Chapter 73 Bison Herd



With everything ready, Yun Xiaoxiao asked Yuan Shitou to whistle.

Yuan Shitou whistled loudly and for a long time.

Yun Xiaoxiao was very envious and tried to learn from him for a long time but still couldn't master it.

Everyone immediately took action upon hearing the whistle.

A deafening roar and shouts erupted.

Hearing the whistle, the bison herd stopped grazing and looked around.

As the "clang clang clang" sound rang out, they began to flee in panic.

Yun Xiaoxiao and her group were chasing the path the bison herd had taken.

When the bison herd is being chased, their instinctive reaction is to turn back the way they came.

But someone was chasing them along the same path. They tried to force their way through, but then they saw the torches in the hands of the people chasing them.

Terrified, they ran forward for their lives.

Just as Yun Xiaoxiao had predicted, the smaller bison did not run very fast.

Some were so panicked that they even tripped and fell.

Yun Xiaoxiao called out, "Brother Stone, hurry up!"

Yuan Shitou immediately threw out the rope he had prepared beforehand.

The rope was precisely looped around the neck of the fallen bison.

To prevent the bison herd from returning, Yun Xiaoxiao used all her strength to bang the gong loudly.

The moment Yuan Shitou harnessed the calf, he pulled it with all his might toward a nearby tree.

Then he spun around twice and tied the rope to it.

They quickly picked up the branches and torches from the ground and started chasing again.

Fortunately, the torches had not yet gone out.

Fan Tiesheng was also very lucky.

The ox he harnessed was smaller than the one Yuan Shitou had harnessed.

It should only have been a little over a month.

Don't let its small size fool you, this ox is incredibly strong.

Seeing that he was struggling, Yuan Min wanted to help.

But remembering the small instruction, he started banging on the porcelain basin and shouting again.

The Fan brothers, Tiechui and Fan Tiechui, ended up at a disadvantage.

They missed the best opportunity to lodge the calf.

All I could do was keep charging forward.

Fortunately, both Yuan Shitou and Fan Tiesheng had harnessed calves.

With everyone's help, they finally managed to trap a calf just before reaching the snare.

Hearing the calf's heart-wrenching cries, the herd of cattle tried to run back.

How could Yuan Shitou and his group possibly give them a chance?

The torch in his hand swayed back and forth, making a very loud noise.

The buffalo herd had to abandon their calves and keep running.

They ran through the air, kicking up dust, and making loud "moo moo moo" noises.

It's unclear whether they felt sorry for their calves or resentful of the people chasing them.

The buffalo's running footsteps shook the ground.

The birds in the trees also flew away one by one.

Many animals also darted out from the surrounding area.

Thanks to everyone's tireless efforts, the bison herd was finally driven to the trap.

The bison herd had no idea there was a trap ahead.

I just want to escape from these people chasing me.

They ran forward one after another.

Unsurprisingly, the bison in front fell into the ditch.

The ones behind stepped on the bison in front and jumped over.

The bison in the trench could have climbed up.

With that stomp, the branches below dug deep into their flesh.

After struggling for a while, it stopped moving.

Yun Xiaoxiao and her companions were not satisfied and chased the wild buffalo far away, bypassing the trap.

Only then did they check the trap.

There were four large bison inside, and they were all dead.

Not only were there large bison, but also two large wild boars weighing around 200 pounds each.

There were also several wild rabbits.

Yun Xiaoxiao supported herself with her legs, no longer panting.

He tilted his head back and burst into laughter.

Everyone was stunned by the result.

I didn't expect this method to be so effective.

Yuan Shitou ignored them.

Go and pull over the calf you've been harnessing.

The others also went to pull their respective calves.

The calf was so overwhelmed by the scene that its arms and legs went weak.

They had to drag them over by force.

Before they could even celebrate, they were faced with another problem.

How do we get them up here?

Even if we manage to get it up here, how will we transport it back?

These four bison each weigh over a thousand pounds.

Everyone turned their attention to Yun Xiaoxiao.

Yun Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Let's get these up here first."

Everyone looked at her: What should we do?

This isn't a couple hundred pounds, it's over a thousand pounds.

Yun Xiaoxiao found two pieces of wood, and two people pried them from one side while two people pulled them from the other.

Of course, Yun Xiaoxiao was also helping out.

They easily pulled up a cow.

Fan Tieniu said, "I thought it would be difficult, but I didn't expect it to be done so easily."

No one responded to him, because Fan Tiesheng knew:

Yuan Shitou is strong; this is a well-known fact in the village.

Yun Xiaoxiao is very strong, but few people know that.

Of course, he is not included.

Fan Tiechui glanced at Yun Xiaoxiao.

He really misjudged him; he didn't expect that this skinny guy with such thin arms and legs would be so strong.

After bringing all the prey up, everyone was faced with another problem.

How do we get it back?

Yun Xiaoxiao calmly began directing Yuan Shitou to make the cart.

Then everyone realized what was happening.

Because when we were cutting branches earlier, we cut down a lot of thick logs next to us.

It's quick to get a cart.

A total of four flatbed carts were made.

Yuan Shitou was strong, and his cart was also the largest.

There were not only bison, but also two large wild boars.

They were all tied very tightly with rope.

The small prey were then tied to the other three carts.

The tools they brought were also tied to the cart.

Yun Xiaoxiao and Yuan Min were busy herding three calves and didn't have time to carry anything else.

By the time we finished doing all that, it was almost dark.

Yun Xiaoxiao decided to rest in the mountains for one night.

The temperature is relatively low in the mountains, especially at night, so there's no fear of it spoiling.

They were afraid that the smell of blood from the bison would attract other wild animals.

They washed them all with water.

There is a small lake not far from the lawn, so the water source is very convenient.

The trench was also lined with a layer of mud to cover up the bloodstains underneath.

Under the cover of night, they collected a lot of dry branches.

The fire must not be extinguished at night, especially with so much prey.

Six bonfires were lit, arranged in a circle.

The tied-up bison and people were in the middle of the fire.

We take turns sleeping.

Although the roars of other wild animals could be heard in the distance, thankfully, they made it to dawn without any serious incident.

Everyone quickly ate something and then set off.

Yuan Shitou walked at the front, followed by Fan Tiesheng.

Yun Xiaoxiao and Yuan Min walked at the back.

I thought the calf would struggle and run away, but it obediently walked behind the cart.

There was absolutely no need for Yun Xiaoxiao and Yuan Min to put in any effort.

It was probably because they saw the bison on the cart.

Otherwise, how could they be so well-behaved?

The road back is all downhill.

Because they were pulling such heavy bison, it was even more difficult to walk.

When the slope was steep, other people would stop and help carry the carts down the mountain one by one.

One of the calves may have come back to life and is trying to escape.

They absolutely refuse to leave.

Yun Xiaoxiao then pulled out a dagger and tried to scare it by imitating Wu Zetian from the TV series.

But the calf wasn't scared at all.

Not only did it walk obediently the whole way, but it didn't even make a sound.

The group finally reached the foot of the mountain, and collapsed on the ground, exhausted.

We're finally safe.

These past few days have been a mix of surprise, fear, and excitement.

Each of them was full of energy.

After that burst of energy subsided, I didn't even have the strength to get up.
