General Li said nonchalantly, "Why think so much? As long as he can help you, there's no problem."
"Mm," Li Sikai replied.
When Qiu Man arrived, he noticed that Li Sikai's complexion had improved considerably and exclaimed, "Heaven has eyes!"
Then he asked General Li, "Should we ask Xiao Shen to get some more for Xiao Kai?"
Before General Li could speak, Li Sikai quickly stopped him: "Uncle Qiu, look how much Yanming gave us, ten bottles! I could drink them all next year and still not finish them."
"How about we share it with everyone?" Li Sikai asked.
Li Zongmengguan and Qiu Man both shook their heads: "If you can't finish it, just leave it. We can't let others waste it. This stuff has a long shelf life, so you can keep it to slowly recuperate."
"How about I store it in your space?" Qiu Man suggested.
"No, that's better. There are so many people coming and going; if anyone drinks, we'd be too embarrassed to say anything. Just leave it in my office; none of them will dare to act recklessly here," said General Li, the powerful alliance leader.
"Alright, but you and Uncle Qiu should drink as much as you like, no need to be shy. We're all family, we need to take care of our health. If you really finish, you can always ask Shen Yanming for more." Li Sikai joked cheerfully.
"Alright, I'll talk to Xiao Shen another day and tell him to save anything good for you if he finds anything good," Qiu Man said with a smile.
General Lee nodded, clearly in agreement.
Seeing that they were all in agreement, Li Sikai didn't object. He just sighed inwardly, "Old Shen, you must hold on!"
----------
After a period of silence, good news suddenly spread throughout Haishi.
"Have you heard? A group of small animals have suddenly appeared in Yunling Mountain. They're chubby and silly, and they're really easy to catch."
"I know, I know. I caught two rabbits the other day. You wouldn't believe how smooth their fur is, almost like a mink's. The meat isn't gamey at all. Just a little bit of scallion, ginger, garlic, and salt makes it incredibly delicious. It's so tender and smooth, it's truly unforgettable."
"Are you kidding me? There's no such thing as meat that delicious."
"Hey, do I need to brag to you? Just catch one and try it, then you'll know."
"He's right, the little animals over there are really delicious. I caught a chicken, stewed it with mushrooms, and the aroma was so strong it could be smelled from afar. My neighbors almost knocked the door down with their knocks."
"Then why don't you go hunting? Aren't you afraid people will try to steal your information?"
"Hehe, do you think we're stupid? The reason we dare to say this is because we've already hunted most of them. And those small animals have become shrewd when they realize we're catching them. Catching them now is completely different from before; the difficulty level is now five stars."
"Okay, okay, all that talk won't get us any food anyway, right?"
"Maybe we'll get lucky and catch it. Who knows?"
"Hey buddy, how about we give it a try together?"
"Hmm... okay, we're just killing time anyway. Once we get something, we'll split it in half."
"Okay. Go back and pack your things, let's go now. Don't be late and get caught."
"Hey, wait a minute, let's go together."
"Then hurry up!"
The group left the base in a grand procession and headed towards Yunling Mountain, wading through the bushes.
At first, no one spotted any prey. But as they moved forward, some people discovered tracks of rabbits and chickens.
"Oh no, there it is! Quick, after it!"
"Oh my god, it flew away! Holy crap, its claws are so sharp, they almost scratched me to death!"
"Break that chicken's wing and it won't flap anymore. Quick, be careful!"
"Haha, I caught a rabbit! Wow, it's so fat, it looks delicious."
The Cloud Spirit Mountain was bustling with activity. Exhausted, the group leaned together, panting heavily.
"Why do you think so many small animals have suddenly appeared on Yunling Mountain?"
"I don't know, could it be that Yunling Mountain is possessed by a spirit?"
"I think there might be a farm nearby. These chickens and rabbits seem more like they escaped from that farm."
“You have a point, but who would raise livestock in this remote mountain forest? And after the tsunami, where are ordinary people going to find these seedlings?”
"But it can't just appear out of thin air; it has to have some origin."
"Who knows? It can't be some wild animal that ran away from somewhere. Look at this chicken, it's a domestic chicken, not wild at all."
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore, it's pointless. We should be content with having something to eat."
"Yes, yes, yes, I'm so happy today, hee hee!"
"Let's not talk about that anymore, shall we try it now?"
"Let's not eat it then, let's eat it when we get home. We haven't had meat at home for months, it'll be good to give them something to eat."
So on this day, the air around the Haishi base was filled with fragrance, as if confirming certain rumors.
Upon hearing this, the base also sent a team to Yunling Mountain to hunt. Professionals are indeed different; after two days, they brought back more than twenty chickens, about thirty rabbits, seven or eight ducks, and two pairs of quails.
Ye Wengui had originally planned to come back and kill them for meat, but he noticed that these small animals were still alive. He reported this to the Wenmeng official and said that he wanted to keep these small animals in captivity so that they could reproduce.
After thinking for a moment, Wen Mengguan agreed. The guards wailed in despair upon hearing the news. They were unhappy about missing out on a chance to eat meat.
Ye Wengui knew he had let everyone down, so he promised, "Once these animals you caught have offspring, I'll return the old ones to you. And how about we give you two eggs for each game you catch in the agricultural area as compensation?"
What could the guards do? Could they say no? Obviously not. It was an order; they had no choice but to obey.
Fortunately, the meat is still theirs; they'll just have to eat it later. Consider it delayed gratification.
Seeing that the matter was resolved, Ye Wengui smiled happily. He even said to everyone, "Why don't you go to Yunling Mountain again and give it a try? Don't worry, I definitely won't ask you for the game I bring back this time."
Everyone grimaced, thinking that they couldn't possibly kill all the animals on Cloud Spirit Mountain. But they were still tempted after all.
They strolled around Yunling Mountain, and finding few animals, they stopped hunting and instead wandered around the surrounding forests.
As a result, they accidentally ended up on the mountain where Shen Yanming had sown seeds in the snow. Because it was quite far away, there weren't many people there. The group of people were stunned to see the various grains and vegetables growing so vigorously.
"Mom, is this a miracle from God?"
"My God, it grows even better than the grain in our agricultural area! This is amazing!"
"Quickly, quick, stop standing there, hurry back to base and report this." These aren't just a few small animals; they can't be dealt with carelessly.
At the Haishi base, Ye Wengui was strolling in the fields when a guard ran over with a worried expression.
He raised an eyebrow, not taking it seriously. But then the person ran up to him, grabbed him, and whispered something in his ear.
