Chapter 33 Eyes on the Goshawk (please vote for me)
As soon as Jiang Ruyue came over, she saw Xu Ye carrying a rabbit in each hand, and she was immediately surprised.
"Did you catch these two rabbits with your bare hands?"
Is this hare so easy to catch?
"Well, good luck." Xu Ye said modestly.
It is not that easy for ordinary people to catch them even if they are squatting at the entrance of the cave, but Xu Ye has improved his reaction ability, so he can catch them easily.
He could actually step on the last one with his feet, but he just gave the opportunity to Hua Hu.
"Great, today's work points have been settled. I bought a hare skin for five cents." Zhang Sanbao said happily.
After all, everyone has to buy work points to ask for leave, and Zhang Sanbao is also worried that there will be nothing to gain today.
In the past, he and his father would go into the mountains during the day during slack farming periods, but there were few harvests and it was normal to return empty-handed.
It’s only been more than an hour since I entered the mountain and I’ve already harvested something. I’m sure my luck will not be bad today!
"Tie them up with a rope. Don't kill these two yet." Xu Ye said to Jiang Ruyue.
Jiang Ruyue quickly found the hemp rope from her backpack and tied the legs of the two hares.
After tying them up, Xu Ye directly pinched open the hare's mouth and broke off their teeth to prevent them from biting.
There is no way to raise wild rabbits, because rabbits are timid by nature and are easily affected by various external stimuli, resulting in stress reactions.
Stress response refers to a series of physical and psychological reactions of rabbits when they are stimulated by the outside world, which can lead to loss of appetite and starvation.
Seriously, you will be frightened to death.
If you raise rabbits, you can only raise domestic rabbits.
After Zhang Sanbao watched Xu Ye's operation, he knew for the first time that there was such a way.
However, they have never caught so many rabbits at once before. They can just kill them directly. There is no need to bring live rabbits back.
Anyway, the most valuable thing about rabbits is their skin, and not much in terms of meat. It’s not even enough for my own family.
[Harvest four hares totaling 13 pounds, hunting attribute +0.13]
These hares are relatively plump. The heaviest one is estimated to be four pounds, which is quite big among hares.
He took out his hunting knife and bled and skinned two hares that had been killed by hounds.
After peeling the skin, you need to turn the skin over and stuff it with hay to hold it up, otherwise it will shrink together and become worthless.
Zhang Sanbao doesn't understand any of this.
Because there is no one to teach them, after all, they are not professional hunters.
Xu Ye came back from the era of information explosion and knew a little bit about all kinds of things.
Don't underestimate this, it is enough for him.
The offal of the two hares was directly used to reward the hounds, so that they would work harder in the future.
After feeding the leopard, Xu Ye rubbed its head.
"Let's go, then go into the mountains."
After a good start, Xu Ye felt that the harvest from this trip should not be too bad.
Leading the hounds, they walked deeper into the mountains.
The mountain roads are difficult to walk, and in some places a hatchet is needed to clear the way.
This visit to Black Fox Ridge is considered an inspection.
If there are many animal resources, I will definitely come more often in the future.
Not only does it need to be a good road, but it may also be necessary to build a wooden house in the mountains where you can stay.
Hunting is never an easy job, and professional hunters wander around the mountains almost all year round.
Of course, the return is naturally greater than farming land.
After all, things with high risks will naturally have low returns.
"啾啾啾"
A voice attracted Xu Ye's attention. It sounded like the cry of a goshawk.
He took off his hunting bow and drew an arrow.
Seeing Xu Ye's posture, Zhang Sanbao knew that Xu Ye could shoot arrows, and was immediately surprised.
What surprised him even more was that the arrow was stained with blood. Obviously, the arrow had just shot something and hit it.
Xu Ye followed the sound and looked over, then suddenly put away his hunting bow and turned to look at Zhang Sanbao.
"Sambo, how about you climbing a tree?"
Zhang Sanbao straightened his body and said with some pride: "It goes without saying that he is naturally very powerful."
"I can climb any tree that is no larger than a circle."
Xu Ye couldn't help but smile, pointing in the distance and saying: "It's your turn to show off. After a while I will beat the goshawk guarding the nest. You go up and see if there are any eaglets."
With that said, Xu Ye took out his slingshot.
Using a bow would kill the goshawk directly, but Xu Ye wanted to try to train the eagle.
After all, he can improve his hunter skills through attribute points.
One of the hunter skills is animal taming.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
There must be a part of taming animals that includes training falcons.
Eagles and dogs have been inseparable from hunters since ancient times.
It would be much easier if one or two eagles could be trained to assist in hunting.
Aerial vision is so advantageous when it comes to hunting.
If he had a drone, hunting would be as easy as playing a game.
The difficulty of hunting is to find the prey. As long as the prey can be found, most hunters can return home with a full load.
"Huh?"
"Why, the eagle meat doesn't taste good, it's hard and sour, and it's not cooked yet." Zhang Sanbao looked at Xu Ye with a puzzled look.
"Have you ever studied "Jiangchengzi·Hunting in Mizhou"?"
Zhang Sanbao shook his head repeatedly, wondering why this little eagle was still connected with ancient poetry?
"I know!" Jiang Ruyue raised her hand.
"I was talking about being a young man, holding a yellow hand on the left, holding a blue sky on the right, wearing a brocade hat and mink fur, and riding thousands of horses to roll around the mountain. In order to repay the beautiful city, I followed the prefect, shot the tiger myself, and watched Sun Lang."
"It doesn't matter if my chest and courage are still open due to the wine, and there is a slight frost on my temples! In the clouds holding the festival, when will I send Feng Tang? He will draw the eagle bow like the full moon, look northwest, and shoot at the wolf."
Xu Ye looked at Jiang Ruyue who was reciting very well with a smile on his face, and couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
"Sister Yue's recitation is so nice!" Xu Ye had an expression of enjoyment on his face.
It really sounds good, with a broadcasting tone, and the mood is right, very contagious, and makes people passionate after listening to it.
He was very curious about where his sister-in-law learned this from.
radio?
In the past, it seemed that Li Dongming did have a semiconductor.
He found that he knew very little about his sister-in-law in his previous life.
In this life, you have to understand it deeply.
Looking back, Xu Ye continued: "Since ancient times, goshawks have been very good falcons."
"The tamed goshawk can not only hunt hares, squirrels, pheasants, etc. by itself, but can also assist in hunting, helping hunters find prey and guiding hunters."
Hearing what Xu Ye said, Zhang Sanbao's eyes couldn't help but shine with envy.
"Brother Ye, can you train eagles?"
If not, there is no need to let yourself take out the eaglet, right?
Zhang Sanbao was a little excited when he thought that he could own a goshawk that soared in the sky and helped find prey.
"I know a little bit, but it depends on whether the actual training can be successful."
"But you have to give yourself a chance, right?"
"Come on, let's get closer. If there is a cub in the nest, it will definitely attack us."
With that said, Xu Ye led the hound and walked towards the location of the goshawk.
