Happy Farm Ranch

Chapter 76 Scanning Ability
"It's still early, I'll take you to pick mushrooms first, and see if I can bring back some game." After packing up his things, Liang Dayong put his bow and crossbow on his back, and greeted them, "This is an old forest. There won't be any wild beasts, just let Dahui stay and watch the donkey, and let's take Heihu around."

Seeing that he was carrying a crossbow on his back, Su Mu asked in a daze, "Isn't hunting not allowed on the mountain? Let's take a look at the scenery and don't violate the regulations."

"It is said that hunting is not allowed, but it doesn't mean that it is not allowed to go up the mountain to pick food. I brought these crossbows for self-defense. There have been several groups of wild wolves and wild boars in the deep mountains and old forests these years. Accident. You will know if you follow me, I don’t hunt, I just pick something delicious.”

Liang Dayong smiled and patted the bag on his shoulder with a mysterious look.

Leaving Da Hui to guard the door, Xia Jin followed them with a wicker basket and prepared to pick mushrooms after a short rest.

In the deep forest, the position of the sun can only be discerned through the layers of dense leaves. Even so, Su Mu still loses his direction from time to time, and cannot tell the difference between east, west and north. Every tree and grass here is extremely familiar.

"Did you see that wild hawthorn tree in front? There are many red fruits hanging on it every autumn, and squirrels like to come and pick the fruits for the winter; the year before last, I saw two deer eating the red fruits."

Liang Dayong was familiar with everything in the mountains, and while telling them about the animals and plants in the area, he observed the nearby bushes for a while, then took out a round buckle made of thin wire from the bag, and fiddled with it. After a while, the bushes were restored to their original shape, and they continued to lead them into the depths of the forest.

"Squirrel, squirrel!" Xia Jin screamed just after taking a few steps!

A small squirrel jumped out of the barley, and then slid straight up to a big tree, hiding behind the branches and peeking at the uninvited guest in the big forest.

Xia Jin's mother adjusted the focus and quickly took a picture of this elf.

"Brother Su Mu, can I grab a pine tree and take it back as a pet? It looks so cute!" Xia Jin looked at the little squirrel on the tree eagerly, and was instantly turned into a bud by this little guy.

Staring at the pine tree on the top of the tree, Su Mu suddenly thought, can he transfer it to the cage of space with his mind?In that case, wouldn't domestication be much simpler.

Thinking this way in his heart, he replied: "It's also the first time I've seen a wild squirrel. I have to ask Uncle Dayong if I can catch it as a pet."

Liang Dayong has been running around in the mountains and forests all year round, and he has seen too many squirrels.

Hearing that this little girl wanted to catch one to raise, she was still wondering why the people in the city have such strange preferences?Isn't it just a squirrel, it looks like a mouse, how can it be cute?

But hearing Su Mu's question, he replied casually: "This thing can be caught, but it takes a lot of people to chase it away, and it can be caught when it is chased into the ambush circle. But the cub is hard to find , the older ones caught their breath too much, and they would die of anger within a few days, so it's better not to raise them."

"To death from anger?" Xia Jin's beautiful big eyes widened suddenly, looking at him curiously, and asked, "Why did you get mad from anger? Caught in a cage, offering delicious food and drink, isn't it happy?" ?”

Liang Dayong was at a loss for words, but he rubbed his hands after thinking for a while and explained: "Maybe it's because I'm used to being wild. For example, I'm just like you, how happy I am to live freely. If someone arrests you one day and locks you up Be a pet in the room, eat and drink for you, why don't you?"

"So that's how it is." Xia Jin suddenly understood, sighed a little helplessly, and said, "Wild squirrels like freedom so much, so it's better not to catch them."

After taking two steps forward, she still felt a bit reluctant to part with her. She turned her head and looked at the little squirrel on the treetop several times, until it slid and disappeared among the leaves before walking forward.

"Little girl, why don't you do this, when you come back during the winter vacation, I'll give you a domesticated little squirrel, okay?" Seeing that she was a little disappointed, Su Mu suggested.

Xia Jin's mother hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Muzi, don't spoil her. This girl has been spoiled by us. Last time I went abroad for a trip, I saw that the little raccoons raised by others were so fun, so I bought one for everything. I paid tens of thousands to buy an imported little raccoon, and she is still raising it at home. She usually has no time to take care of it at school. I am so busy at work that I have no time to raise it. A good little raccoon is languid all day long. .

It's enough for a small animal to be wronged, but don't get any squirrels for Xiao Jin, otherwise you will have to suffer and suffer with her! "

"Oh, mom!" After being exposed by her mother, Xia Jin's little face flushed immediately, she grabbed her mother's arm and shook it coquettishly, "It's just a little squirrel, if it doesn't work, I'll ask brother Su Mu to help I keep it. When we come to play in winter, I will be familiar with it, as long as I am admitted to university, I will have time to raise it!"

"Then wait until you are admitted to university." Xia Jin's mother didn't let go at all.

