Chapter 164 Teach Jiang Ruoan to improve his marksmanship (please subscribe)
However, she didn't let go right away.
If they were released at this time, if Yingwu really found Xu Ye and the others, it would affect their hunting.
Therefore, Jiang Ruyue was ready to wait until the gunshot sounded.
Anyway, the distance is not very far, if you shoot, you will definitely be able to hear it.
Xu Ye didn't know that Jiang Ruyue was planning to fly an eagle to deliver a message to him. He hadn't thought about this yet.
He and Jiang Ruo'an were moving quickly towards the position where the two goshawks were circling.
"Brother Ye, what kind of animal do you think it could be? Is it another wild boar?" Jiang Ruo'an asked in a low voice.
She was curious as to what prey this time would be.
"It shouldn't be a small animal, maybe a muntjac or something. There shouldn't be so many wild boars in this area." Xu Ye replied.
It takes a lot of food to feed a wild boar.
In such a large area, it is enough to support about twenty wild boars.
Any more and there won't be enough food.
Jiang Ruo'an nodded and followed Xu Ye, constantly approaching the prey.
After driving quickly for twenty minutes, they finally approached the location of their prey.
Xu Ye finally found his prey with his extraordinary eyesight.
Two black muntjacs appeared in Xu Ye's sight.
Sure enough it’s not a wild boar!
Jiang Ruo'an hadn't seen the black muntjac yet, but the black muntjac seemed to have discovered them and suddenly started running.
If he ran away, he would naturally chase him.
Hunting is like that, it's often about chasing prey.
Xu Ye had already been mentally prepared, so he was not in a hurry.
Jiang Ruo'an didn't see it, but she saw the goshawk moving in the sky.
"Brother Ye, the goshawk has moved. Did the prey escape?" Jiang Ruo'an asked curiously. After all, she had no experience.
"Yes, the goshawk must have run away, so the goshawk followed." Xu Ye explained.
"Then shall we chase?" After Jiang Ruo'an asked, he turned to look in the direction of the camp.
You can still see the camp here, but if you continue chasing, you won't be able to see it.
"Chasing, that's how hunting is. The prey is alive and can't stay where it is." Xu Ye made his choice.
Jiang Ruo'an didn't say a word and followed silently.
The two chased for another ten minutes and finally saw the black muntjac again.
This time, Xu Ye saw three black muntjacs.
Jiang Ruo'an also saw it and seemed a little excited.
She whispered: "Brother Ye, black muntjac, I saw it."
"Well, I saw it too."
"Find a suitable angle and spank your butt or hind legs." Xu Ye explained.
After all, if you kill him, you have to get him down the mountain.
If we wait until the people who come down from the mountain come back, it will take too long and the meat will spoil.
Soon, the two men found a suitable shooting position.
After aiming at his target, Xu Ye began to count.
On the count of three, both men fired at the same time.
Two gunshots were fired in succession, and bullets were fired towards the black muntjac.
Xu Ye's bullet directly hit the black muntjac's thigh, and blood mist flew up.
Jiang Ruoan failed to shoot accurately this time. The bullet failed to hit the black muntjac, but hit the tree next to it.
"It's a pity that we missed." Jiang Ruo'an looked at the black muntjac he was aiming at and ran away, and immediately patted his thigh.
"Leopard, come on." Xu Ye ordered the leopard.
After hearing the order, the leopard rushed out and chased the black muntjac.
Today's leopard no longer needs to be tied up on a rope, because it will not rush out or act without Xu Ye's order.
"Don't be discouraged, your marksmanship is already very good." Xu Ye comforted.
"Well, I will continue to improve my marksmanship." Jiang Ruo'an said very optimistically, not discouraged.
"Let's go." After saying that, she took the lead and ran towards the black muntjac that fell to the ground.
The two started running quickly and soon arrived at the black muntjac.
[Harvest 65 pounds of black muntjac, hunting attribute +0.65]
This black muntjac is not very big, so there is no need to bring it down the mountain to sell it for money. You can keep it and eat it on the mountain.
When the hunting team goes into the mountains, they also want to eat and drink.
Running around hunting requires a lot of physical energy, and eating just sweet potatoes is definitely not enough.
The reason why I brought sweet potatoes was to be sure.
If we can't catch any prey, we won't go hungry.
The black muntjac tried to escape, but Xu Ye directly suppressed its body and asked Jiang Ruo'an to tie it up with a rope.
The others stopped chasing. There were two gunshots just now, and the two black muntjacs that were not hit must have been running for their lives like crazy. It would not be easy to catch up.
After tying up the black muntjac, the next step was to carry it back.
However, before going back, Xu Ye decided to do something else.
For example, teach Jiang Ruoan how to shoot.
Jiang Ruo'an took out the kettle, drank some water, and prepared to take a rest.
Having just chased the black muntjac one after another, everyone was exhausted and sweating a little. "Brother Ye, please drink some too." With that, Jiang Ruo'an handed the kettle to Xu Ye.
"Yes." Xu Ye took the kettle and hugged Jiang Ruoan over.
