Siheyuan: Buyers get rich from hunting

However, at this critical moment, a sudden and unpredictable gust of wind whistled by, as if it was a prank by nature. It was like a wild horse running wildly, sweeping the entire forest with an irresistible force. Wherever the gust of wind passed, dust and fallen leaves were blown all over the sky, branches swayed, and made whimpering sounds. The entire forest seemed to be shaken by this force, becoming noisy and chaotic.

The strong wind made the pheasant, which was foraging quietly, suddenly alert. It quickly raised its small and alert head, and its round eyes rolled around, as if it could see through everything in the world. It felt the unusual breath in the air and realized that the potential danger was approaching quietly. So, it gave up the food in front of it without hesitation, flapped its powerful wings vigorously, and flew out of the bushes like an arrow with a quick and powerful "fluttering" sound. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared in the dense woods, leaving only a field of falling leaves and dust, and two stunned hunters.

The two watched helplessly as the prey that was about to be caught flew away, their hearts filled with disappointment and helplessness. Their faces were filled with regret and unwillingness. This was their first hunting attempt, and they did not expect it to be so unsuccessful and end in such a frustrating outcome. They looked at each other and read the same emotion in each other's eyes - disappointment and persistence.

In the following long time, He Yuzhu and Madaha continued to explore the mountains and forests with difficulty. Their steps never stopped, and their desire and passion for hunting never diminished. They knew that hunting was not only a test of physical strength and skills, but also a test of patience and perseverance.

During this period, they encountered similar situations several times. One time, a cunning fox appeared in their sight. The fox's fur was fiery red and shiny, like a burning flame, jumping and shuttling between the mountains and forests. Its narrow eyes flashed with cunning light, as if it could see into people's hearts and predict the future.

Just as He Yuzhu and Ma Daha approached quietly, happily thinking that they could successfully capture the fox this time, the fox seemed to have foreseen their intentions in advance. It was neither impatient nor impatient, as if it was playing a cat and mouse game with them.

At the critical moment, it dodged and nimbly got into a hidden cave nearby, leaving behind only a series of smug laughter and a hurried back, which once again plunged the two hunters into disappointment and confusion. However, these setbacks did not discourage them, but instead strengthened their determination to move forward.

Another time, an extremely agile squirrel completely overturned He Yuzhu and Ma Daha's hunting plan.

The squirrel was extremely small, with a tail as fluffy as clouds, just like a fairy in nature. It jumped lightly between the branches, and every jump seemed to be a wonderful acrobatic performance, and the speed was so fast that it was like a flash of lightning in the air, which was dazzling.

When He Yuzhu and Madaha finally locked onto this seemingly easy target and raised their shotguns to shoot, the squirrel seemed to have the ability to predict the future. In an instant, it suddenly jumped up, its body light and graceful, and easily jumped onto the high treetops. Then, it looked down at the two people below who were stunned, its pair of black and shiny eyes flashing with cunning light, as if laughing at their incompetence. What made the two people laugh and cry was that the squirrel playfully shook its big furry tail a few times, as if saying: "You still want to catch me? Practice for a few more years!"

Every time, they approached those prey that seemed within reach with full expectation and confidence, but in the end they could only watch them escape from their sight. The feeling of being so close yet missing it was really frustrating, like a carefully prepared feast that was ruthlessly interrupted at the last moment.

At this time, Ma Daha was so tired that he was out of breath. He could no longer support his exhausted body and sat down on a big rock beside him. He was breathing heavily, his chest was heaving violently, and his face was full of frustration and helplessness. He complained: "Yuzhu, I think we are really unlucky today! We worked so hard for a long time, but we didn't catch any hair. This luck is too bad!"

Although He Yuzhu felt a little disappointed and frustrated after hearing this, he knew that he should not be easily discouraged in this situation. He understood that hunting is not only a test of physical strength and skills, but also a test of patience and perseverance. So he took a deep breath and tried to adjust his emotions, not letting these negative emotions affect him.

Then, he walked over to Madaha, patted him on the shoulder gently, and comforted and encouraged him in a firm and warm voice: "Brother, don't be discouraged! Hunting is not an easy thing. Many times, it does require a little bit of luck. We have just started trying, so it is normal to lack experience. As long as we don't give up, keep persevering, and keep learning and improving our hunting skills, I believe that one day we will encounter big prey and return with a full load!"

After saying that, he showed Madaha a firm and confident smile, as if to say: "Brother, don't be afraid, I'm here, we can do it!" Madaha looked at He Yuzhu's firm eyes and confident smile, and the frustration and fatigue in his heart seemed to be relieved a lot. He cheered up, patted the dust on his body, and continued on the hunting journey with He Yuzhu.

At this moment, a low roar like thunder suddenly rolled out from the deep valley not far away, as if some mysterious power deep in nature was awakening, with an indescribable sense of majesty and oppression. This sudden sound made He Yuzhu and Ma Daha look at each other in surprise. Their eyes flashed with doubt and uneasiness, and an indescribable fear surged in their hearts for no reason, as if they were tightly grasped by some unknown force and could not break free.

They looked at each other, and without saying anything, they lightened their steps as if by telepathy, as if even their breathing had become cautious. They carefully groped their way forward in the direction from which the sound came, taking every step with extreme caution, fearing that the slightest sound would alarm the unknown source. Along the way, the rustling of leaves and the chirping of birds seemed to become particularly clear, and every sound made their nerves even more tense.

