Yuan Zhaodi and Yuan Pandi were still worrying here, while Old Yuan suddenly appeared, rolling and crawling.
"Big brother!"
Yuan Lu and Yuan Shou were nearby. Seeing Old Yuan's state, they thought their big brother had encountered some wild beast, and immediately raised their axes and rushed forward.
Don't underestimate the brothers; they're over forty but still very sturdy.
"I'm, I'm fine!"
Seeing his two younger brothers rushing over fiercely, Old Yuan quickly waved his hand, sat on the ground, and beckoned to them, saying, "Quick, have the boys bring the baskets!"
"Big brother? What do you need the baskets for?"
Yuan Lu blinked, confused.
Old Yuan chuckled, saying, "I've found a wild chicken hole!"
"Really?!"
Upon hearing their big brother's words, Yuan Lu and Yuan Shou's eyes widened simultaneously.
"No kidding, hurry up, our Yuan Family really is something different now!"
Old Yuan was in an exceptionally good mood.
Yuan Lu and Yuan Shou immediately called out, summoning their sons who were still busy chopping trees.
Even though they were in the mountains to chop trees, each of them carried a basket, since wild items and fruits from the mountains were valuable.
At the very least, gathering a basketful of weed for pigs was good.
The group immediately followed Old Yuan towards the western mountain gully.
"Keep quiet, if you scare away the chickens, you'll see if I don't beat you!"
Old Yuan reminded as he walked.
In fact, Old Yuan didn't need to remind them; everyone understood there should be no noise at this time.
The entrance of the wild chicken hole was large, more than a person's height.
However, that wasn't a problem.
Under Old Yuan's command, the group quickly appeared at the entrance of the wild chicken hole, and then rushed in, each holding a basket, blocking the hole quite thoroughly.
"Haha, it worked!"
Seeing the entrance of the chicken hole blocked, Old Yuan laughed proudly.
Next up was catching the wild chickens.
Old Yuan decided to take matters into his own hands.
The inside of the wild chicken hole was pitch dark, so torches needed to be prepared before entering.
That's no big deal.
In just a short time, a few simple torches were ready.
"Big brother, let's do it together!"
Yuan Lu and Yuan Shou were also eager.
Thus, the three brothers led the charge and rushed into the wild chicken hole.
With their intrusion, the resting wild chickens inside the hole were startled, feathers flying everywhere.
Half an hour later, the chicken-catching campaign concluded.
All the wild chickens inside the hole were captured.
"Let's go, go, go home!"
Having caught so many wild chickens, they had to send them back home first.
While it was still early, they hurriedly sent these living wild chickens to be sold in the town and county—that's money.
"This Little Jiaojiao really is a treasure to our Yuan Family!"
No wonder Old Yuan praised her like that; catching chickens in a cave was typical in the dead of winter.
But now, it's early summer, and this large group of chickens huddled in the cave is really unusual.
Old Yuan was too lazy to worry about why the chickens were in the cave at this time; anyway, the Yuan Family made an easy profit.
So, they were delighted!
When Old Yuan and his group returned to the village, the villagers saw the chickens they caught and were enviously jealous.
As a result, for the next period of time, besides tending the fields, the villagers would head to the mountains, wondering if they too could strike it rich like the Yuan Family.
