Zhou Wuchang took advantage of the snow not yet blocking the roads, took his senior apprentice and hurried to the county seat, while the second apprentice, Zhang Min, and Yingbao were left behind as usual.

As for the wild chickens and hares on the South Slope, they had been almost hunted to extinction.
