"Don't worry, I will slowly adjust my mood. The main reason is that the incident happened too suddenly and I was not mentally prepared at all." Old man Wu turned his back and wiped the tears from his face.

"Life has to go on. If you relax, your sister-in-law will feel better too. I see her hair has turned white, and I believe she is as sad as you are."

"As the backbone of the family, men have to stand up at all times," said Yun the butcher frankly.

"Brother Yun, you are right. Give me some time, I will get through this." Old Man Wu patted Yun the Butcher on the shoulder.

"Yiyi, you're awake now. Why don't you sleep a little longer?"

"Dad, I'm not sleepy anymore. It's more interesting to come down and take a walk." Yun Yiyi turned to look at Old Man Wu.

"Grandpa Wu, does your family often go hunting in the mountains? Are there many wild animals in the mountains?"

Old man Wu looked at Yun Yiyi who was full of curiosity and he laughed.

"Yiyi, what do you think about hunting? My family is a hunter, and we basically make a living by hunting. We don't have much land because we don't need to grow food. We buy the food we eat at the grain store in town."

"Of the four seasons of the year, autumn is the most popular time to go into the mountains for hunting. In spring, the wild animals in the mountains need to reproduce. Therefore, spring is the least popular time to go into the mountains."

"In the summer, we don't go into the mountains very often. It's not that there aren't many wild animals in the summer, but because there's too much rain in the summer. If we want to hunt big game, we usually have to stay in the mountains for several days. Once it rains in the summer, wild animals don't like to come out. Besides, when it rains, if there's thunder and lightning, it's not safe to stay in the woods."

"Autumn is our favorite season for hunters. Wild animals grow fatter in autumn. There is also more food in the mountains, and wild animals like to come out and roam. It is easier for us to find wild animals."

"Besides, the weather in autumn is also good. The temperature is not as high as in summer, and there is not as much rain as in summer. It is more comfortable for us to stay in the forest. Autumn is when we harvest the most."

"It snows a lot in winter. It's okay to stay in the mountains for a day occasionally. If you stay in the mountains for a long time, you will easily get cold. Also, there are fewer wild animals in the mountains in winter. But the ones we encountered were all ferocious, such as wolves, tigers, bears and the like."

"Whenever they encounter one, they will basically get hurt. It's also because winter has arrived and they rarely come out for food. When they come out, they are looking for food, so their temperaments are more ferocious. They will also attack people when they meet them."

"Grandpa Wu, I always thought that winter is the best time to catch wild animals. It snows in winter, and the animals in the mountains run slower, so it should be easier to hunt." Yun Yiyi asked puzzled.

Old Man Wu touched Yun Yiyi's hair and slowly explained to her.

"Although winter limits the speed of animals, many animals in the mountains will prepare food for the winter in advance. Only those animals that have no food will come out."

"Especially meat-eating wolves and tigers. It's hard for them to have enough food in winter. Hungry animals are also the most violent. We generally don't want to run into them. If we do run into them, it's too easy to get hurt."

"However, there is one animal that is easier to catch in winter. That is the rabbit. After the snow falls, set a trap near the rabbit's nest in advance. If you go there the next day, you can basically catch a rabbit."

"Wow, Grandpa Wu, it would be so fun for you to go hunting in the mountains." Yun Yiyi said longingly.

"Haha, silly kid. Don't be envious of this. You see, when we go into the mountains in the summer, it's especially easy to encounter snakes. If it's a non-venomous one, it's okay. But if it's a poisonous one and it bites you, do you think it's dangerous?"

"If you accidentally run into a blind bear when you go into the mountains in winter, it can slap you several meters away."

"If you are lucky enough to encounter a lone wolf, it will be easier to kill it. If you are unlucky and encounter a pack of wolves, it may take you several days and nights."

"So, every time we go into the mountains, we know there are tigers there, but we still go there. Otherwise, if everyone knows there are wild animals in the mountains, why are there so few hunters in each village?"

"That's true. Especially every summer, there are villagers who are bitten by snakes. It's not easy to be a hunter." Yun the Butcher sighed.

"Grandpa Wu, did your family have a big harvest? Can it support the family?"

"Haha, you little clever guy, you hit the nail on the head. My family makes a living by hunting." After saying this, Old Man Wu looked down at Yun Yiyi.

Yun Yiyi thought about it for a moment, and she said with sudden enlightenment: "Grandpa Wu, I understand. Your family must be a big name when it comes to hunting."

"Yes, you are right. My family is a hereditary hunter family. So, when it comes to hunting, we have many ancestral methods. These methods cannot be learned outside. They are the experience summed up by my parents from long-term hunting." Old Man Wu said proudly.

"Brother Wu, hunting is a very difficult thing to learn without someone to guide you. Once you enter the mountains, it's very easy to get into trouble if you don't have the skills." Yun the Butcher said with deep emotion.

Every autumn, some young people from Yunjia Village would sneak into the mountains without telling their elders. If they went to the outskirts, they could catch some small prey like rabbits.

If a few young people are brave enough to venture into the mountains, it is considered a good result if they can escape unscathed. If they are unlucky, they may encounter tigers or wolves, and some may get injured or die. If the villagers come to look for them early, they can basically return safely.

Every autumn, the village chief repeatedly emphasizes that young people in the village should not go to the mountains. There are many dangers in the mountains. However, there are many brave young people. Because of this, the village chief's hair is almost white. It is only because of the drought in the past two years that there are fewer wild animals in the mountains and there are not so many dangers in the mountains that the village chief no longer prohibits young people from going up the mountains.

"This happens every year in our village. Some people in the village are so shameless that they come to my house and ask me to take their children hunting."

"I told them that as long as they were not worried about their children getting hurt or being bitten or killed by prey in the mountains, I would take their children with me."

"They don't think about it. If hunting is so easy, everyone will go hunting. Who would be willing to farm? If everyone can easily catch prey, the price of prey will not be so high."

"The villagers were not convinced and said that I was not sincere in taking care of their children. But they didn't think seriously that these were the skills I used to earn a living and support my family. Why should I give them for free?"
