Chapter 42: The First Song

"How long has it been since you've seen a rabbit?"

The five people around Yougen surrounded the hole at the bottom of the tree, and among the five, Monkey Stone stretched his neck and looked into the cave.

"It's been years, what's wrong?"

"They multiply very quickly. ”

"Brother Root. The stone brain pushed away the monkey stone and reached into the hole.

Stretched his entire arm in.

The naphtha is still not touched.

"We don't have the tools to dig holes, how do we catch this rabbit?"

"Smoked with smoke. Arigen stood up, smiling.

"I've seen it, not far from this cave, there are three cave entrances, and we will light a fire in one of them, and send people to guard the rest of the caves, and we will definitely get a harvest. ”

Monkey stone, eagle beak, naphtha, and Fu Lei stood up.

Stood beside Yougen.

The smile on Arigen's face remained unchanged, and his tone was a little smug.

"I've found a lot of holes in trees like this along the way, but they probably won't be connected to each other, and the male rabbit has a bad temper. ”

"Brother Root. ”

"What's wrong?" met the complex gaze of the naphthalm, and there was a puzzled look on his face.

"How did you find these caves under the dead leaves?" said the wrinkled stone naphtha, his face solemn.

"Well, I have a good nose. ”

"Hehehehehe. Hearing this, Shi Nao smiled, and smiled very cheerfully.

I laughed very excitedly.

The rest laughed.

Under the command of Arione, the five of them collected a large pile of tide wood and wet leaves at the entrance of the cave.

The hawkbeak set the pile on fire with dead leaves and hay.

The fire is small, but the smoke is abundant.

The smoke was thick.

In a few moments, six rabbits rushed out of a cave hidden under the rocks and moss.

One female rabbit, five baby rabbits.

In a hurry, the stone brain guarding the entrance of the cave forked the ground with a hunting fork and grabbed the neck of the female rabbit.

Five little rabbits, however, passed through the gap between the legs of the naphthalma.

Looking at the young rabbits who fled in a hurry, Shi Nao shouted excitedly: "Monkey Stone, they are going to your side, don't let these rabbit cubs escape." ”

Then, in a situation beyond Arigen's control, a group of mad men began to howl wildly, chasing five little rabbits through the woods.

An hour later, in the grass, Yougen found a shivering, huddled rabbit cub and stopped the other four who were searching the carpet.

Over the next four hours, the five men under the guidance of Arigen robbed ten rabbit holes in a row.

A total of sixteen hares were hunted.

Nine fat female rabbits and seven half-year-old rabbits.

This amount of prey, far more than usual.

Then, with the prey they had just hunted around their waists, the four of them were very excited and followed Yougen to the place where the wild boar was infested.

"This is it. ”

One crouched down and pointed his finger at the road, a place covered with dead branches and leaves.

The four men fenced off the place where the root was pointing.

Gaze intently at the ground to which the root is pointing.

After a long time, the naphthal first questioned.

"That, there is a brother, there is no monkey dung on this ground?"

“...... It's not a matter of whether there is monkey droppings on the ground. Shaking his head, Yougen frowned, and said helplessly: "This is an excellent place to create traps. ”

The four of them all looked at Yougen intently, and their faces still showed doubt.

"Dig a pit here, the pit should be deeper, and a lot of sharpened branches should be placed in the pit. Facing the puzzled eyes of the four people around him, Yougen explained uneasily: "The end of the wooden stick facing up should be sharpened." ”

The four of them nodded in understanding.

"Dig a few more small pits next to the sticks in the pit, the size of a pig's trotter. ”

The four nodded.

Keep looking at the roots.

Look at it without blinking.

"What do you think I'm doing?"

The four of them nodded again, still looking at Yougen.

Yougen frowned and said, "What's wrong?"

"Brother Root. Quinnaphthax stretched out his hand, scratched the back of his head, and said, "We don't have shovels, so we can't dig a pit with a hunting fork." “

"Use a stick. One took the stick with both hands and poked the sharpened end towards the sky and towards the ground.

Then, under the shocked gaze of the four, one of the sticks poked into the earth.

Then, a stick was thrown diagonally upwards.

By the way, he brought up a large piece of land.

The action of the root is not fast.

But the holes in the ground are forming very quickly.

Looking at the scene of digging the ground, the four of them, such as the naphtha, the monkey stone, the eagle's beak, and Fu Lei fell into shock, and remained silent in the shock, looked at each other in silence, and continued to be shocked in the sight.

The big pit was dug up, and the roots began to dig the small pit again.

The small pit was dug and a two-meter-long wooden stick in his hand was skimmed in half.

The short stick with the tip left is carefully inserted between the small pits.

Yougen supported the edge of the pit with both hands and climbed out of the pit.

Standing in front of the stunned four, Yougen stretched out his right hand, his palm spread.

With a smile on his face, he said in a calm tone, "Give me the stick." ”

After being silent for a while, Fu Lei and Hawkbeak, who came back to their senses, handed the wooden stick to Yougen's hand.

The bottom of the pit was placed, and the camouflage was done.

After making a mark on the trunk of a tree not far from the pit, the five men who had hunted a lot of money walked towards the quagmire where the salt water was fetched, at the request of the roots.

The quagmire is not large, only one meter in diameter.

The five of them walked to the edge of the pool.

One found a bamboo pole and stuck it in the pool.

The five of them walked towards the outside of the forest.

Along the way, the naphtha, monkey stone, eagle beak, Fu Lei was amazed by Yougen's strength, and his attitude towards Yougen changed.

They were polite.

Polite to the point of stammering.

The people came to the edge of the field, and came to the hut on the edge of the field.

Baba and Feather were waiting there, fish frames in their hands.

The two saw the prey on the five men.

And they were amazed.

Then they cheered.

The cheers at the hut alarmed the woman who was collecting wild vegetables in the field.

The ten women came to the hut, and following the gaze of the tongue and the feather, they saw the five men returning from the hunt, and saw the prey hanging on the five men.

They cheered.

At the edge of the field, the prey and wild vegetables were divided.

Three female rabbits and two freshly caught live fish were left behind, and some wild vegetables were taken.

The seven of them began to walk to the south of the county seat, to the shack area.

Along the way, the delighted Naphtha kept telling the story of Yougen's performance in the forest in a tone of worship.

There is no shortage of beautiful words in the statement.

Tongue and feather, each holding two rabbits, looked at Yougen's gaze, revealing a touch of fanaticism.

Finally, Bayu interrupted the naphthal chatter of praise and said to Yougen, "Brother Yougen, teach us to hunt in the future, okay?"

Hearing this, although the words were interrupted, Shi Naobao was not angry but happy, and looked at Yougen with expectant eyes.

Yougen was slightly stunned, stopped, nodded and said, "Okay, no problem." ”

It's a cold winter, unlike the snow-covered Middle Earth.

There is no snow in the wild land outside the western Saiwai, and there is still a verdant green on the ground.

On the banks of the river, among the weeds, flowers bloom in the bitter cold.