After a difficult trek, they finally arrived at the entrance of a very hidden valley. This place was covered with dense vegetation, as if it was a refuge specially prepared by nature for creatures that did not want to be disturbed. Through the gaps between the lush branches and leaves, they could vaguely see a majestic wild deer standing quietly by a clear stream in the valley, bowing its head and drinking water. The fur of the wild deer was as smooth as silk and shiny, and it sparkled charmingly under the sunlight, like a carefully carved work of art. Its bright eyes were like two dazzling gems, revealing a kind of agility and alertness, but it seemed so peaceful and harmonious while enjoying the pleasure brought by the cool stream water.

"Look, it's a wild deer! We must seize this rare opportunity this time!" Although Ma Daha's voice was very low, his excitement and excitement were hard to conceal. He held the hunting rifle tightly, and his fingers unconsciously stroked the cold gun barrel, as if it was his only support at the moment.

He Yuzhu, who was standing by, also became extremely nervous when he heard this, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, beating like a war drum. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He slowly raised the heavy hunting rifle in his hand and pointed the muzzle steadily at the wild deer not far away. At this moment, time seemed to freeze, and all he could see was the wild deer and the upcoming decisive moment. His finger gently rested on the trigger, and he silently said in his heart: "It must be steady, it must be accurate..."

However, just as He Yuzhu was about to pull the trigger and the decisive moment was about to come, the wild deer, which had been concentrating on drinking water, suddenly seemed to sense the tension and danger in the air and raised its head. Its clear and deep eyes were instantly filled with vigilance and hostility, as if it could see through people's hearts, staring directly at the human who was trying to turn it into prey not far away. In an instant, the man and the deer looked at each other, and time seemed to freeze at this moment. There was an indescribable tension in the air.

Facing the deer's sharp, warning gaze, He Yuzhu's hands began to tremble slightly uncontrollably, and even his breathing became a little rapid and disordered. It felt like a fire was burning in his chest, making it almost impossible for him to stay calm. He was secretly annoyed in his heart. He had aimed so well, why did he get nervous at this moment?

"Bang!" Finally, a clear and loud gunshot broke the silence of the valley where only the gurgling of the stream could be heard. The surrounding air seemed to be shaken by the loud noise, and the leaves rustled, as if even nature was trembling at this thrilling moment. Unfortunately, however, the gunshot did not hit the target as expected, but only startled a few innocent birds resting on the branches nearby. They flapped their wings, screamed and flew into the sky, leaving behind a series of terrified chirps that echoed in the valley.

The frightened deer turned around like a flash of black lightning, spread its four hooves, and ran towards the depths of the dense forest at an astonishing speed. Its figure quickly shuttled between the shadows of the trees and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye, leaving behind only a piece of trampled and messy grass and two hunters standing there with annoyance and unwillingness on their faces.

"Oh no, why did I miss again!" Madaha's face was full of regret. He slapped his big head hard and kept muttering. His voice was full of self-blame and helplessness: "I'm such an idiot. I missed at such a close distance! My luck is too bad!" He looked like a primary school student who did something wrong and was severely criticized by the teacher, helpless and frustrated.

He Yuzhu who was standing by looked at Ma Daha's embarrassment. Although he also felt very frustrated and disappointed, he still forced himself to cheer up and comforted him softly: "Don't be discouraged, let's try again, maybe we can hit the target with the next shot. After all, hunting sometimes requires a little luck and patience." However, having said that, he himself was actually lacking in confidence, and there was a barely perceptible tremor in his voice.

He slowly put down the heavy hunting rifle in his hand, as if he had given up all his hopes and expectations. Then, he sat down on the cold and wet ground, like a deflated ball, lifeless. He looked down at the grass under his feet, his eyes empty and confused, his heart full of doubts about himself and uncertainty about the future.

Recalling the experience of the whole day, He Yuzhu felt that his heart was filled with unspeakable bitterness and helplessness. From the early morning, when the first ray of sunlight just peeked out of the horizon and gently sprinkled on the lush forest, they stepped into this natural area full of unknowns and challenges with full confidence and vigor, and their hearts were full of desire and expectation for hunting success. They fantasized about being able to show their skills in this vast forest, return with a full load, and make their family and friends proud of them.

However, reality is always so cruel and merciless. After a long and arduous wait, they not only failed to capture any prey as they wished, but also missed opportunities again and again, letting those prey that seemed to be within their grasp escape from their eyes. Every failure is like a sharp knife, deeply hurting their hearts, and gradually wearing away their confidence and enthusiasm.

At this moment, He Yuzhu's heart was already filled with deep self-blame and frustration. He seemed to be trapped in a dark vortex and couldn't extricate himself. He began to doubt whether he was really capable of completing this hunting mission, and whether his determination and courage to participate in it was the right choice. He felt unprecedentedly confused and puzzled, not knowing where the road ahead was.

However, at this moment, a sudden thought broke through the haze in He Yuzhu's heart like a flash of lightning, and his eyes lit up instantly. He realized that the so-called first-class hunting skills and full of confidence, when faced with the challenge of reality, the performance was just like this! Looking at his dejected look now, it was no different from himself, a novice who tried hunting for the first time and had no experience. This discovery made He Yuzhu feel a little better, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. After all, in this day full of setbacks and failures, it is much better to have someone accompany you to suffer bad luck and bear the pain of failure together than to face it alone, right?

Although the bitterness and helplessness in his heart have not completely dissipated, He Yuzhu has begun to try to adjust his mentality. He told himself that failure is not terrible, but the terrible thing is to lose confidence and courage. As long as he does not give up, does not get discouraged, and continues to study and try hard, he will have his own success and victory one day.
