Chapter 373 Observe the traces of prey and make traps

"I was thinking while eating just now, eating insects is quite interesting, but it's always a bit stingy in public."

"So you have a record!"

"Chen Hui, although you are young, you are really reliable!" He Juanjuan smiled with satisfaction.

"Sister Juanjuan, some words can be omitted and some words cannot be omitted."

“For example: ‘Although you are young, you are really reliable!’”

Chen Hui corrected her with a smile.

Everything else can be vague, but short and small are not acceptable!
He Juanjuan was a little speechless and looked at Chen Hui with a smile.

Huang Xiulian was amused and laughed out loud. She patted Chen Hui on the chest and said, "You are just a kid. Where did you learn these things?"

Chen Hui grinned harmlessly.

Together with An Wenjing, I sent the three people to the village entrance.

After He Juanjuan's car disappeared from sight, the young couple returned hand in hand to Wu Jinhua's home.

"You're back! Go and give Aunt Jinhua some food! She must be hungry at this time." Chen Huihong said while washing dishes.

Because there were guests at home, Wu Jinhua didn't feel comfortable coming back for lunch in the afternoon.

Chen Hui specially left a portion warm in the pot for her.

"I'll go right away!"

"Grandma Jinhua brought a corn, which should be enough to cushion my stomach."

After An Wenjing finished speaking, she looked around and found that there was no basket for delivering food at home.

He ran to Wang Hongmei to borrow one, put the food in the basket, covered it with a clean towel and went out.

"Wife, wait for me!"

Chen Hui changed into Liberation shoes, took a small shovel, and went out with them.

"Brother Chen Hui, aren't you going to see Uncle Guo Biao this afternoon?" An Wenjing asked in confusion.

"Yes, I'll go to the back to check the situation!"

Chen Hui headed uphill and glanced behind Wu Jinhua's house.

An Wenjing understood it and nodded without saying anything more.

The two walked up for a while, and then Chen Hui turned to the hill behind Wu Jinhua's house.

Wu Jinhua usually collects firewood here.

Not to mention the weeds on the hillside behind the house, even the small trees have been pulled short.

Chen Hui walked around for a long time and soon found a large area of ​​dug soil.

There was a place that had been dug very deep, forming a pit about half a palm deep.

"what?"

Chen Hui observed the small amount of stems and leaves scattered around.

It looked familiar, but I couldn't remember what it was.

After digging in the pit with a shovel for a while, I dug out a piece of yam.

"Chen Hui, what are you doing?"

"I was wondering who was making the clattering noise on the back hill. It turned out to be you!"

Chen Huihong finished washing the dishes and came over to ask when she heard the noise.

Chen Hui waved to Chen Huihong to come over and handed her the thing in his hand.

"Eh? Earthen yam, this is a good thing!"

"I didn't expect this to grow in the hills behind Aunt Jinhua's house. She would be so happy if she knew!"

"Wait for me a moment. I'll get the hoe and the backpack!"

The root system of wild yam is huge.

The amount dug up may be as little as four or five kilograms, or as much as forty or fifty kilograms.

The taste is not as good as potatoes, but it can also be eaten as a staple food.

Most importantly, it’s wild!
Anything you pick up for free is good.

Chen Huihong said this in surprise and turned around to go back to get her things.

"Aunt, no hoe and backpack!"

"Grandma Jinhua has some animal traps at home. Go get two or three."

"Please bring another bundle of hemp rope, a whole bundle!" Chen Hui said, holding Chen Huihong.

"Bear trap? You mean"

Chen Huihong looked even happier.

"Yeah, it's quite big. It's been here several times."

"If we can catch it alive, raise it for a few days and sell it to Brother-in-law Wang, it will be much more valuable than killing it and selling it in the county," said Chen Hui.

"That makes sense!" "Then what do you want the hemp rope for? To make a trap?" Chen Huihong asked.

"Judging from its size, a normal drawstring trap won't be able to catch it, so let's try making one."

"Catching prey is secondary, the main thing is to guard against people," said Chen Hui.

"Defend against people?!"

"Go get it, and you'll know when you get it."

"oh oh,"

Chen Huihong said this, nodded and walked back.

Chen Hui looked around and actually found a thick branch suitable for hanging his prey upside down.

After Chen Huihong brought the hemp rope, she made a trap at the edge of the pit using the yam she had just dug out.

Then he carefully observed the surrounding ground and vegetation roots.

Place traps in inconspicuous haystacks on the paths that the prey must take in three different directions.

Chen Hui divided the remaining hemp ropes into several sections.

At a height of 1.34 meters, two or three trees are tied in a group to the trees near the trap.

"Chen Hui, what are you doing?"

"This doesn't look like a trap. It looks more like a place to mark the territory."

Chen Huihong still couldn't understand.

“It’s for marking!”

"Although it always comes early in the morning or late at night, I can notice it, so maybe someone else will notice it too."

"This way, by fencing off the area around the animal trap, people can be prevented from accidentally entering and stepping on it."

"There's not much flesh on my feet, so if it gets pinched by this thing, it's going to hurt my bones."

As Chen Hui spoke, he rolled up the remaining hemp rope and put it away.

"Oh, that makes sense!"

"Besides, at this height, unless you look over here specifically, you generally won't notice it."

Chen Huihong nodded and said with satisfaction: "You are becoming more and more thoughtful now."

"After getting married, of course it's different!"

Chen Hui casually quoted other people's words to respond to Chen Huihong.

"I just said something to you and you get so proud of yourself!" Chen Huihong smiled and gave him a fake hit, then went back to the house to boil water and prepare tea.

Chen Hui took all the things back.

Washed my hands and changed into clean shoes and pants.

She shouted towards the kitchen, "Aunt, I'm going to look for Uncle Guo Biao. If you have any questions, come to the village to find me!"

"I got it, go ahead!"

Chen Huihong's voice floated out.

Chen Hui walked to the riverside and felt his way towards the village along the pebbles.

The further I walked, the more uneasy I felt.

After passing the bridge, we changed direction and headed towards Lin Jiao's home.

He strode into the store and shouted, "Boss, give me a pack of cigarettes!"

"Eh!"

Lin Jiao was squatting and wiping the cabinet. When she heard the noise, she quickly stood up to entertain them.

When he saw it was Chen Hui, he suddenly felt like scolding him but didn't dare to.

Uncomfortable!

"Hehe, Mom, give me a pack of Daqianmen!" Chen Hui stepped forward with a smile.

"You want to smoke?"

Lin Jiao asked casually and took a cigarette from the cabinet and gave it to Chen Hui.

Signal him not to leave.

He picked up the account book and took out the money that should have been given to Chen Hui yesterday.

I took the money for the cigarettes and handed the rest to him.

"Why would I smoke? I value my life very much!"

Chen Hui took the money, took the cigarettes and left.

When I walked outside the village, I saw that the scarecrow was still there, and I felt a little more relieved.

He found Chen Guobiao, handed him a cigarette and said with a smile: "Uncle Guobiao, have a cigarette!"

"What are you smoking? I want to smoke you! Are you still going to learn how to use a gun?" Chen Guobiao glared at Chen Hui and asked.
