Chapter 53 Why is his luck so good? When Li Long got up, it was already dawn. After sleeping for more than eight hours, he felt refreshed. He got up, dressed, and went out. He heard some noise in the west room. He pushed the door open and saw his sister-in-law Liang Yuemei steaming buns. "Why don't you sleep a little longer?" Liang Yuemei asked with a smile, "There's nothing to do anyway, and you've been tired for two days." "I set some rabbit traps yesterday. I plan to go check them out later." "Uncle, uncle! Have you set the trap? When will you take it out? Can I go with you?" Li Qiang shouted in the inner room. "No, it's too far, you can't walk." "I'm not afraid of being tired!" Li Qiang is at an age when he is active and curious. He ran out from the inner room and said excitedly. "Where did you set the trap?" Liang Yuemei asked.
"Red Willow Beach, you have to walk one and a half kilometers." "Then let him go and exercise. It will be time for dinner when you come back." "Okay." Li Long nodded, turned to Li Qiang and said, "Wear something thicker." "Mom, I want to go too." Li Juan suddenly spoke. "Row." Li Long took Li Juan and Li Qiang and headed east along yesterday's footprints. "Uncle, how many rabbits can we catch this time?" Li Qiang asked as he walked. His trouser legs and cotton shoes were tied tightly to prevent snow from getting in. Although walking was troublesome, he was so excited at this time that he didn't feel tired. Li Juan followed behind with a urea bag in her hand, without saying a word. "I don't know, maybe there isn't even one." Li Long said as he walked. He had to consider the speed of the two children and didn't walk fast. The fields were all white, but reeds were growing on the stalks of the fields. This plant had such strong vitality that even if the roots were dug out and exposed to the sun for a few days, they would still sprout after being buried in the soil for a few days. So the most annoying thing about farming at this stage is this. After a dozen years, some special herbicide will be available, and the reeds will die after just one application. Li Long remembered that when he first arrived, he followed the tractor that was plowing the fields and picked up reed roots. He peeled the white roots and chewed them. They were sweet, just like eating sugarcane. It is said to be Chinese medicine. My head was full of random thoughts and I didn't even hear Li Qiang's question. "Uncle, uncle! How far is it?" After walking less than a kilometer, Li Qiang could hardly walk anymore. "Look ahead," Li Long recalled his thoughts and pointed to a patch of red willows in front of him. "That's where the red willows are." "If you don't want to leave, then go back!" Li Juan didn't give her brother any face, "You came here on your own!" "I don't want to go back. We're almost there." Li Qiang encouraged himself, "Maybe we'll see some rabbits once we get there!"
By the time they reached Hongliu Beach, all three of them were out of breath. Li Long held the urea bag and asked the two siblings: "Are you going to follow me in, or wait here?" "I want to go in!" Li Qiang raised his hand, and Li Juan also raised her hand without saying anything. "Okay, follow me. You step wherever I step." He followed the footprints he had left yesterday and soon reached the first set. He was a little disappointed because it was empty. The second, third, and fourth condoms were all empty. Li Juan and Li Qiang could both see the condom, and were very disappointed when they saw that there was nothing inside. Continuing to walk in, Li Qiang couldn't help but say: "Uncle, are we going back empty-handed today?" Not seeing the rabbit, he was filled with disappointment, and his voice was already filled with tears. Li Long wanted to laugh. The little guy endured the tiredness and followed with hope, but in the end he didn't see a single rabbit. This was quite disappointing. "Don't talk!" Li Juan suppressed him habitually, "What if you scare the rabbit away?" Li Long was about to say some words of comfort but then he swallowed them back. It really helps to have a sister looking after her brother. Li Qiang stopped talking and continued to follow silently. "Rabbit, rabbit!" After a moment, Li Long stopped. Li Qiang saw the frozen rabbit on the ground and shouted excitedly. An adult gray rabbit weighing two or three kilograms was strangled by the neck with a noose and had become stiff. Li Long untied the thin wire bag and put the rabbit into the bag. "Uncle, uncle, let me see!" Li Qiang said excitedly. "Don't talk!" Li Juan, who was equally excited, patted Li Qiang, "What if you scare the rabbit away?" Li Qiang was used to it, so he didn't care at all. He took the bag and took out the rabbit, saying: "It's so heavy! I don't know how much meat it has..." Well, unlike the children in later generations who said how cute rabbits are, the first thing children nowadays do when they see a rabbit is to see if they can eat it. People in later generations may not understand this, but nowadays it is very normal. In the days of meat and oil shortage, people would eat whatever game they could catch. At that time, there was no animal protection law. Li Long continued to walk forward. Li Qiang was holding the bag. Li Juan wanted to take it, but he refused. "Another one, alive!" This time, Li Qiang's voice was even louder! Under the big red willow, a gray rabbit was almost strangled to death, with blood foaming from its mouth. When it saw someone coming, it began to struggle violently, and the more it struggled, the tighter the thin wire became. Li Long went over and grabbed its ears, lifted it up and finally untied the thin wire, then carried it over to Li Juan and Li Qiang. "Look, he's almost dead." It was smaller than the last one, still spitting blood foam from its mouth, but its vitality was still strong. Li Long suspected that its throat was strangled, but its blood vessels were not, so it was still alive. "Uncle, can I take it for a while?" Li Qiang asked.
