, found a place to put the snow, and placed the robe in a secluded corner at the foot of the mountain.
Come pick it up when it gets dark, that way you don't have to hand it over.
Over the next two days, Lin Xiaoxiao continued to cut pig feed and prepare roe deer meat as the villagers did, while Han Qiushi became busier, helping to clean the yard and then going up the mountain to set up two more traps.
Every time they came back, they carried a large bundle of firewood on their backs, and in their hands were either pheasants or rabbits.
The quantity wasn't large, but it would make dealing with these things much easier in the future. Lin Xiaoxiao thought this trap was really useful.
Two days later, Han Qiushi did not go up the mountain, but went to the county town. When he came back, he brought fruit for Lin Xiaoxiao.
Lin Xiaoxiao, holding the apple in her hand, asked him, "You went out? I thought you went out early this morning and went up the mountain again."
Han Qiushi suddenly took the apple back.
Lin Xiaoxiao "......"
Ling Wei only realized what was happening when she saw Han Qiushi holding an apple, filling it with water, and washing it.
While washing his hands, Han Qiushi replied, "I went to the county town today to buy a train ticket. It's for tomorrow's train. It's time to go back and report."
Lin Xiaoxiao took a bite of the apple that Han Qiushi had washed and asked, "Oh, what time is your train ticket?"
"Tickets for around 10 a.m. tomorrow." Han Qiushi said this while keeping his eyes fixed on Lin Xiaoxiao's face.
Seeing that Lin Xiaoxiao's expression was indifferent and showed no reluctance, I felt empty inside.
"If everything goes smoothly, it will take about half a month to get here. If not, it will take a month or even longer."
"However, I will definitely come," Han Qiushi said to Lin Xiaoxiao, and also to himself.
Because when I go back this time, I don't know what kind of task the organization will assign me.
I applied for this action a long time ago, but I don't know if it will be approved by the higher-ups. Everything is uncertain.
Seeing that Lin Xiaoxiao remained silent, Han Qiushi then took out a lot of money and bills from his pocket.
Seeing that Han Qiushi insisted on giving it to her, Lin Xiaoxiao had no choice but to accept it. She counted it and found it to be a full 500 yuan, a small fortune indeed. There were also various coupons, such as grain coupons, meat coupons, and sugar coupons...
"Why are you giving me so much money?" Lin Xiaoxiao asked, looking at the pile of things in her hands.
After finishing an apple, Han Qiushi began tidying up firewood in the backyard. "This money should have been given to you from the beginning, but I didn't bring much with me when I came out on the mission, so I can only give it to you now."
“Everything we eat and use at home costs money. If you like rice, then we can cook rice every day. You can also buy a couple of clothes that you like.”
"High expenses are fine, just tell me if you run out of money."
"I'll have someone send it over."
Lin Xiaoxiao shook her head upon hearing this: "We don't need that. We have plenty of these things at home."
"As for you, what do you want to take back with you?" Lin Xiaoxiao looked at the pheasants and rabbits in the house, which numbered quite a lot, mostly brought by Han Qiushi. She wondered if Han Qiushi should take some with him.
The team wouldn't let them go hungry, but they rarely ate meat or similar foods.
Men should eat some meat occasionally when they're working.
Lin Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and asked, "Do you want to take some rabbit meat with you? Hmm... you can make it into jerky and take it with you so you can eat it slowly."
Han Qiushi naturally agreed. This was something Lin Xiaoxiao made herself, so of course he would love to eat it. Not to mention, Lin Xiaoxiao was very good at making these things.
After making the decision, the two finished eating the apples and, without resting, immediately began processing the pheasant and rabbit meat.
The two divided the work: Han Qiushi was responsible for cleaning the pheasants and rabbits, while Lin Xiaoxiao was responsible for boiling water and then preparing the meat piece by piece.
