Chapter 61: Acquired a Drunken Bird
The three people under the tree immediately became alert.
Wenwen released the large bundle of star lotus grass and hung it up, and the three of them continued to fan it with all their might.
The two people in the tree watched with envy and clamored to come down.
"Big Brother, let me come down and help fan you."
"Big brother, I'm coming down too."
"No need, it's safer to stay in the tree."
Wenwen added cheekily, "Maybe I can join in after practicing 100 steps, hehehe..."
The two people in the tree choked.
Wen Chengfeng pouted and said angrily, "Watch out, the herds of cattle, sheep, and deer will be here soon."
The men were fanning the leaves so hard they were almost breaking off, giving the impression that the wild game had come to them on its own, and they could pick and choose whatever they wanted. "Brothers, give it your all and take them all!"
Soon, the chaotic footsteps grew closer and closer. Wenwen was grabbed by the arms by her two older brothers and carried to a hidden patch of grass.
A gust of wind carried a cloud of dust from ahead.
At the same time, a cacophony of mooing, bleating, whimpering, and chirping noises came in.
These cows, sheep, and deer, rushing in like a swarm, fought and bit each other. The crowding and trampling caused some to die before they even reached the center of the star lotus grass.
Wenwen and the other two used the same method as before, changing positions and rushing past, collecting a portion of the living, the dead, the old, and the young.
Wenwen's idea was that she had three big mountains, and taking them all was no problem, but she couldn't disrupt the ecological balance here. Once the food chain here was broken, life would be cut off, and she couldn't become a sinner here. So, with the help of her two older brothers, she changed positions and dodged the animals that were fighting, carefully selecting the targets for her collection space.
In this way, the animals that were fighting each other suddenly find their opponent disappearing on the spot. The one that wasn't chosen is dumbfounded. This is too scary. It was biting and then its opponent was gone. It bit into thin air.
Some animals that were originally fighting together suddenly found their companions disappearing in the blink of an eye. This strange phenomenon in the animal herd instantly caused panic among them. The frightened cattle, sheep, and deer cried out to their kind and turned tail and ran away. In an instant, the center of the star lotus grass, which was once a coveted prize, became poison. Some of the more agile creatures were the first to abandon it and run away.
Wenwen and the others hadn't expected their provocative actions to frighten these large animals. However, they didn't intend to chase after them, but simply hid to the side and watched the remaining animals.
The rest were some young cattle, sheep, and deer. They slowly circled around the star-lotus grass, looking up at it, drooling, and mooing and bleating like children.
Wenwen and the others chuckled and came over. The cubs weren't afraid of them at all; instead, they surrounded the group and cried out even louder.
Wenwen took down the hanging star lotus grass and just untied the rope. Good heavens, the center of the huge bundle of star lotus grass was hollow, and a little bird was sleeping soundly in the cavity.
"What is this?" Wen Chengbin asked, holding the tiny bird leg upside down.
Even being carried like that, the little bird didn't wake up.
Wenwen asked curiously, "He's not dead, is he?"
Wen Chengjian reached out and touched it. "It's not dead. It's probably just stuffed. Look how swollen its belly is."
Wen Chengbin laughed, "Could it be that he ate some Star Lotus Grass and got drunk? Hahaha..."
Wenwen was amused by his nonsense. "Hehehe, second brother, maybe he really is drunk. Let's keep it for now and let it pay off its debts with work when it wakes up. It can come out whenever it pays off its debts, hehehe."
The little bird woke up after being pinched and threatened by the group, and as soon as it woke up, it wanted to spread its wings and fly away.
Unfortunately, Wenwen had already anticipated this move.
She thought to herself, since her fourth brother's hawk was nowhere to be found, it wouldn't be a bad idea to catch a small bird instead. Besides, it had eaten so much of her Star Lotus Grass, so she was in debt and wouldn't be free until she paid it back.
Without saying a word, Wenwen put it away and gave it a special instruction, "Xianbao, keep an eye on it and don't let it run wild."
Since the little birds have already eaten the empty star lotus grass, there's no need to keep the rest; they can all be given to the little chicks.
Two people perched on a branch in the tree watched the entire battle raging below.
Wen Qikang chatted with Wen Chengfeng, "Feng'er, I'm glad I didn't go down there. The turmoil down there was really difficult to handle. It was right not to hold us back."
Wen Chengfeng disagreed with such remarks, saying, "Father, we can't always hide in the trees like this. We will face more complicated situations in the future. I want to practice more with my older brother and the others. I'm not afraid of any hardship or fatigue. You should also learn more from my uncles."
"Hey, you brat, you're lecturing me now. But what you said does make some sense."
Wen Qikang watched as the people under the tree tidied up, cleaning up the trampled animals as well. He then reminded them, "My dear heroes, it's getting late. We really should hurry back."
"Alright, Third Uncle, you can come down now."
With Wen Chengbin's help, the father and son were able to get down safely.
Wen Chengjian looked at everyone, waved his hand and decided, "Let's use the Shedding Shell Technique to run first, and when we encounter people, we can slowly follow them back."
There were only a few people halfway up the mountain, and as they ran, they were smugly complaining.
"We've had such a great haul this time, how long are we going to keep eating?"
"Exactly, there are too many, so many that my hands are sore from receiving them."
"Shameless! Did you accept this?"
"Oh dear, I forgot to ask, little sister, are you gentle?"
Wenwen burst into laughter again at her eccentric second brother's antics.
"Won't hunting become easier from now on? We can just take our little sister around and wander around."
Wenwen happily agreed, "Haha, second brother, this is a good idea."
As if they had won a battle, the group was filled with excitement as they recalled their successful return. They put the molting technique they had learned that day to the extreme, moving with incredible speed.
Seeing everyone's progress, Wen Chengjian said sincerely, "We are all thanks to our sister. Now that the hunting will be easier, we should use the extra time to practice our skills."
Wen Chengfeng was the first to agree, "Brother, I'll definitely follow you and practice hard, and strive to reach 100 steps as soon as possible."
Wen Chengbin's feet kept moving, and his mind was racing as he asked in confusion, "Brother, is 100 steps really that much?"
Hmm? The speaker meant no harm, but the listener took it to heart.
Wenwen suddenly realized that she had already memorized the text of the Shedding Shell Technique, and had never seen the words "100 steps" before.
Sometimes people's minds just can't keep up; even when they know they've been fooled, they just can't see through it.
Wenwen suddenly unleashed a superb Ten-Step Shedding Technique, catching up with Wen Chengjian, and shouted loudly, "Big brother, I can read! You actually lied to me! I'm going back to tell Grandmother and she'll punish you!"
Wen Chengjian swung his palm at Wen Chengbin beside him and unleashed a torrent of curses, "Second brother, shut your mouth right now!"
"Brother, I wasn't wrong. There aren't that many."
"You still dare to talk back, second brother? I'll beat you to a pulp."
"what......"
"Hahaha......"
The group ran down the mountain amidst much bickering and noise.
