I loaded the farm game

At this moment, even Jiang Weiwei and Cheng Yue could not help but feel a hint of resentment in their eyes when they looked at Lin Zhou.

Forget about the "Thunder in the Palm" just now, although it was only the beginning, it was really a bit beyond the truth!

Therefore, they did not get a specific description, and they did not have much concern in their hearts.

But the latter painting of water talisman, dotted with chicken comb blood, is closer to reality.

Moreover, this kind of folkloric thing is undoubtedly more attractive.

Furthermore, Lin Zhou also said that there are still "descendants" in their village.

There are living examples, it would be strange if they are not curious.

But it happened that at this moment, Lin Zhou feinted and intercepted the attack.

This naturally made their curious and gossipy hearts hang in mid-air, unable to move up or down, which was extremely uncomfortable!

"Brother, it's a pity that you don't want to write novels!" Chen Guodong muttered in a faint tone.

However, he did not force Lin Zhou to continue talking, but devoted himself to the work of fumigating rabbit holes and catching rabbits.

After all, he is actually very motivated in this work.

Soon, they found the smooth cave Lin Zhou mentioned in the cracks of the rocks.

This is probably because this woodland is not often visited by people. Except for the smooth entrance of the cave, there are faint traces of something moving around in the withered grass cage.

Even Chen Guodong and the others can see it clearly.

This discovery greatly increased their confidence.

Looking at the entrance of the rabbit hole, I wanted to start immediately and cut open the inside to see how many rabbits there were and what they looked like? Fat or not?

"Brother!"

"How to smoke it? Just get these dead grass?"

Chen Guodong rubbed his hands and asked him for advice.

"We are going to use these grasses for fumigation, but before fumigation, we have to make some preparations." Lin Zhou said with a smile.

"Preparation? What preparation?"

"We have to find out if there are any other cave exits nearby, Cunning Rabbit Three Cave, this is not a joke."

"These rabbits usually don't leave just one exit!"

"When we find these other exits, we will block them. There are only two left. One is for smoking at the entrance of the hole, and the other is for waiting for the rabbit to come out and catch the rabbit!"

After Lin Zhou finished explaining, Chen Guodong and the others understood instantly, and they began to look for other suspicious cave entrances along the vicinity of this cave entrance.

Soon, as they searched, they blocked all possible escape holes for this nest of rabbits with stones, leaving only two.

Then, Lin Zhou smoked smoke at the entrance of the original cave, while Chen Guodong and others stood guard at the entrance of the other cave, preparing to catch rabbits.

Of course, to be on the safe side, Lin Zhou also transferred rhubarb to them.

In this way, even if they can't catch them, Rhubarb can still check for leaks and fill in the gaps!

When everything was ready, Lin Zhou lit the dead grass and covered it with the freshly collected or moist weeds to create thick smoke.

Then, the wind started blowing again, blowing the thick smoke deep into the cave.

As this work progressed, billowing smoke continued to be sent into the cave, and white smoke began to emit from the cave entrances they had previously found and blocked.

The entrance to the cave that Chen Guodong and the others were guarding was no exception. Although the risk was less, it was starting to happen.

Seeing this, the three of them and the dog stared at the entrance of the cave with their eyes wide open, not daring to relax for a moment.

When I couldn't hold on and tried to blink, I blinked quickly and immediately opened my eyes wide, for fear that I might miss the scene of the rabbit emerging from the hole due to an oversight.

At the same time, he kept his breathing to a minimum and tried not to make any noise, fearing that the rabbit inside would hear it and dare not come out.

Finally, when they were about to look away, the rabbit came out!

A gray-brown rabbit with two erect ears jumped out of the hole.

Chen Guodong and the others, who were waiting carefully, were stunned for a moment and then reached out to catch the rabbit.

However, their reaction was obviously a bit slower. In addition, this rabbit probably hadn't been smoked for long and was not dizzy at all. His agile movements didn't seem to be affected much, and he escaped from them with a "swish". The range of "Devil's Claw" is heading straight towards the withered grass in front.

Just when it was about to escape, Dahuang was like a magic weapon descending from the sky. He quickly and accurately hung it by the neck and arrested it!

“Nice rhubarb!”

“Rhubarb is so awesome!”

"Dahuang is so smart, much better than my silly dog!"

When Chen Guodong and the three of them saw this scene, their originally depressed mood suddenly became high again, and they all praised him.

