"Tomorrow morning, let's have everyone stay where they are and take a few people up the mountain to have a look!"

Now that we have run out of food, there is no need to rush.

Bai Qingyun was too lazy to deal with Twelve. It was really boring to tease such a straight woman.

The conversation can always end in two sentences.

When dealing with a straight woman like this, you can only play straight.

Sure enough, Twelve did not reject Bai Qingyun's arrangement. Turning back and resting was considered as his agreement.

Early the next morning, the hunting team had already assembled.

The people are still the same group, the familiar team. Whether they are following Father Bai to the mountains to hunt or to dig coal, they are always at the forefront.

"We'll wait here. It's okay if you eat less. You'll need strength to go up the mountain. Don't starve."

Early in the morning, Village Chief Yang organized all the villagers to gather the remaining food together, and the Bai family was no exception.

Bai Qingyun knew about Village Chief Yang's arrangements in advance. In order to allow everyone to eat more, he went to the ox cart that carried the grain overnight and filled the grain bags to the brim.

Fortunately, the old ox pulling the cart would be placed aside by Grandpa Bai every night. Otherwise, facing the ox cart that was obviously much heavier, the old ox would have protested with its nose pierced.

Everyone is tightening their belts now and no longer cares about which family has more food and which has less food. They just hope that the men who go up the mountain can have enough to eat so that they can spend the next two days safely.

The hunting team went up the mountain, and everyone's eyes followed them up the mountain. Even if their figures had disappeared into the mountains, they were reluctant to look away, all looking forward to the sight of the prey coming down the mountain that would appear before their eyes in the next second.

"Xiao Yan, follow me closely and don't run around, okay?"

After entering the mountain, everyone slowly groped their way forward in formation. The hills were unfamiliar and sparsely populated, with few signs of anyone having set foot there.

After spending some time together, Xiao Yan's emotions have become much more stable, but the girl is still dependent on Bai Qingyun, and is unwilling to even pay attention to her peers in Dayang Village.

He was silent most of the time, and only when Bai Qingyun teased him with a few words would his dull expression become somewhat lively.

Anyone who goes into the mountains must be experienced or strong. Xiao Yan is the only one who is so weak that she can't even tie a chicken.

Originally, she shouldn't be brought into such a dangerous environment at such a young age, but Bai Qingyun was not with the girl, which made people even more worried.

No matter what the Bai family members were doing, they had to keep an eye on her from time to time to prevent her from doing anything stupid when no one was around.

But such a sight will only make people with fragile spirits more sensitive.

Compared to staying at the foot of the mountain where there is no danger, Xiao Yan is safer and obedient beside Bai Qingyun.

Xiao Yan knew the dangers of going up the mountain, so he just gently grasped the corner of Bai Qingyun's clothes and followed him closely.

Hearing Bai Qingyun's instructions, he would respond in a low voice: "Xiao Yan will always follow Sister Yun!"

She didn't want to distract Sister Yun because of her own reasons, so she acted well-behaved, as if telling Bai Qingyun not to worry about her.

"Dad, can you find the trace of the prey?"

Although the weather is gradually warming up now, this is not the best time for hibernating animals to end hibernation.

There was still a thin layer of snow on the mountain road. The sunlight shone through the dry branches. As people stepped on it, the snow began to melt slowly.

As long as there are traces of living things, they will leave deep or shallow marks on the ground.

Experienced hunters are familiar with the habits of animals and can infer the general direction through the footprints and broken branches around them.

But all of these are based on the premise that there are animals living there.

"Not yet, let's go deeper into the mountains!"

Father Bai was also very worried. Ordinary pheasants and wild ducks would not be enough to fill the stomachs of so many people unless there were a large number of them!

I wonder if the mountains could hear the sorrow in Bai's father's heart.

A few pheasants were strolling leisurely in a cluster of dry branches.

For the first time, Bai Qingyun felt that the pheasant was so beautiful!

The unique appearance is not only brightly colored, but also has gorgeous feathers that present a variety of colorful colors.

Several pheasants have reached adulthood. Adult pheasants are 70-90 cm long and weigh 2-4 kg.

The broad and strong wings, with feathers in colorful colors such as blue, green, white, and gray, interweave to form a complex and exquisite pattern. The white feathers covering the head and neck are shaped like a unique "hat".

Bai Qingyun focused his gaze, and the team tacitly slowed down their pace.

Father Bai skillfully drew the bow and took aim. At the critical moment, Bai Qingshan beside him shot the arrow faster than Father Bai.

The boy was already an expert, and after holding the pen for more than half a year, his skills had not deteriorated.

"Good boy, you have the demeanor of your young father!"

Bai Qingyun's arrow was fast and powerful, and the pheasant soon lay on the ground motionless.

The sound of the arrow piercing the clouds startled other pheasants nearby, and they soon scattered.

Everyone was no pushover. They quickly divided the work and went after the scattered pheasants.

"Gather here after one stick of incense!"

What is different from the past is that this time Twelve is in command of the team and is also responsible for the safety of everyone.

Everyone responded, gathered in groups of two or three, and then scattered in pursuit.

Twelve used his lightness skills to fly onto the branch, tapped his toes, looked in the direction of the crowd, and after confirming that it was correct, he began to look for other prey nearby.

In addition to Bai Qingyun and Bai's father, Bai Qingyunshan, who was a member of the Bai family this time, agreed to go up the mountain because of his good archery skills. At this time, he followed Bai's father and the others, competing while hunting.

Seeing that the two were competing fiercely, Bai Qingyun did not follow them. Instead, he took Xiao Yan with him to search the place where the pheasant was found.

There are many small trees and weeds here, which is where pheasants like to lay eggs.

Relying on his experience, he dug through the withered grass and found a few pheasant eggs lying inside.

Bai Qingyun and Xiao Yan smiled at each other, then carefully picked up the pheasant eggs.

Xiao Yan's cloak belonged to Bai Qingyun. It was slightly too big, and the hem dragged on the ground. Bai Qingyun lifted the large hem and placed the pheasant eggs on it, motioning Xiao Yan to keep them well, and then continued searching.

After receiving Bai Qingyun's instructions, Xiao Yan's originally confused eyes instantly focused and he stared at the pheasant eggs very seriously.

An incense stick later, the team members returned, having hunted eight pheasants and found more than thirty pheasant eggs.

"Dashan, take Qingshan and the pheasant and pheasant eggs down the mountain first! We'll take a look around."

Father Bai gathered the prey together and gave instructions to Yang Dashan.

Before going up the mountain, everyone didn't eat much, so they should be hungry now. We killed these pheasants and boiled a few pots of pheasant soup, which can also warm the body.

Furthermore, Bai Qingyun also gave a look to Bai's father. The next prey would not be an easy animal to hunt like a pheasant. Although Bai Qingshan was good at archery, he lacked experience. Now was not the time to accumulate experience. Safety should be the priority most of the time.

Sending Bai Qingshan away was also out of Bai's father's own selfish desire.
