I have caught weasels before, but for Wang Manyin, this is the first time I have experienced it, and I feel very fresh.

So when Wang Qingming mentioned it, he immediately nodded in agreement.

It happened that there was no shortage of buckets on the construction site, so the two picked up four buckets of water from the fish pond and set off with a few educated youths.

Other laborers work for half a day, and their bodies are tired enough, and they are not interested in joining in the fun.

At the door of the house, Wang Manyin greeted the orchid and called rhubarb again.

On the way, Wang Qingming explained the location where the weasel hole was found.

They are all on the plateau near the farmland of the second team, and the distance is not too far, but the location is relatively hidden. In previous years, these caves had already been discovered by others.

This year, due to the construction of the earth dam, most of the labor of the second team was busy at the construction site, and he rarely went up to check on the hill, so he picked up a leak.

As soon as I climbed the first platform, I didn't wait for Wang Qingming to point out the *** place, and the rhubarb had already reacted.

The guy arched himself and made a fluttering gesture.

"There is movement," Seeing the appearance of rhubarb, Wang Manyin immediately raised his hand to ask everyone to stop.

This is the spring land left by the team, and the peas have just grown a few young leaves.

As far as the eye can see, there is an empty space, and everyone's eyes are unobstructed.

Wang Qingming glanced at it a few times, quietly patted Wang Manyin on the shoulder, and said in a low voice, "I saw a yellow squirrel, next to the sour jujube tree in the east. See, it's drying grass."

Following the direction pointed by the other party, Wang Manyin immediately saw an earthy brown guy, who was standing semi-upright at the moment, gnawing at a single rod of artemisia grass with his fangs.

In just a few seconds, it bites off the artemisia grass and drags it to crawl not far away.

"I'll go, what are you doing with this?" After Xie Liansheng saw the weasel, he couldn't help but exclaim.

The weasel has a very sharp ear, and when it hears unusual movements, it immediately squeaks out of its mouth. At the same time, he quickly ran towards the wild grass next to him, and disappeared in an instant.

"I didn't know the weasel could hear so far," Xie Liansheng said reproachfully.

"It's okay, it's better to go into the hole, I'm going to fill it with water anyway." Wang Manyin comforted and explained, "Just now it was a weasel drying grass to prepare for the reproduction of offspring."

The habits of yellow squirrels are similar to those of many ground squirrels, in addition to digging holes, they will also lay grass in the holes to make nests.

However, after an autumn and winter, their original old nest became moldy and spoiled, and it was no longer warm. After courtship, some sophisticated weasels will use new hay to make nests for their mates and decorate the delivery room. The inside is very clean and there is even a bathroom.

Moreover, after giving birth to the cubs, in order to prevent them from being caught by other natural enemies, the yellow squirrels will also divide the cubs into several groups and arrange them in different living holes.

In short, this is a very particular animal.

But Wang Manyin doesn't need to talk about these things.

"I'll go, really, this squirrel will also dry hay?"

"If you don't believe me, you can dig one up yourself later. But be prepared, you have to dig for at least half a day." Wang Qingming said.

"Forget it......" Hearing that it would take half a day, Xie Liansheng shook his head decisively.

Wang Qingming put down the bucket and dragged some weeds to completely block the hole.

Then, he took the shovel from Liu Xiangyang's hand and dug a shallow funnel-shaped pit around the mouth of the cave. Next, pour water inside. ….

Although the yellow squirrel lives underground, it is an animal that likes drought and is particularly afraid of water.

As long as they find the main cave and fill it with water, they will most likely run away.

As Wang Qingming slowly poured down a large bucket of water, the hole immediately showed that it was filled.

Within two minutes, bubbles were bubbling out.

"Everyone, don't be silent, the weasel is coming out!!" Wang Qingming hurriedly reminded him, and then tiptoed towards the entrance of the cave.

Before he could reach the entrance of the cave, a wet head was sticking out.

Immediately, the little one sprang out of the cave and ran wildly into the distant farmland.

"Rhubarb!"

Wang Manyin gave an order, and the earth dog rushed out quickly.

The weasel is far inferior to a hare, and only escapes a dozen meters before being caught.

Rhubarb opened his mouth and clicked, and came back to show off in a chic manner.

Wang Qingming still guarded the entrance of the cave, and did not dare to relax in the slightest. Since the male yellow squirrel has started to dry the grass, it is theorized that there is a female yellow squirrel hidden in the cave...... The family should be neatly organized.

Sure enough, just after waiting for half a minute, I saw that the hole was bubbling again, and another head appeared.

This time, Wang Qingming's eyes were fast, and before this guy could open his eyes, his thumb and index finger had already fallen rapidly, just stuck in the neck of the weasel, and then pulled it out and threw it to the ground.

With the two plump prey in the bucket, Wang Qingming looked a little high-spirited. He waved his hand and said, "Let's go, take you to the next cave."

Two weasels can kill more than a pound of meat, as long as one more hole is filled, 10 points will be in hand.

"It's a lot of fun to catch, let me try it later." After watching the process of catching yellow rats, Liu Xiangyang opened his mouth with great interest.

"It's just you, forget it," Wang Qingming shook his head repeatedly.

Catching a weasel seems simple, but it is not something that everyone can do.

