Animals living in a place for a long time must be very familiar with the climate of this place. Thus, they had the ability to avoid the rain. After all, no animal living on land would like to be drenched in the rain unless they could not avoid it. As long as there was a possibility, they would not choose to take the initiative to be drenched in the rain.
Of course, animals like hippos, water buffaloes, and capybaras that often soaked in the water were naturally not afraid of the rain. They should not avoid the rain. Instead, they liked the feeling of being drenched in the rain. This was related to the species of the animal. In addition, from the fur of the animal, one could tell whether an animal liked the rain. For example, the body of a hippopotamus was smooth and very suitable for soaking in the water. Moreover, no matter how long it soaked in the water, its skin would not change much. For animals like lions, the fur on their bodies was very unsuitable for soaking in the water, so they did not like to be drenched in the rain.
The human body was relatively smooth, but people still needed to wear clothes. Moreover, the long history of civilization had caused the human body to be far weaker than that of animals. As a result, humans also didn't like to get wet in the rain. If they accidentally got wet in the rain and didn't dry their clothes in time, it was very easy for them to catch a cold, causing great harm to their bodies.
The valley in front of him was neither big nor small. The animals living nearby could choose to settle down in other valleys and then take advantage of the time when it was not raining to come to this valley to forage. There were better leaves and grass here, and there were also many insects.
When he passed by the valley just now, he did not find a single bird, but he saw insects on the leaves. As long as there were insects, theoretically, there would definitely be birds. The reason why he did not find any birds was entirely because the birds knew when it would rain and ran to other valleys in advance. The wings of birds were most afraid of rain. No birds liked to be drenched in the rain. If the rain was too heavy, the birds would also get sick. Moreover, after the wings were wet, the resistance to flight would increase correspondingly. It was very disadvantageous for flight, and it would even cause the birds to get tired too early, thus reducing the flying time.
The rainstorm hit the ground and set off a strong smell of soil. Ang Lee could smell the strong smell of soil from more than ten meters away. Of course, it was also mixed with the smell of grass and leaves. There was even a trace of the fragrance of flowers, which made people feel very relaxed.
As the rainstorm fell, the temperature in the valley also dropped a lot. The wind that blew over was cold, making people feel very comfortable.
Under such circumstances, if there was a pavilion in the valley that could shelter from the rain, sitting in the pavilion and playing the zither, with a little maid emitting a fragrance beside him, that would be perfect.
Ang Lee's eyes slightly closed. He imagined that there was a pavilion in the valley in front of him, and he was sitting in the pavilion, listening to the sound of the rainstorm outside, gently playing the zither, Yun 'er and a few people in charge of serving him.. one rubbing his shoulders, one rubbing his legs, one, one, making tea, and finally one to dance to his tune in the pavilion.....
...................................................................
In the valley, it was very easy to build a pavilion. It only took one or two days to complete. The zither and the maid were ready-made. As for the rain and the beautiful scenery, there was never a lack of it in the valley. Thus, Ang Lee could naturally enjoy it.
"Big Brother, a few groups of people have returned. There are a lot of prey in the forest ahead. Moreover, it is very suitable for hunting. The soldiers will surround and drive the prey away from three sides. The prey will only have one escape route. We can use this escape route to hunt and kill as much prey as we want."
Li Feiyu began to speak, breaking Ang Lee's dream.
"Okay, let the soldiers get ready. Immediately go to the forest to drive the prey away. We will go to the hunting point to ambush."
Ang Lee stood up and led Li Feiyu to the hunting point.
The hunting valley was chosen randomly. As long as there was prey in it, it was enough. However, by using the method of hunting, the prey that could be hunted were larger, that is, land animals that did not have caves and could not fly.
Hunting had no effect on birds because birds could fly far away. It also had no effect on animals such as mice, rabbits, and squirrels because rabbits would hide in caves and squirrels would hide in tree holes. No matter how you tried to control them, they would not be driven to a fixed place.
Larger animals such as goats, foxes, and deer that foraged in the forest were easier to drive away and were also the easiest to hunt.
Ang Lee asked his soldiers to drive away a forest because he wanted to hunt larger animals. This way, there would be enough meat to take back and make delicious food.
Wild animals had a superior taste due to their large amount of exercise. For example, the taste of wild goats was definitely much more fragrant than that of domesticated goats. The taste of pheasants was definitely better than that of domesticated chickens, and it was far better than that of the broiler chickens produced in the farms.
The quality of the broiler chickens produced in the farms of later generations was simply terrible. It was simply difficult to swallow. The feeling of eating the chicken was similar to eating cotton. It was simply suffering. Even if a lot of seasonings were added, it was difficult to change the terrible taste of the chicken.
No matter what food, as long as it was high-yield, it must taste terrible. This was almost a law. The broiler chickens in the farms, high-yield rice and soybeans were simply terrible to death.
Not only animal and plant products, but even people were the same. High-yield college students had greatly reduced their ability. It was simply a waste of the country's resources.
Ang Lee did not like anything that was high-yield, and artificially farmed products were inevitably high-yield. Therefore, the delicious food was always wild.
This time, in addition to wanting to relax, there was also a very important reason for coming out to hunt. It was to hunt some game to improve their meals.
Of course, it was also possible to buy game directly from the port town. However, game bought from the market was far less interesting than hunting by oneself. Moreover, it was much fresher.
One hundred soldiers, divided into many groups, surrounded the entire forest. They frightened all kinds of prey and made them escape in one direction so that Ang Lee could hunt them.
Ang Lee, Li Feiyu, and a few soldiers blocked the path that the prey had to take to escape. As soon as the driven prey appeared, they would immediately start hunting.
