Chapter 438: Going out and hitting bad luck

As soon as I waited at the door for two minutes, I saw Er Mazi leading seven or eight tourists towards this side. Wukong saw the person coming, squatted on the shoulder of his master and greeted him excitedly.

Heavy snow covers the mountains, and the road to the town is not easy to walk, so many tourists are stranded in Liujiagou. They are idle and bored in Liujiagou, and they all want to find something to do. Er Mazi pondered, and simply led them to the field.

Now there is not much snow under it, which is suitable for catching rabbits in the fields.

After the snow, the fields are not too cold, and through the snow curtain, the nearby villages, and the mountains and rivers in the distance are vast and looming, and there is a sense of serenity and silence.

The snow is like a trowel in the hand of a mason, smoothing out all the ditches and bumps in the field. The wheat fields and roads are all shrouded in pure color.

Rural people like to associate snow with harvests, and there is some truth to it. If it doesn't snow in winter, wheat won't survive the winter and will easily freeze to death. The next heavy snowfall is equivalent to covering the wheat seedlings with a quilt, and the wheat seedlings can survive the winter.

In recent years, people have been lazy, and they don't want to go out on snowy days at all. In the early years, when winter came, there was no work in the village, and when it snowed heavily, many people would lead dogs and carry rabbit guns to the fields to catch pheasants and rabbits.

At this time, the hare could not run in the snow, and would often dig a hole in the wheat field and hide in it to gnaw on the wheat seedlings. The traces left by the hare in the snow are conspicuous and can be seen from afar. Experienced hunters can easily spot targets by following the trails, and some can catch a dozen hares a day.

At that time, the hunting team formed in the village could hunt twenty or thirty rabbits at a time, and every family could eat fragrant rabbit meat, and the small mountain village was as lively as the Chinese New Year. Looking at rabbit footprints is a science, and Liu Junhao doesn't know much about it. But with a little skin, these problems are not a problem.

As soon as I crossed the embankment, I saw two pheasants looking for food in the snow. A tourist hurriedly raised his crossbow, but before he could aim at the pheasant, he was already startled, fluttering his wings and flying out a hundred and ten meters away.

"Xiao Hao, you didn't even take a slingshot, how can you catch pheasants?" Dr. Wang knew that Liu Junhao's slingshot was very accurate, and a slingshot could break the chicken's head, so he was expecting him to go out, but it turned out that this man was empty-handed.

"Hehe, Dr. Wang, I said that my little skin can catch pheasants, do you believe it or not?" Liu Junhao asked rhetorically.

"You kid just blow it," Dr. Wang's expression was obviously not convinced. He is a frequent visitor to Liujiagou, of course he knows that Xiaopi is very powerful, but no matter how powerful he is, he can't catch the pheasant, that thing will fly into the sky. In fact, he had seen Little Leather chase pheasants before, all of which ended in failure.

"What if Little Skin can catch a pheasant, or let's make a bet, who loses and spends naked in the snow for ten minutes?" Liu Junhao was childlike for a while, and talked about the bet he often made with Liu Qiyong when he was a child.

"Really?" Seeing his conclusive appearance, Dr. Wang didn't know whether to believe it for a while, and turned his head to look at Er Mazi.

"Hehe, don't bet on him, this bear kid will win." Ermazi hurriedly stopped. Strip naked in the snow for 10 minutes and what to do in case you catch a cold.

"Oh, why?" Several tourists came in high spirits.

"You don't know pheasants, this thing has a fatal weakness called 'head and tail'. When startled in the snow, it will immediately fly, but it will only be able to fly a short distance before falling back to the ground. If there is a small skin chasing after it, this thing will definitely panic, and after landing, it will pounce down and burrow into the thick snow nest, just hide its head and leave its butt exposed.

There are white flowers everywhere in this field, and the pheasant feathers are so bright that people can see them from afar, and they want to catch them without playing to death, so the pheasants at this time are the easiest to be caught. Again...... Xiaopi's nose is that you can smell the pheasant even if you can't see it...... "The head of Ermazi's analysis is the way.

"No wonder, fortunately I didn't bet" Dr. Wang felt very glad that his brain did not heat up just now.

"Hehe" Liu Junhao smiled disappretently, "Actually, what Uncle Guangxi said is not entirely right, now is not the best time to catch pheasants, and it is best to catch them at night."

In winter, it is cold, and at night the pheasants are all nested together, and as long as they use a flashlight to shine a spot, they can't see anything, and they look around with their eyes wide open. As long as you stretch out the net and buckle it, the pheasants will be in your hand, and you can catch four or five in one net. ”

He and Liu Qiyong did this, and they were afraid that Old Man Liu would not agree, so the two quietly entered the mountain after dinner. When he was sleeping, Old Man Liu didn't find anyone at Liu Qiyong's house, so he thought something was wrong, so he hurriedly mobilized the whole village to look for him.

When he caught the pheasant and happily returned to the village, Old Man Liu directly pressed Liu Junhao in the snow nest and beat him severely, of course, the pheasant meat was eaten in the end.

After listening to Er Mazi's words, several tourists were waiting for the little pima to succeed. After a few minutes, I saw this guy return empty-handed.