Rabbits bite when they are in a hurry, and so do weasels. You can only capture the moment this guy emerges, and if the movement slows down for a few seconds, you may be bitten on your finger.

It is not uncommon for the fingers to bleed at the slightest and to be bitten off large pieces of flesh in severe cases.

Now everyone in the village knows that the educated youth are all baby bumps. If something happens, I can't afford it.

When a few people came to the second plateau, they found that the squirrel hole here was beyond imagination.

They searched and found a total of 10 holes within a radius of several tens of square meters. Judging from the traces, it should be just dug a new hole.

"Great, at least twenty weasels."

"If you think about it too much, there's only one real one here, and the others belong to the Ecstasy Cave." After Wang Qingming poured cold water on the educated youths, he turned his head and said, "Man Yin, test your eyesight to see if you can find the true hole."

He has a knack for finding squirrel holes, and can easily distinguish between fake and real holes. However, this ability is naturally not easy to tell others.

"Simple, Rhubarb ......"

Wang Manyin didn't plan to look for it in person, so he went out with rhubarb directly. Weasels live in real burrows every day, and the entrance of the burrow will definitely leave a strong smell.

For rhubarb, it's not too easy to find.

At the command of his master, the guy quickly stopped in front of a hole.

Wang Qingming was speechless: "The sun is cowardly, your dog is too annoying." ….

It took me a long time to find the real hole, but people found it when they smelled it.

"The more false holes, the bigger the weasels, especially the shape of the main hole, it is estimated that there can be more than a catty, we are blessed!!"

After Wang Qingming summed up a few sentences, the next thing was the same set of procedures. Dig a groove around the hole and fill it with water.

Unsurprisingly, the more complex the cave structure, the larger the weasel hidden inside.

When Wang Qingming got up with a fat guy, he looked extremely excited.

In the next second, he shouted again: "Full silver, as long as the second one comes out, catch it quickly!"

Wang Manyin didn't plan to do it...... With rhubarb next to it, you don't have to risk it yourself at all. In case of being bitten,

It also costs money to get an injection.

Seeing a wet guy escape, Rhubarb next to him immediately chased after him. A few more scurried around, successfully captured and brought the prey back.

The two squirrel holes were done perfectly, and the time was about the same.

Everyone discussed getting off the platform from the other direction and taking a shortcut back to the construction site.

As a result, as soon as he entered the cliff ditch, Rhubarb suddenly stopped, arched his body, and made a low and rapid sound.

This appearance is in stark contrast to the time when the weasel was discovered.

Wang Manyin immediately comprehended, and hurriedly stopped everyone: "Stop, there is a ...... ahead Prey! It could be a wolf!"

He would have said yes

Dangerous, change the words to the lips.

This is another place where rhubarb behaves evilly, and will react differently depending on the size of the prey found.

The last time I looked like this, I found a wolf corpse.

"There can't really be a wolf, right?"

Wang Qingming suddenly became nervous, and subconsciously grabbed the flat burden in his hand.

Liu Xiangyang raised a shovel.

Seeing that they had no weapons, the remaining educated youths directly took off the bucket and blocked it in front of them.

Wang Manyin was not overly alarmed, even if he really encountered a wolf, he was not afraid. The wild wolves of the Loess Plateau are generally alone or husband and wife.

They spot crowds and tend to pull away from them.

Thinking in his heart, Wang Manyin looked ahead. Due to a heavy rain just now, the sparse weeds in the cliff ditch are obviously much more vigorous, and some of the white artemisia is almost knee-deep.

But if there is a wolf hiding in it, it is still easy to spot.

As a result, several people waited for a full two minutes and did not see anything abnormal. Rhubarb still looked nervous and kept yelling at his master.

Wang Qingming couldn't help but say loudly: "Man Yin, I haven't seen anything, rhubarb won't smell wrong, right?"

It's not a problem to wait all the time, and I'm going to work soon.

"Let's go over and see, everyone be careful!!" Regarding the abnormal performance of rhubarb, Wang Manyin was also a little puzzled.

In this way, the crowd walked cautiously forward.

Just a few steps away, Wang Qingming suddenly shouted, "My mother!"

With the words, he jumped and ran back.

"What's up, what's wrong!?" Wang Manyin hurriedly stopped, and then his scalp went numb.

He finally knew why Rhubarb kept roaring and reminding.

"I, day!" Liu Xiangyang felt that his back was cold, and he couldn't help but retreat.

The remaining few educated youths were also cautious in making similar reactions.

I saw that in a crack on the sunny slope two meters in front of me, a large group of long worms was wriggling densely. Long insects belong to the local dialect of the Loess Plateau, which is often referred to as snakes.

Most people are not particularly afraid of snakes in the wild...... Especially in this era, it can be regarded as a kind of meat. If there were only one or two, Wang Qingming might be killed and eat meat.

But the scene in front of him was different, and the long worms occupied almost the entire gap, and there were two or three hundred.

It's close at hand, and the visual impact can be imagined.

At this moment, something popped up in Wang Qingming's mind. If it weren't for a few educated youths following him, he would almost have knelt on the ground and sung the lyrics.

Not only Wang Qingming, but even the educated youths were also suppressed. It was the first time they had seen a snake colony of this size.
