Chapter 12 Are You Here to Purchase Goods?

"Uncle Guogang, please don't say anything. Let me listen to the noise."

Chen Hui came back to his senses and felt it carefully with bated breath.

There is a nest of rabbits about ten meters ahead.

As I crossed the small valley in front of me, I saw a wild boar passing by. The wild boar was not big and was probably not yet an adult.

In the bamboo forest opposite, the bamboo rats that have reproduced this year have grown very large.

Going further ahead, Chen Hui was too far away to feel anything. Even so, it was enough to make him excited and break out in a sweat.

For a person who lives in a place with mountains behind and the sea in front.

The golden finger that takes into account both the mountains and the sea can make people so excited that they can't sleep.

"Uncle Guogang, your trap is well set!" Chen Hui said excitedly.

In the area close to the village, not only prey but even bamboo rats and squirrels were caught completely.

If it weren't for Chen Guogang, Chen Hui wouldn't know when he would go into the mountains and discover the other part of the golden finger.

"what?!"

"what does it mean?"

Chen Guogang and Wang Hongmei both looked puzzled.

"Nothing special, I was just a little excited to find a hare."

"Uncle Guo Gang, hold on a little longer. I'll carry you back later."

"Aunt Hongmei, come and help me. Let's get this nest of rabbits back. Even though Uncle Guogang's foot is injured, it's worth it."

Chen Hui took the hatchet from Chen Guogang's hand.

He looked around Chen Guogang and said, "Raise your hand."

Chen Guogang looked confused, but he still cooperated by raising his arms. His eyes suddenly turned dark and his shirt was stripped off.

"Chen Hui, what are you doing?!" Chen Guogang was shocked.

"Catching rabbits, who is like you? You go up the mountain to hunt without even a sack. Give me the matches in your trouser pocket."

As he spoke, Chen Hui tied the collar and cuffs of Chen Guogang's shirt into a makeshift cloth bag.

It’s a little small, but this is the only way to use it now.

"Chen Hui, I'm going up the mountain to hunt. Do you think I'm here to buy goods? And you're carrying a cloth bag."

"I've given you all the things. Are you sure you can catch the rabbit?" Chen Guogang questioned as he handed over the matches.

"I'm not sure. Who can be sure? Anyway, if I catch one, I'll give it to you."

Chen Hui put the matches in his trouser pocket and walked forward with the hatchet and cloth bag.

"Just wait here."

Wang Hongmei gave some instructions and followed Chen Hui forward.

Chen Hui knew the location of the rabbit.

But a cunning rabbit has three burrows, and he couldn't sense where the exit of the rabbit's nest was.

I could only clear the weeds and branches that had not been picked up by anyone while observing and searching.

"Don't throw this away, take it home and use it for fuel."

Wang Hongmei muttered to herself as she gathered the dry branches together.

"Aunt Hongmei, don't talk, or the rabbit will be scared away by you." Chen Hui reminded.

Wang Hongmei pursed her lips tightly, nodded and made no more sound.

After clearing the surrounding grass, Chen Hui found four exits.

Use the cleaned grass to make a ball, add some stones, and block two of the exits tightly.

"Aunt Hongmei, do you want to be responsible for smoking the rabbits or catching them?" Chen Hui asked.

"Ah?!" Wang Hongmei was confused.

She was not good at hunting. She had hunted with Chen Guogang several times, but she just watched from a distance.

"Chen Hui, she may not be able to catch rabbits, so ask her to smoke them."

Chen Guogang held onto the tree, propped up one foot and stood watching.

"Ok."

Chen Hui nodded, pulled over some dry branches that Wang Hongmei had just collected, and grabbed some fresh and dry grass.

Tied together with thin vines.

"Fortunately, it's summer now, and every household is busy with farm work, so not much firewood is needed." "If it were autumn, they wouldn't even have a dry fern leaf left."

Chen Hui said while tying the vines.

He really felt deeply about this.

"How do you know so much when you only go up the mountain in autumn?" Wang Hongmei asked curiously.

"I only go up the mountain to chop wood in the fall, not in the autumn."

"To be honest, if we really just rely on eating in the village, we would have starved to death a long time ago."

As he spoke, Chen Hui had already lit the ball of grass in his hand.

Because there is fresh grass mixed in it, smoke rises up after the grass ball is lit.

"Aunt Hongmei, just block this opening here. Don't block it too tightly. If there is too little oxygen inside, the fire will go out."

Chen Hui handed the grass ball to Wang Hongmei.

I held the cloth bag and waited at another exit.

"It turns out that the good days are spent with others. If they can't live well, they will go back to the village to eat and drink for free."

“That’s really unkind.”

Wang Hongmei muttered softly and stuffed the grass ball into the cave entrance.

After the fire has burned out a little, continue to push it a little deeper.

Chen Hui felt that the rabbits in the hole were running very quickly due to the smoke, and two of them were running farther and farther away. They must be trying to escape through the hole that he had not discovered.

The other three were panic-stricken and ran to the cave entrance they had blocked, then turned back and headed back to where they were.

three.

The cloth bag made from Chen Guogang's clothes probably can't hold it.

Chen Hui squatted down and waited for all the rabbits to fall into the trap. Then, before they could react, he lay down and pressed all the rabbits under him.

Soon, two of the rabbits gave up struggling.

Scared to death.

The remaining brave one was also easily captured by Chen Hui.

"Wow!" Wang Hongmei shouted in surprise.

He shouted to Chen Guogang happily: "Dad, there are three, three rabbits!"

"Chen Hui, you are really good. You actually caught the rabbit."

"If you have the ability, as long as you don't mess around, you won't have to worry about having a bad life." Chen Guogang said happily.

"I know, I know. I will stop being a jerk and live a good life with my wife."

It has only been three days since Chen Hui was reborn, and his ears are almost callused from hearing so much similar conversation.

The two dead rabbits were tied up in cloth bags, and the live rabbit was also handed over to Wang Hongmei.

He walked up to Chen Guogang and squatted down, "Uncle Guogang, come up."

"I'm here, can you do it?"

Looking at Chen Hui's small body, Chen Guogang felt a little worried.

"As a man, you have to do it even if you can't do it." Chen Hui said.

This joke, which is common to all men regardless of age, made Chen Guogang laugh out loud.

She didn't bother to be polite to Chen Hui and just lay on his back.

Wang Hongmei was holding a rabbit in a cloth bag on her right hand, with a kitchen knife tucked under her armpit and a trap in her hand. She wanted to reach out and support Chen Guogang's butt to make Chen Hui feel more relaxed.

Chen Guogang saw it with his sharp eyes and yelled, "Don't come over here!"

"What are you afraid of? They are all clamped together and won't clamp your butt anymore." Wang Hongmei said helplessly.

"Aunt Hongmei, you'd better stop caring about it."

"When you stretch out your hand, Guo Gangbo gets nervous, and when he gets nervous, he becomes even more serious." Chen Hui said.

Wang Hongmei smiled awkwardly and followed Chen Hui closely.

It is easy to go up the mountain but difficult to go down, not to mention that he was carrying Chen Guogang, who weighed 150 to 160 kilograms.

It took Chen Hui more than two hours to finally carry Chen Guogang up the mountain to his doorstep.

I was so tired that I sat down on the big rock in front of the house.

"Uncle Guogang, your home is over there. You can go back by yourself now, right?" Chen Hui pointed at Chen Guogang's door and panted.
