With strong bows and sharp arrows, they were riding white horses and running on the road covered by a thin layer of snow. They searched all over the place until the sunset. When they came back, two wolves were hanged on the horses. People found out they were from a loyal family because they entered a door with flags that symbolized authority.長陵銳頭兒，出獵待明發；騂弓金爪鏑，白馬蹴微雪。 未知所馳逐，但見暮光滅；歸來懸兩狼，門戸有旌節。Signature: Juan Sou款識: 蠲叟Juansi Old Man蠲戲老
