Chapter 311 The Abnormality of the Wild Rabbit, Moonlit Night
Because Tian Fei's letter said that the leader's granddaughter had serious burns and urgently needed medicine, Mingdai did not delay and went to the bean field on the mountainside with Gu Sinian that night.
Before I got close, I heard a rustling sound.
Gu Sinian turned on the flashlight in his hand and when the light shone inside, countless small night lights in the bean field lit up at once, all green and lush, which instantly gave Mingdai goosebumps.
Sensing something was wrong, the night light started to move around and soon disappeared into the darkness.
Mingdai used her space treasure hunting ability to take a look and found that most of them were hares.
"Why are there so many rabbits?"
Gu Sinian was also a little surprised: "It is indeed a bit more."
The two men walked a few steps into the field, peeled off the bean clusters and took a look. They found that many beans had been gnawed off from the roots, and many of the bean pods had been eaten.
Gu Sinian frowned and looked up at the mountain: "They should be wild rabbits from the mountain. But why are there so many of them this year?"
Mingdai picked up a broken bean, peeled off the pod and took a look.
It will take another month and a half to harvest the beans, which is too bad now. If the beans are all eaten by rabbits, this year's beans will be wasted, which will directly affect the use of oil in everyone's home.
"But..."
Ming Dai let go of the beans in her hand and said with a smile: "Now, we don't have to go up the mountain to catch rabbits. There are enough for us to catch in the fields."
The two of them quickly started to catch rabbits.
There was no one in the fields at night. The rabbits boldly left their caves and hid under the bean stalks. Mingdai used her ability to explore treasures in space. With a wave of her hand, a dozen rabbits jumped up from the ground and flew into Mingdai's space with a confused look on their faces.
Little Mimi looked at the familiar rabbit rain in the space, and stood up excitedly and meowed. Unfortunately, no ear responded, so it meowed twice and lay back down.
It didn't take long for Mingdai to clear out all the rabbits at the foot of the mountain. Looking at the densely packed rabbit holes on the grass, she stopped with satisfaction and started searching for badgers with Gu Sinian.
The badger does look like a dog, with gray-brown fur all over its body. It is very alert and often disappears before Mingdai and the others get close to it. So Mingdai can find where it is, but she cannot catch it using her space treasure hunting ability.
This fellow is an animal that hides during the day and comes out at night. Its cave is right next to the ditch. Once it runs into it, we will have to wait until tomorrow to catch it.
Mingdai gritted her teeth in anger as she watched Gouhuan run away again.
Gu Sinian looked at the sky that was about to brighten, and pulled Mingdai to him: "Mingdai, give me the harpoon in the warehouse, I'll catch it!"
Upon hearing this, Mingdai took out the harpoon from the warehouse. Gu Sinian asked for a wooden stick, cut off some of it and inserted it into the harpoon to secure it. After asking Mingdai about the location of the badger, he picked up the harpoon and threw it over.
Mingdai looked at the moon in the sky, then looked at Gu Sinian holding the harpoon, and felt inexplicably familiar.
Perhaps, the beast that was planted in the soil back then was a badger?
“Hit!”
Gu Sinian woke Mingdai up, and when they went over, they saw the badger nailed to death by a harpoon.
Ming Dai picked it up and looked at it. It weighed about 10 pounds. "It's really fat! One more of this size will be enough."
So the two searched nearby for a while and finally caught another one before dawn.
After packing up, the two went to the peanut field and drove some rabbits from there to the bean field.
I was so excited when I was catching rabbits just now that I forgot. If there were rabbits in the peanut field but not in the bean field, it would easily arouse suspicion.
After finishing, Mingdai and Gu Sinian each carried two rabbits and planned to go to the captain's house to tell him what happened here.
They heard the sound of horse hooves before they entered the village. Looking up, they saw the little horse king running towards them, and behind him was Liu Laifa, who was almost out of breath.
As it approached the two men, the pony made a whinnying sound, lowered its head, and rubbed Gu Sinian's back, obviously wanting him to ride on it.
Gu Sinian touched its head without moving. He and Mingdai looked at Liu Laifa who was breathing heavily.
Liu Laifa was carrying a dung dustpan and was sweating all over after running. Mingdai waited until he had caught his breath before she spoke.
"Brother Lai Fa, what are you doing out here with a basket so early in the morning?"
Liu Laifa looked at the little pony king who was pulling the rabbit's tail with curiosity, with a look of resentment on his face.
"I don't want to go out so early in the morning!
It's all because of this ancestor. Whose horse doesn't poop at home? !
It doesn't!
It must come out no matter what. If you don't let it out on time, it will kick and bang its head against the door and won't stop for a moment!
I have no choice but to take it out for a walk early in the morning, and I have to bring a poop dustpan with me, ready to pick up its poop at any time!"
Ming Dai looked at him sympathetically. The little pony king had been corrupted by Gu Sinian.
Ming Dai handed him a rabbit from her hand and said, "Since you are here, we won't go over. We caught this in the bean field in the village. Tell the captain that there are a lot of wild rabbits coming down the mountain this year. The beans and peanuts have been seriously damaged. Should we find someone to clean them up?"
Liu Laifa was about to refuse, but was stunned when he heard this: "Here again? My father took us there in the middle of the night a few days ago, and now he's here again?"
Ming Dai nodded: "There are quite a lot of them. You should talk to the captain. It may not be enough to just drive them away. They will come again. It is best to find a way to catch them. This way, we can also have some meat and vegetables for everyone. It is not that we have to harvest wheat soon, so it is just right to give everyone an extra meal."
When Liu Laifa heard this, his eyes lit up. He handed the little horse king to the two men and ran back with the dung dustpan on his back.
