Chapter 6 Hunting
It only took about an hour for a lunch and a break, and during this short break, Meron learned a lot and felt a lot.
First of all, in terms of clothing, civilians are simple clothes made of animal skins, and some ordinary people whose families are not wealthy do not have many animal skins, but they just cover the vital points.
It's like the kind of animal skin clothes of the guards, which can already be regarded as animal skin hardcovers.
Something like Yalina, which is half fabric and half animal skin, is not a formal attire, but it is not something that anyone can wear.
As for coarse cloth clothes, only real nobles can afford to wear them, and they are generally popular among small nobles, and muslin clothes like Meron are definitely the best clothes of the top.
In terms of food, the staple food of civilians is dumplings made of bran, and this does not guarantee that they can be eaten all year round.
Yalina can carry a few thin slices of black bread, and belongs to the ranks of opening small stoves, regardless of the state of the castle, the treatment of the viscount's fiancΓ©e naturally cannot be the same as that of the people of the escort, there must always be a distinction.
Of course, Yalina's treatment is more than that, but for some reason, she doesn't enjoy all of that preferential treatment.
There is also a particularly important news, there are very few women like Yalina who participate in hunting and even fighting, almost none, at least in the perception of everyone, this is definitely unique, which is exactly what Meron expected.
Ordinary women, rich ladies, stay in the castle and do nothing.
If the conditions are poor, they will help with some housework, and if they are worse, like the women of civilian families, they are responsible for farm work in addition to housework.
There is another problem, which is also one that Meron pays the most attention to, and that is the equipment problem.
The equipment of this guard is already considered to be of the upper and middle grade, second only to the elite who kill the enemy on the battlefield.
Each one had a spear, a short spear, and some were equipped with bows and arrows.
Of course, this bow and arrow is very simple, the killing range is only more than 20 meters and less than 30 meters, and the arrow is not the kind of metal head, but a very hard wood, even if this kind of bow and arrow is within the range, the killing is very limited.
The last point, the hunting method here, really opened Meron's eyes.
"You usually drive your prey to the ambush circle and then hunt it?" Listening to O'Neid's detailed explanation, Meron asked, and his mind couldn't help but think of the savage hunting picture that once appeared on the screen.
"Yes, Lord Viscount." O'Neid replied respectfully.
"Isn't that inefficient?" The corners of Meron's mouth twitched, and he asked tentatively.
No wonder so many people beat a goat and a rabbit in the morning, and everyone was so happy that they couldn't close their mouths......
You must know that there are many prey in this world, and you can encounter some of them by walking around.
"Well, Lord Viscount, if this is not the case, it will be difficult for us to catch the prey, if the distance is long, even if our weapons can be thrown over, they will not be lethal, and we will not be able to catch up with ......" Oneid paused, a little difficult to answer, and could only say truthfully.
This way of hunting has been done since ancient times, and now that Meron asks this kind of thing, O'Neid only thinks that Meron is a noble son, who grew up in a castle and doesn't know what hunting is.
For this kind of ignorant idiot, O'Neid is despised, if Meron is not his immediate boss, but still a viscount, O'Neid is too lazy to talk to this kind of person.
Yalina also rolled her eyes at Meron, although she didn't say anything, but the meaning was self-evident.
Meron didn't pay attention to everyone's reactions, he couldn't popularize the experience of the previous life with them, and it was estimated that no one would believe him if he said it.
"Let's go, I'll go with you to have a look." After thinking about it for a moment, Meron spoke.
Some advanced technical things can only be slowly taught to these people in actual combat, otherwise it will be absolutely difficult for O'Neid and others to accept.
As he walked, he thought about how to teach everyone advanced hunting methods, and suddenly felt someone looking at him, and when he turned his head, he saw that Yalina was looking at him with a strange look.
After checking it, except for a big hole on the clothes, which is not very beautiful, it is still good overall, and there is nothing wrong with it, Meron opened his mouth and wondered, "What's wrong?" β
"You're tired from hunting, are you sure you want to come with us?"
"Well, it should be possible, you can become a master as a girl, even if I am not as good, I won't hold back." Meron was a little helpless, it seemed that he was very bad in the eyes of Yalina.
Yalina pursed her delicate little mouth and snorted coldly, "I'm not a noble young master like you who grew up in the castle. β
Without waiting for Meron to react, Yalina quickly took a few steps forward, looking like she didn't care about Meron, but still whispered to a member of the escort team to let him take care of Meron.
All this is done very obscurely, and if it weren't for Meron's super perception, he wouldn't have been able to find it.
"Looks like this chick isn't as cold as it seems." Smiling slightly, Meron muttered softly, and began to chat with the members of the escort team around him, asking about some things he wanted to know by the way.
After walking for more than twenty minutes, O'Neid, who was in front, suddenly slowed down: "Everyone pay attention, the best hunting place is ahead." β
As far as the eye can see, there is a mangrove forest in front, small hills on both sides, flat in the middle, and the trees are not very dense, which will not affect people to run, and it is convenient to hide, it is indeed a good place.
"Captain O'Neid, shall we wait here for the prey to appear, or shall we send a few men out to drive the prey here?" At this time, a member of the escort asked.
This man was none other than Jamie.
When the escort goes out hunting, they will bring pack oxen to make it easier to carry things, and when hunting, they will assign a person to watch the pack oxen, but not who will watch it, but in turns.
In the morning, it was Jamie who guarded, and in the afternoon, naturally, someone else.
Onid looked back at Meron, thought for a moment, and said, "Jamie, you take one person out to find the prey, drive them in this direction, and the others are hiding around." β
"Yes." Jamie nodded in reply and casually ordered someone to leave.
"Lord Viscount, it's better for us to hide, otherwise Jamie's prey that they came in will not come over when they see someone." After arranging the rest of the people, O'Neid gave Meron a warrior salute and spoke.
Meron nodded, but didn't move, but pointed to a rope on O'Neid's body and said, "Captain O'Neid, give me this rope to use." β
The people in the escort all carried a rope, all of which were hemp ropes half a finger thick, but most of them were relatively short, only the one on O'Neid's body was more than ten meters long.
"Lord Viscount needs a rope?" Onid was stunned, obviously not knowing what Meron was doing with the rope.
The rope is generally tied to the booty, and the prey has not yet been seen......
