Chapter 1046 Catch the Rabbit
If the Ji family wants to go up the mountain, the first thing they need to face is the problem of the cattle carriage. It is impossible to take the carriage away. Even if the cattle are found, the cattle carriage will not be able to pass through the mountain.
After the Ji family thought about it, the big guys helped them carry the cattle carriage to a hidden corner in the shallow forest and put it there.
In case they ever need it, they can find a place for it.
After moving the cattle carriage, everyone slowly started walking. Ji Miaomiao didn't have a car to walk, so she was carried on Ye Qiuyun's back.
She originally wanted to come down and walk, but her calves were short and the road in the mountain was rugged, so Mrs. Ji didn't feel at ease at all.
Everyone was originally happy and full of hope for life, but the sudden disaster just now made them feel very depressed, and they didn't say anything quietly.
Ji Liangqing and others were at the end of the team, staying behind to protect the team's safety. Suddenly they heard the crisp sound of leaves being stepped on from behind, and several people narrowed their eyes:
"who?"
Several of them quickly turned their heads and saw a tall, muscular man with a decadent look behind them.
Ji Miaomiao also looked back and instantly recognized who this person was.
Isn't this the man who was among the group of refugees around their home, looking for fruit for the old woman to eat?
Why is it that now that he is following them, the old woman is also missing...
Ji Miaomiao looked at the man's decadent expression and the blood-stained clothes, and felt that it must be the reason she guessed.
The man obviously didn't mean to follow them. Seeing so many people looking at him warily, he looked over in boredom and turned around in the opposite direction.
"Why did this man leave? He couldn't be a spy sent by the bandits to find out the route, right?" Wang Goudan looked at the man's leaving figure and said in surprise.
"Who is the spy?" Ji Liangqing looked at his back and realized: "He is the survivor of those refugees."
That bunch of refugees... everyone knows deep down that most of them have died under the knife of the robbers.
"Since we have entered the mountains, we must find food in the mountains to survive."
After all, Ji Liangqing is the captain of the security team and shoulders the responsibility of protecting everyone. He just made a digression and started worrying about the food problem again.
He had hunting experience, and while leading the big guy, he carefully observed the ground.
When they arrived at a place, there were cave entrances in many places. Ji Liangqing carefully observed the cave entrances, and then asked other members of the security team to find branches and leaves, raise the fire, blow it out, and smoke the cave entrances with smoke.
He asked people to block the left side of the hole with a pocket. Not long after the smoke was smoked, a bunch of rabbits fell into the pocket on the left side.
The person holding the bag on the left was Zhao Chuanyong. Zhao Chuanyong felt the heavy bag in his hand. When he opened the bag, he saw that there were seven hares inside, and they were also very plump.
The brother on the other side was just about to say something when two more rabbits got into his bag.
Rabbits dig holes, and the underground is like a maze. There are so many exits that it's easy for them to escape if you're not careful.
The people in the security team looked at the nine rabbits and looked at Ji Liangqing with conviction.
Otherwise, Ji Liangqing is the captain. He is really capable!
Normally they wouldn't think much about that kind of hole when they saw it, but after just observing it, he knew it was a rabbit nest, and there were rabbits in it.
"Okay, Captain! How did you know this was a rabbit nest? Where did you tell?" Wang Goudan scratched his head, puzzled.
He used to be a gangster in the village, thinking about causing trouble all day long, and he even had his mind set on the Ji family.
But when he couldn't escape, he seemed to be a different person. Not only did he take on a lot more responsibilities, he also played an important role in the village, and he became a lot more upright.
Ji Liangqing had a good impression of him and said:
"The holes made by rabbits are generally round, and there are usually many openings around them. Rabbits like to have doors everywhere around the nest, so if you want to catch rabbits, you must block all the openings, otherwise you will alert the snake."
Everyone suddenly realized it, and Aunt Zhang said to Mrs. Ji with envy:
"Sister, you are really a son who can do everything. Look, he knows everything and he is promising!"
"Is that rabbit nest over there?" Wang Goudan's divergent thinking was pretty good. He stared at a tree nest not far away with bright eyes and asked Ji Liangqing.
Ji Liangqing nodded affirmatively as soon as he saw it: "Yes."
Seeing this, the people from the security team carried the bags and ran to the place where Wang Goudan found it. Ji Liangqing took the branches and went over to smoke them. Not long after, four more rabbits arrived.
"It seems that there are too many rabbits here, and it's a bit overrun."
Ji Liangqing stared at the somewhat exposed ground, thoughtfully.
Rabbits are so hungry that they even dig out grass roots to eat, which can easily cause damage to vegetation. Moreover, they reproduce very quickly, and if not properly controlled, they will become overrun.
"What? Flooding?" The villagers were dumbfounded when they heard this: "There are so many rabbits, can't we catch them all and eat them?"
They had so little food, and since there were so many rabbits here, they had to catch some.
Ji Liangqing left everyone to take a cursory look around, and when he came back, he asked all the people in the security team to light a fire to smoke out the rabbit hole, while the others held bags and blocked the entrance of the hole.
"I've looked at the rabbit holes here, and there are a lot of them. I guess there aren't any natural enemies in this area."
Ji Liangqing expected that the number of rabbits here had reached a very terrifying number. If they had not come here this time, when the rabbits had eaten up the grass here, the vegetation on the other mountain would have suffered.
The villagers love to hear this.
Who would think there are too many rabbits? It’s better to have more rabbits, otherwise there won’t be enough rabbits to fill the gap between your teeth.
All of a sudden, everyone was lighting a fire and holding bags. The old people guarded the filled bags with knowing smiles on their faces.
They have been digging in the fields all their lives, and they have to save and save meat if they want to eat it. But they didn't expect that there are so many good things in the forest.
However, this requires people who specialize in this field to be useful. If they were looking at so many holes, how could they expect to get so many?
Everyone's low mood after being robbed was swept away. A sound of joy came from one side, and an order was given from another side.
When the sky got a little darker, looking at several bags of bulging rabbits, the village chief said excitedly:
"Let's go! Let's go look for where there is water. Without water, we can't divide the meat!"
You can't kill a rabbit without water, everyone knows this.
Although we were quite tired after catching rabbits all afternoon, everyone was looking forward to it because there was so much meat in the bag.
Even though we still didn’t know how long it would take to find the water source, everyone still had smiles on their faces, thinking that going up the mountain might not be the worst outcome.
