*crash* *bang* Xiao Bai falls down flat . Jiang Hai arrived under the tree and glanced at the Xiao Bai lying flat on the snow . He couldn’t help but pat his head with a laugh while feeling helpless . Did he think he was a cat? You want to climb trees? Are you high? With this event, even though Xiao Bai’s intelligence has been upgraded, he’s still an idiot .
Just as Jiang Hai was about to pull Xiao Bai up, a bunch of snow fell from the tree, which fell on Jiang Hai’s neck making him cover his neck . When he looked up at the top of the tree, he saw a block of snow falling from the tree, but it wasn’t falling in his direction, but at the squirrel that was just about to go back to get another acorn .
This squirrel did not immediately see the huge clump of snow falling on top of it . When it finally noticed, it was already too late, it just had time to feel shocked . It only saw what looks like a mountain made of snow heading for it . Said snow mountain smashed on top of the squirrel, without giving it any chance of resistance and then both snow mountain and squirrel fell into the snow pile under the tree together . Seeing this scene, Xiao Huang went beside the snow pile and dragged a small, fat squirrel covered in snow but fortunately this squirrel was still alive, but obviously this squirrel was still alive, but when it landed it was briefly stunned and blinded by snow, its eyes widened when it could finally see, its small mouth slightly opened as it looked at Jiang Hai and two big dogs in front of him in surprise .
“It’s still alive!” Jiang Hai said surprised as he took the squirrel from Xiao Huang’s mouth .
If it wasn’t because of the thick snow pile under the tree and the snow that wrapped it as it fell, it would probably be squirrel pancake now, fortunately for it, it just came out a little dirty from the ordeal .
“Oh, this is a snow squirrel, it’s our first prey!” Robbins couldn’t help but say with a smile as he and Bell came over and looked at the fat squirrel in Jiang Hai’s hand .
“No, I caught it, It’s mine . ” Hearing Robbins, Jiang Hai, who had never thought of taking the squirrel, said this suddenly . The thinking of ordinary people is a bit different .
When people see animals, the first thing they think about is whether they are dangerous or not . If they are not dangerous, they become curious . They develop sympathy or love for it . Some even yell and quarrel about what is cuter . The problem is when Jiang Hai looks at any animal, unlike ordinary humans, his first thought is if it’s delicious or not…

Whether it is dangerous or not is only a secondary concern, and the most important thing is whether it is delicious or not, like the shark he caught, Robbins and Edward considered it as a danger, while he only thought about shark fin and shark meat .
Although he didn’t eat it in the end, it was because after a while they developed the shark became hard to kill because he grew fond of it .
As for this squirrel, Jiang Hai’s first thought was whether he could eat it . He remembered that squirrel meat seemed to be quite delicious…
However, after making sure that it could be eaten, Jiang Hai pouted his lips . too small . Even when you weigh the squirrel along with the bones it will only weigh more or less a pound . The meat isn’t even enough to fill the gaps of his teeth .
But in the principle of never going empty handed, he decided to take this little guy back .
Hearing Jiang Hai’s words, Robbins and Bell both chuckled and turned towards the depths of the woods, while Jiang Hai put the squirrel in a small empty bag around his waist . It was originally prepared to hold some mushrooms . Europeans and Americans do not eat mushrooms, but Jiang Hai wants to eat it since it is good for the lungs .
But it was hard to buy here, except for some Chinese supermarkets, ordinary supermarkets don’t sell them, and the most important thing is that the things in the Chinese supermarket are more expensive, at least several times more expensive than the ones on the mainland(china) .

So when Jiang Hai heard from Robbins that there were edible mushrooms in the forest he decided to take some and brought the small bag to store them . After stuffing this already scared and silly squirrel into the small package, Jiang Hai continued to follow Bell and Robbins into the forest with the two dogs, but before leaving, he specifically told the two dogs to never bark .
Then the three people and two dogs walked quietly deeper into the woods . In a short time, Bell, who was at the forefront, gestured for everyone to stop . Although Robbins has lived here for many years, Bell hunted more than he did and therefore more experienced . As Bell waved, everyone stopped . Then Bell pointed his finger in a direction .
Looking in the direction of Bell’s finger, Jiang Hai and Robbins couldn’t help but see a forest clearing in the distance, about 40 meters away, there was a flock of pheasants, foraging in the snow .
Seeing these pheasants, Robbins couldn’t help but pout . Hadn’t he seen this before? Indeed he has seen it before . This kind of pheasant doesn’t grow bigger, and it grows at most to a pound, if you remove the internal organs, feathers and bones . Although the meat quality is good, the taste is not too good . It isn’t that delicious .
Thinking of this, he couldn’t help turning his head to inform Jiang Hai that they should just catch a turkey or something else, but when they looked back, they found that Jiang Hai’s two eyes were flashing, no, there was fire in his eyes!
“Fly, Flying Dragon!(1)” Jiang Hai said in a low voice while looking at the spotted pheasant in front of him . His trembling voice showed his extremely excited thoughts . He originally came here just to catch some turkeys . Or other birds, rabbits and the like, just go back and beat the tooth festival, but he never thought that there was a flying dragon in his forest!
“Huh? What dragon?” Hearing Jiang Hai’s words, not to mention Robbins, even Bell was confused .
There is no word for Chinese dragon in the European and American language . The word “long” has another meaning . In fact, the word “long” when pronounced in english, sounds more like the chinese word for “wolf”(Láng) rather than a dragon, so Jiang Hai didn’t speak in chinese . Upon hearing the word, Bell and Robbins felt stupid . How come they’re hunting a dragon?

