After lunch, Zhou Ziwen took a short rest, then took his tools and called Tayun, Xiaobudian, Xiaofeng, Xiaoyun and Xiaolei to head towards the back mountain together.
Along the way, sunlight shone through the gaps between the leaves, forming patches of light.
A breeze blew by, bringing with it the scent of flowers and earth.
Zhou Ziwen was in a good mood and he was enjoying the beauty of nature.
After entering the back mountain, he asked Xiaofeng, Xiaoyun and Xiaolei to circle in the air for reconnaissance, while Tayun and Xiaobudian searched on the ground.
They worked in perfect harmony with each other and soon made a discovery.
Xiao Lei made a chirp first. Zhou Ziwen looked in the direction of the sound and found a hare hiding in the grass.
"Taking the clouds, little one."
Zhou Ziwen called out, and the two dogs immediately ran out and quickly brought the hare back.
Zhou Ziwen took the hare with a smile and put it in his backpack.
"Well done." Zhou Ziwen touched Tayun and Xiaobudian's heads as a reward.
Little wind, little cloud, and little thunder circled in the air, as if cheering for their companions.
Zhou Ziwen continued to move forward, with Tayun and Xiaobudian following closely beside him, while Xiaofeng, Xiaoyun and Xiaolei continued to conduct aerial reconnaissance.
Not long after, Xiaofeng made another call. 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 do this.
It’s not that they can’t catch pheasants, it’s just a waste of time.
He quickly put the arrow on the string, aimed at the pheasant, shot the arrow, and hit the target accurately.
The pheasant flapped its wings a few times and then stopped moving. Tayun and Xiaobudian immediately ran over and brought the pheasant back.
"Good job." Zhou Ziwen praised again.
He put the pheasant into his backpack and continued exploring the mountains.
The sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves and falls onto the winding path, forming spots of light.
Zhou Ziwen and his companions traveled through the mountains. They cooperated well and made some gains from time to time.
As time went by, Zhou Ziwen's backpack was gradually filled with prey.
He shot hares, pheasants, hedgehogs, badgers, and even a goat.
The goat was discovered by Xiaofeng when it was drinking water by the stream. After circling in the air for a few times, Xiaofeng made a sharp cry, and 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 was shot and hit the goat's leg. The goat struggled to run, but its injured leg made it difficult to move.
Tayun and Xiaobudian rushed over quickly and surrounded the goat to prevent it from escaping.
Zhou Ziwen walked over and grabbed it.
Zhou Ziwen was very strong, and the goat's struggle was useless when he held it down like that.
Zhou Ziwen picked up the goat, found some vines nearby, tied the goat's feet, then put 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 treat it properly, I should be able to recover quickly.
His family has no shortage of meat, so he plans to take the goats home to raise.
Once they are mature, you can make a good profit whether you eat their meat or sell them.
Moreover, this is a ewe, and goat milk is 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 decided not to stay in the mountains anymore.
He walked down the mountain with a backpack on his back and a bundle of goats in his hands.
Xiaofeng, Xiaoyun and Xiaolei circled in the air, patrolling the surrounding situation for him.
Tayun and Xiaobudian ran happily around Zhou Ziwen's feet, making a few cheerful calls from time to time.
On the way down the mountain, Zhou Ziwen felt particularly relaxed.
As soon as they entered the yard, Chen Shiying and Chen Qiaoyi heard the noise and came out of the house. They saw Zhou Ziwen carrying a heavy basket on his back and a goat in his hand, and their eyes widened in surprise.
"Brother Ziwen, what are you doing..." Chen Qiaoyi asked in surprise.
"Haha, I've gained a lot today!" Zhou Ziwen replied with a smile.
The whole family quickly gathered around and helped take the prey out of the basket.
"Brother Ziwen, do you want to raise this goat?" Chen Qiaoyi asked curiously.
"Yes, this is a ewe. Maybe it can produce milk in the future!" Zhou Ziwen replied with a smile.
Chen Shiying also came over and carefully examined the goat's condition. She said, "This goat looks healthy, but its leg is injured. We need to take good care of the wound."
Zhou Ziwen nodded and said, "I've checked it, the wound isn't serious. I'll go get some medicine and bandage it."
As he spoke, Zhou Ziwen walked into the house and took out some herbs and clean cloth.
He first crushed the herbs and applied them to the goat's wound, then carefully bandaged it with cloth strips.
"Ziwen, can this goat be raised?" Chen Shiying was a little worried when she saw Zhou Ziwen busying around.
After all, this is a wild goat, and it is not easy to tame it because it is wild and difficult to tame.
"Don't worry! We'll raise it for a while, and if it doesn't work, we'll kill it and eat the meat." Zhou Ziwen replied with a smile.
Although he said this, he was extremely confident.
He has level four breeding skills and level three beast taming, and his beast taming skills are about to be upgraded to level four.
These two skills complement each other, giving 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 led it to the backyard, found a relatively independent and quiet corner, and simply built a sheep pen with some branches and wooden boards.
He laid thick hay in the sheep pen so that the goats could have a comfortable resting environment.
"Ziwen, how do you plan to raise this goat?" Chen Shiying asked curiously while looking at the sheep pen.
"Let's keep it first. Once it adapts to the environment, I will slowly tame it." Zhou Ziwen replied.
"Well, what do you plan to feed it?" Chen Shiying asked again.
"This is easy. We can feed it the grass and leaves on the mountain, as well as some leftover vegetable leaves." Zhou Ziwen said.
"That's great. From now on, we'll have somewhere to put the vegetable leaves we don't eat." Chen Shiying said with a smile.
"Yes, and goats eat grass, so they don't need to be fed much food." Zhou Ziwen also said with a smile.
"By the way, Ziwen, what are you going to do with the prey you hunted today?" Chen Shiying asked, looking at the hares, pheasants and other prey on the ground.
"I plan to process these prey, keep some for ourselves, and sell the rest on the black market." Zhou Ziwen replied.
"That's fine. We have enough meat at home anyway." Chen Shiying nodded.
"Well, I'll go deal with the prey first, and you go cook." Zhou Ziwen said.
"Okay, then you go ahead and do your thing." Chen Shiying agreed and turned back to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
Zhou Ziwen began to process the prey. He first plucked the feathers of the hares and pheasants, then gutted them and removed the internal organs.
He salted the processed prey and prepared to roast it in the evening.
As for the hedgehog and badger, he planned to sell them on the black market that night. (End of this chapter)
