203. Chapter 203 Fire Attack Badger’s Nest


Chapter 203 Fire attack on the badger's nest

Soon, Jingjing entered the house.

"Brother! My sister-in-law burned her feet. Xiaoyu came to our house just now to borrow badger seed oil! I told him that we don't have badger seed oil at home, but you can go up the mountain to pick out badger seeds for her tomorrow! "Jingjing said to Yue Feng who had just woken up.

"Huh? What? Who burned their feet?" Yue Feng scratched his head and didn't react for a while.

"My sister-in-law Xiaona! Wang Mingyu came over and told me just now! This is a good opportunity for you to show off! My sister-in-law must have given you the opportunity on purpose, you have to seize it!"

Emotional intelligence is indeed something you are born with. Jingjing is only seven years old, but he can penetrate people's hearts and see the essence directly through phenomena.

"What's wrong? Jingjing, what are you and your brother muttering about?" Meng Yulan heard the brother and sister muttering and asked.

"Wang Mingyu came over just now and said..." Jingjing repeated it again.

"Er smash, your little sister is right about this, you have to go!"

After Meng Yulan heard this, she judged the same as Jingjing, this is a chance.

Badger seed oil is indeed a good thing for treating burns, but there are hundreds of households in Xing'an Village. Wang Xiaona's father is the village secretary and wants to get some badger seed oil. Several hunters in the village may have some stock at home, but Wang Xiaona just asked her younger brother to come to Yue Feng for help. This was almost a sign, and it really gave Yue Feng a chance.

Yue Feng nodded: "Okay, after dinner I'll ask Xiaowen and the others if they know where there is a badger hole, and I'll pick up some badgers and come back tomorrow!"

"Also If you want to eat something, ask first and then eat it when you get it! If you don’t care about your own affairs, you’re screwed!”

Meng Yulan was not satisfied with her son’s somewhat Buddhist behavior and felt that his son’s attitude was a bit too much. Too cold.

"Okay, okay, I'm going now!" Yue Feng nodded, put on a thick cotton-padded jacket, held his arms tightly, and left the house.

When we arrived at Xiaowen's house, the card game in the east room of Xiaowen's house had not ended yet, but brothers Xiaowen and Xiaowu were both at home. The family of three was eating, a pot of wild boar stewed with potatoes, and a plate of tofu mixed with green onions. The food was not bad.

"Brother, have you eaten? Eat something first?" Xiaowen asked, while getting Yue Feng chopsticks.

"No need to work, I'm here to ask you two if you know where the badger hole is! Xiaona let the boiling water scald her feet, please let me give her some badger oil!"

There is a lot of information in this sentence. After hearing this, Xiaowen and his brother looked at each other and were quite excited.

"Brother...you and Wang Xiaona..." Xiaowen hesitated to speak.

Yue Feng nodded: "There is a twist in the horoscope, but it hasn't been decided yet! Don't ask around for now. If you know something, tell me something cool. If you don't know, I'll go to Uncle Zhao's house and ask!"

Xiaowen replied: "Outside Fang'an Village, there is a nest of badgers at the river stall near the Muling River in the northwest! Xiaowu and I planned to dig out oil and eat meat in the autumn, but later we went to fly eagles. I just don’t care! I just don’t know if anyone else has picked it up. If not, it should still be there.” Try it! ”

“Okay! Badgers are not a rare thing. If there aren’t any there, let’s look upstream along the river, and we’ll find half a nest of them! It’s easy for me, just don’t worry!

When will I eat your wedding candy? If it’s my brother Feng who does the serious work, I’ll find a good sister-in-law for my brothers.”< br>


"Go, go, are you kidding me? Be careful, I'll deal with you!" Yue Feng's face felt hot due to Xiaowen's shame, and he waved his hands irritably.

"Haha, you are all old men, brother, are you still blushing? Does our old uncle know this? What's his attitude?" Xiaowen knew that Yue Feng would definitely not hit him, so he continued to gossip.

"What are you asking about? I'm leaving. You guys can eat. Remember to go to my house early tomorrow morning and bring your pickaxe!"

Yue Feng ran away.

Early the next morning, brothers Xiaowen and Xiaowu arrived at Yue Feng's house on time, fully armed.

This badger's status is actually about the same as that of pheasants and rabbits in the fields. Even because this guy is more harmful to crops, his status is even lower in the eyes of farmers. It's the kind where everyone yells and beats a rat when it crosses the street.

They are omnivores. They dig burrows and live in groups. They are active at night in summer and autumn. They eat a lot of food and accumulate fat crazily. When the temperature cools down in winter, they are in a state similar to bears deep in the cave. hibernation state, relying on accumulated fat to survive the winter.

Brothers Xiaowen and Xiaowu, one held a round-headed shovel and the other a pickaxe. Xiaotao brought over from home a large iron tong used to kill New Year pigs and clamp pig legs. The four brothers The man left the village with murderous intent and headed straight for the badger nest Xiaowen discovered in autumn.

Logically speaking, digging out badgers is usually done before the snow falls in autumn. In winter, the ground is frozen solid, making it extremely laborious and difficult to dig holes.

But now it’s time to rush the ducks to put it on the shelves. The must-do tasks announced by Lao Zhangzhangzijia have to be done even if they are difficult.

When Xiaowen took Yue Feng and the others to their destination, they looked around and stopped at a hidden cave entrance.

