Chapter 206 We are about to have another great harvest (Subscribe)
There was some bear droppings in the cave, but it looked like it had been abandoned for a long time.

Xu Ye spread the raincoat on the ground, and then put the sleeping bag in the backpack on it.

This sleeping bag was naturally made by Jiang Ruyue and can accommodate two people.

"Although it's raining, we can still practice shooting." As he said that, Xu Ye took out his pistol.

"Sister, let me teach you how to use a pistol today." As he said that, Xu Ye went around behind Jiang Ruyue.

She usually practices with a rifle and doesn't really have much chance to practice with a pistol.

So she nodded and took Xu Ye's pistol.

Then, he raised it and aimed it at a distant target.

"The principle of aiming a pistol is the same as that of a rifle, which is also a straight line of three points. However, the recoil of a pistol is relatively small. However, because the gun is held closer to the eyes, it requires more concentration and control of breathing."

Xu Ye stood behind Jiang Ruyue, leaned over slightly, placed his hands lightly on her gun-holding hand, and explained in a steady and patient tone.

Jiang Ruyue could feel Xu Ye's warm breath spraying on her neck, and her heartbeat unconsciously quickened slightly.

She took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, and slowly adjusted her breathing as Xu Ye had said.

"Yes, that's right. Keep your arms steady and don't shake." Xu Ye felt that Jiang Ruyue's condition was getting better, and encouraged her softly.

Jiang Ruyue narrowed her eyes slightly, and stared through the crosshairs at a protruding rock in the distance. That was her target at the moment.

She slowly pulled the trigger with her finger, and with a "bang", the bullet whizzed out, leaving a trace in the humid air.

However, the bullet did not hit the target, but flew past the edge of the stone and hit the rock wall next to it, splashing a string of sparks.

She turned her head away somewhat embarrassedly, with a look of apology on her face.

These bullets were all bought with money, and the brigade is no longer responsible for their supply.

"It's okay, you haven't shot a pistol much, so just practice a few more times. The shooting technique of a pistol needs to be slowly figured out." Xu Ye comforted her. He could feel that Jiang Ruyue's body was a little tense because she missed the target.

Jiang Ruyue bit her lip, and a spirit of unwillingness to admit defeat came up.

She readjusted her stance and aimed her gun again.

This time, she was more focused, concentrating all her energy on the goal in front of her and blocking out all distractions around her.

Another gunshot was heard, and this time the bullet hit the target accurately, sending wood chips flying after hitting the tree.

"Sister, look, isn't this a success?" Xu Ye said with a smile, and he was very impressed with Jiang Ruyue's learning ability.

Jiang Ruyue also showed a happy smile on her face. She turned her head to look at Xu Ye, her eyes full of a sense of accomplishment.

"It's all thanks to your good teaching." Jiang Ruyue said happily.

At this time, the rain outside the cave was getting heavier and heavier, and the bean-sized raindrops hit the ground, making crackling sounds.

But inside the cave, the two men were immersed in the joy of practicing with pistols, temporarily forgetting the wind and rain and possible dangers outside.

After practicing with the pistol for a while, Jiang Ruyue was still unsatisfied. "Besides the pistol, are there any other shooting techniques you want to teach me?"

There was a gleam of curiosity in her eyes.

"Of course." Having said that, Xu Ye pulled Jiang Ruyue to sit down.

Then he took out another gun and put it in Jiang Ruyue's hand.

Jiang Ruyue just lay down and aimed outside.

Now that it is raining heavily, no one and no animals will disturb us.

The hounds lay at the entrance of the cave, looking at the heavy rain outside and wagging their tails.

"It's so comfortable in the cave." Holding Jiang Ruyue, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Is there any danger?" Jiang Ruyue asked worriedly.

The question is, if water pours into the cave, will it drown them?

"No, the terrain here is relatively high, and there is vegetation all around, so there won't be any mudslides." Xu Ye said calmly.

Hearing Xu Ye say this, Jiang Ruyue immediately felt relieved and focused her attention on herself.

For now, let’s just enjoy the present happiness and not worry about flash floods and mudslides.

There are no years or months in the mountains, and Xu Ye and Jiang Ruyue have both forgotten the time.

No one knew how long the rain would last, but it didn't stop as quickly as Xu Ye said.

The sky seems to be leaking.

Fortunately, Xu Ye and his team brought some firewood and a rocket stove.

After the two of them prepared the rabbit, they put it in the pot to stew.

