Chapter 1582: Chapter 1582: Hunting in the Mountains (Part 2)

"Alright!" Jiang Xue nodded and then sent Little Reunion back into the space. When she emerged from it, Mu Qiancheng was already aiming his hunting rifle at a small rabbit in the distance.

Jiang Xue watched silently, standing quietly to the side. With a bang, the gun fired, and the little rabbit stood still in place. Jiang Xue knew it had been hit, so she stepped forward and picked up the little rabbit.

Earlier, Jiang Xue thought the rabbit wasn’t very big, but now holding it she’s realized it’s quite plump. Judging by its weight, it seems to be four or five pounds.

With the rabbit in hand, Jiang Xue suddenly felt like finding a place to prepare it for roasting. However, without a nearby water source, she had to put that plan away.

Having caught a rabbit, Mu Qiancheng continued walking forward for a while. Suddenly, two brightly colored wild pheasants flew out from the forest.

As soon as the pheasants flew out, Mu Qiancheng’s gun fired again. With two consecutive shots, both pheasants fell from the sky.

Jiang Xue watched and, with a smile, moved forward to pick up the pheasants. Now having three pieces of game, Jiang Xue found it difficult to carry them, so she threw them straight into the space.

After tossing the game into the space, Jiang Xue emerged with a bow and arrow in hand. With the bow and arrow, Jiang Xue said to Mu Qiancheng, "Qiancheng, let’s have a competition to see who catches more game today."

"Sure thing!" Mu Qiancheng agreed with a smile. Thus, the couple walked forward together, and whenever game appeared, they would both move to catch it.

However, Jiang Xue was always a bit slower with her arrows, and several times Mu Qiancheng beat her to it, seizing the moment.

Jiang Xue didn’t mind; it didn’t matter who caught it as long as the game was in hand. In the blink of an eye, more than an hour passed, and Jiang Xue and Mu Qiancheng reached a small creek.

Even though it was only around ten in the morning, the walk made both of them somewhat hungry. So Jiang Xue promptly decided to prepare a rabbit and a pheasant.

While Jiang Xue processed the game, Mu Qiancheng gathered a pile of firewood. By the time Jiang Xue finished, Mu Qiancheng had already lit the fire.

Jiang Xue applied seasoning to the game and placed it over the fire, only then taking a rest. As she rested, she brought Little Reunion out.

As soon as Little Reunion emerged from the space, seeing the fire and the game roasting, she smiled and said, "Mom, I want to eat too later."

"Alright, once it’s cooked, mom will give you some to eat," Jiang Xue replied with a smile. Though Little Reunion was still small and couldn’t eat large pieces, she could have a bit if it was shredded.

Upon hearing Jiang Xue’s words, Little Reunion became happy. She turned to look for Big Tiger, but didn’t find him, feeling disappointed.

By that time, Big Tiger had long run off into the distance. He hadn’t been able to revel in the mountain forest outside of space for years, so naturally, he was enjoying letting loose and reasserting his kingly demeanor.

Time slowly passed, and the roasted meat began to emit a fragrant aroma. The Little Fox inside the space knew Jiang Xue was roasting meat and started drooling with greed. It wanted to come out, but unfortunately Jiang Xue wouldn’t allow it.

The Little Fox couldn’t come out and was quite upset, throwing a tantrum inside the space. But Jiang Xue didn’t care. The reason she didn’t let the Little Fox out was that she was afraid it would snatch all the meat she was roasting.

Jiang Xue understood the Little Fox’s appetite well. Though it was small, it could eat a lot. The rabbit and pheasant being roasted now wouldn’t even fill the gap between its teeth.
