Xiaoman called Xiaohei over. "Naonao, Tengteng, you two go with Xiaohei."
Nao Nao and Tengteng: "Okay."
Xiaoman looked at Lü Hui and said, "This is your first time entering the mountains, so come with me."
Lü Hui: "Okay."
Xiaoman looked at Zuo Zuo and You You: "You two come with me too."
Zuo Zuo and You You: "Okay."
Xiaoman glanced at her older sister and said, "You come with me too."
The older sister said, "Mom, you've already taken care of three children. My brother and I should stay with Dad." If she stayed with Dad, he would definitely carry her. If she stayed with Mom, she would have to walk on her own.
"It's alright." Xiaoman looked at her younger brother: "You stay with your father."
Younger brother: "Okay."
The older sister tried to persuade her mother further: "Mother, if I go with you, you'll have to take care of four children. Mother, I'd rather stay with Father."
Xiaoman glanced at her older sister and said, "I could manage even four more."
"Okay. Mom, I'll go carry Meimei on my back."
"Um."
After taking a few steps, the older sister remembered: "Mother, didn't you tell me to look after my younger brother?"
"Don't worry, your brother won't leave your sight."
"oh."
After making the arrangements, Xiaoman led everyone to the place where the militiamen were gathered, following Han Yong.
Tiger Girl greeted Xiaoman as soon as she saw her: "Captain, can I come with you today?"
Xiaoman smiled and said, "Okay."
Tiger Girl had been hunting in the mountains with the militia since she was little, so Da Bao didn't find it strange. However, because he dreamed about doing *that* with Tiger Girl last night, Da Bao was a little afraid to look at her today.
Xiao Qin was a little surprised to see Hu Niu carrying hunting tools: "Girl, you can hunt too?"
Tiger Girl: "Mmm."
The older sister's eyes lit up as soon as she saw Tiger Girl: "Tiger Girl, I'm going with my mother today too."
Tiger Girl patted her sister's head: "If you can't walk anymore, tell your sister and I'll carry you."
The older sister's eyes immediately crinkled with laughter: "Okay. Tiger Girl, you're so kind."
Once everyone had arrived, Xiaoman led them off. To give the children the energy for hunting, as soon as they left Hanjiazhuang, Xiaoman had Naonao, Tengteng, Zuozuo, Youyou, and Lü Hui ride on Xiaohei's back. Xiaohei was now tall and strong, and carrying five children was no problem for him.
After the children were seated, Xiaoman picked up her older sister. Hanbin also picked up his younger brother.
Tiger Girl and Xiao Qin offered to help Xiao Man and Han Bin carry the baby, but Xiao Man and Han Bin refused.
Da Bao also wanted to be held, but Xiao Man and Han Bin wouldn't let him.
Happiness came so suddenly that my sister couldn't believe it: "Mom, why are you so kind today?"
Xiaoman smiled and said, "I have something to do today."
"Oh." The older sister hugged Xiaoman's neck: "Mom, if you're tired, put me down. I'll have the old wolf carry me."
"good."
The wolf ran over as soon as its sister mentioned its name.
When the older sister saw the wolf coming over, she said, "Good boy."
The old wolf circled Xiaoman twice before running back to the front.
Once they reached the mountains, Xiaoman told the militiamen, "You guys go hunting. I came into the mountains today mainly to train the children."
Xiaoman asked Han Yong and the others to go into the mountains with them for two reasons: first, to lure Hu Niu out; and second, because Han Bin had a special status, and if they went into the mountains alone, people would think they were trying to undermine socialism by taking advantage of Han Bin's status.
Han Yong looked at the militiamen: "Do you want to go hunting or watch the captain train the children?"
The militiamen all said they wanted to see how Xiaoman would train the children.
Xiaoman had anticipated this: "Then we'll train them in the morning and go hunting in the afternoon."
Han Yong: "Okay."
Xiaoman looked at Hanbin, who put his younger brother down on the ground and said, "Go hunting with your brothers."
Younger brother: "Okay."
The older sister thought she had to go hunting too, but Xiaoman kept holding her.
The older sister blinked: "Mother, don't I have to go?"
"Um."
My sister's eyes widened immediately: "Really?"