Looking at the hare in Rhubarb's mouth, his face was full of joy and excitement.

After all, this hare almost escaped from under their hands!

"Brother Chen!"

"Hurry up and get someone to tie up the hare. The rest of you will continue to look at the entrance of the hole. There might be something else in the hole!"

At this time, Lin Zhou saw that they had completely ignored the cave entrance and were all staring at the rhubarb and the hare, and he also reminded them loudly.

"Oh, right!" Chen Guodong was awakened by his words and immediately turned his gaze back to the entrance of the cave.

"I'll just keep watching!"

"Wife, you and Xiaoyue go and tie the rabbit in Dahuang's mouth and free it. Dahuang is our main force!"

When Jiang Weiwei and Cheng Yue heard this, they suddenly realized that it made sense. They hurriedly walked over and removed the rabbit from Rhubarb's mouth. One of them held the rabbit ears, and the other started to tie the legs with thread.

As for Dahuang, he continued to stay with Chen Guodong.

Sure enough, just as Lin Zhou said, after a while, another brown rabbit came out of the cave.

However, the movements of this rabbit were much slower than the previous one, so the moment it exited the hole, Chen Guodong, who had been waiting for a long time, grabbed his ears and picked him up.

"Caught!"

Chen Guodong looked at the rabbit in his hand and burst out laughing. He showed it to Lin Zhou impromptu and cheerfully:

"Brother, there really is one, I caught another one! I caught it with my own hands!"

Seeing the bright smile on his face, Lin Zhou also gave him a thumbs up.

"Wife!"

"Look, I caught the hare with my own hands!" After Chen Guodong told Lin Zhou, he showed off to Jiang Weiwei with a big smile.

"..." Jiang Weiwei couldn't help but roll her eyes at the behavior of the silly son of a landlord.

"Hey hey hey!"

Her roll of eyes did not affect Chen Guodong's interest at all. He held the rabbit and looked back and forth, laughing happily and wisely.

At this moment, he particularly enjoyed the sense of reward from catching it with his own hands!

It's like being a hunter for a time!

"..." At this time, Jiang Weiwei, who came forward, couldn't help but pat him lightly and interrupted:

"Stop being so silly and have fun, quickly bring me the rabbit and keep guarding it!"

"Oh, right!" Chen Guodong responded as if he had just woken up from a dream, his reaction was exactly the same as before.

But in the next second, Lin Zhou spoke to them and said, "Brother Chen, we won't stop guarding this cave, and I won't blow the smoke here."

Hearing this, Chen Guodong subconsciously asked: "Why? Are there no rabbits in this hole?" "There is a high probability that there are no rabbits!"

"It's winter now, not the breeding season for rabbits, so there shouldn't be any baby rabbits in the hole."

"Also, in most cases, the baby rabbits born to rabbits will separate from the older rabbits when they grow older."

"So, there may be two big rabbits in one nest." Lin Zhou explained.

"Besides, even if there are still some inside, let's leave some seeds for them! Sustainable development is not!"

After hearing what he said, Chen Guodong and the others couldn't help but nod.

When they took out the eggs just now, they also left one in the nest.

"There should be more than one rabbit hole here. Let's look around and find another one!"

As Lin Zhou's words settled, they began to search the forest land again.

The result was just as Lin Zhou said, and a similar cave was soon found nearby.

This time, they were still the same as last time. They plugged the hole first, and then divided the work and worked together. They were responsible for fumigating and arresting at the same time.

However, the outcome of the matter was a bit beyond their expectations.

Because after a fire was started in Linzhou and the smoke was sent into the cave, after a while, the thing that came out of Chen Guodong's cave was not a hare!

"I go!"

"Brother, this time it's not a rabbit hole! It's a mouse hole! Such a fat mouse actually came out!"

Chen Guodong looked at his hands with lingering fear, and then looked at the mouse that was pressed by Dahuang under its paws, struggling constantly and making a "sssssssss" sound.

It's not that he's afraid of this thing, it's just that the thought of holding such a mouse in his hands feels unbearable, both physically and mentally!

Jiang Weiwei and Cheng Yue, who were next to them, even had their scalps numb and goosebumps on their arms.

After all, for most girls, mice are not really cute animals.

Especially a mouse like this, which looks fat and round, and grows in the wild.

When Lin Zhou heard what he said, his eyes moved slightly, he frowned and said hesitantly: "Brother Chen! This doesn't seem to be a mouse!"