"Come, let me teach you a special way to drink water." After saying that, Xu Ye started teaching directly.
With goshawks circling in the sky and leopards on the ground, there is no need to worry about any prey approaching.
Soon, Jiang Ruoan learned the special method.
After resting for a while, Xu Ye taught Jiang Ruoan how to use a gun.
Jiang Ruoan's marksmanship can indeed be improved, at least to Jiang Ruyue's level.
Halfway through the training, Xu Ye suddenly heard an eagle cry.
He looked up and found Yingwu appearing above his head.
"Brother Ye, is something wrong with my sister?" Jiang Ruo'an couldn't help but worry, and even threw away the gun.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"Don't panic, there are four hounds around her, nothing will happen to her." Xu Ye comforted, and then stretched out his hand.
Yingwu fell directly and landed on Xu Ye's arm.
"Look, there are strips of cloth on its legs." As he said that, Xu Ye quickly took off the strips of cloth.
After taking a look, Xu Ye found that there were words written on it.
"Flying Eagle passing the message?" Jiang Ruo'an's eyes lit up when he saw the words above.
"Well, it's true that the flying eagles are sending messages. I didn't even think of letting them act as messengers!" Xu Ye couldn't help but muttered.
Countless ideas emerged in my mind.
Flying eagles to pass messages is indeed a good method.
In this way, a connection with the village can be established.
If I don't take Jiang Ruo'an and the others with me when I go into the mountains in the future, I can use this to report to them that they are safe, or to pass on news.
Although it is not as good as the mobile phones of later generations, it can already solve the need to send messages.
"We also sent back a note telling my sister that we had shot a black muntjac and we would go back in an hour." Jiang Ruo'an said excitedly.
She felt that the flying eagle passing the message was so fun, and she quickly took out the cloth strip used as a rope from her satchel.
Xu Ye found that the cloth strips were not very convenient for writing, so he said: "The cloth strips are still not convenient enough. Next time we will make a ring on its legs so that the paper strips can be inserted."
Jiang Ruo'an nodded and tied the written strip of cloth around Ying Wu's leg.
"Go back, go back to find my sister Jiang Ruyue." After saying that, Jiang Ruoan let Yingwu fly.
"Okay, Brother Ye, let's continue and go back when we're done." With that said, Jiang Ruo'an lay down again, ready to continue practicing the unfinished gun.
A few minutes later, Jiang Ruyue saw Yingwu.
A smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, feeling that her flying eagle message should be successful.
When Yingwu landed, she was even more sure.
Because the strip of cloth was tied to her left leg before, but now it is tied to her right leg.
After untying it, I found the words Jiang Ruo'an.
But she did not continue to pass the letter, she knew that the two of them must be very busy.
An hour later, she saw Ying Gu and Ying Yong in the sky again.
This shows that Xu Ye and the others have returned.
However, it was still a bit far away, and it would take a while for them to return to this temporary camp.
Half an hour later, Xu Ye appeared in front of Jiang Ruyue carrying a black muntjac.
"Sister, we just shot a black muntjac. If I had known earlier, I would have let you go. With your shooting skills, you can definitely kill one." Jiang Ruo'an said with some regret.
Looking at the rosy-faced Jiang Ruo'an, Jiang Ruyue couldn't help but smile and took her arm.
"Silly girl, the important thing is that you go with me. If you go, your marksmanship will naturally have a chance to improve, right?" After saying that, Jiang Ruyue did not forget to wink.
Jiang Ruoan's face turned red involuntarily, biting her lip and nodded.
Indeed, going hunting with Xu Ye is more than just hunting.
Thinking that I will divorce him soon, I really should cherish it and go hunting with him in private more often, and practice shooting.
"Let me take care of the black muntjac. Let's grill the muntjac meat for dinner tonight." After saying that, Xu Ye took out the hunting knife.
Muntjac blood is also a good thing, Xu Ye is ready to pack it.
In the evening, you can cook it and eat it.
Jiang Ruo'an and Jiang Ruyue stopped chatting and started to help together, learning how to peel the skin.
For animals like muntjacs, you still need to skin them before selling them, so that you can make two cents of money.
We had discussed with the brigade before that the skin would belong to the hunting team.
As for the distribution in the hunting team, who gets the shot gets who.
Therefore, everyone will be happy to hunt prey with valuable fur in the future.
For members of the commune, it is a pleasure to have meat to eat and money to share.
A pound of meat can be sold for 40 to 50 cents, and a thousand pounds of meat can be sold for 40 to 500 cents.
As long as the hunting team is strong enough, it can still make a lot of money for the team.
So they naturally agreed to the distribution of furs.
Under Xu Ye's guidance, Jiang Ruo'an and Jiang Ruyue took turns peeling off the skin of the black muntjac.
After peeling, Xu Ye taught them how to tan with plant ash.
After processing, they began to grill the mutton meat.
"I don't know if they have arrived yet?" Jiang Ruo'an looked at the flames and asked nonchalantly.
She was curious about how the village members would feel when they saw so many wild boars.
