197 marmots, heavy rain and flocks

After preparing the tools, Wang Yuan and the others set off on horseback.

The morning breeze blows, and the vast grasslands float with the scent of wildflowers.

Xiao Suhe rode a horse and ran on the right, and some iron clips on his back made a rattling sound between the collisions.

"The weather is so nice today, we will definitely catch a lot of marmots, you should be careful later, those little things will not only call, but also bite people in a hurry."

Riding all the way to the southeast, crossing a few shallow ravines, and crossing a small river, you can see a large marmot hill towering over the grassland in the distance.

Marmots are groundhogs, the kind that will yell "ah~", and the fat ones are quite famous on the Internet in later generations.

Small things like to live in groups, and a large family can often build a huge underground palace, and the tunnels lead in all directions, which is very difficult to catch.

Da Da Da ~ In the morning, it is the time for marmots to feed, and a large number of fat marmots come out of their burrows in search of fresh grass blades and grass roots to eat.

Marmots grow about half a meter long and eat a lot of food in a fat day, but they don't stay outside the burrow for too long to minimize the danger.

The food was very fast, and before he could reach him, Wang Yuan heard a rustling sound.

The little girl was hugged in front of Wang Yuan, and she also saw the group of marmots in the distance, and more than a dozen marmots grazing on the grassland were quite spectacular.

"Ah, how much rice do they eat?"

"Haha, they don't eat rice!"

Xiao Suhe is a master of hunting marmots, and although he rides a horse and is bumpy, he still uses a small crossbow to accurately aim at a marmot.

"Yah~"

The marmot that let off the wind stood upright, and after discovering the ill-intentioned Wang Yuan, he stood up and shouted, his voice was sharp and thin, and the penetration was extremely strong.

The other marmots are also very alert, and the moment they heard the alarm, they began to flee frantically, whoosh ~ The tender grass blades in their mouths didn't have time to swallow, and they went directly to the nearest cave.

Sou~

Sharp brown bolts tore through the air, striking a marmot with precision, and the marmot squeaked and screamed.

"These little things are so fast, not bad, they can shoot one."

Xiao Su got off his horse and strode over, obviously quite satisfied with the marmot he shot, and after giving the other party a good time, he began to prepare to catch the other marmots.

Wang Yuan and a few people came to play, taking pictures, helping Xiao Suhe to do things, and opening his eyes.

The last time I came, Wang Yuan and Xiao Suhe caught marmots together, and now I still think it's quite interesting to catch them again.

Looking around, I saw that the surroundings were not flat, in addition to the large and small marmot mounds, there were some bushes, as well as a large number of ** stones on the ground, and many holes were next to the bushes or stones.

"Let's see if we can smoke them out, two of them last time, and I don't know if I can smoke two more this time."

Xiao Suhe is very relaxed, enjoying, catching marmots is one of the joys of his life, cutting a lot of hay, and skillfully burying some holes, arranging iron clips on other holes.

"Later, light a fire from this hole and blow all the smoke into it, and the marmot will come out if it can't stand it!" ….

Xiao Suhe had an "evil" smile on his face, and there was a lot of dust stuck to his trouser legs, and he didn't care about these things and quickly lit the fire after everything was arranged.

"Huhuhu~"

Xiao Suhe lay on the ground and blew, and the smoke made him cry.

"Can it really work?"

Li Yan stood on Wang Yuan's right with her hands on her hips, and glanced at Wang Yuan, she felt that this matter was so unreliable.

Marmot mounds are made of soil dug up by marmots, and you can see how much smoke is needed for such a large space by looking at the oversized marmot mounds.

Wang Yuan laughed: "No, it's okay...... Don't worry too much about the outcome, experience the process, and come and help."

asked Xiao Su He, Wang Yuan him

They found two more marmot holes, dug them up with shovels, lit them with hay and continued to smoke.

The little girl was the most active in this matter, and she blew the ground, and soon she was covered in dust and her face was full of smoke.

Click~

Wang Yuan took a photo of the little girl lying on the ground, the little girl puffed out her cheeks and blew cigarettes, of course, if this photo was seen by her parents, the little girl would definitely be beaten.

"Uh~"

There were several big birds circling in the sky, and Wang Yuan looked up and saw that it was a few eagles.

"It's an eagle, and it's good to catch an eagle and help hunt it...... Hey, little Suhe, do you know anyone who raises the eagle?"

