Cats can't run very fast because they have small paw pads on their feet, so they don't make much noise. By the time the birds notice them, they've already pounced into the net.
"Whoosh!"
The birds were startled and frantically flapped their wings, trying to fly into the air.
However, in the chaos, the net was instantly stretched out of shape. Apart from a few birds that flew away immediately, seven or eight out of ten birds just struggled desperately in place, flapping their wings in vain, unable to break free at all.
The same problem occurred with both cats.
They started running quite fast, but as the birds struggled frantically, the net deformed and ended up trapping them even as they were running at high speed.
They had never been treated like this before, and they turned around and desperately tore at the net, trying to escape.
While it's easy for a person to bite through this net, a cat's teeth lack the crucial locking ability, so it can only grimac and pant heavily, but still achieve nothing after a long time.
Finally, they lay helplessly on the net, glaring angrily at the birds that were struggling just like them.
I guess he's really frustrated. He failed to catch the bird and ended up trapped here. He's really lost his cat.
Once the dust had settled on the net, Wang Tianxiao slowly walked over and first untied all the wild pigeons and winter cuckoos and put them into the snakeskin bag he had prepared.
Both of these birds are edible and taste quite good.
Whether roasted or stir-fried, it's a nutritious food.
As for the remaining birds, he lost interest and simply released the two leopard cats to practice their hunting skills.
These birds may not be very big, but they are extremely vicious. If you try to pick them without wearing protective gloves, you will definitely get pecked.
Crows and magpies both like to eat carrion, and who knows what viruses they might carry? Getting pecked by them could be quite dangerous.
Since these birds will become food for leopard cats and badgers anyway, it doesn't really matter.
Nature has its own ability to restrain and cope with each other.
After this round of hunting, Wang Tianxiao knew that no birds would fly over here for the time being.
Those birds that fled all belonged to groups, and they would definitely have informed the other birds in their families, warning them of the danger and telling them not to die for food.
Wang Tianxiao glanced at the half-full snakeskin bag and, along with Liu Yuan and the two cats, moved on to the next net.
About two hours later, they had also made a considerable harvest.
I threw two crows to the leopard cat. At first, the two little guys didn't know how to eat, but as they played, their family's inherited wildness was released.
Soon, the crow became their meal.
This allowed them to officially begin eating meat.
For these wild creatures to have the ability to hunt, it is not only necessary for them to have hunting skills, but more importantly, for them to have a strong desire and fighting spirit to hunt.
Wild animals raised in greenhouses cannot be called wild animals at all.
Only when they are able to catch prey on their own and enjoy the pleasure of it will they truly understand what hunting means and what they can gain.
It was getting late, and the sun had set behind the western hills of Yangziling. The people who had been working in the fields had all returned.
They were all pleasantly surprised to see that Wang Tianxiao had made a lot of progress.
They all sighed with relief that they no longer had to worry about those wretched birds stealing things.
"That's right, not only do we not have to worry about them, but we also have an extra bag of food." Wang Tianxiao shook the bag in his hand, which was almost full.
"We're in for a treat, boss!" Mi Xiaoqing clapped her hands happily.
“Enough is enough,” Wang Tianxiao laughed. “These guys have been giving you a hard time for days. Now you’ve all gotten your revenge. Eat as much as you like.”
"Yes, I guarantee I'll complete the mission."
When Mi Xiaoqing isn't working, she dresses quite fashionably, but once she starts working, she puts on old clothes that she's prepared in advance, and she's not delicate at all.
Wang Tianxiao noticed that Li Guanping was standing next to Mi Xiaoqing. Although he didn't look at her specifically, he would unconsciously smile slightly whenever Mi Xiaoqing spoke.
Even the hardest steel cannot withstand a girl's gentle touch.
Wang Tianxiao felt that his relationship with Mi Xiaoqing could work out.
In comparison, the younger brother lying in the hospital looked very pitiful.
When the group returned to the station, Wang Tianxiao picked out all the wild pigeons and threw them into a room.
A colleague at the airfield did just that; he kept a whole room full of pigeons, several hundred of them, and would just catch one to eat whenever he wanted.
The pigeons will breed on their own inside, and there are almost an inexhaustible supply of pigeons.
The remaining winter cuckoos don't get such good treatment. These birds are impossible to tame, and they will even steal and eat the young of their own kind, so they are very difficult to raise.
The responsibility of cooking has now officially shifted from Wu Wenhua to Li Yali.
Wu Wenhua was still a little embarrassed, but Li Yali firmly told him not to do it again.
During her postpartum confinement period, Wu Wenhua's various delicacies greatly nourished Li Yali's body, and she was very grateful to this "chef." Now that she can finally get out of bed, she naturally wants to express her gratitude properly.
Wang Tianxiao also advised Wu Wenhua not to be too polite, saying that everyone had worked hard all day and should rest well and wait for dinner.
Honestly, I've been using a source-switching app to read and follow my favorite books lately. It offers various source switching options and different reading voices. The .huanyuanapp works on both Android and Apple devices.
Wang Fang, standing nearby, also shouted that she wanted to help her mother start the fire, which made everyone burst into laughter.
Because she caught so many birds that she couldn't possibly eat them all at once, Li Yali processed them all and hung them under the eaves to freeze, except for the ones she was going to cook that night.
Even in the coldest days of winter, when temperatures drop to minus twenty degrees Celsius, it doesn't spoil easily; it's a natural refrigerator.
There were also some crows and blackbirds, which were kept in cages and left as food for cats and badgers.
These guys are all carnivores.
Because Li Yali steamed a lot of buns while everyone was working during the day, they ate them with delicious meat soup in the evening, and everyone was very satisfied.
Li Yali also cooked the wild boar leg she had caught some time ago and sliced a plate of cold dishes to make it easier for Liu Yuan to drink, which made the old man very happy.
After everyone finished eating and returned to their rooms, Mi Xiaoqing helped Li Yali wash the pots and pans.
They both understood each other implicitly.
Mi Xiaoqing regarded Li Yali as her future sister-in-law, and felt a natural affinity for her because of her gentle personality.
Li Yali viewed Mi Xiaoqing with the same logic.
She had secretly observed Mi Xiaoqing many times, unable to understand how such a lovely girl could fall for her wooden-headed younger brother.
You must keep a close eye on it and make sure you don't lose it.
