I loaded the farm game

“Catch the hare!!!”

After hearing these three words, Chen Guodong's depressed state was instantly wiped away. His mood became high, and his eyes were shining as he looked at Lin Zhou.

"Where is it? Brother, where can I catch it? How can I catch it?"

Seeing his excited expression, Lin Zhou smiled and explained to him: "It's over there. When I came here before, I saw some holes with bare mouths over there. They might be the nests of animals like hares!"

Of course, Lin Zhou didn't just judge that it was a hare based on the smoothness of the hole.

Mainly because when they came up the mountain before, they saw some gray figures passing through the weeds all over the mountains and plains in this area.

However, he didn't bring rhubarb to the door at that time, so it was quite troublesome to rely on people alone to hunt down the hare.

So I let it go.

Furthermore, when he was a child, the dogs at home also killed hares and brought them back. There used to be a lot of these things in their ravines.

In addition, nowadays, there are fewer people farming, and the landscape is returning to the "primitive" state.

Therefore, the living environment of these species is also getting better.

Lin Zhou said it was a rabbit hole, but he was still certain.

"How are we going to catch him? Are we going to open the rabbit hole and go straight to the dragon? Or are we going to put some food outside the rabbit hole and set up a trap to lure him out?"

On the way, Chen Guodong also asked Lin Zhou about the method.

In his heart, he prefers the latter. After all, digging a rabbit hole is not that simple, and it can also easily affect the topography.

But by setting traps, they may not be able to catch rabbits for a while, because there is usually a cycle in this method.

This is probably the time when rabbits come out to look for food. Only at this time will the trap be effective, otherwise the rabbit will not come out of the hole at all.

So, it’s not up to them that the trap works, it depends on when the rabbit comes out to feed.

In addition, they cannot stay here all the time. In that case, with two big men guarding the door, the rabbit will not come out at all!

Sure enough, the next moment he heard Lin Zhou say: "Brother Chen, digging a rabbit hole is not very realistic."

"That's a trap? So, we won't see any gains today?" Chen Guodong replied anxiously, with a hint of disappointment in his tone.

However, after listening to his words, Lin Zhou smiled slightly: "Brother Chen, besides setting up traps, we have other methods. If there is something in the hole, we should be able to see the rabbit today without any accident!"

"Alas!"

Hearing this, Chen Guodong was immediately surprised: "Brother, what method are you talking about? Can we get the goods today?"

"Smoke!" Lin Zhou didn't seduce him and directly said his own method.

Catching rabbits using smoked rabbit holes is a widely circulated method here.

In the past, when Lin Zhou and the others were young, they liked to use this method to play. They found holes in the mountains and fields, then lit a bunch of weeds and stuffed them into them to create smoke. They also fanned into the holes to make the smoke flow into the holes. Walk.

At that time, they didn’t know what kind of hole had a rabbit or not, so they just played!

Just like in the past winter, I always liked to go to the field with a lighter to burn weeds.

Because in winter, the weeds on the backside of the fields die and become particularly flammable, basically burning them one by one!

This provides a good natural condition for them to play with fire!

"Smoky?" After hearing these two words, Chen Guodong's mind naturally conjured up corresponding pictures.

Hole, smoke, these two words are linked together.

Almost instantly, he knew the beauty and feasibility of this method.

"Good guy! Such a great idea, why didn't I think of it just now!"

Chen Guodong patted his forehead and couldn't help but sigh.

You know, most animals in this world should not be able to withstand the harm of smoke!

And smoke can penetrate well into all parts of cave-dwelling animals like rabbit holes, leaving them with nowhere to hide.

If you want to escape, you can only run outside.

"You have such a brain, and you think about going camping in the mountains with nothing all day long. When I see you, I'm afraid you won't even be able to get food!" Jiang Weiwei couldn't help but say something to him.

During this period, Chen Guodong probably became interested after seeing videos of wild survival taken by others on the Internet. He told her many times that he wanted to try it.

She couldn't help but feel a headache from it.

Now, take this opportunity to wake him up.

"Cough cough!"

"This is different, this is different!" Chen Guodong blushed and waved his hands.

