Return to the era, take over and become a winner in life

Chapter 96: Talking alone is not enough (Subscribe)
Xu Ye returned home and shouted towards the yard.

"An An, open the door. Liu Quansheng is almost dead from the explosion I caused."

"Brother Ye!"

Jiang Ruoan ran into the yard happily, opened the door, and threw herself into Xu Ye's arms.

"Are you not hurt?" Jiang Ruoan asked with a worried look on his face.

"No, not a single hair has fallen off." Xu Ye rubbed Jiang Ruoan's head and said gently.

Jiang Ruoan still likes Xu Ye's head-patting gesture and enjoys it very much.

"Awesome, Xu Ye, you are really awesome."

"In this way, Sanbao and the others should be able to come back, right?" Wang Chunhua asked hurriedly.

She had already fallen asleep, but was awakened by the sound of a grenade explosion.

"Send someone to notify them early tomorrow morning, and they can come back. Don't worry, auntie. They will definitely return safely." Xu Ye comforted her.

Thinking that Liu Quansheng had been killed by Xu Ye, Wang Chunhua also felt that her man and son would not be in any danger.

So she then asked: "Can I go home now?"

There was a strong smell of mugwort in Li Dongming's room, which she didn't like very much.

"Well, you can go back now. Remember to bolt the door." Xu Ye reminded.

Wang Chunhua didn't stay and went home directly.

"I'll go take a shower first and wash off the smell on my body." With that, Xu Ye walked into the house.

Xu Ye would not go to clean up the mess. Anyway, Yang Zongming was there, so he could not escape the credit.

Jiang Ruyue closed and bolted the door to prevent anyone from breaking in.

Li Qian was still sleeping and was not awakened by the sound of the grenade explosion.

Jiang Ruyue wanted to rub Xu Ye's back and give him a massage.

She knew that Xu Ye dealt with Liu Quansheng for his own safety. He didn't want Liu Quansheng to hurt him, so Xu Ye took the risk.

Being touched was not enough, she felt that she still needed to repay Xu Ye with actions.

At home, that was all she could do.

If you want more, you can only go into the mountains next time.

When there is no one in the mountains, she can fully show another side of herself, a side that she only shows to Xu Ye.

After taking a shower, Jiang Ruyue gave Xu Ye a back massage.

After Gu Yun's guidance, Jiang Ruyue's technique was better tonight, and she pressed on the meridians, which made it more comfortable than before.

Jiang Ruoan's technique is still a little lacking, but he can learn from Jiang Ruyue and he should be able to catch up in no time.

After the massage, Jiang Ruyue went back to sleep.

"An An, let me help you press it. You and I have worked hard just now. Now it's my turn to serve you."

As soon as Jiang Ruyue left, Xu Ye hugged Jiang Ruoan.

"Itchy, don't scratch~ah~"

Jiang Ruoan quickly begged for mercy, regretting letting his sister go back.

After the couple played for a while, Xu Ye had an in-depth conversation with her about the topic of love.

Both of them agreed that love is through action and doing.

It's not enough to just talk. No matter how good you are at talking, it's still not as profound and direct as taking action.

Time passed so quickly that it cannot be described, and the next day came in the blink of an eye.

After breakfast, Xu Ye took the hatchet and took the leopard out.

He needs to go to the mountains to cut some bamboo to make water pipes, otherwise he doesn't know when he can use the tap water.

When villagers meet Xu Ye, they will take the initiative to greet him.

The expressions in their eyes were different from usual. There was an extra touch of appreciation in their eyes, and some even had an extra touch of fear in their eyes.

Obviously, the news that Xu Ye had killed Liu Quansheng with a grenade alone last night had spread throughout the brigade.

The bamboo is quite far away and the brigade does not impose any restrictions because there are not many people who need it and it is still wild.

Normally, people cut bamboo mainly to make fishing rods.

Xu Ye went straight to the location Jiang Ruoan mentioned, and indeed saw quite a few bamboos.

"Leopard."

Xu Ye was very excited when he saw the leopard and quickly chased after it.

Because there is no leash, the leopard is freer.

When this happens, there is only one possibility.

That means there is prey.

The leopard ran straight to where the bamboo grew, and Xu Ye saw a hole in the ground.

There is no doubt that there is something in this hole.

"Good dog!"

Xu Ye rubbed the leopard's head and let it stare at the cave entrance.

This cave may have more than one entrance, Xu Ye thought about it and looked for it.

Whatever it is, it's a pleasant surprise.

Soon, Xu Ye found another exit.

This exit is located at the top, and if smoke is used, the animals inside should escape to this exit.

Xu Ye lay down and listened at the entrance of the cave, and heard a very rapid heartbeat.

There is something about this extreme hearing. He can't hear the sounds from his own body, as if he is blocked.

Otherwise, the sound of his own heartbeat alone would be enough to overwhelm him.

"Leopard, come here."

Xu Ye greeted and switched seats with the leopard.

He needs to get some smoke to get the contents out.

After collecting some bamboo leaves, Xu Ye started burning them at the entrance of the cave.

The smoke is very thick because a lot of fresh bamboo leaves are mixed in.

After it started burning, Xu Ye ran towards the hole above. As soon as he reached the hole, he saw a gray, chubby little animal running out.

"Bamboo rat?"

When Xu Ye saw it, his eyes lit up.

Bamboo rats are good things and are very suitable for breeding.

In later generations, many people raised bamboo rats, and some even became Internet celebrities, such as the Huanong Brothers.

