Happy Life in Siheyuan

Chapter 235

As the saying goes, the cunning rabbit has three caves.

Although rabbits often go the old way, they also have their own cunning. A rabbit nest usually has several holes, and there are several transit stations in the holes.

If there are many rabbit nests in an area, the rabbit holes inside will be like a maze. The main purpose is to avoid the capture of natural enemies such as eagles, snakes, wolves, weasels, and foxes.

However, no matter how many holes there are in the rabbit's nest, it still cannot escape the humans at the top of the food chain.

Xu Lingjun carefully searched the rabbit hole on the hillside according to the method taught by others.

In the past, the predecessor was basically not interested in such things. When other people were catching prey, the predecessor preferred to sit quietly on the grass and read a book.

And he doesn't even know what the rabbit hole is, he is a complete novice.

However, the fun of this is precisely in not knowing.

If he buys a grandmaster hunter skill card in the magical store of the system, and then stays in the magical learning space for decades, he probably won't be in the mood by then.

Some skills are suitable for direct learning through magical skill cards, while some skills are suitable for learning slowly. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be a lot less fun for nothing?
"Old Xu, did you find it?"

After searching for an area, Guo Shuzi walked over with some disappointment and asked.

"not yet."

Xu Lingjun smiled and shook his head.

"Well, then let's go over there and look for it. Generally, the main hole of a rabbit faces the south. Moreover, you are a cultural person, and you should have heard the saying that rabbits don't eat grass by the side of the nest. If you see where the grass is very The dense vegetation is complete, so it is estimated that there will be rabbits making their homes there."

Guo Shuzi walked to the southwest of the hillside, while imparting the experience of hunting rabbits.

In this world, no matter where the herdsmen are, they basically have more or less good hunting skills, which is caused by the living environment.

The herdsmen not only have to fight against the cruel natural environment, but also against the animals in the wild, especially in the cold winter when they face those wild wolves who are staring at them, and they will lose their lives if they are not careful.

Therefore, most herdsmen are braver, kinder and love life more than others.

The reason why the predecessor was able to survive that dark moment in life was also because of these kind and lovely herdsmen.

You know, those people who encountered the same situation as their predecessors,
Many of them died of exhaustion, starvation, or suicide.

He remembered reading an article in his previous life, in which he wrote a sentence,

Basically, those who can live are old fritters, those who don’t work hard, and only live for themselves;

And those who are very conscientious basically die quickly.

He sighed inwardly, put all these thoughts behind him, and continued to search the rabbit hole.

Anyway, all this is about to pass, and the darkness will finally usher in the dawn.

Believe in the masses, believe in the party, and everything will gradually get better.

"Hey, Old Xu, come quickly!"

Suddenly, Guo Bizi stood not far away, waving his hands and shouting.

Xu Lingjun frowned and walked over quickly.

"Look, what is this?"

Guo Bizi asked, pointing to a small pile of meatballs on the grass.

"Is this rabbit droppings?"

Xu Lingjun leaned forward to take a look, and said hesitantly.

"That's right! You see, this piece of feces is as big as a pigeon's egg. It must have been pulled by a big rabbit. Also, look, this feces is still a little wet, so it must have been pulled not long ago."

Guo Jizi nodded with a smile.

As he said that, he also pulled out a piece of pasture and poked it on one of the dung, and observed it in front of his eyes.

Xu Lingjun nodded while listening, thinking to himself that this is really full of knowledge!

He really didn't expect to judge the size of the rabbit by looking at the size of the feces. The feces pulled by the big rabbits are relatively large, while the feces pulled by the small rabbits are relatively small. There is nothing wrong with judging like this.

"Come on, let's go along this road and see if we can find the rabbit's nest."

Guo Shuzi kept his eyes on the path of the rabbit, and slowly followed the path to find it.

Xu Lingjun followed Guo Shuzi slowly, learning how to distinguish the rabbit's path.

One of the most important points is that when observing the rabbit's path and laying a trap, one should pay attention not to destroy the original environment as much as possible, and not to leave any traces and smells.

Rabbit is a very timid animal. It has a keen sense of hearing and smell, and is especially good at jumping and running. Therefore, once it smells a dangerous breath, it will run away directly.

Not long after, Guo Bizi paused slightly, then walked quickly towards a tuft of grass.

Xu Lingjun also found the tuft of grass at the same time, if nothing else, it would be the bunny's nest.

Guo Bizi picked a piece of pasture grass, carefully pushed aside the grass and looked inside, a happy smile appeared on his face.

He turned his head to look at Xu Lingjun, and said with a smile: "Old Xu, look, the hole is clean and tidy, and there are signs of frequent walking. It must be that the rabbit's nest has not escaped."

The living habits of rabbits are relatively clean, so the entrance of the cave is generally relatively clean.

Moreover, rabbits will only live in one nest when they are breastfeeding and giving birth, and they will change nests after a few days at other times. Therefore, it is possible to catch baby rabbits in this rabbit nest.

For herdsmen, it is also a good thing to catch baby rabbits, which can be taken home to raise.

It's just that the situation has been bad in recent years, not to mention rabbits, even chickens and ducks can't be raised.

Therefore, after confirming that there was a rabbit nest, Guo Shuzi did not dig out the rabbit hole, but set up a trap on the rabbit road not far from the entrance of the hole.

He crossed the two wooden sticks he carried with him into the grass on both sides of the rabbit road, and then tied the cover to the sticks so that the cover lay across the center of the rabbit road, about ten to fifteen centimeters above the ground.

Soon, after he put the cover down, he found another rabbit path along the entrance of the cave, and let Xu Lingjun try to use the cover himself.

Xu Lingjun has Tai Chi alchemy in his body, so he easily learned how to set the trap, and successfully set the trap in one go.

"Okay! Old Xu, I thought I didn't get it right after trying several times for the first time, but you got it right the first time. You really deserve to be a cultural person."

Guo Bizi said with a look of admiration.

"It's also because you teach well!"

Xu Lingjun got up and patted the dust on his palms, and smiled.

"Haha, that is, I have been catching rabbits since I went up the mountain to herd horses when I was a teenager. The rabbits I caught did not have a thousand or eight hundred. In our seventh team, I dare to recognize the second, and no one dares to recognize the second." one."

Guo Bizi laughed a few times very happily, and couldn't help but start to shriek.

"These words, you'd better go tell Uncle Dong!"

Xu Lingjun frowned, and directly opened his mouth to tear down the stage.

"Forehead"

Guo Bizi's smile froze, and he gave Xu Lingjun an embarrassed look.

No reason, just because his skills of herding horses and hunting were taught by Uncle Dong.

"Haha! Let's go! Let's continue to look for it, this rabbit is not enough to eat!"

Seeing Guo Handi's expression, Xu Lingjun couldn't help laughing, then pulled Guo Handi to the other side of the rabbit nest.

Although rabbits are solitary, if you can find a rabbit nest, there is a good chance that there are other rabbit nests nearby.

Sure enough, it didn't take long before they successfully found three or four rabbit nests.

After taking off all the covers they brought, they quickly returned to the gathering place and began to prepare lunch.
