Chapter 293: Big Harvest - The Sickly Young Girl's Daily Life of Eating Watermelons in the Courtyard

Unfortunately, none of the three had any experience in catching pheasants. Although the circle was getting smaller and smaller, they were still pheasants!

At a glance from Aunt Li, Mother Lin and Aunt Sui rushed over together.

Seeing victory in sight, the three of them grinned from ear to ear.

"Cluck, cluck, cluck!" The pheasant finally realized the danger, screamed, and flapped its wings and flew into the sky.

Bang!

This time, the three of them missed the target.

"Puh! Puh! Puh!" The three men fell to the ground, their mouths full of dust.

They hurried back and forth, chasing the pheasant, but unfortunately the pheasant was too powerful. It fluttered a few times and then flew away into the air, making it impossible to catch up.

Mother Lin was less physically fit, so when Aunt Li and Aunt Sui were chasing the pheasants, she thought for a moment and felt that she might not be able to catch up, so she simply pushed her bicycle and chased after them.

After a while, Lin's mother finally caught up with the two people in front who were chasing the pheasant.

"How's it going? How's it going? Did you catch up?"

Aunt Li and Aunt Sui panted with exhaustion and shook their heads at the same time.

The light in Lin's mother's eyes dimmed again. "It's okay, it's okay. This is our first time and we have no experience. Besides, the pheasant was flying so high, it's normal for it to run away."

Aunt Li and Aunt Sui thought about it and it seemed to be true. The pheasant just fluttered a few times and flew very high.

"Why don't we go see if there are any hares? I heard that as long as we find the rabbit hole and block the other holes, and then burn some smoke at the entrance of one of the holes, the rabbit will run out from the other unblocked hole!" Lin's mother had heard about this from relatives in the countryside before, so she told them this story, hoping to encourage the two people who were a little discouraged because they had just failed to chase pheasants.

"Yeah." Aunt Li and Aunt Sui quickly regained their morale.

Yes, pheasants are hard to catch, so we catch rabbits.

"Hey, where are we now?" Aunt Li came to her senses and suddenly realized that they had been chasing the pheasants without paying attention to the road.

Lin's mother also followed behind them, pushing the bicycle and walking a little slowly. Although the mountain road was a bit steep, the bicycle was still able to move forward.

She walked slowly enough to still remember the approximate direction, "We came from that way, and when we want to go back later, we can just go that way." Lin's mother was referring to the straight line distance. Just now when they were chasing the pheasant, they were running around in all directions. Thanks to Lin's mother for remembering the general direction, otherwise they would have been lost in the mountain.

"Oh! Where should we go next?" Aunt Sui was a little confused, but she understood that they were not lost yet.

Aunt Li looked around and said, "Why don't we go up the slope? There don't seem to be many trees here, and there's a lot of grass. Isn't it said that rabbits like to eat grass? Maybe there will be rabbits over there!"

Lin's mother and Sui's mother's eyes lit up. Yes! Maybe!

The three of them walked in the direction that Aunt Li said. There was indeed a lot of grass there, and it was not very high, only about twenty centimeters. They picked up a stick before walking over.

It's already autumn and the weather is still quite hot here. We can't tell whether there will be snakes here, so we have to prepare the sticks.

They had to say they were lucky. Maybe not many people had been here before, and there were a lot of animals here. Not long after they walked up the slope, they saw a fat hare.

"Wild rabbit!" Lin's mother said excitedly.

Aunt Li and Aunt Sui also looked in the direction she said, their eyes were filled with excitement.

"Hurry, hurry, let's go over there quickly." The three of them rushed over quickly.

The rabbit may have noticed the invasion of other unknown species and disappeared after a while.

This of course made me even happier. What does this mean? This means there really is a rabbit hole nearby!

Aunt Li said, "Let's look quickly and find all the rabbit holes around here."

"Okay, okay!" Mother Lin and Aunt Sui agreed immediately after hearing this!

The three of them put their bicycles aside and started to act separately.

"Let's block the rabbit hole with the surrounding weeds!"

"good!"

When they found a rabbit hole, they pulled up all the grass around the rabbit hole. After pulling it off, they rolled it into a small ball to block the rabbit hole.

Half an hour later.

"How is it? Are there any more?" Aunt Li wiped the sweat from her forehead. She had a hunch that there might be too many rabbits in this area. They had searched a large area for these rabbit holes, and it took them so long just to block the holes.

"I don't have it here." Lin's mother searched very carefully, basically exploring it inch by inch.

"I don't have any here either." Aunt Sui was almost the same.

The three of them were instantly excited. "Let's get started! Who will light the fire at the entrance of the cave?"

Lin's mother looked at the two of them and said, "Let me do it! You can't refuse to admit your age now!" She volunteered.

Her physical strength was indeed not as good as these two men who were ten years younger than her.

"Okay!" Aunt Li and Aunt Sui also nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, Lin's mother made preparations at the entrance of the cave, while Aunt Li and Aunt Sui were at the other entrance, the only one they had not blocked, holding sacks and waiting for the rabbit to fall into the trap.

Yes, although they didn't know how much the harvest would be, they had the foresight to bring a large sack.

After Aunt Li and Aunt Sui had made their preparations, Mother Lin rolled up the dead leaves that she had collected when blocking the cave entrance just now, placed them at the entrance of the cave and set them on fire.

Afraid that the smoke was not enough, she kept adding dead leaves to the entrance of the hole.

There was no movement at the cave entrance, and Aunt Li and Aunt Sui were getting a little anxious.

"Why haven't you come out yet? Is there another hole that we haven't blocked?"

Aunt Li thought for a while and said, "That shouldn't be the case. Which entrance of this cave can escape our sharp eyes?" The three of them explored it inch by inch, so how could they have missed it?

"Then let's wait a little longer, maybe the smoke hasn't gone down yet!"

"Hmm!" But that's all I can think of.

The two men were suspicious, but they tightened their hands on the sack.

A while later.

"Here it comes." Aunt Li and Aunt Sui suddenly felt something rushing into the sack.

A light suddenly flashed in Aunt Li and Aunt Sui's eyes.

Their hands pressing on the sacks became more and more steady, one after another.

Their estimate was correct. Considering the number of rabbit holes they had just blocked, there must be a lot of rabbits in this area.

The rabbit in the bag struggled even harder. The two men were veterans at this job and had great strength, but they still had to pull hard to prevent the rabbit from escaping.

After a long time, they felt that no more rabbits rushed out. After they looked at each other, they both tightened the belt with their hands and clasped them together.

"Are you done?" Lin's mother shouted not far away.

"It's enough, it's enough, put out the fire quickly!" said Aunt Li.

Seeing Aunt Li grinning from ear to ear, Mother Lin knew that they would definitely have a great harvest this time.

She grabbed some soil and quickly put out the fire. She then stepped on it to make sure it was out before running over.
