Chapter 241 Together
Although they wanted to persuade her to give up this dangerous idea, when Yan Bei and the other two really faced someone who had made up her mind, they were more helpless than the other, and in the end they could only compromise helplessly.
Compared to their worries, Su Qingshan, who learned that Suning was going to go with them, did not have such thoughts.
After all, which team’s barefoot doctor wouldn’t go up the mountain to collect herbs?
At least it would be better for her to follow the group than to be alone, right? It would be much safer anyway.
Besides, they were not planning to go too deep this time and they were carrying homemade rifles. Unless they were extremely unlucky, wouldn't so many of them be able to protect a little girl?
However, to prevent others from having any ideas, Su Qingshan put the pipe in his hand into his belt, straightened his face and said in a deep voice.
"Ningning, we're going to collect herbs for serious business, not for fun. This is for the sake of our team members. Do you all have any objections?"
"What's your opinion on this? Captain, don't worry, we understand and will definitely take good care of Doctor Su!"
"Yes, yes, yes. Even with so many of us, we can't protect Dr. Su."
Everyone responded at once. Fortunately, most people were sensible enough to distinguish right from wrong, so they had no objection to her being such a hindrance.
Su Qingshan nodded, looked at the sky, waved his hand and said loudly, "Let's go!"
About forty or fifty people suddenly entered the mountain in a mighty force.
It is difficult to see any vegetation among the mountains covered with white snow. Only a few touches of green belonging to pine and cypress can be seen on the mountain peaks.
The snow was not compacted and was very fluffy. The deepest part was up to an adult's knee. If you were not careful, you would fall into it and end up pulling a radish.
The three people from Yan Bei formed a protective circle tacitly, guarding her in the middle, and matched her speed to fall to the back of the team.
Because they had just entered the mountains, there were many of them and the noise was loud.
It will take a while for big prey to be found, and small creatures will be scared away early when they hear the noise.
Therefore, the people who were in a hurry did not pay much attention to it. They walked at a constant speed while chatting with their good companions to dispel the visual fatigue after looking at the white snow for too long.
"Suning, can you really tell which ones are medicinal herbs from the dead branches sticking out of the snow?"
“…”
She really can't.
Except for a few special and very recognizable ones, what about the others? Without experience and theoretical knowledge, you will be at a loss when you try for the first time.
However, Suning had to follow along. His main purpose was not to collect as many medicinal herbs as possible, so he did not have much idea about whether he could accurately identify them and how much he could collect.
Obviously, she couldn't tell the truth in her heart, so she could only glance at him in a pretentious manner.
"I can't do it, so you can do it?"
"Haha, if you can't do it, then I certainly can't do it either. But it's not like we can't try. What if my eyesight is bad but my luck is super good?"
At this point, Fu Jiaming's eyes lit up, and he felt that what he said was possible, so he quickly asked, "What does the medicinal material you need look like?"
"Shh~"
Zhang Qi, who was walking at the front of the small group, suddenly turned around and gestured for silence, his eyes turning to the left.
The confused crowd followed his gaze and looked over there, only to see a few gray balls of fur on the snow.
Look carefully and you will see that it is not a ball of fur but a rabbit.
The strange thing was that the gray rabbits were not scared away by the noise. Instead, they lay at the doorstep like idiots and didn't even dig into the holes that had been dug.
Subconsciously touching his neck, a strange look flashed across Su Ning's eyes: I almost forgot about this.
However, in order to avoid the avalanche that was predicted in the picture, Zi Fei could not take it down. After all, she didn't know the exact location of that place.
Since we are here to hunt, then... it shouldn't be a big problem to have a few more prey... right?
The three grown men looked at each other and reached some kind of consensus. After communicating with simple gestures, they took quick action.
They occupied three directions and slowly surrounded several gray rabbits, then tightened the encirclement, while at the same time exerting force with their feet and diving forward suddenly.
None of the five rabbits escaped. All of them were caught and their legs were tied with vines.
"Hahahaha, good luck in getting started!"
