In fact, Zhou Ziwen didn’t think it was very dangerous to take people into the mountains.
There is strength in numbers. As long as they don't encounter ferocious beasts like tigers and leopards, they generally won't attack when they see so many of them.
Moreover, he took Zhou Chaoyang and the others to the back of Niutou Mountain, which was so close to the village that they would generally not encounter such large wild beasts.
Along the way up the mountain, the Chen sisters and Shen Zhaodi were all a little excited.
This is a deep mountain, a place they have never set foot in.
When you reach the top of Niutou Mountain, you will see lush forests everywhere and the fresh breath of nature will hit you.
Tayun has been to some mountains. Perhaps it is the genes in its bones that make it seem rather silent. It no longer wags its tail, but half hangs behind its butt. Its two ears stand up high, shaking from time to time, collecting the movements around it.
"It looks a bit like a hunting dog." Zhou Ziwen nodded with satisfaction.
It was worth it for him to give up other hunting skills and waste time to improve his dog training skills.
Apart from anything else, if he improved his skill in trap making, he might be able to catch prey every few days.
But as Tayun grows older, letting it receive training earlier can improve its hunting skills more efficiently.
After all, time waits for no one. Now is the time when Tayun is growing rapidly. Every day of delay is a loss.
"Wow, this is the inner mountain. It's so spectacular. There are mountains all over there!" Chen Qiaoyi, Shen Zhaodi and others looked at the distance in amazement.
They were now standing on the top of Niutou Mountain. They were standing high and could see far. Although the mountains behind them were higher and they could not see the mountains farther away, this was enough.
They had only seen this kind of scene in books, and it was not as shocking as seeing it with their own eyes.
"Yes, there are a lot of good things in the inner mountain. Just don't feel tired later." Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.
"That definitely won't happen." Zhou Chaoyang said confidently.
After this period of labor, his body has become much stronger. Apart from other things, at least walking ten kilometers of mountain roads is not a problem for him.
"Okay, let's go!" Zhou Ziwen smiled and did not refute.
Whether it works or not, just let the facts speak for themselves.
Just as Zhou Ziwen said, there are many good things in the mountains, including wild fruits and vegetables.
There are also some plants that are both herbs and wild vegetables.
Because few people come here, the supplies are relatively abundant, and Zhou Ziwen doesn't like to pick anything that is not delicious.
But now the village is on holiday and everyone has time to go out. During this period, the villagers will go into the mountains in groups.
These good things in the mountains cannot be kept.
Normally everyone is at work and has no time to go to work. Moreover, if no one goes into the mountains together, no one dares to come in easily.
But when there are more people, no one is afraid of encountering danger.
Because he often goes into the mountains, Zhou Ziwen is familiar with the plants there. He knows which wild grasses taste good and which herbs are of high value.
Especially after he mastered the medical skills, he became more professional in this area.
Some insignificant things have higher value in his eyes.
For example, Datura is poisonous, but it is indeed the main ingredient of ancient Ma Fei San and Yunnan Baiyao. In addition, its seeds can also be used to treat sleep.
Of course, this thing is poisonous after all, and only professional doctors would dare to use it casually.
There is also Bidens pilosa. Fresh and tender Bidens pilosa can be eaten as a vegetable and tastes very good.
There are also nightshade, yellow robe and so on.
As they walked, Zhou Chaoyang and his companions' backpacks gradually became heavier, especially Zhou Chaoyang. As a man, the heavier things naturally weighed on him.
“Woof…Woo…”
Just when Zhou Chaoyang was making a bitter face and regretting that he had boasted too early, Ta Yun, who had been following them, made a discovery.
It hurriedly ran to a cave entrance, digging the ground with its claws, and turned its head to look at Zhou Ziwen, as if telling him its discovery.
"Tayun, good job." Zhou Ziwen walked forward, bent down and touched its head.
"Brother Zhou, have you found anything?" Zhou Chaoyang came to the entrance of the cave excitedly.
The entrance to the cave was not big, it could even be said to be very small, and it was surrounded by weeds. If it weren't for Stepping into the Cloud, they would not have been able to find it at all.
"This cave should not be the entrance where things often enter and exit. There must be other entrances. So, Chaoyang, you block this entrance first. Tayun and I will look around to see if we can find other entrances." Zhou Ziwen observed for a while and spoke.
A cunning rabbit has three burrows. Generally speaking, if it is a rabbit, its burrow will have three exits.
"Brother Ziwen, let me help you find it." Chen Qiaoyi came over excitedly to help.
"Okay!" Zhou Ziwen nodded in agreement.
There is strength in numbers. Zhou Chaoyang had to guard the cave entrance and seal it, while the Chen sisters and Shen Zhaodi dispersed and searched everywhere nearby with sickles.
Zhou Ziwen and Tayun were the first to make the discovery.
"There is also a cave entrance here." Zhou Ziwen waved Chen Qiaoyi over.
"Brother Ziwen, do we need to seal this hole too?" Chen Qiaoyi ran over and asked excitedly.
She found it very interesting. Although she didn't know if it was a rabbit hole, seeing how much Zhou Ziwen took it seriously, there must be something inside.
In fact, Zhou Ziwen couldn't be sure whether there was anything inside, but judging from Tayun's reaction, there should be.
"Close it first, I'll look for it later." Zhou Ziwen nodded.
"Ziwen, come here quickly, there is also a hole here." At this moment, Chen Shiying, who was not far away, also made a discovery.
"Here I come!" Zhou Ziwen hurried over.
As soon as he passed by, he found a hole that was slightly larger than the two previous ones. This hole was smoother and it was obvious that things went in and out frequently.
Zhou Ziwen had sharp eyes and found a few gray-black hairs at the entrance of the cave.
"This is a rabbit hole!" Zhou Ziwen said.
"Will there be rabbits in here?" Chen Shiying asked curiously.
"There should be. I'll look around to see if there are any other entrances. If not, we can catch him." Zhou Ziwen nodded.
On the other side, Zhou Chaoyang had already sealed the cave entrance and came over after hearing their conversation.
"Chaoyang, you came at the right time. You and Tayun go look around to see if there are any other cave entrances. I'll guard here." Zhou Ziwen said.
He was not very confident about Zhou Chaoyang. If something really escaped, he would definitely not be able to guard it.
Just in case, Zhou Ziwen decided to guard it himself.
"Okay." Zhou Chaoyang nodded hurriedly. He was full of energy at the moment and really wanted to show off.
Zhou Chaoyang took Tayun to search the area again, but they didn't find the entrance to the cave.
"Get some dry grass, and get that wild grass over there too." Seeing that he hadn't found anything, Zhou Ziwen didn't delay any longer and directly asked Zhou Chaoyang and the others to find some dry grass to smoke out the rabbit inside. (End of this chapter)