Xiao Suhe was lying on the ground and blowing a cigarette, blowing his own head was dizzy and swollen with a little lack of oxygen, and he didn't hear Wang Yuan's words clearly at all.

Wang Yuan said it twice more before he could hear it clearly, sat on the ground with his buttocks, pulled the water bag and said a few times, "Raise the eagle? Yes, my Uncle Bagan has an eagle and his pasture is on the south side......

Suddenly.

Before Xiao Suhe's words were finished, a marmot jumped out of the hole guarded by the little girl, and the gray-haired marmot with a whoosh~20 catties jumped through the flames, directly bumped the little girl's head, and then ran away quickly.

"Ahh

The sudden appearance of the marmot scared the little girl and screamed loudly, Xiao Suhe reacted, turned over and went to chase the marmot, don't look at the marmot's fat and flesh, but the four little paws ran down a small hill and soon ran away.

Wang Yuan rushed over to pick up the little girl, and after checking it, he was relieved to find that the little girl was not injured.

"Second brother, the big rat bumped into me."

The little girl's pear blossoms are raining, and there are tears on her smoky little face.

"Okay, okay, don't cry~ Xiao Suhe went after the marmot, and he could be caught back later."

"Mmmm, can you eat marmot meat?" Speaking of eating, the little girl also licked the corners of her mouth, and in an instant Li Yan and Li Ping both laughed.

Wild marmot meat is edible, it is fragrant and tender and better than pork, but marmots may carry the plague virus, and there is a certain risk in eating his meat.

There are people who have died of plague as a result of contact with marmots.

Soon after, Xiao Suhe came back on horseback, still carrying the fleeing marmot in his hand, tired and panting:

"This little thing is quite capable of running, and almost let him get into the makeshift den, but I caught him back with a good move." ….

Marmots are very cunning, and there will be some temporary nests in the wild, and they can run to the temporary nests to hide in case of emergency.

However, the temporary nest is relatively shallow and short, and it is easier to catch even if you drill into the temporary nest.

After waiting a little longer, two more marmots came out of the smoke and nothing else.

Several people got on their horses and left the place, and soon came to the next marmot mound, where they continued to catch marmots.

The hunting tools of this era were quite rudimentary, which also gave marmots a chance to breathe, and in later generations, it would be very simple to catch marmots with technology.

Although the marmot is cute, many grassland people hate these little things very much.

A large number of grass roots were gnawed by them, and the grassland was seriously damaged, and the cattle and sheep had nothing to eat.

……

A hunting operation caught 7 marmots, a dark cloud drifted into the sky was gloomy, Wang Yuan and his party packed their things and rushed to the camp, and met a hare.

Bang~

Wang Yuan knocked down the hare with one shot, and galloped over on a horse to pick up the hare, Wang Yuan smiled like a trumpet flower:

"Hey, this rabbit is quite fat, I'm afraid it weighs four or five pounds, it's really a hare sent to the door."

Thundered~

The suppressed muffled thunder sounded, and the dark clouds in the sky were getting darker and darker, and they looked lower and lower, and the electric light that made the scalp tingle was in the dark clouds

Wandering.

"There's a big rain coming, let's go back quickly." Xiao Suhe frowned tightly, looking at the dark clouds in the sky with a sad face.

He is not worried about himself, but worried about his father Lao Suhe, who has gone to herd the sheep, the heavy rain is likely to make the sheep frightened, run around, the sheep are an important property of the herdsmen, as long as the sheep run around, the old Suhe will definitely chase after it.

But in such a ghost weather, if Lao Suhe goes to chase sheep again, it will be very easy to have an accident.

All the way to gallop.

After returning to the camp, she didn't get off the horse at all, and the anxious Uzhina came over: "Xiao Suhe, go and find you Abu, such a ghost weather......

It's only 11 o'clock in the morning, but the cold wind is blowing, the dark clouds are rolling, and the black pressure is like 7~8 o'clock in the evening.

There is nothing to shelter on the grassland, the wind is getting stronger and stronger, not only blowing Wu Rina, Li Yan, Li Ping and others with their hair flying, but also blowing some debris rolling everywhere, crackling and crackling.

"Okay, I'll go and bring my Abu back for sure." Xiao Suhe was also very anxious, turned his head to look at Wang Yuan, and stopped talking.

He wanted Wang Yuan to go with him, after all, there were many people and many powers, but he was embarrassed to speak.

