Chapter 180
The wind was freezing cold, and the dense reeds were swaying in the cold wind, and the calls of unknown animals could be heard from time to time.
Suddenly, there was a commotion in the reeds close to the river bank, and many gray-shelled ducks and flying birds fled out in panic and flew in all directions.
Immediately afterwards, a silver-white snow wolf the size of a husky ran out from behind, exerted force on its hind legs, pounced on one of the gray-shed ducks, and nimbly pressed the duck under its body.
"Xiao Yu Sui, your hunting skills have improved again." A Shan pushed aside the reeds on both sides, walked out with a smile, lifted up the gray-winged duck that Yu Sui had pressed down with his claws, skillfully cut off the flight feathers on both sides of its wings, and tied it with the rope in his hand.
Looking closely, I saw that the rope in his hand was already tied with a bunch of ducks, which were unwillingly making noisy "quack quack" sounds on the rope.
Yu Sui sat on the ground with dignity, but his tail kept wagging behind his butt, which was enough to show his inner joy.
Behind Ashan, a burst of childish cheers came one after another, and little cubs came out shaking their heads. There were dwarf children, little snow wolves, and a few argali that gradually became familiar to them.
Yu Sui felt a little embarrassed. The gray-shelled duck was just an ordinary animal, and the tribe's cubs could basically catch them independently. It was just that they were careless in their hunting and basically no one survived. He also wanted to practice his hunting skills, so he just did it himself.
Early this morning, the cubs and Ashan rushed to Yu Sui's house and knocked on the door.
Yu Sui had indeed agreed with A Shan to go to the trap together, but who knew he would come so early and bring such a large group of cubs with him.
After his repeated teachings, these people finally knew to knock on the door when entering his yard. In the past, they always jumped in from the other side of the wall and ignored the door, big or small, the same. Later, Yu Sui severely criticized them (so he thought), and they finally learned to knock on the door.
It was already late last night when they sent away the orcs from the Golden Kingdom. They had dinner here before Notting took the key to the dwarf warehouse. Bombur himself was still staying at the coal mine and was reluctant to go back. He only asked Notting to secretly tell Yu Sui that the leader, Xi Suo, had dealt with him before and was the most peaceful one among the envoys sent by the kingdom.
This was also one of the reasons why he simply didn't come back. More importantly, the research on gunpowder was about to produce stable results, and he didn't want to waste any time.
Although he didn't come back, Yu Sui felt much more relieved after hearing these words. They were just worried that an orc who was difficult to talk to would come and magnify the impact of the merging of the dwarves with them and bring disaster to the tribe. Now they don't have to worry about that.
Last night was the only time since the cafeteria opened that no food was provided, and the tribesmen had no intention of asking. Everyone knew that the orcs sent by the Golden Kingdom were here because the Tu tribe had come. They were hostile to these people, but they also knew that they could not cause trouble for the tribe, so they tacitly stayed away from showing up.
Of course, Dahua and the others knew the orcs' attitudes, so they only stayed in the cafeteria and around the dwarves the whole time, and did not go to the snow werewolves. Perhaps they were a little disgusted by the shabby look of the place.
After dinner, Dahua and the others' attitudes towards Sui changed 180 degrees. Before leaving, they held his hand reluctantly and said that they would try to come here again next year.
Even though Heiyan used all his strength to hold Qi down, Dahua was still keenly aware of the murderous gaze of the snow werewolf next to him.
Yu Sui quickly blocked his mouth with the remaining steamed rice cakes, thus avoiding a dispute. He also packed up all the remaining steamed rice cakes for them to eat on the way.
These orcs were not as arrogant as the black werewolves. Yu Sui was wary at first, but he developed a good impression of them when they were leaving. If they came every year, he wouldn't have to worry about the dwarves anymore.
He felt that the Black Tu Tribe was really lucky. The envoys sent by the Golden Kingdom this time had a peaceful attitude and did not show any radical reaction to the Tu Tribe's incorporation into the Snow Wolf Tribe. On the contrary, before leaving, Dahua secretly told Yu Sui that she would speak well of them to the king when she returned. His words implied that Yu Sui did not need to worry too much.
Adam from the leopard tribe is slightly older than Dahua. He always looks at Yu Sui with admiration. When Dahua said this, he nodded slightly.
Xi Suo is the oldest and has the highest status. Although he did not say it explicitly, one can feel from his eyes that he has no hostility towards the Black Tu tribe. As an elder, his attitude almost determines the outcome of this matter. Yu Sui is of course very happy.
If these people were not in a hurry to reunite with their companions and were not running out of time, Yu Sui really wanted to make them some more delicious food as a thank you so that they could take it with them on the road.
However, because they made a lot of steamed cakes, Uncle Heiyan and Qi and the others didn't eat much, so there were still quite a lot left, so it wouldn't be too shabby to give them some.
Yu Sui found that Qi was really treacherous. He knew that they had to hurry on their way, but he still brought out two large jars of rice wine. It was well known that this stuff had a strong aftereffect. When the orcs left, they began to stagger. He was really afraid that they would sleep in the snow.
