After sitting and resting by the stream for about half an hour, the two men got up, extinguished the fire, and continued to go deeper into the mountains to search for prey.
It was already past nine in the morning, the sun was high in the sky, and the male pheasants would no longer make their suicidal calls.
Fortunately, there are really a lot of wild rabbits in this early spring season.
Chen Wang and his companions didn't even need to take any action, as the dogs helped catch three hares, two of which were still alive and kicking.
Ruyi even led them to find a wild rabbit nest, which contained a litter of baby rabbits that were only a few days old.
After Chen Wang caught a nest of little rabbits, he counted them one by one like he was calling on his soldiers.
"One, two... eight, wow!"
I have to say, this rabbit has a really strong reproductive ability.
Not to mention that there are at least seven or eight rabbits in a litter, northern wild rabbits reproduce 3 to 4 litters a year, and those in the south are even more exaggerated, with 6 to 8 litters every year.
This is also the reason why, although other prey in the mountains are becoming increasingly scarce, hares are running all over the mountains and can never be caught.
"Brother Dazhuang, how about we take these back and raise them?"
Chen Wang looked at the little rabbits on the ground and made a suggestion.
There is barely any meat on such a small rabbit, so it's not cost-effective to process it.
And each of them looks like a little bun, which is really cute.
No wonder there is a nursery rhyme that says little rabbits are so cute, but the older they get, the less attractive they become, and in the end, they only make people hungry.
"I don't know how to raise one. It would be so troublesome to feed it all day long."
Chen Dazhuang shook his head.
"Give them to Xiaoyu. She should like them and look forward to them growing up quickly so that she can stew them and eat them."
As Chen Wang was talking, he imagined the scene of the little girl drooling while feeding grass to the little rabbit, and he couldn't help laughing.
"Hahaha……"
Chen Dazhuang couldn't help laughing and nodded, "Then take it back and put it in the bag. It won't survive by the afternoon, right?"
"Put it back in this nest first. When you go back this way in the afternoon, take it with you."
“This is fine.”
After discussing it, the two of them stuffed the little rabbits back into the nest.
As expected, their mother was the rabbit they had just killed, and it was impossible for the little rabbits to escape from the nest on their own.
"Let's go, don't bother them anymore."
Seeing that Ruyi still wanted to dig out the rabbit nest, Chen Wang gently kicked it over with the instep of his foot.
The puppy got up, whimpered in grievance, and followed reluctantly.
…
…
At one o'clock in the afternoon, the two found a clean place to sit down and have lunch.
There were two aluminum lunch boxes. One contained cold-mixed Artemisia annua, and the other contained stir-fried wild boar meat with cabbage. There were also big steamed buns that Lin Xiuqin had steamed early in the morning.
Chen Wang tasted the white wormwood and found it tasted very similar to Chinese chrysanthemum. His wife added oil, vinegar and chili oil to make it sour and spicy. It tasted very refreshing and had a unique aroma.
"It's delicious. My sister-in-law is a good cook."
Chen Dazhuang's mouth was full of food and his words were unclear.
"When the house is built, you should find a wife as soon as possible. You can't eat what my wife cooks every day, right?"
Chen Wang said unhappily.
"Hehe...don't be so stingy, what's our relationship?"
Chen Dazhuang approached with a playful smile, broke a big steamed bun, stuffed a large piece of stir-fried cabbage and wild boar meat into it, and then pinched it tightly and took half of it in one bite.
"Let me tell you, my wife is still pregnant. When her belly gets bigger, I won't let her get up early to do anything."
"It's okay, it's okay. Then we can just prepare something to eat in the mountains, like we did just now, roasting a pheasant or something."
"Please, can't you find someone quickly so that I can have a taste of it?"
"Yes, yes."
"Don't be perfunctory here. If you don't have it, just watch me eat."
Chen Wang pretended to be serious.
"Ah? Please don't! Can you bear it?"
"Yes, I am becoming more and more hard-hearted now."
“…”
Chen Dazhuang was speechless for a moment.
After eating and drinking, the two continued to look for prey.
I only caught some pheasants and rabbits today, and haven't gotten any valuable goods.
Ever since Ruyi dug out the rabbit's nest, she seems to have become obsessed with finding the nest of her prey.
Whenever it sees a hole, it goes up to it and sniffs it.
The King of Hell also followed it.
“Woof, woof!”
Suddenly, Ruyi's voice was heard.
The two looked in the direction of the sound and saw Ruyi and Yanwang standing next to a small mound not far ahead, as if they had discovered something.
Chen Wang and Chen Dazhuang hurried over and saw that there was indeed a hole about the size of a bowl between the two dogs.
"What kind of hole is this? Looking at Ruyi like this, it seems like she really smelled something."
"Maybe a badger or something."
"How?"
Chen Wang looked at Chen Dazhuang and asked.
After all, he had only been hunting for less than half a year, and his experience was far less than that of Chen Dazhuang.
"There's no water here, so let's try fumigating. This kind of cave usually has two exits. Let's first look for another cave entrance nearby. It shouldn't be far away."
After thinking for a moment, Chen Dazhuang gave his suggestion.
Chen Wang nodded in agreement.
So the two of them started looking around.
Sure enough, they soon found a similar cave entrance covered by dead leaves. It was quite hidden. If it weren't for Chen Wang's good eyesight, it would have been difficult to find.
