It took a family of four less than two-quarters of an hour to reach the foot of the mountain.
Qiao Mingjin told the three children some precautions along the way, and also shared with them some knowledge about pheasants and rabbits and their living habits.
It's just dawn now, so we're still mainly catching pheasants. It's not the best time to catch hares yet.
The three children were very excited as they listened all the way. Once they reached the foot of the mountain, they consciously relaxed their steps.
Qiao Mingjin found an open place and put down the poles, baskets and other objects. She only had a hatchet and a bundle of straw ropes on her waist. She asked Mingqi to lead Wan'er and follow behind, while she and Mingheng were left alone.
He walked carefully ahead holding a condom.
She was looking for places with thick grass. She had met snakes after collecting firewood for so many days, but if she didn't go deep into the mountains, most of the snakes were non-venomous, and snakes are also eaten by people. As long as you don't attack them, they will
I avoid it automatically, but I am not afraid of snakes hiding in the grass.
However, I also folded two long sticks for Ming Qi and Wan'er to hold in their hands.
The sky had just turned white, and there was still dew on the branches and leaves in the grass. After a while, Qiao Mingjin's clothes and trousers, who were walking in front, got wet. She turned around and told Mingqi and Xiao Wan'er to follow the path.
Don't follow her into the grass.
In fact, the best time to catch pheasants is when it is dark. Although it is just daybreak, most pheasants have just woken up and are active, but they are still more awake than at night. Of course, it is much easier to catch pheasants than during the day.
When we entered the mountain, we didn't hear the crow of wild roosters. Otherwise, if we were to look for the sound, we would definitely pounce on it, and we wouldn't have to dig around in the grass to look for it.
Generally, wherever there are roosters, there will be several broods of hens, and there will also be chicks and pheasant eggs. Pheasants are not solitary animals.
This may be because the branches and leaves in the mountains block the sky and the sun is still dark, but it is just right for her.
Qiao Mingjin stepped carefully on the grass, looking around, and from time to time he would poke around in the grass with a long bamboo pole.
Soon she discovered a nest of pheasants.
Sure enough, it was a wild rooster with several broods of hens. Qiao Mingjin was overjoyed. She motioned to Mingheng who was about to pounce excitedly behind her to slow down her steps, while Mingqi and Xiaowaner told them to stay where they were. The two sisters slowly approached.
.
It is unrealistic to catch all the pheasants in this group. If there are big fishes released at once, they may be able to catch them all. But at this moment, she and Mingheng only have one snare in their hands, and no extra tools.
.
Qiao Mingjin weighed it up and quickly made a decision with Mingqi. The two of them chose two nests of pheasants and pounced on them!
It was a pity that a group of pheasants were sleeping peacefully at home with their wives, concubines, and young cubs, and then they were pounced on.
However, since this was his first time doing the operation, even though Qiao Mingjin's pocket was big, there were two pheasants in it, but one of them had half of its body, so the pheasant quickly fled away.
Mingheng's movements were a little hasty because of his excitement. Fortunately, the group of chickens hadn't reacted yet, and he managed to pounce on one.
In a group of chickens, the siblings finally only got two, and the rest were frightened and flew away.
Now that there were not enough tools, Qiao Mingjin could not catch up. He just held down the bamboo pole with his hands, and then stepped forward to hold the pheasant in his pocket when it was about to burst out.
"Mother, mother, did you catch it? Did you catch it?"
"elder sister……"
Qiao Mingjin and Mingheng's actions were not small, and they frightened a group of pheasants. The two little ones saw them from behind and were naturally happy. They rushed over regardless of whether the dew would wet their clothes.
