Even if Li Guanping were a blockhead, he would find it hard to resist a young and beautiful girl like Mi Xiaoqing.

From a distance, the two men were chatting while working, which made Wang Tianxiao very pleased.

The wife Li Guanping married in his previous life was no pushover. Moreover, it was later discovered that there were symptoms of epilepsy in Li Guanping's father-in-law's family, so it was highly likely that the child's epilepsy was inherited from a previous generation.

If it could be Mi Xiaoqing instead, that misfortune could be avoided.

In his previous life, Li Guanping was such a good person, but he was trapped in his child's epilepsy and suffered for most of his life.

When Wang Tianxiao arrived at the location where the nets were set up, he found that several sections of the nets were still empty, and no birds were trapped on them for the time being.

He initially thought that no birds were coming to eat the seeds, but after watching from a distance for a while, he found that some birds were still landing on the net, but the net did not seem to restrain the birds much.

They come and go as they please, as if they were on flat ground, without causing any disturbance.

This really frustrated Wang Tianxiao.

If a bird net can't be caught, it's generally because the mesh size is too large. But when he bought the net, he already chose the smallest mesh size. If the mesh size is still too large, then there probably won't be any other usable nets on the market.

Does this method simply not work?

He squatted by the field, chewing on a licorice root, and began to think.

He was certain that there was nothing wrong with this method of catching birds.

In my past life, whenever I was cultivating new seedlings, I would use a net to block off the surrounding area. If any birds tried to fly over, they would crash into the net and never be able to escape.

If you don't check it for a few days, the internet will be covered in dead birds.

But why isn't it working now?

The types of birds haven't changed much; they're mostly crows, magpies, blackbirds, sparrows, wild pigeons, winter cuckoos, and so on.

Honestly, I've been using a source-switching app to read and follow my favorite books lately. It offers various source switching options and different reading voices. The .huanyuanapp works on both Android and Apple devices.

It is a common bird species in Ziwu Ridge and many other mountains.

So, what's the difference?

He stared blankly as another bird landed in the net, and couldn't resist picking up a small stone and throwing it at the bird.

The stone was still some distance from the bird when it landed, startling the bird. The bird immediately spread its wings to fly, but after flapping its wings a few times, it still couldn't take off.

It could only emit a mournful "ga-ga" sound.

Wang Tianxiao was stunned for a moment, and then an idea flashed through his mind like lightning. He felt that he understood the reason.

The reason the bird's claws weren't tied is that birds gently put their claws into the holes and then slowly take them out, so the mesh doesn't affect their claws.

However, if suddenly startled, the bird's claws will not move straight up and down, but will be pulled away from the side, which will naturally get stuck in the mesh. If they continue to struggle, the mesh will only become tighter and tighter, eventually even tangling their heads and wings.

This explains why a net can catch birds when it's hanging in the air, but it's ineffective when placed on the ground.

The reason is that birds generally have poor eyesight when they are in the air. It is difficult for them to see the net clearly while flying at high speed. Once they plunge into it, they will subconsciously struggle, and eventually the more they struggle, the tighter it becomes, and they will be completely tied to it and unable to move.

That's the same principle as whether that crow or blackbird was just now.

If Wang Tianxiao hadn't disturbed it, it would definitely have turned around and left gracefully after eating its fill.

As a result, one careless move led to him becoming a bird caught in the net.

To verify his idea, Wang Tianxiao continued to stay near the net and tried several times. He found that apart from the sparrows, which were difficult to trap, the other birds were stuck to the net and could not escape.

Having learned from his successful experience, Wang Tianxiao then shared his methods with the others.

The group was worried, but after hearing this, they suddenly understood.

Everyone admired Wang Tianxiao's meticulousness.

But Wu Wenhua soon raised another question: if the birds have to be startled to get into the net, that would be troublesome, wouldn't it? Wouldn't it require someone to keep calling out to them?

Wang Tianxiao laughed and said, "Why do we need people? Don't we have ready-made reserve troops?"

Wu Wenhua was stunned, not understanding what it meant.
