However, since everything is still uncertain, there's no need to tell Ning Jing about these concerns.
Besides, even though he had a bullet in his head, Fu Hongxing was still very confident in his skills.
After all, when we went out on missions, we were in the middle of nowhere, doing all sorts of things.
It's just catching a few live rabbits; he can definitely do it.
Seeing Fu Hongxing's confident demeanor, Ning Jing didn't ask any further questions.
Sure enough, on the day Fu Hongxing took a break, he went up the mountain with a burlap sack in his hand.
The mountains around Xishan Village aren't very high, so there are basically no large wild animals there.
The fact that there is basically none does not mean there is absolutely nothing.
Therefore, before going up the mountain, Fu Hongxing still brought a machete and tucked it behind his back for self-defense.
If you don't encounter any large wild animals, it's good to just chop some firewood and take it back.
Luckily it wasn't Saturday or Sunday, otherwise Tiedan would definitely have gone up the mountain with his older brother.
For boys, this kind of thing seems to be their nature.
After Fu Hongxing went up the mountain, he could clearly feel that the area around the edge of the forest, which should have been covered with fallen leaves and rotten soil, had long been dug up cleanly.
Walking in for about ten meters, the trees became sparse.
Because there are no wild beasts on the mountain, naturally more people come to cut firewood.
They cut down trees little by little into the forest. The trees that were originally at the foot of the mountain have now reached halfway up the mountain.
Just a few steps away, you can see the tree roots behind the cut-down tree.
In the past, many people were even afraid to go into the forest to cut down trees. Instead, they would bring hoes and dig out the tree roots to take back with them.
Although it can't be split open for cooking, in winter, such a large tree root can be burned in a fire pit for at least one night.
After entering, Fu Hongxing sized up the location, squinted, and then walked towards the area where the thatch was more lush.
Those places that have already been trodden out, with people coming and going, would never be places where rabbits are so timid.
The lush vegetation is where these small animals most easily hide.
Fu Hongxing took the wood-chopping knife from his back and casually chopped at the lush thatch grass, which quickly felled a large patch.
This kind of thatch is most convenient for starting fires.
Of course, bamboo tips and those dry, thin bamboo shoots are both acceptable.
However, these things are usually collected by the children in the family.
Most adults are unwilling to do this job.
Fu Hongxing didn't care. If he couldn't find the rabbit burrow today, he was prepared to bring a bundle of firewood down the mountain.
It rained a few days ago, so the thatch looks very thick.
Fu Hongxing cleaved his way through, and soon a small path appeared.
As he swung his woodcutter's knife forward, reaching another patch of thatch, and chopped at the grass with it, a pheasant suddenly flew up from the thatch in fright.
The instant the pheasant took flight, Fu Hongxing hurled his wood-chopping knife at it.
The pheasant only let out a quick "cluck-cluck" before its head was chopped off by a flying woodcutter's axe.
Its head separated from its body and fell to the ground with a thud.
Fu Hongxing didn't rush to pick up the pheasant that had been decapitated; instead, he walked towards the place where it had flown away.
Parting the thatch, we found a nest of six or seven eggs lying in the pheasant's burrow.
I came here intending to catch wild rabbits, but I didn't expect to not only catch a pheasant, but also find a nest of wild eggs. I was really lucky.
