Chapter 158: Leading the Hunting Team into the Mountains (Subscription Request)
The next morning, Xu Ye and Jiang Ruoan, who had just woken up, hid the painting.

Xu Ye had dug a small cellar under the bed early on and placed a wooden box inside.

This way, you can hide some things.

That painting is perfect to be hidden inside.

Because outsiders cannot see it.

After finishing this matter, the two went to have breakfast.

Li Qing went to school early, and it was still dawn when she arrived.

But Jiang Weijun is with him, after all, they are in the same school.

When we come back on weekends, we are together too.

Otherwise, Xu Ye would really be a little worried about Li Qing's safety.

Although the current atmosphere is relatively good, there are still many bad people.

Isn’t Liu Futong from Shangxi Village just a beast?

Unfortunately, Li Qing was going to school and it was not convenient for her to bring a gun.

Otherwise, Xu Ye would have wanted to give her the pistol for self-defense.

However, Xu Ye forged a dagger for her to defend herself.

Xu Ye only hopes that Li Qing will never have to use it and live in peace.

After breakfast, Xu Ye, Jiang Ruoan and Jiang Ruyue took the supplies to the brigade headquarters.

Then, Xu Ye asked Li Dongming to notify the hunting team to prepare food and supplies for going into the mountains and gather at the brigade headquarters.

Xu Ye asked the breeders to prepare the donkeys and cows in the brigade.

Because they all have to be taken into the mountains and go hunting together.

"Xu Ye, you must be careful when you go into the mountains." Yang Zongming reminded Xu Ye while handing him a cigarette.

In Yang Zongming's view, safety is more important.

When something happens, no matter if someone is injured or killed, no one can take the responsibility.

"Don't worry, Uncle Zong. I won't take them on any risks. They are mainly responsible for transporting the prey."

"Just get ready for the reception and prepare the cart." Xu Ye said seriously.

"We all trust you to do the job. 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 hunting team is really too risky and no one can shoulder the responsibility.

The situation in the mountains is complicated. Not only do we have to face wild beasts, but we also have 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 there is a large supply, 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 anticipation.

A brigade is different from an individual; a brigade can do things in a big way.

If you do a good job, you will be commended by your superiors.

Hearing Fan Dajun's assurance, Xu Ye nodded with relief: "Okay, then I don't have to worry about these, just focus on hunting."

Twenty minutes later, the hunting team members arrived at the brigade headquarters one after another, carrying only personal belongings.

They came to the brigade headquarters to collect food and guns. After all, half of their harvest now belonged to the brigade.

Naturally, rations must also be obtained from the brigade.

Each person received five days' rations, all of which were sweet potatoes.

Rice is mainly used to pay public grain and is generally not given.

However, sweet potato rice is too big and it is inconvenient to carry it to the mountains, so they just gave sweet potatoes.

After everything was ready, Xu Ye led the hunting team into the mountains.

Their target was Woniugang, where there were many wild boars, and there were several groups of them.

If you defeat them all, you can gain a lot of hunting attributes.

This time, Xu Ye only brought a leopard and three goshawks into the mountains.

As soon as we entered the mountains, the goshawk flew into the sky.

Jiang Ruoan and Jiang Ruyue were the two women in the hunting team. They didn't need to walk by themselves and each rode a donkey.

In addition, all kinds of supplies were carried by oxen, and no one carried them on their backs.

Now the brigade’s four donkeys and eight cows have all been taken into the mountains by Xu Ye.

The entire team was left with only one cow and one donkey for emergency response.

The team is mainly composed of members of the Zhang family, as there are ten of them.

Xu Ye has three of them, Mingbing captain Wang Baosheng's family has two, and deputy captain Wang Dexian's family has two.

The rest were recommended by Fan Dajun and Yang Zongzongming, and they were all relatively honest militiamen.

These people were all very impressed with Xu Ye.

After all, if Xu Ye had not taken the lead in forming a hunting team, they would not have had the opportunity to join the team to hunt.

Along the way, everyone was busy and looking forward to this hunt.

Twenty guns and nine hounds.

With such a large scale, there will definitely be considerable gains.

As long as there is a harvest, they can eat meat in the mountains.

It is usually very difficult to eat meat, so this time they want to eat to their heart's content and eat the meat as a meal.

It was not until dark that they reached the outskirts of Woniugang.

The vegetation here is still very sparse and there is hardly any sign of wild animals.

"Captain, do we need to camp here?"

Seeing Xu Ye stop, Wang Baosheng asked curiously.

In addition to being the militia captain, he is also the deputy captain of the hunting team. "Well, let's camp here tonight." Xu Ye nodded.

There was no moonlight at night, so it would be more troublesome to continue climbing the mountain.

These people have only been drinking water boiled with pine needles for a period of time, and their night blindness has not completely disappeared.

