Wang Tianxiao looked ahead, stood up straight, walked a few steps, squatted down again, pointed to the two lines of footprints on the ground extending into the distance and said, "Look, these are the real traces."

"Hey," Wang Tianxin looked behind him in surprise, "Why are there suddenly footprints here, but there are none behind us? Is it because of the snow?"

"Of course not, their footprints are obviously left after the snow. And generally, mammals rarely come out directly in the snow. Even if they resist the cold, they will wait for the snow to stop."

"Then that's strange. Did it fly over?"

"Haha," Wang Tianxiao said with a smile, "You're right, it really flew here. To be precise, it jumped. It's about three meters from where we arranged the cage to here, which means that thing can

Jump more than three meters."

"I see. No wonder I can't find any traces. If you don't have experience, you will definitely not notice this." Wang Tianxin said with admiration.

"This is not a difficult task. It is common sense to hunters in the mountains." Wang Tianxiao smiled.

"Then what on earth is this, brother? Is it some kind of cat, just like the two little ocelots we have at home?"

"It's a green weasel."

"Green weasel?" Wang Tianxin looked confused. He had never heard the name of such a thing.

"Oh, it's the yellow-throated marten, or we're used to calling it the honey dog."

"It's Migouzi." Wang Tianxin finally heard a name he was familiar with.

The Green Weasel is a small member of the Weasel family and has a very wide range of activities. They can be found almost everywhere from the Daxinganling Mountains in the Northeast to the mountains of Yunnan.

And they are also particularly adaptable to the environment and can survive well in different environments.

The green weasel's head is small and triangular, a bit like a small fox. There are orange-yellow hairs from the chin to the chest, like a yellow scarf, so this kind of marten is also called the yellow-throated marten.

Because it looks like a fox, it is also called the yellow-rumped fox.

But the most common folk name for green weasel is Migouzi.

People think that honey dogs like to eat honey the most, but this is not the case. They like to eat all sweet things, and honey is undoubtedly one of the sweetest things in nature.

The size of the green weasel is not much different from that of stone martens and sables. It is generally between thirty and fifty centimeters tall, has a fluffy tail, and weighs about two kilograms.

But the green weasel is a very ferocious species in the genus Marten.

Despite their small stature, they are also very light in weight. Apart from appearing greedy when eating, they are quite cute at other times.

But in fact, they are truly apex predators.

Their diet is mainly rodents, small mammals, and reptiles, but the upper limit is extremely high, including badgers, musk deer, deer, antelopes, etc. They even prey on small wild boars, which can be said to be extremely ferocious.

What's even more outrageous is that they also hunt the sables, stone martens, weasels, and tigers of the same race, and are one of the most important hunters of these same species.

Therefore, Migouzi has always had a bad impression in the hearts of the people. He is a representative of greed and cunning, no better than jackals and wolves.

And when a hunter meets a honey dog, he will definitely be in a good mood.

If these things are not reduced as much as possible, they can directly change the ecology of the nearby province.

In addition, since the honey dog ​​also belongs to the genus Mink, it also meets the valuable characteristics of mink's fur and tail, so the hunter's efforts to hunt them are not in vain.

Judging from the current situation, the rabbit in this cage must have been eaten by the honey dog.

They are also martens. Stone martens are relatively gentle and less courageous. They usually come out in the evening. Although honey dogs are very active at night, they are also active during the day.

Judging from the scene, the small footprints left behind are unique to mustelids. It snowed heavily yesterday almost until dawn. If it was moving at night, the heavy snow would hide its footprints, but now it seems that such small footprints are still clear

It can be seen that it is naturally what happens at dawn after snow.

This can be inferred from the fact that the blood stains on the snow are still bright red and have not become dull.

Only honeydogs like to go out and be active during the day, so the culprit of eating rabbits must be honeydogs.

"What should we do now?" Wang Tianxin asked.

Wang Tianxin is eager to try.

Wang Tianxiao smiled and looked at the shallow traces extending into the distance, "Of course we will catch up and take away their nest. If you dare to eat our rabbits, you will definitely not be able to make them safe."

"But how to find its nest?"

Wang Tianxiao pointed to the footprints on the ground, "Just follow the footprints. Honeydogs usually live near the water, and they are very home-loving and will not stray too far from home when they go out for activities. There is no river nearby, only one kilometer away.

There is a creek where mountain springs gather, so their home must be over there."

Wang Tianxiao called Dafeng over and asked him to smell the footprints on the ground. Dafeng sniffed carefully for a while, then ran forward, followed closely by Dahei.

Among the three dogs, Gale is the fastest and has the most sensitive sense of smell.

Ah Ying has strong fighting ability, while Da Hei has good endurance. Each of the three has shortcomings and strong sides.

"Dafeng, slow down," Wang Tianxiao called out to Dafeng, and then said to the two people beside him: "Follow us, our hunting time has begun."

Wang Tianxin and Wu Wenhua were both nervous and excited.

Especially Wang Tianxin, who put a steel ball in a slingshot and imitated the guerrillas in the outdoor movies played at the entrance of the village, and kept watch everywhere.

"Don't panic, it's not that fast, hurry up and catch up."

"As commanded."

The three of them followed the footsteps of the two and walked forward quickly. After walking a few hundred meters, they found that two more footprints suddenly appeared on the ground, and then they all extended forward.

Wang Tianxiao stopped and looked around at the terrain.

"What's wrong, brother?"

"Shh, be quiet, don't talk loudly."

Wang Tianxiao stopped his brother softly, and then whispered: "Look at the ground, there are more than just the footprints of a honey dog. Looking at this situation, they should be coming together from several different angles, which proves that it is not just one or two, maybe it is

A nest.”

"So good?!" Wang Tianxin was extremely happy.

Wang Tianxiao looked at his brother speechlessly, this guy is really big-hearted.

It's like someone else is waiting to be caught by him.

"Don't underestimate them. Honeydogs are actually very ferocious. When a family unites, they can even kill male deer and wild boars. Even though you are a human, they are no match for you."

"Brother, don't scare me. I'm not scared. Besides, we have a skilled hunter like you. What are we afraid of? We can't have ambitions like those of a honey dog ​​and destroy our prestige."

"..."

Wang Tianxiao was too lazy to continue chatting with his brother. He grabbed a handful of snow and swung it in the air. The snowflake powder scattered in the sunlight, making the sunlight refracted beautifully.
