The hunter had instructed him to tell this version to those who asked him where he learned the skills. He was asked not to say anything more than that.

“Oh, what a pity!’

Yuezheng Xiao and Xie Jingrong did not dwell on the matter any longer when they heard that he had learned it from an experienced hunter. They even believed that they had been mistaken.

They were not very professional people, and they might have been mistaken about Shao Xiaoqi.

But one thing was for sure. Shao Xiaoqi would have a promising future if he joined the army.

Shao Yunduan smiled. “Qi is still too young to leave home. If we can support ourselves at home, our parents would not let him join the army.”

Yuezheng Xiao smiled. “Yes, that makes sense!”

Xie Jingrong nodded and added. “If you ever change your mind one day, you can tell me about it.”

The Xie Family had no direct contacts in the military, but it was easy for them

to help Shao Xiaoqi.

Shao Yunduan thanked Xie Jingrong sincerely. “Thank you so much, Brother

“You are welcome!”

With a lot of load on their shoulders, they finally decided to head home.

They ran into a patch of wild lilies, so they paused to dig some.

Lilies could be first steamed and sun-dried, then dried and put away, to add to soup, porridge, and even in boiled sugar water. They could also be ground into powder and added to cakes.

Fresh lilies were delicious whether they were fried or woked with beef.

They looked like snowflakes of petals, extremely beautiful.

After they went back home, they sorted and processed the goods.

The whole family was used to this kind of work, so everything was settled quickly.

They had many hunted animals at home, including 12 roosters, 6 wild rabbits as well as some other small birds.

Autumn muntjacs were extraordinarily plump, and so was this one. The fur was shiny, and the meat was firm and tender at first glance. It weighed about

The second and third section of the family were all here to check out the spoils from the mountains, so they had to share some with them. They could not put away the meat because it would get rotten, and the villagers would not spend money in buying these animals unless it was for New Year, even though they were sold at a low price.

Ms. Fang gave two roosters and one rabbit to each section of the family.

She even shared 2.5 to 3 kgs meat of muntjacs with them as well.

Ms. Niu did not expect that the two young masters were here again. She regretted deeply inside her heart and kept complaining about Shao Sanlang and Qi. “You went hunting in the mountains? Why didn’t you take your Second Cousin and Fourth Cousin as well as Meiling with you? They could have contributed to your hunt! The two young masters would not have been to mountains before and they needed to be taken care of.”

She saved some of her face by avoiding saying directly that Shao Meiling would have taken care of them.

She was trying to flatter Yuezheng Xiao and Xie Jingrong, and her eyes were rolling and glancing at them as she talked. But neither of them spoke to her.

Ms. Fang added. “They just took a walk around in the mountains. What was the point of bringing so many people alongside? That would only lead to trouble!”

“That is not true, the two young masters are from the city and they are not born like us rural people. They can’t stand the pain, right? We could have taken good care of them!”

Ms. Niu was still staring at the two young masters.

But neither of them turned their heads to look at her.

Ms. Fang got so annoyed with her embarra.s.sing behavior that she drove her out and said, “It is getting late, Second Sister-in-law. How about going home to make dinner? The meat is fresh and needs to be cooked well..
