From last night until now, Village Chief Li has sent people to guard the area where the wild goats gather.
Perhaps because of the heat, the sheep didn't move, and the meadow where they were resting looked like it was almost completely grazed.
"Chen Shao, Liu Yazi, you two are in charge, you must run as fast as you can, understand?" Village Chief Li couldn't help but instruct. "And Zhang Cheng and Er Leng, you two need to pull the nets down low, you can't afford to cause any trouble for us."
"We know!" they all replied in unison.
Village Chief Li then looked at the thirty men responsible for driving the piles and said, "You must stand in your positions properly and absolutely cannot make any mistakes, understand?"
"clear!"
Then he looked at the eight men responsible for splashing the oil and said, "We don't have much oil, so you all need to be careful not to waste it. You also need to make sure you surround all those goats. Can you do that?"
"able!"
Finally, Village Chief Li looked at Meng Tianze and Li Dachui, "Old Meng, whether we can catch them all depends on you. Dachui, you're still injured, so be careful. Shoot down as many as you can, and don't try to be brave."
"Hey, village chief, don't worry, I know what to do," Li Dachui chuckled. "Besides, once we've caught them all, Old Meng will definitely wipe them out!"
Meng Tianze also said, "Don't worry, Village Chief, I will do my best!"
His mother and wife at home, as well as the women and children in the village, are all waiting for a bite of meat. Tonight, he will do everything in his power to catch all those wild goats!
“Alright,” Village Chief Li then looked at those who hadn’t been called out earlier, “The rest of us are responsible for guarding the breach. If we see any problems, we’ll quickly move in groups of three. Can everyone do that?”
"able!"
Village Chief Li was very satisfied and waved his hand, "Let's go!"
This time, Jiang Qinyu didn't rush to the front, but instead stayed behind with Village Chief Li and Old Man Lu.
"Yu'er, quickly think of anything we might have forgotten?" Village Chief Li asked as they walked.
Jiang Qinyu shook her head with a smile, "Uncle Village Chief has thought things through very thoroughly and has arranged everything."
"It's not that I've thought of everything; it's all thanks to you reminding me!" Village Chief Li waved his hands repeatedly. "No matter what, you should get an extra share of tonight's harvest!"
He realized that last night, Jiang Qinyu had intentionally or unintentionally led them to the wild goat gathering area, and she was also the one who provided the method for catching wild goats. Today, she had also repeatedly mentioned what to pay attention to when catching them.
If they really manage to capture all those sheep, then Jiang Qinyu will definitely deserve credit.
"Uncle Village Chief, please don't say that. It's all thanks to everyone. I only did the talking." Jiang Qinyu didn't dare to take credit.
Without the villagers, her method wouldn't have been able to work.
"You're so good with words!" Anyway, Village Chief Li had already pinned most of the credit on Jiang Qinyu, so no one could change his mind.
Could anyone come up with such a method? No.
Jiang Qinyu was both amused and exasperated, but she didn't say anything more. After all, it was always good to get a larger share. Besides, Village Chief Li was referring to giving it to her, not the Lu family.
The group soon arrived near the spot where the wild goats had been spotted the previous night. Everyone immediately fell silent, and all verbal communication was replaced by hand gestures.
They had practiced setting up the net in advance that afternoon, so the operation went extremely smoothly. Everyone quietly made their way to their assigned positions as agreed beforehand.
Village Chief Li asked Jiang Qinyu to join him in directing the operation, with Old Man Lu assisting. The three of them went over last.
When they arrived at their spot, everyone's eyes lit up as they looked at the wild goats on the grassland.
After a day and a night, the goats hadn't moved much. Jiang Qinyu guessed that they had only migrated here a couple of days ago, and with the sun blazing, food plentiful, and water nearby, they naturally preferred to stay put.
However, Jiang Qinyu and the others didn't have time to look for a water source nearby yet. They thought it wouldn't be too late to look for one after they dealt with the goats. The water wouldn't run away, but the goats would.
Ahead, Chen Shao and Liu Yazi stood at opposite ends of the shorter side of the grassland. Liu Yazi swung his stick once, and Chen Shao swung it back three times. The two then began to rush towards the other end of the grassland.
Zhang Cheng and Liu Erleng stood at opposite ends of the longer grassy area. After Liu Yazi and the others started running, the two of them also held up their nets and rushed towards the other side.
A net is held by four people at each of its four corners, but only two people need to rush to the other side. Two nets are stacked horizontally and vertically to prevent them from being broken through by wild goats.
As Chen Shao and Liu Yazi entered the wild goat's territory, the wild goats on the grassland also began to move.
However, the sheep were not as quick to react as they were during the day. Several of them stood up first, and then bleated a few times before the other goats gradually stood up. By the time they had all stood up, Chen Shao and Liu Yazi had already run to the end of the grassland, and a large net descended from the sky!
At the same time, another large trap set by Zhang Cheng and Liu Erleng was also laid!
"Uncle Wu, take over quickly, I can't stand up anymore!" As soon as Liu Yazi reached the designated position, he slid down to his knees on the ground.
Wu Dazhu, who was in charge of receiving him, quickly grabbed the corner of the net from his hand, saying, "You take a break, we have to guard this corner!"
Liu Yazi, panting heavily, nodded but didn't reply.
On the other side, Chen Shao, Zhang Cheng, and Liu Erleng were in the same situation. Due to the rapid charge in a short period of time, their physical strength was greatly depleted, and it was impossible for them to still be able to hold the corner they were responsible for. Therefore, Jiang Qinyu had already arranged for people to meet them.
With the two nets in place, the wild goats completely rioted, and Jiang Qinyu and the others were able to speak loudly again.