"Not a mouse?!" Chen Guodong's eyes widened immediately, and he looked under the big yellow paw to confirm again whether what he saw was true.

Even Jiang Weiwei and Cheng Yue couldn't help but blink to confirm.

"Correct!"

"Brother Chen, this seems to be a field mouse!" Lin Zhou said again after confirming again.

"Uh--"

However, when Chen Guodong heard the word "vole", his head was confused: "Brother, aren't the vole and the mouse the same thing?"

The other two people also looked towards Lin Zhou with eyes eager for knowledge.

"no!"

"Brother Chen, Sister Weiwei, this field mouse and mouse are really not the same thing!" Lin Zhou shook his head with a smile.

In fact, he didn't know there was a difference between the two before. He once thought that voles were mice.

But later on, I realized that these two kinds of rats are not the same!

"In terms of their classification, voles are members of the family Hamsteridae, while mice are members of the rodent family Muridae!"

"The tail of a vole is usually shorter than that of a mouse, no more than half the body length, and its ears and eyes are also relatively small."

"In addition, it's hair. The hair of voles is generally longer and darker, while the body hair of mice is relatively shorter and lighter."

"Then there is the habitat environment. Rats mostly live in sewers, garbage dumps, toilets and other places, while voles mostly live in underground passages dug by them, or in gaps under fallen wood, tree roots, and rocks."

"Are these things so finely distinguished?" Chen Guodong was a little stunned.

Even after listening to Lin Zhou's "popular science", he had no idea.

The main reason is that he has never seen mice in his home or life, so he has no reference in his mind.

When you see a mouse on the internet, what impression can you make of it?

In his opinion, they are the same as field mice, there is no difference.

Of course, the same goes for Jiang Weiwei and Cheng Yue. They don't like to keep mice as pets.

"It's not subtle, but there are some differences anyway!"

"Well, Brother Chen, you can also understand that everyone eats voles and not mice! This is also a kind of distinction!"

"Uh-can this thing be eaten?"

"It's edible, and now some places regard it as a special delicacy! Moreover, the price of this thing is not cheap!"

"Isn't it cheap?" Chen Guodong looked at the field mouse and twitched the corner of his mouth.

"Correct!"

"Brother Chen, don't underestimate this field mouse. There is a saying here and in many places: one mouse is like three chickens!"

"One mouse can be compared to three chickens? Brother, do you mean that this one vole can be compared to three chickens?" Chen Guodong was really unimaginable that such a small mouse could be compared with three chickens.

"Brother Chen, this sentence mainly talks about nutritional value. It means that one vole is as nutritious as three chickens, not the price!" Lin Zhou explained with a smile.

"I go!"

"Is this really called - concentration is the essence?" Chen Guodong's eyes widened.

"Hahahaha!"

"Actually, some explanations I see are that voles live in farmland and they grow by eating rice, corn and other food crops, so rat meat is rich in protein and various minerals."

"Mouse meat is also low in fat and cholesterol. The meat is smoother and more tender than chicken. It is easy to digest and absorb!"

"But I don't know exactly what it is. I haven't tried it. I heard that people in our village eat it before!" Lin Zhou smiled refreshingly and shook his head slightly.

He remembered that when he was a child, there were adults in the village and young people who were older than them, going to catch this thing to eat.

As for the method of catching, it's quite simple. Just look for vole nests or easy-to-haunt places in rock ditches like this in the mountains and set traps.

The traps don't have many skills. They just need to make a relatively heavy stone slab or brick, put a supporting wood chip underneath, and then use food to link up with the wood chip, so that when the vole eats the food, the wood chip will move, thus making the trap move. The stone slab above collapsed, trapping the eating vole.

Of course, the probability of being caught this way is not very high.

Later, they began to add tools such as mouse traps.

In short, in order to eat the "delicious meat" in the mountains and fields, they worked hard and traveled all over the mountains and fields.

Maybe, there is also the taste of field mouse in it, it is indeed delicious in it!

Of course, you have to ask why you don't catch hares or pheasants.

The main reason is that here, resources like rabbits are not very abundant, and there are no rabbit holes all over the mountains and plains.

If there is, I'm afraid they won't be able to catch it.

As for pheasants, although there are more, most of them are in thatched cages on the cliffs. You can only see them flying and crowing. If you really want to catch them, it is basically impossible without tools.
