The next day, Song Yuehua got up very early.
It was still daylight.
Song Yuehua cooked 10 eggs and a full pot of rice.
After a while, Xiaoyu woke up too.
After the two of them finished washing up, the water began to boil.
Add two spoons of brown sugar to boiling water, stir well and pour into a bowl, then put two peeled eggs in it.
The brown sugar soup base paired with the white and tender eggs immediately whets your appetite.
Xiaoyu took a sip of the brown sugar water, and her eyes curved with sweetness the moment it entered her mouth, "Sister, this is delicious, so sweet and fragrant..."
Song Yuehua didn't feel anything about the bowl of egg and brown sugar water, but was touched by Xiaoyu's sweet look. She smiled and said, "If you like it, I'll cook it for you next time."
After breakfast, Song Yuehua wrapped up the remaining six eggs. After the rice cooled down, she grabbed a handful of rice with her salt-soaked hands and kneaded it into a ball.
After making a total of 9 rice balls, leave 2 for Xiaoyu.
Seven rice balls and six eggs are enough for three days. Then fill the kettle with water, take a bow and arrow, a hemp rope and a cloth net, put the basket on your back and set off.
Before leaving, he told Xiaoyu again, "You will be staying at Granny Wang's house for the next few days. Remember to bolt the door at night and keep the copper coins close to you until I come back."
It was agreed that they would stay for three days. Song Yuehua mainly wanted to familiarize herself with the environment. If she wanted to gain some small gains, she would definitely have to go home early.
These little kids at home really make me feel uneasy.
The road just after entering the mountain is relatively flat, and there are no wild animals in the outer circle. On weekdays, villagers will come here to pick some mountain products or cut some grass for pigs because it is safe here.
The further you go inside, the narrower the road becomes, with weeds growing everywhere and no signs of human life. You can hear tiny rustling sounds at any time, and there are obviously more snakes and insects.
Song Yuehua found a thick and long stick and used it to explore the way ahead.
When the road was completely out of sight, Song Yuehua stopped, found a higher ground, climbed up, and observed the surrounding environment.
There are two hidden paths among them, which should have been trampled by animals.
I searched along both paths and found a rabbit hole. There were a lot of weeds growing at the entrance, and it looked like it was abandoned.
I reached into the hole and found some rabbit hair.
Although the rabbit was not found, Song Yuehua discovered a lot of wood ears nearby.
I picked half a basket of wood ears and felt a little comforted.
After resting for a while, they walked around again and found several animal trails and footprints in the soft mud.
Judging from the shape and depth, it's probably a wild boar weighing more than 300 pounds.
This is too exciting.
Since we met, it was fate.
Song Yuehua made a loop with a hemp rope, found a big tree beside the road, threw the other end through the branches, tied a cloth net to the end, and then carried stones to the cloth net one trip at a time, estimating the weight in her mind.
The total weight must be over 300 kilograms, within the weight that the net can bear.
It was almost evening when the trap was set, so we had to find a place to spend the night. We couldn't be too close to the trap tree, but there was no need to be too far away either.
Before it got completely dark, Song Yuehua found a tall and strong tree, which made her feel safe.
The fork in the tree was a good place to spend the night. It might be too narrow for an adult, but it was just right for her.
To be safe, Song Yuehua took out a strip of cloth and tied herself to the tree.
After nightfall, the mountain wind occasionally dies down, making the howling of wolves and barking of dogs in the distance seem clearer.
Judging from the sound, it’s a bit far away, what a pity!
Song Yuehua leaned against a tree with a large bow in her arms and an arrow in her hand. She had been alert to the situation on the ground for the first half of the night. This area seemed quite safe, with only a few small animals running by occasionally.
When I woke up and opened my eyes, it was still dark.
It was not until dawn that Song Yuehua climbed down from the tree. She ran to the trap and took a look, but found nothing.
As expected, I was not disappointed. I turned around and looked in the direction where the little animal ran last night.
Sure enough, I found several rabbit holes.
Since we were not sure whether it was just one household or several, we just left one hole and blocked the rest, and then used smoke to fumigate.
Although it is inefficient, it does work.
It took most of the day and we caught a total of six tiny baby rabbits.
Although the harvest was little, at least there was no air force.
Three white rabbits, two yellow rabbits and one black rabbit were huddled together, all furry. Each one of them opened their timid black eyes and looked at Song Yuehua pitifully.
well……
Song Yuehua said helplessly, "Whether it's your father or your mother, at least let me catch one. If I really bring you little balls of yarn home, even if I stew them all, they won't be enough for me to eat."
There was no other way. No matter how small the rabbits were, they were still meat. Song Yuehua tore a piece of cloth, tied up the paws of the six little rabbits, put a thick layer of wild vegetables on the fungus, and then tied the six fur balls in the backpack.
Just as Song Yuehua was about to find a few more rabbit holes, a ball of red flashed past her eyes.
"fox!"
Song Yuehua subconsciously grabbed the bow and arrow and chased after him.
I have eaten well these days and my physical strength has recovered a lot. My explosive power is strong enough that I can barely keep up after running for a while.
The red fox was heading towards the deep mountains. Song Yuehua didn't know how long she had been running, but she just felt her head buzzing and her legs instinctively ran towards the red ball.
After a long time, it finally stopped and she stopped too.
Hiding behind a tree trunk, his legs were shaking like sieve flour, and he didn't dare to breathe heavily, for fear that the red fox would find him and make him run away at full speed.
If she runs again, she will never be able to catch up even if she dies.
After calming down, Song Yuehua estimated that the distance between her and the red fox was just within range. However, if something unexpected happened and the red fox reacted, even if it ran half a meter away, with her current strength, she was afraid that they would never see each other again in this life.
After a moment.
Song Yuehua climbed up the tree stealthily, and just as she steadied herself, the red fox became alert for some reason and ran away.
Song Yuehua stepped on the bow with both feet, nocked the arrow, and pulled the string with both hands. The entire bow was fully drawn. The moment the arrow left the string, Song Yuehua knew that she had hit the target, but she lost her balance and fell from the tree.
Fortunately, the position I chose was not too high, and my butt was just a little numb from the fall.
"Dad, I caught the red fox!"
Suddenly a voice sounded nearby and Song Yuehua's face changed. Was she going to be taken advantage of?
There were two adult men and a fat boy about ten years old. The boy was holding the red fox that she had just shot.
Not to mention the younger one, the two older ones are obviously veteran hunters, and one of them is a martial artist.
Although he was as strong as an ox, he had no idea of his chances of winning against these two men.
But she was unwilling to give up the prey.
After hesitating for a moment, Song Yuehua gritted her teeth and decided to fight! She had to have at least one share of the fox she killed.
If the other party really has bad intentions and is using his power to bully you, it will not be too late to run away then.
With the determination to sacrifice herself, Song Yuehua hung the bow on her back, walked out from behind the tree, and spoke to the three people in a harsh tone.
"The Red Fox is mine!"
