Siheyuan: Big City, Small Love

Chapter 337 Snake

In this way, He Lai led the rest of the people to continue looking for prey.

During the next few shooting sessions, He Lai and Widow Dong instructed him on the essentials of shooting, just like how Grandpa Zhou had called him in the beginning.

Widow Dong finally shot a big goose on the third try, which made everyone very happy. However, Sha Zhu was still anxious and ran over as if he was familiar with the route.

Because I had a lot of experience, there were no accidents and I successfully got the goose back.

"How about it, Aunt Dong, four bullets for a goose is not a bad deal, right?"

He Lai joked with a smile.

"Not a loss, not a loss. Now there's meat." Widow Dong was extremely happy looking at the big goose in Sha Zhu's hand.

"Let's go to the front and let Brother Zhuzi handle it here. He will catch up later."

He Lai didn't want to waste any more time. It took him more than half an hour to catch one, which was too slow.

In the subsequent hunting trips, He Lai and Widow Dong chose to shoot at the same time. If there were multiple prey, they would shoot separately, and if there was only one prey, they would shoot together to ensure that the prey would not be missed.

Soon more than two hours passed, and He Lai and his companions had finished visiting the entire area and harvested sixteen big birds.

"Okay, let's go back and see if Sister-in-law Jia has any harvest! And have something to eat together."

He Lai suggested this, and Sha Zhu and the others naturally had no objection. After all, Xu Damao and Sha Zhu's shoes and other things were wet, and they needed to rest.

Soon they arrived at the starting place and found that Yu Shui was standing a little far away from Jia's sister-in-law, as if he did not dare to approach her.

"What's wrong with the rain?" He Lai asked curiously.

"Brother Lai, Sister-in-law of the Jia family caught a big snake. I was scared to death." Yu Shui immediately hid behind He Lai and said timidly.

"What, a snake! Let me go and take a look." Upon hearing this, Sha Zhu immediately ran towards Zhang Guihua.

"Wow, such a big yellow pine! Sister-in-law Jia is really good!"

Sha Zhu saw the snake in Jia's sister-in-law's hand and said with a smile.

The ponderosa is a medium to large non-venomous snake that can be more than two meters long.

"When I was looking for wild duck eggs, I happened to see it swallowing duck eggs. Since it wasn't poisonous, I caught it."

Zhang Guihua obviously also knew this kind of snake and explained with a smile.

He Lai and a few others also came to the sister-in-law of the Jia family, and they sighed when they saw the big snake.

"Xiao Laizi, why don't you trade her a goose? I haven't had snake soup for a long time."

Sha Zhu discussed.

"Okay, whatever you say." He Lai had no objection. He had never eaten snake soup before.

"Sister-in-law of the Jia family, do you want to trade? I'll trade you a big goose!"

When Sha Zhu saw that He Lai agreed, he immediately took out a goose and asked Zhang Guihua to exchange it.

"Okay, I'll give you ten more wild duck eggs. I picked up a lot."

When Jia's sister-in-law heard this, she became even happier and immediately handed the snake to Sha Zhu.

Who would eat snakes when there are geese? This snake weighs only three kilograms at most, and the goose weighs at least seven or eight kilograms.

Sha Zhu went to clean up the snake happily, and Zhang Guihua also packed up her things happily.

He Lai saw that Zhang Guihua's pants were covered in mud and her head was covered in sweat. It was obvious that she had suffered a lot.

"Sister-in-law Jia, you'd better go to the river and wash yourself." He Lai said with reluctance.

"Oh, okay." After being happy, Zhang Guihua also noticed the mud on her body. She agreed and went to the river to wash.

Several people took out the prepared food and started eating it by the river. The overall harvest was good.

He Lai and his companions each got four big birds, and Zhang Guihua also harvested more than forty wild duck eggs and a goose.

He Lai was eating while thinking about whether he should get some animals out. There were many birds in his space, five cows, eight deer, eleven roe deer, and of course the most numerous wild boars.

Forget about birds, as they will probably fly away once they are released, and cows are too big! Deer are a bit more valuable, as the antlers of male deer are very much needed, and female deer are needed for reproduction, so it seems that we can only release silly roe deer or wild boars.

Finally, He Lai decided to release the wild boar. After all, it would be difficult for the silly roe deer to survive if it was released. With its silly personality, it would probably dare to walk into the muzzle of the gun if a hunter came.

"I'm going to the bathroom." He Lai said, and ran to a place a few hundred meters away. After looking around to see if there was anyone around, he put some sweet potatoes and potatoes aside, and then released ten wild boars, three big and seven small.

The wild boars that had just been released were all confused, but when they saw the food on the ground, they started eating it without thinking twice.

He Lai quietly returned to the team and waited until the wild boars had finished eating all the food.

"Xiao Laizi, do you have diarrhea? You've been gone for so long!" Sha Zhu asked immediately.

He Lai looked at everyone's gazes, feeling a little panicked, but still pretending to be calm and answered: "Yes, maybe I had a stomachache after eating out yesterday. Sit for a while, and we'll go check later to see if there is anything we can find."

"Haha, I was wondering why you suddenly disappeared. It turns out you had diarrhea. But your reaction is too slow. You had a stomachache yesterday, but you only reacted today."

When Sha Zhu heard this, he couldn't help laughing out loud and teased.

He Lai nodded helplessly. He knew his explanation was a bit far-fetched, but there was nothing he could do. After all, he couldn't tell them that he had just gone to release wild boars.

At this time, Xu Damao said dissatisfiedly: "He Yuzhu, can you stop talking so much? We just finished our meal! Can you stop talking about this!"

After hearing this, Sha Zhu immediately retorted: "Hey, Xu Damao, I'm not talking to you, why are you butting in?"

The two started arguing again, and others saw this and tried to stop them.

He Lai sat aside, watching them quarrel quietly, secretly thanking his luck that he was not discovered.

"Alright, alright, you two, can't you just be quiet? You always quarrel over everything. Since you're so energetic, let's go."

He thinks it’s almost time, don’t let the wild boar run away, otherwise it will be a waste!

"Okay, let's go, maybe we can catch a dozen this afternoon."

Sha Zhu immediately stood up and agreed.

The others had no objection and stood up one after another.

In this way, everyone, led by He Lai, walked towards the wild boar.

The wild boars had finished eating and were getting familiar with the environment not far away.

Soon Sha Zhu discovered the group of wild boars, and immediately patted He Lai on the shoulder, motioning him to look ahead.

"Shh!" He Lai immediately made a silent gesture, took out his gun and put it on Sha Zhu's shoulder, then signaled Widow Dong with his eyes to do the same.

Widow Dong understood what He Lai meant, and she loaded the bullet and put it on Xu Damao's shoulder.

As He Lai counted down with his hand gesture, the two of them fired at the same time!

He Lai hit a wild boar directly on the head, while Widow Dong's bullet flew past the scalp of another wild boar.

"Go on, aim at the little wild boar!" He Lai said as he fired another shot, hitting a fleeing little wild boar!

Widow Dong felt a little disappointed when she saw that she failed to kill the big wild boar, but she quickly loaded the bullet and aimed at a small wild boar. Fortunately, this time she hit the small wild boar's belly.

After two shots, the wild boars had already fled very far away.