"Okay, okay, we'll talk about everything after going to college..." She pouted her mouth helplessly, but just as she turned around, she saw Su Mu looking at her with a smirk on his face, and then he stretched out the little finger of his right hand Come out to indicate the pull hook.

Xia Jin immediately understood what it meant, and hurriedly stepped forward to tickle Gou Sumu's little finger quietly.

Going further, until she reached the place where she picked up mushrooms, she never asked for a squirrel again.

What Liang Dayong found for them was a forest full of small gray mushrooms, and there was a pine forest not far away, and many pine mushrooms often grew under the pine trees.

After listening to the guide explain in detail how to identify wild mushrooms, Su Mu and Xia Jin began to pick up the most common small gray mushrooms in willow baskets, and occasionally went to the edge of pine trees to look for fat, tender and delicious pine mushrooms; Xia Jin's mother helped Liang Dayong to find wild black fungus on many dry trees.

"There are often dead trees like this in old forests, and it is possible to find fresh wild fungus on the shady branches. If you find the fungus, you can't eat it right away. You have to take it back and process it before drying it. Muzi said that he intends to let you When I left, I brought some mountain products, and I thought at least I had to bring fungus and mushrooms, so it was a trip to the mountains!"

While Liang Dayong was explaining, he looked around a dead tree.

After a while, he finally found that a branch in the shade was covered with fresh black fungus. It seemed that this time he was lucky and had a good harvest.

"Muzi, come here and give me a hand." Liang Dayong took out a thick rope from the bag, tied himself to the big tree, called Su Mu to help him hand him another thick rope, and then put a cloth sack Hang it around your neck, and use the friction between the thick rope and the big tree to climb up step by step.

"Damn it, it's too dangerous!" Seeing that he was using two thick ropes to climb to a branch four or five meters high, Su Mu immediately stopped him and said, "Uncle Dayong, we don't want these fungus Okay, this thing is climbing a tree with a rope!"

Liang Dayong climbed very easily, and even took the time to smile at him, "Haven't you seen it before? I think I met a five or six-meter-long beehive in the old forest, and I climbed more than ten meters just to cut honey." , This is where it is. Just look at it, I will come down in a while."

Su Mu was really worried. With his current ability, it would definitely not be a problem to transfer these fungus into the space and then take them out again.

But Liang Dayong had to climb up to pick fungus in such a dangerous way, if he fell down, it would be no joke!

He stared closely at Liang Dayong, who was climbing the tree nimbly, thinking that if the other party's hand slipped, he might be able to catch it from below, so as not to let him fall directly to the ground.

But after staring nervously for a while, Liang Dayong, who climbed the tree, did not make any mistakes, but Su Mu "discovered" something good on the dead tree!

This big tree had died a long time ago, when he focused on locking the trunk with his consciousness, he actually felt a tree hole in the dry trunk!But in the tree hole, there is a warm nest, in which there is a squirrel eating a big pine mushroom!
"It really doesn't take much effort. The little girl just said that she wanted to raise a squirrel, and I met you here, so let's domesticate you first!" Zhenghuan's squirrel moved directly to the space!And while Liang Dayong was picking fungus on the treetops, he also put two big red apples grown in the space in the cage of the little squirrel that was kept in captivity.

After a while, Liang Dayong, who had picked half a bag of fresh fungus, climbed down from the tree neatly, and handed the bag to Su Mu, "Look, they are all big and fat. This kind of fungus is the best when dried. You put it in the basket first, and when I get back, I will pack it up and dry it for you.”

Xia Jin's mother has witnessed the difficulty of picking wild black fungus, and deeply understands the simple enthusiasm of the mountain people.Apart from saying thank you all the time, I couldn't find the right words to thank him for his kindness.

On the other side, Xia Jin was having a lot of fun picking up mushrooms. Liang Dayong saw that he still couldn't pick up a full basket, so he asked Su Mu to wait here with the two of them, and went to find out if there were any pheasants nearby.

After squatting down to help Xia Jin pick up a few mushrooms, Su Mu suddenly came back!Just now I was so happy to catch the squirrel, but I didn't notice that my consciousness has become stronger!What can be done before is to transfer a thing that is within the controllable range to the space and retract it freely.

However, when he noticed the squirrel's behavior in the tree hole just now, it completely broke through his previous ability!

That kind of feeling, as if I can use consciousness to scan and search, even things that are invisible to the naked eye can be easily detected through consciousness!
After finding the key problem, Su Mu really didn't want to pick mushrooms anymore.He absently pawed in the barley, but used his consciousness to try to "scan" the nearby grass.

Sure enough, within a radius of two meters, he could easily scan out specific plants with his consciousness, but as soon as he exceeded this range, his perception ability dropped significantly.

And this scanning ability can't be used for a long time, otherwise you will feel headache and tired.

Even so, Su Mu is very happy, with this scanning ability, it will be more convenient to do things in the future!
