Beast Taming: I gained the talent of a spirit pet.

Chapter 3: Dig for food! Eat meat! (Please read and save!)
When he arrived at the fields, Gu Yuan did not stop there, but continued walking forward.

Most of the vole holes on the edge of the field have been dug by people. There is little point in digging holes here to find food. It is almost a waste of time.

However, there might be some gains in some remote places far away, such as vole holes and mountain rat nests at the foot of low hills.

As we walked, Ah Huang in my arms squeaked twice, as if to give a warning.

Gu Yuan was stunned for a moment.

He looked back calmly and saw two figures looming behind the bushes a hundred meters away.

"Someone is following me?!"

Gu Yuan's heart sank.

He didn't seem to be showing any signs of abnormality and continued walking forward, but his mind was racing with thoughts:

"These two people, one tall and one short, look familiar. Could they be Sun Er and Dong Gui?"

Gujia Village is named after Gu, but not all the villagers have the surname Gu. There are also many with the surnames Sun and Dong.

Sun Er and Dong Gui were also villagers of Gujia Village, but they often hung out with the ruffians in the town, cheating and deceiving people, bullying men and women, and usually did not do their jobs properly, so they had a bad reputation.

Before he realized the mystery in his womb, Gu Yuan always kept his distance from such people. He had never dealt with them, let alone offended them. His family was so poor that they couldn't even afford to raise mice, so there was nothing worth worrying about.

So why were these two people following me?

"Is it related to Qian Yunjie?"

An idea suddenly appeared in Gu Yuan's mind.

Regardless of whether it has anything to do with Qian Yunjie, at least one thing is certain - these two people definitely have no good intentions!

Thinking of this, Gu Yuan simply walked towards the woods.

The bushes in this forest are dense and easy to hide people.

After entering the dense forest and walking for a while, he bent down and hid behind a bush, while quietly moving to the side.

Not long after, the two people who had been following behind came nearby and looked around:
"Where is he? Why is this guy gone?"

"Did he find out we were following him, so he hid himself?"

"Impossible, we are so far away from each other, and this guy is not born in the Year of the Dog, how could he possibly find us?"

"Brother Gui, what should we do now? Should we stay here and guard?"

"What the hell! It's so cold, are you crazy or am I crazy? Are you waiting here to suffer?"

Dong Gui touched his chin and said, "This kid brought an axe, most likely to chop wood. At worst, we can wait for him to come back and see if he has any firewood. Then, if Steward Wu asks about it, we can have an explanation."

"Come on, let's go back!"

After the two of them walked away, Gu Yuan slowly stood up, his face as gloomy as water.

"Butler Wu is really related to Qian Yunjie! This old man deliberately had people keep an eye on me. It's obvious that he's afraid that I will retaliate and make this matter bigger."

With Dong Gui and Sun Er watching him, if he really made any move, Butler Wu would definitely get the news immediately and respond. Under normal circumstances, Gu Yuan would not be able to make any waves at all.

Gu Yuan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled:
"Should I say at this point: 'Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west; don't despise the young and poor?'"

No matter what, Qian Yunjie almost killed him, causing the family to lose all their savings and food. If anything unexpected happened, they would not be able to survive the winter.

Afterwards, Butler Wu came to his house again to threaten his parents, and now he has sent people to monitor him. Gu Yuan has made note of this.

After making sure that no one was around, Gu Yuan asked Ah Huang to look for vole holes and other mountain rat nests. When they found a vole hole, Gu Yuan asked Ah Huang to go in and see if there was any food.

If nothing is found, move on to the next vole hole.

They searched three vole holes in a row until the fourth one. Ah Huang, who had crawled into the hole, sent feedback through the mysterious connection with Gu Yuan.

"There's something!"

Gu Yuan was cheered up and determined the direction based on Ah Huang. After it came out, he started digging with a hatchet as a shovel.

After a long while, Gu Yuan was so tired that sweat appeared on his forehead. His still weak body felt powerless and he kept gasping for breath. The bowl of porridge he drank in the morning had probably been digested completely.

But the results were quite good, a pit half a meter deep was dug.

At the bottom of the pit, there are piles of grains, such as rice, soybeans, peanuts, etc.

Gu Yuan swiftly took out a cloth bag from his arms, picked up the grains carefully and put them into the bag, not leaving out a single grain.

After he finished picking up the food, he weighed it and found that the total weight of the food was more than ten pounds!
"Thank you for the gift of nature!"

Gu Yuan showed a look of joy on his face. The harvest before him proved that his idea was indeed feasible!
Digging a few more vole holes will definitely not be a problem if you can safely spend this winter!
"Squeak!"

At this moment, a fat field mouse jumped out from the rat hole next to it, stood on the slope, and shouted angrily at Gu Yuan, as if accusing Gu Yuan of his bad behavior of destroying houses and stealing food.

"Thanks to nature, we even have meat to eat today!"

Gu Yuan's eyes lit up, and with a strike of the hatchet in his hand, he sent the field mouse to see the King of Hell.

Over the next hour, Gu Yuan found another vole nest that contained food. He dug out more than ten kilograms of food before stopping.

So far, he has dug up more than 20 kilograms of food, which is enough. If he digs more, it will be difficult to carry back and will also attract the attention of those who are interested.

Next, Gu Yuan was not idle. He drove Ah Huang to look for the traces of field mice and mountain rats.

By the way, feed it a few peanuts from time to time.

Ah Huang had no idea that he had become a rat traitor, and he helped Gu Yuan look for other field mice and mountain rats.

By noon, when the sun was high in the sky, Gu Yuan had a good harvest, catching two mountain rats, three field mice, and the one he had just caught, a total of six.

After finding a flat and secluded place, Gu Yuan couldn't wait to start making a fire.

They also found a few larger leaves and wrapped the processed mountain rats and voles. After the fire was extinguished, they buried them in the charcoal and used the heat to slowly simmer them.

Soon after, when the ashes of the burnt wood were dug up and the leaves were uncovered, an enticing aroma filled the air.

This is meaty!

Gulu! Gulu!
Gu Yuan, who had been extremely hungry for a long time, felt his stomach growling. He picked up a stewed mountain rat and started to bite it.

The meat is soft and tender, with a firm texture and full of meaty aroma!

too delicious!

Although there was no seasoning, the aroma of meat in his mouth almost made Gu Yuan cry.

How pitiful!
Gu Yuan had almost forgotten what meat tasted like!

Outsiders will probably never be able to understand the happiness he felt eating meat at that moment!
I have to say, rats smell so good!
After eating two, Gu Yuan wrapped up the rest and put it in his arms, intending to take it back for his parents to eat.

Next, Gu Yuan chopped some firewood, hid the food in the firewood, and then carried it back home.
