Chapter 15 How to divide the prey

"If you want to go hunting, don't smoke when you go into the mountains. It's best not to bring any cigarettes at all."

"Prey have a keen sense of smell and may smell the smoke from a long distance away and avoid it."

Zhang Sanbao was stunned for a moment, then obediently put the cigarette back.

In this regard, he felt that Xu Ye was more professional than him.

It won’t be a big deal if you smoke one less puff, but life will be hard if you can’t catch any prey.

He thought about the days of eating meat every day.

The beauty from the next village was his elementary school classmate, and he had been coveting her for a long time.

He finally persuaded his father to ask someone to propose marriage to his family, but the other party demanded 88 kilograms of bacon plus 6 yuan as a betrothal gift before he agreed.

My family can afford 6.6 yuan, but we really don’t have 88 kilograms of bacon.

After Xu Ye shot two muntjacs last night, Zhang Sanbao saw hope.

When hunting with Xu Ye, you can get a share of the meat as long as you put in the effort.

If you are lucky enough to kill a big wild boar, you can get married.

"Xu Ye, listen." Jiang Ruyue pushed Xu Ye while holding the leopard.

Xu Ye immediately pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

Soon, he heard some movement.

After making a gesture to keep quiet, Xu Ye took the Hanyang-made rifle handed to him by Jiang Ruyue.

Zhang Sanbao turned his head back and forth, wondering if his ears were broken.

Isn't it just the insects chirping? Is there any special sound?
Moreover, his hound didn't react at all and was still looking at him.

Seeing Xu Ye walking out in a crouching position, he quickly grabbed his hunting dogs to prevent them from doing anything wrong.

After a dozen steps, Xu Ye saw an animal eating.

It’s not very big, maybe only about ten pounds.

Gun or slingshot?
Xu Ye regretted not bringing Zhang Sanbao's hunting bow, because the animal looked a bit like a raccoon dog.

Using a gun can easily damage the fur, which will lose its acquisition value.

If you use a bow and arrow, the damage to the fur will be less.

With a ruthless heart, Xu Ye took out a slingshot from his pocket and put a stone on it.

Because he can aim at its head, if he can hit its head hard, the chances of taking it down are still very high.

Bullets are limited, so if you can avoid using guns when dealing with small animals, try to use them as little as possible.

"Bang!" The moment the stone was thrown out, Xu Ye also rushed out.

The distance is thirty steps, which is still very close.

Xu Ye shot very accurately, and the stone hit the prey directly on the head.

Out of instinct, it jumped on the spot.

Then it just started spinning in place.

Xu Ye was suddenly delighted and rushed forward at an accelerated speed.

"squeak……"

He stepped on the opponent's tail.

What a raccoon!

Xu Ye grinned and stepped on it as it tried to bite his head.

"Sister Yue, hunting knife." Xu Ye turned around and shouted.

Jiang Ruyue, who had been waiting for an opportunity, rushed out as agilely as a little deer.

"Brother Ye is so awesome. This is a raccoon, and he captured it without even firing a gun." Zhang Sanbao, who was following him, showed an envious look.

This raccoon has nothing to do with him. After all, he didn't contribute anything.

Jiang Ruyue was the first to discover it, and then Xu Ye took action.

"Luckily, the slingshot hit its head and made it spin in place." Xu Ye grinned, in a very good mood.

[Hunting a 12-jin raccoon, hunting attribute +0.12]

A quick glance at the prompts and panel showed that his hunting attribute was already 1.49.

After thinking about it, he decided not to save it anymore and decided to improve himself first.

What was just discovered was not Jiang Ruyue, but a leopard.

Only after the leopard reacted did Jiang Ruyue push Xu Ye.

You can still rely on its hearing and sense of smell for the time being, but you will have to rely on your own vision.

"System, vision +1 attribute."

In an instant, Xu Ye felt his eyes feel a little cool.

