Liu Erqian decided to find his two sons and two nephews, and said: "You guys clean up and go into the mountains with your niece tomorrow. The rabbits in the mountains are a disaster, and now there is not much work left at home. Your daughter-in-law is enough."

Liu Ting's eyes flashed brightly, and he was secretly excited, "Second uncle, my father agreed?"

Liu Erqian glared at him, "I told you all here, what do you think?" Although the elder brother didn't agree, he didn't stop him.

"If you feel bad about it, go back and pack up some agricultural products and send them over. Shishi's daughter-in-law doesn't know how to grow vegetables, so all the vegetables at home are saved."

These things are not lacking in the farmhouse, and all four of them should go.

When he went to bed at night, Liu Ting shared the good news with his wife and said, "The children are growing up. If they can eat more meat, they will definitely be stronger and stand more stable."

There are many children in rural areas who are dying. Even if the eldest son Liu Lang is eleven years old, he is still uninsured, not to mention there are two younger children under him?

Liu Zhao was also overjoyed, "Go into the mountain, I'll work at home, listen to A Ling's words when you enter the mountain, don't go too far, run out when something goes wrong, you are the backbone of the family, it's natural to have those things. , you can live well without us, so don't be greedy."

The other two houses also had such instructions. Only Liu Erqian's youngest son, Liu Xuan, hadn't married yet, so he slept on the bed as soon as he got home. The next day, he was full of energy after the chicken crows for the second time. up.

Compared to the various goals of cousins ??and older brothers, his goals are much simpler, fighting rabbits and eating meat.

The four ?? brothers packed up and stood in front of Mu's house early in the morning.

Mu Shi came out and saw them stunned for a moment, then Mu Yangling said, "Father, you enter the mountain by yourself today, and I will bring the uncles in."

Mu Shi hesitated for a moment and then nodded. Anyway, he didn't usually go the same way as his daughter, he always went to a deeper place.

"Don't take your uncles too deep, just be there with the jujube trees."

Mu Yangling complied, and after watching Mu Shi enter the mountain, he said to the four uncles: "Let's go, let's enter the mountain."

They mainly set up traps today, and they will collect them the next day. Mu Yangling is very familiar with this area.

After walking into the forest for a quarter of an hour, there will be a jujube tree. Soon after the jujube can be harvested, the young people in the village will come in here to pick them together, but usually few people come here, so a thick layer of fallen leaves fell on the ground. There are dates that wither and fall to the ground.

Liu Ting stretched out his hand to pick one from the tree and put it in his mouth, saying, "Yes, it will be ready in twenty days or so."

The wild dates in the mountains are harvested later than those grown outside.

Mu Yangling looked around and said, "Uncle Biao, rabbits love to nest around here, but there are also animals that like to eat wild jujubes, so don't go far, if something happens, just shout." Today Mu Yangling Yang Ling entered the mountain with a big bow specially to prevent accidents.

The four uncles should come down.

Mu Yangling inspected it, and made a mark when he saw the traces of rabbits that often haunted, and made a trap on it in a while.

At this time, it was just a little light, and the morning light fell on the ground through the leaves, which softened Mu Yangling's expression.

Liu Ting poohed twice, picked up his hoe, walked over, and asked, "A Ling, where do we start?"

"Dig this first, Uncle Zhuang, you and Uncle Yuan just follow what my father taught you to place the knots where I made the traces, Uncle Xuan, let's go, I'll take you to find the rabbit's nest, We'll smoke the rabbit in a while."

Liu Xuan's eyes were sparkling.

Mu Yangling taught him how to read the traces and judge the size and species of the animals that left the traces, but Liu Xuan couldn't see any relationship between this piece of grass and that piece of grass, why that piece of grass once had a fox passing by.

Mu Yangling looked at him strangely, "Uncle Xuan, didn't you smell a smell?"

"..." Liu Xuan said, "No, I only smelled the fragrance of wild jujube."

