Era: After foreseeing the future, I changed my fate using spatial abilities.

Chapter 241 Together

Although they wanted to persuade her to give up this dangerous idea, the three of them from Yanbei were helpless against someone who had made up her mind, and in the end, they could only reluctantly compromise.

Compared to their worries, Su Qingshan, upon learning that Su Ning was going to go with them, didn't have such concerns.

After all, which team's barefoot doctor doesn't go up the mountain to collect herbs?

Being with the group is at least better than being alone, right? It's much safer that way.

Besides, they weren't planning to go too far this time, and they were carrying homemade guns. Unless they were extremely unlucky, wouldn't so many of them be able to protect a girl?
However, to avoid giving others any ideas, Su Qingshan tucked his pipe into his waistband, straightened his old face, and said in a deep voice.

“Ningning going to collect herbs is a serious matter, not just something to do for fun. It's for the sake of our team, so I hope no one has any objections?”

"What could we possibly object to, Captain? Don't worry, we understand. We'll definitely protect Dr. Su!"

"Yes, yes, with so many of us, how could we not protect Dr. Su?"

The crowd responded in unison, but fortunately most of them were reasonable and could distinguish right from wrong, so they had no objections to her being such a clear drag on the team.

Nodding, Su Qingshan glanced at the sky, waved his hand, and shouted, "Then let's set off!"

Forty or fifty people then marched into the mountain in a grand procession.

The mountains are covered in snow, making it difficult to see any vegetation. Only a few patches of green from pines and cypresses can be seen on the peaks.

The snow was loose and hadn't been compacted; in the deepest places, it reached an adult's knees. If you weren't careful, you'd slip and end up like pulling up a radish.

The three from Yanbei tacitly formed a protective circle around her, keeping her in the middle and matching her speed to fall to the back of the group.

Because they had just entered the mountains, there were many of them, and they made a lot of noise.

The big prey won't be encountered for a while, and the small creatures will be scared away by the noise.

So the group, hurrying along, didn't pay much attention to the snow and chatted with their companions to relieve visual fatigue from seeing so much white snow.

"Su Ning, can you really tell which of these withered branches sprouting from the snow are medicinal herbs?"

"..."

She really can't.

Aside from a few very distinctive ones that are still distinguishable, the rest... without experience and theoretical knowledge, how can one not be clueless when trying for the first time?

However, since they had to come along, Suning's main purpose wasn't really to collect a lot of medicinal herbs, so he didn't have much thought about whether they could accurately identify them or how much they could actually collect.

Clearly, she couldn't express the truth in her heart, so she could only give him a knowing glance.

"If I can't, then you can?"

"Hehe, if you can't do it, then I definitely can't either. But it's not like I can't give it a try. What if my eyesight is bad, but my luck is off the charts?"

At this point, Fu Jiaming's eyes lit up, realizing that what he said might be true, and he quickly asked, "What does the kind of medicinal herb you need look like?"

"Shh~"

Zhang Qi, who was walking at the front of the small group, suddenly turned around and made a shushing gesture, his eyes turning to the left.

The bewildered crowd followed his gaze and saw several gray tufts of fur on the snow.

Upon closer inspection, it wasn't a ball of fur, but a rabbit.

Strangely, the gray rabbits were not frightened away by the commotion; instead, they lay dumbfounded at the doorway, refusing to even crawl into the hole they had dug.

Subconsciously reaching down to his neck, a strange look flashed across Su Ning's eyes: he had almost forgotten about this.

However, to avoid predicting the avalanche in the scene, Zi Fei could not take it off, since she had no idea of ​​the exact location of that place.

Since we're here to hunt, then... having a few extra prey shouldn't be a big problem... right?

The three men exchanged glances and immediately reached a consensus. After communicating with simple gestures, they quickly got to work.

They took positions from three directions, slowly surrounding and tightening the encirclement of the gray rabbits, while simultaneously lunging forward with a powerful sprint.

None of the five rabbits escaped; they were all caught and their legs were tied with vines.

"Hahaha, may you open the door and have good fortune!"

"This fur feels really nice; I can make a rabbit fur glove for Ningning."

