Reborn in the 80s, starting with hunting in the mountains

Chapter 32 Ice Pit
Yingzi had the same idea as Lin Yi.

In fact, this was not the first time she had dealt with Huang Pizi.

A few years ago, when it was still the People's Commune, she had seen her grandfather play with this thing.

And at that time, the commune also called on everyone to catch this thing.

The Five Immortals are also the targets of key attacks.

"Yingzi, when you said that, I remembered whether Huangpizi can still be exchanged for candy." Zhuzi patted his head, seeming to remember something.

However, most people in the village were waiting and watching, and only a few were brave enough to actually do it.

Zhu Zhu and Lin Yi were still young, so they wanted to go, but their family members threatened to break their legs, so they didn't go.

Yingzi nodded.

She followed her grandfather and caught Huangpizi several times, but she did not suffer any retaliation. This shows that those legends are all false.

Of course, you have to pay attention to the method to catch the yellow leather. If you are not careful, you will fall into its trap.

Ji Yi told a few people about some information he knew about weasels.

"Second aunt, do you smell something bad?" Lin Yi looked at the second aunt.

After realizing it later, he realized that the second aunt's mental state was not quite right from the moment he walked in. Could it be that he had been tricked?
"No, you kid, what are you trying to figure out? I just feel sorry for my old hen." The second aunt sighed.

I have been raising him for many years, and I have been laying eggs diligently. I have developed feelings for him over time, but I didn’t expect that Huang Pizi would steal his home today.

Ji Yi breathed a sigh of relief, that's it.

"Auntie, don't be sad. I'll help you get revenge. I'll catch the yellow skin and exchange it for money, and then buy two chickens to pay for you." Lin Yi said with a smile.

The second aunt was amused by Ji Yi's words.

"You will make me happy. Actually, a chicken is not a big deal. You, don't do dangerous things. That yellow skin is not easy to deal with. Moreover, if this yellow skin comes once, maybe it won't coming."

Ji Yi shook his head, the second aunt's family had more than one chicken.

Lin Yi brought pheasants and hares today.

This yellow man has been stepped on a bit here, and he won't let it go if he gets it.

Will definitely come again tonight.

Seeing that she couldn't persuade Lin Yi and others, the second aunt didn't say anything more and went back to the kitchen to cook.

Lin Yi, Zhu Zhu and Yingzi discussed how to catch Huang Pizi at night.

"Let's dig a trap." Yingzi suggested.

This is also the most common way to deal with Huangpizi in rural areas.

In many places, this trap is also called an "ice pit."

Lin Yi and Yingzi are both second-generation hunters, so they naturally know how to make ice pits.

Zhuzi has a lot of strength, which comes in handy.

According to Ji Yi's instructions, Zhuzhu dug a big hole at the entrance of the chicken coop.

Still using the old recipe, Ji Yi first opened the pillars and others, then replaced the frozen soil on the ground with soil from space, and then let the pillars dig.

You don’t need to dig this pit too deep. The yellow-skinned guy can’t jump very high.

About one meter is fine.

Then Yingzi brought a basin of hot water and poured water along the edge of the pit.

When the water is poured down, it will quickly freeze into ice in the weather with dozens of degrees below zero.

The walls of the pit turned into smooth ice, so that if the weasel fell in, there would be no chance of jumping out.

Ji Ji threw some chicken at the bottom of the pit.

That's it.

The pillar found thatch and covered the pit.

"Why do I feel it's a little too simple? Is this really okay?"

The movement in the yard naturally alarmed the second aunt who was cooking in the kitchen. The second aunt smiled when she saw Lin Yi and the others busy.The house has not been so lively for a long time.

She is also a little envious of other families with many children.

How nice it is to be noisy.

It's a pity that her husband died young. Traditionally, she never thought of remarrying and raised her son and daughter alone. Now that they have all left home, she is lonely.

Looking at the lonely expression on the second aunt's face, Ji Yi also guessed something: "Auntie, my father's forest farm will be on holiday in a few days. You can come to my house to celebrate the New Year. We haven't celebrated the New Year together for a long time."

I remember that when my grandfather was alive, the Chinese New Year was still very lively. Several uncles and aunts would occasionally get together to have New Year’s Eve dinner.

There was a hint of surprise in the second aunt's eyes, this suggestion was not bad.

"Okay, after your cousin comes back, I will go to your house with him to celebrate the New Year."

After chatting for a while, Lin Yi explained the principle of the ice pit to his aunt.

Huang Pizi came to the house to steal the chicken because he was very hungry.

There is fresh chicken in the pit. As long as they smell the smell of meat, it will be difficult not to be fooled.

Although weasels are smart, no matter how smart animals are, they are still smart.

"Boss, I'm going to check out the traps outside the village." Before dinner, Zhuzi volunteered to check out the traps.

Ji Yi asked him to take Shura and leave early and come back early.

Yingzi helped her second aunt cook together.

After a while, there was a large table of sumptuous dishes, steaming hot and fragrant.

Ji Yi couldn't laugh or cry when he saw the gifts he brought turned into delicacies on the dining table.

Auntie really takes it from him and uses it for him.

But if this were not the case, she would definitely not accept it so readily.

After being reborn, Ji Yi cherishes these friendships and family ties.

I also received warm hospitality that I had never experienced in my previous life.

"Yingzi, guess how many yellow-skinned animals we can catch tonight?" Lin Yi asked Yingzi at the dinner table.

Yingzi can look at the footprints and analyze them.

She estimated that there were at least three to five.

Lin Yi's eyes lit up. If he could catch these yellow skins, he could not only help the second aunt recover the loss of the old hen, but also make a small profit.

You must know that Huangpizi's fur is very precious and worth a lot of money.

A few years ago, there were people in the forest farm who made a lot of money by buying and selling weasel skins.

But he was caught later because of speculation.

It hasn't been released yet.

Of course, now that it has been opened up, some people are allowed to get rich first.

It's just that they are still too sensitive now. Except for reborn prophets like Ji Yi, Yingzi Zhuzhu and the others are still very cautious.

Lin Yi also knows the price of some yellow leather. Weasel fur in summer is not valuable. Only in autumn and winter, especially after light snow, will weasel fur become very valuable.

Thanks to his master's relationship, Ji Yi doesn't need to go to the pigeon market.

Just sell the captured yellow skins to the supply and marketing cooperative. Each one can be sold for 40 yuan.

"40 yuan, my God, boss, are you kidding me? Why is it so expensive?" Zhu Zhu said excitedly.

"I'm talking about complete leather. If the leather is accidentally damaged, it won't be worth that much money." Lin Yi told Zhu Ding.

Weasel skin has a wide range of uses. It can be used to make scarves, gloves and hats. It has strong thermal insulation properties and is very popular in the freezing Northeast.

Prices have naturally gone up as well.

"Then we must catch them completely." Zhu Zhu quickly assured.
