Desert Island Survival: I took my concubine and raised wolf cubs

Chapter 35 Catching the Hare

"Crack~Crack~"

The group of people walked toward the mountains through the dead leaves and branches that had accumulated over the years. From time to time, birds flew up to the trees, making a loud chirping sound.

Whether it was an illusion or something, Wen Xian always felt that the previous wolf pack had left this deep mountain.Because she hadn't heard a wolf howling recently.

However, there are no wolves and there are wild boars.Wild boars are ferocious and powerful, and their lethality is no less than that of wild wolves.

Wen Xian looked around, always alert to the arrival of wild boars. From time to time she said, "Be careful. If you find anything wrong, plant a tree immediately."

For them now, climbing up a tree is the relatively safest option.

Of course, trees are not necessarily the safest.You may also encounter snakes, or branches may break.

Wen Xian didn't tell them this, because she was worried that they would panic in the tree.

Hearing her reminder, other people's hearts began to hang.

They looked around as they walked, moving gently and trying not to make any noise.

After a moment, Fang Jiaren suddenly pointed to somewhere, his eyes bright and said: "Hey, there, there is a knotweed there."

Commonly known as pen tube grass, this is one of the grasses that rabbits like to eat.

Wen Xian followed Fang Jiaren's footsteps and moved over, peeling away the grass, and sure enough, she found a carrot next to it.

A little excitement flashed in her eyes, and she whispered: "There must be a rabbit nest near here. Let's spread out and look for the rabbit hole."

Rabbits don't eat grass near their nests. These knotty grasses and carrots may be the rabbit's granary for themselves.

Fang Jiaren and others blurted out: "Yes~"

This didn't change for a while, and she still thought Wen Xian was the Queen Mother and was giving orders.

A few people looked at each other awkwardly, then dispersed as if nothing had happened and started looking for rabbit holes.

The rabbit knows how to dig holes, and its nest and all its belongings are in the holes.

Of course, finding the hole is the first step. Next, you have to guard a few hole entrances, light a fire at two of them, and use smoke to smoke out the rabbit.

The smoked rabbit is not so easy to catch. It also requires people's reaction and agility of action.

Wen Xian was pulling at the grass with a stick in her hand. She opened her eyes wide and searched for the rabbit hole without missing any corner.

Huangtian paid off and finally found a rabbit hole a quarter of an hour later.

The hole she found was very hidden, and it was actually a hole made based on tree roots.

In other words, the hole is right under the root of the tree.This hole was probably the rabbit's base camp. She could also see the knotweed scattered at the entrance of the hole.

She quickly placed the straw basket at the entrance of the hole to block it, then turned around and waved to the others, whispering: "I have a hole here, how about you over there?"

"Me, me, me," Jiang Lingling raised her hands excitedly and said, "I also have a hole here."

The other straw basket is at Wu Junlan's place, and she has no tools to plug the hole.

In order to end the contract and not miss a rabbit, she simply sat down and used her body to cover the hole.

In addition to these two holes, if nothing else happens, there should be a last hole.

Wu Junlan, Hu Keren and Fang Jiaren looked at each other and speeded up to see who could find the last hole first.

"Ah~" After a while, Fang Jiaren screamed and immediately covered her mouth.She gestured towards her feet in fear and surprise. It turned out that she missed the mark and fell into the rabbit hole by chance.

Wen Xian breathed a sigh of relief, took back her stepped foot, and continued to guard the hole she had found.

After seeing Wu Junlan and Hu Keer helping to pull out Fang Jiaren's feet, she said softly: "Now start drilling wood to make fire. After the fire is burned, someone will guard the hole here with me."

Rabbits also have their own thoughts. They have to run to places where there is no smoke, so as not to fall into a trap and run to places where there is a lot of smoke.

Therefore, most of the rabbits will most likely run away from her.It's not enough for her alone, she needs helpers.

Fortunately, she brought tools for drilling wood to make fire when she came out. Wu Junlan had experience and was already squatting on the ground and starting to drill wood to make fire.

When the fire started, Wu Junlan lit the torches prepared in advance and handed them to Jiang Lingling and Fang Jiaren to burn into the cave.

After doing this, Wu Junlan consciously took another straw basket to the entrance of the cave where Wen Xian was guarding.

Wu Junlan believes that her physical fitness is good in all aspects and will not hold Wen Xian back.

The other three people had no objection. Jiang Lingling even took the initiative to drive Hu Keer to Fang Jiaren to help, while she guarded a cave by herself.

As for Wen Xian, any one of them can come, she is still here after all.

The hares in this mountain have probably not experienced any hardships. Not long after the fire started, they started running out of the cave.

As Wen Xian expected, most of them ran towards the smokeless cave entrance on her side.

Soon after, she saw the figure of the hare rushing into the straw basket. Wen Xian directly held the straw basket into her arms with one hand, and grabbed the leg of the other hare with the other hand.

Wu Junlan next to her was not to be outdone, and also reached out to catch another rabbit that was trying to escape.

The big rabbit in the basket, plus the small rabbits in Wen Xian's hands and Wu Junlan's hands, and the three rabbits that ran out of the hole here were all caught by the two of them.

Fang Jiaren and Hu Keer caught a big rabbit, but no rabbit escaped from Jiang Lingling's side.

In this round, a total of four rabbits were caught, two large and two small.Although it was less than expected, it was enough for two meals.

Jiang Lingling rubbed the torch into the soil and put out the fire.Then she ran over, took the little rabbit from Wen Xian's hand and said excitedly: "What a cute little white rabbit, I want to raise it."

"Raise." Wen Xian nodded, "Eat the two big rabbits and raise the two little rabbits."

She continued: "However, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time. Let's collect some knotweed and carrots and go back to the cave first."

Their commotion will certainly disturb other animals.The goal of catching hares left and right has been achieved, so it is better to go back first.

There are many wild grasses that rabbits can eat. Pick some here first, and search for others near the cave.

A few people nodded, hurriedly dug up a pile of tuna and carrots, and hurriedly followed Wen Xian to the cave.

With experience in raising pheasants, Xia Zhi and others had already twisted some ropes in advance to make it easier to tie rabbits.

Wen Xian's eyelids twitched slightly, and then she said: "The rabbit is no better than the pheasant, so we still have to give it a fenced area to prevent it from biting off the rope and escaping."

She glanced at the cave and focused her eyes on the big stone at the entrance.

She pointed to the corner formed by the stones and the cave wall and said: "Let's build the rabbit's nest here, and tie it with ropes for the time being. Later, we will pick up some stones and dig out some soil, and then set up the outside to form a Triangular nest.”

Even if a rabbit can dig a hole, it can't break through a rock.

As for the cave, Wen Xian wished that the rabbit would dig more holes in it, so that it would be easier to store things.
