Chapter 158 Leading the hunting team into the mountains (please subscribe)
Early the next morning, Xu Ye and Jiang Ruoan, who had just woken up, hid the paintings.
Xu Ye dug a small cellar under the bed early and placed a wooden box in it.
This way, you can hide something.
That painting is perfect for hiding inside.
Because it cannot be seen by outsiders.
After settling this matter, the two went to have breakfast.
Li Qing went to school early, and it was still dark when she went.
But with Jiang Weijun together, after all, the two of them are in the same school.
When we came back on the weekend, we were together.
Otherwise, Xu Ye is really worried about Li Qing's safety.
Although the current atmosphere is relatively good, there are still many bad people.
Isn’t that Liu Futong from Shangxi Village just a beast?
It's a pity that Li Qing is going to school and it's not convenient for her to bring a gun.
Otherwise, Xu Ye would have wanted to give her a pistol for self-defense.
However, Xu Ye forged a dagger for her to defend herself.
Xu Ye only hoped that Li Qing would never need it and be safe.
After breakfast, Xu Ye, Jiang Ruo'an, and Jiang Ruyue took supplies and went to the brigade headquarters.
Then, Xu Ye asked Li Dongming to notify the hunting team members to prepare food and supplies for the mountains and gather at the brigade headquarters.
Xu Ye asked the breeders to prepare the donkeys and cattle in the brigade headquarters.
Because they have to be taken into the mountains and hunted with them.
"Xu Ye, you must pay attention to safety when entering the mountain." Yang Zongming warned Xu Ye while passing cigarettes.
In Yang Zongming's view, safety is more important.
If something happens, no matter whether someone is injured or killed, no one can take the responsibility.
"Don't worry, Uncle Zong. I won't take them to take risks. They are mainly responsible for transporting prey."
"You guys are ready to respond here, just prepare the truck." Xu Ye said with a serious face.
"We can rest assured when you do things. If it weren't for you, Dajun and I would definitely not agree to form a hunting team." Yang Zongming said with a smile.
The risk of the hunting team is really too great, and no one can bear this responsibility.
The situation in the mountains is complicated. Not only do you need to face wild beasts, but you also need to face changeable and complex weather.
A sudden drop in temperature may cause hypothermia in people.
"Just leave the sales to us. Are you worried that no one will want the meat?"
"As long as they can supply in large quantities, those factories will buy it. If you can't finish it, you can freeze it. Many of them have cold storage." Fan Dajun said with expectation.
A team is no better than an individual; a team can do things with great fanfare.
If you do well, you will be commended by the superiors.
Hearing Fan Dajun's assurance, Xu Ye nodded with peace of mind: "Okay, then I don't have to worry about these, I just need to hunt."
Twenty minutes later, people from the hunting team arrived at the group headquarters one after another, carrying only personal items.
They came to the brigade headquarters to receive food and guns. After all, half of their harvest now belongs to the brigade.
Naturally, rations must be obtained from the brigade.
One person received rations for five days, and all he was given were sweet potatoes.
Rice is mainly used to pay for public grain, and is generally not given.
The sweet potato rice was too big and it was inconvenient to carry it to the mountains, so I gave it to the sweet potato directly.
After everything was ready, Xu Ye led the hunting team into the mountain.
Their target was Woniugang, where there were a lot of wild boars, and there were several herds of them.
If you kill them all, you can get a lot of hunting attributes.
This time, Xu Ye only brought leopards and three goshawks into the mountain.
As soon as we entered the mountain, the goshawk flew into the sky.
As the two women in the hunting team, Jiang Ruo'an and Jiang Ruyue did not need to walk by themselves. They each rode a donkey.
In addition, all kinds of supplies were carried by oxen and no one was carrying them.
Now the four donkeys and eight cows in the brigade have been driven into the mountains by Xu Ye.
In the entire brigade, only one cow and one donkey were left for emergency use.
The team is mainly composed of the Zhang family, because there are ten of them.
Three were occupied by Xu Ye, two were occupied by Mingbing captain Wang Baosheng's family, and two were occupied by deputy captain Wang Dexian's family.
The rest were recommended by Fan Dajun and Yang Zongzongming, and they were all relatively honest militiamen.
These people were all very convinced of Xu Ye.
After all, without Xu Ye taking the initiative to form a hunting team, there would be no chance for them to join the team for hunting.
Everyone was working hard along the way, full of expectations for this hunt.
20 guns, and nine hounds.
Such a big battle will definitely yield a lot of gains.
As long as there is a harvest, they can eat meat in the mountains.
Usually it is too difficult to eat meat, but this time they want to eat it to their heart's content and eat meat as rice.
It was only when it got dark that they rushed to the outskirts of Winiugang.
The vegetation here is still very sparse, and there are no traces of wild animals.
"Captain, do we need to camp here?"
Seeing Xu Ye stop, Wang Baosheng asked curiously.
In addition to being the captain of the militia, he is also the deputy captain of the hunting team. "Well, let's camp here tonight." Xu Ye nodded.
