Chapter 127 The Dilemma Faced by Shanglin Village
Ning Bao remained seated and waved to the members of the field team.
"Come on! Come on! Come on! You all come here first."
Everyone gathered around when they heard Ning Bao's shout.
"Let me ask you, if you were that roe deer from earlier, would you have run away?"
Upon hearing Ning Bao's question, the senior team members immediately realized how foolish they had been.
Only the innocent Lin Jiayu stretched out her small hand and said...
"meeting."
“That’s right!” Ning Bao gently pinched Lin Jiayu’s cheek.
"If I were that roe deer, I would have run away too. Knowing that I would be caught and eaten, it would be strange if I didn't run away."
Everyone should remember that hunting also requires strategy; never rush in headfirst when you encounter prey again.
You need to quickly come up with a solution before taking action.
These little animals are not only delicious, but they are also very clever; they won't just stand there obediently waiting for us to catch them.
…………
After Ningbao's explanation, everyone clearly realized their mistake, and they became much more cautious when encountering prey in the future.
The field team not only went hunting today, but Ningbao also taught everyone to identify several kinds of herbs.
Ning Bao doesn't know much about herbs; her main focus is on metaphysics.
She got to know the herbs because she often went to her senior brother's courtyard. She liked to follow him when he went up the mountain to collect herbs, and that's how she got to know him.
Ningbao happened to find some herbs with decent prices by the river, so he led his team to dig them all up.
Two hours later, the field team returned with a full load. They had collected fifty or sixty wild chicken eggs, a dozen or so wild duck eggs, five wild rabbits, six wild chickens, and some herbs and wild vegetables.
Although it's not a lot, it's already quite good for these children who are only seven years old on average.
The field team's first day of operations can be considered a successful start.
On the way back, everyone was in a great mood, and no one fell behind again.
As soon as they returned to the cave, they saw that all the laborers who had gone up the mountain to hunt had also returned.
Their harvest wasn't as much as they had imagined, but at least they didn't come away empty-handed.
The villagers of Shanglin felt very regretful when they saw that each child in the field team was carrying prey.
If her child goes too, wouldn't that mean they get an extra pheasant or a rabbit?
However, there's no going back now, so even if they regret it, it's useless.
There's a saying that goes, "There are always oddballs every year, but this year there seem to be an unusually large number."
But there were those who refused to give up, who eagerly brought their children to Mu Dasheng's house and asked to join the wilderness team.
Ning Bao resolutely refused them all.
A rich aroma wafted from the cave at dinnertime, prompting many elderly people to remark:
"Wow! Heaven has opened its eyes!"
I thought this old man was going to die on the road during the famine, but I never expected to not only be alive and well but also be able to eat meat regularly.
The old man reached out and touched the flesh on his face:
Hmm! I think I've gained weight!
Just after everyone in Shanglin Village had finished dinner, dark clouds gathered in the sky, and soon large raindrops began to fall one after another.
Mu Dasheng sighed as he listened to the sound of the rain.
"If this rain had fallen on Shanglin Village a month ago, would we have been spared from having to flee the famine?"
Li Guizhi glanced at her husband.
"The rain is good rain, but unfortunately it won't listen to you."