"...Then do you see what's different about this clump of grass?" Mu Yangling asked, pointing to a knee-high clump of grass not far away.

Liu Xuan took a closer look and said, "It seems that he was bent over."

"Where's the bush next to it?" Mu Yangling pointed to the top of the bush, and it was also slightly bent. If you didn't look carefully, you couldn't really see it.

"It was also bent."

Mu Yangling nodded, "Do you know how it was bent?"

Liu Xuan shook his head.

Mu Yangling pointed to the first cluster and said, "It was blown by the wind."

Liu Xuan: "..."

"Look there is a large open space over there, standing here just can blow the wind, that is to say, this position is directly facing the air outlet, and the fold of the grass is overall downward, the curvature is very smooth, not like Animal overwhelm."

Liu Xuan nodded excitedly, "I understand."

"Then what about the bunch you're looking at?"

Liu Xuan hesitated: "It was also blown by the wind?"

"No, it was bent by a wild boar."

"..." Liu Xuan looked and looked, and asked, "How do you know?"

"There is a shallow pig's foot print on the ground, and there are two pig feces behind the tree."

Liu Xuan lay on the ground and looked at it for a long time, but he couldn't see the shallow pig's hoof print, but he saw the pig feces behind the tree. Although he didn't pay attention, he wouldn't notice it, because the grass under the tree was also very thick. You can't find it by looking at it.

"And the grass suddenly bent down from the top two-thirds, so it must have been bent by something..."

Liu Xuan's eyes looked back and forth between the two grasses, but he still couldn't see how their bending degrees were different. He turned his mosquito-repellent incense eyes to look at his niece and said, "A Ling, I'd better stop learning, you just tell me directly. The rabbit's nest is there, I'll go to smoke."

"...Well, the rabbit's nest is in the grass not far under the tree you saw just now. Didn't you see the hole when you went to open it just now?" Mu Yangling asked him to see the two pieces of grass. In order to continue teaching him how to recognize the rabbit hole, it is clear that the homework she has prepared is not going to work.

Liu Xuan touched his nose, ran to look at the hole, and asked, "It is said that there are many exits from the rabbit hole. Where are the other exits?"

"I'll look for it." Mu Yangling turned around here and found another hole, and said to Liu Xuan, "Come here and guard, put a sack around the hole, and I'll make a fire to smoke the rabbits."

There are many trees in the forest, and even the slightest spark could cause a fire, so Mu Yangling was very careful every time she started a fire. It was the first time she brought Liu Xuan into the mountain, and she was really worried about handing over such an important matter to him.

Mu Yangling taught him some skills, so he pulled a few handfuls of green grass and a handful of hay and placed them at the entrance of the cave, and lightly opened the flint to light them. The big leaves fanned vigorously towards the hole.

Most of the smoke that was born went into the hole. After a while, the smoke floated out from another hole, and Mu Yangling knew that it was almost there. She was afraid that there were still holes to be found, so she looked around and planned to wait until When smoke came out of other places, I ran to block it.

The two of them were very lucky. The first rabbit hole they found had only two exits. After waiting for a while, there was an exclamation from Liu Xuan's side, and a snow-white rabbit quickly escaped from the hole and rushed in. in his sack.

Liu Xuan quickly pressed the sack when he saw that there were no more rabbits coming out, and shouted happily, "A-Ling, come and see, the snow-white rabbits are so beautiful."

Mu Yangling ran over to see, a big snow-white rabbit and four little rabbits were quietly huddled under the sack, Mu Yangling said happily: "Uncle Xuan Biao, you are so lucky, this kind of snow-white rabbit in the county town. Those young masters and young ladies like it the most, so let’s hurry down the mountain and let my father take it to the county seat, and it will definitely sell for a good price.”

Liu Xuan raised his smiling face, "Where is my luck, it is obviously A Ling who is lucky.
