Chapter 54: Catching a Rabbit in the Mountains

Although it had been many days since the snow fell, Stone Ridge was still covered with snow mixed with dead grass except for the sunny slopes and barren mountains. The withered grass is decaying, and it looks miserable at first glance, but when you open the snow nest, you can still see thin and short green grass.

"Yunxi, don't play in the snow, beware of typhoid fever."

"Oh, here we are."

"Yunxi is not tired, is he tired of his father hugging?" In order to eliminate the shadow of Yunxi almost being photographed away as soon as possible, Ye Yuan specially took a few children to catch rabbits on the mountain, and even the clouds that were immersed in hard reading were pulled up, which is called a combination of work and rest. Of course, Li Zhiyuan, who will not be left behind to give New Year's gifts.

A few people talked and laughed and climbed the stone ridge behind the Ye family, but instead of taking the road taken during the Double Ninth Festival, it was a road that was leaning halfway up the mountain, and there were many springs on the side of this road, and there were many wild things that came to drink water in winter.

After walking for a while, Yunxi also felt that his legs were a little heavy, but he should be able to hold on for a while. Stronger than Yun Kai, he has already begun to bend over and walk. said to Ye Yuan: "I'm okay, I'm not too tired, no, you can hug Yunkai." ”

"Yes, Dad, I'm dying of exhaustion, where's the rabbit?" Yun Kai asked breathlessly.

Seeing that he was tired and panicked, Ye Yuan hurriedly took out a bamboo tube to give him water to drink, put him on his back again, and asked Yunxi, "You really don't need to carry it?" Let Fauber carry you, right? ”

"No, I'll go by myself. However, can there be rabbits on this day? Yunxi felt a little deflated. At a glance, not to mention the ice and snow, it can be regarded as snow everywhere, can the rabbit still come out this day?

Ye Yuan said: "Why don't you come out, if you don't eat, you have to drink water, and then there is a spring in the col, and there are many rabbits." ”

Ye Fu also smiled: "There must be rabbits, I have seen several rabbits along the way." ”

Yunxi was interested when he heard it, "Rabbit said, why didn't I see it?" In there? Fauber, teach me! ”

"Teach me, teach me." Yun Kai also came to the end, struggling to come down from Ye Yuan's back. Also interested are Yunxiao and Fu Junzhuo, who has been acting with the Ye family all year round. Anyway, if Fu Junzhuo hadn't gone home on time every day to eat and sleep, Yunxi really felt that he was no different from his own family, and he had more than a dozen cousins and brothers, so he just liked to find Yunkai to play with her.

Not interested only the duo of Yun Jin and Li Zhiyuan who walked behind, as soon as they went up the mountain, even Yunxiao, who usually didn't play much, ran away, but Li Zhiyuan and Yun Jin dropped out unhurriedly at the end, Yunxi saw Ye Yuan glaring at them several times, these two young boys and girls were still talking and laughing, and there was no sense of danger at all.

"No, look here, aren't these rabbit footprints?" Ye Fu walked and squatted down.

Yunxi and the others gathered together and observed carefully, the footprints were very small and light, and they could be seen if they squatted down and looked carefully, but if they were inexperienced people looking for them, they could only hehe, you can't keep squatting and walking, right?

Fauber told them to step back a little and said, "Take a closer look, if the grass is poured on both sides, there is a small grass ditch in the middle, and the rabbit is timid and likes to take the old way." After walking for a long time, the road comes out. ”

This is very reasonable, which reminds Yunxi of the words of the great writer Lu Xun: "In fact, there is no road on the ground, and when there are more people walking, it becomes a road." "The way of the earth is like this, and so is the way of the rabbit.

"Dad, how are we going to catch rabbits?" Yunxi asked puzzled, she remembered that she used rabbits to catch rabbits in her previous life, and she didn't know how to catch them here?

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Dig a trap, wait a minute, dig two or three traps near the spring, and you will be able to catch the rabbit tomorrow morning." ”

This digging trap is an ordinary person's method, how can my father use this method in kung fu, but thinking about my father's seemingly secretive appearance, I still don't ask.

After a while, I saw a spring, which was not large, forming a small water wow, the size of two squares, and it was full of yellow and rotten fallen leaves. As soon as he got closer, he saw a flock of pheasants fluttering into the bushes, leaving behind a bunch of silly rabbits. This rabbit is really stupid, when he sees people coming, he has no intention of being afraid, and he is shaking his beard and drinking water.

Since you don't run, don't blame people for being polite. Ye Yuan and Ye Fu each took out a pair of slingshots, took out the prepared stones, squinted their eyes, aimed at the rabbits, "swish" twice, the two rabbits fell to the ground in response, and the other rabbits were alarmed and fled in all directions.

