  Chapter 157 154: Bird hunting

  Mi Xiaoqing smiled and asked: "Boss, the reserve troops you are talking about are Aying and the others?"

  Wang Tianxiao said: "It's not impossible to let a few dogs do this kind of thing, but it's overkill. Think about it, what else can be used?"

   "Ah, I see, it's Ah Zhen and Ah Qiang."

  Wang Tianxiao nodded: "That's right, if we leave two good bird catchers unused, wouldn't it be a waste of money?"

   "That's right, that's right."

  Everyone nodded.

  Everyone has been in the forest farm for a while, and they are very familiar with the small animals in the forest farm.

  Especially the three dogs, they are quite familiar with each other.

   But the two leopard cats were the closest to Wang Tianxiao, but Liu Yuan did not know what kind of ecstasy drug Liu Yuan gave them, so that the usually indifferent leopard cats began to like him.

  Basically reached the same status as Wang Tianxiao.

   You know, Wang Tianxiao is their savior. He raised them from the size of a child's fist. It can only be said that Liu Yuan is really good at small animals.

   Just do what you say.

  After lunch at noon, when he went to the field again, Wang Tianxiao asked Liu Yuan to bring Ah Zhen and A Qiang to the edge of the field.

  The others continued to work, and he and Liu Yuan were responsible for this bird-catching task.

  In order to make it easier for birds to take the bait, Wang Tianxiao specially sowed seeds twice at each net laying place to increase the attractiveness of the trap.

  The two leopard cats were placed in a cage made by Liu Yuan. They hadn’t been in the mountains for a long time, and they were a little unfamiliar with the environment at first, and they seemed very nervous.

  But when a magpie landed on the net, the two little guys immediately pricked up their ears, their eyes also formed a very thin slit, and their buttocks sank very low, shaking slightly from side to side.

  Anyone who is familiar with cat predation knows that this is their preparatory action.

  It's like an arrow resting on a bowstring, ready to shoot at any time, ready to go.

  Wang Tianxiao patted the cage lightly, signaling the two little guys not to worry for now, it's not time to attack yet.

  Birds are based on the group. There is no danger for a bird to land on the net, and other birds will come after it, and the number will increase exponentially.

   Sure enough, there are more and more birds on the Internet, and the types are becoming more and more abundant.

  In addition to the winter cuckoo mentioned above, there are mainly blackbirds, crows, sparrows and wild pigeons.

   There are also individual small larks, but the number is quite small, almost negligible.

   Needless to say, everyone knows the sparrow.

  Wild pigeon is a common name. Wang Tianxiao still doesn’t know whether this kind of bird is a domestic pigeon. They look very similar to domestic pigeons, but they are gray in color and smaller than ordinary domestic pigeons.

  Wang Tianxiao also saw colleagues raising this kind of wild pigeons in the mountains before. It is like raising domestic pigeons. It is said that they can also mate with domestic pigeons, and the young pigeons hatched from eggs are no different from other pigeons.

   It tastes delicious, and it is a great tonic when boiled into soup.

  Blackbirds are different from crows, but they are actually two different birds.

   It seems that the names of the two birds are very similar, and they look very similar, but in fact they are not only not the same type of bird, but they have almost nothing to do with each other.

   Crows belong to the genus Corvidae, while blackbirds belong to the genus Thrushidae.

  The crow is slightly larger than the blackbird, and the external appearance of the two is slightly similar. They are all black or black, occasionally mixed with a little bit of white.

  However, the body of the blackbird has a more graceful and streamlined feeling, while the crow looks very stiff, as if it is a crudely made thing.

  The blackbird's beak is yellow, while the crow is black, so the blackbird looks much better than the crow.

  In addition, the blackbird's call is also very melodious, comparable to that of thrushes and orioles, but the crow's call is very shrill, like a duck, which makes people very uncomfortable.

  The eating habits of the two birds are also different.