“The entrance to the cave is quite complete, and no one should have touched this nest of badgers!” Xiaowen said with certainty. Yue Feng also observed around the entrance of the cave. There were no footprints on the surrounding snow, but the area near the entrance of the cave was still fresh and clean, and it was not completely covered by snow.

Badgers in a semi-hibernating state also need to breathe deep in the hole. After the hole is covered, the oxygen concentration will definitely be affected, so the badger cleans the hole after snow Maintain certain ventilation habits.

"Look for other exits around, block them all, and let's start!" Yue Feng greeted.

"Brother, it doesn't have to be so troublesome to pick out badger seeds. Just dig with a pickaxe and dig to the bottom, and you will naturally find the badger seeds!"

Xiaowu thought Yue Feng didn't know how to pick out badger seeds. So I would like to explain a few words in particular.

Yue Feng smiled and shook his head: "It's freezing cold here. If you want to dig with a pickaxe, just listen to me. I have a trick for this! Find all the entrances of the caves first. Block it, leave this main entrance, use a pickaxe to enlarge the hole, and then look at my magic weapon!"

"Okay, it's up to you!"

The brothers are all busy. Taking the active entrance as the center of the circle, I searched around within a radius of about ten meters, and soon found two more suspected exits.

After all the entrances to the cave were blocked, the brothers followed Yue Feng's request and expanded the main entrance to almost half a meter wide.

The ground was frozen hard. Digging holes was really not a good job. The brothers took turns digging with pickaxes. Every time they went down, only a little bit of dirt came down. It was obviously not a big size. , it took more than an hour to expand the cave entrance to the size required by Yue Feng.

After making preparations, Yue Feng took out an iron cage containing two domestic mice from his satchel.

In order to catch these two live mice, Yue Feng worked hard last night. He fried peanuts with soybeans as bait, untied the black wolf, and squatted in the warehouse for half a night. We just caught these two big mice, which means that the black wolf is smart and knows that his master wants to survive. If it were any other dog, he would probably die if caught.

Yue Feng put on his gloves, took out a live mouse from the cage, and then tied a piece of cloth on the tail with a wire. He wrapped three layers of cloth inside and three outside with pineapple red pepper and tied it tightly with wire. Then the kindling was lit.

As mentioned before, the pine seeds are soaked in pine oil, so they are very easy to ignite. After the ignition is completed, they burn immediately. While burning, they are accompanied by a large amount of black smoke and a pungent smell of pine oil.

Yue Feng stared at the fire starter and immediately stuffed the mouse into the badger's hole.

The mouse, whose tail was on fire, broke free from human restraints and saw its familiar cave. Without hesitation, it dragged the pine tar into the hole.

This trick of fire attack on Badger Zidong Yue Feng used it repeatedly in his previous life. Later, when he had the opportunity, he even used a bait cage to catch big rats and raise them in advance.

There was a time in my memory when Yue Feng was already married. It was freezing outside and a few card buddies at home were playing cards. While a few fair friends were chatting, one of the card buddies said they had found a badger hole nearby. At the end of the meal, the brothers suddenly wanted to eat badger seeds and stewed radish. Yue Feng and others went there carrying the mouse cage.

It took less than two hours to bring them back. Seven badgers, two big and five small, were all neatly packed together by Yue Feng and the others. After they brought them back, in addition to eating stewed radish, everyone also had a lot to share. Badger meat.

From then on, whenever someone found a badger's nest, Yue Feng would lead people to search the house. Within dozens of miles around Xing'an Village, badgers were almost extinct.

When pine tar is wrapped in rags, strips of rags and other kindling materials, it burns very heavily. Rats are afraid and crawl into the hole and stick it out, causing the entire hole to be filled with choking smoke.

Smoke travels upwards. Rats are small, so they will definitely get into the depths of the cave. At this time, even if the bedroom where the badger hibernates is relatively hidden, it cannot escape the influence of smoke and fire. .

Burning pine tar will also ignite the wrapped chili peppers. The taste is so sour that no one can bear it, let alone a badger with an extremely keen sense of smell.

Within ten minutes, Yue Feng discovered that the three blocked cave entrances were starting to smoke from the cracks in the soil, so he asked his friends to block the main cave entrance and prepare in advance.

Soon, a badger about seven or eight pounds came out of the hole with smoking smoke on its back.

Yue Feng had quick eyes and quick hands. He rounded the stick in his hand and hit the badger on the back of the head. Badger didn't realize what was going on, so he just kicked his legs.

At this time, the effect of Yue Feng asking them to expand the width of the hole came out. People stood on both sides, and the badger came out of the hole. Before it showed up, it could be seen from the outside. When it came out, , hit the stick head-on, and pour it down directly. It is simple and rough, and the effect is good.

Xiao Tao, who was holding iron pliers next to him, immediately used the pliers to hold one of Badger's legs and drag it out. Xiaowen, who was next to him, directly took out the leg insert to bleed Badger and disembowel him. It was a one-stop service.

Just like that, like whack-a-mole, one came out, knocked over another, and four half-sized badgers were knocked down and placed in the snow.

Yue Feng took a closer look at the size of the four badgers and felt that there was something wrong. These four badgers were all little ones. Logically speaking, there should be at least one pair of the biggest badgers in a den. .

Could it be that there was another exit from the badger's nest, or that the big badger was smarter and temporarily blocked the bedroom with dirt after smelling the smoke?

Not seeing the real master, Yue Feng resorted to his second move! !

Two chapters of 6,000 words are completed, and there will be another chapter in the afternoon.

Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. I wish my parents, who live under the full moon, a happy reunion and everything goes well! !
