Chapter 10 Rabbit Dies for Food(1/2)
After eating and washing in the pool outside, Li Ting asked: "Ye Lin, what are you doing in the afternoon?"
"If you don't do anything, maybe go out and play."
"Then can I go with you?"
"No." Ye Lin shook his head.
Ye Lin has promised Liu Wei that he will go with them to the suburbs to trap rabbits in the afternoon. Rabbit trapping is a boy's business, so what's the deal with bringing a girl there?
Also, the distance is quite far, and it is impossible for a girl to keep up. Although in this era, the suburbs are just outside Deshengmen, but Deshengmen is still not close to the front door.
But Ye Lin couldn't tell her clearly, because then Li Ran would know about it and wouldn't let him go at all. In the city, Ye Lin could go anywhere, and Li Ran usually wouldn't care, but not in the suburbs.
Same.
"Why?" Li Ting asked confused.
"Because the place we are going to is far away, we will not stop all afternoon, and it is likely that we will not be able to come back until dark."
"It doesn't matter, I'm not afraid of getting tired." Li Ting said with a smile.
"Uh!" Ye Lin was stunned for a moment, but still said: "Then you should tell your family."
"Well, I'll go back in a while, and I'll come find you after dinner."
Li Ting's words made Ye Lin feel helpless, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it and just follow her. At worst, he would take care of her on the way. No matter what, if he took her out, he must bring her back.
"Okay, but when you come back, you can't tell others where you went, including your parents."
"Yes, I promise you."
Li Ting left, and Li Ran started cooking. Although he was basically full after eating so many prawns, in this era, if he didn't eat some staple food, he always felt like he was not full.
After lunch, while Li Ran and Ye Qi were taking a nap, Ye Lin came out of the courtyard carrying six big mousetraps on his back. When he came out, there was no one at the door.
At this time, the weather is relatively hot, but people at work and teachers who are resting at home will take a nap at this time, and some people have just eaten. In other words, Ye Lin came out early.
After waiting for about half an hour, Liu Wei sneaked out of the courtyard. When he saw Ye Lin, he shouted: "You two fool."
"Why did you come?"
"I've just finished eating."
At the same time, Ye Lin also saw the rabbit trap that Liu Wei was holding. It was actually a thin wire, tied to a wooden stick at one end, with a buckle on the other end, and then the wire was made into a loop, and the wooden stick on the other end was tied.
The stick was stuck in the ground.
As long as the rabbit enters this wire trap, it can't escape, because the wire trap has a live buckle. The harder it struggles, the tighter the wire trap will be. In the end, it can only be trapped by the wire trap?
"You idiot, what is this? A mousetrap? But why is this mousetrap so big?"
"Because this is a trap for trapping rabbits." Ye Lin looked at Liu Wei as if he were an idiot, because this was more in line with his demented look.
Sure enough, seeing Ye Lin's expression, Liu Wei shook his head and said, "Okay then."
After another ten minutes, four or five people came out of the courtyard one after another. Everyone, like Liu Wei, was wearing a few wire nooses.
At this time, Li Ting also arrived. Seeing Li Ting coming, Ye Lin pulled Liu Wei and said, "I'm bringing someone else with me."
"Who!"
"She!" Ye Lin pointed at Li Ting.
She is beautiful and popular everywhere, even if she is just a little girl. Following Ye Lin's finger, Liu Wei saw Li Ting and agreed without saying a word.
Ye Lin and the others are not the only ones who want to trap rabbits in the suburbs. There is also another child from a large courtyard, who is similar to them. The oldest is only thirteen or fourteen years old, and the youngest is about the same age as Ye Lin.
The two large courtyards are relatively far apart, not even an alley. Ye Lin and his friends are in Xijiaomin Lane, and the other large courtyard is in Qianhongjing Hutong. Of course, the distance is only relative, in fact it is only one or two hundred meters.
After the two groups met, they rushed to the suburbs. They first walked west along Xijiaomin Lane to North Xinhua Street, then headed north from North Xinhua Street, crossed Chang'an Street, and took Fuyou Road.
When you get to Xi'anmen Street, turn west and then go north until you reach Di'anmen West Street. Cross Di'anmen West Street and come to Deshengmen Inner Street. Going forward, you will find Deshengmen.
