Chapter 228 Deer Herd



Chapter 228 Deer Herd

A few people tilted their heads to look at the ground behind him. There was a bunch of prey piled all over the ground. The rabbit was still alive, two pheasants were alive, and even the roe deer was still breathing.

There was also a large sack of wild fruits on the side.

It's like going into the mountains wholesale.

Several people looked down at themselves again. Zhou Guo was fine. He had half a bag of wild mushrooms, a rare orchid, oh, and the two big walnut trees in the mountains. Although they were not ripe yet, they could almost yield a harvest. Even if they had to compete with the small animals, they could at least get a basket, right?

Zhou Dacang and Zhou Mai were in a miserable situation as their only two wild mushrooms were taken away by Zhou Guo.

The two of them were not discouraged and stepped forward with a smile, "Sir, it must be tiring to carry so many things. Let us help you."

Zhou Dacang carried a roe deer and several pheasants. Zhou Mai didn't have that much strength, so he only carried two pheasants and a rabbit.

Zhou Guo waited until they had finished picking up the fruit before he stepped forward to pick up the fruit. "Master, what kind of fruit did you pick?"

The old man said, "It will explode in August."

"August fried dough sticks?" Zhou Guo was stunned. He hadn't eaten it for many years. This half bag of August fried dough sticks was enough for the whole family.

She picked up the fruit and followed the old man down the mountain.

Halfway through the walk, he couldn't help but open the bag and secretly took one out. He cut a wooden stick, picked up one from each end of the two sacks, and carried them on his shoulders. He ate the melon as he walked, and the seeds kept spitting out. The sweet taste spread on his tongue. Zhou Guo was very satisfied after eating it. It was still the same taste as when he was a child, except that it was a little more troublesome to spit out the seeds.

But it's okay anyway. She even deliberately chose places with more soil to spit the seeds, hoping that the seeds would sprout, grow and bear fruit. By then, the whole road would be full of melons, which would be a spectacular scene.

After eating one, he licked his lips with satisfaction, looked at the half-full bag of fruits, and couldn't help but took another one and started eating it happily.

I kept vomiting as I walked, and my mouth was sore after vomiting.

Walking from the top of the mountain to the valley, Zhou Guo was walking at the end, eating wild melon. He finally caught up with them and saw the three of them squatting behind the grass, looking forward curiously, but no one knew what they were looking at.

I put my things down and walked over, stretching my head to look forward curiously. What I saw was terrible. The melon in my mouth suddenly lost its fragrance.

A group of deer gathered by the pond!

She counted them and there were about twenty of them, but there were a few roe deer among them!

Thinking of the roasted roe deer last time, her saliva almost dripped.

His eyes lit up, "Master, there are deer and roe deer in there, shall we catch a few and take them home to raise?"

The old man nodded and said, "If you want to catch them alive, I can only catch one, or at most two."

Zhou Dacang was eager to try and said, "I'll try to catch one too."

He had been in the mountains for so long but had gained nothing. These deer were given to him for free. They were sent to him by God. It would be wrong not to catch them.

Zhou Mai's eyes sparkled as he remained silent. He knew he didn't have the ability to catch the prey and could only eat what was ready. If each person caught one of these big preys, it would be enough for the whole family to eat for a long time.

Zhou Guo finished the fruit in a few bites, threw away the rind, and rubbed his hands together, and while the deer were drinking water, several people rushed out.

Deer are naturally sensitive to hearing and eyes, and are very alert. The moment Zhou Guo and the other two rushed out, the herd of deer were frightened and ran away in all directions.

Zhou Guo spotted a stag with very beautiful horns on its head. He chased it with all his might. A deer on four legs can run quite fast.

But seeing Zhou Guo chasing closely from behind, the stag panicked and jumped down from the hillside. However, halfway through the jump, its antlers got caught on a tree branch and it could not escape no matter how hard it struggled.

Zhou Guo caught up and took a look, then she laughed. As expected, the book had not deceived her, the deer antlers really could hang on the branches.

"Crack!" The deer kept swinging the branch, and finally the branch broke and it fell down.

She jumped down immediately and punched the deer as it was struggling to get up from the ground, knocking it unconscious.

He pulled off the vines, tied the four legs, and carried it towards the valley.

The deer in the valley had long since dispersed.

There was a roe deer with its legs tied next to the old man, but there was nothing next to Zhou Dacang, so it was obvious that he didn't catch it.

They were both very happy to see Zhou Guo carrying a stag.

The old man twisted his beard and said, "Well, I haven't eaten this deer for a long time. It will be best if we roast it when we get home."

Zhou Dacang said with a smile: "Although I didn't catch anything, I can carry it. I will carry this deer out."

Zhou Guo said, "Uncle, it's good that you didn't catch any. We caught a lot today. If there was one more, I'd be worried that we wouldn't be able to take it back. There are still a few fish in the pit."

After saying that, he put down his things, picked up the vine and went to the pit to pick up the fish.

Zhou Dacang turned and went in the direction of Zhou Mai. A lot of things had been left behind, and Zhou Mai couldn't carry them all by himself.

Zhou Guo came to the puddle and found that a grass carp seemed to be missing. She remembered that there were three grass carps, but there were only two left.

I guess that one jumped out.

It was no big deal. She skewered a few fish one by one, turned to the old man and said, "Master, what are we going to eat when we go back today?"

There are so many good things caught today. Let’s not talk about anything else, just these two roe deer. One deer is amazing. Deer antlers and deer penis are all good things. There are so many things, enough for their family to eat for a long time without having to go to the mountains.

The old man looked at the fish in her hand and said without thinking: "Eat fish."

Zhou Guo looked down and realized that if the fish was left overnight, it would not taste good. "Then let's go, let's get out of the mountain."

Today is the earliest day we have left the mountains since we entered.

Four men were walking in the woods carrying a lot of stuff on their shoulders. Zhou Guo was carrying a wide wooden stick on his shoulder, with a roe deer on one end and a bunch of rabbits, pheasants and badgers on the other.

The old man was carrying the deer, and this one was a small roe deer and a badger.

Zhou Dacang carried roe deer, wild melons and mushrooms.

Zhou Mai was only carrying a string of fish. Don't underestimate this one fish, it weighed more than 20 kilograms. Walking in the mountains for such a long time was not an easy task. He didn't know any martial arts, let alone internal strength, and he didn't have much strength, so he relied entirely on his leg strength.

Zhou Guo wanted to bring his fish over, but was rejected. "I can do it. It's just three fish, right?"

The eleven-year-old boy carried a wooden stick on his shoulder, with a fish hanging on the back of the stick, which swayed as he walked.

Zhou Guo walked in the front and took out a melon from the bag in front of him and handed it to Zhou Mai behind him. Zhou Mai shook his head, saying that he was so tired from walking on the mountain road that he had no energy to eat, so he refused.

Zhou Da Cang didn't want it either. It was too dark in the woods and he had to watch his step, so he didn't want it either.

The old man didn't want it anymore. "This thing has no meat, only seeds. I'm too lazy to spit it out. You can eat it yourself. Is it really that delicious?"

His face was filled with disgust.

Zhou Guo was puzzled, "If you don't know, you would think I picked this melon."

Since no one was eating it, she ate it herself.
