Chapter 49: The Four Stooges
"Sakura, you said that in this cold and snowy world, can the hare come out? Even if it comes out, it's bare outside, and we're unarmed, can we catch them? Akiyama wanted to go into the mountains to catch hares, and finally came, and he was worried about this, and he was worried about that, and Cherry was secretive, and he was in a hurry, and fanned the cloth bag in his hand indiscriminately: "What can I do with only these few cloth bags?" ”
This is really an impatient person, and he can't hold his breath at all.
Cherry pointed to the snow behind several people: "No, you see?" As long as we have this, we don't need a pig fork, and we don't need any bows, arrows, spears, and guns, and we can catch the fat rabbit wherever it goes. As he spoke, he shook the cloth bag in his hand: "This is not for you to catch rabbits, but to release the rabbits you catch." ”
"Yes...... Which one? Akiyama followed Cherry's fingers and looked behind him, empty as he was. He scratched his head in confusion and looked at Cherry with a puzzled expression.
Runsheng pinched his chin lightly, his long eyelashes flickering, thoughtful.
Miao Yuze blinked and laughed softly: "Who did you learn this method from?" Not to mention that it looks like a book again, why are the books you read so novel and practical? Such a good book, I have been reading for so many years, but I have not come across one? ”
At this time, Runsheng also reacted, the warmth on his face was even stronger, and the winter sun sprinkled on his face, clouding the light smile on his lips: "It's really a good way." No matter how big the fat rabbit of Ren Manshan is, he can't escape from your Five Finger Mountain. ”
Cherry smiled, deliberately a little proud: "This stupid method, still use it to find it in the book?" It's all winter snow covering the mountains, and the living creatures that want to forage for food are not similar to catching sparrows? "The method of finding the rabbit's nest and then catching it all in one net has no technical content, and she doesn't have to use any pretense. Her disguises are a little rotten, and she has to think of a good disguise.
Akiyama still scratched his head: "What kind of edge are you fighting?" What is it? ”
"No!!" Cherry had no choice but to point her finger again, this time pointing straight at the footprints behind several people: "It's this." Heavy snow covers the mountains, and it has been raining for so long, and the hares must have not eaten for a long time. As soon as the snow stops, they will come out to forage. As soon as you come out, aren't there footprints left on the snow? Let's find the rabbit's nest with footprints, and let it be cunning and can't escape. ”
"Oh~~~!" Akiyama's face was stunned, and then, he was very excited: "Great, this method is great!" You'll be able to catch a lot of fat rabbits if you stay for a while. This time, you must catch enough, you don't know, what it's like to watch these fat things run past your eyes!! And very flattering: "Sakura, you are too ghostly, you can think of this method." If you're a man, the prime minister can do it!! ”
"What's this good way to do? It's the same as catching sparrows, if you catch sparrows, can you still do this? Cherry tried her best to push the halo off her head: "Brother Akiyama, it's not that I said, it's just that you're too stupid." ”
"Am I stupid?" This time, Akiyama's mind turned quickly: "Didn't Brother Akiyama and Runsheng also think of this method?" Besides, you wait and see, see who catches more in a while!! ”
"Let's go, I can't wait." The eldest prince Miao Yuze wore a short coat and trousers today, and the trouser legs were tied up with strips of cloth. Just take a closer look, his white and tender skin, his straight waist, and his graceful and calm bearing, at first glance, he is from a rich and noble family.
"Let's go!!" Cherry is ahead of the curve. Last time, I saw a lot of hares in the mountains, and now in the middle of winter, there should be a lot of them. The market price of this thing is also very good, if you can catch more, your private money will be settled, not only has you landed, I'm afraid you can save a lot. If there is a good variety, you can keep it, wait for the spring of next year to match the seeds, and raise them at home.
After the heavy snowfall, although the ground is covered with thick snow and ice, the winter sun is very abundant, and the weather is not very cold. A few people walked along the winding mountain road and walked deep into the mountains.
While carefully searching for possible hare footprints, Akiyama said, "It's cold and snowy, and it's really deserted in the deep mountains, and there's nothing. Who can run into the mountains to see the snow scene, and who would have thought that there are many fat rabbits here, and there are footprints for us to find? ”
"Hey, there's a row over here." Yuze's eyes were sharp, and he first found a row of small footprints.
Several people hurriedly gathered around.
At this time, the hare should have come out to forage. This row of footprints should also have come out of the nest and not returned yet. Cherry looked at it carefully and pointed in one direction: "Let's follow the footprints and go here, and we will definitely find it." ”
"If there are really footprints, this method is really easy to use!" Akiyama raised his head to the sky and laughed three times, stretched out his arms to make a gesture of hugging the blue sky: "Great, great, this mountain of hares can't run, it's all mine, it's all mine!!!! ”
"He's ......," Yu Ze looked surprised.