There is no moonlight at night, so it will be more troublesome to continue going up the mountain.
These people only drank water boiled with pine needles for a period of time, and their night blindness has not completely disappeared.
"You heard what the captain said, camp here at night, you clear the vegetation here, and then a few people will come to collect firewood." Wang Baosheng immediately made arrangements.
He was not dissatisfied with Xu Ye, on the contrary, he seemed very respectful.
The main reason is that he also took people hunting, but the harvest was very little.
Xu Ye looked at the three goshawks in the sky, and then blew the copper whistle hanging around his neck.
When the three goshawks heard the whistle, they immediately gathered in the direction of Xu Ye, and then landed on Xu Ye's shoulders.
"Brother Ye, this goshawk is getting better and better." Zhang Sanbao came over with an envious look on his face.
He tried to lead the goshawk into the mountains before, but unfortunately his command was not very moving.
However, the goshawks were not unfamiliar with him. After all, Zhang Sanbao often visited and fed them.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"After all, it was raised by one hand, but it is still too young and can only be used for reconnaissance, and the flight time is not long." As he said that, Xu Ye touched the little goshawk on his left shoulder.
"Then can we catch eagles to survive?" Zhang Ming couldn't help but ask.
He also coveted Xu Ye's three goshawks, but he also knew that he had no ability to train them.
It is very difficult to train an eagle to be obedient.
They couldn't even train their own hounds well, so they all wanted to give their hounds to Xu Ye to help train them.
Before Xu Ye started class, he made a special trip to Xiawan Village to help him and Zhang Xuefeng choose two hounds each.
Mainly because they felt that one was too few, so they all chose two.
Nowadays, the puppies have grown up a lot, but they are much inferior compared to the five trained by Xu Ye.
Even the one trained by Zhang Sanbao was better than the two of them.
"It's not impossible, but surviving the eagle requires experience and a lot of time."
"The eagles that survive can only catch rabbits and squirrels. It is difficult to catch large ones here because there is not enough space." Xu Ye said patiently.
Because there are woods everywhere, this environment is not conducive to raptors hunting large prey.
Hare or something like that is not a big problem.
Xu Ye trained goshawks mainly for reconnaissance, not for hunting.
He knew that Zhang Sanbao and the others were greedy, and he also knew that they wanted their own falcon.
So, he said: "When I go back this time, I will teach you how to set up rolling cages to catch them, and I can also teach you how to cook eagles."
"However, whether you can make it through or not depends on your own ability."
The three people nodded in succession, with expectant smiles on their faces.
They are the core of the hunting team, so naturally they hope to be different from others and hope that they can also own falcons.
Whether it is practical or not is another matter, at least it looks majestic and eye-catching.
If you take Eagle for a walk around the village, girls will come up to you and start chatting.
After chatting for a while, the team members quickly cleared an area.
Zhang Sanbao and the others were not lazy and went to make a fire in the fire pit together.
This place is a valley, a leeward place.
But even in the lee, it can still be cold at night.
One fire pit was not enough. Xu Ye had five fire pits built because he needed to sleep around the fire pits to avoid getting cold.
For a hunting party, staying overnight is the most troublesome thing.
It's okay if it doesn't rain, but it's easy to get into trouble once it rains.
But now I have no other choice but to pray that it won’t rain these days.
They need to sell a batch of prey and then use the money to purchase some supplies.
A waterproof tent is definitely needed.
In addition, a raincoat is also required.
It is impossible for a hunting team to hunt in one place. Xu Ye is preparing for a sweep-style hunting, specifically to hunt wild boars.
Wild boar is plentiful, and its reproductive capacity is astonishing.
Even if they become extinct, they will still migrate from other places.
And it has little impact on leopards, golden cats, and tigers, because they mainly hunt wild boars.
After the arrangement was completed, Xu Ye asked everyone to cut some grass and feed it to the donkeys and cattle.
The cooking was naturally left to Jiang Ruo'an and Jiang Ruyue.
Xu Ye assembled his rocket stove and put some firewood into the stove.
In order to go into the mountains, Xu Ye and the others also brought a large aluminum pot.
Aluminum pots are lightweight and easy to carry.
After getting some water back, put the sweet potatoes in the aluminum pot and cook them.
"You guys stay here, I'll take the leopard to see if I can get some prey to bring back for dinner." With that said, Xu Ye put on his 38-year-old hat.
"Sister, let's go too."
"Sambo, I'll leave the cooking to you." With that said, Jiang Ruo'an put on his shotgun.
"Brother Ye, sister-in-law, you can just go and leave the camp to us." Zhang Sanbao said cheerfully.
Xu Ye nodded and immediately released three goshawks.
It's dusk now, the time when animals are active.
"You should pay attention to the goshawks. If there are three in a line, it means there is prey and you need to rush over." Xu Ye explained.
In case there is a herd of wild boars, a batch can be transported back for sale at night.
