After Laba, the snow started falling again, this time heavier and lasting even longer.
With heavy snow sealing the mountains, it was an excellent opportunity for hunters to enter the mountains.
Because pheasants and hares would leave footprints when they came out to forage, following these tracks made it easy to catch prey.
Especially for Sun Erhu, who was even more diligent in heading up the mountain.
He said he felt miserable at heart, wishing he could cuddle with his wife and sleep in, but since Chao Lian spent all day in the embroidery room, he had no choice but to go hunting.
That day, he had a bountiful harvest, and Sun Erhu sent everything he caught to Tan Zhenghong's house.
He was trained by Tan Zhenghong himself; it was only right for an apprentice to show respect to his master.
It was also a good excuse to come and get warm. After a day in the mountains, he felt numb with cold all over.
"Well done, your skills are getting better and better."