Whether it is the Golden Lion Clan, the Tiger Clan or the Leopard Clan, they are all physically strong and will be fine if they sleep in the snow for a night. Thinking of this, Yu Sui felt relieved.
There is a little flower in the tribe, so Yu Sui can't help but have some good feelings towards the tiger tribe member named Dahua. It would be better if the other party was not an orc from the Golden Kingdom.
After seeing them off, it was already late. Yu Sui had been nervous all day and finally wanted to have a good rest. He was woken up by Ashan and his cubs early in the morning before the sun came out. He lay on Ashan's back and walked to the reeds before he woke up. Fortunately, Ashan's fur was long and thick, so he and the cubs were not cold at all lying on it.
Yu Sui was a man of action. Thinking of raising chickens, ducks and rabbits, he started catching them directly. There were no living creatures in the traps, so they had to separate. The cubs went to drive the ducks or rabbits, while Ashan and Yu Sui were responsible for catching them, and they were quite efficient.
By now they had caught quite a few, and Yu Sui started his solo show. After catching a few times on his own, he actually found a special technique for catching living creatures. However, it was only applicable to small ones like this one, and Yu Sui's current weight was just right. If he grew a little bigger, he would easily crush the prey to death if he caught it this way.
"We've caught quite a few. We'll raise them first and let them get used to the environment. If they can survive, we'll catch a few more and let them reproduce on their own next year."
Yu Sui looked at the large bunch of gray mallards in Ashan's hand, and the white rabbits with their limbs tied up on the other side, and said with satisfaction.
"We haven't checked the traps we dug in the forest yet, there must be a lot of pheasants!"
Xiaochu jumped up to Yu Sui eagerly, his dark eyes shining, and he almost acted like a spoiled child to Yu Sui so that he would agree to go to the forest again.
The cubs and the childish Ashan beside them obviously had not played enough. For a moment, more than a dozen pairs of eyes were staring at him eagerly.
He smiled helplessly, "It's still early anyway, so let's go to the forest and take a look. It would be even better if we could catch a few more pheasants."
The Ashan brand bus took everyone back to the forest, and we enjoyed using it as a means of transportation.
It is also easy to tell whether there is prey in the trap. If there is a hole in the hay above the trap, there will be prey inside. If it is intact, it proves that no animal has passed by.
The trap they dug was the simplest. Yu Sui actually remembered the animal trap. If he put it in there, the chance of the prey escaping would be greatly reduced.
After all, the animals here are large in size, and many of them can get out after falling in.
However, the little cubs in the tribe were very naughty. Yu Sui was afraid that they would fall into traps while playing and get injured. They didn't plan to make a living by trapping. They just wanted to catch some pheasants to get their down.
In fact, ever since he caught the gray-winged duck with softer down, Yu Sui has been too lazy to catch pheasants. If he hadn't always been thinking about chicken feet, chicken wings, etc., the pheasants would have been eliminated.
Pheasant feathers are not as good as ducks, but the meat is better than that of gray-shelled ducks, and it is also good for laying eggs.
After not coming for a few days, there was indeed prey in the trap. It was not easy for Yu Sui and the other cubs to go down and come up with the prey, so this task was given to Ashan again.
As expected, the trap was full of pheasants, except for the unlucky gray rabbit, which bumped into the pheasant's sharp beak before it could use magic.
The cubs lay on the edge of the trap where the gray rabbit lay, and excitedly urged Ashan to come up quickly. This was the best prey caught in the trap they dug, and the gray rabbit meat was more tender than the white rabbit.
The meat of mid- and high-level monsters is definitely tastier, but they can't be caught every day, especially in winter. Gray rabbits have the most tender meat among low-level monsters.
Yu Sui was also lying on the edge of the cave entrance. He saw with his sharp eyes that Ashan's face suddenly changed when he was holding up the gray rabbit, and he opened his mouth in shock.
"What's wrong, Brother Ashan?" he asked hurriedly with concern. Such a simple trap would not catch any strange monsters, right?
"Ugh," Ah Shan scratched his head and raised the gray rabbit in distress. He saw that not only was there the culprit pheasant under the gray rabbit, but there was also a person stuck under the pheasant's butt...
Yu Sui was so shocked that he froze in shock, muttering, "Oh my god, how could there be someone in the trap?"
He reacted the next moment and hurriedly called Ashan to come up, "Hurry and bring it up! It's so cold, how did this human get into our territory? Did he freeze to death? If not, he must have been crushed to death..."
He was so anxious that he didn't know what he was saying.
"Why are humans coming here?" Ashan complained with a frown.
His hearing was much stronger than Yu Sui's, and he had already heard the beating of the human heart. "It's okay, he's not dead yet. He's really strong."
Yu Sui breathed a sigh of relief at first, but then he was filled with surprise: "In this kind of weather, at this altitude, with a pheasant and a gray rabbit falling down on him, he's actually not dead..."
The gray rabbits and pheasants here weigh several hundred kilograms together. My goodness, this person fell from such a height, but he is still alive?