This was the first time they had participated in a winter hunt so seriously, and they had already caught something not long after entering the mountains. Fu Jiaming was overjoyed, and Yan Bei and Zhang Qi were also extremely excited. "Su Ning, how about that? I'm pretty good, right? I caught two in one go!"

He silently gave him a thumbs up, and as expected, received a silly grin. Su Ning smiled and shook his head, keeping his achievement hidden.

"This rabbit is nothing, this time I'll definitely take down a big one!"

"You're getting cocky now that I'm calling you fat. Don't get too cocky. Hand over these rabbits right now."

Fu Jiaming, who had just made his boastful remarks, didn't care. He took the rabbits they handed him and happily chased after the large group ahead.

Su Qingshan and a few people who were most familiar with the situation in the mountains walked ahead of each other.

Glancing at the few people hanging far behind them, someone couldn't help but ask the question that had been bothering them.

"Captain, why are we letting that guy who's been reformed come with us into the mountains? What if he escapes?"

"You think you're so smart, chattering away like a woman. Do you think the brigade leader doesn't have his own considerations?"

"Hey, I was just asking because I didn't understand, what do you know!"

"Alright, stop arguing. Everyone knows what you're thinking!"

Su Qingshan chuckled softly, his old eyes sharply glancing at the two who were feigning an argument, then sweeping over the crowd who were quietly listening.

"Yan Gong was only transferred down here to receive labor education in a poor and rural area. Don't think he's really going to stay in this corner for the rest of his life. He'll be transferred back after the New Year!"

"Really? Ah, I knew it! Someone as skilled as Yan Gong..."

"Stop being so hindsight. It's easy to add flowers to brocade, but difficult to provide charcoal in the snow. You should be grateful that you didn't kick someone when they were down, let alone offer any help!"

Besides the obvious and subtle hints from the team leader, everyone also remembered and appreciated the help Yan Gong had given to the team before.

They're afraid of getting into trouble, let alone helping others, but they really haven't done anything like bullying or making things difficult for people like other brigades have.

There's no need to worry about being targeted later when fortunes change.

Therefore, upon learning of this, I felt nothing but relief and a sense of accomplishment.

"Uncle Su!"

"Oh, Jiaming, what's wrong?"

Hearing the loud shouts behind them, the crowd, who were about to say something, all fell silent.

Upon hearing this, Su Qingshan quickly turned around. When he saw Fu Jiaming walking through the line and carrying a row of tied-up gray rabbits in his hands, his originally stern face immediately twitched.

"These were arrested by you guys?"

"Yeah, that's right! Four big and one small, hehehe, Uncle Su, please make a note of it for us!"

"You little rascal, you think you can pocket what's yours, huh!"

After jokingly scolding him, Su Qingshan took out his notebook and wrote down the details before letting the person in charge of storing the game take the rabbit.

"These rabbits are quite plump, I must say. A great start, Comrade Fu!"

"With so many of us, we still haven't scared these little things away. It's clear that Xiao Fu and his friends are really lucky. This time, they're going to have a big harvest!"

"Hahahaha!"

"Isn't this great? If we bring back more, we can have a prosperous New Year!"

"Alright, now that we've started, everyone pull yourselves together. Let's not let a few greenhorns take the lead; I can't afford to lose face like that!"

"Haha~ Okay, let's have a competition then!"

The laughter and chatter immediately enlivened the atmosphere, and the men were all eager to show off their best skills.

If we wait until we get down the mountain and only get a participation prize when the game is distributed, that would be so embarrassing that we'd lose everything!

With their morale soaring, the crowd quickened their pace, unconsciously remaining silent as they walked and carefully observed their surroundings.

As if the saying "good start" had been true, after Yanbei and his group caught those rabbits, a number of small creatures kept coming to their door.

Although it's a bit strange, it's all meat, so who has the time to care about what's going on with all these pheasants, rabbits, and roe deer!
Once you've caught the meat that's right in front of your mouth, that's it!
Unbeknownst to the guides, the excited group gradually strayed from their original direction.

Just as I came to my senses and was about to turn back, I inexplicably stumbled into a wild boar's den!
