Chapter 15 How to divide prey
"If you want to hunt, don't smoke when you go into the mountains. It's best not to bring any cigarettes with you."
"The sense of smell of prey is very keen, and it may smell the smoke from a long distance and avoid it."
Zhang Sanbao was stunned for a moment, and then he put the cigarette back obediently.
In this regard, he felt that Xu Ye was more professional than him.
It won't hurt if you take less puffs, but life will be difficult if you can't catch prey.
He thought about the days of eating meat every day.
The beauty of the village next door was his elementary school classmate, and he had been coveting it for a long time.
He finally persuaded his father to invite someone to come to his house to propose marriage, but he would only agree if he asked for 88 pounds of bacon and 6 yuan as a betrothal gift.
It's six yuan and six, which is available at home, but eighty-eight pounds of bacon is really not available.
After Xu Ye beat two muntjacs last night, Zhang Sanbao saw hope.
If you hunt with Xu Ye, you can get part of the meat as long as you put in the effort.
If you are lucky and catch a big wild boar, you can get a wife.
"Xu Ye, listen." Jiang Ruyue took Huabao and pushed Xu Ye.
Xu Ye immediately pricked up his ears and listened attentively.
Soon, he heard some movement.
After making a silent gesture, Xu Ye took the Hanyang-made product handed over by Jiang Ruyue.
Zhang Sanbao turned his head around, wondering if his ears were useless.
Isn't it just insects that are calling? Is there any special sound?
Moreover, his hound did not react at all and was still looking at him.
Seeing Xu Ye walking out like a cat, he quickly grabbed his hounds to prevent them from messing around.
After a dozen steps, Xu Ye saw an animal eating.
It's not that big, maybe about ten pounds.
Gun or slingshot?
Xu Ye regretted not bringing Zhang Sanbao's hunting bow over because the animal looked a bit like a raccoon dog.
It is easy to damage the fur with a gun and lose its acquisition value.
Using a bow and arrow will cause less damage to the fur.
Heartbroken, Xu Ye took out his slingshot from his pocket and put a stone on it.
Because he can aim at its head, and if he can hit its head hard, the probability of taking it down is still very high.
Bullets are also limited. If this little animal can't move without a gun, try to use it as little as possible.
"Bang!" The moment the stone was thrown out, Xu Ye also rushed out.
Thirty steps away, this distance is still very close.
Xu Ye's shot was very accurate, and the stone hit the prey's head directly.
Out of instinctive reaction, it jumped on the spot.
Then it started spinning in circles.
Xu Ye was immediately happy and rushed forward quickly.
"Squeak..."
He stepped on the opponent's tail.
What a raccoon dog!
Xu Ye grinned, stepped on it and tried to bite his head.
"Sister Yue, hunting knife." Xu Ye turned around and called.
Jiang Ruyue, who had been waiting for the opportunity to move, rushed out, moving as nimble as a deer.
"Brother Ye is so awesome. This is a raccoon dog. He took it down without even using a gun." Zhang Sanbao, who was following, looked envious.
This raccoon has nothing to do with him, after all, he has no power at all.
Jiang Ruyue discovered it first, and then Xu Ye took action.
"Luckily, the slingshot hit his head and made it spin in place." Xu Ye grinned and was in a great mood.
[Hunting a 12-pound raccoon dog, hunting attribute +0.12]
After glancing at the prompts and panels, he found that his hunting attribute was already 1.49.
After thinking about it, he decided that he didn't want to save anymore, so he had to improve himself first.
What I just discovered is actually not Jiang Ruyue, but Hua Leopard.
After Huabao reacted, Jiang Ruyue pushed Xu Ye.
For the time being, you can still rely on its hearing and smell, but you have to rely on your own vision.
"System, vision +1 attribute point."
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 happy and found that this was what he had guessed.
While he was happy, Xu Ye mentioned the raccoon dog whose veins he had cut.
The hounds quickly gathered around and licked the blood on the ground.
"I must like this raccoon skin buying station. Last year, my dad took one and exchanged it for three yuan and a few meat tickets. He was very happy." Zhang Sanbao said with great envy.
The purchasing power of three yuan now is quite powerful. After all, a pound of pork belly is only 5 cents, a pound of fat is only 8 cents, and a pound of rice is only 12 cents.
However, this is all under the premise of having a ticket.
Without a ticket, you can't buy it.
Unless, buy it at a high price on the black market.
Envy was envy, Zhang Sanbao didn't say much.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
This was Xu Ye's achievement based on his ability, and it had nothing to do with him.
Now he was just looking forward to encountering a wild boar, so that he could have a chance to shoot.
He was thinking about whether to distance himself from Xu Ye.
Originally, his father meant the same thing. They were separated by more than ten meters so that they could take care of each other, but they could also act independently.
After thinking about it, he decided to hang out with Xu Ye.
He may not be able to find prey, and he is alone, so he is a little afraid.
Distance cannot be controlled by you. It is common for people to go astray in the woods.
After draining the blood, Xu Ye put the raccoon dog into the basket on his back.
Jiang Ruyue hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Xu Ye, how should we divide this?"
She felt that since she had brought Zhang Sanbao into the mountains, they definitely couldn't fight each other.
"What's the point? This is Brother Ye's fault. It has nothing to do with me."
"Everyone goes hunting in the mountains and we are divided according to the amount of effort. I didn't fire a single shot and I didn't find the raccoon dog. How can we tell the difference?" Zhang Sanbao said very simply.
He could still carry it clearly. He followed Xu Ye mainly because he wanted to learn some hunting skills.
The raccoon dog just now made Zhang Sanbao more determined. They were all resting together, but Xu Ye could hear the noise and go there without even needing a hound.
If he had this ability, why would he worry about not being able to catch prey in the mountains?
Jiang Ruyue glanced at Xu Ye and wondered whether this division was appropriate.
Anyway, it sounds like there's nothing wrong with it.
But Xu Ye didn't think so, because he thought more.
Zhang Sanbao is physically strong and has a simple mind. He is a very good deputy.
Hunting is a hard work, and you may get stuck in the mountains if you are not careful.
It is not easy to find a reliable deputy, and Zhang Sanbao is an ideal candidate.
Moreover, the Zhang family has a large 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.
No prey was caught once or twice, but when there were more prey, the Li family's creditors would come.
He doesn't want all his gains to be used to pay off his debts. What will his family eat after paying off his debts?
So, Xu Ye spoke.
"Originally, my sister-in-law and I had a 50-50 agreement because she lent me the gun and was responsible for the bullets."
"But now that we are three people, it is not appropriate to divide us like this."
"This is what I think. From now on, the person who knocks down the prey will get half of it, and the other half will be divided equally among the others."
Jiang Ruyue couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Did you share it equally with yourself before?
How come you don’t know what happened when?
She met Xu Ye's eyes and subconsciously wanted to defend herself.
But after thinking about it, I understood the deep meaning of Xu Ye's actions.
He wants to protect his reputation.
He didn't want the villagers to chew on him behind his back, and he didn't want his family and sister to be dragged into the water.
Bringing his wife to the door to help him, the impact would be huge if word spread.
If it's not done right, it's a crime of hooliganism.
If you follow the hunt and get a share, that's not a gang.
This is simply taking him hunting and helping his husband's family, which is a kinship.
