The successful capture of a pair of otters made Xu Shiyan a little more confident about the future of breeding.

Of course, it also added a lot of things to his career as a ginseng watcher, and he had to go to the river every day to catch fish and shrimp, and come back to feed the two otters.

Xu Shiyan only caught this pair of otters, and then did not catch them again.

The main reason is that he doesn't have much confidence in the breeding of otters, everything is in the process of exploring the law, and he can only raise two first.

If he gets too much at once, he can't take care of it, and it's a pity to raise it to death.

A few days later, Xu Shiyan went to the mountain to walk the clip, but accidentally caught another sable.

It happens to be a male, and it can only be a pair with the one at home.

However, this thing is timid, and it takes a long time to recover after being frightened.

And usually the sables live alone, Xu Shiyan didn't dare to rashly put the two sables in one cage, so he could only lock them up separately and put the two cages next to each other.

There are several more small animals at once, and the ginseng house is not suitable for breeding.

There was no way, Xu Shiyan cleaned up the warehouse and set it aside as a breeding site.

For the time being, he could only do this, and when the weather warmed up for a while, he would find another way to resettle the animals.

Since the addition of these animals, Xu Shiyan's daily workload has also increased.

Not only do you have to catch fish and touch shrimp, but you also have to put down a sleeve and clip, and get some meat for the two sables to eat.

Sables are omnivorous animals, and their diet is mainly small birds and beasts, and they will also eat some pine nuts, berries, and insects.

In order to raise them, Xu Shiyan also spent a lot of brains, and specially made a batch of mouse traps to catch mice to feed the sables.

In addition to these, Xu Shiyan also went to a forest south of Xiaohei River that had just been harvested for a few years, shoveling snow and placing bait.

The bait is specially prepared for the deer, and there is a lot of salt in it, and there are also some bran, bean cakes, etc., all prepared according to the deer's favorite taste.

Deer like to nibble on bark, branches, leaves.

After the felling forest, some branches will re-emerge from the roots, which is a favorite of deer.

Xu Shiyan had hunted deer here before, and now, he has come up with another way.

The bait is lowered into the snow and the horn made of birch bark is sounded, and gradually the deer are attracted to the deer.

When the deer find salty and delicious bait, they will often hover around it.

In the future, every time Xu Shiyan put bait, he would blow the horn to call the deer, and those deer got used to it, and they ran this way when they heard the movement.

Nowadays, the most valuable thing for deer is deer antlers.

Others, such as deer hearts, deer blood, deer tendons, deer fetuses, etc., are not accepted by the purchase station, and can only be kept for their own food or given away.

Deer antler velvet has to wait until the beginning of spring, when it grows to two short branches, and the quality is the best before it is ossified.

So Xu Shiyan didn't plan to kill the deer again, he wanted to find a way to lure the deer over, and then cooperate with the medicine at that time to stun the deer and cut the antlers.

The resources in the mountains are a gift from nature, but they are by no means inexhaustible.

If we can't make rational use of it and blindly kill, we will only end up running out of mountains and rivers and depleting resources.

Hunting is not just about eating that bite of meat, but also about creating economic value.

Deer antler velvet is valuable, but for two deer antlers, you can kill a deer, and after cutting off the antlers, the meat can only be eaten, which is obviously a bit of a waste.

It may be a better way to cut the antler velvet and sell it for money without harming the deer's life.

Of course, these are all wishful thinking on the part of Xu Shiyan, and it is very difficult to implement them, but he is willing to try, what if he succeeds?

Busy and busy, the New Year passed quickly, the weather began to gradually warm, and the young children of the second brigade all went up to the mountain to work.

Sun Xiaofeng and Huang Shengli brought Xu Shiyan some food at every turn, and Su Anying asked them to bring it up, for fear that Xu Shiyan would not be able to eat well and suffer on the mountain.

On this day, Xu Shiyan went to the second forest early in the morning to put bait to lure the deer.

As soon as he returned, he saw the carriage of the team coming, and a group of people jumped out of the carriage.

"Brother Xu, my uncle Xu has come up the mountain." Feng Chao was the first to jump out of the car and shouted at the top of his voice.

Xu Shiyan was stunned when he heard this, and hurried over, at this time, Sun Xiaofeng and Huang Shengli helped Xu Chenghou get out of the carriage.

"Dad, why did you come up the mountain?" The work of participating in the ground is all done by strong guys, why is this old man still coming up?

Xu Chenghou glanced at his third son, didn't speak, and only handed him the bag in his hand.

"Let's go, let's go inside." At first glance, this is something.

Xu Shiyan chuckled in his heart, what was the important thing at home? Alarmed your own dad and went up the mountain?

Xu Shiyan didn't dare to ask, and followed behind his father, and the two of them entered the small room.

As soon as he entered the house, the old man turned his head and glared at his son.

"You pack up, go home for two days, and I'll watch the mallet for you on the mountain." Xu Chenghou suddenly came out with these two sentences.

"Huh? I'll go back, and you'll watch for me? Bite? ”

Xu Shiyan was directly stunned, what happened at home, his father was uneven, and he still needed to go down the mountain?

"What? What do you say? What did you do when you went home for the New Year, you don't know?

Yuanyuan has only been eleven months, and before it is time to wean, your daughter-in-law is pregnant again.

What kind of bastard are you, you can't shy away from it? ”

Xu Chenghou saw his son's circled expression, and he became even more angry, and raised his leg and kicked Xu Shiyan.

This bastard thing, his grandson has no milk to drink, so he owes a beating.

"Huh? Eiko is pregnant again? "Xu Shiyan is dumbfounded, won't you? When?

My God, my daughter-in-law's land is too good, it's really food.

But that's too frequent, isn't it? The boss was only 11 months old, no, he went up the mountain on the 16th of the first month, and the boss was only 10 months old at that time.

Pregnant with the second child so early, can the daughter-in-law's body stand it?

"Dad, you help me watch the mountain for a day, I'll go home and have a look."

How can Xu Shiyan still be able to calm down at this time? He had to hurry home to see his daughter-in-law and take her to the hospital for a check-up.

It is not good for women to get pregnant too often and hurt their bodies.

"Nonsense, what am I doing here? Didn't I just watch it for you? You bastard, you can you off every day. ”

Xu Chenghou rolled his eyes, feeling that his son was stupid to death.

It's not to look at the ginseng for his son, he's so old, what are you doing running up the mountain all the time?

"By the way, Dad, come here, I have to tell you something."

Fortunately, Xu Shiyan was not so stunned that he couldn't remember anything, so he hurriedly dragged Xu Chenghou to the warehouse and showed Xu Chenghou the otters and sables.

The First Clan

"Dad, this is what I caught, and I plan to raise it myself, and these open-mouthed beasts have to be fed.

Did you see that? The fish in this bucket feed the otters, the pheasants, chickadees, rats, and sables here.

There's nothing I can do now, I'll wait a while for a while to think about it and feed them all the time. ”
