Chapter 62: The Deer Hunting Girl and the Winter Hot Springs

The next morning, Yang Jinglin gathered the young and strong labor force in the village early in the morning, but due to the loss just now, not many people were willing to go out hunting again this time, not to mention that the temperature had plummeted in recent days, the sky was getting more and more gloomy, and the snowstorm was coming, and no one wanted to risk their lives.

There is only one day left before the deadline for paying food, and the huge gap really makes Yang Jinglin have no countermeasures.

The men chose to escape, while the women chose to blame, and everything finally returned to Yang Jinglin, and all the root causes became that he let in those soldiers wearing black hats.

At this time, the villagers, who usually don't treat each other well, have become the most united and intimate partners in a blink of an eye.

When people are weak and helpless, they will choose to live in a group, and if they can't do good, they will go to extreme evil. The weak, as long as they survive.

In the end, the crowd dispersed unhappily, except for a few orphans in the village, no one was willing to follow Yang Jinglin out hunting, as for the food gap that could not be filled, the villagers agreed that the culprit was the former sheriff, and if they couldn't pay it on time, they would replace it with Yang Siya, anyway, it was not the first time for their family.

Even if Yang Jinglin was unwilling, they would forcibly send Yang Siya to the black hat.

There is no rule of law, only power gives birth to this extreme evil, these people have long been without moral constraints, and their conscience is far less important than living.

Yang Siya looked at the crowd in the distance with resentment, those villagers who could still talk and laugh with her on weekdays have now become terrifying demons, she knows that it is these demons who have annihilated humanity that sent her mother to the execution ground.

Chen Lingfeng looked at the girl beside him, and a burst of pity rose in his heart.

Yang Jinglin's face didn't have any waves, it seemed that he had long been accustomed to this kind of indifference, he just shook his head calmly, distributed the weapons and equipment to the remaining orphans, and told them to pay attention to safety when they go out hunting, and try not to enter the forest.

Ning Yu also arranged for Razor to go on the road with them to protect the safety of those orphans.

"Thank you for your willingness to help, and we'll talk about the rest when we get back from the hunt." Yang Jinglin nodded at Ning Yu and thanked the Firefly Team for their help.

"What do we need to do next?" Ning Yu said as he looked at the remaining weapons and equipment on the ground.

"It's not enough to rely on those children, we also have to participate in the hunt, and we have to trouble you to send some more people." Yang Jinglin held a set of delicate bows and arrows in his hand.

"This is easy to do, these two children will be all the way, let's be the three queens." Fox Huo took the bow and arrow and put it directly on Chen Lingfeng's neck.

"Why ......" Before Chen Lingfeng finished speaking, the fox fire covered his mouth.

"Are you a wooden fish head? Sister, I can see that girl is interested in you, this is an opportunity for you. Do you want to hunt with your sister? Then it won't be a hunting animal. Fox Huo said in Chen Lingfeng's ear with a wicked smile, and the warm breath blew Chen Lingfeng's ears itching.

Chen Lingfeng also sighed, wherever there is a fox fire, no matter how cruel the reality is, she can always feel vitality and warmth.

"Why did you let the two of them go together?" Ning Yu also asked woodenly.

"I said, captain, you're not young either, don't you understand this? Oh, I forgot you don't have experience with this. Fox Fire turned to Ning Yu's side again and said in a mocking tone.

"What do you mean by that?" Ning Yu immediately darkened his face and pulled up his fist.

"Ann, Ann, just kidding. Siya has no opinion. Foxfire immediately changed the topic, ran to Yang Siya's side, and winked at her.

"I... I'm okay, Dad, you're in charge of collecting the prey in the back. Yang Siya iced her hot cheeks with her hands.

"It's good that if no one collects the prey, it will soon become food for other predators." Yang Jinglin thought for a while and agreed with Yang Siya's opinion, and then he handed a delicate bone whistle to Chen Lingfeng.

"It's a bone whistle made from the spine of an Arctic wolf, and its whistle can travel far away, and if you blow it in an emergency, we'll come to your aid." After Yang Jinglin finished speaking, he also picked up his bow and arrows, and the group stepped on the vast snowfield again.

There were no words all the way, and soon Chen Lingfeng and Yang Siya marched to a snow-covered shrub from the area. It's a frequented spot for local deer, especially on days like this when a snowstorm is approaching, and the deer are out and foraging for a lot of food, making it a great opportunity for them to hunt.

Yang Siya jumped in front of her to lead the way, looking extremely lively along the way, constantly telling Chen Lingfeng everything about the snow field, about the village, and hunting animals, as if she was forced to stuff this white world into Chen Lingfeng's mind.

Chen Lingfeng felt Yang Siya's different emotions for him, and in a trance he remembered the warm hug last night, but his heart could only pretend to be the next person, which was the girl who had really shared the hardships with him.

"Ling Feng, look, there's the mark of a deer's hoof." Yang Siya's shout pulled him back to reality.

Chen Lingfeng walked forward quickly, leaving a string of neat hoof prints on the snow-covered soil.

Yang Siya put her slender fingers to her lips and made a silent gesture to Chen Lingfeng, signaling to quietly follow her.

The two followed the hoof prints, and it wasn't long before they spotted an adult moose among the bushes not far away, with huge antlers growing like umbrella covers on its head.

Yang Siya skillfully lowered her body and approached, held the wooden longbow in her hand, and pulled out an arrow with feathers embedded in the quiver behind her. The arrowhead part is specially treated, and the small barbs increase the destructive power of the arrow, which is difficult to fall off once it burrows into the animal's body, and will continue to cause damage to the prey.

Yang Siya pulled the bowstring and held her breath to aim.

The "whoosh" arrow came out of the string and sank into the side of the moose's neck after a short flight.

The pain in his neck was instantaneous, the frightened moose kept roaring, the blood splattered from the neck, and the arrows showed that they had penetrated its arteries.

Immediately after that, Yang Siya stood up and took a few steps closer, bent her bow and arrows, and soon three arrows shot out, hitting the vital parts of the moose one by one, and the huge creature fell into the snow and stopped breathing.

"How's that going, I'm amazing, right?" Yang Siya stroked the long hair in her ears, with an innocent smile on her face, which looked particularly cute.

"I didn't expect you to be so good at archery." Chen Lingfeng walked up to the carcass of a moose, it was the first time he had seen such a large wild animal.

"Hee-hee." Yang Siya proudly walked to Chen Lingfeng's side with her hands behind her back.

"Ling Feng, look over there!" Suddenly, she pointed into the distance and cheered happily.

Chen Lingfeng raised his head, and in the open area with sparse bushes in the distance, some mist-like white gas was coming out.

"Hot springs, that's hot springs!" Yang Siya didn't wait for Chen Lingfeng to answer, she took his hand and ran in the direction of the hot spring.
