Besides, Xu Taichun temporarily settled down in that house.After returning from the field that evening, he was eating in the kitchen.The old man came in and said to Taichun, "Young man, take a rest earlier after eating." "I'm not tired." Taichun said while eating, "I'll go to cut grass after dinner." The old man: "Hey, it's not a matter of whether you're tired or not. I'm just explaining that my boss has other work arrangements in the morning, so you should go to bed earlier." "Don't rest! I can get up tomorrow morning, didn't you hear someone say it? The power is a monster, it will come back when it runs out...."

"No, it's not after dawn tomorrow, but in the early morning. The boss wants you to get up on the fourth watch." Taichun: "What do you do when you wake up so early?" "Hunting, my master wants to hunt." The old man explained: "You have to help the master outflank and chase away wild animals, and that job is exhausting." Only then did Taichun suddenly realize: "Oh, I see. Okay, I'll go to bed after dinner." On the field, the early morning fog enveloped the field.There are unknown insects chirping.The tranquility was quickly broken by the tense atmosphere of hunting, with rumbling horseshoes, billowing dust and smoke, and dogs barking one after another.

Gazelle and Taichun are all riding horses, each holding a long pole in his hand.They walked cautiously in a weedy ditch.When they walked out of the ravine and were in front of an elm tree, the Gazelle took the lead to rein in the horse.The gazelle said: "You can't go any further. This tree is a sign. Wait here for the command to drive out. It doesn't matter whether it is a rabbit, a fox or a wolf, if you see what you see, drive westward. The master is here Waiting over there." Taichun asked: "What kind of person is the master of that family?" Gazelle: "I haven't seen it either."

As soon as the words fell, a gunshot was heard suddenly.Gazelle and Taichun jumped up and climbed onto the horse's back.In the distance, the gray backbones of startled foxes and hares can be faintly seen rushing in haste.In the distance, other people driving wild animals were shouting, beating on gongs and tree trunks. Taichun and Huangyang exchanged glances, and then rode their horses to outflank the route according to the pre-arranged route. At this time, a rider with a shotgun skillfully rushed up a high slope, chasing a flaming fox at high speed. The rider shouted: "Quick, stop that fox!"

Taichun then outflanked the past from one side, and suddenly appeared in front of the fox. The fox was running for his life, startled by the sudden appearance of Taichun, and was about to turn around and run away. Just then, a gunshot rang out. I saw the fox limping into the grass.Taichun rode his horse and ran over to chase the injured fox. Taichun: "See where you flee!" Seeing that when he was about to catch up with the fox, Taichun caught the fox in a sea fishing. Holding the fox, Taichun turned the horse's head and ran towards the hunter. He shouted: "Master, your marksmanship is really accurate! It hit the fox in the eye!"

At this time, a burst of loud laughter suddenly sounded from the opposite side. When Taichun looked up, he saw the hunter wearing high-waisted riding boots, wearing a hood, holding the muzzle of a shotgun, looking very heroic! "Bring me the fox," cried the hunter loudly. Taichun threw the fox in his hand.The hunter took the dead fox to have a look, threw it to Taichun again, and said in an orderly tone: "You hold it for me! I still have to chase the foxes, and today I want to kill six foxes!" Before the words were finished, the horse had already run away, Taichun suddenly felt that the hunter's voice was familiar, at this moment, the hunter ran back after a circle, came to Taichun and reined in the horse: "Are you ..."

Taichun hurriedly said: "Oh, I was sent by that old man, called—" The hunter continued, "Xu Taichun!" Taichun: "You are..." The hunter reached out and took off the hood, revealing a head of black flowing hair. Taichun was shocked: "You are a big princess! Gazelle!" When Taichun happily turned around to look for the gazelle, the gazelle didn't know where it went. At this time, Na Ye laughed and said, "Okay, Xu Taichun, when did you come here?" Na Ye immediately ordered to go down, saying that she was tired and hungry after hunting all morning, and asked the people below to light a fire quickly, because she needed something to eat.
