"Step on the cloud, go up."
Seeing everyone's expectant eyes, Zhou Ziwen did not delay and gave instructions to Tayun on the spot.
Tayun was already familiar with the hunting process. After receiving the instructions, he took the lead on the spot with high morale.
"Everyone, hurry up and follow."
Behind him, Liu Si's face lit up with joy, and he immediately followed with his team members.
Zhou Ziwen smiled slightly and followed them with an axe in hand.
"Brother Zhou, do you think we can hunt another sika deer today? The one we caught last time was really delicious."
Zhou Chaoyang followed Zhou Ziwen and asked with some anticipation.
The last time he got a small amount of sika deer meat, he and Shen Zhaodi finished it in two or three days.
"That depends on whether these guys come out to look for food." Zhou Ziwen replied.
Hunting is sometimes a matter of luck, especially now that the weather is so cold, some prey don't like to come out.
If you are unlucky, you may return empty-handed.
"Haha, with Tayun here, we will definitely gain something." Zhou Chaoyang was full of confidence.
"Well, Brother Liu and the others are going to set a trap later. You should go and learn from them! Otherwise, people will gossip about you."
Seeing that the guards were not paying attention to them, Zhou Ziwen whispered a reminder.
He was also thinking about Zhou Chaoyang. After all, if he went up the mountain with the guards and did nothing, perhaps others would not say anything in front of him, but it was not certain what they would think in private.
Moreover, since you have put in the effort, you can feel at ease when dividing the prey.
"I know, Brother Zhou." Zhou Chaoyang nodded.
He didn't think of being lazy. The last time he went into the mountains, he was busy with the guard team.
"Yeah." Zhou Ziwen nodded.
For some things, it is enough to remind them once. Zhou Chaoyang is not a fool and naturally knows what to do.
As for himself, he naturally doesn't have to do anything.
With Tayun around, he also contributed.
After all, he still has to command the dog to do the work.
Without his command, can Tayun be effective?
The little one is small in stature, and follows Tayun happily. His chubby appearance makes him look very funny.
Under Zhou Ziwen's training, the little one is very obedient.
Apart from anything else, at least after going up the mountain, it didn't make any noise or run around, but just followed Tayun closely, acting as its follower.
Ta Yun seemed much more professional. After a few months, Ta Yun had grown into a half-grown dog. With adequate nutrition, his dark eyes looked deep. If you looked at them for a long time, you could sense the wildness hidden in them.
“Mmmmm!”
Not long after entering Sandao Mountain, Tayun made a discovery. It turned around and growled at Zhou Ziwen, then rushed forward in an instant.
Before Liu Si and others could catch up, this guy came back with a hare in his mouth, holding his head high like a victorious general.
"It's a hare. What a great dog! Brother Ziwen, you raise this dog so well that I want to raise one too."
Seeing the hare being dragged in front of Zhou Ziwen like a treasure being presented on a cloud, Liu Si said with some envy.
"Haha, it's not that easy to raise a dog. Just go to the village and catch a few and raise them. In my opinion, our guard team could really use a few dogs, especially when we're patrolling at night. With dogs around, we can spot danger more easily."
Zhou Ziwen spoke with a smile.
He was telling the truth. A dog's hearing and sense of smell are many times more sensitive than humans'. Even without training, they can guard the house after being tamed.
Animals that like to steal crops can also be driven away by dogs.
"That's an idea, but we don't know how to train!"
Zhou Ziwen's suggestion made Liu Si's eyes light up, but then he hesitated.
"Haha, if Brother Liu is at ease, I can help with the training, but, hehe..."
Zhou Ziwen raised his eyebrows. He would not do anything that had no benefit.
"Are you willing to help us train? That would be great. I believe in Brother Ziwen's abilities."
Liu Si nodded happily and patted his chest to assure everyone on the spot, "Whatever you want, as long as our guard team can give it to you, we will definitely not be stingy."
"Hehe, I've been waiting for Brother Liu to say this."
Zhou Ziwen chuckled and said, "It's not a big deal. Chaoyang and I are quite interested in shooting. When we have free time, we want to come over and practice."
"I knew it." Liu Si smiled bitterly, but did not refuse.
Although the guards don't have a lot of bullets, they don't use them very often, so it's not a big deal to let them practice.
“Thank you, Brother Liu!”
“Thank you, Brother Liu!”
Zhou Ziwen and Zhou Chaoyang thanked him happily.
Zhou Chaoyang didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to touch a gun so soon.
"Hey, we're all brothers, but the guards don't have many bullets, so you have to use them sparingly." Liu Si waved his hands helplessly.
If Zhou Ziwen could really help them train the dog, it would be of great use.
He doesn't ask to reach the level of stepping on the clouds, he will be satisfied even if he can reach half of it.
Once the dog is trained, it can not only help with patrolling, but also help with hunting.
The latter point is what he values most.
In this day and age, who doesn’t want to eat meat?
Having a few hunting dogs will make it convenient to go hunting in the mountains in the future.
"Let's go, Tayun, good job, keep it up."
Zhou Ziwen took the hare out of Tayun's mouth and let it continue to look for prey.
He wants Tayun to perform well.
Let Liu Si and the others see how much help a dog can be in hunting.
Then you can practice shooting with peace of mind.
Liu Si had let him play once before, firing more than ten bullets, but that was because the other party was willing to be friends with him.
Judging from Liu Si's attitude, there would be no problem playing it a couple more times.
But if it happens too many times, even if others don't care, he will feel embarrassed.
If it were a transaction, it would be different.
He helped the guards train hunting dogs, and the guards let him handle guns.
This is a fair transaction between us, and I don't owe anyone any favors.
…
Perhaps because the weather is good today, the animals hiding in the mountains are coming out to move around.
After Tayun made a good start, they successively obtained several more prey.
There were pheasants, rabbits, and even a bobcat.
Zhou Ziwen had no interest in the mountain cat, but Liu Si and the others were quite happy.
No matter what they caught, as long as it was meat and edible, they would take it all.
In this day and age, it’s good enough to have meat to eat, what else is there to be particular about!
They searched along the way and unknowingly arrived at Sidao Mountain.
As soon as we entered the mountains, everyone became cautious.
They basically stopped talking to each other, for fear of attracting some wild animals.
Tayun seemed to have sensed the solemn atmosphere and slowed down his pace.
As he walked, Zhou Ziwen suddenly realized that something was wrong.
The surrounding environment was so quiet that even the sounds of insects and birds were gone.
“Mmmmm!”
At this moment, Tayun was the first to react. It ran to Zhou Ziwen with its tail between its legs, and circled around him, whimpering as if it sensed some danger.
"Something's not right. Everyone, please be careful," Zhou Ziwen warned. (End of this chapter)
