There were quite a few people going up the mountain this time.
The three Fan brothers, the three Amu brothers, and the three close brothers Yuan Shitou.
Including Yun Xiaoxiao and Yuan Min, there are a total of 12 people.
They entered Misty Mountain in a grand procession.
Originally, Fan Tiesheng didn't want Yuan Min to go, fearing she might be pregnant.
But Yuan Min insisted on going.
She also said that her period had just ended a few days ago, so how could she be pregnant so quickly?
Fan Tiesheng couldn't argue with her, so he had no choice but to nod in agreement.
When you first enter the mountains, whoever hunts the game naturally owns it.
Later, Yun Xiaoxiao told her about her idea of hunting wild buffalo, making jerky, and selling it down the mountain.
They also said that everyone should work together to deal with the bison.
We'll split it equally then.
Everyone said they had no objections.
So they didn't rush to attack the bison.
Instead, they cleared out the traps they had dug before.
It has been widened and deepened again.
Then they began to chase the bison herd in the same way.
Unsurprisingly, it was a great success.
This time they gained much more than last time.
There were about ten bison lying inside, of various sizes.
It was a great harvest.
Those who hadn't participated last time were so shocked they couldn't close their mouths.
Even Fan Tieniu and his colleagues who had been involved were surprised.
I never expected to gain so much this time.
Without a moment to rest, everyone pitched in and pulled the bison out of the trap.
They were all panting heavily from exhaustion.
Before they could even catch their breath...
The herd of bison that had just been driven away charged back in a flurry.
And it was aggressive.
The group was so frightened that they quickly climbed up the tree.
People from the mountains can do many things, but climbing trees is definitely one of them.
The bison were furious.
It kept crashing into the tree, almost knocking the people on it off.
If these trees weren't big and thick enough, they probably would have broken long ago.
When the buffalo herd realized they hadn't knocked the people off, they pushed all the dead buffalo they had dragged up into the trap.
Only then did he leave reluctantly.
The people in the tree were dumbfounded.
What kind of crazy move is this?
Is the bison retaliating?
Or is he venting his anger?
They stood in the tree and watched as the bison herd indeed ran far away.
Then he jumped down from the tree and laboriously pulled the bison out of the trap, tying it to a cart that had been prepared beforehand.
There are definitely not enough handcarts.
Some people helped tie up the bison, while others quickly made a cart.
This simple cart is quick to make.
It can be made by binding together a few thick logs.
As was the case this time, there were still several wild boars and some rabbits in the trap.
Yuan Min and Yun Xiaoxiao then pulled wild boars and rabbits.
Including the taxi they took to get here, it was basically two fully loaded carts.
The rest of them each pulled a large bison.
However, there was still a half-grown bison left, which caused some concern.
Yun Xiaoxiao made room in her cart so they could tie the little bison to it.
Amu and the others definitely wouldn't agree.
Yun Xiaoxiao is so small, just like her name suggests. She's thin and small, how could she possibly pull it?
Although this bison is only half-grown, it probably weighs seven or eight hundred pounds.
And what about other prey?
With Yun Xiaoxiao's repeated insistence.
Yuan Shitou tied two more large wild boars to his cart.
They came in a grand procession and returned in a grand procession.
Yun Xiaoxiao had told Yuan's mother about it before she left.
They went hunting bison again this time.
Although Yuan's mother disagreed, she knew she couldn't stop them.
After they left, he ran off to inform several families to prepare.
Go to the foot of the mountain and wait according to the appointed time.
Sure enough, two days later, a group of people came down the mountain from afar.
He immediately sent someone back to inform the others.
The village chief rushed over upon hearing the news and was astonished to see so many large wild buffalo.
He was truly stunned and couldn't help but ask:
"There are so many wild buffalo on this mountain, are they so easy to catch?"
He knew they were going to Misty Mountain.
Although he didn't agree, he didn't go with them and couldn't stop them.
They had no choice but to give up, as long as they knew to be careful.
They all started running up the mountain from a young age; they're incredibly skilled.
His youngest son, Ah Shui, said with a smile, "Father, you still don't believe me."
There are so many bison on this mountain.
Not to mention hundreds, there are easily over 100.
They're really easy to catch; just shout at them and they'll run away.
If they run, they will fall into the trap we have set in advance.
"We'll just have to pull it up then."
Look how easily he says it!
Those standing nearby were trembling with fear.
The cattle here are not so easy to catch and shout at.
It would be strange if he didn't turn around and smash your stomach open.
The village chief gave Yun Xiaoxiao a deep look.
He guessed that she must be the one who came up with such an idea.
Otherwise, why didn't anyone think of this before?
Yun Xiaoxiao pretended not to know and smiled at his gaze.
Seeing so many cows, the village chief asked, "Should we take one out and share it with the villagers?"
Yun Xiaoxiao was the first to refuse, and her reasons were quite valid.
There are more than 200 households in the village.
One bison might not even be enough to go around.
I won't say that.
A small favor is appreciated, but a large one breeds resentment.
If you take a share this time, wouldn't that mean they'd have to share every big thing they hunt?
If they don't share the spoils after taking them once, they'll definitely cause a scene.
Rather than doing that, it would be better not to start this in the first place.
The village chief agreed with this reasoning and let the matter drop.
He had no experience dealing with these bison, so he asked Yuan Shitou and the others how they had handled them before.
Before they could get an answer, Yuan's mother and the other women arrived, carrying baskets on their backs and carrying hampers on their shoulders.
The basket contained a lot of oilcloth, various knives, and torches.
The village chief was somewhat taken aback: "You need to handle this here."
Yun Xiaoxiao nodded.
They've already discussed it and will do it the same way they did last time.
Cut all the meat into strips and put them at Yuan Shitou's house to marinate.
After they're made into jerky, we'll take them down the mountain to sell.
Yuan Shitou's family lived in a secluded area, some distance from other people's homes.
In addition, their house is spacious, so they don't have to worry about not having enough room to maneuver.
The village chief's wife also came along.
She rolled up her sleeves and said to the village chief, "What are you all standing there for? Get to work!"
She has a strange habit: she always likes to say things she doesn't mean in front of the village chief.
To outsiders, I speak the truth, without reservation.
She also loves listening to gossip, but she never interrupts; she just listens.
Therefore, it's simply impossible to pin anything on her.
The three Fan brothers skillfully laid out an oilcloth and began peeling the skin.
The women, on the other hand, began to cut off pieces of their flesh.
After filling a basket with harvested crops, they carried it along the path to Yuan Shitou's house.
Then several women will carry the meat back and start rubbing it with salt.
The village chief watched the others busy themselves, wondering what they were doing.
Xiao Xiao handed him the dagger in her hand and said, "Uncle, please help me peel the skin."
