    Chapter 438: Going out for good luck

    After waiting at the door for two minutes, I saw Er Mazi leading seven or eight tourists towards this side.  When Wukong saw the person coming, he squatted on his master's shoulders and greeted him excitedly.

    Heavy snow has blocked the mountains and the roads leading to the town are difficult to navigate, so many tourists are stranded in Liujiagou.  They were bored in Liujiagou and wanted to find something to do.  Er Mazi thought about it and simply took them to the fields.

    It¡¯s not snowing heavily now, so it¡¯s a good time to catch rabbits in the fields.

    It is not too cold in the fields after the snow. Looking through the snow curtain, the nearby villages and the distant mountains and rivers are all looming, giving a feeling of peace and silence.

    The heavy snow is like a trowel in the hand of a mason, smoothing all the ditches and ridges in the wild.  Wheat fields and roads are all shrouded in pure colors.

    "Auspicious snow heralds a good harvest" Rural people like to associate snow with harvest, but there is actually some truth to it.  Without snow in winter, wheat will not survive the winter and will easily freeze to death.  A heavy snowfall is equivalent to covering the wheat seedlings with a quilt, so that the wheat seedlings can survive the winter safely.

    People have become lazy these days, and they don¡¯t even want to go out on snowy days.  A few years ago, when winter came, there was no work in the village. When it snowed heavily, many people would go to the fields with their dogs and rabbit guns to catch pheasants and rabbits.

    At this time, wild rabbits cannot run in the snow, so they often dig a snow hole in the wheat field, and then hide in it to eat the wheat seedlings.  The tracks left by the hare in the snow are very conspicuous and can be seen from a distance.  Experienced hunters can easily find their targets by following the traces. Some people can catch more than a dozen hares in a day.

    At that time, the hunting team formed in the village could hunt twenty or thirty rabbits at a time, and every family could eat delicious rabbit meat. The small mountain village was as lively as the New Year.  Looking at rabbit tracks is a science, and Liu Junhao doesn't understand it very well.  But with Xiaopi here, these problems are no longer a problem.

    As soon as we crossed the river embankment, we saw two pheasants looking for food in the snow.  A tourist hurriedly raised his crossbow, but before he could take aim, the pheasant was frightened and flew a hundred meters away with fluttering wings.

    "Xiao Hao, how can you catch pheasants if you don't even have a slingshot?" Dr. Wang knew that Liu Junhao's slingshot was very accurate. He could smash a chicken's head with one slingshot. He was expecting him to take action, but he found that the man was empty-handed.

    "Haha, Doctor Wang, I said that my Xiaopi can catch pheasants, do you believe it or not?" Liu Junhao asked.

    ¡°Just brag,¡± Dr. Wang¡¯s expression clearly showed disbelief.  He is a frequent visitor to Liujiagou. Of course he knows that Xiaopi is very powerful, but no matter how powerful he is, he can't catch the pheasant. That thing can fly into the sky.  In fact, he had seen Xiaopi chasing pheasants before, but they always ended in failure.

    "What if Xiaopi can catch the pheasant? How about we make a bet, who loses and takes off his clothes and stays in the snow for ten minutes?" Liu Junhao suddenly became childlike and talked about the bet he often made with Liu Qiyong when he was a child.

    "Really?" Seeing the certainty in his words, Dr. Wang didn't know whether to believe it for a moment, and turned to look at Er Mazi.

    "Haha, don't make a bet to him, this naughty kid is sure to win." Er Mazi quickly stopped him.  If you take off your clothes and stay in the snow for ten minutes, what will you do if you catch a cold?

    "Oh, why?" Several tourists were interested.

    "You don't understand pheasants. This thing has a fatal weakness called 'looking at its head but not its tail'. It will fly up immediately after being startled in the snow, but it can only fly a short distance before falling back to the ground. If there is  Xiaopi chased after him. This thing must be in a panic. After landing, it would dive straight down into the thick snow nest, just hiding its head and not caring about its butt exposed.

    There are white flowers everywhere in this field, and the feathers of pheasants are so bright that people can see them from a long distance away. If you want to catch them, you will die if you don't catch them, so pheasants at this time are the easiest to catch.  Besides Xiaopi's nose can smell the pheasant even if he can't see it" Er Mazi analyzed clearly.

    "No wonder, luckily I didn't make a bet." Dr. Wang felt very lucky that his brain didn't have fever just now.

    "Haha" Liu Junhao smiled and said indifferently, "Actually, what Uncle Guangxi said is not entirely right. Now is not the best time to catch pheasants. If you want to catch them, it is best to catch them at night.

    It¡¯s cold in winter, and pheasants huddle together in nests at night. When you find a place, you just shine a flashlight on it, and they can¡¯t see anything. They look around stupidly with their eyes wide open.  As long as you stretch the net and snap it, you can catch four or five pheasants.  "

    He and Liu Qiyong had done this before. At that time, they were afraid that Old Man Liu would not agree, so they quietly went into the mountain after dinner.  Old man Liu couldn't find anyone at Liu Qiyong's house when he was sleeping. He thought something was wrong and quickly mobilized the whole village to look for him.

    When he returned to the village happily after catching the pheasant, Old Man Liu directly pressed Liu Junhao into the snow nest and beat him severely. Of course, he still ate the pheasant chicken in the end.

