"What are you all laughing at?" Chiang Xiao pridefully lifted her chin, "Although I feel a bit sorry for this partridge, I did catch one! Uncle Grandfather, quickly see if you caught any!"
What she didn’t say was that she had also collected three into her Space! Now those three partridges were directly locked up in a bamboo cage that appeared out of nowhere, placed right in the pheasant pen. Initially, Chiang Xiao was a bit worried they would peck at her Ginseng once in the Space, but to her surprise, the Space was so awesomely powerful that it could instantly create enclosures and cages for wild animals!
It’s just beyond praise!
Ge Dejun was quite proud, "Uncle Grandfather certainly caught some! Let me see how many!"
He carefully lifted the lid of the bamboo basket, reached in to feel around, and suddenly was overjoyed, "Two!"
Xu Linjiang couldn’t help but shout, "Look at mine too! Also two!"
Chiang Xiao’s eyes widened, "That’s more than me!"
Xu Linjiang said with a smile, "Right, and the ones we caught are all alive, your one, you squashed it to death."
Chiang Xiao stomped her foot, "Uncle!"
Would this become her scandal in the future? Chiang Xiao squashed a poor partridge to death!
All three were so happy they couldn’t contain themselves, binding the partridges with straw rope, five together, feeling like they could exchange them for quite a bit of money! It was then that Xu Linjiang saw there were even more catches beside them! There were tied up pheasants and hares!
"Little, Little Little? You caught these?"
Xu Linjiang stuttered in surprise.
No way! Three hares and two pheasants?
Ge Dejun also widened his eyes, repeating Xu Linjiang’s words in a daze, "You caught these?"
Chiang Xiao nodded her head, touching her chin, "As you saw just now, these little things are especially stupid! They even ran out in droves! So I just caught them like that!"
But how can you not believe it?
They had indeed witnessed a large flock of partridges themselves not long ago, which indeed didn’t respond very quickly, didn’t the three of them manage to catch five after all?
In the end, a bewildered Ge Dejun and Xu Linjiang listened to Chiang Xiao’s bluster and tall tales.
"I guess I have to thank Bai Gu Mountain for being uninhabited for so long, so the animals claimed the mountain as their own. There’s plenty of food, and the living environment is exceptionally good, making them breed vigorously. The more they reproduced, the more it led to the current situation where the game is running all over the mountain in groups. Plus, since no one has ever come here to hunt, they lack any experience as prey and have no sense of safety! They can’t detect danger at all, which makes it very easy for us to catch them!"
Ge Dejun and Xu Linjiang exchanged glances.
Why did her explanation, upon listening to it haphazardly, seem quite reasonable?
Chiang Xiao was holding back laughter, almost tying her intestines in knots.
How did she find tricking honest people so amusing?
At that moment, she suddenly smelled something burning. "Oh no! Our lunch!"
The three of them immediately ran toward the clay stove.
In the end, all three, each holding a lunchbox with slightly burnt rice, laughed like fools. The mountain rat, cooked in a little iron pot with wood ear mushrooms, turned out to be extremely delicious.
Chiang Xiao originally didn’t dare to eat it, but in the end, she couldn’t resist the delicious aroma, took a small piece to eat, and after that small bite, she instantly threw away any concerns about what the creature was.
Delicious, too delicious!
"I think at this rate, I’ll gain weight pretty quickly!" After the meal, Chiang Xiao touched her little stomach and said, utterly content.
Of course, she needed to put on some weight to be considered normal, as she was way too thin now.
Xu Linjiang said, "You do need to gain some flesh."
