Chapter 26 Catching Bamboo Rat

When the sky was slightly bright, Guixiang got up early and called Wei Shengyu to go out.

Aunt Ah Shan prepared a pot of cucumber soup and fifteen steamed buns.The two went to catch bamboo rats in the bamboo forest, and they didn't know when they would come back.It's good to prepare more food.

Wang Guixiang carried a hatchet and a basket.

Wei Shengyu holds a bow and arrow.

Wang Guixiang frowned.

"Bows and arrows are useless, you take a pickaxe, a shovel, and a flint."

Wei Shengyu asked with a smile.

"You also use this method? I thought you caught it with bare hands. Every time you catch it without tools. I'm still learning."

Wang Guixiang looked at Wei Shengyu with disgust.

"You can not."

Wei Shengyu was so blocked that he didn't know what to say.

The future daughter-in-law says she can't do it?

Ha ha
What Wang Guixiang said was the truth.

Each individual has his own way of catching bamboo rats.For example, a man like Wei Shengyu uses old methods.

Wang Guixiang didn't need such a tedious method, she just grabbed it with her hands, one by one.It's never been faster.The premise is to have the physical fitness of Guixiang.Without such a strong response ability, it is useless.

The most commonly used methods are knocking holes to startle mice, digging holes to catch, stepping on crates to catch mice, fumigation and watering to catch.

With the flint, the method used is naturally the smoke capture method.

Wei Shengyu also knows this method, but he usually likes to do useless work.After smoking for a long time, the bamboo rat did not come out.Nine out of ten there are no bamboo rats.Wei Shengyu was still a little discouraged.

The two arrived in the bamboo forest and began to look for bamboo rat holes.

Wang Guixiang said softly.

"The roots of a small area of ​​dead bamboo forest or thatched grass are likely to be the nest of the bamboo rat. The bamboo rat's claws are sharp, and it will leave a smooth path wherever it climbs, so we can follow this path to find bamboo. The hole in the rat's den. It's just ahead!"

Wei Shengyu, who was like a headless chicken, heard this.run fast!
The hole opened, and Wei Shengyu laughed.

"What shall we do now?"

Guixiang pointed to the depths of the bamboo forest.

"Continue to go."

"what?"

Cinnamon explained.

"The entrance of the cave is wide open, which means that the bamboo rat is not there. There is a lot of fresh soil and rat droppings at the entrance of the cave, which means that there is a bamboo rat. Let's go, keep looking."

Wei Shengyu's eyes lit up.

"Has your family ever hunted before? You know so much."

Guixiang paused.

"If you have nothing to eat, you always have to find a way. Along the way, you can learn while watching. Learn a lot."

What Guixiang said was ambiguous, and she didn't explain clearly, how did she know.

"There is a bamboo rat hole here!"

Guixiang rubbed her nose and glanced at the excited Wei Shengyu.

"We smoked it with fire, and the bamboo rats couldn't bear it and came out."

Wei Shengyu nodded.

Start digging at the hole.

Guixiang shook her head, seeing Wei Shengyu's movements as a novice.Or work neatly by yourself.Immediately cut off a section of bamboo and hollowed out the middle of the bamboo.Pick up some hay.

"I come."

Wei Shengyu looked at Wang Guixiang's actions, and didn't feel depressed at all, and studied with a studious attitude.

"what do I need to do?"

Guixiang squatted down and poured one side of the bamboo tube into the bamboo mouse hole.Then at the other end, put in the hay.

"Light the fire, don't burn it. Just smoke it. Do you understand?"

Wei Shengyu's eyes were shining brightly, he didn't expect this move.

"Hey, I see."

Guixiang searched around again and blocked all the bamboo rat holes.Otherwise, it will be useless to wait.

Wei Shengyu stared at the bamboo tube with good eyes.

After about 10 minutes, an adult bamboo rat ran out.

Guixiang picked up the bamboo rat to look at its belly.

male!

"Today is a good start, not bad. There is a drawback to this method. If the rest of the hole is not sealed, all previous efforts will be wasted."
