When Haizi saw that Monroe was determined to hunt birds, he knew that he would definitely not be able to stop her. Even the second master Yun had to give way to the somewhat willful fifth lady of the Yun family, and the old lady of the Yun family loved Monroe even more. , Haizi of course has to follow her.
"After a while, I will go to the middle of the field to set the clamp for you. You lead the horse and help me press the roller back and forth. After I set the clamp, I will mark the two sides of the clamp with soil clods. When you walk the bird, you will put the two piles of soil between them. Walk in the middle.
When I lowered the trap, I placed a plate of traps two ridges apart. If I were too close, I might catch one bird and scare the rest away. When you are skating, you have to run to the edge of the field and slide into the middle of the field, whistling as you slide.
Yes, you probably can't whistle. In this way, you can move forward slowly and don't be too hasty. When you see the bird going up the mound, you go up. If the bird goes down, you go down, trying to make the bird go in the direction of the clamp.
Remember, let the birds go against the wind. If there are many birds in the downwind direction, you can go around and drive them back, and then let them go against the wind. This will make it easier to move the birds to the place where the clip is placed and capture the birds. "
"Why?" Monroe stared at Haizi with confused eyes.
"It's very simple. When the wind blows, the tail and feathers of the bird will lift up. The bird will not be able to walk steadily, so the bird will walk against the wind. Isn't there a saying that it is called walking a bird against the wind and peeing with the wind... Pee?"
This common saying that came out of his mouth suddenly made Haizi feel embarrassed, so he immediately stopped talking and just lowered his head to eat.
'Walking the bird against the wind, peeing against the wind... pee? Monroe was still a little puzzled, but it was inconvenient to ask more questions. She felt that Yu Yuehai not only studied well since childhood, but also knew so much common sense in life. She thought that he must be a promising young man in the future.
After the meal, Haizi handed the wheel pulled by the horse into Monroe's hands and told her not to walk too fast and not to go in front of the horse, but to walk to the left of the horse and try to synchronize with the horse.
Then Haizi went to unclip Monroe, and the big black dog also ran with Haizi wagging its tail. But when they got there, the black dog was still dishonest and would chase after the birds from time to time. It was really like a silly dog chasing birds away.
After Haizi finished placing the trap, he happened to catch up with Monroe leading his horse from the other end of the field to the middle of the field. Haizi took the reins from Monroe and told her: "Pull the bird from the west end of the field to the east end of the field. Make the bird fly past the mark of the lower clip, and then go around the clip far away and start from the east end." Start walking toward the front of the clip.”
"Shouldn't this be a lap?"
"Yes, the wind blowing today is from the northwest, so you have to move from east to west. Doesn't it mean that you should fight against the wind?" After saying this, Haizi smiled unnaturally on his face.
An unnatural blush appeared on Monroe's face, and she murmured: "You have to look at me, I'm a little scared by myself."
Haizi nodded. Watching Monroe leading the black dog towards the west end of the land, he led the horse and continued to press the roller.
The spring sun is warm, and it tickles people's bodies, making it very comfortable. Mist is steaming from the entire black land, and it seems that there is nothing floating on the earth.
A faint green appeared on the distant meadow, and puddles of puddles flashed brightly in the wilderness. From time to time, the melodious chirping of birds can be heard in the distance, and together with the occasional squeaking of the roller, it seems peaceful and dignified.
Haizi turned her head from time to time and looked at Monroe in the distance and the black dog walking behind her. She thought to herself that Monroe shouldn't have brought the dog too, as it would scare the birds away. Can she catch the birds? ?
Suddenly, he heard Monroe screaming: "There's a wolf!" Haizi immediately looked for the sound of the scream. Sure enough, a gray-green wild wolf flashed out from a tuft of withered yellow grass, bigger than a black dog. .
"Run!" Haizi urged Monroe, who was already running towards him, and also ran towards Monroe quickly. When Haizi pulled Monroe staggeringly to the horse, the wolf was still lingering in the distance.
However, the wild wolf still hesitantly approached Haizi and Monroe. Haizi quickly untied the wooden stick tied to the beam of the roller, hugged Monroe behind him, and confronted the wild wolf in the distance.
At this time, no matter what kind of work the farmers were doing, they had to carry a self-defense tool with them. Even when you sleep at night, you have to prepare a self-defense guy under the edge of the kang next to the door, because it was an era when bandits were rampant and jackals often appeared.
"We can't light fires, and there are no firecrackers. What can we do if we can't scare away the wild wolves?" Monroe said as she got closer to Haizi, and both of them felt each other's beating heartbeat. The old horse also raised its ears in fear, and its legs were still trembling slightly.
"We can't run. The more we run, the more it chases us. We just stand like this, and it doesn't dare to come forward." Haizi explained, "If you beat the wolf with a stick, both sides will be afraid." '
Sure enough, the wild wolf was just spinning around in place, not daring to get close. It just stretched its neck in the direction of Haizi and the others, looked around, sniffed, and howled in a low voice from time to time, as if it was calling for something.
Suddenly, the big black dog next to him also became restless, spinning in circles with his tail between his legs, and growled in response to the howling of the wild wolf. While chirping in a low voice, he paced in the direction of the wild wolf, and gradually ran in the direction of the wild wolf. The wolf also walked towards the black dog, pawing forward and backward.
"Hei Niu, come back quickly! The wolf bites you... Come back, Hei Niu!" Monroe shouted while pulling Haizi's clothes tighter. She did not dare to stop the black dog from approaching the wild wolf.
"Let me go, just stand here, hold the horse, and I'll fight the wolf away." Haizi raised the wooden stick and walked towards the wolf while shouting, intending to scare the wild wolf away. .
At this time, the black dog and the wild wolf had run together. The strange thing was that they did not bite each other, but sniffed each other and rubbed their ears and temples together. Then, the big bad wolf tried to climb on the black dog. At first, the black dog dodges, but then he let it do its bidding.
At this time, Haizi understood everything. He slowly turned around and came to Monroe. When their eyes met, the two of them showed dumbfounding expressions. It turned out that the wolf was coming for the black girl.
"Shouldn't have brought it out." Monroe muttered to herself, still staring in the direction of the wolf and dog. When Haizi looked back at Monroe again, Monroe's face turned red and she lowered her head, not daring to look directly at Haizi.
When work was done at noon, the two walked back to the village together. Monroe was carrying a basket, which contained more than a dozen birds caught in the morning: "Otherwise, he would have come back a long time ago. This prodigal dog has been running away for most of the day." Monroe said to Haizi.
Haizi said nothing, turned to look at Monroe, and smiled awkwardly. The big black dog shuttled back and forth excitedly. This morning it was the happiest, even with the joy of a winner.
