Chapter 61 Catching Bamboo Rat

Xia Zhongguo saw that the children had calmed down, so he simply took them to find bamboo rats in the bamboo forest. Like rats, this bamboo rat lives underground, and it is usually not far from finding a burrow. up.

"Bowen, you guys look around to see if there are any holes nearby. Remember not to go too far, at least not out of my sight, do you understand? Wen Hao, you guys take Bowen and them in groups, remember to take one with you and don't go far away gone."

Xia Zhongguo was worried that they would get lost if they searched too hard, so he simply asked his children to lead them into groups one by one. As long as they didn't go very far, the children in the family would not get lost.

"Father, what about me? You also find something for me to do, I can't just stand by and watch!" Xia Nuan immediately divided into three groups when she saw Wen Hao and the others. I'm a little anxious about the list, her combat power is much stronger than Wen Hao's, I don't want to just stay like this, it's too boring.

"Nuannuan, just leave these rough jobs to your brothers. Let's wait here for them to come back, shall we?"

If Wen Hao and the others saw the difference between Xia Zhongguo's attitude towards Xia Nuan and the difference between them, they would definitely shout that they were indeed picked up by Wang Ximei and the others.

"Father, why don't we look for it too, it's so big here, big brother, when will they find it, besides, there's no place to sit and stand for a long time, and it's tiring!" Xia Nuan coquettishly wanted to follow along. Well, she has never seen this bamboo rat before. In the future, there will not be as many rare animals as bamboo rats.

Xia Nuan also plans to follow and see what the bamboo rat looks like, how could she be willing to stand here and wait for Wen Hao and the others to come back!
Xia Zhongguo didn't say much when he saw Xia Nuan was very interested, "Okay, then you have to follow Dad and don't run around..."

Xia Nuan followed Xia Zhongguo to find burrows around, and the two of them burrowed in places with lush vegetation. Whether it was bamboo rats or rabbits, they would also choose some hidden places when digging burrows.

Finding the burrow was not a difficult task. It didn't take long for Xia Nuan and the others to find it, and of course Wen Hao and the others also found it.

"Okay, Wen Hao, hurry up and find some dry firewood. Let's smoke out the bamboo rats hiding in the burrow." The best way to deal with this kind of prey hidden in the burrow is to use smoke, so that the animals will suffer If there is no smell of smoke, it will escape by itself.

"Father, is this really a burrow dug by a bamboo rat? Could it be a mouse or a rabbit?" Xia Nuan felt that even if she found a burrow, it might not necessarily be a burrow dug by a bamboo rat.

"Cough, cough, cough...it doesn't matter if it's a bamboo rat hole or a rabbit hole, anyway, if you catch it, you'll have to eat it." Xia Zhongguo coughed a few times to cover up his embarrassment, of course he wouldn't tell Xia Nuan In fact, he had forgotten that this might not be the hole dug by the bamboo rat.

"Then what if there is a hole that was missed, and the rabbit or bamboo mouse inside escaped from other holes?" question to ask.

"You kid, there's no way you'll be able to hunt. Your father and I used to go hunting in the mountains without luck. Anyway, we found a hole in the ground, so let's try our luck!"

Xia Zhongguo piled up Wen Hao's several dry branches at the entrance of the hole Wen Zhi found, and then lit the pile of firewood with the matches he brought from home.

After the pile of firewood lit up, Xia Zhongguo asked Wen Zhi and the others to fan the smoke into the entrance of the cave, and Xia Zhongguo returned to the entrance of the cave that he and Xia Nuan found together.

"Hurry up and put the pannier at the entrance of the cave. Remember to put it closer. If there is any movement, immediately lift up the pannier." After Xia Zhongguo lit the fire, he began to tell the children what to pay attention to.

"Second Uncle, don't worry, it's too easy, just watch it!"

When Wen Zhi and the others fanned the smoke into the cave, smoke came out of several other caves. It seems that these caves are indeed connected, and there are two other places nearby that are emitting smoke.

"Bowen, you can just leave one person at the entrance of each hole. Have you seen the two smoking places? Hurry up and guard those two places with two people, and don't let the prey escape from the two holes."

