Xu Yi and Lu Ke both didn't sleep, so later they simply went to the courtyard and began peeling hemp fibers. After all, with nothing to do all night, it was very boring to wait until daybreak.
When dawn arrived, the two went out.
"Why are we up so early today? It's just 6 o'clock. Did something happen?"
"They woke up around three last night because a trapped beast kept them awake all night."
"Their snares caught something again. That's great! Set up more and they won't have to worry about food and drink!"
"I don't know what big creature it was that kept calling for several hours."
Xu Yi and Lu Ke quickly arrived near the trap.
"Such a small little guy; I thought it was pretty big." Lu Ke saw the animal hanging from the snare, covered all over with earth-yellow scales, quite small, about the size of a marmot.
"No idea what kind of animal this is, but it sure put up a fuss." Xu Yi said, and then pulled back a bow, shooting an arrow at the animal.
