Chapter 003 Fourth brother, step on!
"Fourth brother, what's wrong?" Xiao Hongshu asked beside him.
"It's nothing. Just stay where you are and don't move. Maybe we will actually have some meat to eat today." Jiang Chuyang replied in a low voice.
According to the experience of rebirth, as long as you find rabbit footprints on a snowy day, that rabbit is basically a 'lamb' waiting to be slaughtered.
This is not bragging, but a rabbit in the snow cannot run at all and can only be trapped in the snow pit and toss around.
Especially rabbits going downhill can only roll all the way because of their short forelimbs.
If you hit something, you'll basically faint.
As for those who are chasing after you, just pick up what you have and go home.
He had encountered this kind of thing many times at the foot of Shiniu Mountain on a snowy day.
Therefore, since I encountered the hare's footprints this time, I naturally would not miss them.
Although Xiao Hongshu didn't know the inside story, she still nodded her head obediently: "Then Fourth Brother, you have to come back quickly, I'm scared to be here alone."
"I know, if you're hungry, just eat the sweet potatoes! Brother, I'll have winter bamboo shoots to eat later."
After Jiang Chuyang turned around and gave a warning, he followed the hare's footprints and crunched through the snow towards the mountain col to the north.
On both sides of the mountain col, there are silk thatch grasses as tall as a person.
Although it was covered with heavy snow, the basic outline could still be seen.
The hare's footprints disappeared in the silk thatch on the right.
Even close to the ground, you can see a hole the size of a basketball.
Jiang Chuyang knew that if nothing unexpected happened, there must be a hare inside.
But it is difficult to catch it.
Because of the silk thatch covered with snow, no one knew what was going on inside.
I just wanted to throw a few rocks to see where the hare was hiding.
With a crash, a large amount of snow fell on the big tree fifty meters ahead.
The sound of snow falling to the ground was not loud, but it startled the two big gray hares hiding in the silk thatch.
That's right, there are two big gray hares, one of which ran to the east.
The other one ran along the downhill road of the mountain col towards the southern bamboo forest.
When Jiang Chuyang saw this scene, how could he let go of this stupid big gray hare that was going downhill?
He threw the hoe and ran after him.
The big gray hare heard the footsteps of Jiang Chuyang chasing behind him.
He quickly accelerated his escape pace.
It's a pity that it is running downhill.
The reason why my legs are not very fast in sprinting is because of them.
The most fatal thing is that he got stuck in the snow while running.
With no other option, the big gray hare could only escape from the snow pit by jumping.
However, in this jump, due to its short forelimbs, it turned into a roll when it landed.
The speed was quite fast at the beginning, after all, there was a gravity bonus when rolling downhill.
However, it was precisely for this reason that the big gray hare ended his life.
As it rolled, the size of the big gray hare became larger.
It turned into a ‘snowball’ wrapped in snow.
In other words, the direction and speed of the big gray hare rolling down were no longer under its control.
As the downhill slope slows down, it becomes an easy prey in the snow pit.
How could Jiang Chuyang let go of such a good opportunity? He chased after it with all his strength.
Before the big gray hare climbs out of the snow pit, it just steps forward and kicks it.
He kicked the big gray hare until it fainted, and its limbs were still twitching.
But Jiang Chuyang knew that the big gray hare was definitely not dead.
In order to prevent him from escaping, he stepped forward to add another kick.
Then he tore down the dry vines on the roadside.
I got a big five-flowered rabbit for the big gray hare.
Then he panted and walked towards the col.
This is not because young Jiang Chuyang is in poor physical condition.
But he was very hungry, and his energy had been exhausted from the chase just now.
You can walk to the mountain col to pick up the hoe.
That's already very good for Jiang Chuyang.
After coming out of the mountain col, Xiao Hongshu cheered and greeted him: "Wow, fourth brother is so awesome!"
"Hahaha... just so so. Let's stew this hare later." Jiang Chuyang laughed after hearing this.
"But...but...it's still alive!" Xiao Hongshu pointed at the big gray hare that was tied up by the five-flowered vines, and it hurriedly hid far away.
"What are you afraid of? Live hare meat is delicious." Jiang Chuyang comforted him.
"I don't! How can you kill Cha when the little rabbit is so cute?" Little Sweet Potato said with a pout.
"What do you want?" Jiang Chuyang asked angrily.
At this time, he cannot be kind to women.
As for this big gray hare.
That's where food comes from.
otherwise……
I'm just afraid that I will really starve to death.
Xiao Hongshu did not answer Jiang Chuyang's words.
Instead, he looked hesitantly at the big gray hare struggling in Jiang Chuyang's hands.
It seems that she also wants to eat hare meat, but she doesn't dare to eat it because it would be too cruel.
When Jiang Chuyang saw this, he ignored the small sweet potatoes and tied up the winter bamboo shoots dug out from the ground using vines.
After weighing it and seeing that it was very solid, I took the lead and went home.
"Fourth brother, step on me and wait for me." Xiao Hongshu bit her index finger and hurriedly chased after him.
Jiang Chuyang was afraid that Little Sweet Potato would fall, so he had to wait where he was.
Suddenly, he said "Huh".
"What's wrong, Fourth Brother?" Little Sweet Potato raised her little head.
"Do you think the honeycomb under the eaves of Third Grandpa's house looks a little strange?" Jiang Chuyang asked.
"It's normal! I've known it for a long time." Xiao Hongshu followed and looked over.
Third Grandpa and Fourth Grandpa’s adobe houses have been moved out because everyone has moved out.
It is now in a state of disrepair. There are bumblebees building nests under the eaves, which is normal.
However, for this reason, the villagers did not dare to approach the adobe houses of Grandpa Three and Grandpa Four.
The fear of being stung by a wasp can be fatal.
"I have to go and take a look. Maybe there is something good in the honeycomb." Hearing this, Jiang Chuyang put down the winter bamboo shoots tied in his hand, and then handed the big gray hare to the little sweet potato: "Take it, don't let it run away.
"
"I don't!" Xiao Hongshu quickly hid far away.
"You girl." Jiang Chuyang was very helpless.
With no other option, I just gave the big gray hare a few kicks.
After being kicked to death, he tied it to his waistband and walked towards the eaves of the third grandfather's house.
"Fourth brother, you have to be careful." Xiao Hongshu reminded worriedly.
"Got it." Jiang Chuyang waved his hand without looking back.
After a while, they arrived under the eaves.
When I looked up at the honeycomb, I found that there were no bumblebees inside, only an empty shell was left.
This is not the point. The point is that this honeycomb is long, hanging down from the eaves, at least fifty or sixty centimeters long.
What does this mean? It means that before this honeycomb was formed, there was something hanging from the eaves.
But what is this thing?