“Cough, that kind of pheasant, in our country, is called the flying dragon . There is an old saying in our country, ask heavenly dragon meat, underground donkey meat, these guys are a rare delicacy!” It looked like Jiang Hai smiled awkwardly, then licked his lips as he told them excitedly .
“Donkey? People in your country still eat donkey meat?” But when he heard Jiang Hai’s words, both Robbins and Bell frowned . Americans rarely eat strange meat, basically they only eat chicken, fish, beef, lamb, and pork . Though they rarely eat pork . Now they heard from Jiang Hai’s mouth something about donkey meat and some of them can’t stand it .
“Less nonsense, you don’t understand the deliciousness of donkey meat . Compared to donkey meat, horse meat is actually delicious . Forget it… looking at your appearance, i know that you haven’t eaten it . Help me catch this bird . ” Hearing their words, Jiang Hai explained it subconsciously, but hearing him mention eating horse meat, just caused them to have an even weirder expression, Jiang Hai couldn’t help but glance at them, they look like they’ve seen a ghost, But for now, the most important thing is to catch these flying dragons .
Hearing Jiang Hai’s words, the two didn’t say much . They walked slowly towards the flying dragons from both sides, and Xiao Huang beside Jiang Hai gradually crouched down, and seemed to melt with the surroundings and slowly sneaked towards the flying dragons . As for Xiaobai, although he didn’t know what to do, it was easy to learn as he copied Xiaohuang .
As for Jiang Hai, he slowly creeped forward, licking his dry lips while he stared at his prey .
After waiting for about ten minutes, Bell sent a message, all sides were ready . Under Bell’s indication, Xiao Huang first rushed out of the snow, and after Xiao Huang rushed out, Xiaobai followed him . As for Jiang Hai and Bell, they also ran out immediately .
These flying dragons have never thought about the problem of being caught, because they have been breeding in this small forest for several generations with no one to catch them, so their reaction is a little slow . It wasn’t until Xiao Huang came and caught one with his mouth and one for each of his paws holding them down with his weight, that they finally reacted . They screamed and scattered and fled, but It’s a pity that it’s too late . Xiao Bai came out and bit one . Bell, Jiang Hai and Robbins also entered the flock of birds at this time . Bell grabbed one for each hand and caught two of them the same as Robbins, as for Jiang Hai, he is much more ruthless, first he slapped two of them, after hitting the two down, he caught another two . At this time what was left of the flying dragons flew away leaving the flying dragon in this open space that was still struggling .
“Okay, nice!” Jiang Hai’s eyes were almost green when he looked at the twelve flying dragon birds on the ground .
Without saying a word, he directly picked up a rope and tied them up . Twelve flying dragons, only the one that Xiaobai bit died, and the rest were still alive so it’s still good .
“Boss, there is not much meat in this thing, is it really delicious?” Looking at the happy Jiang Hai, Robbins, who was helping him, asked with some curiosity, he has caught and eaten this thing before, But the taste really isn’t that good .
“This thing is not for eating meat, it is for drinking soup, you don’t understand, when I go back and make it I’ll let you taste it . ” After tying up all the birds, Jiang Hai happily took them and tethered them on his backpack behind him as he asnwered Robbins excitedly .
“Huh? Soup? Cheddar soup?” Speaking of soup, people here may only know cheddar soup .
“You will know by then, it’s really rewarding! Haha!” But Jiang Hai at this time has no leisure to despise them, just with the harvest now, he feels that he could wake up laughing at night . It really feels great .
1 . The author called it as Feilong pheasant . a brief google told me that there is no such thing . I’ve searched for all the protected animals in china and found some pheasants there but no feilong pheasant… but in my search i found that there is a high chance that the author was talking about the gold pheasant . its a class 1 protected animal and some could be found in the US too and the color of this pheasant is very eye catchy which could explain the reaction of the MC . maybe in some parts of china its called feilong or something . im not sure .
