Chapter 328 White Rabbit Fur Cape
Zhou Guo happily followed the old man out the door, and Zhou Su watched eagerly from behind, wanting to go too.
Zhou Mai touched his head and said, "It's too cold outside, and you're so young, it's inconvenient for your sister to take care of you. Let's wait for her in the house. You haven't eaten roasted venison yet, right? I tell you it's delicious. I ate a big piece last time."
The snow fell in the middle of the night. The ground outside was half an inch thick, but the forest was not yet covered with snow.
Zhou Guo separated from the old man as soon as they entered the woods. They each went in a different direction and agreed to meet at the foot of the mountain.
The old man is now relieved about his young disciple walking alone in the mountains. Although his martial arts skills are not very good, the kid is very strong. Even if he uses only 50% of his strength, the power is greater than that of his full strength. As long as he doesn't encounter a blind bear or a big tiger, it will be fine.
Zhou Guo was chewing fried beans while looking around. Not far away, she met a rabbit. She didn't want it at first because there were so many little rabbits at home and they could only eat hay every day. Fortunately, there was enough hay and many kinds of hay, but it was only enough for a few of them. More than that would not be enough.
But the rabbit was white, pure white. She wanted a pure white cloak, but she had only four rabbit skins saved up. If it came right to her, she had to take it.
He jumped forward quietly and grabbed the white rabbit in his hand. He saw a flash of white light out of the corner of his eye and immediately looked up. Another white rabbit ran away from behind the tree.
Two white rabbits, her white fur rabbit cloak now has two more skins!
After catching two white rabbits, she was no longer in a hurry to look for deer, but instead focused on catching rabbits. As for the old man, one deer was enough. If there were more, Zhou Xing and the others would have to raise them again.
Rabbits live in nests, with a whole family living in one hole. There may be more than 80 rabbits or as few as five or six.
But she came here today specifically to catch white rabbits. She would smoke out a whole nest of them, so she would only catch the big ones. If the rabbits were still small, she would put them all back.
After wandering around the forest for two hours and digging up more than a dozen nests, there were six white rabbits in total, including the two I had before. Six plus the four I had before should be enough to make a cloak, right? If not, it won't be too far off.
There are also four black rabbits. Which brother wants the black rabbit cloak?
Never mind, just take it with you, there are very few black rabbits.
The others were either gray rabbits or mixed-hair ones, but they were quite big, and there were about seven or eight of them.
She had to tie up the legs of so many rabbits with ropes. It seemed that she would have to carry a backpack next time she went into the mountains. Although so many rabbits were not heavy, they took up a lot of space. It was not convenient to carry them all. She could only carry them one by one in a bunch, but the rabbits would twist around.
She had no choice but to hold a bunch of rabbits in each hand and swing them around in circles. She spun for a long time before stopping. The rabbits were motionless and were dizzy.
Now everything is quiet.
She walked around the forest for more than half an hour, holding a string of rabbits in each hand, but she didn't even see the shadow of a deer. She did see a lot of rabbits, pheasants and squirrels.
Her stomach was rumbling and she had finished all the fried beans, so she had to go down the mountain.
I hope there will be some harvest from the master, otherwise they can only roast rabbits. Mutton would be good too. Oh, it would be great to have some yellow mutton to eat someday. I heard that yellow mutton doesn’t smell at all.
From a distance, he saw the old man sitting on the ground, holding a wine gourd in one hand and throwing something into his mouth with the other. Zhou Guo was delighted and ran over there with two bunches of rabbits in his hand, "Master, Master, you came out so quickly, did you catch a deer?"
The old man turned around and looked at her. Seeing that she was carrying so many rabbits, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "You caught all these in three hours?"
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "Yes, I am still short of a few skins for my white rabbit fur cape. Look, I caught so many today. I picked all these rabbits out from the rabbit holes. They are smoked and would be a waste if not used up. I picked the big ones and made them into cured rabbits when I go back. They are also delicious when stewed with radishes."
After saying that, he turned around and looked around. He saw a deer hanging with its head hanging on a big tree in front of him on the left. It weighed about 70 to 80 kilograms. He said in surprise, "I really caught it. Master, you are so amazing! You really caught it as soon as you said you would!"
You know, deer are not easy to catch. In the few months since they came here, they spent almost every day in the woods, but they only caught two deer in total.
One of them was caught by chance when it encountered a group of deer drinking water by the pond. Unfortunately, since then, no other animals have gone to the pond to drink water. Perhaps they smelled the presence of humans.
The old man was a little proud, "Of course, don't you see what I do? I have been hunting all my life, and I have practiced my skills all my life, but I can't catch a deer."
He stood up and took the deer down from the tree. "Let's go back. Why did it take you so long to catch a few rabbits? I thought I could go back early, but I waited for you for so long and didn't eat anything. My stomach is already empty."
Zhou Guo apologized, "I was wrong. I just wanted a white rabbit skin cloak, but I got so obsessed with catching rabbits that it took so long before I came to my senses."
The old man didn't quite understand why she was so persistent in wanting a white rabbit fur cape. "I don't understand. Anyway, the fur is sewn inside, and the cloth is draped outside. Others can't see it. It doesn't matter whether it's gray or white. At most, you can just add a circle of white on the edge. Why does it need to be completely white?"
Zhou Guo said, "Master, you don't understand. In fact, I want a white fox fur cloak, but it can't be made like this. As a second choice, I can only choose rabbit fur. Although it is not of the same grade, it is white after all. This is every girl's dream."
Although I can't make it as luxurious as Lin Daiyu's white fox fur, it would be nice to have a white one.
The old man stopped and looked her up and down for a few times, his eyes finally stopped at her hair, and after a while he said: "You are still a girl, I almost forgot."
After saying that, he walked away shaking his head.
Zhou Guo slowly opened his mouth and raised his hand to touch his head. His hair had grown out and could be tied into a high bun. By this time next year, it would definitely reach his ears.
Although it is a bit ugly, it is really convenient. You can wash your hair once a day in summer and it will dry in a short time.
Unlike Zhou Xing’s hair, which was very troublesome to wash, she didn’t care anymore after she figured it out.
The snow had stopped by now, and the thickest part of the snow on the road was an inch thick.
When I got home, the rice cakes were almost done, with only a few finishing touches left.
When Zhou Guo saw the large sieve of rice cakes, his eyes lit up. He put down his things, washed his hands, picked up a piece and started eating. Mm, it was sweet and sticky. "Delicious!"
The old man next to him was not polite either. He started eating without even washing his hands.
