Chapter 7: Killing Two Muntjacs
After walking for a distance, Jiang Ruyue heard a sound.

"Yo, yo."

When she heard the sound, she knew what animal it was.

Muntjac, also known as yellow muntjac.

Many deer call like this, and the sounds are similar.

There are more muntjacs here, but less deer.

The black tiger in the backpack also pricked up its ears, with an eager expression.

Eating so much blood food tonight helped it regain some strength.

Xu Ye had already let go of Jiang Ruyue's hand, his mind fixed on the barking deer.

If it is an adult muntjac, it will weigh at least fifty or sixty kilograms.

If you can get it, your life will be improved immediately.

Deer meat is tender and delicious, and everyone in the village who has extra money will think of getting some to eat.

After all, if you want to eat meat, you can only think about it, and you don’t have many opportunities to buy it.

Although we can raise some chickens and ducks ourselves now, these chickens and ducks are used for laying eggs.

There is no supply and marketing cooperative in the village, only in the town.

But the supply and marketing cooperative requires a ticket, and you can’t buy it without a ticket.

When the hunters in the village catch a big kill, the villagers will all get in on the action, hoping to get a piece of the meat.

Not all of them are bought with money, many of them are exchanged for things.

Salt, eggs, duck eggs, chicks or ducklings are all commonly used to exchange for meat.

Xu Ye also wants to raise some chickens so that he can eat eggs regularly.

The two men walked very lightly, for fear of making noise and waking up the prey.

A few minutes later, Xu Ye saw two muntjacs.

They are reproducing and are very devoted to it.

When Jiang Ruoyue saw this, she was stunned at first, and then a blush crossed her face.

Xu Ye carefully pulled the bolt and aimed at the larger male muntjac.

This kind of opportunity is rare and he doesn't want to miss it.

After adjusting his breathing, Xu Ye pulled the trigger directly.

"boom!"

A flash of fire came out of the muzzle and the bullet shot towards the muntjac.

When the sound reached the muntjac, the bullet also arrived.

Xu Ye saw a blood mist flying up and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He quickly pulled the bolt and loaded the bullet, ready to shoot the frightened doe.

Because it is mating, it has not figured out the situation yet and has not run away.

This gave Xu Ye the opportunity to fire a second shot.

"boom!"

The bullet shot out rapidly, heading straight for the female muntjac.

When he saw a cloud of blood mist coming out of its body, a smile appeared on Xu Ye's lips.

"It's all hit, hurry over there." After shouting, he rushed out immediately.

At this time, the female muntjac finally reacted, shook off the male muntjac and ran forward.

Unfortunately, he fell down after running only a few steps.

Being shot at a distance of fifty or sixty meters, the bullet formed a cavity in the body, causing considerable damage.

"Who's hunting over there?"

A voice came from far away, mixed with the barking of hounds.

"Xu Ye from Sanxi Village, who is that brother over there?" Xu Ye responded loudly.

It is easy to hurt someone by mistake if you don't open your mouth, and it is not uncommon for people to be mistaken for prey.

"Zhang Gui from Sanxi Village, what a coincidence."

Xu Ye and Jiang Ruyue looked at each other. They didn't expect to meet Zhang Gui in Yelanggang.

If nothing unexpected happens, they will definitely come. Xu Ye handed the gun to Jiang Ruyue, and then said, "Be careful, I'll deal with the deer first."

As he spoke, Xu Ye dragged the two muntjacs together, preparing to bleed them to remove the fishy smell.

If the prey does not survive, it must be bled immediately.

If you don't drain the blood, the meat will be fishy and taste bad.

[Hunting a 68-jin male muntjac, hunting attribute +0.68]

[Hunting a 57-jin female muntjac, hunting attribute +0.57]

Seeing the prompt, Xu Ye couldn't help but smile.

Hunting attributes are good things, but he has no way to add them to his physical condition at the moment.

In addition, the hunting attribute requires 1 point to be added. If it is less than 1 point, it cannot be added and used. He has already tried it.

He was not in a hurry to add it because he had not yet figured out where to add it.

"Woof, woof, woof!"

The black tiger in the backpack suddenly barked at the forest, obviously discovering something.

Then, the sound of dogs barking was heard in the woods.

"Xu Ye, put away your gun. It's me and Sanbao." Zhang Gui's voice came from the woods.

"Uncle Gui." Jiang Ruyue called out.

"Ayue?"

"No, why did you go into the mountains to hunt?" Zhang Gui came out with a gun on his back and two hunting dogs in his hands.

Behind him followed a sturdy young man, who was also leading two hunting dogs and carrying a bow on his back.

"Wow, he actually killed two muntjacs?" Zhang Gui couldn't help but widen his eyes when he saw the two muntjacs lying on the ground.

He and Zhang Sanbao went into the mountains after dinner. They had only hunted two rabbits and a civet cat since then.

At this moment, Xu Ye and Jiang Ruyue, a woman, beat two muntjacs, and they felt terrible.

"Luckily, we found these two muntjacs while they were mating, giving me the opportunity to kill two of them," Xu Ye explained.

"Such luck... is really enviable." Zhang Sanbao said with great envy.

Two muntjacs, more than 100 kilograms of meat!

The key point is that neither of the two bullets hit the body, one hit the neck and the other hit the head.

Suede skin is easier to preserve and can be sold for money after being peeled off.

Even if you don't sell it for money, it can still be used to make fur coats to keep you warm.

"Uncle Gui, are you going back?" Xu Ye glanced at the father and son of the Zhang family.

"Yeah, I hunted for a whole night and only killed two rabbits and a civet cat. I didn't see any other animals." Zhang Gui said sourly.

The biggest prey he has hunted this year is a 12-pound raccoon dog, but he has never hunted a muntjac.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to hunt bigger prey, but he doesn’t have the chance to encounter it.

Even the two of them, father and son, did not dare to go deeper into the woods.

Now is the busy farming season, and not the time for hunting.

Only when there is no farming work will those in the village who can hunt get together to go into the mountains to hunt, and only then will they have a chance to hunt big animals such as wild boars, deer, and black bears.

When hunting in the periphery, the probability of encountering large animals is relatively low.

First, it depends on luck, second, it depends on excellent tracking ability, and third, it depends on the hound with an excellent sense of smell.

Hunting is not easy, and being a professional hunter is even more difficult.

They are in the Qinling Mountains, not the Northeast, so there are not as many prey.

"Uncle Gui, how about you and your son help carry the three pounds of meat and two pounds of bones back to the village?" Xu Ye asked.

"No problem, just leave it to us." Zhang Gui grinned and immediately agreed to Xu Ye's request.

Deer meat is a good thing, especially for him who suffers from a cold stomach.

"Then thank you Uncle Gui and Sanbao for your hard work." Xu Ye said with a smile.

It’s not that he and Jiang Ruyue can’t carry it back, but they want to share some of the benefits with Zhang’s father and son.

Otherwise, if you meet them when you go into the mountains in the future, you will easily be tripped up by them.
