Dressed as a top-notch girl, leading the whole village to become rich

The next day, Ye Guo still slept until she woke up naturally. The main reason was that the Ye family members were reluctant to disturb her and wanted her to sleep until noon.

Because there is not much farm work these days, the younger generation stays at home.

When the leaves and fruits emerge, pick the lotus root tips and wash them clean.

They didn't pick much, just one basket a day, which was enough to eat.

When they had free time, Ye Lu and Ye Mu wanted to go find some wild fruits. Ye Li suggested putting up a bamboo basket and catching some fish and shrimps, as he remembered that his aunt said she wanted to eat some.

Everyone was talking at once, while Ye Wan carefully fed the hens.

Ye Guo did not participate in the discussion. She ate lotus rice porridge while searching in the backyard, mainly looking for a cage.

But obviously there were no other cages to take away except the chicken coop, as the Ye family was too poor.

Ye Guo could only settle for the next best thing and fixed his eyes on the backpack again.

"Aunt, do you think we should go fishing and catching shrimps, or look for wild fruits to eat?" Ye Mu and Ye Lu ran over from the left and right.

Because he ran so fast, he almost knocked the bowl in her hand away.

Fortunately, the food in the bowl had been eaten. Ye Guo hurriedly grabbed the bowl. Seeing the regretful look on their faces, he did not blame them. Instead, he praised them, "I didn't expect you to be so young, but you are so strong!"

"Of course, I will be ten years old next year." Children have short memories. Ye Mu held his head high and showed off proudly to Ye Lu.

Ye Lu is only 8 years old this year. There is a huge difference between two children, one year difference makes a huge difference. When he was cueed, he didn’t know how to answer for a moment and just held on to the hem of Ye Guo’s clothes tightly.

"Think carefully, have you forgotten something?" Ye Guo simply took Ye Lu's hand and went to the kitchen to put away the dishes.

Ye Lu did not participate in digging traps in the bamboo forest yesterday, so he was confused. Ye Mu thought about it for a while but still couldn't remember it, so she had to remind him of the word "bamboo forest".

"Brother Cheng, Brother Cheng, quickly get the backpack and the sack, let's go to the bamboo forest." Ye Mu was so excited that he didn't even care about one of his straw sandals that had slipped away.

Hearing that a trap had been dug in the bamboo forest, Ye Wan, who had originally planned to do some needlework at home, could no longer sit still.

Although Yejia Village is near the mountains, children have been taught since childhood that there are many wild animals in the mountains, so digging traps to catch animals has always been a game for boys.

She is only two years older than the original owner and is essentially still a playful child.

For collective actions like summer vacation activities, the more people the better.

When they entered the bamboo forest, they kept quiet at Ye Guo's reminder.

Before I reached the trap, I heard a squeaking sound.

"Aunt, there are really bamboo rats, five of them. I guess the whole family of bamboo rats is here." Ye Li said quickly.

He is the eldest son of Ye Laoer and has inherited Wang's looks, so when he is not talking, he looks like a gentle scholar. At this moment, his eyes are shining when he looks at Ye Guo, without any trace of his previous steadiness.

Several people did not stop walking. As soon as he finished speaking, everyone saw the bamboo rat family in the trap.

They are much fatter than ordinary mice. The two big ones are about 20 to 30 centimeters long and weigh between two and four kilograms. In short, they look very fleshy.

The fur of bamboo rats is soft and fine, with a gray-brown or tan color, which complements the colors in the bamboo forest, as if it is a natural camouflage given to them by nature.

The round ears are slightly turned outward, ready to catch the sounds around at any time. The bright eyes are sparkling with curiosity and alertness, and the delicate little nose is always twisting to explore the surrounding environment.

The most striking feature of bamboo rats is their pair of strong front teeth, which are not only a powerful tool for them to dig the ground and gnaw bamboo, but also a weapon for their self-defense.

Bamboo rats generally live in family units, so all of these, big and small, except for those that are newly born and cannot run, are probably in the trap.

It is estimated that last night their family probably experienced the classic plot of Calabash Brothers saving their grandfather, and one of them went in after another.

"It seems like we are in for a treat today." Ye Guo couldn't help but be happy. "Bamboo rats usually come out to look for food at night, but you usually come to the bamboo forest during the day, so you have never known them."

Ye Wan had never seen such a big mouse before. "Aunt, this mouse is so big, even bigger than a rabbit."

"That's right, we can't finish these in one meal, we can eat them over many days." Ye Mu's face was full of admiration.

Ye Wan, "You can't eat it all. Smoke it into jerky and it won't go bad even if you keep it for half a year."

Wow, before I even eat the food, I’ve already planned how to store it.

Ye Guo couldn't be like them, unable to take their eyes off the flesh.

"We will discuss how to eat and how much to eat later. The key now is how to catch them back."

Ye Guo was already thinking about whether to go back and call for help. "You see, the teeth and claws of bamboo rats are very sharp. I think it's very dangerous to use your hands or directly use a sack to catch them."

This was in ancient times. If you were scratched by an animal, there was no place to get a tetanus shot.

No risks, absolutely no risks.

Ye Li was very brave, "Let's find a branch and fork the bamboo rat."

"That won't work. Although the trap is quite deep, it would be a shame if the bamboo rat fought desperately and jumped out." Ye Wan said.

Ye Cheng was more mature. He put the backpack upside down on the trap without waiting for everyone to discuss the specific rules.

It has received unanimous praise from everyone.

"I think the first thing we should consider is whether we should capture them alive or dead. Let me tell you in advance, it will definitely be difficult to capture them alive." Ye Guo felt a little powerless. She did not have very advanced survival skills in the wild, and she really could not think of a good solution for a while.

The main reason she raised this idea was that, among the five bamboo rats, the largest one was obviously the most seriously injured, with wounds all over its fur.

In fact, catching bamboo rats is the same as catching snakes. It mainly depends on strength, and you can catch them accurately with one move.

"By the way, do you have a fishing net at home?" Ye Guo suddenly had an idea. "It must be a deeper and stronger net."

"If there are, we can fish out the three small ones first, and then use sacks to get the two big ones out separately."

Everyone thought this plan was feasible, but there was no fishing net at home.

Ye Cheng was really helpful. In the end, he used the hemp rope and the sack he brought to make a net bag on the spot, and took the bamboo pole on the spot.

The others scattered, holding either upside-down backpacks or branches in their hands.

In case the bamboo rats escape, they can also make up for it. The main reason is that after struggling for a whole night, these bamboo rats actually seem to be less agile.
