Bamboo rats like to inhabit thin bamboo forests, and when they catch them, they must first look for dead bamboo. Because the bamboo rat burrows underground, they will bite the roots of the bamboo, causing the bamboo on the burrow to die of lack of water. Therefore, wherever there is a dead bamboo, there may be holes and footprints dug by bamboo rats, so you should observe carefully at this time.

If a hole is found, and you see that there is new soil at the hole, and it is piled high and damp, and there are no or relatively few leaves on it, and the hole is closed with soil, there may be bamboo rats in the hole. If the entrance of the cave is open, and the mound of soil at the entrance of the cave is low or dry, and there are more dead branches and leaves on it, there are no bamboo rats in the cave.

After determining that there are bamboo rats in the hole, first cut down the branches and weeds around the hole, and then hit the ground from the outside to the inside with a wooden stick or hoe from all sides, the bamboo rats in the hole will soon climb away to block the soil at the entrance of the hole after being shocked, and escape to the outside of the hole. However, the bamboo rat has a strong bite ability and can easily bite through the snakeskin bag, so people will also tie it up with vines or bark and carry it home.

Of course, this ideal situation is relatively rare, generally the bamboo rat's hole is relatively deep, they may not run out of the hole after being frightened, at this time everyone needs to use hoes, shovels and other things to dig it out.

While speaking, everyone had come to the depths of the bamboo forest, and several people scattered and began to look for any yellow bamboos nearby. After a while, Chen Bin found two suspected bamboo rat holes, and Chen Ze also found one. Li Liang, Zhang Junjie, and Chen Tao gained nothing, and Li Liang watched and observed for a long time, but did not find any particularly withered and yellow bamboo.

Chen Bin used a shovel to clear the weeds and branches around the entrance of the cave, and then turned the shovel upside down, and used the shovel to knock the east and west, Li Liang and others watched around the side, holding their breath, as if they heard a sound coming from underground, as if something was scratching the ground with their claws.

After knocking for a long time, the things below never came out. Chen Bin picked up his hoe and began to dig up the soil. Li Liang and the others dispersed, Chen Ze took Chen Tao to dig the hole he found, and Li Liang took Zhang Junjie to dig another hole found by Chen Bin.

The bamboo forest is dense, and there are many stones in the underground soil, and the soil is relatively hard. Li Liang asked Zhang Junjie to stand on a plate, he waved his hoe, hoeing and digging the soil. According to Chen Bin's guidance, the bamboo rat must be dug along the hole of the bamboo rat, which is generally composed of mounds, holes, esophagus, shelters, nests and toilets.

Li Liang dug about a meter long, tired and sweating profusely.

"Brother Liang, let's rest for a while!" Zhang Junjie saw that Li Liang was tired, and said, "Let's go and see how Brother Bin digs!"

Li Liang was also tired and didn't want to move, after listening to Zhang Junjie's words, he used soil to close the hole he dug to prevent the bamboo rats in the hole from running away, and then followed Zhang Junjie out of breath towards the place where Chen Bin dug the hole.

Chen Bin is a few years older than all of them, participated in the labor of the production team, and has great strength. He had dug about two meters deep, and he was about to bottom out, Li Liang and Zhang Junjie were standing aside, and they could already hear the whirring sound of the bamboo rats in the hole. Suddenly, I heard the whirring sound getting louder and louder, and suddenly, a fat gray-black bamboo rat rushed out along the tunnel.

"It's out, it's out!" Zhang Junjie exclaimed.

Chen Bin hurriedly threw away the hoe, pressed the body of the bamboo rat with both hands, and said to Li Liang: "Liangzi, go find a tree and vine and tie it up!"

Li Liang's movements were not slow, he quickly found a soft branch nearby, tore it off and tied a slipknot, and then put it along the head of the bamboo rat that was held down by Chen Bin, and then locked the slipknot before Chen Bin let go of his hand.

Zhang Junjie's face was happy: "Brother Liang, give me a hand, this bamboo rat is so cute!"

Li Liang handed the branch he was holding in his hand to Zhang Junjie, and the stupid bamboo rat wanted to continue to run away, but was trapped by the slipknot on his neck, and could only squeak in place.

"Liangzi, Junjie, you pay attention to safety here, you talk to Chen Ze and Taotao, I have to go to work in the afternoon, go back first!" Chen Bin dug up the bamboo rat, and he was also tired and sweating.

"Okay!" Li Liang and Zhang Junjie replied.

Chen Bin went back first, and Zhang Junjie took the bamboo rat in his hand and walked towards the place where Chen Ze and the others were digging bamboo rats. Li Liang told Zhang Junjie: "Junjie, you will come over immediately by pulling a branch and tying a slipknot, and I will go back and continue digging first!"

"Got it!" Zhang Junjie replied, happily showing off.

Li Liang waved his hoe and continued to dig along the tunnel, judging from the excavated soil, it was slightly wet, and it seemed that there should be a bamboo rat hidden in it.

was digging, he heard Tao Tao's shout: "Brother Liang, have you dug it?"

Li Liang raised his head and saw that Chen Ze, Chen Tao and Zhang Junjie had already walked over to him. Chen Ze and Chen Tao were carrying hoes and shovels on their shoulders, there were no bamboo rats, only Zhang Junjie was still carrying his one, it seems that they should not have dug it.

"I haven't dug it yet, I don't know if there is. Li Liang responded while digging.

"The one we dug ran away!" Tao Tao sighed with a little annoyance, "We dug to the end and found out that this bamboo rat was cunning and cunning, and it had another exit, so it had already run away while we weren't paying attention!"

"Then you wait a while, I'm almost digging here, and I'll see if there's any goods later!" Li Liang responded.

was digging, suddenly, there was a whirring sound from the hole, Li Liang knew that the bamboo rat was also about to come out, and was about to slow down the speed of digging. At this moment, a bamboo rat that was a little bigger than the first one came out of the hole, Li Liang was startled, and jumped up subconsciously, and suddenly the bamboo rat got out from under his feet.

Fortunately, Chen Ze, who was standing on the side, was prepared, he hurriedly pounced and hugged the bamboo rat to death, while Chen Tao took the slipknot he had already put on from Zhang Junjie and put the head of the bamboo rat held by Chen Ze.

Looking at a bamboo rat led by Zhang Junjie and Chen Tao, the four teenagers, you look at me, I look at you, and I can't help laughing.

When they got home, Chenchen and their girls were gathered around the big basin to clean up the small fish and shrimp caught in the morning, the summer weather is hot, these uneaten fish and shrimp must be packed up and dried, so that they can be preserved longer.

Chenchen saw the two bamboo rats brought back by Chen Tao and Zhang Junjie, and the cute appearance of the two little guys was really cute. She couldn't help but touch the fluffy, round, and cute little guy. In fact, the bamboo rat has a relatively docile personality, and if it is not in a hurry, it will generally not bite.
