Yunduo squatted on the ground, covered herself with her basket, and stared at the two pheasants foraging for food not far away with shining eyes.
Two!
Even if you give one to the village chief as a gift to thank them for their help, you'll still end up with a whole one for yourself!
Just thinking about it, the clouds seemed to smell the aroma of stewed chicken...
Hmm, we still need to think about how to catch these two pheasants (to avoid censorship).
"I should have brought a rope," Yun Duo thought to herself, 'secretly' to Xiao Jiu.
"Why bring a rope?" Xiao Jiu asked, somewhat puzzled.
Yun Duo said, "I once learned a text about how they used traps to catch birds. I think it can be used to catch pheasants too. We have the baskets, but we need a rope. How about we go find some mountain vine? I remember seeing some mountain vine on the way here."
As he spoke, he moved the basket backward, supporting it by the edge.
"Master, you don't need to look for the mountain vines. It's just catching pheasants. You don't need to make traps. Xiao Jiu can handle it," Xiao Jiu said in Yun Duo's mind.
"How do we catch it?" Yun Duo asked.
Xiao Jiu kept everyone in suspense, saying, "Master will find out soon enough."
Yun Duo wasn't annoyed; she just said in a teasing tone, "Oh, our Xiao Jiu can keep things a secret now?"
Xiao Jiu chuckled.
A short while later, a buzzing sound rang out. Before Yunduo could react, she saw two swarms of wasps 'pounce' on the pheasant.
"Ah! Wait!" Yun Duo exclaimed anxiously, not even bothering to say it to Xiao Jiu in her mind.
"What's wrong, Master?" Xiao Jiu asked in confusion. At the same time, two swarms of wasps enveloped the two pheasants. The two pheasants were frightened and flapped their wings, trying to fly away while making noise, but they also ran around like headless flies.
"So many wasps have stung us. Is the chicken still edible?" Yun Duo looked at the two clumps of 'wasp chickens' with a chill down her spine and asked with some concern.
"Oh, oh, oh." Xiao Jiu suddenly realized and quickly said, "Okay, okay, Xiao Jiu understands. Don't worry, it will only stun them, it won't sting all the wasps at once."
Yun Duo nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, sting their heads. One or two stings will knock them unconscious." Actually, Yun Duo wasn't sure if it was right, but she felt that stinging their heads would be better. If all else failed, she could just not eat their heads.
Xiao Jiu quickly replied, "Xiao Jiu understands~ Don't worry, Master!" As she spoke, the two pheasants that had been frantically flapping around in the bees stopped moving.
"Alright, Master, let's go pick it up~" Xiao Jiu said cheerfully in Yun Duo's ear, directing the wasps to fly away as she spoke. It was telepathically connected to Yun Duo and naturally knew that what had just happened had made Yun Duo somewhat uncomfortable.
Once the wasps had all flown away, Yunduo lifted her basket and quickly ran over to pick up the two pheasants. Touching the still-warm pheasant feet, Yunduo was overjoyed and exclaimed, "Xiao Jiu is so amazing! I was worried about how to catch these pheasants, but it was so easy. It's so great to have you!"
"Mmm... With Xiao Jiu, there's meat to eat." Xiao Jiu responded hurriedly, and then added, "By the way, Master, there's a chicken coop over there. I checked it this morning, and there are several wild eggs inside." As he spoke, Xiao Jiu flew towards a clump of thatch.
"Xiao Jiu, wait a minute." Yun Duo tore off some straw, tied the wings of the two pheasants together, threw them into her basket, and then dragged the basket towards the direction Xiao Jiu had flown.