"No, Xiaopi actually missed" Er Mazi also felt incredible.

"I knew I should have made a bet just now...... Dr. Wang frustrated.

Little Pi ran straight to his master, wagged his tail and whined a few times, and then ran back to the riverbank.

"What is it trying to do?" Seeing the strange behavior of the macular skin, several tourists asked puzzled.

"Xiaopi must have discovered something new" Liu Junhao knew his macular skin very well, and he followed closely.

In this way, the large army was led forward by the small leather, and when they walked less than two hundred meters away, the yellow-spotted skin suddenly stopped and roared at his master.

"There seems to be a dry well around here," Ermako whispered, looking at her surroundings.

"Everyone, stop, Uncle Guangxi, look at the footprints by the well......" Liu Junhao called out as he pointed to the messy footprints not far away. He had rescued grass civets in this dry well, so he was familiar with it, and knew that there were several large holes in the wall of the well, which were very suitable for birds to hide.

Xiaopi must have followed the pheasant to this place and found something in the well, so he ran back to find his master.

"Pheasant, so much" Er Mazi was about to call out loudly, and then his voice was lowered.

At this time, a tourist finally came to his senses and whispered, "You mean that the pheasant is hiding in a dry well......

"Very likely" Liu Junhao nodded and asked, "Uncle Guangxi, do you have a net pocket?" ”

"If you bring it, you should be able to buckle the wellhead." Er Mazi said as he put down the cloth bag on his shoulder, and took out a net bag woven of cotton thread from it.

Liu Junhao put the net pocket on the mouth of the well, and then asked the four tourists to press the four corners. Ermazi dragged two reeds from not far away and inserted them into the well and stirred them vigorously.

"Goo-goo...... Chattered...... Quack ...... "The bottom of the well suddenly screamed. Soon a bird flew towards the mouth of the well, and plunged into the net pocket.

Pheasants, whiteheads, sparrows, ducks...... It seems that a nest has exploded in the dry well, and all kinds of birds rush towards the mouth of the well. It's a pity that the well was covered with nets, and a few people pressed to the edge of it, not giving them a chance to escape at all.

There are fifty or sixty birds in this flock, but fortunately, the net pocket brought by Ermazi is large enough, otherwise it really can't fit. There are also clever birds who see that the road above is impassable, and fall directly into the bottom of the well, which can be regarded as escaping.

"Xiao Hao, how to divide it?" Er Mazi didn't expect to hit the luck just after going out, and there were more than a dozen pheasants and ducks together. There were quite a few other birds, but he couldn't see them in his eyes and planned to wait for them to be released.

"We have a share of the pheasants, one for each person, and let all the rest go?" Liu Junhao thought about it and said.

This is the rule of hunting in Liujiagou, as long as they come out together, the prey caught must be divided equally, even if it is soy sauce.

Everyone divided the pheasants into other birds and released them, and Er Mazi curiously leaned over to see the structure in the well. He wondered a little how pheasants could hide in the well, because this thing didn't fly straight up and down. When I found that there were several big holes under the wellhead, I suddenly realized, no wonder the pheasant would hide inside.

Since the beginning of catching pheasants, Wukong has been very active, stretching out his paws and constantly plucking his feathers, and plucking a few pheasants bare in a few clicks.

Liu Junhao knocked twice on its head before the guy squeaked and stopped.

After this battle, several tourists once again felt the intelligence of the macular skin, which is indeed not comparable to ordinary dogs. Some people even moved the idea of breeding, planning to wait for the panther to give birth to another cub and ask for one.

After tidying up the pheasants, they continued to wander around the wheat field. After not going far, a tourist found a line of shallow footprints, like plum petals, very clear.

"It's a rabbit print," Er Mazi glanced at him and replied in the affirmative.

"What's going on with these footprints, how are they so far apart?" Dr. Wang took out his camera and took two photos, then asked suspiciously. The footprints on the ground are often spaced at short intervals, and the farthest distance is more than three meters away, so you can miss it if you are not careful.

"Hehe, wild things are very clever. It is mainly afraid that the civet will find the rabbit's nest, so when walking in the snow, it always jumps far and jumps forward. ”

"Then let's follow the footprints, or do we split up?" A tourist asked with a headache as he looked at the footprints of white flowers everywhere on the ground. The tracks were in three directions, and there was no way to determine where the rabbit had escaped.

"Don't, I'll take a look" Er Mazi fought against a rabbit gun when he was young, so he is very familiar with this kind of trace. He squatted on the ground and looked at it for a while, and said, "It must have gone in this direction, for the hares, after they had eaten their fills in the wheat fields, often scurried to other places." There are also those who eat and walk, but in the end, they will return to the rabbit den and hide in the same way.

They are very vigilant and never dare to go where there are no footprints of their own, which is also a trick to catching rabbits. So if you want to get off the rabbit cover, just follow the footprints. But don't step on the footprints of rabbits, this thing is very careful. ”

The rabbit set in Ermazi's mouth is a ring made of iron wire, with a diameter of about ten centimeters. When the ring is lowered, it should be perpendicular to the ground, about 10 cm high, and the other end should be tightly wedged into the ground with a wooden stick
