60s: I have a store

Chapter 360

Zhou Yimin and his group walked toward the mountain again. At this time, they saw a cute and silly wild rabbit appear in front of everyone.

However, after discovering someone, the hare fled directly.

Just when everyone was about to go forward to chase, they were stopped by Zhou Yimin.

"The hare runs so fast, how can we chase it? We should wait and see, wait for a while, and then follow the footprints to see if we can catch the hare in one fell swoop."

You know, hares are very good at running, and their speed can reach 70 to 80 kilometers per hour, which is impossible for humans to catch up with.

It may be because hares are at the bottom of the food chain and have many natural enemies. In order to survive, in addition to having keen hearing, they also have super high speed, which allows them to escape from danger in the shortest time.

Everyone thought Zhou Yimin’s suggestion was very good, so they stopped and did not rush to catch up.

The crowd did not waste the waiting time and began to search nearby to see if there were any other footprints, even if they were not those of a hare.

It is very dangerous to go into the mountains now, so everyone carries a gun. Even if you encounter large wild animals, there is no need to be afraid. After all, so many guns are not vegetarians.

If there are extra gains, no one will mind, but will be very happy.

After more than ten minutes of searching, there was no other gain except the footprints of the hare.

Zhou Yimin also felt that the time was about right. If he didn't start tracking the footprints, they would be covered by the snow and he would not be able to find them even if he tried.

"Let's follow the footprints and see for ourselves!"

After hearing Zhou Yimin's words, the others started to follow the footprints.

Everyone was very quiet, for fear of making any noise that would scare the hare away, which would then make it even more difficult to catch it.

After searching for a few minutes, I finally saw the end of the footprints. It was in an extremely hidden cave. If I didn't pay special attention, I would never find it.

Zhou Darong was a little excited and accidentally stepped on a branch, making a noise.

Everyone immediately turned around and looked at Zhou Darong.

Zhou Dayong did not expect that he would make such a low-level mistake. He could only put his hands together and kept "bowing" to express his apology.

Everyone also knew that Zhou Darong did not do it on purpose, and they could only ask that this kind of thing not happen a second time.

At this time, Zhou Daming and the others turned around and looked at the rabbit nest in front of them. They did not see any wild rabbit rushing out, so they probably did not get scared.

I finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately I didn't alert the enemy, otherwise all my work would have been in vain.

Everyone is now more cautious, fearing that any noise might scare the hare away.

Just like that, I tiptoed slowly towards the rabbit's nest.

The journey that was supposed to take less than a minute took nearly ten minutes. But the effort paid off. Zhou Daming was almost at the entrance of the cave, but he still didn't see the hare inside.

Zhou Daming suddenly attacked, rushed to the entrance of the cave and reached his hand directly into it.

When Zhou Yimin saw this scene, he couldn't help but be shocked. If there was a rabbit inside, it would be fine. But what if it was another animal, such as a snake?

You have to know that the current medical conditions are very backward, and even the number of snakes is very scarce. If you are bitten by a poisonous snake, you can only leave it to fate, or see if folk remedies work. If not, you can only say that you are unlucky.

After a while, Zhou Daming caught a rabbit from the nest. Zhou Darong and his friends immediately took the rabbit from Zhou Daming and put it into the sack. In less than five minutes, Zhou Daming caught twelve rabbits from the rabbit nest, some big and some small, and two or three of them were as big as a palm.

Just when Zhou Daming and the others were about to take them all away.

"Daming, those three are too small, let's release them!" Zhou Yimin spoke at this time.

Although wild rabbits have a strong reproductive capacity and can reproduce many times a year, the number of offspring each time is relatively large. In the north, wild rabbits reproduce 3-4 litters a year, with 7-8 offspring in each litter.

In the south, hares can produce 6-8 litters per year, with each litter producing 7-8 pups. In addition, the gestation period is 30-40 days, and female rabbits go into estrus multiple times, which makes their reproduction more efficient.

However, overfishing will still have an impact on the environment.

After hearing Zhou Yimin's words, Zhou Daming released the three palm-sized rabbits to the reluctant eyes of Zhou Dayong and others.

Although they also knew that what Zhou Yimin said made sense, they were still reluctant to spit out the meat that was already in their mouths.

All you can do is turn your head away and pretend you don’t see it!
After being released, the three little wild rabbits left this dangerous place without looking back and disappeared in a short while.

Without any reluctance, their brothers, sisters and parents were all caught, but they left without looking back, as if they were afraid that if they walked slower, their entire family would be "executed".

After the harvest, everyone had a smile on their face, at least their work was not in vain.

Just at this moment, Zhou Darong felt a pain in his stomach.

"Gurgle, gurgle" sound.

The surroundings are very quiet, so every sound can be heard very clearly.

Zhou Darong's whole face suddenly turned red, just like a monkey's butt.

Except for Zhou Yimin, everyone present knew this kind of thing. It was just that now that everyone in the village had enough to eat, the frequency of this kind of thing was gradually decreasing.

Zhou Yimin suggested: "We have caught a wild rabbit now, right? Why don't we find a place to roast it and eat it?"

But he had never eaten roasted rabbit and wanted to try it.

Everyone present agreed and started looking for a place. First of all, the place had to be open, otherwise when they were grilling, they might accidentally set the trees nearby on fire, and the fire would get out of control and that would be troublesome.

It is cold now and most of the water is frozen.

Zhou Daming said at this time: "I know a place where the water should not be frozen."

After saying that, he led the way and after walking for more than ten or twenty minutes, they arrived at the place Zhou Daming mentioned.

Zhou Yimin was very curious about whether the water here was indeed frozen.

Normally, such water flow should have been frozen long ago, but in fact it has not been frozen and is still flowing.

Zhou Darong and his men took out three wild rabbits and killed them quickly with the knives they carried with them. The rabbits whose aortas had just been cut kept struggling. As time went by, the movements of the rabbits' struggles became smaller and smaller, until finally they could not move at all.

They then began to gut and skin the animals, then took out all the internal organs and threw them aside.