Xu Ye knew about bamboo rats because of them.

No one is raising this right now, so the commune should not have any restrictions.

As long as it is not large-scale breeding, the team will probably turn a blind eye.

Xu Ye pounced on it and grabbed the bamboo rat's tail and lifted it up. It made a "whoosh, whoosh" sound and seemed very angry.

Other names for bamboo rat include bamboo rat, bamboo civet, bamboo civet, bamboo root rat, bamboo root pig, and winter hairy rat.

They live in forests, bamboo forests, and bushes, feeding on bamboo, plant roots, and Miscanthus.

Their meat can be used as medicine to treat diseases. It has the effects of promoting the growth of white blood cells and hair, enhancing liver function, and preventing vascular sclerosis.

Moreover, the meat itself is very delicious and tender, and is very popular with diners.

The bamboo rat's fur is soft, thick, smooth and silky, with moderate thickness. It is easy to tan and dye, and is a top-quality raw material for making fur coats.

Its whiskers are the raw material for making high-end brushes.

Blood, teeth and oil are all raw materials for the pharmaceutical industry.

It is very popular internationally, and if it can be farmed on a large scale, it can be exported abroad to earn foreign exchange.

Therefore, raising bamboo rats can definitely help you get rid of poverty and become rich.

If he becomes the team leader, he will definitely promote bamboo rat breeding on a large scale.

Bamboo reproduces very quickly, and combined with large-scale cultivation of potatoes and sweet potatoes, it is very easy to raise bamboo rats.

According to his estimation, no one in China currently raises bamboo rats.

Then he can be the first person to try it!

Thinking of this, Xu Ye couldn't help but stare at the entrance of the cave, hoping to catch a few more.

Bamboo rats have strong reproductive capacity and can reproduce all year round. The gestation period is 50-60 days.

一般年产8窝左右，每胎3—8只，有的达8—12只。

As long as there is enough food, it is more valuable than rabbits.

Because its meat has a much higher fat content than rabbit meat, and the meat is more tender and delicious.

Just as I was thinking about it, a bamboo rat rushed out again.

Xu Ye reacted extremely quickly. When the leopard pounced, Xu Ye had already grabbed the bamboo rat's tail and lifted it up.

To catch a bamboo rat, you have to grab its tail.

Putting the two bamboo rats in one hand, Xu Ye freed up the other hand to catch the others.

Soon, two of them jumped out.

Xu Ye caught one of them, and the other one now had to be left to the leopard.

The leopard did not disappoint Xu Ye and bit the bamboo rat directly, but it was unknown whether it killed the rat or not.

When I took it out of its mouth, I realized that the leopard did not kill it, but just held it.

"Good dog!" Xu Ye quickly rubbed its head to give it some moral encouragement.

Immediately afterwards, another little bamboo rat rushed out and was caught by Xu Ye.

After waiting for a while, Xu Ye did not see any other bamboo rats.

There were obviously some inside, but they were probably killed by the smoke.

Xu Ye didn't bring a hoe, so he had no way to dig.

Moreover, the holes dug by bamboo rats are very complicated, and it takes a lot of time and effort to dig, which is not cost-effective.

So Xu Ye put five bamboo rats of different sizes into the backpack, and then quickly took off his coat and wrapped the top of the backpack.

Pull out the belt around your waist and tie the clothes tightly at the mouth of the backpack to prevent bamboo rats from getting out.

This method can only trap the bamboo rat temporarily, but it is enough.

Xu Ye quickly cut a dozen bamboos and tied them up simply.

After finishing it, Xu Ye put on the backpack and quickly went down the mountain dragging the bamboo.

When I got home, the bamboo rat was about to break out of prison.

He simply turned the backpack upside down and asked Jiang Ruoan to go to Zhang Gui's house to borrow a large bucket.

This kind of barrel is a large wooden barrel with a diameter of two meters. It is used to soak sweet potato rice. Most of the well-off families in their commune have one, or several families can get together and ask a craftsman to make one.

Xu Ye couldn’t think of any other suitable place to keep bamboo rats for the time being. The only thing he could think of was that big barrel.

Some people also keep rabbits in buckets.

It was not until Xu Ye poured the bamboo rats into the bucket that Jiang Ruoan and Jiang Ruyue realized what the "whooshing" sound was in Xu Ye's backpack.

"Is this Zhuliu?"

"The fur is so smooth and looks oily. It must be delicious, right?" Jiang Ruoan looked at the bamboo rat with shining eyes.

"Xu Ye, are you planning to keep them?" Jiang Ruyue asked curiously.

This bamboo rat looks like a rabbit, and the big ones weigh at least two or three pounds.

"Yes, we are going to raise them. In the afternoon, you two go to Shangxi Village to buy some bricks. I will build a bamboo rat house to raise them."

"This meat tastes better than rabbit meat and is very suitable for feeding. Let's try raising it first."

As he said that, Xu Ye cut a bamboo and threw it in.

The barrel also needs to be covered with straw because they like dark places.

Jiang Ruyue lay beside the barrel and touched the bamboo rat's furry back with her hand.

After touching it, she looked up at Xu Ye and said, "I've eaten it before, and it's indeed much more delicious than rabbit meat."

"At that time I wanted to try raising it, but Brother Dongming said it was difficult to raise and it would be easier to catch it if I wanted to eat it."

"If I keep it, the brigade won't confiscate it, right?"

　There will be another update soon!!!
