Return to the era, take over and become a winner in life

Chapter 168: Divide into two teams to go hunting in the mountains (Subscribe)

When we returned to the temporary camp, the two hounds that stayed behind seemed a little excited.

Apparently, no one else had come here during the time they were away.

The black muntjac meat is still in the basket and has not spoiled yet.

Xu Ye cut some off to roast and made some to make soup.

Although we are in the mountains, we still need to be kind to ourselves when it comes to food and drink.

"Brother Ye, what do these wild hogs eat?" Jiang Ruoan squatted beside the backpack, looking at the wild hogs in it, and asked curiously.

"They are omnivorous and will eat small animals such as mice, insects, etc. They also eat plant roots and rhizomes, etc." Xu Ye replied.

"Then it's easy to raise." Jiang Ruoan's eyes lit up, and then he went to get some black deer meat that was originally intended to feed the dog.

These meats are mainly some lymph meat and leftover meat.

"This little badger is really adorable, but a little fierce and always wants to bite people." Jiang Ruoan said as he fed the baby.

Any animal looks particularly cute when it is a child, even snakes that Xu Ye hates.

"They really eat meat. They look very hungry." Jiang Ruoan took the opportunity to rub the furry head of the little badger.

Jiang Ruyue was also tempted and took some sweet potatoes over to feed the little badgers.

Xu Ye did not join in the fun, but grilled the meat peacefully.

These animals only look cuter when they are young, and that’s when they are clean.

After feeding, the two sisters played for a while before coming to have lunch.

After lunch, Xu Ye took the two of them to practice shooting.

From now on, Xu Ye will have to stay in the mountains to hunt frequently, so it is necessary for them to improve their marksmanship.

After practicing for most of the afternoon, Xu Ye finally heard the cry of an eagle in the sky.

In order to find out in advance whether the hunting team had arrived, Xu Ye asked three goshawks to conduct aerial reconnaissance.

The effect is still very obvious. As soon as someone appears, the goshawk will chirp to alert Xu Ye and the others.

So Xu Ye and the others finished their shooting practice.

After all, there was still a smell of gunpowder in the camp.

However, by the time those people arrived here, the smell had dissipated.

Half an hour later, the hunting team arrived at the camp and saw Xu Ye and the others still playing cards.

"team leader!"

"Captain, we are back."

Everyone was very excited. After all, they had won countless praises when they returned to the village this time.

When they entered the mountains, the villagers gave them a lot of eggs, asking them to eat them on the road and to bring some for Xu Ye and the others.

Xu Ye put down the cards in his hand, smiled and stood up to greet everyone: "Everyone is back. Did you have a smooth journey?"

The team members talked about what they saw and heard during their return to the village, their eyes full of pride and excitement.

"Thanks to your arrangement this time, the prey we brought back made the village lively for a while, and everyone has more confidence in our hunting team!" said a team member happily.

Xu Ye nodded and glanced at the crowd. Seeing that everyone was a little tired but in good spirits, he felt more at ease.

"Unfortunately, we didn't catch any big prey when you were away, so we caught a few badgers to see if we can take them back and raise them." Xu Ye said casually.

"Can this thing be raised?" Zhang Sanbao asked curiously.

"Let's give it a try. The meat is delicious anyway." Xu Ye was not absolutely sure about this matter, after all, he had never raised one before.

Breeding and taming are two different things. Taming takes a lot of time, and Xu Ye can't possibly spend time on this.

Zhang Sanbao nodded and reached out to touch the badger's head.

"The meat of this wild boar is much tastier than wild boar meat. If we can tame it, we can definitely sell it for a good price."

The others also nodded in agreement. They were still savoring the badger meat.

After watching for a while, everyone sat down to rest.

They didn't get much rest when they entered the mountains and were very tired.

As night fell, a bonfire was lit in the camp.

Everyone sat together, eating barbecue and chatting, with smiles on everyone's face.

For them, having meat for every meal is like a divine life.

Who doesn’t like a hunting team like this?

"What do you think? After we get down the mountain, will anyone come to propose marriage?"

Those who are not married are already looking forward to the matchmaker coming to their house.

If the news of killing more than a dozen wild boars at one time spreads out, there will surely be countless girls rushing to marry the members of the hunting team.

Marrying into someone's family means having meat to eat regularly.

At this time, meat is more attractive than money, because you may not be able to buy it even if you have money.

Because you still need tickets.

Money and tickets are both indispensable.

Although the black market exists, it can only supply a small amount and is not available every day.

"Does this need to be said?"

"Of course there will be. There will definitely be many people coming to propose marriage. When the time comes, I will have to choose carefully."

"So, we can go to the girl's family to propose marriage. She will definitely agree, right?" someone said excitedly.

"Damn it, you guys are finally getting better. Why didn't I meet someone as capable as the captain back then?"