Passing through Deshengmen is the suburbs.
After arriving in the suburbs, these guys were like tigers released from the cage and eagles released, and at this time, Ye Lin was separated from them.
There was no way, not only because Ye Lin also brought Li Ting with him, but also because everyone had different tools.
They use a condom to trap a rabbit. The condom must be placed on the rabbit's only path. Of course, I don't know whether it is the rabbit's only path.
Ye Lin used a clip, which would not work if placed on the road, and it would easily injure people. Therefore, if he was looking for a rabbit's nest, it was best to place the clip next to the rabbit's nest.
"Ye Lin, why don't we go with them?" Li Ting asked when she saw everyone else leaving.
"Let's go together. They are going to set up a trap. They will come back after the trap is finished."
"Oh." Li Ting nodded in understanding.
This is a suburb, and crops are planted everywhere. Because there is no food to eat, many small animals come out to look for food.
The same goes for rabbits, so before coming here, Ye Lin took a steamed bun from home, and it was a white-flour steamed bun. If others knew that he used white-flour buns to catch rabbits, I don't know what they would think.
You know, no one could eat this white flour steamed bun, but he actually gave it to the rabbit.
But Ye Lin didn't care. First, he had no shortage of white flour. Second, if the rabbit really ate his white flour steamed buns, it would mean that he had rabbit meat.
"Hey, the grass here is better." Half an hour later, Ye Lin and Li Ting came to a ditch.
As the saying goes, rabbits don't eat grass near their nests. If there is a place where grass grows better, there will be a rabbit nest nearby.
"What's wrong Ye Lin?"
"It seems like there is a rabbit nest here."
"Ah! Where is it?" After Li Ting finished speaking, she was ready to look for it.
"Wait a minute." Ye Lin quickly stopped her.
"What's the matter?"
"Don't scare them. Just stand there and don't move. I'll trap them."
"oh."
Ye Lin quickly opened the clip and placed it in the grass below, then put a piece of white steamed bun on it and pulled Li Ting away.
More than half an hour later, Ye Lin took off the remaining five clamps and took Li Ting to find a shady place to wait for Liu Wei and the others.
"When will they come back?" After waiting for a while, Li Ting seemed a little impatient. She originally wanted to go out to play with Ye Lin, but now she is waiting for someone here.
"I'll be back after setting up the trap." Ye Lin didn't know when they would be back.
Because there are too many people, it is impossible to set the trap in one place, and it will definitely go a long way. In this case, it is really hard to say when we can come back.
"oh."
Ye Lin also saw that Li Ting was impatient, so he said: "Let's go, let's wait while we finish."
"Yeah." Li Ting nodded repeatedly.
Li Ting may have never been to the suburbs, but she seemed to feel new about everything, especially crops. Although Ye Lin had never farmed in her previous life, she still had some understanding of crops.
"What's this?"
"This is corn."
"What about this?"
"Soybeans."
"what about this?"
"Sesame."
"..."
"..."
Li Ting asked one question, and Ye Lin told her one without any impatience. Although these crops had just grown, Ye Lin still recognized them at a glance, all thanks to his photographic memory.
It wasn't until around five o'clock in the afternoon that Liu Wei and his group came back. The condoms in each of their hands were gone. They must have all been removed.
When setting a rabbit trap, you need to do it the day before and collect it the next morning. Although rabbits come out during the day, they are rare and most of them come out at night.
It is quite dark at night, so when rabbits come out, they will walk along the paths that have been trodden by passers-by. Because the paths that have been trodden by people are illuminated by the moon at night, they look white. They will walk like this just like people walking at night.
"You idiot, you've finished all your traps." Liu Wei came over and asked.
"Well, it's over."
"How about it?"
"have no idea."
"Then let's go."
"good."
Not walking far, they arrived at the place where Ye Lin lowered the clamp. Ye Lin just took a casual look, and his eyes immediately lit up because he saw a rabbit on the clamp he lowered, and it was a rabbit caught in the clamp.
.
Ye Lin planted the trap so secretly that only he could find it. Even if Li Ting planted it with him, she probably wouldn't be able to find it now if Li Ting searched for it.