  Although blackbirds also eat some small insects, they mainly eat seeds and fruits of grains, while crows mainly eat some carrion, unless it is difficult to find food in winter, they will look for seeds or fruits to eat.

  The magpie, a bird, has been a symbol of auspiciousness since ancient times.

  People in Qingcheng generally believe that if the magpies are screaming loudly in the trees, it must mean that there are guests coming to the house.

  So the image of magpies will often appear in different auspicious patterns.

  But in fact magpies and crows are close relatives.

   Both birds belong to different subspecies of Corvidae.

   Moreover, the magpie is not as peaceful as imagined, it is actually a bird with a worse temper than the crow.

  Because it prefers to eat meat, its main food is insects and small frogs. If food is tight, it will also eat some fruits and seeds.

   But many times, this guy will steal the eggs of other birds, even young birds.

   Anyway, it's not a good thing.

  Some time ago, Wang Tianxiao was still thinking about how to cultivate the predation ability of leopard cats. This is just right, and this bird is an important part of their food chain.

   Unknowingly, the Internet is already full of birds, and there are at least seventy or eighty birds by visual inspection.

When many birds first landed on the net, they had to look left and right, guard around, and eat carefully, fearing that it might be a trap, but slowly found that they were surrounded by the same kind, and they were all eating enthusiastically, so they relaxed their vigilance and gradually buried their heads in pain. eat.

   Didn't know it at all, hunters have been observing them for a long time.

   "Uncle Liu, prepare to let go."

The eyes of the two met, and they slowly opened the cage. The two leopard cats had been gearing up for a long time, but they couldn't hold back the hunting spirit in their hearts. The moment the door opened, they were like wild horses that had run free, and rushed towards the bird. .

  Cats can’t run very fast, because they have small pads under their feet, so they don’t make any footsteps. When the birds find out, they have already jumped into the net.

   "Wow!"

  The birds were startled, fluttering their wings in panic, trying to fly into the air.

However, under this kind of panic, the net was instantly pulled out of shape. Except for a small number of birds flying away at the first instant, 70% to 80% of the birds just struggled desperately on the spot, fluttering their wings in vain, unable to escape at all. open.

  The same problem appeared on the side of the two cats.

  They ran quite fast at first, but as the birds struggled in a panic, the net deformed, and even caught them running at high speed.

  After being so angry, they turned their heads and bit the net desperately, trying to get out of trouble.

   But this kind of net is easy for people to bite off, but the cat's teeth lack the key locking ability, so they just grin their teeth in anger and pant from exhaustion, but it still doesn't work for a long time.

  Finally lying helplessly on the net, angrily staring at the struggling birds like them.

   I guess I was very depressed. I didn’t catch the bird, and I trapped myself here.

  Wang Tianxiao saw that the dust on the net had basically settled, so he walked over slowly, and first untied all the wild pigeons and winter cuckoo into the snakeskin bag he had prepared.

  Both of these birds can be eaten by humans, and they taste very good.

   Whether it is baked or fried, it is a tonic.

  As for the rest of the birds, he was not interested, so he let go of the two leopard cats and let them practice their hunting ability.

   These kinds of birds are not big in size, but they are very vicious. If you don’t wear protective gloves to pick them, you will definitely be pecked.

   Both crows and magpies like to eat carrion, and they don’t know what kind of virus they have on their bodies. If they are to be pecked by them, it is still a bit dangerous.

   Anyway, these birds will become the rations of leopard cats and badgers, so it doesn't matter.

  Nature has the ability to restrain and respond to each other.

  With this wave of hunting, Wang Tianxiao knew that there would be no birds flying over here for the time being.

  Those escaped birds have their own groups, and they will definitely inform the other birds in the family of the danger warning, telling everyone not to kill birds for food.

  Wang Tianxiao looked at the snakeskin bag, which was only half full, and went to the next net with Liu Yuan and the two cats.

  After about two hours, it was also very fruitful.

   Throwing two crows to the leopard cat, the two little ones didn't know how to eat at first, but as they played, the wildness inherited from the family was released.

