Chapter 185 Capturing the Steel-Tooth Rabbit
Sun Haiyun works at a power station. This job is a stable one, both before and after the natural disaster.
Fu Baiwei knew very well that if Sun Haiyun resigned and followed her to join Hong Shuangyan's team, Sun Haiyun would lose this iron rice bowl and his future life would not be guaranteed.
So she did not agree with Sun Haiyun's resignation.
But she had to leave. If she continued to stay in the sewer, she would be driven crazy sooner or later.
She followed Hong Shuangyan to catch steel-toothed rabbits. They had no fixed residence. Sometimes they would stay in one area, sometimes they would go to another area. Whether to stay was mainly determined by the number of steel-toothed rabbits in the area and the number of people catching steel-toothed rabbits.
Sun Haiyun works at a power station and it is impossible for him to follow Fu Baiwei around, so the two people who have each other in their hearts can only choose to separate.
Wang Shijin sighed, "It's good for Fu Baiwei to leave for a while, go out and get some fresh air. Release your emotions, otherwise you will become a madman sooner or later."
Xia Xiaoman said, "You and Sun Haiyun also live in the sewer, why don't you become crazy?"
Wang Shijin curled his lips. "Sun Haiyun and I both have jobs. We can go out and meet people every day. We don't have to face negative information 24 hours a day. How could we become crazy?"
"Although I won't turn into a madman, I'm about to turn into a popsicle."
He pulled his shirt together and continued, "After the second snowstorm, the weather was just like a pervert, it was extremely cold. The temperature outside dropped to more than 70 degrees below zero, and I put on all my clothes, but I still felt cold."
"I heard that coats made of steel tooth rabbit fur are warmer than ordinary cotton-padded down coats. I am now saving fur to exchange for coats."
Xia Xiaoman's eyes lit up when he heard this, "You are also collecting furs? Are you free now? Come with me to catch steel-toothed rabbits."
"There are skuas watching outside and we can't turn on the lights. We can't see anything, how can we catch them?" asked Wang Shijin.
Xia Xiaoman smiled and said, "The mountain people have their own clever ideas. Just tell me whether you want to go or not."
Wang Shijin looked at her suspiciously, "Go ahead, let me see what tricks you have."
…
About fifteen minutes later, Xia Xiaoman brought Wang Shijin to her house.
The two of them froze a pile of ice cubes and threw them outside, stacking them into the shape of a square box and covering it with a thick iron sheet.
After the refrigerator was made, Xia Xiaoman threw a solid wooden stick to Wang Shijin, and then sprinkled the offal powder she had ground in front of it.
Not long after the viscera powder was sprinkled on the ground, a few steel-toothed rabbits smelled the scent and hopped over. In the dark night, a few white outlines could be vaguely seen.
"Here they come, beat them!" After saying that, Xia Xiaoman and Wang Shijin raised their wooden sticks and knocked the steel-toothed rabbit to death.
The dead steel-toothed rabbit was picked up by Xia Xiaoman and others and thrown into the refrigerator before its companions had a chance to take a bite of it.
The boxes made of ice bricks can block the smell of blood, so the steel-toothed rabbits cannot smell it and will not eat the rabbit corpses.
The powdered offal smelled fishy, but to the steel-toothed rabbits, it was even more delicious than braised pork elbow. They ran towards Xia Xiaoman and the others one after another.
Xia Xiaoman and Wang Shijin were playing whack-a-mole, constantly hitting the steel-toothed rabbits that ran over. They would take their chances and quickly throw the carcasses of the steel-toothed rabbits on the ground into the refrigerator.
Just as Xia Xiaoman was busy knocking the Steel-Tooth Rabbit, Wang Shijin suddenly yelled and knocked Xia Xiaoman to the ground.
"Fuck! Get out of here!" Wang Shijin looked up and saw a skua trying to open the iron cover on the refrigerator. He immediately raised a wooden stick and swept it across.
Xia Xiaoman got up from the ground, not caring about the steel-toothed rabbits all over the ground, took out a crossbow from his bag, and shot an arrow at the jaeger's abdomen.
The skua screamed, then flapped its wings unwillingly and flew away.
Wang Shijin said admiringly: "Excellent archery skills. How did you pull the spring of your crossbow in such a cold weather?"
Xia Xiaoman heard this and thought about how to explain it without arousing suspicion. But before she could think it through, the skua she shot swooped down and hit Xia Xiaoman in the face.
The skua was very vengeful. She shot it with an arrow, and the skua would not stop until it killed her.
But Xia Xiaoman also holds a grudge. This damn beast came to cause trouble, causing her to catch countless steel-toothed rabbits. If she doesn't shoot it down and make salt and pepper roasted bird, she will have the word "Xia" written backwards!
Seeing that the skua was about to rush in front of him, Xia Xiaoman supported the iron cover with one hand and jumped up suddenly. Then he grasped the wooden stick with both hands, gritted his teeth and gathered his strength, and smashed it hard on the skua with a bang.
The skua weighing dozens of kilograms was knocked away by her and fell into the snow pile nearby.
The blood flowing from the skua's abdomen immediately attracted five or six steel-toothed rabbits. Seeing this, Xia Xiaoman shouted loudly: "Pick up the bird! Don't let the rabbits eat it all!"
Before he finished speaking, Wang Shijin had already rushed to the jaguars, beat away the steel-toothed rabbits with a stick, picked up the jaguars and threw them into the refrigerator.
The circling skuas in the sky saw how strong Xia Xiaoman and his companions were, so they knew the situation and stopped provoking them. However, they would occasionally fly down and grab a couple of rabbits and swallow them while Xia Xiaoman and his companions were busy catching the steel-toothed rabbits.
When catching the steel-toothed rabbits, Xia Xiaoman finally understood what an infestation meant.
Just at the doorstep of her house, it could attract fifty or sixty steel-toothed rabbits. Who knows how many there would be in other places.
After catching most of the steel-toothed rabbits near their home, Xia Xiaoman and Wang Shijin moved to another location and continued catching them. After catching more than 200 rabbits, Xia Xiaoman stopped.
"I provided the method and materials. I'll divide the rabbits into 40 and 60 pieces. Do you have any objection?"
Wang Shijin was so happy when he saw so many rabbits that his teeth couldn't see his eyes. He waved his hands and said, "No problem, no problem. I'm already very satisfied to have caught so many rabbits."
He also tried to use something with a strong bloody smell to attract the steel-toothed rabbits, but there was nothing to block the smell. Every time he caught a steel-toothed rabbit and threw it into a snakeskin bag, it would be eaten by other steel-toothed rabbits along with the bag before it could even get warm.
This time he used a box made of ice bricks to hold the rabbits. Not to mention the steel-toothed rabbits, even the skuas in the sky couldn't snatch food from him.
Xia Xiaoman said, "As long as you have no objection, I have a large sealed bag here. Please pack the rabbit quickly and seal the bag before the bloody smell gets out."
Wang Shijin nodded in response, and the two of them loaded the rabbits and took two rounds to move all the rabbits back to the sewer.
Wang Shijin's rabbit, he wanted to take it back and process it before sending it to the trading point for exchange. Xia Xiaoman was too lazy to process it, so she directly took the rabbit to the trading point and successfully exchanged it for a rabbit fur coat and blanket.
After putting on the coat, Xia Xiaoman finally understood why the steel-toothed rabbit could survive in such cold weather.
The fur of the steel-toothed rabbit is so warm that wearing a rabbit fur coat is equivalent to wearing two mink coats. The warmth level is simply amazing.
