In the northwest, weasels are not as mysterious as in the northeast. This thing likes to come to the house to steal chickens. If you are not careful, you will be locked in the chicken coop and unable to get out.

Moreover, once caught, they will be really killed, instead of worrying about their retribution and treating them as Wong Tai Sin.

We are also from the north, but the people in the northwest are relatively tougher, not afraid of the sky or the earth.

Wang Tianxiao had caught a weasel several times at home, always in a chicken coop. He would hang the weasel upside down on the wall and starve it to death so that he could get the complete weasel skin.

The weasel is full of treasures, its fur can be sold for money, and its tail is bought at a high price. Although the meat left behind has a mediocre taste, it is still edible.

In this era, meat still needs to be supplied with meat stamps. Generally, the urban household registration is satisfied first, and very few are allocated to rural areas. Many people can only eat some pork, beef, and mutton throughout the year and during the Chinese New Year. Everyone has less oil and water in their bodies, so it is very difficult for them to eat meat.

I like to eat pork, but unlike later generations, beef and mutton are much more expensive than pork.

When Wang Tianxiao saw his younger brother making such a fuss, he felt amused. His younger brother was usually quite courageous, but he had a passion in his heart and was ready to devote himself to the country. Unexpectedly, when he was brought to the mountains, he still showed his youthful side.

He patted his brother on the shoulder, looked at the vast mountains, and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid. Although the animals in the mountains are dangerous, they are not insidious. Humans are the animals in the world that need to be guarded most."

"Brother, you are becoming more and more like a mother. Why are you so full of truth?"

Wang Tianxiao was stunned and laughed.

The two continued walking in the snow for a while, and the nearest village could no longer be seen behind them, so they finally reached the foot of the mountain.

At the foot of the mountain are hills, which have been reclaimed by farmers into fields. These lands are not under the jurisdiction of the government, so there is no need to pay public grain, so potatoes, sweet potatoes, sorghum and the like are also good.

.

It's winter now, the fields are all bare, and there are rows of haystacks piled on every farm.

Some are sorghum stacks, some are sweet potato vines, etc. They look like long steamed buns in the moonlight.

The villagers near the mountains originally had no shortage of firewood, but Li Yali is now inconvenient and has a big belly that makes her nervous even when she is on the kang, let alone going to the mountains to chop firewood, so the firewood at home becomes a problem.

"Brother, how long do we have to go?"

Wang Tiancheng felt a little cold. He had no experience of patrolling mountains at night. After walking for two hours, his patience and initial enthusiasm gradually waned, and he felt uncomfortable.

"Shh!"

Wang Tianxiao stopped, took off a snakeskin bag from his waist and handed it to Wang Tiancheng.

"elder brother?"

Wang Tianxiao pointed to the haystack in front of him and to the snow on the ground.

Wang Tiancheng followed his brother's hand and looked towards the snow, and was surprised to find that there were two rows of small paw prints on the ground extending into the sorghum pile in front of him.

"Is there something wrong?" Wang Tiancheng's breathing became rapid.

"Look at it."

Wang Tianxiao took out the flashlight from his pocket and bit it in his mouth. He took off the gun on his back, pointed it at the pile of sorghum stalks, and slowly moved the pile away. Sure enough, he saw a small hole in the middle.

Suddenly, the bright light of the flashlight suddenly shone in the hole, where a gray hare was hiding and sleeping.

The bright light of the flashlight made him panic a little, but his eyes were pierced by the bright light for a moment. He didn't know where to run, but he rushed straight towards Wang Tianxiao.

"This idiot." Wang Tianxiao had quick eyes and quick hands, and hit the hare with the tip of his gun, knocking the rabbit unconscious directly into the hole.

A little thing like a hare, despite its flexibility, actually has very little endurance and a very stupid mind.

Without terrain restrictions or cover, none of them have the endurance, let alone the ability to outrun a dog.

Every autumn harvest time, when villagers go to work in the fields, they bring their native dogs with them. Every now and then they will encounter a hare hiding inside to eat the grain, and the dog will rush over quickly. Basically, the dog will catch the hare.

Rabbits, pheasants and badgers are known as the three stupid ones, which means they are really stupid and can be easily caught.

Badgers, whether they are dog badgers or pig badgers, are all pretentious. Although they are fierce, one wants to bite people and the other wants to humiliate people. In fact, they are just paper tigers and can be easily countered.

Pheasants may have been hunted very seriously because they were too stupid. In this era, you could see pheasants in any vegetable field, but in later generations they were almost rare, so they became protected animals.

The continuous development of human civilization has squeezed the living space of these wild animals to a certain extent.

But this is also nature's natural selection. Who calls them wild animals?

"Give me a piece of rope."

Wang Tiancheng hurriedly pulled out a few-foot-long piece from the bundle of fine hemp rope and handed it to Wang Tianxiao. Although he had eaten hares, he had never killed them himself. When he saw the unconscious hare, he was very excited.

Wang Tianxiao was not so excited. Hunting rabbits or something like that was basically a daily routine for him.

It's no different than going to the toilet.

He quickly wrapped the rabbit's mouth with a rope several times, and fixed the legs. Then he put the rabbit into a snakeskin bag and gave it to his younger brother to carry.

The hare's teeth are very sharp. If you put it directly into the bag, it will crush the bag and run away.

If only the legs are tied, it can also bite the rope.

Many people have no idea about rabbit teeth and think that rabbits are really cute. But in fact, rabbits are also rodents. Their incisors are very sharp and can break wood. If bitten by a rabbit, you will have to fight a rabid dog.

Vaccine, otherwise it may really die.

In addition, rabbits are also very good at digging holes.

When Wang Tianxiao was a child, his mother raised a lot of rabbits in a small cave. As a result, these guys punched countless small holes in the entire wall of the cave.

But even if you know that the hare may escape, you still can't kill it directly. The prices of dead and alive wild animals are completely different.

A live hare can be sold for five yuan in the city, or even ten yuan if you are lucky, but no one wants a dead hare.

In addition, all wild animals must try their best to ensure the integrity of the skin. There must be no holes, chips, cracks, etc. Basically no one will want the damaged skin.

Therefore, Wang Tianxiao would not use a gun unless absolutely necessary, and even if he did use it, he would load it with very little gunpowder, just to prevent the skin from being beaten too badly or the rabbit being killed and unable to sell for a good price.

Hare meat tastes just like that, not very delicious, and there is very little meat. Hunting a rabbit is not enough for a family to make a sacrifice, so people in mountain villages don't care much about it, but people in cities eat it as a curiosity.

, especially many big hotels, there is a lot of demand.