"Did you hear what the captain said? We'll camp here tonight. You guys should clear the vegetation here, and then a few people should go collect firewood." Wang Baosheng immediately made arrangements.

He was not dissatisfied with Xu Ye, but instead showed great respect for him.

The main thing is that he has also led people hunting, but the harvest was very little.

Xu Ye looked at the three goshawks in the sky, then blew the copper whistle hanging around his neck.

When the three goshawks heard the whistle, they immediately gathered towards Xu Ye and landed on his shoulders.

"Brother Ye, this goshawk is becoming more and more obedient." Zhang Sanbao came over with an envious look on his face.

He had tried to take the goshawk into the mountains before, but unfortunately he couldn't give it much command.

However, the goshawks were not unfamiliar with him. After all, Zhang Sanbao often came to visit and fed them.

"After all, I raised it by myself. But it is still too small. It can only be used for reconnaissance, and its flying time is not long." As he said this, Xu Ye touched the little goshawk on his left shoulder.

"Then can we catch an eagle to feed it?" Zhang Ming asked.

He was also very envious of Xu Ye's three goshawks, but he also knew that he did not have the ability to train them.

It is very difficult to train an eagle to be obedient.

They couldn't even train their own hunting dogs well, so they all wanted to throw their hunting dogs to Xu Ye to help train them.

Before Xu Ye started the class, he made a special trip to Xiawan Village to help him and Zhang Xuefeng each choose two hunting dogs.

The main reason was that they felt one was too few, so they all chose two.

Now, the puppies have grown a lot, but they are still far inferior to the five trained by Xu Ye.

Even Zhang Sanbao's was better trained than the two of them.

"It's not impossible, but it takes experience and a lot of time to train a hawk."

"The eagles we have trained can only catch rabbits and squirrels. It's hard to catch large ones here because there's not enough space," Xu Ye said patiently.

Because there are trees everywhere, this environment is not conducive for birds of prey to hunt large prey.

Wild rabbits and the like are not a big problem.

Xu Ye trained goshawks mainly for reconnaissance, not relying on them for hunting.

He knew that Zhang Sanbao and the others were jealous, and he also knew that they wanted a falcon of their own.

So, he said, "When we go back this time, I will teach you how to set up a rolling cage to catch them, and I can also teach you how to train hawks."

"However, whether you can make it through depends on your own ability."

The three of them nodded repeatedly, with expectant smiles on their faces.

They are the core of the hunting team, so naturally they want to be different from others and hope they can also own a falcon.

Whether it is practical or not is another matter, but at least it looks majestic and eye-catching.

When you take your eagle for a stroll around the village, girls will come up to you and start chatting with you.

After chatting for a while, the team members quickly cleared an area.

Zhang Sanbao and his friends did not slack off either, and went to make a fire in the fire pit together.

This place is a valley, which is a leeward place.

But even in the leeward area, it can still be very cold at night.

One fire pit was not enough, so Xu Ye had five fire pits built because they needed to sleep around a fire pit to avoid getting cold.

For the hunting team, spending the night is the most troublesome thing.

It’s okay if it doesn’t rain, but once it rains, accidents are likely to happen.

But there is no other choice now, we can only 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 necessary.

In addition, a raincoat is also needed.

It is impossible for the hunting team to hunt in one place. Xu Ye is preparing for a mopping-up hunt, specifically to hunt wild boars.

There is an abundance of wild boar meat and its reproductive capacity is amazing.

Even if they are wiped out, they will still migrate from other places.

Moreover, the impact on leopards, golden cats, and tigers is minimal because they do not mainly hunt wild boars.

After everything was arranged, Xu Ye asked everyone to cut some grass to feed the donkeys and cattle.

The task of cooking was naturally left to Jiang Ruoan and Jiang Ruyue.

Xu Ye assembled his rocket stove and put some firewood into it.

In order to go into the mountains, Xu Ye and his colleagues also brought a large aluminum pot.

Aluminum pots are light and easy to carry.

After fetching some water, put the sweet potatoes in an aluminum pot and cook them.

"You stay here. I'll take the leopard to see if we can get some prey for our meal." As he said that, Xu Ye put on his Type 38 rifle.

"Sister, let's go too."

"Sanbao, I'll leave the cooking to you." Jiang Ruoan said as he put on his hunting rifle.

"Brother Ye, sister-in-law, you guys go ahead and leave the camp to us." Zhang Sanbao said cheerfully.

Xu Ye nodded and immediately released the three goshawks.

It is dusk now, the time when animals are active.

"Pay attention to the goshawks. If there are three of them lined up in a line, it means there is prey and you need to come over." Xu Ye instructed.

In case there are herds of wild boars active, a batch can be transported back and sold at night.
