In late February, the snow on the back mountain began to melt gradually, and the hunters, who had been idle for a whole winter, began to prepare to go into the mountains.

Guangdan also carried his small cloth bag and went to Dafang Village under the escort of his elder brother.

Because he was so young, his family was even worried that he would be taken away by a wolf on the road.

Yes, that's an exaggeration.

Gouwei sent the man to drink some hot water and then turned around and went home. His family was preparing for spring plowing, and he was also very busy.

My uncle was very happy to see Guangdan. He pulled him to the kang and started to stroke him carefully.

"Come, let your uncle take a look!" As he said that, he stretched out his hand and pinched Guangdan's face into shape.

After a while of grinning, Guangdaner was able to speak normally.

"Hehehe, I'm here to learn skills from a master!" He said and looked at his cousins ​​beside him.

"Hey, where's cousin Ah He?" Guangdan asked curiously after looking around carefully and not seeing anyone.

"He has gone to a private school. Let him learn a few words." The uncle waved his hand, a smile on his face.

"Oh, that's great!" Guangdan didn't feel guilty at all for not going to school, but kept saying that he wanted to give a brush to his cousin Ahe.

After the two of them chatted for a while, they talked about business.

"We have to go to the mountains this afternoon. Do you want to come with us?" As the uncle said this, he looked at the bald boy's little arms and legs with some suspicion.

The bald guy was not convinced and puffed out his chest and said, "I'm going! I haven't been exercising well at home during this period of time. Now I feel much better!"

As he said this, he waved his little fist. This is because he has no muscles, otherwise he would have to show off the results of his exercise.

"Hahaha, okay, follow me then! It's a little far!"

At this time, the older cousin next to him said with a smile: "It's okay, if you get tired, I'll carry you!"

Guangdan: Uh--

After a simple meal of some pancakes at noon, Guangdan followed his uncle and cousins ​​into the mountains.

In order to help him walk better in the mountains, his aunt gave him a pair of old leather boots from his cousin Ah He.

Ah He, the youngest child in my uncle's family, is older than Guangdan, so he can't use these little things.

Even if you are naked, you won’t mind. Old leather boots are much more useful than cotton shoes in the snow.

After entering the mountain, the road is very slippery. The snow melted in the sunlight and turned into icy water that flowed freely in the mountains.

The snow and water would freeze at night, but now it was afternoon and the accumulated water thawed again, making the entire road wet.

My uncle and cousins ​​were carrying sacks and long knives, but they lacked bows and arrows.

"Uncle, why don't you bring a bow and arrow?" Guangdan asked curiously when he thought of the bow and arrow hanging on the wall of the main hall in his uncle's house.

"No need. We cleaned the traps a few days ago. Today we can just go directly to the traps." Uncle said happily.

The second cousin next to him went on to explain: "It's still cold now, and not many things are out, so there are few chances to encounter them. It's useless to bring a bow."

Guangdan nodded as if he understood something, walked between his uncle and cousins, and kept looking around.

After entering the mountain, I felt that the temperature was obviously lower. Except for a few trees that were still green, most of them were dead branches.

Not to mention grass on the ground, even dead branches are hard to find.

Guangdan couldn't help but sigh in his heart that he had come too early. He had to wait until the mountains turned green before he could do anything.

After walking for about half an hour, Guangdan felt his legs were a little tired. When he was about to rub his legs, his uncle stopped.

"It's right here. Come here, Guangdan, take a look!" As he said this, he grabbed Guangdan's collar and dragged him forward several steps.

Guangdan blinked his eyes and saw a not-very-fat rabbit lying in an inconspicuous pit on the mountainside.

"Isn't this too unconcealed?" Guangdaner asked uncertainly as he looked at the trap that had been laid out.

"Hahaha, there were some dead branches covering it, and the rabbit fell down and the dead branches were crushed!" The cousin explained with a smile as he squatted down and reached out to take the rabbit.

Guangdan looked at the dead branches under the rabbit and still felt that they were different from what he had imagined.

As if seeing his confusion, the uncle gently patted the little hat of the bald egg and said, "These animals can't find anything to eat throughout the winter, so now that they have found food, they don't care about traps or not, so it doesn't matter if the concealment is a little worse."

When Guangdan heard this, he thought, isn’t this just the saying that birds die for food?

Oh, no, it's the rabbit that died for food!

Seeing that Guangdan was still in a daze, the uncle started walking around the trap.

"Guard, come here."

Following his uncle's call, Guangdan trotted over and saw black animal feces in his uncle's hand.

"Look, usually our traps can be built in places where animal feces are found." As he said this, he mischievously stretched his hand in front of Guangdan'er's nose.

"Hey, hey, hey, I learned it, I learned it!!" Guangdan giggled while hiding.

At the same time, remember the appearance of the rabbit feces.

Even if I can’t catch anything big in the future, it’s nice to catch a few rabbits from time to time!

"I'll go take another look at the trap." Guangdan ran to the trap again.

The whole trap is not big, about 40 cm in diameter and about 60 cm deep.

Looking from above, the trap is full of bamboo spikes, which should be a trap specially made for small animals.

"This place is not far from the village, and the big guys won't come over, so we dig some small traps, usually some rabbits, pheasants and the like."

As my cousin said this, he put the rabbit in his hand into a sack.

Next, Guangdan discovered that there would be a small trap every quarter of an hour or so.

Looking at the row of small traps, Guangdan asked curiously: "Uncle, how often do we come here?"

"About three or four days. In fact, it mainly depends on these small ones. The big ones are hard to handle. It's usually a matter of luck."

At this time, the burlap bags on my uncle and two cousins' backs were already bulging.

"Pheasants, rabbits, wild ducks, little robes, weasels! Uncle and I have a good harvest!!" Guangdan counted the trophies on his fingers.

"Hahaha, not bad, not bad. It's a blessing from us Guangdan!" As my uncle said this, his laughter echoed throughout the mountains.

"If we want to dig herbs, do we have to wait until spring?" Guangdan thought of his plan again and asked impatiently.

The uncle looked at Guangdan for a few times, and then said slowly: "We have to wait until the spring plowing is over to dig herbs. Only then will the flowers and plants in the mountains grow."

"Oh oh oh, then wait until I finish the spring plowing at home, and then come to my uncle's house?" Guangdan was as excited as if he had been injected with chicken blood.

My uncle blinked his big eyes and asked suggestively, "Your uncle's family doesn't have much land to cultivate, so the spring ploughing will be finished soon. How about I go and help your family for a few days?"

"Okay, it has to be my uncle after all!! Thank you, uncle!" Guangdaner answered loudly.

He doesn't care about his father Lin Daniu, who is suffering for being too concerned about his reputation. What's wrong with relatives helping each other?
