More than ten individuals returned from their excursion, laden not only with the deer they had captured but also with yesterday's harvest of gastrodia elata and ganoderma lucidum. Along the journey, they also managed to casually hunt a few wild rabbits and pheasants, returning with a bounty of game.
The journey had been considerable, justifying the acquisition of such prey. Despite widespread envy, others could only resign themselves to this reality.
By noon, the returning party reached the village where they had been staying.
Deer hunting in the forest was a rare feat, even for the most seasoned hunters who hesitated to venture too deeply into its depths.
The return of Qiao Xuan, Shao Yunduan, and their companions with such a remarkable haul left the entire village in awe!
