Chapter 89 Guess how much we earned this time (Subscribe)

A few minutes later, Xu Ye saw Zhang Sanbao and the others.

Zhang Ming and Zhang Xuefeng were both holding flashlights, and all three of them had happy looks on their faces, obviously in a good mood.

"Brother Ye, guess how much money we made this time?" Zhang Ming rushed to ask.

"It should be around two hundred and seventy or eighty, right?" Xu Ye said with a smile.

"Brother Ye is really amazing. He sold the antelope for 288 yuan."

"There were 412 kilograms of meat in total, and we sold them all at 7 cents per kilogram."

"The leopard skin was sold for 488 yuan, a total of yuan. As he spoke, Zhang Sanbao took out all the money and handed it to Xu Ye.

"The three of us took out nine dollars in advance to buy things, and everything else is here."

Xu Ye nodded, took the money, and immediately counted out their shares and gave them the money.

When Zhang Ming and Zhang Xuefeng got the money, their breathing became rapid.

"Thank you, Brother Ye." Zhang Xuefeng said excitedly.

Zhang Ming quickly followed up with a smile on his face.

This trip was really profitable. Xu Ye alone earned 219 yuan, which was equivalent to the annual income of those workers.

Each of them received 54.75, which was almost two months' salary for a worker.

They had already decided that if there was prey in the trap, they would not share it.

After all, they were not at the scene, and any prey belonged to Xu Ye and Jiang Ruyue.

"Have you eaten? We roasted a lot of sweet potatoes and potatoes. You can dig them out and eat them." Xu Ye put his and Jiang Ruyue's money into his pocket.

In order to prevent Xu Ye from losing his money, Jiang Ruoan even sewed an inner pocket for him.

"We have eaten and are not hungry." Zhang Sanbao said happily.

"Then go and have a rest. I hope we will have good luck tomorrow." With that, Xu Ye returned to the shed.

Zhang Sanbao and the others were indeed tired, so after settling the hunting dogs, they went in to sleep.

Apart from the occasional cries of night owls, there was no other major noise at night.

Nothing happened that night, and the next day Xu Ye was awakened by a fragrance.

When I opened my eyes, I saw Jiang Ruyue's beautiful eyes.

Needless to say, Zhang Sanbao and the others were definitely not in the shed.

Most likely he went to check the trap, otherwise Jiang Ruyue wouldn't be so bold as to wake her up the same way Jiang Ruoan used to.

I don’t know whether Jiang Ruoan told her that or she just happened to see it.

Twenty minutes later, Zhang Sanbao and his friends came back excitedly carrying things.

"Brother Ye, Huahu and the others caught two rabbits."

"Unfortunately, there are still no animals on the other side of the trap."

Xu Ye stuffed a piece of sweet potato into his mouth and stood up.

"Hang up the rabbit first, you guys hurry up and eat something, then we'll go for a walk around the neighborhood."

"If there is no prey, we should go down the mountain in the afternoon."

I have already stayed in the mountains for two nights this time. If I don’t go back, my family will be worried.

The three of them nodded and quickly took the rabbit into the shed and hung it under the beam.

There were also two backpacks hanging under the beam, containing smoked leopard meat and takin.

Xu Ye had simply tanned the antelope skin using wood ash, and he needed to take it back and soak it in alum.

After eating, they left a hound tied in the shed to prevent other hunters or animals from approaching.

According to the rules in the mountains, no one can approach a shed with hunting dogs without permission, which means someone lives there.

Of course, there are also those who do not comply, but if they are discovered they may be beaten to death.

If someone dies in the mountains, it is not easy to find the body.

Xu Ye led them directly to the valley and asked the hunting dogs to follow the traces left by the wild boars to see if they could find the herd of wild boars.

Perhaps it was because they chased for too long, the three hounds lost their target after a while and started looking everywhere. In desperation, Xu Ye could only lead them to the top of the mountain to try their luck.

Their luck today was obviously not good, and they didn't encounter any prey.

I only saw some squirrels and birds, but they were too far away to shoot.

Time passed very quickly in the mountains, and before I knew it, it was almost noon.

"Okay, that's it for this trip. We have to go down the mountain. Otherwise, our family members will be worried." Xu Ye said promptly.

Zhang Sanbao and the others couldn't help but nod their heads. This trip had indeed taken a long time, and including today it had been three days and two nights.

They usually went into the mountains empty-handed, so they didn't think it was a problem that they didn't encounter any prey today.

Back in the shed, I dug out the still hot sweet potatoes and potatoes from under the fire.

After eating, they put the basket on their backs, took the two rabbits and went down the mountain.

This time, each of them got fifty yuan and they were all very satisfied.

Halfway through, the hounds suddenly stopped and started barking.

Apparently, we encountered hunters going into the mountains again.

Before Zhang Sanbao could say anything, he heard a shout from the other side.

"We are the militia from the Shangxi Brigade. Which brigade are you from?"

Zhang Sanbao couldn't help but frown and spit.

"Isn't it so unlucky? It's Ye Yaozu and the others again, right?"

After he finished complaining, Zhang Sanbao shouted, "Zhang Sanbao from Sanxi Village."

"Oh, that's really a coincidence. What kind of prey did you catch? Let us open our eyes."

Hearing this, Zhang Ming and Zhang Xuefeng both laughed.

Although Ye Yaozu and his team killed a wild boar and two roe deer last time, the wild boar was not big.

Even if you add two roe deer, it still can't be sold for two hundred yuan.

Besides, there were ten of them, and each of them couldn't get much money.

Soon, Ye Yaozu and the others came closer.

"No way, there's not even a wild boar?"

"You've been in the mountains for three days, and you only caught two rabbits?"

When Ye Yaozu saw two wild rabbits hanging outside Xu Ye's backpack, a bright smile and silver front teeth appeared on his face.

Ye Yaozu was very happy to see Xu Ye and his friends returning empty-handed.

He liked to see Xu Ye unhappy and down and out.

Zhang Sanbao and his companions did not even say hello to these people. They felt secretly happy when they thought that they had earned more than 50 yuan on this trip, while Ye Yaozu and his companions thought they had returned empty-handed because they had not hunted any prey.

They couldn't suppress their smiles anymore and they all cracked up in laughter.

"You're so happy just because you killed two rabbits. Maybe you ran into something unclean in the mountains?" a militiaman said sarcastically.

Xu Ye and the others did not respond, and everyone walked down with a smile on their faces.

"Damn it, is this really a ghost?"

"It looks creepy." Several militiamen felt their hair stand on end.

Ye Yaozu shrank his neck and slapped a militiaman on the back of his head.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Can't you see they are doing this on purpose?" Ye Yaozu said, pretending to be calm.

However, looking at the backs of Xu Ye and the others, I always felt a little uneasy.

The more they ignored it, the more they felt something was wrong.

Normally, you should say hello, right?

Xu Ye didn't know that his indifference made Ye Yaozu feel uneasy, otherwise he would have done something to scare the other party so that he would not dare to enter the mountain at night.
