As long as these wild boars are around, any other animals that come will definitely come too. Besides, there's a lot of blood here. Although the warehouse has enough meat, the two still want to see if any more animals will come.
The two of them stayed in the tree, waiting for the animals to come out. Soon, they heard a noise coming from the bushes. When they looked closely, An Shuyi was almost scared to death. She couldn't help but curse in her heart, "Just how many pythons are in this jungle?"
Moreover, there were two of them at once. She even wondered if seeing this python so often would give her a psychological trauma when she saw fabric of this color in the future. It was really too scary.
Xia Hua knew she was scared, so she picked up the bow and arrow, ready to shoot, but An Shuyi stopped her. If she couldn't kill the thing with one arrow, it would discover where they were.
They were still in the tree, and the python could swallow them whole if it raised its body. There was nowhere to escape. After all, it was a good place to jump down, so in order to avoid contact with this ugly thing, she decided to use a bomb.
When she was stopped, Xia Hua knew what she was up to. Then she saw Shu Shu produce two bombs and hand one to her. Although it was a bit of a waste, she still took it.
They took a lighter from the warehouse, lit the fuse of the bomb, and then threw it at the python. The moment they threw it, the two of them hugged the tree tightly, and soon a huge sound came.
A moment later, another loud noise rang out. When the thick smoke cleared, the two looked with relief at the spot where the python had appeared. There was no sign of the python there now, only two large craters on the ground and some bits of flesh. However, in the distance, they could still see a section of the python's tail in the jungle.
"This bomb is really powerful, it's great." An Shuyi said happily, then suddenly turned around and grabbed Xia Hua, "Hua Hua, do you think if we get more explosives, we can just blow up those disobedient people?"
"Especially during wartime, we should get more bombs so we can stand on the wall and blow those bastards to bits. How awesome would that be?"
Xia Hua thought for a moment and then said, "We can manage a few bombs, but too many are not an option. Besides, with such great power, it's not good to rely on these to lead troops into battle."
"If it can deter the enemy, that's fine. But if bombs are used in every battle, how can the soldiers train every day? There's no need to recruit soldiers then, since even an old man can throw a bomb."
“We don’t have any bombs in this world, but what about when we leave? So this method won’t work. It’s better to be down-to-earth. And fighting isn’t that difficult.”
Although this is fast, it will also cause people to live in fear every day, afraid that one day these bombs will be dropped on the city. And there are still more than ten years to go, so we have to take it slowly.
Although An Shuyi thought the bomb was better, she didn't say anything more. Looking at the big crater on the ground, she knew no animals would come, so she prepared to find a place to spend the night.
"Huahua, let's find a place to spend the night, and go back to the village tomorrow." Now that we've caught the prey, it's time to prepare to return to the village.
Xia Hua nodded, and the two climbed down from the tree. Too lazy to check the python's corpse, they walked away until they reached the river where they had rested the night before, where they finally stopped to rest.
After a simple meal, Xia Hua processed the tiger. This tiger wasn't going to be taken back to the village; its skin needed to be tanned here, and the meat would be stored in Shu Shu's warehouse.
With nothing to do, An Shuyi asked Xia Hua to take out the fox fur from her warehouse to make a cloak. She had all the needles, thread, and scissors; the only things she didn't have, Xia Hua could buy at the mall.
The first thing to do is to cut off the bad parts of the hide. After cutting it out, the hides are sewn together. The fox fur is also carefully combed so that the bad fur will fall off. Although it is tanned very well, she still sews an inner lining inside.
She used ordinary fabric, not silk, but she had only sewed a little bit when it got dark, so she had to put it back in the warehouse and continue sewing when she had time.
The next morning, after washing up and having breakfast, the two headed towards the outer edge of the mountain. Along the way, they would stop and dig up any flowers and plants they saw, even though they weren't very expensive, they might be able to sell them for a few taels of silver.
By the time the two reached the outer edge of the mountain, it was already afternoon. Xia Hua went back to the village to call people to move the things, while An Shuyi was responsible for taking the things out.
She took out all the sika deer, as well as wolf carcasses, black bear carcasses, and lion carcasses. Except for the wolf meat, which wasn't tasty, the others were all acceptable. After taking out the items, she sat to the side and waited.
Fortunately, she didn't have to wait too long. Xia Hua brought her men up. Because there was a lot of prey, twenty men came directly. They looked at the prey, and without saying a word, they picked it up and headed down the mountain.
An Shuyi carried nothing but a basket on her back and went to Xia Hua's side. "Hua Hua, why did you come up here? You must be tired. It would be better if you rested in the village."
"I wasn't too tired. I called them from halfway up the mountain. Xiao Wu was building a house, and Mu Tou was there with people finishing up. I asked him to call more people up." She didn't even go down the mountain.
"Oh, I see. But I didn't hear you call for someone." Perhaps she was too focused on taking the things out, which is why she didn't hear me.
Xia Hua shook her head. "Then I don't know. Maybe it's still some distance from here to the halfway point, which is why you didn't hear it. But don't worry about that. Instead of asking, we should go down the mountain and rest."
After they came down the mountain, the workshop staff came out, some of them customers. It was only just past noon, and there were still people buying things. If they wanted to eat in the village, they could come and buy things.
There were tables in the room next to the canteen, but not many people went there to eat. It was the first time they had ever seen so much prey. After all, they were ladies, young ladies and maids, and they were all terrified.
But he quickly overcame his fear and stood at a distance watching. A lady, probably a regular customer, instructed her maid to invite Village Chief Lin over and ask him if he would sell his sika deer.
Upon hearing this, Village Chief Lin felt a pang of regret. He shouldn't have let them bring the game to the canteen; he should have left it by the pond. But it was too late to say anything now.
"Guest, these are game hunted by the villagers. We don't know if they'll sell them. Perhaps I should go ask them and get back to you." It seems I'll have to ask my sister-in-law.
The lady nodded happily, "Village Chief Lin, go quickly, you can tell the villagers that I am willing to give more money."