There are people standing at the mouths of several caves, and now they are waiting for the prey inside to throw themselves into the net.

Wen Zhi continued to fan the hole with the big leaf in his hand. Five minutes later, Xia Zhongguo and the others suddenly sprang out of the hole with two dark gray things. Before Xia Nuan could see what was coming out, Xia Zhongguo I feel the weight of the backpack in my hand.

Worried that the prey would escape, Xia Zhongguo immediately picked up the pannier in his hand, just as there was movement here, Bowen and Bohao also had movement there.

"Ah... I caught it, I caught it..." Bo Han and Bo Wen were particularly excited, this was the first time they caught prey with their own hands!

There was also movement on Wen Hao's side, but Wen Hao was not as excited as Bo Wen, because he had caught prey on the mountain before and didn't feel anything unusual.

After nothing came out of the burrow, Xia Zhongguo and the others put the baskets together. Xia Nuan took a closer look and saw a plump bamboo rat with dark gray hair inside the basket.

"Father, is this a bamboo rat? It looks fatter than a mouse. It looks like this one must weigh four or five catties. It's not as ugly as a mouse, but it looks cute."

Xia Nuan looked at the round eyes of the bamboo rats flickering. They must have been frightened and bumped around in the back basket looking stupid, so she stretched out her hand to touch them.

Xia Zhongguo was so frightened that his heartbeat almost stopped, and he quickly grabbed the hand that Xia Nuan wanted to reach out, "Why are your hands so fast, kid? This bamboo rat doesn't look fierce, but look at its sharp point Teeth, it would be a terrible thing to be bitten."

Xia Zhongguo started to tie up the five bamboo rats he caught. If they were put in the basket like this, they would have bitten the basket.

This time Xia Zhongguo brought these children up the mountain to get a good result, and he couldn't take the children to stay on the mountain for too long.

Before going down the mountain, Xia Zhongguo buried the fire that had just been extinguished with soil, and he was relieved when he saw that the fire was completely extinguished.

"Second Uncle, what are you doing? Isn't the fire already extinguished?" Bowen was very puzzled that Xia Zhongguo buried the extinguished fire with soil.

"Don't look at the fire that has been extinguished, but it will still be dangerous. If the weather is dry in winter, it will be very dangerous if the fire is not completely extinguished, so we must bury it with soil. After we pack up, we should go down the mountain." Xia Zhongguo didn't agree. I took the trouble to explain it to the children carefully.

Bowen and the others managed to go up the mountain once, and they didn't want to go down the mountain so soon, they haven't had enough fun yet!
"Second uncle, can we play on the mountain for a while?" Boyu is the youngest, and he is very curious about the mountain. In addition, Wen Hao and the others always say that there is something interesting on the mountain, so Boyu yearns for the fun on the mountain. What's the fun now.

Xia Zhongguo saw that it was almost time for lunch, and if he didn't go back, Xia Nuan's mother would be anxious at home. Originally, Wang Ximei didn't agree with him bringing a few children up the mountain. If he went back late, he would have to talk for a long time.

"No, your second aunt should wait anxiously at home. Besides, it's enough to catch so many things. Aren't you hungry? Your second aunt prepared big meat buns for lunch today!"

Sure enough, Xia Zhongguo has a way to deal with the children. When he talked about Roubaozi, the naughty children couldn't care less about playing. "Second uncle, I'm hungry, let's go home. There is nothing to play on this mountain."

"Yeah, Dad, we've been out for so long and we're already hungry, so let's go home and eat!"

"Second Uncle, I too am hungry..."

Xia Nuan covered her eyes and couldn't bear to watch the face-changing speed too fast. She just said that she wanted to play on the mountain, but now she had something to eat and said there was nothing fun about it.

Now Xia Nuan has seen what it means to be cheeky, "Gulu Gulu..." Xia Nuan touched her stomach that was screaming from hunger and didn't care about anything else.

"Father, I'm hungry too, let's go home quickly. I feel like I can eat two big bowls of rice now."

"Nuan Nuan is hungry, okay, let's go home!" Xia Zhongguo returned home happily with a few children.
