Chapter 143: Really Killing People
"I know, now we have a house, land, and a shop, and we can also hunt and collect herbs to make money.
I haven’t had enough of such a good life, and I don’t want to be targeted by someone with ulterior motives.
Don't worry, I won't take out those precious medicinal herbs anymore." Li Wanqing also knew that she had been a bit high-profile these days, so she had to be more careful in the future.
She is not a savior. What does it have to do with her if someone else is sick? It is not her fault.
Li Wanqing secretly decided in her heart that even if Manager Liu came to ask for medicine in the future, she would not give it to him.
After dinner, Gu Yan put out the fire and the two of them went back to the space to sleep.
The next day, at dawn, the two got up again, had a simple breakfast, and set off for the valley.
The valley is not far from here, just over a hill.
The temperature in the valley is higher than outside. The leaves and grass outside have withered, but the valley is still green.
So there are a lot of small animals coming here to eat grass and drink water.
The two men arrived in the valley around noon.
"Do you think there is a hot spring here? Otherwise, the grass outside is withered, why is the grass here still so green?" Li Wanqing walked around the valley.
"I don't know. Maybe it's because the valley is sheltered from the wind, so it's warmer than outside." Gu Yan was busy digging a trap and answered casually.
"Wow, there are chicken mushrooms here, such a big bunch." Li Wanqing was surprised and hurried over to pick them.
"There are some here too. Oh, there are some here too." Li Wanqing stopped talking and concentrated on picking mushrooms.
The mushrooms here are big and thick. Li Wanqing picked up a whole basket just from this one piece.
There are not only mushrooms, but also a lot of wild vegetables here. Li Wanqing was pregnant this year, so she didn't go into the mountains at all and didn't dig any wild vegetables.
The wild vegetables here are especially fresh and tender because they are next to the river. Li Wanqing not only picked mushrooms but also dug up any wild vegetables she saw.
The two of them are busy with their own things, but they are quite harmonious.
By four o'clock in the afternoon, Gu Yan had dug four traps, two of which were filled with bamboo thorns, and two were dug a little deeper but had nothing inside.
Gu Yan planned to catch a few more calves and lambs, for fear that the calves and lambs would get hurt.
Li Wanqing had a very good harvest this afternoon. She picked two large baskets of mushrooms, which were super large baskets.
A lot of wild vegetables were also dug up, including a big basket of shepherd's purse, a basket of gray grass, a big basket of wild amaranth, and a basket of prickly ash.
"Hey, wife, why did you dig so many wild vegetables?" Gu Yan exclaimed when he saw Li Wanqing sitting there picking wild vegetables.
"That's just the beginning. I also picked two big baskets of mushrooms. And a basket of chicken mushrooms. The chicken mushroom oil is delicious." Li Wanqing's eyes were full of pride.
"My wife is really capable. I must have burned incense in my previous life to be able to marry you in this life.
Wife, take a rest. I'll pick the wild vegetables." Gu Yan lived up to Li Wanqing's expectations and praised her without hesitation.
"Virtue." Li Wanqing cursed coquettishly, but her mood was obviously good.
Gu Yan also sat down and picked wild vegetables with Li Wanqing.
This wild vegetable is delicious and it is a pleasure to dig it, but it is not easy to pick.
Everything else is fine, especially shepherd's purse, you have to pick off all the weeds and dead leaves at the roots.
After picking for a while, they heard footsteps in the distance, and Li Wanqing quickly put all the wild vegetables into the space.
Gu Yan also took his hunting bow and arrow and stood up with a nervous look on his face.
"Wife, just stand behind me while I try to drive the cattle to the trap.
If a bull comes charging towards me, take me into the space." Gu Yan whispered.
The bison is different from the deer yesterday. The sika deer is more docile. When frightened, it will only run away and will not attack people.
Bison are different. If you provoke them, their horns can kill even a tiger.
"I understand. Don't worry." Li Wanqing followed Gu Yan closely.
The cattle now also noticed Gu Yan and the other two, but they ignored them and went to the river to drink water as usual.
Gu Yan first shot two arrows and killed a half-grown bison.
Then, taking advantage of the panic of the cattle, he took a large tree fork and drove them from behind, shouting "Ao Ao".
Seeing that several cows fell into the trap, some bison turned around and ran towards Gu Yan and the others.
"Wife, come quickly." Without waiting for Gu Yan to finish speaking, Li Wanqing quickly brought Gu Yan into the space.
"I was scared to death. Fortunately, my wife, you reacted quickly. If I had been hit by this, I would have been half dead." Gu Yan sat down on the ground in fear.
Li Wanqing's palms were sweaty, and she said with lingering fear, "Why don't we not hunt bison? Bison are too dangerous.
There is no danger to wild sheep, and the same applies to us hunting them."
"No, this is much better than my previous hunting.
I'll be careful, it won't be a big problem." Gu Yan took a breath and stood up again.
"Wife, look, have all the cattle run away?" Gu Yan couldn't see outside because he was in the space.
If you want to know what's going on outside, you can only ask Li Wanqing.
"Some have left, and some are still drinking water by the river. Do you want to go out now?" Li Wanqing looked at them intently.
"Go out. The cows in the trap must be put into the space as soon as possible, otherwise they might attract wolves or something if left there for too long." Gu Yan said.
"Okay." Li Wanqing said and brought Gu Yan out again.
There were indeed some buffaloes drinking water by the river, some distance away from them, but Gu Yan ignored them.
He took Li Wanqing to the first trap, which was full of bamboo thorns.
There are now two bison lying there, and the soil beneath them has been stained red with blood.
Gu Yan didn't hesitate. He took out a homemade wooden ladder from the space and climbed down first.
Then he took out his machete and chopped the cow's neck, causing blood to gush out. He did the same to the other cow.
Gu Yan waited for a while, until the blood stopped flowing out, then he looked up and said, "Wife, come down. I'll hold the ladder."
If possible, Gu Yan didn't want to let Li Wanqing come down, but there was no way. Li Wanqing had to touch the object before she could put it into the space.
The bison was too heavy for him to lift, so he had no choice but to let Li Wanqing get down.
Li Wanqing went down to put it away, then came up again on the ladder.
Then we came to the second trap. This trap was deeper and had no bamboo thorns inside. Moreover, the opening was smaller than the previous one with bamboo thorns. This was to prevent the big cow from falling in and becoming difficult to deal with.
Now in the trap there was a half-grown wild bull and a calf, both alive and calling out "Hum-Hum."
Gu Yan took out the hammer he had prepared long ago and smashed it on the bull's head.
He knocked both cows unconscious before climbing down the ladder and tying up the cows' limbs with ropes before letting Li Wanqing go down.
