Tang Ming and Mike kept walking up the mountain, hitting the prey when they encountered it, and they didn't deliberately look for it if they couldn't touch it.

When he was halfway up the mountain, Tang Ming suddenly heard a sound in front of him and said, "It's coming." ”

"What?" Mike didn't hear clearly, and it wasn't until the big fat and the second fat appeared in his sight that he understood what Tang Ming meant, he looked at Tang Ming and smiled bitterly: "Boss, didn't you promise not to take them to hunt just now?" Wouldn't it be cheating to do so now? ”

Tang Ming quibbled: "What kind of cheating, I did say that I didn't bring them, but I didn't say that they wouldn't follow, and besides, I didn't think about competing for the first place at all, so naturally it wasn't cheating." ”

Mike protested: "Boss, you don't want the first place, but I think, it just so happens that I have a crush on a gun and I don't have the money to buy it, aren't you depriving me of my rights by doing it now?" ”

Tang Ming said: "Okay, man, don't talk about it, isn't it just a gun, when the fattening cattle are slaughtered, I will reward you well, and you will have no problem buying a few guns at that time." ”

"Alright, boss, don't forget what you said today." After hearing this, Mike immediately died down, but he didn't forget to remind Tang Ming.

Tang Ming said: "Don't worry, I'm not such a forgetful person? ”

After talking about this topic, Tang Ming said: "Let's go, let's go to the top of the mountain to have a look, I have never been to the top of the mountain." ”

With the addition of Big Fat and Er Fat, Tang Ming felt a lot safer, and he no longer had to worry about encountering any difficult beasts, if there was an abnormality around, Big Fat and Er Fat would immediately remind him and protect him.

Half an hour later, Tang Ming and Mike came to the top of the mountain, stood on the highest part of the mountain and looked down, and could see that there was an endless plain on one side and a mountain range on the other.

Tang Ming pointed to the other side of the mountain range and asked, "Mike, does this mountain range belong to that ranch?" ”

Mike thought for a moment and said, "It seems that some of them belong to private ranches, and some of them belong to the state. ”

Tang Ming said: "It would be nice to be able to buy the entire mountain range. ”

Mike shook his head and said: "It seems to be more difficult, the mountain range that belongs to the private sector, as long as the price is right, you can buy it, as for the mountain range that belongs to the Australian government, it is not so easy to buy." ”

Tang Ming smiled: "I'm just talking." ”

After Tang Ming finished speaking, he raised his head to look at the sky, and suddenly saw a small black dot hovering in the sky, and asked, "Mike, is it an eagle or an eagle in the sky?" ”

Mike picked up the binoculars, looked into the sky, and said as he looked: "It's an eagle, and it's also the largest bird of prey in Australia, called a wedge-tailed eagle." ”

Tang Ming said: "Wedge-tailed eagle, I know, Australia has an early warning aircraft called wedge-tail, won't it be named after this kind of eagle." ”

Mike said, "I don't know, I haven't heard of it. ”

"Mike, give me the binoculars, I want to take a look." Tang Ming took the telescope from Mike's hand, looked up at the sky, and soon saw a wedge-tailed eagle with black and brown feathers flying and hovering in the sky, as if looking for prey, the size of the wedge-tailed eagle is quite large, but the color of the feathers is not very good-looking, but out of his love for birds of prey, Tang Ming still feels that this wedge-tailed eagle is very powerful.

Tang Ming chased after the figure of this wedge-tailed eagle for a long time, and was a little moved, and asked, "Mike, how about I raise a wedge-tailed eagle?" ”

Mike said: "Not very good, boss, I suggest you dispel this idea, wedge-tailed eagles are not goshawks, they are very large, not so easy to domesticate, prone to danger, and now is not the time for wedge-tailed eagles to lay eggs, adult wedge-tailed eagles are simply impossible to domesticate." ”

"You don't have to worry about this, when did the wedge-tailed eagle lay eggs, and when the time comes, I can just adopt a small eagle." Tang Ming didn't have any worries that he couldn't domesticate, as long as he had the pool of water in his hand, no animal could escape from his palm.

Mike had already understood Tang Ming's stubbornness, and knew that if he didn't tell him, he could know, so he said helplessly: "It should start in April and May, I don't know when it will be." ”

Tang Ming said happily: "In April and May, it's not just a little more than a month, Mike, let's go, let's go find the nest of this wedge-tailed eagle, and then come over to pick up the young birds and bring them back to raise." ”

"Okay, you're the boss, you call it up." Mike spread his hands and followed behind Tang Ming to find the nest of the wedge-tailed eagle.

They wandered around the mountain for more than an hour, and the prey was a few shots, but the wedge-tailed eagle's nest was not found, Tang Ming was a little disappointed, and Mike said: "Boss, since you want to raise birds of prey, why don't you buy one, such as golden eagles, spear falcons, and goshawks are all sold." ”

Tang Ming asked, "Really, where is it sold?" ”

Mike said: "All I know is that there must be a sale, but as for where it will be sold, then I don't know." ”

Tang Ming said deflatedly: "Then forget it." ”

They had been on the mountain for more than two hours, and it was time to go down, Tang Ming and Mike picked up their prey and began to walk down the mountain.

When we got back down the hill, the cowboys had already returned, and the ground was full of prey, and they were chatting and discussing who had the most prey.

Qin Hao walked up to Tang Ming, looked at the prey he and Mike had brought back, and asked, "Why are there only a few of them, they are all small prey such as hares, and there are not even a wild boar and a deer." ”

Tang Ming said: "Mike and I just went around the mountain, I didn't want to fight with you, everyone is back, let's start counting the prey." ”

After the count, two cowboys named Alva and Andy won the first place, they are the second batch of recruited cowboys, they have been to the ranch for a short time, Tang Ming is not too familiar with them, but Tang Ming also fulfilled his promise and asked them to go to the gun shop in Montt Town to pick up a gun.

On the way back, Tang Ming called Alva and Andy to his side, chatted with them for a while, and learned that they were actually retired from the Australian Airborne Special Service Regiment, they were from the special forces, no wonder their marksmanship is so good, as for why they came to be cowboys, it is because they grew up on the ranch and have no other survival skills, so they can only come back to be cowboys.

And there are many benefits to being a cowboy, the salary is high, the cost is less, and you can eat and live, but the work is a little harder, but as long as you get used to it, there is nothing.

At noon, Tang Ming and the others celebrated well, and after eating, they dispersed, Qin Hao and Qin Sinuo also left, Tang Ming sent them out of the ranch, and after watching their car drive away, he returned to the villa.

Tang Ming looked at the pile of prey at the door and was worried, when would so many prey be eaten, and there were actually a few big pythons, his scalp was numb when he saw it, and he didn't dare to touch it at all, let alone eat it.

In desperation, Tang Ming called Mike back, they peeled off the deer skin, fox skin, and kangaroo skin, tanned it, and put it outside to dry, as for the meat, some of the more tender ones were left, and the rest were dug a pit and buried, if the domestic people saw him so wasteful, they would definitely scold him, but this is in Australia, wild animals are not valuable, and they are not delicious, compared to these wild animals, Tang Ming prefers to eat beef produced in the pasture.
