Carry a fountain with you

Chapter 445 Circle and Fascinating Step
When the hare came back along its own tracks, it bumped into the cover and was strangled directly by the neck.The other end of the cover is wedged into the ground and it is difficult to break free, and this end is a loose buckle, so the more the hare struggles, the tighter the cover becomes.

Of course, if the hare backs away, the cover will automatically loosen, and the hare's head will come out of the cover.But the thing just struggles forward until it's strangled.

"I see," several tourists kept nodding their heads.

Liu Junhao also suddenly realized that he used to only use a rabbit trap to catch rabbits, but he never thought about the reason.

"Follow me, be careful not to step on the rabbit's mark." Er Mazi ordered.

Several people wanted to see how to chase the hare, so they naturally nodded in agreement.

Just after walking more than 20 meters away, Er Mazi stopped suddenly, pointed to a large footprint on the snow and said, "Look here, it's the footprint of a rabbit walking back and forth. Let's go around it, so as not to confuse it later and break the track."

"How to get confused?" A tourist asked curiously, he really couldn't see the meaning of walking back and forth.

"Rabbits like to draw circles when they are hiding after eating. In order to hide their footprints, they usually jump high and sideways, making many circles or ecstasy steps... Do you know the ecstasy steps? They are in your own tracks. Run back and forth on the trail several times to interfere with the sight of natural enemies. After a few times of tossing, they will get into the hole without leaving a trace." Er Mazi pointed to the traces on the ground and talked eloquently.

"Is it so mysterious? Why does it sound like a novel? Are rabbits smarter than humans?" Dr. Wang lifted Liu Junhao's shoulder in disbelief.

"Hehe, I don't know." Liu Junhao used to catch rabbits just to make Xiaopi chase him to death, so he really didn't know there were so many things in it.

"Why don't rabbits be called short-tailed ghosts? If you follow me, you will know..." Er Mazi explained, pointing to the messy footprints on the ground and said, "If you don't believe me, you can leave a sign here, we will definitely kidnap again later. return."

"Really..." Dr. Wang immediately threw one of his black gloves on the ground.

Er Mazi was really right. They followed their footprints to find more than half of the wheat field, and finally returned to the place two or three meters away from the original point.

Now the tourists are all convinced. It seems that they are not bragging, they really have research on catching rabbits.

"That was the first circle just now, and now we are about to meet the second circle. Xiaohao, let the macula get ready, the rabbit will appear soon. Generally, rabbits only draw two circles, and three circles Rabbits are rare." Er Mazi turned her head and instructed seriously.

"No problem," Liu Junhao patted Xiaopi on the head and nodded.Now the macular skin finally comes in handy. If you want to catch wild rabbits in normal times, you don't need to bother so much, just let Xiaopi search around.As long as the rabbit is found, that guy will never run away.

But not after it snowed, mainly because the rabbits left many traces and smells on the snow, which could easily interfere with Xiaopi's judgment.As for those few circles just now, I guess Xiaopi would feel dizzy after searching around.

They walked another 30 meters along the circle, and the footprints suddenly broke off.There are no traces around, as if a hare suddenly grew wings and flew away.

"What's going on here?" Even Liu Junhao felt quite strange.

"Don't worry, this is called a broken circle, which means that the rabbit is hiding not far away, and we will find it soon. You all pay attention to see which place is relatively high nearby, and it should be within 30 meters nearby. If you see a place with a bump Oh, there is a black hole exposed, it must be the snow nest where the hare hides." Er Mazi squinted his eyes and looked around.

When it snows, rabbits have no place to hide. They usually lie under the heavy snow, which is harder to find than usual.But not without flaws, they also need to breathe.A small hole will form in the snow on the hare's head due to the heat from breathing.As long as you find a small hole, you can close the door and catch rabbits.

"I also know this. Rabbits are 'high on the low, bottom on the high, artemisia on the grass, and grass on the artemisia'," Liu Junhao also read out a common saying in order not to show his ignorance.

The snow fell heavily, and the wheat seedlings were completely covered under it, and there was no green to be seen at first.However, under the whirlwind of the north wind, there are still a few places where some wheat green is exposed.

A tourist walked forward patiently, and suddenly found a black hole the size of an egg in the snowdrift that was swirled by the wind three meters in front of him, and there was a light yellow urine mark outside the black hole.

"I found it, I found it!" exclaimed the tourist excitedly.

"Don't yell..." Before Er Mazi finished speaking, a fat body suddenly jumped out of the black hole, then turned its hoofs and palms, and ran away desperately with all four limbs, running more than ten times in a blink of an eye. meters away.

"Xiaopi!" Liu Junhao happened to be in the opposite direction at the moment, more than 30 meters away from the rabbit hole.Obtaining the master's order, the macula followed closely and rushed out to catch up.Wukong also wanted to jump, but he was hugged tightly in his arms.

"What are you shouting, I'm still going to find 'Dawo'" Er Mazi came over and shouted a little depressed.Sleeping means that you don't wait for the rabbit to come out of the hole, and you rush to catch it directly.