Because they were carrying children, Ye Yuan and the others didn't plan to chase the remaining rabbits, so they tied the unconscious rabbits with straw ropes and played with the children, and began to dig traps.

"Zhiyuan, come and dig for a while." Ye Yuan only dug a few times, and then called Li Zhiyuan to replace him. I saw that this kid was not pleasing to the eye, so I found him some work to do, so that he would not be attentive to his daughter. This is where the entanglement of being a father is, although he has already made up his mind to give Yun Jin to Li Zhiyuan, but seeing Yun Jin smiling at him, he still feels uncomfortable in his heart.

"Yunjin, my father is a little tired after walking for a long time, you can rub your father's shoulders."

Yun Jin naturally agreed, so Ye Yuan enjoyed the service of his daughter, and watched Li Zhiyuan's stinky boy work, not to mention how beautiful it was.

The rabbit in a coma is nothing to do, Yunxi will have enough in a while. Look around with big eyes to see if there's anything fun?

Not to mention, let Yunxi find out, the spring is a little higher, a little green is revealed under the fallen leaves, Yunxi opened it and looked at it, happy, it was actually saxifrage.

Saxifrage is really impressive to Yunxi! When she was a child, she unfortunately contracted otitis media, and the doctor prescribed her a prescription: take fresh well lotus leaves (alias), squeeze out the juice, drop it into her ears, and then control it out drop by drop, three times a day. Poor Yunxi was at a lively and active age, but he was pitifully lying on his side on the bed, his ears sticking out of the edge of the bed to control the herbal juice drop by drop. It's hard to drip in and out, and there is a constant sound of small friends outside the door, and its depression can be imagined, so it's not easy to forget.

However, this saxifrage is not only curative, her leaves are round like lotus leaves, and the leaves are thick and cold-resistant, which is a good material for creating water scenes. Although the Ye family does not have a pond rockery, it can be made into a small bonsai. In the past, she used to take water stones to make them, which was very easy to take care of. But it doesn't matter if you don't have water stones, there are a lot of wooden stakes and lumps here, and you can do as much as you want.

Thinking about it, I was a little excited in my heart, so I picked up a small shovel and dug it.

"Yunxi, what are you digging stone lotus leaves for?" Fu Junzhuo didn't know when he came over, and asked curiously.

Thinking about the zodiac signs that Fu Junzhuo gave her yesterday, Yunxi smiled and said to him, "Dig it home and plant it, wait for me to send you a pot." ”

Fu Junzhuo couldn't see anything nice about this stone lotus leaf, but since Yunxi was going to send it, of course he had to accept it, so he happily agreed.

"Sister, what's so good about this, it's not good-looking." Yun Kai spoke so directly.

Yunxi was happy, and he was unhappy when he said this, and said, "Yunkai, you will have no friends if you talk like this, do you know?" ”

"Hahaha, send a pot to my brother, my brother likes this thick leaf." Yunxiao was more appreciative of his face, and immediately said that he wanted a basin. Yunxi responded with a smile, and made up his mind to find a few well-shaped tree bumps to surprise them.

"Oops, I'm exhausted."

Yunxi looked at it and smiled very unkindly. I saw that Li Zhiyuan was tired and sweating profusely, and there were a lot of mud spots on his body, and even there were mud spots on his face. Get! The young man has been reduced to a passerby.

"Zhiyuan, you can't have a body like this, it's far worse than when I was young. You can't just study and ignore your body, you know, the body is fundamental! ...... "Ye Yuan has rested, and he has drunk enough water, so he can teach Li Zhiyuan a lesson."

Li Zhiyuan is not stupid, otherwise he would not be able to pass the exam, he would have understood what was going on. But what can he say? Said you cheated me, didn't I do it? I can't, I can only respond respectfully, saying that I will definitely exercise well in the future.

"Well, yes, you can get up early tomorrow morning and come up with Ye Fu to collect rabbits." Ye Yuan commanded with a smile.

"Okay......"

Once the trap is dug, first spread thin branches on the cave door, then sprinkle fallen leaves and dead grass, and try to camouflage it to match the surrounding environment, and you're done!

Yunxi looked at it and asked, "This trap seems to be, if someone walks from here, will it fall?" ”

Fu Junzhuo smiled and said: "Yunxi, you are so stupid, you can't see the trap, can't you see the mound of dirt dug out?" ”

Yunxi thought about it, isn't it? Animals don't know what this mound is, can people not know it? This is not a war, and it won't even be able to deal with the mound, so naturally don't worry, catch it two or three times, the animal won't go from here, and then fill in the soil.
