"Alright, we'll talk about it tomorrow. We need to go in and scout the way now."
Lin Mo and Wu Fengshou argued for a long time, while the two childhood friends stood there waiting.
He asked Miao Qingsong and Awang to go home temporarily, and to bring each of them a pickaxe and a sickle. He also brought his own two tools.
They then went into the mountains together.
Seeing that Lin Mo wasn't heading in the direction of picking pine cones, and that Old Man Mountain was on the right, the three of them were currently walking towards the ridge on the left.
He didn't even know what the mountain was called; he only knew that it looked even deeper and more remote than Old Man Mountain, and he had never dared to go in before.
Miao Qingsong could only ask one question:
"What are we up to this time? What's the name of this mountain?"
After walking for over an hour through mountains and valleys, the three of them were panting heavily. Lin Mo really wanted to get the deer and exchange them for three donkeys as soon as possible.
With a donkey, you can ride it around freely without having to walk.
As it turns out, good things always come with difficulties.
"This place is called Chicken Beak Mountain. There are two ways to get in. One is to go this way now, and then turn northwest after passing Old Man Mountain."
"One way is to go west along the Emur River. After walking for a while, you will turn northwest and come in from the other side. However, that way is winding and circuitous, so it's faster to go this way."
While briefly telling his two friends about their mountain adventure, he was also thinking about catching rabbits.
There are actually quite a few ways to catch rabbits. One is to smoke out the burrow and chase the rabbit, and another is to dig a pit.
However, these methods can only catch them one by one, not many at once.
If you want to catch a lot at once, you need to use clever methods—
First, find out where catnip grows wild, then dig a deep, narrow, and long pit between the catnip plants and hide the pit inside the catnip.
Catnip is actually camphor grass. This stuff not only excites cats, but also...
Let the rabbit go into heat, hehe.
Male rabbits will start screaming in heat after eating camphor grass, using the screaming to attract female rabbits.
After a female rabbit eats this stuff, she will emit a scent of mating, and she will stick out her rear end, waiting for male rabbits to be attracted by the scent.
The saying goes, "Man dies for wealth, rabbit dies for sex."
Using the lure of the slapping sound, dig a pit in the camphor grass pile, and put some grass that rabbits like to eat, as well as camphor grass, inside.
The rabbit that falls in will be panicked at first, but after calming down, it will continue to eat and rave, attracting other rabbits to come over.
whee.
Lin Mo, with a shy smile, told his two childhood friends about his plans.
Miao Qingsong and Awang blushed deeply upon hearing this.
A respectable person wouldn't dare to talk about this so bluntly.
However, I still quite enjoy talking about things I like to hear, hehe.
"Brother Lin, what does camphor grass look like?" Miao Qingsong asked, looking around as he walked into the mountains.
This amazing thing was something he had never heard of before, let alone seen.
“It’s easy to recognize. Look for the kind with small purple flowers, leaves shaped like pine cones, and a fuzzy surface. That’s it.”
"oh oh."
The two stared blankly, memorizing the keywords.
The two Miao brothers thought it would be difficult to find, since they had never heard of it before.
After entering Chicken Beak Mountain, they walked for only a few minutes before they saw clumps of tube grass with fuzzy leaves growing next to the thick, towering, and lush trees.
Although it didn't bloom with purple flowers, probably because it was too cold and the flowering season was long over, the tube was green with purple streaks.
"Brother Lin, is this the thing?" Miao Qingsong asked Lin Mo to confirm.
Lin Mo turned around and immediately nodded:
"Yeah, this is it."
“Just dig a trench half a meter long, half a meter deep, and twenty centimeters wide next to it, and after you finish digging, tie a rope to a tree next to it as a marker.”
"We need to dig at least a hundred places today."
Upon hearing this, Qingsong and Awang felt tired even before they had started working.
Wow, hunting isn't fun at all; you have to dig so many tunnels.
Without giving it any further thought, the two of them found camphor grass and started swinging their pickaxes, panting heavily.
Lin Mo had already found a spot and started digging.
One hundred places, that sounds pretty scary.
In reality, digging such a narrow tunnel with a pickaxe is very fast. At most, ten swings of the pickaxe are enough to turn up the soil more than 20 centimeters deep in a half-meter-long tunnel.
With legs together, waist taut, and breath even, a tunnel can be completed in one go, taking only a few minutes.
With the right tools at hand, digging a hundred tunnels is not difficult.
But the three of them still dug for a whole afternoon, panting heavily.
They dug everywhere, until they were dizzy and disoriented, unable to find the location of the previous tunnel.
Fortunately, they had hung a rope from the tree as a marker while digging, otherwise they would have had to stop digging as soon as they finished.
After counting that he had dug 35 places, Lin Mo put down his pickaxe and took a few breaths.
Then go to the nearby area to pick grasses that rabbits like to eat, such as alfalfa, vetch, and bitter chrysanthemum.
After picking them, throw some into the tunnel, then spread a thicker layer on top of the tunnel to hide it.
After seeing him do this, the two Miao brothers immediately learned it and followed suit to clean the tunnel a second time.
By the time all the more than one hundred tunnels were completed, the sun was about to set.
"How about we pick some pine cones before going back? It should still be an hour or so before it gets dark." Miao Qingsong didn't want to have no money for the day, after all, his family was poor.
After working so hard digging this tunnel for so long today, there's definitely no money for it. As for hunting, going along is purely voluntary.