The sound of the bugle horn was everywhere. These sounds formed a wall that made the surrounded prey not dare to cross. They could only choose to break out from the direction where the bugle horn did not sound. This happened to be in front of Ang Lee and the others.
"Big Brother, the prey is coming. There are quite a lot of them. There are two groups and a few scattered ones. "
Li Feiyu saw the prey with the binoculars and said.
"Give it to me. Let me see."
Ang Lee grabbed the binoculars and carefully observed the prey that was approaching in a panic.
"A group of antelopes, about 30 animals, a group of goats, more than 20 animals, two foxes, and three jackals. Haha! There are really a lot of them! "
Ang Lee was very excited. With so many prey, it would be a great harvest if they all hunted. Of course, Ang Lee would not be so cruel. If all the animals in a group were hunted, then the group would not exist. This was not in line with the sustainable development of wildlife resources. It was enough to hunt some prey.
"Kill six goats and ten antelopes. Don't kill the young ones. Take all the foxes and kill all the jackals."
Ang Lee arranged.
"Big Brother, the prey is in front of us. Why do we let most of them go? Isn't it better to kill them all?"
Li Feiyu said.
Li An said, "We don't need to hunt so many prey. If we wipe out the entire tribe in one go, this tribe won't be able to continue reproducing. There won't be any more prey in this valley, and the hunters nearby won't have a good time."
"Big Brother is so kind. You even consider the lives of the nearby hunters. Okay! You guys hunt two antelopes each. You guys hunt two goats each. Remember, only hunt adult ones. Big Brother, foxes and jackals are the most difficult to hunt. Let's do it together! "
Li Feiyu arranged the task.
Li An nodded and said, "Get ready, the prey is about to deliver itself to our doorstep."
Soon, a large group of driven prey rushed into the escape path in a panic, preparing to escape to another valley. Ang Lee and the others had already drawn their bows and aimed at them.
"Everyone, split up. Quick!"
Ang Lee ordered loudly and let the soldiers split up. Then, he quickly jumped out and ran towards the two foxes.
Among all the prey, foxes were the most difficult to hunt because compared to antelopes and goats, foxes were too small. The probability of hitting a large target and a small target was naturally different. The difference was still very big.
In addition, foxes' reaction speed and cunning greatly exceeded that of herbivorous goats and antelopes. They were much more powerful than jackals. Therefore, they were the most difficult prey to hunt, and Ang Lee liked to hunt these most difficult prey the most.
Sure enough, just as Ang Lee rushed over, before the other prey could react, the two snow-white foxes immediately turned and fled. Their reaction speed was so fast that Ang Lee was shocked.
However, no matter how fast the fox ran, it was impossible for it to outrun an arrow. Ang Lee made a prompt decision and aimed at the fox before shooting.
Because he did not have time to aim, the arrow did not hit the fox. Instead, it shot in front of the fox's escape route, causing the fox to stop in fear.
However, a fox was a fox. It was very cunning. After it was forced to stop, it immediately changed its direction of escape. Its nimble movements surprised Ang Lee.
However, Ang Lee's archery had been practiced for a long time. It was not ordinary. Why would he worry about not being able to hit the fox? Another arrow was shot. This time, his luck was very good. He hit one of the beasts that was at the back.
The fox running in front saw that its companion was shot and stopped hesitantly. However, after a moment of hesitation, it turned and fled. Unfortunately, this moment of hesitation gave Ang Lee the opportunity to shoot the fox the moment it escaped.
Just like that, the two foxes became Ang Lee's prey. Although the entire hunting process was exciting, it took very little time. The results of the rest of the people were equally brilliant. They all completed their missions and successfully obtained six goats, ten antelopes, and three jackals.
"Not bad. Everyone completed the mission very well. Come, everyone has worked hard. Let's kill an antelope and eat our fill before returning."
Ang Lee said happily.
All the soldiers were very happy. However, cooking required a certain amount of time. Not only did they need to slaughter and cut the antelope, but they also needed to find dry wood and withered grass. It would take at least an hour to cook the antelope meat.
Ang Lee was tired from playing and needed a good rest. However, there were still many soldiers who had not played enough, especially the soldiers in charge of chasing the prey. They did not catch a single prey.
"Those who want to hunt, form groups of five and hunt within 2.5 kilometers. You must return within two hours. Go!"
Li An gave the order for the soldiers to move freely, allowing them to relax in the forest and satisfy their craving for hunting.
Out of the hundred soldiers, sixty to seventy had left. Only twenty to thirty were left to guard and work. Slaughtering and cutting the antelope was rather time-consuming and required many soldiers to complete it.
Ang Lee tied a net between two trees. He entered the net and lay in it with his eyes closed to rest. This kind of net was very common in the future. It was a necessary artifact for daily leisure and exploration in the wild.
This was because there was the threat of wild beasts in the wild. If one slept on the ground, it was very likely that they would be ambushed by wild beasts. Furthermore, humans could not sleep in trees like birds. Therefore, sleeping in a suspended net was the safest. This was just like how spiders were relatively safe when they slept on a net.
"Big Brother, is it really comfortable for you to sleep in this rope? It looks like a cocoon. "
Li Feiyu stood at the side and said.
"It's comfortable. Of course it's comfortable. This swaying is very comfortable. Help me sway it a few times."
Ang Lee closed his eyes and sniffed the fragrance of the antelope meat with his nose.
When they set off, they had already thought of eating in the wild. Therefore, they had brought the most basic seasoning. They even brought a lot of snacks to prevent themselves from starving on the way.
The antelope was relatively large. Its internal organs and meat could be eaten. Different parts were made into different delicacies. The internal organs were stir-fried with chili. The meat of the limbs was cooked in a large pot with enough seasoning. As for the ribs, they were roasted over the bonfire. As they roasted, they added oil and seasoning. The fragrance could be smelled from afar.
