Chapter 56: The Years in the Mountains 1
The next day it was sunny and suitable for going out.
The three of them got up early in the morning, and took out bows and arrows and traps from the firewood room, and loosened them tightly for a long time.
Sister-in-law Tan is still a little worried: "Sister Ran, don't go with them, the road on the mountain is not easy to walk, what if you fall." ”
Before Tan Ran could speak, Tan Yu was there and laughing.
"Mother, have you forgotten, where was the first time we met our cousin?"
Sister-in-law Tan obviously remembered it, but it was not on the mountain, when she chased after her, the child was still running.
"yes, my cousin was better than me at that time." Tan Chengdao.
"How can it be the same?" Tan's sister-in-law said, and then made a gesture of wanting to hit someone to scare Tan Ran: "If you run around again this time, see if I don't break your legs." ”
Tan Ran touched her nose, her aunt shouldn't know that she had run up the mountain alone many times in the past month or so.
"Okay, mother, let's go."
The mountain that the three of them were going to this time was not the mountain where they met last time, but a mountain called the North Peak that was ten miles to the north.
"North Peak?"
"The North Peak is the highest mountain in the vicinity, and the periphery is also very large, and there are the most prey in it. Tan Chengdao.
"Once, we ran into a wild boar on the periphery, do you know how big it is?" Tan Yu gestured excitedly, regardless of whether anyone responded, and turned into a big circle with his hand: "It's so big, it's two hundred pounds!" ”
Tan Ran asked, "Caught?" ”
Tan Yu clapped his hands: "No, the wild boar was crazy at that time, and we fought with it for an hour before we took it down." ”
Tan Cheng said regretfully: "It's just that the meat is too firewood and not delicious." ”
Tan Yu agreed: "The fishy taste is still very strong, let's go hunt some rabbits and pheasants later, that's delicious." ”
"Hey, cousin, haven't you hunted before?"
Tan Ran shook his head, hunting, it seems that there is no need, and there is no time to do these things.
Tan Yu patted his chest, held his head high and said, "Then if you are afraid later, hide behind me." ”
Tan Ran smiled and nodded.
A few people walked while talking, and they walked quite fast, and they reached the north peak in an hour.
"It's so high." Tan Ran looked up at the mountains at the bottom of the mountain and sighed.
I thought that this mountain was only a part higher than the other mountains, but I didn't expect it to be as high as four or five peaks.
Tan Yu took the lead and took the lead in stepping forward: "I will lead the way, you follow me." ”
The two hurriedly followed.
The trees in the forest have just budded, and the road is not very difficult to walk, but the more you go up, the road is not good, the farmers did not come here to collect firewood, and the dead trees and dead leaves accumulate a little deeper, and sometimes you can sink your ankles into them with one foot, and the three of them will inevitably be more careful, in case they encounter a snake hiding under the leaves to spring, it will be bad.
After walking for another half an hour, the originally steep mountain peak suddenly opened up, and there was a rare plain on the mountainside.
"Quick, there are rabbit footprints here, there must be a rabbit nest ahead." Tan Yu shouted, and then ran in one direction.
The two hurriedly stepped forward and followed.
I saw Tan Yu running, and then suddenly slowed down, turned around and shushed at the two of them, took out tools from behind, inserted two sticks on the left side in front of a bush, inserted two sticks on the right, and then put on the net cover, and went around to the grass again, carefully checked, sure enough, there was a hole, and quickly pulled out the mud to plug it, and the last hole was found, and hurriedly beckoned two people to come over.
Tan Yu didn't know where the fire came from, grabbed a handful of grass on the mountain, and was lighting it: "Cousin, wait a while, you put smoke at the entrance of this cave and smoke the rabbit to our side, and Erlang and I are guarding outside the cave, making sure to catch one by one." ”
Tan Ran nodded, took the tobacco in Tan Yu's hand, and when the two of them walked to the net, they blocked the smoking torch at the entrance of the rabbit hole, and after a while, they heard a string of running sounds in the hole, Tan Ran pricked up his ears and listened to the sound, the rabbit was cautious, and did not run to the bright hole at first, but first ran to the hole blocked by the mud, and the rabbit inside saw that the hole was blocked, and squeaked in a hurry, as if he was about to dig the hole.
