Chapter 8, Bush Vole

In the afternoon, Yang Fan slept until more than two o'clock before waking up. The elder brothers and sisters have already gone to school, and the younger brother Yang Kai has long been waiting by the bedside.

"Report to the commander, the company commander and all the people have gathered outside!" Yang Kai seemed to be very satisfied with his identity as a herald.

Yang Fan smiled and said, "You don't have to be so serious at home in the future, just order!"

"Yes!" Yang Kai saluted again, making Yang Fan cry and laugh, and he didn't care about him, went to the kitchen to drink a bowl of corn paste, picked up the equipment and went out.

The fifth nephew, Yang Yanneng, and ten soldiers stood outside the gate in a "military posture", and when they saw Yang Fan coming out, they shouted loudly, "Lizheng—— salute!"

Yang Fan faintly felt that something was wrong, but when he thought of the arrest and imprisonment of their group in the early nineties, three of them were sentenced to death, and his younger brother was one of them, so he hardened his heart, tensed his face and scanned them one by one with sharp eyes.

Yang Fan slowly walked in front of the big dog eight and stared at the future culprit for a long time, making the big dog eight break out in a cold sweat.

"You are not yet a formal PLA, but you can train with us...... Behave well until I think it's okay. Did you hear that?"

"Got it. "Big Dog Eight is panicking.

"Do you hear that?" Yang Fan shouted, if it was possible, he wouldn't mind taking the necessary means to wipe out this "sprout of sin"!

"Report to the commander, I will definitely behave well in the future!" said the big dog Hachi, afraid of being kicked out of the team. It was terrible to be "separated" in those days. In his previous life, when Yang Fan was in the second grade of elementary school, the third brother of the fifth nephew was "isolated" and sat down, and Yang Fan, his fifth nephew, and his sixth nephew were all separated, and they were "separated" for three years! One thing Yang Fan remembers most clearly is that the two leaders of the elementary school in the village kicked the third brother's dog for no reason, Yang Fan and the fifth nephew ran home to tell the third brother when they saw it, and the third brother immediately went out to reason with them, and they fought without saying a word. The third brother roared and slammed into one of them...... The leader bowed his head in a hurry just to avoid it, and then the adults arrived to avoid a bloody case....... since then the children in the village just didn't talk to Yang Fan and them, but no one dared to bully them anymore.

Yang Fan retracted his thoughts and ordered loudly: "The first class continues to pretend to be sparrows, and the second class follows me to fill mice!"

"You, in the future, you will follow the second class, and you will do whatever the second class does, and you must not play any tricks!" Seeing that the big dog was still there at a loss, Yang Fan shouted at him. Big Dog Ba hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes!"

The best time to catch voles is in the autumn when the rice is just harvested, and every year when the big brothers come back from school, they set out in groups of three or five, either digging with a shovel or irrigating with water, and each time they have to come back in bunches. It's early spring, and most of the voles have moved to higher places, where there are a lot of old and new holes, and they are far from the water source, so almost no one goes to water the voles at this time. Yang Fan has no choice, in this era of poor food, in order to lead this group of soldiers, there must be a good source of food.

The team came to a stop about a mile in front of the village, where the dry field meets the paddy field, with a drop of one or two meters, and the high pit foundation is full of holes dug by voles. Yang Fan took a closer look at a large hole full of new mud and decided to take this nest to open the knife!

Yang Fan found an exit at the highest position on the pit, pressed it with a bamboo skewer to nail it with a bamboo stick, and surrounded it with soft mud, so that the water would not flow to the side. Find the exits at other high places one by one, and then go to the water conservancy ditch twenty or thirty meters away in pairs to carry water back, fill all seven buckets and put them next to the exit at the high pit, carefully check the arrangement, and then say, "Pour water!"

Yang Rongxian, the second squad leader, nervously carried a bucket of water through the net bag and poured it into the hole, and after pouring it, he threw the bucket down the pit, and the people at the bottom quickly took it and quickly ran to the ditch to fetch water again......

Grunt....... seven buckets of water were poured out, and there was no movement at all, and the mouth of the cave was like never enough water. Yang Fan went to the bottom of the pit to inspect and filled all the seepage areas with soft mud. Seven buckets were refilled with water, and Big Dog Eight's pants were all wet! Yang Fan ordered two people to guard both sides below, and then called one to the top to keep an eye on the other exits, and Big Dog Eight and the other big guy were responsible for taking the bucket to carry water.

Started pouring again, one, two, three...... The grunt gradually became softer, and a wave of water rippled at the seventh bucket......

"Mouse!" Yang Rongxian exclaimed.

The iron drill in Yang Fan's hand kept guarding the entrance of the cave, and a big vole was killed as soon as it emerged. Pull it out and put it in a bag behind the thorn whisker, and motioned for Yang Rongxian to continue pouring water. The two and a half buckets of water that the big dogs brought back behind were all poured into it together, and there was a great tendency of flash floods......

Suddenly the flood did not recede but rose, and six or seven voles came out of the net to jump around, Yang Fan was suddenly in a hurry, fortunately, there were net bags to stop the voles and could not struggle for a while, three or four drilled through the whiskers....... the boy named Ah Liu, who was left behind at this moment, also rushed up and slammed with an iron drill, and the two of them were busy for a while before killing all the voles in the net bag....... then filling two and a half buckets of water, and three more came out....... and then filled with water, it was the silence of stagnant water, announcing that this litter of voles was finished!

Yang Fan was so tired that everyone was embarrassed, especially the big dog, whose clothes were almost all wet!

………

After a short break, he continued to fight.

In this way, after pouring about 10 litters, more than 60 voles were obtained! Finally, they were brought to the water conservancy and all of them were skinned and cleaned, and they were divided into seven parts, one for each person, and everyone smiled.........