If you want to leave, you have to wait until the rain stops.

"I don't know how Sanbao and the others are doing. Did they also encounter the rainstorm?" Xu Ye became a little worried.

He and Jiang Ruyue were lucky and found a cave where they could hide from the rain.

The same cannot be said for Zhang Sanbao and the others; they may have to rely on raincoats.

Jiang Ruyue patted Xu Ye's hand gently and comforted him, "Sanbao and the others are experienced, they should be fine. It's raining so hard, they must have found a place to hide."

"It's no use for us to worry now. Let's take care of ourselves first and let Yingyong contact them after the rain stops."

Xu Ye nodded and looked at the stewing rabbit meat. The pot had begun to bubble and the aroma of the rabbit meat gradually filled the cave.

Xu Ye gently stirred the rabbit meat in the pot with a wooden spoon. The rich aroma made him swallow his saliva.

Jiang Ruyue was sorting out the equipment of the two people and checking the remaining ammunition and food reserves.

"If the rain continues like this, we may have to stay here for a few more days." Jiang Ruyue looked up at the heavy rain still pouring outside the cave and frowned slightly.

Xu Ye put down the wooden spoon, walked to the cave entrance and looked at the sky. The rain was hanging from the sky like a curtain, and the mountains in the distance were completely shrouded in rain and fog and could not be seen clearly.

"Indeed, the rain won't stop anytime soon." He sighed and went back to the fire. "But we have enough food and firewood. We should be able to hold out for two or three days."

Jiang Ruyue nodded, took out a piece of dry food from the backpack, broke it in half and handed one half to Xu Ye, "Fill your stomach first, the rabbit meat needs to be stewed for a while."

The two men sat by the fire, eating their dry food in silence, with only the sound of rain and the crackling of burning firewood in their ears.

Although the cave was a little damp, the warmth from the fire made the whole space feel particularly comfortable.

The rain outside the cave showed no sign of abating, as if the whole world was shrouded in a hazy curtain of water.

Xu Ye and Jiang Ruyue sat by the fire, quietly enjoying the brief tranquility.

The aroma of the rabbit meat became stronger and stronger, and the soup in the pot began to become thick, exuding an enticing smell.

"It should be almost done." Xu Ye scooped up some soup with a wooden spoon, blew it gently, tasted it, and nodded with satisfaction, "It tastes good, it's ready to eat."

Jiang Ruyue smiled and took out two aluminum lunch boxes and handed one to Xu Ye.

Xu Ye carefully put the rabbit meat and soup into the bowl. The steaming food made both of them feel a lot more relaxed.

"Come, eat while it's hot." Xu Ye handed a lunch box to Jiang Ruyue, and took another lunch box and sat next to her.

Jiang Ruyue took the lunch box, blew away the hot air gently, took a sip of the soup carefully, and immediately felt warm all over.

The rabbit meat was stewed until it was soft and melted in the mouth. The soup was delicious and had a hint of the fragrance of the mountains. After we finished eating, the rain gradually subsided.

However, it was already dark outside.

After eating and drinking, the two snuggled together.

Even if the rain stopped at night, they would not be able to go hunting.

It is also a pleasant thing to watch the rain with the person you love.

For this purpose, Xu Ye also made tea and took out some melon seeds and peanuts.

"It's a pity that An An didn't come, otherwise the three of us could play Landlord again."

There is no point in playing cards between two people; it is worse than shooting a gun.

There was no animal activity at night.

The next day, sunlight shone into the cave, waking Xu Ye and Jiang Ruyue up.

"The rain has finally stopped." Xu Ye stretched and then walked out.

Jiang Ruyue also followed out and was held in Xu Ye's arms.

"Do you want to send a letter home so that Sister Yun and An An can reassure themselves?" Jiang Ruyue turned her head and looked at Xu Ye and asked.

"Yeah." Xu Ye lowered his head and kissed Jiang Ruyue's lips.

When love is at its peak, it feels like no kiss is enough.

The two of them stayed together for a while, and then Jiang Ruyue went to cook breakfast.

During this time, Xu Ye wrote a note and asked Ying Yong to send it back home to Gu Yun.

By the time they were having breakfast, Ying Yong came back.

It brought back a reply from Gu Yun. When Gu Yun learned that they would have to stay in the mountains for a few more days, she reminded them to be careful.

After reading the letter, Xu Ye asked Ying Yong to deliver the letter to Zhang Sanbao to see what was going on there.

For Yingyong, it should also be considered a challenge.

