The next day, Song Xixi got up early and took the hoe with the three brothers of the Song family to check the trap set yesterday.
The four of them took the lead to go to the smallest trap, and saw that it was well covered with weeds. They knew at a glance that no small animals would step on it, so they ignored it and went directly to the creek where three medium-sized traps were arranged.
At this time, next to the trap closest to the creek, there were four or five wolves anxiously circling the trap. From time to time, they whined toward the bottom of the pit and tested the edge with their front paws, ready to jump at any time.
Not far away, there were several wolves on guard duty, their eyes emitting a light that kept strangers away.
At the bottom of the pit, which is nearly one person deep, there is a little wolf that is similar in stature to a three-month-old 250-year-old wolf.
"Woo~"
Listening to his mother's call, the little wolf responded eagerly. His short and fat front paws pulled the person upright by the pit wall, and his hind legs kept exerting force to jump out, but his efforts were in vain and he could never reach the entrance of the pit.
edge.
"Hurry up, there is movement over there, I must have caught something!"
Before he even got close, he heard the howling of a small animal in the distance. Song Yin shouted excitedly and ran towards the trap at a faster speed.
Song Xixi and the other three also wanted to see if there was any prey, so they all quickened their pace.
Unexpectedly, Song Yin in front of him stopped suddenly, quietly stepped back step by step, and turned back to wave his hands towards Song Xixi and the others, signaling them not to get close.
The three of them realized something was wrong, and hurriedly stopped and stood on tiptoes to look in the direction of the trap. However, due to the obstruction of the trees, they could not see clearly what was going on there.
When Song Yin retreated, he discovered that his face was pale and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead!
"What's going on?" Song Jin asked curiously: "Is it possible that a big guy that we can't deal with is trapped?"
Song Yin shook his head and urged: "Hurry up and get out of here first!"
Song Xixi stopped Song Jin, who wanted to ask more questions, and led them safely out of the forest.
At this time, Song Yin wiped his sweat and said with lingering fear: "There are several wolves surrounding the trap. Judging from the screams coming from inside, there should be a wolf cub trapped!"
Song Cai was shocked: "It's actually a wolf!"
Song Xixi was also surprised. She didn't expect that the trap she used to trap sheep or deer would actually trap a wolf cub. What should she do now?
"Wolves..." Song Jin rubbed his hands and said excitedly: "Second brother, have you seen how many wolves they are?"
Song Yin saw his expression and knew what he was thinking: "Brother, don't make this idea. The wolf is very ferocious and has a strong desire for revenge. If we fail to capture them all, we will suffer a lot in the future!"
"
He didn't look carefully, but at a glance, he estimated that there were no less than eight or nine wolves. Who knew if there were any wolves hiding elsewhere?
"Oh, let me think about it, I don't really want to catch them all!" Seeing his two brothers and niece looking at him disapprovingly, Song Jin smiled coquettishly and did not mention hunting wolves again.
Song Cai glanced at his daughter and said worriedly: "If the wolves smell your scent and think you have harmed their cubs, will they look for the scent to take revenge on you?"
Song Xixi was stunned for a moment, wondering whether to laugh or cry: "There are scents left by other animals there. If a wolf can be smart enough to tell that it's a trap set by me, is it still a wolf?"
Song Cai thought about it and felt that this was the truth, and he immediately felt relieved.
"Well, with these guys here, those traps are useless." Song Yin had a look of regret on his face: "Otherwise, the wolf cubs could be trapped, and other prey could also be trapped. What a pity!"
Song Jin and Song Cai also felt it was a pity, but that was all they could do. They couldn't rush over and drive away the wolves. That was something even a fool couldn't do.
But Song Xixi was such a fool. She planned to find an opportunity to throw the wolf cub out after two days when she regained her strength, so that the wolves would not surround her and hinder her trap from trapping other prey.
When the four of them returned empty-handed, the Song family knew that they had not caught the prey, so they all ran over to comfort Song Xixi, fearing that she would be unhappy.
Song Xixi was speechless, how could she be as fragile as they thought!
Breakfast was wild vegetable porridge made from wild vegetables and brown rice. There were more wild vegetables and less brown rice. It was sprinkled with salt but was much more fragrant than boiled wild vegetables. Everyone was very happy to eat it.
"This brown rice tastes better than rice and wheat. From now on, we will also grow rice in the fields. We will have to learn how to grow it later." After finishing the wild vegetable porridge, Zhang Xiaomei remembered this important thing.
In the past, Song Jia'ao only grew dry land crops. They had never heard of rice as a crop. They couldn't even find it in the grain stores in the city, and they didn't know how to grow it at all.
"I don't know whether rice is easy to grow. No one in our village knows how to do it. I asked the other three villages for advice, but no one is willing to teach us." Huang Qiuyun was a little worried, fearing that he would miss the planting time next year and be hungry again.
"There's no need to worry about this. They don't want to teach. It's not that difficult for us to spend some money to hire someone to teach from elsewhere." Zhang Chunlan was quick-thinking and didn't think this matter was worth worrying about.
Song Qingqing, who was on the side, was drinking wild vegetable porridge and thought to herself, why bother with this? Give her the money and I’ll teach you how to do it!
However, she could only think about it in her heart. If she really jumped out to teach everyone how to grow rice, they would probably think that she was a wild ghost, right?
Hey, wild ghosts can't bend over, but ancestors can't bend over, right?
Song Qingqing's mind suddenly opened up, and she looked at Song Xixi furtively.
Song Xixi noticed her strange look in her eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"
Song Qingqing felt guilty and shook her head hurriedly: "It's nothing. I just see that your face looks better today, so I feel relieved."
Song Xixi saw that she didn't tell the truth and didn't want to get to the bottom of it, so she just stuffed a toffee into her hand.
Song Qingqing smiled, gulped down the wild vegetable porridge in the bowl, and quickly stuffed the toffee into her mouth: "Thank you, little sister."
I don’t know where my ancestor got the milk candies, but they were more delicious than all the candies she had eaten in her previous life.
No, it was because all the food brought out by her ancestors were much more delicious than what she had eaten in her previous life, and they were the likes of which she had never seen before.
It seems that people are treated differently after death. After she died in her previous life, she had no memory after death, let alone being able to give out so many good things like her ancestors!
If the gap between humans is greater than that between humans and wild boars, isn’t the gap between ghosts also the same?
Song Xixi didn't know that a toffee would give Song Qingqing so many weird ideas, and she would even target her "ancestor".
It wasn't until later that her old ancestor had just "goed offline" and a "new ancestor" appeared on Song Qingqing's side. She was so shocked that she thought Song Qingqing had seen through her little trick.
Until later, Song Qingqing used the "new ancestor" to cause a series of things. She had to admire Song Qingqing's imagination and courage, making her, a person who had also lived two lives, feel ashamed!