Immediately afterwards, he asked Lin Zhou: "Brother, are you interested? Just go out to the wild, drink clear dew in the morning, eat delicacies from the mountains in the evening, and live in the quiet nature with wild cranes. That feeling must be great. !”

"Brother Chen! Don't think too wonderfully. There are many mountain treasures now, which are precious protected animals and plants."

Seeing how interested he was, Lin Zhou shook his head.

"Maybe it's not difficult to find something to eat, but it's difficult to eat well and enjoy it!"

Even professionals with wilderness survival skills who participate in those survival challenge missions have not agreed on food and drink. They focus on filling their stomachs and surviving.

If you eat well, then there is almost nothing.

Don't look at some things, they say they are delicious, but I am afraid only they know the real taste.

"Uh-what about bringing everything by yourself to go camping?" Chen Guodong actually knew that, but he mainly wanted to experience that feeling.

"This is okay!"

"We organized it once in the mountains before, and it felt pretty good!"

"But the time cannot be too long. If it is too long, it will still affect the experience." Lin Zhou explained.

"Well, I know this. The novelty doesn't last long." Chen Guodong nodded: "Brother, will you still go next year? If you want to go, can you call me?"

"I'm not sure yet. If I want to go, it will be no problem." Lin Zhou replied, and then asked curiously:

"Brother Chen, why are you so interested in this? You should have participated in similar activities before!"

"Cough cough!"

"The places I went to before were more formal and lacked real experience." As soon as Chen Guodong finished explaining, Jiang Weiwei next to him shook his head:

"Lin Zhou, you don't know. He has been sitting in the office for a long time during this period and wants to go out for some exciting experiences."

"Honey, you have wronged me." Chen Guodong defended and looked at Lin Zhou to change the subject: "Brother, how far is the rabbit hole from here?"

"Just ahead!" Lin Zhou pointed forward in coordination with him.

"Is it so close? Then let's go faster!"

After saying that, Chen Guodong took the lead and walked over.

When Lin Zhou and the others saw this, they all smiled and followed.

Soon, they arrived at the destination of their trip - a former orchard.

This orchard does not grow any expensive fruits, just tangerines, which are common in their rural areas.

Moreover, the terrain of this orchard is different from the strawberry orchards and orange orchards around the city. It is not a flat orchard, but on a gentle slope.

In the past, tangerine trees were planted in some soiled areas on the slopes.

Next to the orange tree, you can usually see jagged rocks not far away. Some of them have been transformed into stone walls through man-made transformation, while others exist naturally.

The layout of the orange trees is also irregular, with trees scattered here and there.

The roads inside are naturally bumpy and bumpy, with a slope here and a bump there.

It is probably because of this bad environment that there are hares making nests here.

After all, the terrain here is relatively low-lying, at the bottom of the hillside, and the rock crevices in the woods are a better hiding place.

Also, this is a relatively deserted mountain valley area, so not only hares, but also pheasants in the past also like to build their nests in the grass cages on the cliffs nearby.

I heard from the elders in their village that there used to be small wild boars here!

So much so that even the place name here has the character for pig.

However, the time period after they were born in Linzhou is probably gone.

Creatures like hares and pheasants can still be seen from time to time.

When I was a child, the person who contracted this place was a doctor from their village. He was a kind man and didn't mind children like them coming to play in the orchard.

Whenever the oranges are ripe, the adults in the village will come to the garden to pick the oranges, then weigh them and buy them back.

Generally, everyone will taste the oranges from the tree that are sweeter first, and then pick the big, beautiful oranges from the tree.

The tangerines in the tangerine garden are roughly divided into two types, one is thick-skinned tangerines and the other is thin-skinned tangerines.

At that time, they also called thin-skinned tangerines seedless tangerines, which meant they had no core.

This kind of tangerine is more popular among children.

Because it is easy to peel, it tastes seedless and sweet.

As for thick-skinned oranges, there are navel oranges and ordinary thick-skinned oranges.

Navel oranges are called navel oranges because when the oranges grow up, their buttocks will mostly grow into the shape of a belly button.