"Sure, Lao Hei, if your wife hears what you said, you won't be able to go back to your room to sleep for a month." "Hey, I was just saying that casually." Lao Hei quickly admitted defeat, but still looked at the unmarried ones with envy.

When you are poor, it is very difficult to marry someone you love.

Many people's children are arranged by their parents, so there is no question of likes or dislikes.

The prerequisite for free love is a good family background, which allows one to be free.

When you can't even afford food and clothing, it's a blessing to find someone who is willing to marry you.

Chatting happily and eating meat happily.

Everyone is very grateful to Xu Ye.

Because without Xu Ye, I couldn't live such a carefree life.

After eating, everyone continued chatting, and it was not until eight or nine o'clock that everyone went to bed one after another.

We will go into the forest to hunt again tomorrow. Everyone is looking forward to it and hopes to have another big harvest like when we hunted wild boars.

Jiang Ruoan and Jiang Ruyue slept next to each other, but at this time Jiang Ruoan was no longer close to Xu Ye.

There were so many people around, Jiang Ruoan didn't want to show her intimacy in front of them.

This night was also very peaceful and nothing happened.

The next morning, everyone woke up one after another.

Xu Ye woke up the earliest and got up early to make breakfast.

Today he wanted to go into the mountains earlier to try his luck and see if he could get more prey and add some to the leopard.

At the same time, he also wanted to divide people into two teams so as to expand the scope.

He came to the mountains just to improve his proficiency. If he was too conservative, the benefits would be too low.

Now the three goshawks can be used to convey information, so there are conditions for separation.

Otherwise, Xu Ye would not dare to separate rashly.

When we were having breakfast, everyone felt a little nervous when they heard that they were going to separate.

However, Zhang Sanbao, the team leader, was somewhat excited.

"Brother Ye, am I really in charge of Team Two?" Zhang Sanbao asked excitedly.

"Yes, you are now in charge of Team 2 and are the captain of Team 2. Captain Baoshan is your deputy."

"As for hunting, he still needs to learn from you." Xu Ye said with certainty.

The reason why Xu Ye made such arrangements was indeed because Zhang Sanbao had more experience.

Others really can't compare to him.

In addition, his hunting dogs are second only to leopards and are also quite powerful.

At the same time, he often went to his home to feed the eagles, gave them a lot of meat, and became familiar with the three eagles.

"Let Yingwu follow you first. If it needs our support, tie a strip of cloth on its legs and it will come to me." Xu Ye instructed.

Zhang Sanbao's eyes lit up and he quickly asked, "Is this true?"

"Goshawk, can it also deliver letters?"

Not only Zhang Sanbao, but everyone else was also shocked.

After all, this matter was beyond their cognition and imagination.

They had heard of using carrier pigeons to send messages, but they had never heard of using eagles to send messages.

Can this kind of bird of prey be trained to this level?
Xu Ye looked at everyone's surprised expressions and explained with a smile: "I have trained these three goshawks since they were young. I have built enough trust with them. As long as the method is right, they can do it. But this requires our mutual understanding and long-term practice."

After hearing this, the team members couldn't help but admire Xu Ye's abilities even more.

Zhang Sanbao nodded heavily, his eyes full of determination and responsibility: "Brother Ye, don't worry! I will definitely lead the second team well, and I will inform you as soon as there is any situation."

Xu Ye patted his shoulder and encouraged him: "Okay, pay attention to safety. Don't be stubborn when you encounter danger. The first priority is to ensure your own safety."

The goshawk can not only deliver messages, but also be responsible for reconnaissance.

Therefore, Xu Ye is quite looking forward to today's hunting.

He agreed to return here in the evening, and then the two teams set off in different directions.

Jiang Ruoan and Jiang Ruyue naturally followed Xu Ye, and they didn't talk to anyone else.

To others, he just acts cold and aloof.

Those members of the hunting team did not dare to come up to talk to them and kept their distance.

To be honest, Jiang Ruoan and Jiang Ruyue both hoped that they could be in the same team with Xu Ye.

Xu Ye alone is capable of defeating the entire hunting team.

But they didn’t want to put Xu Ye in a difficult position.

After entering the forest, the two of them looked up from time to time.

Although the tree canopy blocks the goshawk's view, it can observe from different angles in the air.

And eagles have excellent eyesight, with a range and acuity far exceeding that of humans.

Most eagles have vision that is eight times better than humans, and possibly up to ten times better.

This superb vision allows eagles to perceive subtle details that humans cannot perceive.

The occlusion that affects humans has little effect on them.

Therefore, the biggest problem when entering the mountains is that the hunting team will not be able to see the goshawks scouting in the air.

In this case, it is important to determine the location of the goshawk.

Otherwise, if the goshawk discovers its prey and they don't know about it, they naturally won't be able to hunt it.
