Siheyuan: Big City, Small Love

Chapter 500 Deep Mountain

"You are such a smart kid. All right, all right. It's up to you. You can go to grandpa's place. Your grandpa and his family must be having a hard time. You can go and help them improve their lives."

When Wu Juan heard He say that he was going to Hejia Village to hunt, she said helplessly.

"Don't worry, mother. Xiaohu and the others will go together. With the golden eagle here, it won't be too difficult."

He Lai explained.

"Kid, you didn't even bring the golden eagle back, and you still feel guilty for not seeing the rain!" Wu Juan said.

"Oh, mother, we won't take the golden eagle back, so that those people won't always want to take the golden eagle. My son is also annoyed by them, and they ask me to take them hunting every day."

He Lai explained.

"That's right. Mom doesn't want you to go out with them. So I'll help you pack your things. I also have several quilts prepared. You can help me bring them to grandpa and grandpa." Wu Juan said.

"Okay, Mom, you do it. I can bring back as many things as I want. I came here in a truck."

He Lai said.

Wu Juan glanced at Bai Helai without saying anything and went into the house to pack her things.

……

When He Lai drove his truck to Hejia Village, the children all gathered around him.

"Brother Lai, are you here to catch wild boars again?" a child asked happily.

"Haha, yes, I'll catch more this time so you can all have some."

He Lai said with a smile.

"Oh... Come on, brother, let's hunt wild boars. Come on, brother, let's hunt wild boars!" A group of children cheered and ran towards the village.

Soon, Mr. He and his group came over.

"Hey, Xiao Laizi, why did you drive the factory truck here again?"

Mr. He asked.

"Hey, this is convenient. Grandpa, Mom brought you some things. They are all in the car. I'll get them for you."

He Lai opened the car door, jumped out and entered the car.

Soon, Mr. He and his companions were holding bedding and food in their hands, while He Lai was holding his own luggage.

"Hey, Xiao Laizi, are you planning to live with grandpa? Why do you bring so many things?" asked Grandpa He.

"Yes, I will wait until the New Year to go back, and I will stay with grandpa during this period."

He Lai said.

"Okay, okay, let's go home, go home." When Mr. He heard that He Lai was going to stay until the New Year, he was so happy that he went back with his bedding, fearing that He Lai would change his mind.

Soon, Old Mrs. He helped He Lai clean up the house, and the whole family sat by the fire in the big house.

Grandpa He and his companions also knew why He Lai came down. Hunting in the middle of winter was a bit unreliable.

"Xiao Laizi, are you sure you want to do it? This cold weather is no joke. There is snow everywhere in the mountains."

Mr. He asked.

"Grandpa, don't worry, I'm stable! I'll find a good way to go. I have a golden eagle, so I'll be fine."

He Lai smiled.

"You have to be careful. I'll ask your uncle, second uncle and Xiaohu to follow you with shotguns."

Mr. He said.

"No problem." He Lai agreed with a smile. Anyway, the first day was just to go into the mountains to observe and see where it was suitable to put up the iron fence.

……

The next day, He Lai and his companions came to the edge of the mountains.

"Xiao Laizi, are there really prey in this winter? Are they all hiding?"

Uncle He Zhong asked.

"Of course he hid, but there are always exceptions. It's okay. Let's get familiar with the terrain first. There are golden eagles here, so it won't be a waste of time. See, I brought paper and pen. I will draw the route we take later."

He Lai said with a smile, shaking the paper and pen in his hand.

"Hey, Xiao Laizi, you are awesome for being a good student. Xiao Hu, look at me, I told you to study more! But you just play all day long, and now you can only use a hoe!"

He Zhong patted Xiaohu on the head as he spoke. Xiaohu just smiled and didn't respond.

"Okay, uncle, let's go quickly, it will be bad if it snows soon." He Lai reminded.

"Yes, yes, let's go quickly before it snows. We can keep our footprints and avoid getting lost."

As He Zhong spoke, he took the lead and walked into the mountains. After all, he often followed the villagers into the mountains and was relatively familiar with the terrain here.

While walking, the golden eagle also discovered a few hares, and immediately flew over and began hunting.

On the snowy ground, everything was white and the hare had nowhere to run. It was caught by the golden eagle in a few seconds.

"Hey, Xiao Laizi, your two eagles are amazing! You caught two in such a short time." He Zhong said with a smile as he held the hare.

"Uncle, let's go to the top of that hill and have a look. It's not too steep and should be easy to climb. Let's stand on a high place and have a look. We can also let the golden eagle fly around and see where the prey is."

He Lai did not respond to He Zhong's words, but instead pointed to a small hill and said.

"Okay, okay, okay. I'll listen to you. Let's go up the mountain!" He Zhong agreed and walked forward.

Second uncle He Xin never said a word, just smiled foolishly, he was undoubtedly a taciturn person.

……

Soon, under the leadership of He Zhong, several people arrived at the top of the hill.

"Okay, I'll release the golden eagle. All we have to do is watch it."

After He finished speaking, he threw the two golden eagles into the air.

The two golden eagles began their mission, patrolling the mountains.

Because the golden eagle flies at high altitude, almost all the prey except those in the cave are exposed to the golden eagle's field of vision.

He Lai's main purpose was to see if there was any place around that was suitable for placing an iron fence. After all, this thing still had to be used.

"Dad, second uncle, look, the golden eagle is descending and circling over there." Xiaohu said, pointing at the direction where the golden eagle was flying.

"Yeah, but it seems a bit far away!" He Zhong nodded and said.

"It's not far. I estimate it's about two kilometers. Let's load our bullets first and then go over and see what it is."

He looked over, took a quick look, and said.

"Okay, I'll do as you say! Let's go over there, Xiaohu, second brother, let's load the bullets first."

He Zhong and his men all had hunting rifles without safety. In order to avoid accidents, they would only load bullets when they were needed.

Xiaohu and his companion immediately did as they were told. After all, they didn't know what prey the golden eagle had discovered.

After loading the bullets, everyone set off and walked towards the golden eagle.

Normally it would take more than twenty minutes to walk two kilometers, but it took He Lai and his team more than an hour. There was no other way. The road was difficult to walk on in the deep snowy mountains, so they had to be careful.

Finally arriving not far below the golden eagle, He Lai looked ahead carefully.

Sure enough, there was a group of wild boars gathered together, huddling for warmth.

"Uncle, do you see that dark mass over there? It must be a wild boar."

He Lai patted He Zhong on the shoulder and pointed to the front.

"Where is it?" He Zhong might be too old to see clearly.

"Dad, they are hiding there. There seem to be a lot of them!" Xiaohu followed the direction of He Lai and also found wild boars.

He Zhong rubbed his eyes, looked carefully, and found wild boars, so he said: "What should we do now? There are so many wild boars, we can't kill them all!"

There are at least ten big wild boars in this den, all gathered around the periphery. The ones inside should be all small ones.
