Start as a farmer from an ordinary world

Chapter 49 Does the hare dig a hole?

Lianzizui is a kind of local impromptu allegro in the Loess Plateau, and it can also be regarded as a variant of Lotus Fall.It pays attention to popular rhyming, concise and to the point.

Some artists who talk about chain mouths often have a strong ability to improvise, and they can make up whatever they see, and export it into a chapter.

In Wang Manyin's view, Wang Qingming was also born in the wrong era, and it's a pity that he has all the skills.If you lived in the later generations, you would definitely be an internet celebrity or something.

Wang Lianshun saw that almost everyone had arrived, so he cleared his throat and said, "Okay, okay, everyone, don't make a fuss. Let's set off early, and try to get a few more rabbits in the morning, and get some more meat for the children at home." .”

"Uncle Lian Shun, where do we start?" Someone immediately asked.

"Go to the old grave behind the village and have a look. I took a look yesterday. There are a group of pheasants hiding in the woods..."

Wang Lianshun thought for a while and responded.

The old grave he mentioned refers to the old ancestral grave by the cliff behind the village.

It has been 200 years since the ancestors of Guanzi Village moved to this place, and seven, no.

I don't know which generation planted more than a dozen cypress trees on the cemetery, and they are also very old, and all of them are as thick as bowls.When the iron and steel industry was being smelted, the upper management wanted to cut down these cypress trees, but was stopped by the villagers.

Coupled with the fact that there are many miscellaneous trees and shrubs growing around the cemetery, it is rare to form a small forest.

In this ghostly weather, it is easy for hares and pheasants to hide inside.

As soon as a group of people came out of the village with their dogs, they saw Wang Manjun, the captain of the first team, followed by dozens of laborers, walking in this direction.

Obviously, they also aimed at the old grave behind the village.

The two captains met to discuss it, and a hundred and ten people gathered together to encircle the old grave, catch the prey and divide it equally.

The heavy snowfall made it much easier for everyone to catch hares, and there was no need to bother setting up rabbit nets.

Only seven, no. 80 people were assigned to surround the entire old grave, and the rest of them brought dogs and beat the bushes in the snow nest with sticks in their hands.

They had just knocked for a while when they heard a rustling sound from a bush.Immediately, a few pheasants flapped their wings and staggered forward.

These guys only flew half a tree high, and their speed was much slower than usual.

And as soon as they flew more than ten meters away, they fell from the sky like planes that were hit, and plunged into the snow nest.

Several waiting dogs immediately rushed forward, scrambling to bite.

"Brother Wang, what's the matter? Why don't these pheasants run away?" Liu Xiangyang who was next to him couldn't help asking.Several other educated youths also had doubts on their faces.

None of them expected that catching pheasants was so easy, as if they were picked up casually.

People can catch up directly even if they don't use earth dogs.

"Hungry, under such heavy snow, the grass seeds and shoots have been buried in the ground, and there is no food outside. They haven't eaten for two or three days, and they have no strength to fly. In a few days of snow, you can still pick up frozen Dead pheasant..." Wang Manyin was very clear about this.

The auspicious snow heralds a good year, and the heavy snow can not only freeze to death the pests in the soil, but also freeze to death pheasants and hares.So whenever the snow melts, many people in the village will go to the cliff to look for it.

If you are lucky, you can also pick up hares and pheasants.

As for "not picking up chickens in spring and not picking up rabbits in winter", it doesn't work well on the Loess Plateau.

Soon, everyone drove up three hares from the old grave.

Their fate was the same as that of pheasants. Before they could run far, they were surrounded by dogs and hunted down.

Six pheasants and three hares were a good start for everyone.

But that's all.

It's a bit wasteful for the hundred and ten people to get together, and they can't do anything with each other.

After searching the entire old grave, the two teams separated again.

Except for a few educated youths who joined in the fun, the rest of the strong men were all rural people.They naturally know how to find hares, and they keep their heads down when they walk, and their eyes scan the surrounding snow nests at any time.

Seeing snow holes on the ground, he immediately shot them down with a shovel.