At the same time, the world became a little brighter. "It really improves night vision!"

Xu Ye was secretly delighted to find that this was just as he had guessed.

While feeling happy, Xu Ye mentioned the raccoon dog whose veins he had cut.

The hounds quickly surrounded and licked the blood on the ground.

"The raccoon skin purchasing station will definitely like this. Last year, my father took one to exchange for three dollars and a few meat coupons. He was so happy." Zhang Sanbao said enviously.

The purchasing power of three yuan nowadays is quite strong. After all, a pound of lean pork is only 5 cents, a pound of fat pork is only 8 cents, and a pound of rice is only cents.

However, this is all based on the premise that you have a ticket.

Without a ticket, you can’t buy one.

Unless you buy it at a high price on the black market.

Although he was envious, Zhang Sanbao didn't say much.

This was achieved by Xu Ye's own ability, and has nothing to do with him.

He now only hoped to encounter a wild boar so that he would have a chance to shoot.

He was considering whether he should keep some distance from Xu Ye.

This was what his father originally meant, to keep them about ten meters apart so that they could take care of each other, but they could also act independently.

After thinking about it, he decided to follow Xu Ye.

He might not be able to find prey, and he was alone, so he was a little hesitant.

Distance cannot be controlled just like that. It is common for people to get lost in the woods.

After bleeding the raccoon, Xu Ye put it in a backpack.

Jiang Ruyue hesitated for a moment, then said, "Xu Ye, how do we divide this?"

She felt that since she had brought Zhang Sanbao into the mountains, they certainly couldn't fight each other.

"What's the point of this? This was done by Brother Ye himself. It has nothing to do with me."

"When people go into the mountains to hunt, the rewards are divided according to how much effort they put in. I didn't fire a single shot, and I didn't even spot this raccoon, so how can I divide the rewards?" Zhang Sanbao said very straightforwardly.

He was clear-headed and knew that he followed Xu Ye mainly to learn some hunting skills.

The raccoon dog just now made Zhang Sanbao even more determined. They were clearly resting together, but Xu Ye could hear the noise and find them without even needing a hunting dog.

If he had this ability, why would he worry about not being able to hunt prey in the mountains?

Jiang Ruyue glanced at Xu Ye, wondering if this way of division was appropriate.

Anyway, it sounds like there's nothing wrong with it.

But Xu Ye didn't think so, because he considered more.

Zhang Sanbao is physically strong and has a simple mind, making him a very good deputy.

Hunting is a life-threatening job and if you are not careful you could get stuck in the mountains.

It is not easy to find a reliable deputy, and Zhang Sanbao is an ideal candidate.

Moreover, the Zhang family is large in number and is a force that cannot be underestimated.

If he wants to do something in the village in the future, he will need the support of the Zhang family.

In addition, the Li family still owes a lot of money.

It’s not possible to catch prey once or twice, but when there are more prey, the creditors of the Li family will come to the door.

He didn't want to use all his harvest to pay off his debts. What would his family eat after that?
So Xu Ye started talking.

"Originally, I agreed with my sister-in-law to split the money in half, because she lent me the gun and was responsible for the bullets."

"But now there are three of us, so it's not appropriate to divide us like this."

"Here's what I thought. From now on, the person who kills the prey will get half, and the other half will be divided equally among the others."

Jiang Ruyue couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Split it equally with yourself before?
When did this happen? How come I don’t know about it?

She met Xu Ye's gaze and subconsciously wanted to defend herself.

But after thinking about it, I understood the deeper meaning of Xu Ye's actions.

He wants to protect his reputation.

I don't want people in the village to gossip about me behind my back, nor do I want my family and sister to be dragged into it.

If word gets out that he brought his wife to someone's house to help, the impact will be huge.

If you don't handle it properly, it will be considered hooliganism.

If you share the hunting share yourself, it's not joining the gang.

This is simply taking me hunting and helping my husband's family, which is a kind of kinship.