Runsheng is commonplace, waving his hand, "I'm crazy." Let's go, leave him alone. Just let the cold wind blow for a while. ”
Several people looked for the rabbit's footprints all the way forward, twisted and twisted for a long distance, and finally found the rabbit's nest under a big tree.
"Here." Akiyama looked at the black hole in the rabbit nest and the towering tree on the ground, his excitement faded, and he was a little at a loss: "This ...... The nest has been found, but how to catch it? The hole is so small that I can't reach into it. Is it hard to dig up? But this tree is so tall, and we don't have any tools, how can we dig it? ”
"Or are you stupid?" Cherry put down the cloth bag on her body and took out a little tobacco from it, as well as two flint stones.
Miao Yuze knew at a glance, and smiled: "You think about it thoughtfully." It's also a subtle idea. ”
Runsheng also saw it, didn't say anything, just stepped forward to help with the fire.
Akiyama scratched his head for a long time, and he also saw some signs, and he was a little uncertain: "Is it ...... Oh!! Is it smoked? But it is said that the three holes of the cunning rabbit, what if it runs away from other holes? ”
"I'll keep this hole." Miao Yuze found another hole and squatted down. He knew that his hands-on skills were not very good, and if the hare jumped out of here, he was afraid that he would not be able to catch it, so he simply took the cloth bag in his hand and wrapped a few gravel to plug the hole.
"I'll keep this one." Runsheng helped the cherry light the fire, opened the cloth bag, and found a hole to squat.
"Oh......" Akiyama came to his senses, and he found the last hole and squatted down.
"I'm smuk," Cherry beckoned, carefully placing the small tobacco in her hand on the hole, fanning her hands so that the smoke poured into the rabbit hole.
After a while, there was movement in the originally quiet rabbit hole, and the hole that Akiyama Mamoru had harvested first. He laughed excitedly, only to have the second rabbit that ran out of him slip away.
After tossing for about half an hour, several people successfully caught two fat rabbits, one large and one small, one black and one white, all of which were packed into cloth bags. Then, Cherry was ready to go on her next target.
Akiyama was a little unwilling: "The one who went out to look for food hasn't come back yet, and the one who ran just now may also come back." Shall we keep watch for a while? ”
"Don't do things too desperately, if you end all the nests, where will we find them in the coming year?" Cherry gathered the tobacco and continued on the road.
"That's right." Yu Ze followed, looking at Cherry with some surprise: "You are a ghost, you have never been to school, but you know a lot of words, and your speech is always amazing." I'm not surprised if anything comes out of your mouth now. ”
Akiyama scratched his head and followed. Sakura's mind spins so fast that he can't keep up.
Using the same method, several people found two more rabbit nests. Together with the first litter, several people caught a total of seven fat hares. Because there is nothing to provide people with resources in the deep mountains in winter, and no one has found anything about hares, there are few people hunting in the deep mountains in winter. The hares in the mountains are simply overflowing, and they are easy to find.
But rabbits are easy to catch, but not easy to hide. Even if you don't want your family to know, you can't take it home. At this time, it is too late to go to the market and sell it. Akiyama and Runsheng's house can't be put either, let alone Yuzawa's house. But this living thing can't be hidden in the mountains, right? What if it runs away? What if the beast gets a bargain?
Several people calmed down, got together, and discussed many methods, but they were denied one by one.
Cherry sighed: "Three stinkers, one Zhuge Liang." But the four of us stinkers can't even solve a simple problem, and none of them can be used. ”
"If there is really no other way, I have a way." Miao Yuze learned that everyone also sat on the snow, rubbed his face with his hands, and found that sitting on the snow was not cold at all, on the contrary, it felt very good.
"What's the method?" Cherry really doesn't want to bring the rabbit home, she wants private money, private money, private money!! She only had the forty-three dollars in her pocket that she had sold fish at that time, and she had quietly put the money in it as early as when she was making a simple washing machine. That thing, which looked simple on the outside, actually had a few parts hidden inside, and she couldn't explain it, so it couldn't be reimbursed.
Yu Ze gently fanned his eyelashes, but the good son, even if he was wearing a short coat, even if he was sitting in the snow, he was still full of glory: "My family has an abandoned house in the west of the village, which is the old house in the past. Not lived in a long time, but there are poultry houses and pigsties. I just had the keys with me. ”
"That's just right!!" Cherry clapped her hands with a 'snap': "Why didn't you say it earlier?" ”
"But......" Miao Yuze rarely hesitated.
"But what?" Cherry looked at him with an eyebrow. Akiyama and Runsheng also looked up at Miao Yuze.
The eldest son in the hall, a dignified talent, and a dignified Miao Yuze, can't he still be in charge of an old and dilapidated courtyard at home?
