Chapter 34 It may be a wild dog (please vote for me)
When the goshawk discovered that Xu Ye and the others had entered its territory, it suddenly rose into the sky and hovered above its eagle nest.
"This flat-haired guy doesn't really want to attack us, does he?" Zhang Sanbao, who was holding the dog, couldn't help but sneer.
"You can't be sure when protecting cubs. Even if they encounter a black bear, they will try to drive it away." Xu Ye explained.
Most animals in the animal kingdom are protective of their children. Once they feel threatened by their children, they will become very fierce.
This is true for birds, so for herbivores, and so for beasts of prey.
Zhang Sanbao nodded. He had encountered many such situations, and his father also said so.
This is relatively basic common sense, and everyone who often goes into the mountains knows it.
Xu Ye handed the leopard's rope to Jiang Ruyue, and then stared at the goshawk. The slingshot in his hand was fully loaded and the stone was ready to go.
With a "swish" sound, the stones flew towards the goshawk like arrows from a string.
The goshawk was indeed a raptor in the sky. It reacted very quickly and dodged the attack with a flap of its wings.
But Xu Ye was prepared and shot several more stones one after another.
The goshawk was disrupted by this sudden attack and flew around in the air.
When it was panicking, Xu Ye saw the right moment and a stone hit the goshawk's wing.
The goshawk screamed and fell towards the woods below.
"Leopard, go and bring it back, don't bite it to death." Xu Ye shouted.
However, he didn't know if the leopard could understand the words "don't bite him to death".
But if you bring it back, you can definitely do it.
Jiang Ruyue let go of the rope, and Huabao rushed forward on his own.
The woods here are so dense that you can only let dogs out.
When the people passed by, the goshawk didn't even know where it had gone.
"Let's go, it's your turn to show off." With that said, Xu Ye walked towards the Eagle's Nest.
Zhang Sanbao quickly followed and soon came to a big tree.
This tree has a thick trunk and criss-crossing branches, which is where the goshawk's nest is located.
"Bring the rope up." Xu Ye took out a cloth rope and handed it to Zhang Sanbao.
Zhang Sanbao guessed what Xu Ye was thinking and put the rope into his pocket.
Zhang Sanbao rubbed his hands, hugged the tree trunk, and started climbing up using his hands and feet.
His movements were very skillful, and soon he climbed to the branch near the bird's nest.
Zhang Sanbao approached the bird's nest cautiously and looked inside, with a look of surprise on his face.
"Yes! There are three eaglets, all with hair!" he shouted excitedly.
"Put the rope down." Xu Ye reminded.
Zhang Sanbao took out the rope, tied one end to his wrist, and then put down the rope.
After Xu Ye tied up the backpack, he asked Zhang Sanbao to pull the empty backpack onto it.
After pulling up, Zhang Sanbao caught the three eaglets and put them into the basket, and then slowly put the basket down.
Xu Ye caught the basket and saw the three eaglets inside.
This little eagle's feathers are not yet full, but its talons are already very sharp, and its eyes have an innate ferocity.
"What a cute little guy." Jiang Ruyue came over and took a look, with a hint of maternal tenderness in her eyes.
"Is it inconvenient to take them hunting? Will it alarm the prey?" Jiang Ruyue raised her doubts.
"That's not true. There are birdsong everywhere in the forest. The calls of these young birds will not affect the animals, and may even attract them to come closer to see if they can eat them." Xu Ye explained.
Jiang Ruyue nodded, with an expression that was indeed true.
After Zhang Sanbao came down from the tree, he patted his clothes and pants, and then came over to take a look.
Xu Ye caught the three young eagles, then put the things back into the basket and placed the rabbit skin stuffed with hay on top.
Finally he took off his coat and made a simple nest on top.
The clothes had his scent, and he hoped the three eaglets were familiar with his scent.
Putting the eaglet in the temporary nest, Xu Ye cut some rabbit meat and fed it.
At this time, the leopard came back, but it did not bring back the goshawk.
As expected, the goshawk must have escaped.
If you are hit by a stone, you may not be seriously injured, but you may still fly away. Xu Ye gave the leopard a piece of meat as a reward.
"Let's continue looking for prey." Xu Ye put on his backpack and prepared to continue action.
Although Zhang Sanbao still wanted to play Huiying, Xu Ye was already carrying a basket on his back, and he was too embarrassed to ask Xu Ye to play with him.
The three of them continued walking up the mountain, preparing to look for other prey.
After walking for a while, Huahu suddenly spoke.
Apparently, it found something.
Then, the leopard and rhubarb also screamed.
After a while, other dogs barked in the woods.
"I didn't expect there to be other hunters here." Xu Ye couldn't help but say, and then Zhang Sanbao beside him spoke.
"This is Sanxi Village, who are you over there?" Zhang Sanbao shouted in a loud voice.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"Hey, did you hear that?"
Seeing no one responded, Zhang Sanbao shouted again.
Xu Ye's expression couldn't help but change, and he quickly said: "Something's wrong, go and have a look."
"Everyone, be careful, sister, the bullets are loaded, something might happen." Xu Ye reminded.
When Xu Ye said this, Jiang Ruyue's face couldn't help but change, and then she thought of Li Dongming.
If a hunter is killed by his prey, there is no way to respond.
Huahu and the others stopped after calling for a while and kept moving forward.
However, Xu Ye and the others did not let go of the rope, but followed them while holding on to the rope.
After seven or eight minutes, Xu Ye pulled the rope.
"Leopard, sit down."
Zhang Sanbao also grabbed Huahu, and then looked at Xu Ye.
"It shouldn't be a hunter. The distance just now should be almost the same, and the dog barking is gone." Xu Ye analyzed.
"Not a hunter?" Zhang Sanbao frowned.
"Is that a wild dog?" Zhang Sanbao reacted, raised his eyebrows, and suddenly became happy.
Wild dogs are good things!
If it can be tamed, it will definitely be the best hunting dog.
The fact that it can survive in the mountains and forests shows that it has real hunting ability.
After taming it into a hound and cooperating with the hunter, it will definitely be able to traverse the mountains and forests.
"That dog's nose must be pretty sharp. It won't be easy to catch up." Xu Ye said in a deep voice.
"The best way is to set a trap."
"Rhubarb is a female, so I guess that wild dog is a male."
"Should we leave the rhubarb here to catch it?" Xu Ye looked at Zhang Sanbao.
The decision on this matter rests with Zhang Sanbao. After all, there are various risks if he stays as bait.
Sometimes what you catch may not be a wild dog, but a bear or a wild boar.
Zhang Sanbao hesitated for a moment, then looked at Xu Ye.
"What should I do if I catch a wild dog?"
What he actually wanted to ask was how to divide it.
"It depends on the situation. If you can, train him. If he's trapped, it's not that easy to catch him." Xu Ye said directly.
This kind of wild dog is very ferocious and will most likely bite people.
In ordinary times, once a dog bites someone, it will be dealt with by biting it, because if there is one, there are two.
If one is not careful, a child may be bitten to death.
"And the risk is not low. If it attacks Rhubarb without lassoing it, Rhubarb may be bitten to death." Xu Ye reminded.
The ferocity and fighting power of wild dogs must be stronger than ordinary hounds, otherwise they would have died in the mountains long ago.