"No," Li Long hurriedly stopped him, "This guy is very fierce, and his claws are also sick, you can't scratch him... Just touch him, touch the back of his head." Li Qiang touched it immediately, then immediately retracted it, fearing that he would be caught. Li Juan also touched it, and then touched it again. Li Long twisted the rabbit's head and put it into the bag. Later, two more dead rabbits were found. This time, Li Long held the bag himself. The four rabbits weighed almost ten kilograms. When he turned back, Li Long unexpectedly found another alive one at the edge of Hongliu Beach. It is alive and kicking, and must have just crawled into the casing. It is lying under the roots of the red willow, close to the ground. If you have poor eyesight, you really can't see it. When Li Long came up to it, it suddenly jumped up and kicked towards Li Long! He actually took the initiative to attack! This was also the largest of the five rabbits. Li Long was quick-witted and grabbed its ear and lifted it up. The rabbit was also experienced. When Li Long picked it up, it even bent its body and kicked towards Li Long with its hind paws! "Uncle, be careful!" Li Juan saw it and shouted anxiously. Li Long thought, how could this bastard get hurt? He picked up the rabbit by its ears and smashed it to the ground! Because it was restrained by the thin wire sleeve, Li Long didn't use much force. The rabbit was thrown down and actually got up and tried to escape. Li Long grabbed its ears again, swung it up and smashed it to the ground! This time, I lost my soul. Only then did Li Long untie the thin wire, put the rabbit into the bag, and carried it home. "Uncle, you are so awesome!" This time, Li Qiang said it sincerely. Li Long smiled, still feeling a little proud. On the way back to the team, I ran into my neighbor in the front yard, Xie Dafa. Xie Dafa was two years older than Li Long, and Li Long and his group of young people often called him Brother Fa. Two years later, when "The Bund" was released, Xie Dafa was still often teased, but he didn't get angry. He habitually said, "Then I am called foresight - I came first, and then the TV came, okay?" When Fa Ge saw Li Long and his friends coming back with bags, he asked from a distance: "Xiaolong, what are you doing so early?" Before Li Long could speak, Li Qiang said: "Uncle Dafa, my uncle is taking us to catch rabbits! Let's catch a few!" Li Long thought to himself, Li Qiang, you have a big mouth! Don’t you know that you should be low-key? Fa Ge was curious and surprised: "Catch a rabbit? How do you catch it?" Li Long explained with a smile: "It's not catching them. I set traps yesterday. I seemed to have good luck tonight and caught a few." "Let me see." Fa Ge was a little unconvinced. He stretched out his hand to open the bag and looked inside. He saw a live rabbit and was amazed: "Xiaolong, you are amazing! Many people in our team have heard of this rabbit trap, but few have made it. I didn't expect that you can not only make it, but also catch rabbits. It's amazing! Tomorrow, I will learn from you." "Row."
Watching the three people from the Li family return to the yard, Xie Dafa sighed and said, this waiter from the Li family is so lucky! A new round of recommendations will be released this afternoon. I don’t know whether I can get information about the second round of recommendations. I am very nervous... Thank you all for your support with monthly tickets and recommendation tickets. Thank you Brother Fa for the reward. The small characters have been sent out, check! (End of this chapter)
