After lunch, Zhou Ziwen took a short rest, took his tools, called Tayun, Xiaobidian, Xiaofeng, Xiaoyun, and Xiaolei, and headed towards the back mountain together.
Along the way, the sun shines through the gaps in the leaves, forming patches of light.
The breeze blows, bringing with it the scent of flowers and earth.
Zhou Ziwen was in a happy mood, enjoying the beauty of nature.
After entering the back mountain, he asked Xiaofeng, Xiaoyun, and Xiaolei to hover in the air for reconnaissance, while Taoyun and Xiaobudian searched on the ground.
They cooperated tacitly, and soon they made a discovery.
Xiao Lei first chirped. Zhou Ziwen looked in the direction of the sound and found a hare hiding in the grass.
"Step into the clouds, little one."
Zhou Ziwen greeted, and the two dogs immediately ran out and quickly brought the hare back.
Zhou Ziwen took the hare with a smile and put it into the basket.
"Good job." Zhou Ziwen touched the heads of Tayun and Xiaobu Nod as a reward.
Xiao Feng, Xiao Yun, and Xiao Lei hovered in the sky, seeming to cheer for their partners.
Zhou Ziwen continued to move forward, with Tayun and Xiaobudian following him closely, while Xiaofeng, Xiaoyun, and Xiaolei continued to conduct reconnaissance in the air.
Not long after, Xiaofeng hooted again. Zhou Ziwen looked in the direction of the sound and found a pheasant foraging in the bushes not far away.
We can’t let Tayun and the others get away with this.
It's not that they can't do anything with the pheasants, it's mainly that it's a waste of time.
He quickly cocked the arrow, aimed at the pheasant, and shot the arrow, hitting the target accurately.
The pheasant fluttered a few times and then stopped moving. Tayun and Xiaodian immediately ran over and took the pheasant back.
“Well done.” Zhou Ziwen praised again.
He put the pheasant into his backpack and continued exploring in the mountains.
The sun shines through the gaps in the leaves and onto the winding path, forming patches of light.
Zhou Ziwen led his friends through the mountains. They cooperated tacitly and made achievements from time to time.
As time goes by, Zhou Ziwen’s backpack is gradually filled with prey.
He shot hares, pheasants, hedgehogs, badgers, and even a goat.
This goat was discovered by Xiaofeng, who was drinking water by the stream. After Xiaofeng circled in the air for several times, it made a sharp cry. Zhou Ziwen immediately understood what it meant.
He quietly approached the stream, stopped at a suitable distance, took out his bow and arrow, and aimed at the goat.
An arrow shot out and hit the goat in the leg. The goat struggled to run, but the injured leg made it difficult to move.
Tayun and Xiao Budian rushed over quickly and surrounded the goat to prevent it from escaping.
Zhou Ziwen walked over and held it down.
Zhou Ziwen was very strong, and with him holding him down like this, it was useless no matter how hard the goat struggled.
Zhou Ziwen carried the goat, found some tree vines nearby, tied the goat's feet, then placed the goat on the ground and checked its injuries.
I found that although the wound was bleeding, it was not serious. As long as I go back and take care of it, I should be able to recover quickly.
His family has no shortage of meat, and he plans to take the goats back to raise them.
When it is mature, you can make good profits whether you eat meat or sell it.
And this is a ewe, and goat milk is also very nutritious. If it can produce milk smoothly, it will also be good for the health of the family.
After getting a goat, Zhou Ziwen was no longer prepared to stay in the mountains.
He walked down the mountain with the basket on his back and the tied goat in his hand.
Xiaofeng, Xiaoyun, and Xiaolei were hovering in the air, inspecting the surroundings for him. Tayun and Xiaodian ran happily around Zhou Ziwen's feet, making several cheerful calls from time to time.
On the way down the mountain, Zhou Ziwen was in a particularly comfortable mood.
As soon as they entered the yard, Chen Shiying and Chen Qiaoyi heard the noise and walked out of the house. When they saw Zhou Ziwen carrying a heavy backpack and holding a goat in his hand, their eyes widened in surprise.
"Brother Ziwen, what are you..." Chen Qiaoyi asked in surprise.
"Haha, I have gained a lot today!" Zhou Ziwen replied with a smile.
The family quickly gathered around and helped take out the prey from the basket.
"Brother Ziwen, do you want to raise this goat?" Chen Qiaoyi asked curiously.
"Yes, this is a ewe, and it might be able to produce milk in the future!" Zhou Ziwen replied with a smile.
Chen Shiying also came over, carefully checked the condition of the goat, and said: "This goat looks healthy, but its leg is injured. The wound needs to be taken care of."
Zhou Ziwen nodded. , said: "I have checked it, the wound is not serious, I will get some medicine and bandage it."
As he said that, Zhou Ziwen walked into the house and took out some herbs and clean cloth strip.
He first crushed the herbs and applied them to the goat's wounds, and then carefully bandaged them with cloth strips.
"Ziwen, can this goat be fed?" Seeing Zhou Ziwen busy, Chen Shiying was a little worried.
After all, this is a wild goat. It is wild and difficult to tame. It is not that easy to tame it.
"Don't worry! Let's raise them for a while. If that doesn't work, we'll kill them for meat." Zhou Ziwen replied with a smile.
Although he said this, he was extremely confident.
He has level four breeding skills and level three animal training skills, and his animal training skills will soon be upgraded to level four.
These two skills complement each other and give him a certain advantage in taming animals.
He believed that as long as he gave the goat enough time and patience, he would be able to tame it.
After treating the goat's wound, Zhou Ziwen took it to the backyard, found a relatively independent and quiet corner, and simply built a sheepfold with some branches and wooden boards.
He laid a thick layer of hay in the sheepfold so that the goats could have a comfortable resting environment.
"Ziwen, how do you plan to raise this goat?" Chen Shiying asked curiously, looking at the sheepfold.
"Keep it first. Once it adapts to the environment, I will slowly tame it." Zhou Ziwen replied.
"Well, what are you going to feed it?" Chen Shiying asked again.
"This is simple. You can feed it the grass, leaves on the mountain, and some of the leftover vegetable leaves we eat." Zhou Ziwen said.
"The relationship is good, and the vegetable leaves we don't eat will have a place to go." Chen Shiying said with a smile.
“Yes, and the goats eat grass and don’t need to feed much food.” Zhou Ziwen also said with a smile.
"By the way, Ziwen, what are you going to do with the prey you killed today?" Chen Shiying asked, looking at the hares, pheasants and other prey on the ground.
"I plan to dispose of these prey, keep some for ourselves, and sell the rest on the black market." Zhou Ziwen replied.
“That’s fine, our family doesn’t lack meat anyway.” Chen Shiying nodded.
"Well, then I'll deal with the prey first, and you can go cook." Zhou Ziwen said.
"Okay, then you go about your business." Chen Shiying agreed, then turned back to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
Zhou Ziwen began to process the prey. He first plucked the feathers of hares and pheasants, then disembowelled them and removed their internal organs.
After processing the prey, he pickled it with salt and prepared to roast it at night.
As for the hedgehog and badger, he planned to sell them on the black market at night. (End of this chapter)
