Time Travel: My Comfortable Life After Going to the Countryside

Leqi smiled, while Xue Bingbing began to examine the parts, pondering which parts could be eaten tonight and which should be marinated and dried.

Liu Xiangyang also had a satisfied smile on his face. This trip into the mountains had yielded far more than expected. He had small animals, wild game, rare forest frogs, and now he even had a roe deer that would last him a long time.

"It's still early, why don't you try shooting with your rifles yourselves?" Liu Xiangyang asked them.

"Okay, okay! Qingqing keeps saying she's already caught a roe deer, I want to try too!" Le Yao chimed in eagerly.

"Okay, let's walk along this path again and see how our luck is today."

"It's still early, why don't you try shooting with your rifles yourselves?" Liu Xiangyang asked them.

"Great! Qingqing keeps saying she's already caught a roe deer, I want to try too!" Le Yao immediately responded excitedly.

Xue Bingbing and Le Qi exchanged a glance, both somewhat tempted. Touching and firing a gun was an experience they had never had before, and they were itching to try it out.

"Alright, let's walk along this path again and see how our luck is today." Liu Xiangyang looked at their eager expressions, put the prey they had caught into a tree hole next to them, and then moved a few large stones to block the entrance.

After getting everything ready, he led the three of them toward the other side of the birch forest.

This grove is sparser, with more low shrubs and berry bushes on the ground.

Not long after they walked, the bushes a dozen meters ahead suddenly trembled, and a grayish-brown pheasant with long tail feathers took flight.

"Le Yao, quick!" Liu Xiangyang shouted, shoving the loaded shotgun into Le Yao's hands and quickly adjusting her grip. "Shoulder to the gun, aim a little ahead of it!"

Le Yao was both excited and nervous. Her hands trembled slightly as she pulled the trigger at the fluttering shadow in the air.

"Bang!"

A gunshot rang out, but the bullet flew off somewhere unknown. Startled, the pheasant scurried into the denser woods.

"Oops, I missed..." Le Yao said, somewhat disappointed.

"It's good that it fired on the first try. You'll get the hang of it after a few more tries." Liu Xiangyang took back the gun, reloaded it, and said, "Remember the feel, keep your hand steady."

Continuing on, Xue Bingbing discovered a plump gray rabbit scavenging for food under a tree.

"Bingbing, come here." Liu Xiangyang handed her the gun.

Xue Bingbing was much more composed than Le Yao. She took a deep breath, set up her gun and aimed as Liu Xiangyang had just taught her. The rabbit seemed to sense the danger, stopped moving, and pricked up its ears.

"Bang!"

The gunshot rang out again, sending up a small patch of dirt where the rabbit was, but the rabbit leaped to the side the instant the shot was fired and then quickly darted into the bushes, missing the target.

"What a pity, it dodged it." Before Le Yao could finish speaking, Liu Xiangyang had already thrown his javelin.

"Bang!"

The rabbit was pinned to the ground by the javelin, kicking its legs. "Animals are very alert; you have to be decisive when you shoot, giving them no time to react."

He stepped forward, pulled out the javelin, and threw the rabbit into his basket.

He handed the gun to Leqi. Leqi didn't say anything, but carefully examined the gun and then silently followed.

This time, luck seemed to have turned. Not far ahead, on a low chokecherry tree, stood two birds with bluish-gray feathers, slightly larger than pigeons, looking quite majestic.

"It's a flying dragon!" Liu Xiangyang's eyes lit up, and he lowered his voice, "This thing is rare, and its meat is extremely delicious. Qiqi, give it a try. You shoot the one on the left, and I'll take care of the one on the right."

Feilong didn't seem afraid of people, and was even tilting his head in the tree to observe them.

Leqi nodded, slowly raised her gun, and aimed at one of them. She was unusually calm, and her arm was very steady.

"Bang!"

A third shot rang out. The bullet grazed the dragon's tail feathers, knocking down a few leaves. Startled, the two dragons cried out and flew away, missing the target again.

Almost at the same time the gunshot rang out, the pebble in Liu Xiangyang's hand flew out.

With a "crack," the dragon's head drooped and fell from the sky; Liu Xiangyang had broken the dragon's neck with a pebble.

"I'll go get it." Le Yao said and ran towards the flying dragon.

"Qiqi, your prediction was excellent. If you had just been a little more steady, you would have won," Liu Xiangyang encouraged.

"Brother Xiangyang, you're amazing! You even broke the dragon's neck!" Le Yao said, showing off the dragon.

"If I'm not strong enough, how can I subdue you? Come on, you guys fire a few more shots and see if you can hit the prey. Whoever hits the prey will get a reward." He pinched Le Yao's cheek and said.

"What kind of reward?" Leqi asked with a smile.

"I won't tell you now, I'll give it to you tonight."

"I knew you were going to be indecent again." Leqi blushed and pinched him.

"How am I being improper? Married couples having sex is the most proper thing to do, Bingbing, don't you agree?"

"You are the head of the household, and everything you say is correct."

"Hey, Bingbing, you're bullying me too." Leqi swayed her waist and stomped her foot.

"Qiqi, you should speak with a clear conscience. Where did I bully you? You were the loudest one last night." Xue Bingbing looked at Leqi and pointed out her shortcomings with a smirk.

"Brother, look, Bingbing is bullying me too." Leqi, her face beaming, threw herself into Liu Xiangyang's arms.

"I'm the fairest person, so tonight I'll let you all shout it out loud," Liu Xiangyang said with a smile, his arm around Le Qi.

"I'm ignoring you guys." Leqi buried her head in his chest and twisted her waist in protest.

"Alright, let's continue. Fire a few more shots and try to hit your prey yourself."

The group continued onward, each firing four or five shots along the way. Only Yueyao was lucky enough to shoot down a dragon, which made her extremely happy, and she insisted on keeping her own spoils.

Xue Bingbing and Le Qi were a bit unlucky; they only managed to kill a flying dragon and a rooster thanks to Liu Xiangyang's help in finishing them off.

"Alright, it's getting late. Let's call it a day and head back to the shelter."

The group returned the way they came, retrieved the prey they had stored in the tree hollow, and returned to their shelter.

While the sun was still high in the sky, Liu Xiangyang led Xue Bingbing and the others to process the game they had caught that day below the spring.

Liu Xiangyang dragged the half-grown roe deer to the water's edge and skillfully processed it, skinning and butchering it with practiced ease.

On the other side, Xue Bingbing, along with Le Qi and Le Yao, processed the flying dragon, pheasant, and forest frog. Xue Bing and Le Qi plucked and gutted the flying dragon and pheasant, while Le Yao carefully sliced ​​open the forest frog, carefully removing the golden toad oil and setting the tender white frog meat aside.

The group worked together seamlessly, quickly sorting and placing the roe deer meat chunks, cleaned pheasant, tender white frog meat, and precious toad oil into their respective categories, while the bloodstains were washed away and buried by the spring water.

After bringing the items back to the shelter, the three women busied themselves preparing dinner.

After finishing dinner, Le Yao patted her stomach and said, "I really wish I could just stay in the mountains like this, then I wouldn't have to work every day."
