Siheyuan: A Very Happy Era

Chapter 99 Lone Wolf
"Woof~ woof woof~"

Soon, Dahuang dived into the bushes and let out an excited cry.

Li Guoqiang ran forward, stretched out his hand to push aside the bushes and looked inside. He soon found a large yellow-brown rabbit struggling under Dahuang's feet with a thin hemp rope wrapped around its neck.

It looks like it has just been trapped.

Therefore, Li Guoqiang did not dare to waste time. He reached in hurriedly and grabbed the rabbit's two ears very accurately, and then slowly untied the thin hemp rope tied to the bushes.

At the same time, ten rabbits that looked different suddenly appeared in the storage space.

When he stood up and picked up the rabbit, Luo Weixiong, Pan Qiaoyan and Shen Fengxia just ran up to him. Then they looked at the fat rabbit with wide eyes and kicking around, and were stunned for a moment.

What's wrong?

Did you catch the rabbit?
Is it that easy?

Before they could come to their senses, Li Guoqiang had tied up the rabbit very skillfully, then held it in his hand and weighed it slightly, a look of satisfaction appearing on his face.

"Not bad!"

"As the saying goes, it's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive at the right time. We are lucky to have arrived at the right time this time."

Luo Weixiong came back to his senses after hearing this, and then looked at the big rabbit in Li Guoqiang's hand, and immediately couldn't help but suggest: "Brother Qiang, I think you should just go into the mountains to hunt rabbits in the future!"

"Just think about it! This big rabbit is worth at least five or six yuan. If we can catch one every day, we can earn 150 or 160 yuan a month, which is equivalent to more than three years' work points of our production team."

After saying this, a look of longing appeared on his face, and he wished he could learn Li Guoqiang's skill of catching rabbits immediately.

When Pan Qiaoyan and Shen Fengxia heard what Luo Weixiong said, they were instantly stunned by the exaggerated profits.

You have to know that these days agricultural and sideline product purchasing stations will clearly mark the price for buying prey. They are not afraid of you catching a lot of prey, but they are afraid that you don’t have the ability to catch the prey.

Moreover, villagers can choose to do side jobs and then use the money to buy work points from the production team.

If Li Guoqiang could really catch a rabbit every day, he could become a full-time hunter.

Little did people know that the reason why Li Guoqiang was able to catch the rabbit was mainly because of the help of Dahuang, an experienced hunting dog, and a little bit of luck.

If hunting rabbits were really that easy, the other villagers would have become full-time hunters long ago.

What's more, the prey in each place is limited. Even if Li Guoqiang can improve his hunting skills to a higher level in the future, it is impossible to catch prey every day.

In addition, everything has to be done in moderation. It’s okay to live a slightly better life, but if you live too well, then you are simply asking for trouble.

Therefore, after seeing the reactions of Luo Weixiong, Pan Qiaoyan and Shen Fengxia, Li Guoqiang immediately waved his hands and explained: "Look at what you said, this matter is not as easy as you said!"

"I just happened to arrive in time. If I had come a few minutes later, the rabbit would have already run away."

Hearing this, Luo Weixiong, Pan Qiaoyan and Shen Fengxia looked at the rabbit that had been tied up, with a look of doubt on their faces.

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang did not explain any more and turned around and walked towards another place where the trap was set.

He knew that some things, no matter how much he said, would not be as convincing as letting them see it with their own eyes.

Soon, he led Luo Weixiong, Pan Qiaoyan and Shen Fengxia to their destination, and pointed at the empty noose in the bushes as if nothing had happened, and said softly, "See, I told you it's not that easy to catch rabbits!" "I spent the whole afternoon searching yesterday, and only found two rabbit trails and set two traps. If I had come a little later today and let the rabbit run away, it would have been a waste of time."

"So, when it comes to hunting rabbits in the mountains, besides knowing how to find rabbit paths and set traps, the most important thing is luck."

"Sometimes you're unlucky and you can go ten days or half a month without catching a single rabbit. It's not impossible."

"If it's so easy to hunt rabbits in the mountains, then why don't the uncles and brothers in our village go into the mountains to hunt rabbits every day?"

After hearing these words and looking at the empty noose, Luo Weixiong, Pan Qiaoyan and Shen Fengxia realized that going into the mountains to hunt rabbits was not as easy as they had thought, and a look of disappointment appeared on their faces.

Li Guoqiang was slightly pleased to see this, and then he quickly struck while the iron was hot and carefully taught them how to identify rabbit trails and how to set traps.

When they had basically understood it, he led them to collect firewood and search for rabbit trails.

Before long, they had collected more than 100 kilograms of firewood, but did not find any trace of the rabbit.

This also made them realize how difficult it is to go into the mountains to hunt rabbits.

"Woo~wuwu~"

Just when they were about to back down, Dahuang's hair suddenly stood up, his fangs bared, and he roared at a bush not far away.

Luo Weixiong was slightly stunned when he saw this, and then suddenly asked with some surprise: "Brother Qiang, did Da Huang find the rabbit?"

Hearing this, Pan Qiaoyan and Shen Fengxia couldn't help but feel refreshed, and then they wanted to step forward and check it out anxiously.

"do not move!"

When Li Guoqiang saw what Pan Qiaoyan and Shen Fengxia were doing, his heart tightened and he hurriedly shouted at them to stop them.

After saying that, he quickly stepped forward, blocking Luo Weixiong, Pan Qiaoyan and Shen Fengxia behind him, and stood together with Da Huang, looking at the bushes with a serious expression.

Then, a gray-black lone wolf slowly limped out from the bushes, its body covered with dark red blood.

In particular, there is a hideous and terrifying scar from its forehead to the bridge of its nose. Combined with its cold eyes, it looks chilling.

"Wolf, there are wolves!"

Soon, Pan Qiaoyan's eyes widened and then she let out a scream.

Although Shen Fengxia and Luo Weixiong did not say anything, their expressions suddenly became very panicked.

"Don't panic!"

Li Guoqiang noticed their panic and shouted in a deep voice: "I have carefully looked around just now, and I can basically confirm that this should be just a lone wolf. Let Da Huang stay here to watch it, and we will face it and slowly retreat. Don't be impatient. Do you understand?"

"understand!"

When Luo Weixiong, Pan Qiaoyan and Shen Fengxia heard Li Guoqiang say that it was just a lone wolf, they felt a little relieved, and then nodded quickly and answered.

Then, they moved slowly backwards step by step, following Li Guoqiang's rhythm.
