Go through the wild and seek life

Chapter 96 The New Neighbor (2)
Since autumn entered, Rudama began to plan for winter.She started collecting potatoes.

There are quite a few in this small piece of residential territory circled by the night.Rudama didn't have to beg Ye to go out with her far away to find potatoes.

Every day, after going out to hunt at night, she would bring snow, a small bone knife, and a small backpack to dig around and get a lot of harvest.

Moreover, she found that where there are potatoes, there are often big fat rabbits to patronize.

Since he fell into a rabbit hole and was chased and bitten by it, Rudama still felt a little hairy. These guys are really big, bigger than an Alaskan sled dog.

But he was afraid of returning home, but with the spirit of plucking wild goose, Rudama didn't want the rabbit that had entered his own territory to fly into someone else's plate.

She made several sets of traps for rabbits with vines and animal skin ropes, placed them on the side of the potato plants, and covered the traces with floating soil and leaves.Waiting for the rabbit to come and throw the net.

The effect is not very good.

It has been more than ten days, and she has only trapped two rabbits.

No way, she miscalculated the strength and destructive power of rabbits in this world.

These rabbits usually step into the trap and get caught, either break free with a few efforts, or bite through the noose and run away.

The two unlucky ghosts who were unfortunately caught were still because of Xue.

Now that the little guy has turned into a snow leopard, he is already bigger than a big fat rabbit, not like a malnourished little Spitz when Rudama brought him home.His fur is shiny all over now, although the fluff of a little leopard has not faded, and his body still has some baby fat, but he has the embryonic form of a strong leopard.

When the trapped rabbit was about to escape, Rudama brought Xue to check the trap, and was caught by Xue.

After catching the rabbit, Xue's appearance obviously changed.Changed the depression after Fat Bird escaped from his hand not long ago.

As usual, Rudama dried the collected potato slices, stringed them up and hung them in the hole for winter use.Rudama also dried the mushrooms and fungus brought back when the salt was transported.

After entering autumn, the weather began to be hot and dry, and the fireplace in the cave was no longer usable, so Rudama and Ye began to cook outside again.

And the smell of the meat drew their neighbors over.

Every time, he still stood at a safe distance of ten meters away from them and put down his prey, waiting for Ye to exchange him with delicious food.

Sometimes, when he came and was away at night, Rudama would bring him delicious food.

Once you come and go, you will become familiar with it.

Although they will keep a certain distance, they are not so vigilant and defensive.

On this day, Rudama brought snow to add water to the cattle.Xue didn't know where to get a bunch of green things, and then kept sneezing.

Rudama took it and smelled it, and it smelled of pepper.She suddenly became excited, where did it come from?This is the seasoning she has longed for!

Later, Rudama found a green wisteria-like plant on the tree trunk beside her cattle pen, which was a bit like a pothos, but not the same. The leaves were longer and had already borne fruit. A bunch of small peas.They wrap around tree trunks and climb up.

After finding the source, Rudama happily picked a lot, and took them back to the cave to dry in the shade.

This thing can drive away the cold, and it is better to put some in it when cooking soup in winter.Especially when cooking fish, put some to remove the fishy smell, and the taste of the fish will be even better.

Thinking of fish, Rudama took advantage of the night hunting and did not come back, so she went to the stream with snow.Find a remote and uninhabited place with shallow water, let Snow turn into a leopard and go down to catch fish.

Xue is still a child at heart, she doesn't have any aversion or dislike for wet or not fur, on the contrary she finds it amusing.

Hunting should be a kind of talent for leopards. Snow is so young, and he already has the appearance of a good hunter.After splashing in the water for a while, he climbed up to the bank with a big fish in his mouth.

After being praised by Rudama, he rubbed his wet, furry head against her legs, and then jumped into the water again.

Catching fish is also a skilled trade. If you catch a lot of fish, you will find a skill.After a while, Rudama had five or six big fishes one or two feet long in his hands.

Feeling that the fish is almost enough, Rudama plans to call Shangxue home.Unexpectedly, this little guy became addicted to playing in the water, so he just refused to come up.

It wasn't until Ye sniffed the smell and found it that he carried the little guy out of the water and went home.

Of course, along the way, Ye always had a dark face.

From the moment I found the two of them, I said two words from the beginning to the end: "Not good!"

Rudama knew that these two words were for himself.

Night blamed her to leave their house disobediently and ran to the public domain.

Rudama smiled embarrassingly at him with a "hehe".

The fish meat with pepper was indeed delicious, and it made Ye's face turn from cloudy to sunny.

Ye would bring small living creatures back every day to let Xue practice hunting.Fat birds were never seen again among these animals, though.Of course, this was because he was afraid that it would fly away from Xiaobaoren's hands, which would dampen his enthusiasm.

Rudama has always known that Ye is very considerate and careful, but he is not good at expressing.

As time went on, the weather gradually turned cooler.This means that winter is approaching them step by step.

Little Leopard Renxue has started to speak, of course, Rudama's mother tongue - Chinese.

The first word he uttered was "ma"!
He is calling Rudama.

Rudama was relieved that the little guy didn't call himself "Big Mom" ​​like Ye did.

It seems that Xue is more talented than Ye in terms of language, but maybe it has something to do with age, Xue is still young, it is time to imitate, and her learning ability will inevitably be much stronger than Ye.

Rudama's big bed mattress needs to be replaced, and most of the leaves are crushed to pieces.

Before the rosin leaves fell off, Rudama began to collect and dry them.

Probably their neighbors have seen Rudama collect this kind of leaves, and they always give her a lot of rosin leaves when they come to exchange food these days.

The fur coats and dry food for the winter are almost ready, and the weather is getting colder.Now you don't have to worry about spoilage when storing meat.

Rudama made a large fishing net out of vines and animal skin ropes.She wanted to catch some fish to pickle while the stream was not frozen.

Now Ye also understands the benefits of storing things for the winter, and the number of prey he catches every day has also increased significantly.Most of them couldn't be eaten, so Rudama pickled them all.

Rudama didn't know what the winter in the forest would be like, whether it would be more severe than when they lived in the canyon, so the food prepared was twice as much as the previous winter.
