Chapter 9: The Concealment
The sun shines through the treetops, casting dappled beams of light onto the grass.
Gao Mingcheng sat cross-legged with his eyes closed and his hands facing the sky.
Gao Zhuang sat down on the grass beside him, holding a piece of grass in his mouth and looking up at the sky with a bored look on his face.
An hour ago, after hurriedly finishing his porridge, he ran to Niuweiling. After searching for a while, he finally found his brother Mingcheng.
But the problem is that Brother Ming Cheng seems to be playing a new game and is sitting cross-legged without moving!
He shouted, clapped his hands, and even deliberately told a few jokes, but he knew that Brother Cheng was so calm that he didn't move at all.
There was no other choice but to wait by the side.
Waiting to see when Brother Mingcheng will open his eyes.
snort!
After an unknown amount of time, Gao Mingcheng finally woke up from his trance.
He opened his eyes, and the sunlight happened to shine into his eyes, making them bright.
Only after the light faded away did the mountains come into view.
"Brother Mingcheng, what are you doing? Practicing or sleeping? You didn't respond when I called you." Gao Zhuang saw Gao Mingcheng wake up and hurriedly went over curiously.
Gao Mingcheng only felt that he was in the clouds and mist, and consciousness had not yet fully returned.
A tall and strong face suddenly appeared in front of him, and he was startled instinctively.
"You..." Gao Mingcheng started to speak, but swallowed his words back before he finished. He looked around and finally realized that there was something wrong with his posture.
Sit cross-legged with your five hearts facing the sky.
A picture suddenly appeared in his mind. The person in the picture was outlined by gold lines and had a hint of golden light.
Gao Mingcheng had a guess in his mind, but his first thought was to go find the gold foil.
He looked down and saw nothing on the ground. His heart suddenly tightened and he subconsciously touched his trouser pocket.
His trouser pockets were very big to hold things, and the two pieces of gold foil fit neatly in his trouser pockets.
Gao Mingcheng's heart finally settled down when his fingers touched the unique texture of the gold foil paper.
He didn't know what exactly happened, but it didn't seem to do him any harm, because at this moment he felt in great shape and was full of energy, so he could run ten laps around the mountain!
"I didn't sleep well last night. I just took a nap." Gao Mingcheng made up an excuse casually. He hadn't figured out the secret of the gold foil paper yet, so he naturally wouldn't tell Gao Zhuang rashly.
Even if it turns out that the thing on the gold foil is beneficial to people, he will not take it out directly.
Some secrets are only secrets if you keep them.
If you don't keep it, it may become a disaster.
"You slept so soundly that you didn't wake up even when I called you! Brother Mingcheng, why don't you come to my house to sleep at night? It must be very hot for three of you brothers to squeeze in one bed." Gao Zhuang was a simple-minded person and he believed whatever Gao Mingcheng said.
Gao Zhuang's family has fewer people, but they have more and better rooms than Gao Mingcheng's family.
This is because Gao Zhuang's father is a carpenter. In addition to the food from the fields, he also has a salary as a carpenter. In addition, Gao Zhuang is the only son, so he has little pressure in life and naturally has extra money to repair the house.
Two years ago, Gao Zhuang's father accidentally fell down while putting up a beam for someone else. His head happened to hit a rock on the ground and he died on the spot.
For this, the landlord gave Gao Zhuang's family a large sum of compensation, so Gao Zhuang's family was actually not poor and lived a better life than Gao Mingcheng.
"My dad has saved enough money and plans to buy the old house of the Gao family. Probably in a while, my older brother and his wife will move in there." Speaking of this, Gao Mingcheng also remembered that in his previous life, after he and Xuanyuemei got married, they also lived in that house. At that time, there were four rooms in the house, but because his older brother and his wife got married first and moved in first, they occupied three rooms.
Later, Xuanyuemei had a quarrel with her sister-in-law and finally gave up half of the room. Although she said she would give up half of the room, her sister-in-law filled that half with firewood, making the house dirty and messy, which made Xuanyuemei angry for a long time.
At that time, he was fully focused on his business outside and had no intention of staying at home for long. When the time was right, he took the money and ran away.
When he came back, his son was almost one year old.
Thinking of this, Gao Mingcheng looked a little dazed.
He didn't know what Xuanmei had experienced in her previous life, but afterwards the old people in the village told him that Xuanmei had lived a very hard life.
Her parents-in-law don't like her, her sister-in-law oppresses her, the children are left unattended, and she is still the only one left to work in the fields.
He thought that after he made money, he could give a lot of money to his family, and his family would naturally take care of Xuanyue and his children. But in fact, Xuanyue couldn't even eat a vegetable at his parents' house.
Why?
He doesn't understand.
Gao Mingcheng blinked. After his rebirth, every time he saw his parents, his older brother and his wife, he wanted to ask why.
But he held back.
It hadn't happened yet, and he would never let it happen again in his life.
He will take care of his wife!
Gao Zhuang looked at Gao Mingcheng who was in a daze again and sighed in his heart.
Oh, it seems that Brother Mingcheng really didn’t sleep well and he was in a daze again!
After Gao Mingcheng came to his senses, he immediately shook off those emotions. He picked up the bag thrown on the ground and took out some things from it.
"Come here, Zhuangzhuang, I'll teach you how to make a trap. This trap is used to trap rabbits. You can also trap pheasants if you want, but it's a little difficult. Pheasants need to be covered with a net. It's best to wait until winter when it snows. You can always catch them."
"Watch me do it. It's very simple."
While Gao Mingcheng was talking, he already had a thin wire in his hand. He made a slipknot at one end of the wire and passed the other end through the slipknot to form a circle, and made sure that it could be pulled back and forth easily.
"Look, it's done! It's simple, right?" Gao Mingcheng took the finished condom and led Gao Zhuang to find the place where the hare would pass by.
Wild rabbits are vegetarians and like to eat fresh green grass, so you should find a place with lush green grass and observe carefully whether there is any rabbit feces on the grass. If the feces is shiny and fresh, it means there are rabbits active in this area.
Gao Mingcheng was very familiar with the area and quickly found a suitable place.
He fixed the end of the sleeve in a place where rabbits could pass easily and frequently, and then adjusted the loop to make it just big enough to accommodate a rabbit's head.
In this way, when the rabbit passes by, its head can pass smoothly, but its neck or body will be stuck in the wire ring, and the harder it struggles to break free, the tighter it will get stuck.
At this time, the hunter hiding nearby can come and harvest his prey.
Setting traps is a job that depends on chance, so in order to ensure a good harvest, it is best to set more traps and then carefully observe the traces of hares' activities.
Gao Mingcheng wanted to make a hundred or so covers, but due to limited steel wire, he only made three covers in the end.
The two covers at the back were both made by Gao Zhuang, one under the guidance of Gao Mingcheng, and the other one he made independently.
Gao Zhuang seemed very excited. He looked at the condoms that had been placed on the shelf and said nervously, "Brother Mingcheng, are these condoms really useful?"
Gao Mingcheng patted Gao Zhuang on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Of course, don't underestimate it. If no one teaches you, you won't know how to do it! Okay, don't get so close, stay away. I also set up a few traps in other places. After one night, I will go and check the situation."
After explaining things to Gao Zhuang, Gao Mingcheng left and went to the place where he had set the trap yesterday.
