A rabbit jumping around, one foot locked by a rope, no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't break free. It was a big fat rabbit weighing five or six pounds, with two stout hind legs. When it saw someone coming, it jumped even harder. Outcome! All in vain.

Zhuang Zhou pounced and grabbed its hind legs.

"Rabbit! Rabbit! Big Fat Bunny! I'm counting on you for dinner! Don't run! I'm sorry! My stomach is hungry. ”

Looking at the pitiful appearance of the rabbit, Zhuang Zhou sympathized again.

Alas! There's no way! Had to eat you! You are a life, too! But? I won't kill a bunny! You're the big bunny! You can die.

Zhuang Zhou found a reason to kill it in his heart.

During the period of the Great Forum of the Hundred Schools of Thought, he accepted the Taoist doctrine that man is only a member of nature, and is a product of nature, just like other animals and plants such as rabbits. We are a big family and the rabbits are also members of our family, not exactly our food. If we use rabbits for food, tigers will also use us humans for food, and there is a reason why we kill each other......

Packing up his clasp, Zhuang Zhou took the rabbit in his hand, and set out on the road to continue his journey. He's still on his way! Before it gets dark, he has to find a village or a house to spend the night. Trade a large live rabbit for some food.

The fasteners made by Zhuang Zhou are actually very simple and practical. From ancient times to the present, it has been passed down among the people. Even in modern special forces training courses, there is this lesson to teach you how to make it.

That is, at one end of a rope, tie a loophole knot. And then! Put this live ring in the wild, estimate the places where rabbits and other wild animals may be infested, and wait for wild animals to drill. The other end of the fastening is tied to the stump or root of the tree where it is fixed. After the wild animal accidentally hits it, its head or feet are put into the loop, and the loop is pulled, and the loop begins to lock. Such! The wild animal was locked up and couldn't run.

This is known as a snap, also known as a locking footring.

The fastener used by Zhuang Zhou is only one of the simplest. There are many patterns of fastening, the same principle, and there can be different patterns to prevent the prey from discovering. And also! For those prey with a certain IQ, such as monkeys, the same use of tight buckles, the monkeys cannot escape, and they bite constantly.

Zhuang Zhou just tried to play, but he didn't expect that his luck was good, and he also caught the prey when he tried to play.

He put the sword back in his baggage, slung it on his back, and carried the live rabbit in his hand as he continued on his way. Having caught a live rabbit, he became more confident in his future, and his steps were much lighter.

He was only ten years old, and he had walked more than fifty miles today, except for stopping to eat twice, he had not rested. Visible! His physique and confidence.

In the afternoon, he came to a river, but the river blocked his way. It's not a very wide river, but it's very deep.

At this time, he was already far, far away from the Mojia branch in Mengxian County.

Zhuang Zhou felt strange, why was the road broken when he came here? A small river as wide as this should have a bridge, at least a pontoon bridge. There should be a ferry crossing without a pontoon bridge, but! There is nothing here.

"Do you want to cross the river?"

In the grass on the side of the road, a man suddenly came out and asked.

It was a tall, middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties. His actual age may not be that old, and under the baptism of the sun, moon, wind and rain, he looks a little older.

"Hmm!"

"You?" The middle-aged man's eyes suddenly lit up, and he saw the live rabbit that Zhuang Zhou was holding in his hand.

At this time, the big rabbit is no longer alive, but in order to prove that it is still alive, it is still quite mental.

Zhuang Zhou stood by the river, looking towards the opposite bank, wanting to go over early, find a village, a family, and rest early. He had walked so many miles and seen that there were not many villages along the way. If you don't want to sleep in the wild, you have to find a place to stay early.

Although the Song State did not have a reactionary war with foreign countries, it was often bullied by the surrounding vassal states. Coupled with the previous wars, the population of the Song State was not very large.

On the other side of the river, there doesn't seem to be a village in sight. It was not early, and Zhuang Zhou was inevitably a little anxious.

"You? Where did you get a live rabbit? You? The middle-aged man's eyes were fixed on the rabbit and he asked.

"Captured alive?"

Zhuang Zhou raised the rabbit and showed the middle-aged man the tight buckle on the rabbit's hind legs. In order to prevent the rabbit from running away, he locked the rabbit's legs with a tight clasp.

"Are you a disciple of the Mo family? Mojia swordsman? ”

Zhuang Zhou glanced at the other party up and down, and it was inconvenient to answer truthfully.

A smile appeared on his face, and he said very worldly: "Mohist, Confucian, Taoist, and famous family, which one has the correct theory, I am the one!" You? Brother-in-law? Are you a disciple of the Mo family? ”

"Me?" The middle-aged man was shocked! He never imagined that the kid in front of him would answer him like this. Is this the words of a child? This is clearly said by an old oilman.

"I'm a thief!"

"Taoism? Oh! It turned out to be a Taoist friend! Master Zhuang Zhou replied generally.

He didn't know that this "thief" was not the other "way".

"Hmmm! Thief friends! Good! Thief friends! Thieves can be stolen, very stolen! Friends, very friends! ”

Zhuang Zhou couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

"That's a good way, a very good way! The name is famous, the name is not famous! ”

"This thief is not the other way! Feed! Brother? And where is the silver that thou hast crossed the river? ”

"Silver?" Zhuang Zhou shook his head, lifted the rabbit in his hand again, and said, "I don't have any silver!" I have rabbits! May I? ”

"Rabbits? Good! The middle-aged man became delighted. All he wants is a rabbit, and he's been here for a day, and he hasn't caught a single prey.

"That? Brother-in-law? What about your ship? ”

"Boat?"

"How can you cross me without a boat?"

"I want a rabbit!"

"The rabbit can give it to you!" Zhuang Zhou said, hid the rabbit behind him, and said, "But? ”

"But what?"

"But I'm going to have dinner and a piece of rabbit meat."

"Yes!"

The middle-aged man said, dragging a large wooden basin from the grass and putting it into the water. And then! Let Zhuang Zhou stand in the wooden basin.

"This? Can this also cross the river? This? Zhuang Zhou began to be suspicious.

This wooden basin can only stand one person. It's okay to stand one child, but not two people at all. If both of them stood up, wouldn't it sink?

"I'll push you over! I swam over. ”

The middle-aged man said, really took off his clothes, took off naked, put his clothes in the wooden basin, and then jumped into the river water in early spring.

He also met Zhuang Zhou, if he met someone else, he would have already robbed someone else's luggage, and he didn't know where to flee.

He said he was a thief, actually! It's a roadblock and a robbery.
