The entrance of Dashi Village.
Wang Miaomiao stood beside the car, watching Old Man Wang and Wang Yong get in, and said hesitantly, "Dad, why don't I go to town with you this time?"
Wang Yong sat in the car with the prey he had prepared yesterday, turned around and said with a smile, "Erya, it's okay for the village chief and I to go to town this time. If you still want to take the villagers hunting, don't go."
"Yeah, Miaomiao, don't worry about your dad, just take care of your own business." Old Man Wang also helped to carry some prey, and then began to persuade.
After hearing this, Wang Miaomiao felt a little uneasy, but after hesitating for a moment, she did not insist on going. She had to take the young men in the village to hunt in the mountains in the afternoon and really could not get away.
"Then Dad, you and Brother Dayong should be careful, and your safety is the most important thing." She warned.
Wang Yong smiled and said, "Don't worry, Erya. I will protect the village chief if anything happens."
His muscular figure made his words very convincing. Wang Miaomiao felt relieved after hearing his words and took a step back to make way.
"Let's go!"
Wang Shan, who was driving, shouted, and the ox cart began to sway slowly on the mountain road, gradually disappearing from Wang Miaomiao's sight.
At this time, the sun gradually rose from the east in the morning light, and occasional bird calls could be heard in the distance.
Seeing that it was getting late, Wang Miaomiao raised her eyes, took a deep breath, and then quickly walked back home.
CRACK——
Pushing the door open, she went into the room, took down the bow and arrow from the wall, put it on her back, and then hurried out, walking towards the foot of the mountain.
At the foot of the mountain, in the opposite direction of the village entrance, is the agreed gathering point for the hunting team from Dashi Village who go up the mountain. When Wang Miaomiao arrived there, most people had already arrived.
"Team leader, everyone is here." Wang Zhuang saw her coming and stepped forward to speak.
Wang Miaomiao nodded her chin when she heard this, and looked at the dozen or so people who had gathered together. They were all equipped with bows and arrows, and carried dry food and water bags. They looked like a proper team, and she couldn't help but feel a little relieved.
Before, when Old Man Wang led his men up the mountain for the first time, many people in the team went up the mountain empty-handed, relying solely on their courage and determination not to starve to death.
After Wang Miaomiao sold the wild boar she hunted, she suggested that Old Man Wang order a batch of bows and arrows to equip the team members first. Regardless of how many hits they made, at least they would have some self-protection power if they encountered wild beasts.
It takes some time to customize the bow and arrow, so the second hunting trip up the mountain was postponed to yesterday.
Perhaps because they had a good harvest from hunting yesterday, everyone looked more confident.
She glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice, "Let's go up the mountain now that everyone is here. Once you enter the mountain, remember to walk in pairs and be vigilant."
"good!"
Everyone was used to Wang Miaomiao's command. They nodded and simply formed a formation, then followed her up the mountain.
The mountain road is long.
Nearing noon, everyone was exhausted and walked into the deep mountains where the treetops covered the sun. Wang Miaomiao led the way a little deeper today than yesterday. The grass grew wildly and there were not many trails trampled by animals.
But she knew that the more such places there were, the greater the rewards would be.
Looking at the road not far away, which was obviously marked with traces of large wild animals, Wang Miaomiao waved back to signal everyone to stop.
"There must be something ahead. Slow down and be alert." She used her internal energy to transmit the message.
The voice was lingering and everyone could hear it clearly. They were fully alert to their surroundings but did not notice anything wrong. They slowed down their pace as she said.
Wang Miaomiao knew that the safety of the group depended on her, so she used her inner strength to concentrate on listening to the movements in the distance, and her steps were also very slow.
She listened to the noise in the distance and had a feeling that she was about to bump into something.
“Aho-ho—”
At this moment, a roar from a distance faintly reached everyone's ears.
Wang Miaomiao could hear the sound clearly through her inner strength. She stopped immediately, looked around, and said, "Stop! Now, split up into two groups, eight teams. Four teams will be on the trees, and four teams will be under the trees. Spread out and hide."
"Hmm? Okay!"
After all, they were just farmers in the village. When they heard the sound, they were already worried and slow to react. They hurriedly dispersed and found places to hide nearby.
"I'll go to the front and lure this thing over here. Don't be afraid, everyone. Just listen to my orders later. Do you hear me?" Wang Miaomiao pursed her lips when she saw this, and spoke to calm everyone down and told them clearly what they were going to do next.
"Okay, we got it."
Everyone trusted her as the team leader. When they heard this calm arrangement, they nodded, secretly tightened their bows and arrows, and managed to calm down their panicked expressions.
After Wang Miaomiao finished speaking, she didn't delay any longer and walked quickly towards the direction where the sound came from.
After leaving everyone's sight, she stopped walking and used her light skills to tap her toes, leaping through the forest as if stepping on the grass without leaving a trace.
“Aho-ho—”
A yellow-brown figure with black stripes shuttled through the woods, chasing a sika deer that was fleeing in a hurry not far away. Hearing the call, the sika deer ran even faster.
But in the end, he was caught up by the huge monster behind him and fell to the ground, letting out a scream and dying.
Wang Miaomiao, who was chasing after the deer, stood on the branch with her toes lightly. Seeing that the tiger was about to lower its head and open its mouth to pick up the deer's body, she raised her hand and pulled out an arrow from behind.
He strung the bow, drew it, and aimed at the tiger's belly.
"call out!"
The arrow flew through the branches and leaves with a sound of breaking through the air, and hit the defenseless overlord of the forest. The tiger screamed the next moment.
“Ouch—”
The birds in the forest were startled by the cry, and flew away from the trees and scattered.