Ordinary thick-skinned mandarin oranges have no special characteristics. They have thick skin and seeds. They are not as sweet as navel oranges, so they are considered the least popular.

But the advantage is that the price is the cheapest and some people buy it.

However, among ordinary thick-skinned tangerines, there is another kind of existence, and that is - blood tangerines!

Blood tangerine, as the name suggests, is an tangerine with blood.

Of course, the "bloody" here is not real blood, but just a description, referring to the pulp inside the orange, which is as red as blood.

This kind of blood orange may have a slightly red flesh, or there may be a lot of them, or there may be a large area or even all of the flesh is red.

Generally speaking, the more "blood" in a blood orange, the sweeter it is!

Therefore, blood oranges are relatively special among thick-skinned oranges. Lin Zhou and the others also liked to eat them when they were children.

If you ask about ordinary thick-skinned tangerines, they won't even look at it, but if you say it's a blood tangerine, they will eat one or two pieces no matter what.

As for the origin of blood oranges, there is a legend here in Linzhou that they need to water the orange trees with blood. Fresh pig blood and chicken blood are poured under the orange trees, and then blood oranges may grow.

He had heard this rumor before, and even thought about pouring bloody water on his orange tree.

But in the end it didn't happen.

After all, they kill chickens and pigs here to eat the blood!

In the process of eating blood oranges, they also tried to summarize what kind of thick-skinned oranges they were, most likely blood oranges.

For this reason, some conclusions were also drawn, such as those that looked ugly and had black or brown patches on the epidermis.

Of course, these conclusions are not 100% accurate, but in general, there are still some merits.

To a certain extent, the selection rate of blood oranges has improved.

"Brother!"

"Did anyone take care of this place before? I see that there are many human traces on these slopes."

Chen Guodong, who arrived earlier than them, also noticed something strange.

"Well, this used to be an orange garden, and all the orange trees were planted!" Lin Zhou nodded and said.

"But since the contracted doctor in our village passed away, no one has taken care of it. All the trees inside have been cut down and replaced with other trees!"

"Doctor? Is he that kind of old Chinese medicine doctor?" Chen Guodong's eyes revealed a hint of gossip.

But there are rumors and deeds that he heard from somewhere. Some of the old Chinese medicine doctors in Murakami are very powerful.

"No, the doctor in our village is not old!" Lin Zhou looked at his expression with a smile.

Sure enough, when he heard this, the expectation in Chen Guodong's eyes disappeared.

Seeing this, Lin Zhou's eyes flashed and he continued:

"But I heard from my mother that the doctor in the past had the ability to make the sky thunder by pushing his hand towards the sky!"

"I'll go! Such a great comparison! Is it true?!!"

Chen Guodong suddenly became excited.

Not only him, but also Jiang Weiwei and Cheng Yue next to them opened their eyes wide and looked straight at Lin Zhou.

Otherwise, this kind of rural anecdotes can really arouse people's curiosity.

"I do not know either!"

"You have to go back and ask my mother about this. She may know more details. I'll just listen to her!" Lin Zhou shook his head and gave a negative reply.

Naturally, he didn't believe it at the time, so he didn't ask any more questions.

The doctor died young, and the marriage was not perfect.

Lin Zhou only remembered that before he died, the doctor had a hand that was shaking all the time. He didn't know what the disease was before.

It wasn't until I grew up that I realized that it was what we now call Parkinson's disease.

"Is that so?" Cheng Guodong nodded with understanding.

When he heard Lin Zhou say that just now, he immediately thought of thunder in the palm and the Five Thunder Method...

All I can say is that it is similar to the martial arts dream that every boy has in his heart, except that this is a fairy tale.

"Brother Chen!"

"Actually, in our village, there are still descendants who draw water charms and paint cockscomb blood." When Lin Zhou mentioned this, he couldn't help but think of related things.

"Huh?" Chen Guodong's eyes widened again.

However, just when he wanted to ask further questions, Lin Zhou stopped abruptly:

"We'll talk about this later when we have time. For now, let's seize the time and find a rabbit hole to smoke rabbits!"

"..." Chen Guodong's eyes instantly turned resentful.
