There are two kinds of people who are very popular with children in mountain villages, one is a medicinal herb vendor who collects scorpions, firewood, and turtles, and the other is a miscellaneous skin vendor who collects rabbit skins, sheepskins, and dog skins.

In the mountain village, almost every child can pour something that can be exchanged for money.

Boys like to go to the mountains to catch scorpions, a scorpion can be sold for three cents, starting from the annual sting, one catches the beginning of winter, and the powerful child can catch one or two hundred scorpions. When the vendors come to buy and sell the scorpions, they can go to the village shop to buy what they like.

Girls also have their own money project, each girl will raise three or five rabbits, every afternoon after school, they go to the hillside to cut the grass to feed the rabbits, raise until the New Year, the father kills the rabbits, the meat is boiled and the whole family eats, and the skins are sold when they come to collect miscellaneous skins. A rabbit skin with a good coat color can be sold for about 5 yuan, and the money also belongs to the girl.

Five yuan was not a small amount in 1991, when the average wage earner earned 150 or 60 yuan a month, while the wage of a village worker was about 5 to 10 yuan.

After school the next afternoon, Wang Zheng made an appointment with Yang Ming and hurriedly ran to the place where he had taken off the condom yesterday.

In the mountains, in 1991, it was almost impossible to see predators such as wolves, foxes, and badgers. These carnivores are the natural predators of hares, and when they are present, the number of rabbits can be naturally balanced. Moreover, last year, the township issued a document confiscating all the earthen guns used to beat rabbits in various villages. After a year of breeding, the number of hares has increased several times at once.

As the saying goes, cats have three dogs, four rabbits, five sheep and six, which means that cats have a litter in three months, dogs have a litter in four months, rabbits have a litter in five months, and sheep have a litter in half a year. A pair of hares can give birth to five or six cubs in a litter, and after a year the cubs can give birth again. For more than a year, the rabbits on the mountain have become a disaster. There are many hares, and sometimes they even run to the patio of Wang Zheng's house on the edge of the village to gnaw cabbage.

Hares are the most harmful to the dealer, and a pair of rabbits can wipe out the crops of several acres of land. Hares like to gnaw on grass roots, and after being nibbled by them, all of them die in a short time, which really makes the farmers who have been busy all year long angry.

In this sense, Wang Zhengtao's hare can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people.

The two children looked forward to it, Yang Ming smirked innocently, and Wang Zheng clenched his fists and frowned, looking like a hero in Liangshan.

"Wang Zheng, do you think our sleeve can catch a hare?"

When he was about to get to the first place to put down the cover, Yang Ming asked Wang Zheng.

Wang Zheng, who was originally full of confidence, was a little apprehensive at the moment.

"I guess I can."

Wang Zheng placed the first cover in a fluffy grass under a wall near the village. For thousands of years, generations of mountain people have carved holes into fields with slightly leveler slopes and built walls along the edges with stones to keep the rain from washing away the soil. From generation to generation, there have been patches of fields on the hillsides and hills that are protected by walls. Along the wall there is usually a gentle slope overgrown with weeds, and hares like to travel from these paths.

Wang Zheng looked up at the pink note he was sitting on the wall, turned back to Yang Ming and said, "There's a sleeve here." ”

Yang Ming also nodded, he recognized the mark on the stone.

"Wang Zheng, the sleeve is gone." Yang Ming pulled the place where the sleeve was placed, but found that not only was there no trace of a hare in the grass, but even the sleeve made of thin wire was gone.

Wang Zheng took a closer look, but found that there were traces of struggle in the grass, and there was a mark of a stone scratching on the ground. Then he searched for the marks that had been scratched on the ground.

Yang Ming didn't have any experience, and he didn't see any clues, after all, it was very unrealistic to let a seven-year-old child's thinking be as careful as Wang Zheng is now. He frowned, glared, and followed Wang Zheng.

The hare's coat is the same color as the grass in its surroundings, and it is difficult to spot the hare at your feet without looking closely.

The peasants in the mountains have had the experience of being so frightened that when they were walking, they suddenly kicked something, and when they looked closely, they found that it was a hare that had run away. It can also be seen from this incident how superb the hare's camouflage skills are.

Wang Zheng followed the traces on the ground to find a sweet potato field, and suddenly, he ran forward and stepped on a stone, while the unlucky rabbit was lying under the sweet potato seedlings, motionless. It is estimated that this hapless rabbit is exhausted from tossing.

"Trapped! A big hare! Yang Ming excitedly jumped over and hugged the rabbit, but was pulled by Wang Zheng.

"Be careful, it will bite you! Don't you know that rabbits bite when they're in a hurry? ”

Yang Ming couldn't hide his excitement, and hurriedly asked Wang Zheng: "What should I do then?" ”

"You go find a thick stick, and we'll knock it to death."

Yang Ming nodded, and hurriedly found a thick wooden stick with a pickaxe.

"You hit it with all your might, hit it the door of its head, and kill it at once!" Wang Zheng said to Yang Ming.

Yang Ming sighed, spat at the wooden stick, and then smashed it the top of the head of the big hare, which weighed four catties. There was a muffled sound, and the hare kicked his leg a few times, and then he did not move.

Then, Wang Zheng tore off a long sweet potato seedling, untied the wire that held the hare, put away the thin wire, tied the hare with the potato seedling, and hung it on his shoulder.

"Did any other condoms lassoze the hare?"

Now, in Yang Ming's heart, he has begun to slowly establish a high level of worship for Wang Zheng.

Wang Zheng nodded, and said to Yang Ming with a smile: "Yes, there must be!" Grab the sticks and let's take a look. ”

"Let's go check it out!" Yang Ming's face bloomed with a smile.

Then, the two teenagers followed the path of yesterday's cover, all the way to the direction of the hillside.

However, the first set received a big hare, while the second and third sets did not move, Wang Zheng did not move his trap, but continued to look for the front cover.

In the fourth set, Wang Zheng and Yang Ming saw a hare that was even bigger than just now. Yang Ming was about to raise the wooden stick in his hand to smash the hare to death, but Wang Zheng hurriedly stopped him with his hand.

"Slow!"

Yang Ming looked back at Wang Zheng and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Let it go!"

When Yang Ming heard this, he looked at Wang Zheng with some incomprehension: "Why did you let it go?" ”

Wang Zheng looked at the hare that stared at him, his eyes full of pleading. Its belly was bulging, and it hid motionless along the corner, and Wang Zheng said, "This is a hare that is about to lay cubs, and we can't do too much." ”

Then, Wang Zheng untied the end of the thin wire tied to the stone, and then the female rabbit swished and ran away with the thin wire.

"Wang Zheng, the rabbit has a wire around its neck, will it strangle it to death?"

"No, the rabbit is smart, it'll find a way to get the wire down."

At this time, the hare, which had already run into the distance, turned around, as if grateful, and looked at Wang Zheng.
