Chapter Eighty-Six: Regaining the Old Job

Guo Qu likes the songs of a singer, and that singer is Daolang, and he has heard almost all of Daolang's songs. In his previous life, when he was young, the only song he couldn't listen to was "The First Snow in 2002".

Why?

Because the trees in the south are basically evergreens in all seasons, they basically do not lose their leaves, which is completely inconsistent with the sentence "the second-way car that stays on the highway takes away the last leaf of autumn".

Straight to the point.

Snowflakes fluttering, after a night of foreshadowing, the original mountain of ice, now has been covered with snow, and when the snowflakes cover two or three centimeters, the mountain people who have hunting customs can no longer bear it.

It's a good day in heavy snow, and any animal that goes out will definitely leave footprints, which is much easier than hunting at other times.

The weather in the south is actually not as cold as in the north, even in the coldest time of winter, it is only minus 9 or 10 degrees.

But whether it is cold or not is not the only factor, whether it is cold or not, it depends on whether it is dry cold or wet cold, wet and cold will feel cold around zero degrees, dry and cold is estimated to be below minus ten degrees, it will not feel cold.

In the winter, nothing can be done, and the few iron clips placed at home have been rusted because they have not been used for a long time.

So Guo Qu planned to go into the mountains to hunt, called Guo Xiaoqing, one of them carried an iron clip on his back, and the other carried a goat net to the mountain.

On such a cold day, when I walked out of the door in the village, a cold air hit, and people couldn't help but vent their breath.

However, when I actually climbed the mountain with a heavy load on my back, I started to be out of breath for about ten minutes, and then I was sweating profusely, and I didn't feel cold at all.

But in this case, I don't dare to stop at all, and if I have a good rest, I will feel even colder.

After reaching the top of the mountain, I went down to the cliff on the other side of the ridge in one breath, and because it was an inward-sloping cliff, the rain at the bottom of the cliff could not wet the ground.

There were a lot of dry and rotting wood and dead leaves on the ground, and the two of them gathered a pile of firewood and lit it.

After the water vapor on the clothes was dry, the two walked to the edge of the cliff and began to look at the land under the mountain, this piece is uninhabited, and the land is from the village, it is winter now, nothing is planted, and naturally there are weeds everywhere.

But the harvested crops, it is inevitable that there will be seeds and the like, the south is not better than the north, even in winter, the seeds can germinate in the ground, especially potatoes, it happens that this is the favorite to grow potatoes, this kind of potatoes, the common people call them winter potatoes.

In this winter, the wild animals are short of food, so they will naturally come out to eat, and then hunt these and leave the grain in the ground.

The two stood on the edge of the hillside, looking out over the river...... Phew! Looking at the frozen world, searching for other colors besides white, especially other colors that move.

The two observed for a while, and then began to switch, no way, it was too cold, so it could only be so.

"Xiao Ming, come here!" was obviously a shouting tone, but he shouted in a low voice, his cousin can be described as ...... It's painstaking.

"What's wrong?" Guo Qu hurriedly ran over.

"You see, there's a roe deer in the half-sloped soil. Guo Xiaoqing looked very excited, but he was afraid that he would scare away the roe deer too loudly, so he was obviously very excited, but he was uncomfortable.

"......" Guo went to be silent, and after observing for a while, he said, "There are no deer, we can't put the net and clips yet." ”

At this time, Guo Xiaoqing's excitement slowly subsided, and he sighed again, "This is really annoying." ”

The inexperienced Guo Xiaoqing and the experienced Guo Qu are in stark contrast at this time.

"Calm down, if you want to hit the prey, you first have to find the prey and know where they are moving, so don't be discouraged, this first step has been taken. ”

After comforting Guo Xiaoqing, the two of them went downhill with their backs, and determined that there were wild animals moving in this area, and the scope naturally narrowed.

When they arrived at the barren land, the roe deer they had seen earlier had long since disappeared, but it was nothing, and the two quickly took out the small hoe, began to smash the ice and break the soil, and then placed the clamps in place.

The clamps were placed in a circle, about two meters in diameter, and carrots, cabbage, and potatoes that had begun to sprout were placed in the middle area, and a few wooden sticks were found to mark the clips, and then the chains were dragged all the way to the tree, and the chains were tied to the trees.

The clamps were placed, and the two of them changed to a wasteland, and this time they were going to be exhausted, after all, they were placed with nets, and the pit they wanted to dig would be bigger.

After three hours of busy work, I can sweat in the winter, which shows how tiring it is. However, the pit was finally dug up, and the two of them quickly spread the net and fixed it on the surface of the pit with many wooden sticks.

Guo Qu's cousin was afraid that the wooden stick would be inserted too deep and the net would not be easy to collect, so he experimented with himself, and he pounced on the net with a swoop, and then ...... It was successfully netted and hung on the pit wall.

"Okay! As long as something comes up to the net, it won't be able to escape. Looking at the fruits of his labor, Guo Xiaoqing seemed very happy, he squatted in the net, and deliberately tried the net, this is the way.

Guo went to help him get out of the net, and then re-laid the net, put spinach leaves on the net, then covered it slightly with soil, and finally slowly spread the snow all over the net, making it look less abrupt than the world of ice and snow.

The thick hemp rope tied to the net was still tied to the thick tree waist, and only then did he put the tools in the back basket and remove the traces of the dirt that had been dug up, and then he went up the mountain and returned to the edge of the cliff where he had been.

Once the hunting tools are installed, you have to keep an eye on them all day, because there are many hunters in winter, and if someone steps on the clamp, then the matter will be a big deal, and the short legs will be crippled!

And if you don't stare at it, even if you catch a wild thing, it will be easy to be cut off, and there will be no place to cry at that time.

The two of them returned to the bottom of the cliff, added a few dry logs, gathered together the coals that had not yet been burned, placed a handful of pine needles, and blew on the coals.

The fire ignited smoothly, and Guo Xiaoqing went to collect firewood, although the firewood outside was soaked in rain and snow, but it could be burned with dry firewood.

The two stayed until it was dark, then went home, and after dinner, went to bed early. Because they have to get up early tomorrow, they are both worried that someone will be caught by a clip if they go late, and they are also worried that if a wild object is caught or caught in a net, they will be cut off.
