The new house will be finished with the roof tiles in a few days, and there's not much else to do around the home.
That day, Xuexue and Big Bull went up the mountain again, intending to hunt some game to sell at Xiaohe Restaurant for some Silver. After all, hosting a banquet after the house is built would be another considerable expense.
Xuexue, carrying a basket on her back, walked along the winding mountain path, with Big Bull following closely behind, occasionally cocking his ear to listen out for wolves that might suddenly attack them.
Ahead was a dense forest, dominated by centuries-old trees, and the undergrowth was almost waist-high, a clear sign that the area was seldom visited. Otherwise, the undergrowth would not be so dense, and there would be traces where people had walked.
Xuexue looked around and suggested, "Big Bull, let's go this way."
With no footpaths, there would be more game.