"This fur feels really good. I can make a pair of rabbit fur gloves for Ningning."
It was the first time for them to participate in winter hunting so seriously. They got something soon after entering the mountain. Not only did Fu Jiaming dance with joy, but Yan Bei and Zhang Qi also looked extremely excited.
"Suning, how about that? I'm awesome, right? I caught two of them!"
He silently gave him a thumbs up and lived up to everyone's expectations by receiving a grin. Suning raised the corner of his mouth and shook his head with a smile, hiding his achievements and fame.
"This rabbit is nothing. I'm going to kill a big one this time!"
"I told you you're fat and you're out of breath. Don't get carried away and hand over these rabbits."
Fu Jiaming, who had just made a bold statement, didn't care. He took the rabbit they handed over and happily chased after the large group in front.
Su Qingshan and a few people who were most familiar with the situation in the mountains walked in front.
After glancing at the few people hanging far behind them, some people couldn't help but ask about the doubts in their hearts.
"Captain, how can we let the reformed person follow us into the mountains? What if he runs away?"
"You are so smart, but you are chattering like a woman. Can the captain not have his own considerations?"
"Hey, I just asked because I didn't understand. You know nothing!"
"Okay, stop making so much noise. I can see that everyone knows what you are thinking!"
Su Qingshan snorted lightly, and with his sharp old eyes he glanced at the two people who were pretending to argue, and then glanced at the people who were quietly listening.
"Yan Gong was only transferred here to receive labor education for the poor. Don't think he will stay here forever. He will be transferred back after the New Year!"
"Really? Well, that's what I told you, Mr. Yan is such a great man..."
"Don't be so hindsighted. It's easier to add icing on the cake than to help someone in need. You should be grateful that you didn't give me any help and didn't add insult to injury!"
In addition to the captain's overt and covert hints, everyone also saw and remembered the help that Mr. Yan had given to Team One before.
Not to mention helping everyone because they were afraid of getting into trouble, but like other teams, they didn't do anything to embarrass or bully others.
There is no need to worry about being in trouble after the situation changes.
Therefore, after learning about this, I had no other thoughts except sighing and feeling relieved.
"Uncle Su!"
"Oh, Jiaming, what's wrong?"
Hearing the loud shouting behind them, everyone who was about to say something shut up.
Su Qingshan turned around quickly upon hearing that, and when he saw Fu Jiaming walking up to him through the team with a bunch of tied up gray rabbits in his hands, his originally stern face suddenly tensed.
"This, you guys caught it?"
"Yeah, isn't it? Four big and one small, hehehe, Uncle Su, please remember it for us!"
"What a stinky boy! I can still keep all the money for myself!"
After cursing and laughing, Su Qingshan took out a small notebook and wrote down the things, then asked the person in charge of keeping the prey to take the rabbit.
"These rabbits are quite fat, it's a good start, not bad, Comrade Xiao Fu!"
"With so many of us, we haven't scared these little creatures away yet. This shows that Xiao Fu and his friends are really lucky. I'm afraid we'll have a great harvest this time!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"That's not good. If we can get more, we can have a prosperous New Year!"
"Okay, now that we've started, let's cheer up and don't let a few young guys take the lion's share. I can't afford to lose face!"
"Hahaha~ Okay, let's compete!"
The scene suddenly became lively with all the men ready to show off their best skills.
It would be really embarrassing to wait until we get down the mountain and distribute the prey, and then only get a participation prize!
The crowd, full of enthusiasm, quickened their pace, unconsciously kept silent, and began to look around carefully as they walked forward.
As if the saying "a good start" really came true, since Yan Bei and his friends caught these rabbits, many little creatures have been rushing to their doorstep one after another.
Although it's a bit weird, it's all meat. Who has the time to care about what's going on with all these pheasants, rabbits and roe deer!
It's over if you just grab the meat that's right in front of your mouth!
The crowd was so excited that they gradually deviated from their original direction without the people leading the way noticing.
When he suddenly came to his senses and was about to turn back, he inexplicably bumped into a wild boar's den!
