The Reborn Wife is Farming

Chapter 142 Ambition

Mu Yangling led them all the way into the mountain, and some rabbits ran not far from them, Qi Haoran jumped up to catch them without thinking, and finally grabbed one with his left and right hands, and looked at Mu Yangling ostentatiously, "How about it?" , Grandpa is amazing."

Mu Yangling asked him, "Didn't you find anything along the way?"

Fan Zijin said, "There are too many rabbits."

Qi Haoran frowned slightly, looked left and right, and finally looked down at the grass at his feet. Fan Zijin followed his gaze and frowned slightly.

This is the time when everything is recovering, but most of the green grass on the ground has been eaten up, and some of the grass stems have been dug up.

The two brothers looked at each other and asked Mu Yangling together, "What's going on?"

"That's what you saw. You have heard of the locust plague, but you must have never heard of the rabbit plague, right? This is the rabbit plague."

Qi Haoran and Fan Zijin's eyes widened, "Can rabbits be a disaster?"

"There are too many things. It is a disaster that exceeds the limit of the environment. My father and I had a premonition before the winter, so we took people from Linshan Village into the mountains to hunt, but we didn't expect the situation to be worse than we imagined. It's even more serious, now that spring has just begun, the rabbits in the forest have already gnawed to the outside, and in a month or two, there will be no grass to eat in the forest, and the rabbits can only go down the mountain, and our crops will be at the bottom of the mountain."

When it comes to military rations, Qi Haoran and Fan Zijin immediately became serious.

Mu Yangling said again: "Besides, the flood of wild rabbits in the forest will definitely affect other animals. I am worried that the food chain in Chushan will be destroyed. This is a major event for Xingzhou Prefecture that will affect future generations."

Qi Haoran asked, "What is the food chain?"

"Big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat dried shrimps. In the forest, fierce beasts eat small animals, small animals eat herbivores, and herbivores eat grass. Now the grass is all eaten by rabbits, and other herbivores must not survive. Space, carnivores can eat rabbits now, but once the rabbit disaster is over, how many rabbits will tigers have to catch to fill their stomachs? And deer, wild boars and other herbivores may have died in this disaster, and their numbers have plummeted..."

Fan Zijin nodded, "I understand, the bottom layer affects the top layer, and this kind of influence will become more serious as time goes by."

Mu Yangling nodded.

Qi Haoran waved his hand and said: "That's not easy, just catch all the rabbits?" Qi Haoran drooled and said, "I like to eat rabbit meat whether it's stewed, braised, or roasted. "

Fan Zijin and Mu Yangling's faces were full of black lines, they looked at him and said, "Can you catch so many rabbits?"

Mu Yangling took Qi Haoran to see how many rabbits there were in the forest.

"Actually, rabbits are nocturnal animals. There are relatively few rabbits that come out to move around now. It may be because there is not enough grass. There are so many rabbits that appear during the day recently. I used to catch rabbits either by digging holes or setting traps." Harvest the next day, because of the traps set during the day, when the rabbits come out to move around at night, you can more or less catch some of them.”

Mu Yangling carefully led the two of them to move in the forest, watched several groups of rabbits, and finally said: "Now you understand? If you can catch half of the rabbits, I will admire you very much."

Mu Yangling squatted on the grass and said worryingly: "Let's go, what do we do if we catch the rabbit? We certainly can't eat so much by ourselves. Even if we take it to Fucheng and several nearby counties, they can't consume it. The rabbit skin is okay, you can Keep it, but now that the weather is getting hotter, the rabbit meat can't be kept.

A light flashed in Fan Zijin's eyes, and he looked at the two of them and said, "If you have a way to catch the rabbit, I will have a way to dispose of the rabbit meat and rabbit skin." Fan Zijin looked at Qi Haoran seriously and said, "Don't you still owe me the money?" Do the Sun family and the Zhao family have a lot of money and food? We have to find a way to pay it back, right?"

Qi Haoran and Mu Yangling were taken aback, and shouted in unison: "You wouldn't be so unscrupulous, would you use rabbit meat and rabbit skin?"

Fan Zijin rolled his eyes at the two of them, and said, "I think so, but do you think they are so stupid?"

Seeing that there were only the three of them and countless rabbits in the dark, Fan Zijin said, "Hao Ran, do you still remember that on the way we came to find my cousin, a kind peasant woman gave us a pack of jerky?"

Qi Haoran nodded again and again, "Remember, she is the only good person besides Mu Yangling, but the jerky she gave was too little, not enough to fit my teeth, and she made a mistake when she gave us directions at the end. ..."

Fan Zijin's head was full of black lines, "Okay, just remember, I mean that jerky is rabbit jerky, something that even you and I think is delicious, you think others will not find it delicious, and it's easy to keep it , I have long felt that we should not put all our hopes on the harvest of the field. As Mu Yangling said, farming depends on the face of God. If God does not give face this year, will we not live? You can force the Sun family and the Zhao family to borrow food once, but can you always force them to pay? So we have to find other ways."

Fan Zijin's eyes shone like stars, and he clenched his fists and said, "Mu Yangling, you think this is a disaster, but I think it's an opportunity given to us by the heavens. Haoran lacks everything under his command, except people. The young, the timid, the foolhardy, the treacherous, the disabled, the old, and even those who sneaked into the barracks under the age of twelve. Aren't you worried that those old, weak, and disabled people are not easy to house? Hand them over to me, the Lord can not only arrange them well, but also make you no longer have to worry about the debts of the Sun family and the Zhao family."

Qi Haoran and Mu Yangling looked at him dumbfounded, and finally Qi Haoran jumped up and hugged him, shouting: "My good brother, I will give you as many people as you want, and tell me what you want to do, I will give you all." It must be done for you."

Mu Yangling stammered: "You, why don't you do some market research or something?"

Qi Haoran looked at her with contempt, "There is nothing that Zijin said he couldn't do, so why do you need to do market research? By the way, what is market research?"

Mu Yangling: "..."

Mu Yangling ignored Qi Haoran, and asked Fan Zijin seriously, "Then what do you think I can do?" Regardless of whether their things can be sold in the end, anyway, if the rabbit is caught, the crops in the field will be saved.

Fan Zijin looked at Qi Haoran and said, "We are not familiar with hunting, and most of the soldiers below are from farmers."

"There are quite a few Orion in Xingzhou Prefecture, and my father is one," Mu Yangling said after a pause, "However, it seems that all Orion were picked to go to other battalions, and only my father is Orion in the fifth battalion."

Qi Haoran's face was dark, and he said angrily: "I'll go to my elder brother tomorrow and ask him to transfer me a soldier who was an Orion before."

This time, neither Fan Zijin nor Mu Yangling objected. They nodded together, and Mu Yangling even said: "The general loves you so much, as long as you hang around him for a little longer, he will definitely agree."
