Chapter 517: The whole village joins the battle
At this time, all the people in Daliushu Village who were able to move joined the hunting operation.
After all, the prey is right at your doorstep, and you’d be a fool not to catch it!
Even children of a few years old are no exception.
If they can’t catch the big ones, can’t they catch the small ones?
Those little rabbits, wild ducks and so on are simply here to provide them with playmates!
"Dabai! Quick!"
The fourth child rarely stuttered, shouted loudly, and lunged forward.
The two little hands tightly grasped a half-grown pheasant.
“Gugugugu…”
The pheasant cried desperately and flapped its wings, trying hard to break free.
Dabai rushed forward and bit the pheasant's neck...
Mrs. Su looked out the window and saw the scene outside, and she couldn't help herself.
"Mom, I'm just going to go outside and pick up some leftovers. Don't worry, I'll definitely protect my stomach and avoid those wild goats."
After Mrs. Su finished speaking, she opened the door and ran out.
Mrs. Su Si had been eager to try it out for a long time, her blood boiling with excitement. Seeing this, she said something to Old Lady Su.
"Mom, I'm going to pick up some leaks too!"
After saying that, he rushed out without looking back.
Old Mrs. Su, “…”
Looking at the excited backs of the two daughters-in-law...
Well, she couldn't help it.
Old Mrs. Su picked up the broom beside her and ran out.
When Xiao Tangbao saw his mother and sisters-in-law running out to catch prey, he thought he should also try his skills.
So, he ran out with his short legs.
Xuanyuan Jin grabbed Xiao Tangbao's arm and coaxed him, "It's too dangerous outside. Although these animals won't hurt people, you're still too young. What if you get bumped or stepped on? Be obedient and don't go out, okay? Brother will stay here with you and watch..."
"Not good!" Little Tangbao shook his head desperately.
Then, she looked at Xuanyuan Jin with her big, sparkling eyes and said softly, "Brother, let's go catch some little white rabbits and raise them."
Xuanyuan Jin, "..."
Looking at the little girl's expectant eyes, I couldn't bring myself to say no.
"Brother, don't you want to catch the prey yourself?" Little Tangbao said excitedly, "This kind of opportunity is rare! If you miss this opportunity, you'll never get it again!"
Xuanyuan Jin, "..."
He had thought about it a long time ago!
If it weren't for keeping an eye on the little girl, he would have left long ago!
"Okay then." Xuanyuan Jin compromised and said, "Follow me, stay away from the bigger prey so you don't get hit, and stay away from the pheasants so they don't peck you, and stay away from those..."
Xuanyuan Jin kept nagging and giving instructions, but Xiao Tangbao just pulled Xuanyuan Jin and ran out.
"Brother, you're so nagging at such a young age. What will become of you when you grow up? A man like this will be laughed at for being nagging..."
Before Xiao Tangbao could finish his complaints, Xuanyuan Jin's face turned dark.
Who is he doing this for?
You have no conscience!
It’s because I’m worried about her!
If it were someone else, would he say one more word?
She is the only one in this world who can make him talk so much!
When Emperor Tianxi saw that his son and the girl had run away, he could not stay any longer.
However, given his status, it would be too cheap for him to join in such a chaotic and dusty scene and try to catch a pheasant with his bare hands.
But - I really want to!
In the past, when he went hunting in the paddock, he would ride his horse everywhere looking for prey, but even if he found it, he might not be able to shoot it.
Also, don't think he doesn't know that some of those prey were caught in advance and placed in the enclosure by the person in charge of the enclosure.
Or maybe they were raised in advance because they were afraid that the emperor would be disappointed if he couldn't catch any prey.
But now, look, there are prey everywhere outside...
Emperor Tianxi clenched his fists, his palms were so itchy!
——Want to catch!
It is better to share suffering with others than to suffer alone, and it is better to share happiness with others than to be happy alone.
Emperor Tianxi looked at Yu Zhilan.
"Master Yu, you boast of being well-read, but now it seems you're no better than a three-year-old." Emperor Tianxi said, "Even a child knows how to hunt and prey to supplement the family income."
"Now, you, a scholar with a wealth of knowledge, are just sitting here looking on in a daze. No wonder people often say that scholars are good for nothing..."
After listening to what Emperor Tianxi said, Yu Zhilan looked at the contemptuous expression on Emperor Tianxi's face.
And the unconcealable blazing light in Emperor Tianxi's eyes...
Yu Zhilan understood.
"As Mr. Huang taught me, I'm going out to catch pheasants right now!"
Yu Zhilan said this, rolling up her sleeves proudly.
Humph! Isn’t it just you, Your Majesty, who wants to go out and catch chickens?
Just say no!
You say I'm not as good as a three-year-old child, why don't you talk about yourself?
You haven't even gone out yourself, and you have the nerve to talk about others!
Yu Zhilan secretly complained in her heart.
"Master Huang, why don't you join me? Missing out on such a grand occasion would be a lifelong regret," Yu Zhilan invited sincerely. "Besides, pheasants you catch yourself will surely taste even better!"
Emperor Tianxi nodded without blushing at all.
"Zhuangyuan Yu is right!"
After saying that, he walked out with an excited look on his face.
The guards behind him could no longer contain their excitement and hurried to catch up upon seeing this.
Very good!
Finally I can show off my skills!
The feeling of being able to catch prey easily is so cool just thinking about it!
When Yu Zhilan saw that the emperor was so impatient that he forgot to behave himself and ran out, the corners of her mouth twitched.
Oh! He is such a good minister!
So considerate!
If it were someone else, they would either suffocate the emperor to death or give him a way out by inviting him to catch a pheasant with his bare hands.
In her heart, Yu Zhilan gave herself an award for outstanding minister.
After Emperor Tianxi came out, he went straight to a large, colorful pheasant.
This pheasant is so fat!
None of the pheasants specially raised in the enclosure are so fat and have such bright and shiny feathers!
Of course, Emperor Tianxi would rather catch a sika deer or something to appear more prestigious.
However, the group of deer that came at first were almost all caught.
The most common things outside now are pheasants flapping their wings and flying around.
By the way, although the pheasants were affected by half a day of drunkenness and looked crazy and stupid, they were not so easy to catch.
As soon as Emperor Tianxi's hand touched the pheasant, the pheasant lowered its head and pecked it hard on the back of Emperor Tianxi's hand.
Emperor Tianxi felt a pain on the back of his hand and instinctively let go.
The pheasant let out a shrill cry, flapped its wings desperately, stepped on Emperor Tianxi's head and flew onto the eaves.
Only a few fallen pheasant feathers were left for Emperor Tianxi...
Emperor Tianxi, "..."
Who am I? Where am I? A pheasant stepped on my head...
It was like thunder rolling in the sky, frying Emperor Tianxi to a crisp on the outside and tender on the inside.
The two guards who were supposed to protect the emperor were also dumbfounded!
Are they seeing things?
Just now, a pheasant stepped on the emperor's head and flew onto the roof...
The two guards felt a buzzing in their heads.
As soon as his hand loosened, the pheasant he had just caught screamed and flapped its wings and ran away.
It was over, it was over. They were only focused on catching pheasants, but they didn't expect that a pheasant would step on the emperor's noble head...
The two of them were so sad that they could not cry. They looked at each other and saw the same meaning in each other's eyes.
I'm afraid their heads may be in danger...