For the herdsmen on the grassland, they feel that the status of the guests is high, and it would be rude to ask the guests to do things.

Although many herders have never been to school and are illiterate, they are very clear about some matters of etiquette.

"Xiao Suhe, I'll go with you, Yanzi, you quickly take them into the yurt, don't come out, just stay inside."

There was no problem for Wang Yuan to bring it up by himself, and he explained that he rode away directly with Xiao Suhe, the dust was flying, the blades of grass were flying, and soon he couldn't see Wang Yuan and Xiao Suhe clearly.

Thundered~....

The thunder became more and more intense, and the thunder was like a drum beating on the heart, and Uzhina stood at the door praying with a reverent face to her husband, son, and Wang Yuan:

"Bless your people, bless ......, great immortal heaven."

Li Yan, Li Ping, the little girl, Tuya and Lakshen stood next to her, and the little girl was still holding the big white cat in her arms.

Li Ping whispered, "Sister, the storm is such a big brother-in-law, they'll be fine, right?"

"It's going to be fine, don't worry." Li Yan prayed like Urina, her words were just comforting herself.

Next to him, Lakshin looked at his thin arm, he didn't look like a prairie man at all, sighed and made up his mind to exercise, if he could be stronger, he could help the family share more.

……

Thundered~

After almost an hour, rain began to fall from the sky.

The rain was very heavy, hitting the railings, the yurts, and the sheepfolds crackling.

At first, the rain was sparse, but soon the raindrops were connected into lines, and then a dense rain curtain was formed.

Boom~

The heavy rain was pouring down, and through the layers of rain curtains, they couldn't see the shadows of Wang Yuan and a few people, and Wu Rina and the others instantly became more anxious.

Like ants on a hot pot, several people were completely panicked, and they couldn't come up with an idea after talking about it, and finally just when they were about to go out to look for it, they saw Wang Yuan and them coming back from a distance.

The head sheep is an old ram with only crooked horns, walking slowly in the front, followed by a large number of sheep who endure heavy rain and walk silently with their heads down.

"Baa~"

"Baa~"

Occasionally, a sheep cry sounded, and some sheep couldn't stand the muffled thunder and heavy rain and wanted to run away, but they were driven back by the dog and Wang Yuan.

Xiao Suhe was on the left side of the flock, Wang Yuan was on the right, and Lao Suhe was at the end, and the hounds were running around in the form of shepherd dogs, and the situation was under control.

Looking at the camp in the distance, Wang Yuan, who was drenched all over, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, wiped the rain on his face, and the sour pain on his buttocks made him want to get off the horse.

I haven't ridden a horse for a long time, and my butt is about to wear out after riding a little more in the past two days.

"It's finally back, as long as the sheep don't lose much." When Wang Yuan and Xiao Suhe met Old Suhe, the sheep had already divided into several groups and began to flee, and they were frightened by the sound of thunder and heavy rain.

The anxious old Su He hurriedly chased after him, but in the end he almost fell off the horse.

Wang Yuan and the others went very timely and chased back some sheep, but some of them must have run away.

Click~

After opening the wet sheepfold, driving all the sheep in, and preparing some forage to feed the underfed sheep, Wang Yuan and the three returned to the yurt.

The sheepfold has a top, which not only shelters from the wind and rain but also keeps out the cold, and the sheep live very well.

Wang Yuan and the others changed their clothes and drank steaming milk tea, like Wu Rina and Li Yan, they told what they had done, Li Yan and they listened with relish, as if they were immersed in the excitement of chasing sheep.

"There are more than 20 sheep in the second group I chased, and those sheep are really stupid, the more they chase, the faster they run, and if they can't catch up, they will lose a lot...... Luckily, I got it back."

Xiao Suhe drank milk tea in a big gulp, and he felt like a great hero when he talked excitedly.

Lao Suhe sat on the side with his brows furrowed, sighing for a long time, he was angry in his heart, hating God for the sudden heavy rain, and he was also very old and weak was not as strong as when he was young, and he felt sorry for today's loss.

It didn't look good for anything, and finally poured his anger directly on his youngest son Lakshen:

"Go, go to the sheepfold and count how many sheep are left! I don't do any work...... Count the wrong one and break your leg."

The emaciated Rakshin shuddered, and his father was angry with himself every time he was angry, powerless to resist, which made him hate this family and had the idea of running away from it.

Numbly, he lowered his head and walked out, and Lakshin quickly left the yurt.
