The Life of a Son-in-Law in a Courtyard House

"Don't linger too long in the mountains, come out early, okay?"

"Captain Jing said."

Yang Dalin shook his head: "No problem."

"Okay, no problem, let's start packing and heading out."

Your car goes first, drive fast, find a campsite in advance, and get into the mountains ahead of time.

We're maintaining the same pace as this morning.

Yang Dalin replied, "Yes."

Then Yang Dalin called over the chubby guy and Brother Tian, ​​along with four security guards who had been in the back of Yang Dalin's car.

Let's go ahead and leave first.

Upon hearing Captain Jing's words, Brother Tian began to accelerate his car a little.

This area is still flat, so the roads are easier to travel.

We entered the mountain after a while.

The speed over there won't be much faster.

Tian Xueyi told Yang Dalin to take another nap.

That way he won't be too tired to go hunting at night.

Yang hadn't slept all night, but after a morning nap, he felt much better and didn't refuse Brother Tian's offer.

Heeding the advice, he dozed off for another two hours.

The vehicle began to shake violently, and Yang Dalin woke up. He saw that they had indeed started heading into the mountains.

Yang Dalin told Brother Tian to stop the car, he got out to relieve himself, and then let the chubby guy drive.

Let Brother Tian go and rest.

After getting off the bus, Yang Dalin couldn't help but sway his waist.

My back is really tired from sitting in a car for so long.

I really want to modify the area behind the driver's seat into a place where I can lie down and rest.

Unfortunately, the front space of vehicles is too small now.

There's simply no space.

I can only offer this suggestion to car manufacturers in the future.

If the driver's cab were bigger, it would be great to have an extra place to lie down and rest.

Yang Dalin stretched for a bit before getting back into the car.

Around 5 p.m., Yang Dalin spotted a good spot.

The roadside here is quite wide, making it suitable as a campsite.

There is also a stream not far away.

It's also convenient to get water.

Yang Dalin told the chubby boy to stop.

Brother Tian and the others also got off the bus.

Looking around, it seems quite suitable.

Yang Dalin stretched his arms and legs and picked up the two guns.

Yang Dalin kept a close eye on the vehicle's surroundings throughout the journey and did not notice any danger.

Yang Dalin climbed up a small hill and surveyed the area, confirming that there were no problems.

This allowed Brother Tian and his team to prepare to receive the following convoy.

He carried his gun into the mountains by himself.

The chubby boy wanted to come along, but Yang Dalin refused.

One sentence hit the chubby boy hard: "You're a burden to me. Don't be discouraged. This isn't just directed at you; it's the same for those security guards."

You can't keep up with my speed.

"Little fatty, you'd better wait here for your meat."

Yang Dalin quickly disappeared from the little fat boy's sight.

It wasn't dark yet, and Yang Dalin had better visibility.

Store the gun in your spatial storage.

Yang Dalin moved quickly through the mountains.

He walked upstream along the stream, where he could more easily spot prey.

Because many prey come to drink water in the evening.

This is Longshan, which can be considered a spur of the Qinling Mountains.

Yang Dalin was eager to know if he would be able to encounter a round and plump national treasure.

If I still have space to raise them, I will definitely catch one to keep as a pet.

Unfortunately, I don't have the space to raise them, so even if I do encounter a round and plump one, I can only look at it.

Yang Dalin's excellent hearing made it easy for him to shoot down several pheasants.

It will be the golden pheasant, a Class II protected animal in the future.

However, there are quite a few now, and they are no longer protected animals.

The most beautiful ones are all roosters; the hens aren't as brightly colored.

Yang Dalin caught a few beautiful roosters, but he didn't bother with the hens or the wild eggs.

There are quite a few wild rabbits in the mountains, but Yang Dalin is not so kind to them.

These things reproduce quickly, so it's okay to catch more.

Yang Dalin also discovered a herd of Qinling takins. It seems that there won't be many of these animals in the future. Looking at their size, Yang Dalin reluctantly shot one down.

There are more than a dozen takins in this group.

It's not a protected animal anymore, and besides, this thing produces a lot of meat.

Looking at one of the adult bulls, which weighed at least four or five hundred pounds, Yang Dalin couldn't help but succumb.

Who told you to have so much meat? So we'll start cutting you.

Thankfully it wasn't decades later, otherwise one red-bellied pheasant and one takin would have been enough to keep Yang Dalin busy operating the sewing machine for a long time.

To avoid scaring away the animals, Yang Dalin used crossbows.

Instead of using guns, otherwise all the animals that come to drink will be scared away.

Continuing along the stream, Yang Dalin hunted several more wild goats.

Not bad. Although the number of animals in the mountains has decreased due to the drought, Yang Dalin can still find quite a few.

He hadn't gone far when he found something good: a giant salamander, also known as a Chinese giant salamander, in a spot with plenty of water in the stream.

This stuff has high requirements for water quality.

Yang Dalin had heard of this stuff, but he had never eaten it, not even in his previous life.

But it looked so pitiful as it cried out.

Yang Dalin thought for a moment, then released it.

It wasn't that he meant well; it's just that Yang Dalin didn't know how to make this.

It's a waste to catch someone who doesn't know how to do it.

Let's not catch it.

Keep it.

I don't need this one fish.

Put this poor salamander down.

Yang Dalin continued on his way.

Not long after, Yang Dalin smelled a strange fragrance.

He spotted a little creature with sharp fangs.

It looks a lot like a fawn, and somewhat resembles a cute roe deer.

But it's also very small.

Yang Dalin recognized it; it wasn't a deer, it was a musk deer.

It was a male musk deer.

Only male musk deer have musk sacs and produce musk.

The government started breeding these animals two years ago.

Musk is very expensive, and it's priced by the gram.

The female musk deer has neither fangs nor a sachet.

People don't have fangs for eating; they have them for competing for mates.

Just like the male golden pheasant, the more beautiful it is, the more hens will be attracted to it.

Just like beautiful women, they all like handsome men.

Yang Dalin made the slightest noise, and the thing ran away in fright.

It was very timid, so Yang Dalin didn't catch it.

I don't have the space to raise them myself, so catching them is useless.

Musk is said to be used extensively in the emperor's harem, so I imagine Zhen Huan would need it too.

Because it has special functions.

In addition, it was too small, weighing only a dozen kilograms when fully grown. After removing the skin and bones, there wasn't much meat left, so Yang Dalin had no choice but to reluctantly give it up.

Yang Dalin continued on his way and caught several more wild boars.

This thing produces a lot of meat, even if it doesn't taste that good, but wild boars are too easy to overpopulate.

I don't feel guilty about paying more.

Looking at his harvest, which was quite substantial, Yang Dalin prepared to head back.

On the way back, Yang Dalin also spotted a type of serow, which looked to have a decent meat yield.

Yang Dalin casually shot a few more.

This is enough for us.

We can eat our way all the way to Jincheng in Gansu Province without any problems.

It's not good to take everything out at once.

First, take a large wild boar and a wild goat; that will be enough.

Yang Dalin realized that it would be difficult to clean up the animals' wounds if they went down, so he cleaned up a wild goat and a wild boar right there by a mountain stream.

Then he made a carrying pole, carrying the two butchered prey on one end, and then went down the mountain.
