The roe deer fell to the ground with a thud. The eagle owl, which had been following along hoping to take advantage of the situation, was startled by the gunshot, fluttered up, let out two whimpers, and flew away.
"Stupid bird, if it weren't for the fact that you're so skinny, would you have gotten away?" Sheng Xiping muttered, putting down his gun.
Chen Weiguo burst into laughter upon hearing this, "Alright, don't stoop to the level of a feathered beast."
Without it leading the way, it would be quite a struggle for us to find the roe deer.
Sheng Xiping agreed, saying that it made sense. If the silly bird hadn't been chasing and chirping, they would have had to follow the footprints in the snow, which would have been troublesome.
"Let's go, let's drag the roe deer back."
In any case, the night's harvest was quite good: a roe deer and a civet.
If we add the two musk deer we caught yesterday, we'll not only have meat to eat this time, but we can also make a good amount of money.
The two approached and examined the large roe deer; it was already dead.
Chen Weiguo dragged the dead roe deer, while Sheng Xiping stood guard with his gun at the ready to prevent any further accidents. The two of them slowly walked up the hillside from the bottom of the valley.
Before they could even go up, Wang Jianshe and Gao Haining ran over with flashlights.
"So, did you find the roe deer?"
They heard the gunshot from the hillside, and they could even faintly hear Chen Weiguo's laughter.
Wang Jianshe guessed that they must have found the roe deer. Worried that the two might be in danger, he came over with Gao Haining to help.
"With that stupid bird leading the way, how could we not find it? Actually, even if we don't chase it tonight, that roe deer won't live much longer."
Sheng Xiping just didn't want their prey to be snatched away by that big bird; otherwise, they could have waited until dawn to chase after it.