Since Xu Ye doesn't know where Zhang Sanbao and the others are now, he can only hope that Ying Yong can find them himself.

Neither Xu Ye nor Jiang Ruyue left here to hunt, after all, they still had to wait for Ying Yong to come back.

Taking advantage of this time, Xu Ye took out a slingshot and started practicing shooting.

During this period, he would take some time every day to practice his shooting.

Nowadays, his shooting experience points are increasing every day.

Two hours later, Ying Yong landed again.

After a check, Xu Ye discovered that Ying Yong had indeed found Zhang Sanbao.

"What a good eagle! It didn't let me down." Xu Ye happily took out food to reward Ying Yong.

After reading the letter, Xu Ye knew that Zhang Sanbao and the others had not encountered any problems.

Although it was raining there, the rain was not heavy and did not cause any impact.

In this way, Xu Ye could continue hunting with Jiang Ruyue with peace of mind.

After walking for half an hour, Ying Yong found the target and accelerated towards it.

As soon as Xu Ye saw it, he knew it had found its prey.

"Let's go, Ying Yong has made some discovery, let's chase him." Xu Ye said excitedly.

He also wanted to know what kind of prey Ying Yong had discovered.

Xu Ye and Jiang Ruyue quickly followed Ying Yong's flight direction and passed through the wet jungle. The soil under their feet became soft due to last night's rain, and every step was accompanied by a slight "crunching" sound.

The air is filled with the fresh scent of earth and grass, and occasionally you can hear birds singing in the distance.

After circling in the air for a few circles, Ying Yong suddenly swooped down and disappeared behind a dense bush. Xu Ye and Jiang Ruyue looked at each other and quickened their pace.

"Be careful, don't disturb the prey." Xu Ye reminded in a low voice, while tightening the rifle in his hand.

Jiang Ruyue nodded, held her breath, followed Xu Ye, and carefully pushed aside the bushes in front of her.

When they passed through the last bush, the sight before them made both of them hold their breath.

Ahead is an open valley with green grass. Several huge takins are leisurely eating grass with their heads down.

Their fur glowed a light golden color in the sun, and their horns stood high like crescent moons, making them look majestic.

There are several antelope cubs in the herd, jumping and following their mothers, looking particularly lively.

"It's a herd of antelopes!" Jiang Ruyue lowered her voice, a hint of excitement flashing in her eyes.

Xu Ye did not expect to find a herd of takin here, and there seemed to be quite a few of them.

He carefully observed the number and distribution of the antelope herd and found that there were about a dozen antelopes in the herd. Among them, several larger bulls were looking around vigilantly, obviously on guard duty.

"We have to be careful. The takin are very alert. Once they sense danger, they will run away immediately." Xu Ye whispered, and at the same time motioned Jiang Ruyue to squat down to avoid being exposed.

Jiang Ruyue nodded, tightened her grip on the rifle, and asked, "How should we act?"

"Find a commanding position and then shoot. Remember, we can't kill them. We need to take them back for breeding." Xu Ye said with a gleam in his eyes as he looked at the herd of takin.

Can we really handle so many takins?
"Let's kill a few small antelopes first and injure them."

"After beating them, maybe their parents won't run away anymore." Xu Ye told them his plan.

Xu Ye and Jiang Ruyue acted quickly and climbed up a nearby high ground silently.

The view here is wide, and you can clearly see every move of the herd of takin.

Xu Ye signaled Jiang Ruyue to lie down, and the two of them found cover and raised their rifles.

"Remember, aim at the legs and try not to be fatal." Xu Ye whispered, his eyes fixed on a smaller antelope.

Jiang Ruyue nodded, took a deep breath, adjusted her breathing, and aimed the crosshairs at the target.

Her finger rested lightly on the trigger, but her heart beat faster involuntarily.

"Keep calm, don't rush." Xu Ye's voice was low and calm, as if it carried some kind of magic, which gradually calmed Jiang Ruyue's heart.

"Bang!" Xu Ye fired the first shot, and the bullet accurately hit the hind leg of the young antelope.

The antelope let out a painful roar, staggered and fell to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Ruyue also pulled the trigger, and the bullet hit the front leg of another young antelope.

The herd of takin became agitated in an instant, and several adult takins let out low roars and looked around vigilantly.

At the same time, they quickly surrounded the several antelopes that were hit and protected them in the middle.

"It looks like we're going to have another great harvest!" Xu Ye smiled happily and looked at Jiang Ruyue.