This method would not work with other animals, but rabbits are very confident in their hiding places.As long as there is no major movement, they generally hide in the nest and refuse to move.

"Didn't I find the rabbit excited?" The tourist scratched his head and explained embarrassingly.

"Don't worry, Xiaopi can't get away with it." Liu Junhao is full of confidence in his macular skin.

There was no accident this time, the hare had been squatting in the snow nest for so long, and with its short legs and thick snow, it was thrown down by Xiao Pi in the snow before jumping far.With a hare in hand, everyone became more interested and began to search for it in the wheat field.

"Here, here" just after walking two wheat fields, another tourist shouted.

But when they saw the traces, several people became confused. It seemed that there were more than one kind of footprints on the ground.

What kind of imprint is this?Er Mazi didn't recognize the new footprints either.What confuses them even more is that the two kinds of footprints are completely mixed together, regardless of each other.

Several people circled around for two weeks, Er Mazi suddenly grabbed Liu Junhao and pointed to a black hole more than ten meters away.

"Is this different from the one just now?" a tourist whispered.

According to what Er Mazi said, when a rabbit approaches a cave, it usually jumps away. How could this lead directly to the entrance of the cave.

Liu Junhao didn't think too much, and patted Xiaopi's head directly.But before Xiaopi got close, a khaki-colored guy jumped out of it with a "bass".

Weasel... I didn't expect that there would be a weasel in the snow nest.

Seeing that it was this thing, Liu Junhao immediately lost interest and called Xiaopi back directly.

The winter weasel has thick fur, and one on the street can be sold for 50 yuan, but Liu Junhao still can't see this money, so let's save that guy's life.

"It turns out that the rabbit in the snow nest was eaten by a weasel." Er Mazi opened the snow nest, and only then discovered the mystery in the snow nest, a hare that had been mostly eaten.

"Weasels still eat rabbits, don't they?" Doctor Wang exclaimed in surprise.The hare was obviously much bigger than the weasel, and he always thought that this thing only ate mice.

"Hehe, it's normal. I've seen a weasel catching a rabbit once before. When this guy encounters a rabbit, he will dance around not far away, rolling around and jumping back and forth. As a result, the rabbit is blinded within a few minutes , standing there stupidly motionless, eyes staring straight, completely ignorant of escape, and finally was bitten to death by the weasel." Liu Junhao said.

"It's not true, is it?" Several tourists felt that what he said was even more mysterious, and that he had already developed in the direction of superstition.

"When we meet later, we will take pictures for you to see." Liu Junhao didn't argue.The weasel is really naughty. It is not unreasonable for rural people to call it Huang Daxian.

It took less than three hours in the field, and the harvest was beyond imagination.

Rabbits have super reproductive ability, and they can give birth to three or four in one litter, which is a litter in two months.I didn't think so before, but today I found signs that the rabbits in the field were flooding again, and there were footprints everywhere in the wheat fields.With little effort they caught nine hares, exactly one for each of them.

Of course, Xiaopi made a great contribution this time, and he caught more than half of them. Liu Junhao planned to reward him after returning home.

At the door of his house, Liu Junhao found that he had been out for less than three hours, and a snowman more than one meter high had already stood at the gate of the courtyard.

It turned out that just after I left, Wang Fang and Du Fei came over to chat with the couple.Hearing that Liu Junhao had gone to catch a rabbit, Wang Fang suggested that they build a snowman for fun.

A few days ago, I was thinking about finding time to invite the two of them to have another meal. It happened that they came by coincidence, and they had stewed pheasant and rabbit for lunch.

Du Fei and Wang Fang have been in Liujiagou for almost half a year, and they are already very familiar with Liu Junhao, so they stayed without too many excuses.

The job of cooking the spoon was naturally handed over to Liu Junhao. He cut the pheasant and rabbit meat into half a pot, scalded them with boiling water, washed them, sprinkled with peppercorns, and then put a few pieces of wood under the pot to boil them vigorously. After the meat was cooked, he went to the courtyard Cut a few white radishes into large pieces from the sand in the pot and throw them into the pot.

After working for nearly an hour, the stewed radish with an appetizing aroma came out of the pan.The four of them couldn't finish this big pot. Liu Junhao made two pots of meat and bones for the animals in the courtyard, threw a few steamed buns, and then called everyone to eat.

The soup is fragrant and spicy in the mouth, and the meat is all stewed, without clogging the teeth at all.Even the radish tasted delicious, and the mouth was full of umami, and the two who ate it directly praised it.

Zhang Qian dislikes meat, so Liu Junhao specially made her a stick of braised radish.

These radish strips are cut into strips and dried in the autumn. When frying, put salt, soy sauce, and aniseed ingredients into them.Due to the good ingredients, although it is an ordinary white radish, it tastes crisp and refreshing. After eating it, there is a lot of aftertaste, and it still has a little meat taste.

Taking advantage of his joy, Liu Junhao made another half jar of monkey wine and poured it for the two of them.Wang Fang refused to drink at first, but after taking a sip, she couldn't say anything about her refusal.