"Um."
The older sister was overjoyed: "That's wonderful! But who will look after my brother if I don't go?"
“Look at your brothers.”
"Oh." The older sister hesitated for a moment, "My brothers are going hunting. Maybe I should go instead."
"No need." Xiaoman looked at Naonao and Tengteng: "Keep an eye on your little brother."
Nao Nao and Tengteng: "Okay."
Xiaoman patted her younger brother's head: "Learn from your older brothers well, and try not to hold them back."
Younger brother: "Okay."
Xiaoman looked at Naonao and Tengteng: "Let's begin."
Nao Nao and Tengteng: "Okay."
Nao Nao and Tengteng exchanged a glance.
Nao Nao: "Hui Hui, Zuo Zuo, You You, little brother, we're still small. So we can only hunt small prey. If we encounter big prey, we have to hide."
Huihui and the others nodded.
Nao Nao continued, "Hui Hui and I are older, so we'll be in charge of attacking when we find prey. Zuo Zuo and You You, you two are in charge of distracting the prey. Little brother, you follow Zuo Zuo and You You."
Younger brother: "Okay. Nao Nao, have you forgotten about Tengteng?"
"No. Tengteng, you're in charge of overseeing the whole situation."
The younger brother scratched his head: "What does 'controlling the overall situation' mean?"
Tengteng: "Controlling the overall situation means commanding."
Younger brother: "Didn't Brother Nao Nao already assign us tasks?"
Tengteng: "Yeah. But when we actually encounter prey, there might be a lot of other situations. For example, we might be ganging up on a wild boar, and then another wild boar comes from behind. If we don't pay attention, we'll get hurt. So, we need to leave one person behind to watch out for any more prey coming. Also, if anyone is in danger, the person who stays behind has to go and help. Understand?"
"Um."
Nao Nao: "Mom, Dad, is there anything you'd like to add?"
Xiaoman looked at her older sister and said, "You tell me."
After thinking for a moment, the older sister said, "Brother Nao Nao, Brother Tengteng, and Brother Hui Hui, the three of you can take turns in charge of the overall situation."
Nao Nao, Tengteng, and Huihui: "Okay."
Xiaoman glanced at Han Bin.
Han Bin: "Safety first, hunting second."
Nao Nao and Tengteng answered "hello" and looked towards Xiaoman.
Xiaoman: "Your Uncle Han Yong and his family often go hunting in the mountains."
Nao Nao and Tengteng understood.
Nao Nao walked up to the militiamen: "Uncle, can you teach us how to hunt?"
The militiamen were stunned.
Nao Nao asked the militiamen again before they came to their senses. After they came to their senses, the militiamen shared their experiences.
Some of the insights shared by the militia members were known to Nao Nao and Tengteng, while others were not.
After the militiamen finished speaking, Naonao called Tengteng and the others over, and they all bowed to the militiamen and said thank you, uncles.
After saying that, Nao Nao asked Xiao Man, "Mom, can we start now?"
"Can."
Xiaoman looked at Han Bin. Han Bin gave each of the children a stick, a small bow and arrow, and ten arrows. However, the arrowheads were all blunt: "I'll give you arrows with arrowheads once you see the prey and stop panicking."
After Nao Nao and Tengteng had their bows and arrows on their backs and their sticks in hand, Xiaoman said, "Let's begin."
Nao Nao and Tengteng agreed and began searching for prey.
Han Yong looked at Xiao Man and asked, "Should we let them find their own prey?"
Xiaoman nodded and followed after her sister, hugging her.
Xiao Hei walked to the left of Nao Nao.
Han Bin led Lao Lang and Xiao Qin to the right of Nao Nao's group.
Han Yong led the militiamen to follow Xiao Man.
Tiger Girl saw a small black cat on her left and followed it.
Just as Da Bao was hesitating about whether to go with Hu Niu, Han Bin spoke up: "Da Bao, you go with Hu Niu."
"Okay." Da Bao agreed and walked over to Xiao Hei and Hu Niu.
Xiaoman smiled. Since Tian Dahua wanted her to match Dabao and Huniu together, she would try. However, she didn't have time to slowly match them up, so…