   Soon, a crow will become their delicacy.

   Make them officially open meat.

   To make such wild wild animals have the ability to hunt, the premise is not only that they must have hunting skills, but more importantly, they must be full of desire and fighting spirit for hunting.

   Wild animals that have been raised in greenhouses cannot be called wild animals at all.

  Until one day they rely on their own abilities to catch prey and enjoy the joy, they will not really understand what hunting means and what they can gain.

  It was getting late, the sun had set in the western mountains of Yangziling, and the people working in the fields had all returned.

   Seeing that Wang Tianxiao has gained a lot here, they are also very pleasantly surprised.

  All lamented that they finally don’t have to worry about these broken birds becoming thieves again.

   "Isn't it? Not only do we not have to worry about them, but we also have an extra bag to eat." Wang Tianxiao shook the bag in his hand, almost a bag was full.

   "You're lucky, boss." Mi Xiaoqing clapped her hands happily.

   "That's enough," Wang Tianxiao said with a smile, "These guys have made you feel uneasy for days, and now you have revenge, so eat more when you eat."

   "Well, guaranteed to get the job done."

  Mi Xiaoqing wears quite trendy clothes when she is not working, but once she is working, she will wear the old clothes prepared in advance, without being squeamish at all.

  Wang Tianxiao noticed that Li Guanping was standing beside Mi Xiaoqing. Although he didn't look at her specifically, whenever Mi Xiaoqing spoke, he would subconsciously smile.

   No matter how hard the steel is made, it can't match the softness of the girl's fingers.

  Wang Tianxiao thinks that things between him and Mi Xiaoqing will work out.

  By comparison, the younger brother who was lying in the hospital looked very pitiful.

   When everyone returned to the station, Wang Tianxiao picked out all the wild pigeons and threw them directly into a room.

  A colleague at the site used to do just that. He kept a whole room of pigeons, hundreds of them. When he wanted to eat, he would grab one and eat it.

   Pigeons will reproduce by themselves in it, and they are almost inexhaustible pigeons.

  The remaining winter cuckoos are not treated so well. This kind of bird is not familiar at all, and they will steal the young birds of the same kind, so it is difficult to feed them.

  The heavy responsibility of cooking has now been officially transferred from Wu Wenhua to Li Yali.

  Wu Wenhua was still a little embarrassed, but Li Yali was determined not to let him do it again.

   Some time ago, Li Yali was in confinement, and Wu Wenhua’s various delicacies made Li Yali’s body healthy. She was very grateful to this "chef".

  Wang Tianxiao also advised Wu Wenhua not to be too polite. After working hard all day, everyone should take a good rest and just wait for a while to eat.

  Wang Fang also yelled to help her mother light the fire, which made everyone laugh.

  Because there were so many birds caught, it was impossible to eat them all at once, so Li Yali took care of them all, and hung them under the eaves to freeze, except for what was to be done at night.

  Natural cold weather, minus 20 degrees, no worry about spoilage, natural refrigerator.

   There are also some crows and blackbirds and the like, which are kept in cages and left as food for cats and badgers.

   These guys are carnivores.

  Because when everyone was working during the day, Li Yali steamed a lot of steamed buns, and served delicious broth at night, and everyone ate to their hearts' content.

  Li Yali also boiled the wild boar leg that she had made some time ago, and cut a plate of cold dishes for Liu Yuan to drink, making the old man laugh from ear to ear.

  After eating, everyone went back to their houses, and Mi Xiaoqing helped Li Yali clean the pots and pans.

  They are tacit to each other.

  Mi Xiaoqing regards Li Yali as her future eldest sister, and feels that she has a gentle personality and a natural sense of intimacy.

   And Li Yali saw Mi Xiaoqing in the same way.

  She had secretly observed Mi Xiaoqing many times, and she couldn't figure out how such a lovely girl fell in love with her little brother Mu Mu.

   You have to watch it carefully, don't lose it.