    ???????????????????????????If Zi Yan is sure, several tourists are waiting for the success of the little leather horse.  Unexpectedly, after a few minutes, I saw this guy returning empty-handed.

    "No, Xiaopi actually missed it." Er Mazi also found it incredible.

    "If I had known I should have made a bet just now" Dr. Wang became depressed.

    Pi ran straight to his master, wagging his tail and purring a few times, then ran towards the river beach again.

    "What is it trying to do?" Several tourists asked in confusion after seeing the strange behavior of the yellow-spotted skin.

    "Xiaopi must have discovered something new." Liu Junhao knew his macular skin very well and followed closely behind.

    In this way, the large army was led forward by Xiaopi. Less than 200 meters away, Yellow Spotpi suddenly stopped and growled at his master.

    ¡°There seems to be a dry well near here,¡± Er Mazi looked at the surrounding environment and shouted in a low voice.

    "Everyone, stop, Uncle Guangxi, look at the footprints by the well" Liu Junhao pointed at the messy footprints not far away and shouted.  He had rescued Caolizi from this dry well, so he was familiar with it. He knew that there were several large holes in the well wall, which were suitable for birds to hide.

    Pi must have followed the pheasant here and found something in the well, so he ran back to find the owner.

    ¡°There are so many pheasants,¡± Er Mazi was about to call loudly, but then his voice dropped again.

    At this time, a tourist finally understood and asked in a low voice, "You mean the pheasants are hiding in the dry well"

    "It's very possible." Liu Junhao nodded and asked, "Uncle Guangxi, do you have a net bag?"

    "We have it, it should be able to hold the wellhead." Er Mazi said, putting down the bag on his shoulder and taking out a cotton net bag.

    Liu Junhao covered the wellhead with a net bag, and then asked four tourists to hold down the four corners.  Er Mazi pulled two reeds from a distance and inserted them into the well to stir them vigorously.

    "GuguGegeQuack" There was a sudden roar at the bottom of the well.  Soon a bird flew towards the mouth of the well desperately, and then plunged into the net bag.

    Pheasants, white-headed roosters, sparrows, wild ducks The nest seemed to have exploded in the dry well, and all kinds of birds rushed towards the mouth of the well crazily.  Unfortunately, the well was covered with a net, and several people clung to the edge, giving them no chance to escape.

    There were fifty or sixty birds in this group. Fortunately, the net bag Er Mazi brought was big enough, otherwise they wouldn¡¯t be able to fit them in.  There are also smart birds who saw that the way up was blocked and fell directly into the bottom of the well, thus escaping the disaster.

    "Xiao Hao, how do you divide it?" Er Mazi did not expect that he would be lucky as soon as he went out. There were more than a dozen pheasants and ducks in total.  There were many other birds, but he couldn't see them in his eyes and planned to let them go later.

    "We all have a share of the pheasants, one per person, and let the rest go, right?" Liu Junhao thought about it and said.

    This is the rule of hunting in Liujiagou. As long as we go out together, the prey must be divided equally, even the soy sauce hunter will have a share.

    After everyone sorted the pheasants into other birds and let them go, Er Mazi curiously went over to see the structure in the well.  He was a little surprised how the pheasant could hide in the well, because the thing couldn't fly straight up and down.  When he discovered that there were several big holes under the wellhead, Erzi suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the pheasants were hiding in them.

    Since the beginning of catching pheasants, Wukong has been very active. He stretched out his claws and kept plucking feathers. In a few strokes, he plucked several pheasants bare.

    Liu Junhao knocked it on the head twice before the guy stopped squeaking.

    After this battle, several tourists once again felt that the intelligence of Yellow Spot Pi was indeed not comparable to that of ordinary dogs.  Some people even thought about breeding, planning to wait for the black panther to give birth to another cub and beg for one.

    After picking up the pheasants, they continued to wander around the wheat field.  Not far away, a tourist discovered a line of shallow footprints, as clear as plum blossom petals.

    "It's a rabbit mark," Er Mazi glanced at it and answered firmly.

    "What's going on with these footprints? Why are they so far apart?" Dr. Wang took out his camera and took two photos, then asked in confusion.  The distance between the footprints on the ground is often short, and the farthest distance is more than three meters. If you are not careful, you will miss it.

    "Haha, wild things are very clever. It is mainly afraid that raccoons will find the rabbit's nest, so when walking in the snow, it always jumps forward in leaps and bounds."

    "Then let's follow the footprints, or should we split up?" A tourist asked with a headache as he looked at the white footprints everywhere on the ground.  The tracks were in three directions, and there was no way to determine where the rabbit had escaped.

    "No, let me take a look." Er Mazi fought against a rabbit gun for a while when he was young, so he was very familiar with this kind of traces.  He squatted on the ground and looked at it for a while and said, "It should be walking in this direction."?, after the hare is full in the wheat field, it often jumps to other places.  There are also those who eat and walk, but in the end they will follow the original path back to the rabbit den and lie in wait.

    They are very vigilant and never dare to go where there are no footprints of their own. This is also the trick to catching rabbits.  So if you want to set a rabbit trap, just follow the footprints and set it.  But don't step on the rabbit's footprints, they are very careful.  "

    The rabbit trap Er Mazi mentioned was a ring made of wire, usually about ten centimeters in diameter.  When putting on the set, the ring should be vertical on the ground, about 10 centimeters higher, and the other end should be wedged tightly into the ground with a wooden stick.
