"Newspaper seller, newspaper seller, here's your chance to get rich! Experienced hunters, here's your chance to get rich overnight! Li Family Zhuangzi …"
The newspaper boy once again shouted out the advertisement of the Li Family Zhuangzi.
There were hunters in Chang 'an City who made a living by hunting, as well as in the other 20 counties of the capital government.
They were experienced hunters who could sell their meat and fur when they hunted wild animals.
It was also dangerous. Usually, the men of the same family would go out to hunt or find a partner to take care of each other.
Winter was a good time to hunt. When it snowed, animals and footprints would be left on the snow.
In winter, snakes needed to sleep, and mosquitoes were gone.
However, there was little to eat in the wild in winter. If they were not careful, they would die in the mountains.
If they were injured and couldn't come back, there would be no herbs to pick nearby, and there would be less food.
Therefore, they would catch rabbits, roe deer, and pheasants. When spring came, they couldn't catch them anymore.
Spring was the breeding season for animals. They had to let the animals breed. It was not right to kill the goose that laid the golden eggs.
Hunters had their own rules, which they emphasized over and over again when teaching their apprentices.
If the apprentice's temperament was not good, they would not teach the apprentice some secret skills. They would just let the apprentice leave, and the apprentice would be considered a master.
Hu Feng was one of the few hunters in Chang 'an City. With his hunting skills, he was 49 years old this year and bought two houses in Chang' an City.
He had taught more than 100 apprentices, all of whom were good at hunting. Many of them were eliminated.
In the past two years, he was lucky and got four mountain guard dogs.
There were five of them in his family. The other one was too old, so he kept it. When it died, he would bury it with the other mountain guard dogs he had raised.
The mountain guard dog he raised was bigger than ordinary dogs. When it was on the ground, it reached people's thighs. When it stood up, its front paws reached people's heads.
The key was that it was smart. It didn't need to be tied up. In the workshop, the dog didn't bite people at all. It also didn't bark when it saw people.
If someone thought this kind of dog was stupid and stole from Hu Feng's family, the dog would teach him a lot of things.
"Master, master, the newspaper is here. It says that they are looking for pandas. If they find traces of pandas, the Li Family Zhuangzi's people will find them. If they find pandas, they will find one thousand …"
A fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy ran over, waving a newspaper. He was very happy.
This was because he had seen pandas before. In autumn, there were two of them. One was big, and the other was very small. They were carried away by the big one.
At that time, the four mountain guard dogs and the bow in his master's hand should have been able to kill it.
However, his master had said that he could not kill the ones who raised the cub, so he brought him away on his own accord.
Since they couldn't kill him, they could let the Li Family Zhuangzi capture him.
"Master, the Giant Panda, One Thousand Goats, and the ones raised by the Li Family Zhuangzi are all living well."
The little disciple passed the newspaper to Hu Feng with an expectant look.
Hu Feng took the newspaper and read it. Sure enough, there was a reward for the Li Family Zhuangzi.
"Alright, alright. If it was someone else who wanted it, I wouldn't tell them. If I did, then the elder and younger ones would be killed. But if the Li Family Zhuangzi wants it, then let's go look for it."
Hu Feng abided by the rules very strictly, but in reality, he should not say anything.
The reason why he relented was that the Li Family Zhuangzi was really good to the giant panda.
They had a separate courtyard, specially found bamboo, and painstakingly preserved bamboo shoots until now.
There was also a floor heater and a hot pool. He went to the garden to see the giant panda, and the panda was clean.
"Call your senior brothers and go with me to the Li Family Zhuangzi to get the reward. Invite the village head as well. "
Hu Feng decided to earn this money and told his little disciple that this was his last disciple.
He didn't understand the freedom of animals, and his thoughts were simple. The giant panda could live a better life in the Li Family Zhuangzi.
Except for Hu Feng, the other hunters in the capital knew about it before noon and found each other to form a team.
The Li Family Zhuangzi required more than ten hunters to set off, or else they would not pay.
At the same time, they also asked the village head in Chang 'an to be a guarantor, and the elders in the county or officials above the level of county magistrate to write a letter of guarantee.
They didn't know why they had to be guarantors, but they knew that the Li Family Zhuangzi was afraid that they would have an accident in the mountains.
Before they set off, they had to go to the Li Family Zhuangzi to register. The reason for the registration was not clear.
Just after lunchtime, Hu Feng arrived at the Baishui Bridge with the twelve apprentices who had finished their apprenticeship and the little apprentice who had closed the door, as well as the four mountain guard dogs.
Li Yi was wearing a white coat with his hands in his pockets, and he personally greeted them on the bridge.
The palace maids and eunuchs were on the left and right sides, and the Winged Knights were vigilant.
"Hu Feng and his apprentices greet Guanglu Daifu Li Dongzhu." Hu Feng bowed slightly, and his apprentices bowed together.
The four dogs didn't move, and their eyes looked around.
"Master Hu, please." Li Yi returned the salute and looked at the four dogs.
He knew that these were the mountain guard dogs that were specially trained by hunters.
In addition to fighting power, this kind of dog was most liked for its intelligence.
How smart were they? Rescue dogs couldn't compare to them.
Rescue dogs were released to find people who had an accident. After finding people, they ran back to report and then took people to rescue them.
Mountain guard dogs were the owners who told the dogs to go home to get something because they were hungry.
The dogs ran back home by themselves and waited for people to give them something. They would then give it to their owners.
When their owners were injured, they could also help catch small prey and bring it to their owners to eat, and then run back to find people to help.
"Li Dongzhu, I am the manager of Yonghe Square. My name is Xia Maotian. Li Dongzhu, do you like these dogs?"
Another person smiled and greeted Li Yi.
Hu Feng and others' faces changed, and the apprentice clenched his fists.
"I don't like them. I hate dogs the most." Li Yi's expression was calm.
"Then why does Li Dongzhu's Zhuangzi have so many dogs?" Xia Maotian asked with a smile.
"Do I need to explain to you?" Li Yi was annoyed. Was the manager stupid?
What reputation did he have? If he took other people's dogs, all his previous efforts would be in vain.
What's more, he couldn't raise this kind of dog at all.
"Master Hu, since you are indeed a person with roots, I will lend you two binoculars. Don't lose them, Song De."
Li Yi ignored Xia Maotian and turned to talk to Hu Feng with a smile.
Song De took two boxes and took out the binoculars.
Hu Feng didn't know what it was. He took it and looked at it. Then, his mouth opened and saliva flowed out.
"Li Dongzhu, I don't dare to take this kind of treasure." Hu Feng instantly thought of war.
"If you don't take it, how will you find the pandas? I asked you to be the guarantor because I want to confirm your home.
There are also some compressed biscuits. Take one if you are hungry. It can last you half a day. Don't eat too much. Otherwise, your stomach will swell after drinking water.
In addition, there are new kerosene lighters, anti-frostbite ointments, high alcohol to promote blood circulation, and eiderdown clothes.
The farmers will tell you what to do. Remember it and then go find the pandas. "
Li Yi told them the things he wanted to lend to the hunter team.
He couldn't let others take risks for the pandas. He had to provide the necessary support.
"If you meet the pandas who are giving birth and there are two of them, the pandas will throw away one of them. Bring milk powder and a bottle."
Li Yi thought of the low probability.
He didn't care about other animals, but pandas were really "cured".
In the world, except for some special religions that rejected pandas as pigs for some purposes, everyone else liked pandas.
Pandas' appearance and movements were naturally cute. Even koalas couldn't compare.
