However, Ye Zhiqiu followed his mother's hand and saw the hole over there. He smiled and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, it's a rat hole! The noise of you mowing the grass here probably scared the rats that came out to forage. This thing is more frightening than you, so you can cut grass for the pigs without worry."
Hearing that it was the Rat King, Xiaolan was no longer afraid. Country people are not afraid of this thing. She stared at the mouse hole, pushed Ye Zhiqiu and said, "Son, can you catch it? The smoked field mouse you made is delicious..."
Ye Zhiqiu was speechless. Who knew how deep the hole in this thing was? Using the space to collect it could be a try, but he would have to get his mother away.
So he quickly changed the subject and said, "Mom, are you cutting grass for the cows or the pigs today? You have to get busy quickly, otherwise if you don't cut enough grass, you won't get any work points!"
Hearing this, Wang Xiaolan exclaimed and quickly picked up the axe for cutting grass.
She said to Ye Zhiqiu anxiously: "Son, I am cutting grass for pigs today. I won't talk to you for now. I have to go find grass for pigs quickly..."
Seeing Wang Xiaolan leaving in a hurry, Ye Zhiqiu shrugged. This pig grass is quite troublesome because pigs don't eat all kinds of grass.
After the others had gone far away, Ye Zhiqiu walked to the vicinity of the mouse hole. He looked at the hole entrance and had the idea of taking this land into space.
The next second, a cave three meters wide and ten meters deep appeared before their eyes. Within the mud and rocks within, seven small field mice and two large field mice were trapped in a bubble, calling out in panic.
Ye Zhiqiu put the nine voles aside and put the dirt and rocks back into the cave. In the blink of an eye, the cave was filled up again, but the mouse hole was gone.
Ye Zhiqiu's face lit up with joy. This was also the first time he had used space in this way. This way, as long as he found a mouse hole or a burrow of other animals, he could use space in this way to catch them!
Then he put his thoughts into the space again, and released the seven little field mice directly. Of course, he killed the two big ones and took them home to smoke and fry them.
Ye Zhiqiu then began to wander around the mountain. Rats are very fertile, and there really is no shortage of them on the mountain. He caught quite a few, but he only killed ten, and put the remaining dozens into the space.
Not only that, he also got two nests of wild rabbits, two rat snakes, and a poisonous pit viper. These things can be sold for money, so he let them be stored in the bubble of space.
The pangolin family has already started digging a new home. Ye Zhiqiu doesn't want to eat this thing, so he'll see about selling it someday. The country is using this thing as medicine now, and there's no such thing as protecting it. The purchase price for one is over 20 yuan!
Ye Zhiqiu continued to search various caves, cutting any pig grass he came across. He would then hand it over to his mother so she wouldn't have to work hard all day and still not cut enough for her weight.
There is not much pig grass in the space, but there are plenty of sweet potato vines, but this thing can't be released!
He worked until eleven o'clock, and the harvest was quite good. Ye Zhiqiu tied ten large rats with vines, each weighing about half a pound. But after smoking and drying them, they would probably be just over a pound, enough for a meal tonight.
As for the backpack, half of it was filled with rabbit grass and the other half with pig grass. He started down the mountain carrying it on his back. The mountains here were still too barren, but the mountains in other parts of the capital were even more barren!
There was no hunting in the capital; this was an indisputable fact. Even in Kaoshantun, the most remote area of the capital, there were no large game animals in the mountains, so how could there be any hunting?
Ye Zhiqiu returned to the foot of the mountain, put down his backpack, rolled a cigarette, and waited while smoking.
After smoking a cigarette and waiting for a while, I saw Wang Xiaolan carrying two large sacks of pig feed and another Aunt He coming down the mountain together.
When they returned, Ye Zhiqiu said with a smile, "Aunt He, can you feed all the pigs with all the grass you've cut? You've also included Uncle Wang's rations, right?"
Aunt He scolded with a smile, "Go away, get out of here! You bastard, your uncle Wang is just a little fatter, is there any need to call him a pig all day long?"
"That can't be right. I just heard Aunt Zhao say that Uncle Wang got so fat because he was stealing pig food. Don't I have to ask you for confirmation?"
Wang Xiaolan put down her carrying pole and said with a smile, "Sister He, don't bother with this kid. He just talks nonsense all day long!"
Ye Zhiqiu smiled and didn't get angry. He helped to untie the bag, put the pig grass he had cut into it, and then put the hatchet and the mouse into the backpack. Then he picked it up and took turns carrying it back with his mother.
Feeling the weight of the carrying pole, Ye Zhiqiu asked curiously, "Mom, you have quite a lot of pig grass! How much do you think you'll need today?"
Wang Xiaolan, who was carrying a backpack, said angrily, "Even with you, I'm still about 20 kilograms short. I can relax a lot in the afternoon. That damned widow Wang, they've eaten up all the pig grass nearby, leaving nothing behind. We have to run a long way to find it."
Ye Zhiqiu understood. No wonder Li Guangcai and Widow Wang still had time to fight. It turned out that they didn't want to leave any time for the fight and just pulled up the pig grass with its roots!
A lot of the grass used to feed the pigs grows back after being cut. Leave some to continue growing so that you can cut it again after a month or so.
Thinking of all the mice, Wang Xiaolan quickly asked, "Son, how did you catch all those mice? Others can't catch as many mice in their traps as you do!"
Ye Zhiqiu thought about it and said nonchalantly, "That's someone else. Your son is so smart, how can he compare to them? Think about it, if someone else met Director Chen, would they be able to get a job?"
If it weren't for Li Guangcai who reported Ye Zhiqiu, even the Ye family wouldn't know about it.
At that time, Ye Tianya was still persuading Ye Zhiqiu to go to work in the quarry!
Speaking of this, Wang Xiaolan threw the mouse aside and said proudly: "My eldest son is very smart. Who in the village can be as smart as you! Unless he can give me 195 yuan a year, otherwise, you must be the smartest person in Kaoshan Village..."
Listening to Wang Xiaolan's words, Ye Zhiqiu sometimes felt that his mother was a little silly. She was always thinking about her salary that she hadn't even started working yet!
When they returned to the village entrance, Ye Zhiqiu switched back with Wang Xiaolan, and he went back home carrying the basket.
When he returned home, Ye Wubing did not go out for the first time, but instead accompanied Ye Bailu to play origami.
Originally, Ye Wubing should have been in school; he would have been in sixth grade this year. But now that the commune had been built, the school had to be rebuilt, so the children of Kaoshan Village were now confined to their homes. They could only continue attending boarding school after the school's boarding house was completed.
It takes two hours to walk from Kaoshantun to the commune, which makes it impossible to go to and from school every day.
"Hey! Second brother, have you changed your ways today? You didn't even run out to play? Little sister, tell me, did your second brother run out?"
