Chapter 108 Hunting, Wild Goats
The location of the medicinal field was farther than Su Heng had expected.
They had already entered the forest and walked for a while before arriving.
To Su Heng's surprise, her elder brother was quite reliable.
There was an open area in the forest, which was directly reclaimed and planted neatly with Gastrodia elata and Codonopsis pilosula seedlings.
The soil here is all humus, with layers of rotten leaves accumulated for who knows how many years, and it feels soft when you step on it.
The medicinal field was well maintained. There were dead branches and fallen leaves all around, and only the fertile black soil was exposed, with rows of small medicinal seedlings planted on it.
In order to prevent wild boars from accidentally entering, fences were built around the area, and Su Jing came to patrol every day.
Su Heng walked over to check and found that the seedlings were in good condition.
"Not bad, brother, you are very professional."
Su Jing smiled and said, "Don't worry about what the eldest brother does."
He doesn't look reliable at all. He is the kind of person who used to be able to organize group resale on the street.
Su Heng felt relieved for the time being. The land he reclaimed was quite large. It would be a waste if he didn't plant more in such a large forest.
"I'll get some more seeds next spring, and then we can start clearing the land and planting more."
Su Jing naturally agreed with a smile.
In fact, Su Dad and Su Ming had come to help with the tidying up of this piece of land, otherwise it would have been impossible for him to tidy up the medicinal field so quickly by himself.
Although the seedlings are very healthy, Su Heng is afraid that winter will soon come and the seedlings will not be able to withstand the cold.
So when I left, I used some supernatural powers on the medicine field while they were not paying attention.
I got home just in time for dinner, and the food Wenshu cooked was as delicious as ever.
Especially the plate of fried potatoes. When her daughter came back, she was more willing to use more oil.
The potatoes are fried until crispy and crispy, but when you bite into them, they are soft and sticky inside. They are added with some dried chili powder and Sichuan peppercorns, which makes them fragrant and goes well with rice.
After eating and drinking, Su Heng started thinking about hunting.
"Dad, where's your hunting rifle? We want to go hunting."
"It's in the house. I'll get it." Su Yue said as he went to get it. It could be seen that the gun was well maintained and there was not a speck of dust on it.
He was just about to say that he would take them there when he saw Lu Mingchuan naturally take his gun and put it on his back. Then his daughter didn't even look at him and took her son-in-law away.
The two annoying sons were the same. They didn't even bother to call him and just followed him happily.
He looked at Wen Shu with a hurt look on his face.
Wen Shu laughed: "They are just young people having fun together, why are you interfering?"
Su Yue: "I'm not willing to go yet. I'm staying at home with my wife, hehe."
"Nothing serious."
"So what? The annoying kids are not here anyway."
…
Su Heng and the others went into the mountains again, not in the same direction as the medicinal fields. That was a place Su Jing had specially chosen where there were fewer traces of wild animals.
When they go hunting, they naturally go to places where there are more prey.
There is no shortage of water now, many fruits on the trees are ripe, and the forest is bustling with activity.
As he was walking, Su Heng was hit on the head by something.
When I looked up, I saw a hazelnut tree, which was full of fruits.
The hazelnut seemed to be eager to be eaten, and it dropped down specifically to remind Su Heng.
Of course they couldn't miss it, so they filled their baskets with mountain products.
"Just put it here first. I'll remember the way and carry it back when I come back." Su Jing said.
"good."
The few of them continued forward. When they crossed a hill, the vegetation changed. The towering trees decreased, the view suddenly became clear, and grass began to emerge.
At this moment, Lu Mingchuan suddenly stopped.
Su Jing seemed to have discovered something as well. He squatted down and pointed at the small black particles of feces on the grass that looked like black beans and said, "It's a goat."
Su Heng became interested as soon as she heard it. Sheep are social animals, so there must be a group of wild goats here!
Lu Mingchuan nodded, indicating that Su Heng was right. Judging from the amount of feces, there must be more than one.
Following the traces of feces into the valley below, I actually saw a few white figures in the distance.
The grass here had dried up and died in the summer, and there was no sign of goats at that time.
But after the rain in August and September, green still stubbornly emerged here, which attracted a flock of sheep.
The goats were wary, so they didn't dare get too close.
The three siblings were staying in the viewing seats halfway up the hill, wondering if they were on an outing.
There are currently five sheep in this flock, scattered in the valley and eating grass leisurely.
The one in the middle that is obviously larger should be the leader sheep. It is looking around vigilantly.
When the gunshots sound, the sheep will surely run away in all directions.
But it doesn’t matter, it’s worth the trip if I can catch one.
Lu Mingchuan approached quietly. The sheep were standing in scattered positions, so he chose a position in the middle.
Perhaps there was a strange smell in the wind, the leader sheep's nose moved and he raised his head as if to issue a warning.
At this moment, "Bang——"
The bullet went out of the gun and hit the neck.
The remaining four sheep were immediately frightened and ran to the surrounding mountains in panic.
Lu Mingchuan quickly loaded his rifle and fired the second shot, and the goat on the right fell down.
But he immediately fired a third shot.
The silly goat, which was about to run out of range, was startled by the second gunshot and looked back. This was the shot that cost it its life.
The three siblings on the hillside showed the same shocked expression.
This... is this still a human being?
"Lu Mingchuan, you are so awesome!" Su Heng ran down, looking at the three sheep on the ground with stars in her eyes.
Lu Mingchuan also smiled. What could be more fulfilling than being praised by his wife?
Su Jing also gave a thumbs up. His brother-in-law always refreshed his cognition.
Su Ming also praised Su Heng: "Yes, brother-in-law, you are so awesome. Every time you come, we can always catch a big game. I really want to learn hunting from you."
Forget it, he is the only scholar left in their Su family.
Su Heng patted his thin shoulders and said, "First, see if you can carry this prey."
"Sister, you underestimate me."
I really underestimated him. Even though he was as thin as a bamboo pole, he still had a lot of strength.
The three men each carried a sheep, and Su Heng was responsible for carrying the basket of hazelnuts and the gun back.
When Su Yue saw them after returning home, his eyes widened in disbelief, and Wen Shu was also very surprised.
Su Yue is really doubting himself now. Who is the hunter?
Why did his son-in-law only come twice? He is better than him in half a year, and he brings a lot of stuff with him every time he comes out.
He must go with him to see it next time!
"Dad, look how powerful my brother-in-law is. Don't just stand there, come and slaughter the sheep." Su Ming was a little too proud of himself.
Su Yue took the sheep he was carrying and patted him on the head.
"I'm ordering your father around."
Su Jing looked at Su Ming as if he was a fool.
Wen Shu had already gone into the house to get the tools. The sheep had a strong smell of blood, so he had to pack it up and take it back.
The injury was to the neck, which was a good opportunity to drain the blood. Meat tastes better only after the blood is drained.