If there are any, let’s shoot first.

As long as the hare is driven out of the snow nest, there are dogs guarding it, and almost no one runs away.

Liu Xiangyang looked over there for a while, and doubts arose in his heart again.

He said to Wang Qiusheng who was next to him: "The book says that the cunning rabbits have three caves. Why don't the wild rabbits dig holes in such a cold day?"

He saw clearly just now that the few captured hares were hiding in the snow nest, and no caves were found at all.

"I don't know about that either," Wang Qiusheng scratched his head and said, "The rabbits I've seen don't dig holes, at most dig a shallow hole in the soil, and run away as soon as they are chased..."

Seeing that the other party couldn't tell the reason, Liu Xiangyang had no choice but to change the subject of the question: "Brother Wang, do you know?"

Most people don't know the answer to this question.

But Wang Manyin really knew... He had argued with others about this in his later generations, so he deliberately searched the Internet for relevant information.

"What's the matter, there are many kinds of hares. The hares in our country are actually called grass hares. They have long ears, strong hind legs, and are good at avoiding natural enemies with speed. Rabbits that dig holes are called rabbits. They grow in foreign countries. The general population Gather, there are no wild ones in our country. The big white rabbits raised in your city are domesticated from the rabbits. As for the three caves of the cunning rabbit, it should be translated as three hiding nests, not hiding caves..."

"So that's the case," Liu Xiangyang nodded after hearing that.

Paying attention to everything is knowledgeable, and it is the first time he knows that the hare has so many sayings.

In fact, these days when they go to the countryside to jump in the queue, the educated youths can also feel the careful thinking of the villagers.

Although they are very warm and respectful to everyone, there is a bit of alienation in them, as if they are automatically divided into two categories.

However, Wang Manyin gave these educated youths a different feeling. There seemed to be a unique temperament in him, and he regarded everyone as an equal object of communication on a daily basis.

In addition, Wang Manyin seems to know a lot, and he can say one, two, three, four when it comes to anything.

By the time everyone searched the nearby mountain plateau and finished work, they had harvested more than a dozen hares.Counting the ones caught by the first team, at least thirty rabbits were wiped out today.

But no one is worried about whether the hare will be caught... This is completely unfounded.

Wild rabbits breed four or five litters a year, each litter can have six or seven, and the next generation can be produced at the age of six months.So as long as a few female rabbits survive on the nearby mountain plateau, next autumn will be full of rabbits again.

The reason why later generations of hares become protected animals is mostly due to the use of pesticides.Many grain seeds are mixed with pesticides before they go to the ground... It takes a long time to spray pesticides several times from planting to harvesting, which will naturally cause a devastating blow to wild animals.

Not to mention hares in future generations, even voles are rarely seen.

After the hare was skinned, Wang Shouchang, the squint-eyed man, was still in charge.

This time there are a few more pheasants, and the taste is richer.

The rules are the same as last time, each family gets a big bowl, and it's like preparing for the New Year in advance.

Wang Manyin originally thought that the rabbit meat was divided, and today's matter came to an end, but he did not expect that Wang Lianshun would have a follow-up program.

He stopped the men who were about to leave and said: "Everyone, don't go, I have something to announce. It's only a few days before the Chinese New Year. A few days ago, someone was muttering about when to pay dividends. Let's take advantage of today's free time to pay the dividends." Let’s take stock of the production team’s year-end settlement. After eating, everyone still gathers in the breeding room, and they all bring their workbooks when they come.”

As soon as they heard that it was going to be settled, everyone in the venue immediately became excited.

Of course, this does not include Wang Manyin.He expected nothing.

I have worked for a total of more than ten days, and a work point is calculated as five cents, and I can earn up to seven yuan for more than ten days.He also borrowed 7 yuan from the production team before, so after this calculation, he still has to pay the debt.

In fact, a few days ago, Wang Lianshun secretly greeted him in private, saying that he could give him some work points for taking care of him, so that he could keep quiet when the time came.

After Wang Manyin knew about it, he directly rejected it.
