The other three boys are his cousin He Qi, nicknamed Tiedan, and He Lin, nicknamed Gangdan.
The two girls are also cousins in their family. The 9-year-old cousin is called Yingzi and the 7-year-old cousin is called Lanhua.
It must be because the adults in these families interact closely on weekdays, so the children play together.
Among the children, Hu Zi was the most lively. He chattered all the way, just like a little bull in the community.
Following the children's guidance, Bai Guoguo came to a forest with many dead trees. This area was full of red pine trees. The firewood they picked up were all pine branches, which were easier to ignite. The disadvantage was that they were not very durable.
The children were not idle either. Each of them carried their own small backpack and was collecting firewood.
Don’t be fooled by their small size. Children who often run in the mountains are very strong. They don’t complain of being tired even when their small backpacks are full.
Thinking about the spoiled children decades later, Bai Guoguo couldn't help but sigh again.
Children nowadays are really able to endure hardships. Their parents work hard outside, and basically every family has the older children taking care of the younger ones. Not to mention being picky about food, they probably don’t even have enough to eat sometimes. It’s really sad to think about it.
"Comrades, our firewood is almost gone, and we've also gathered some wild leeks. How about setting up a trap with me to catch some pheasants? But does our production brigade allow individuals to catch game privately?"
Bai Guoguo thought that he had experimented with it before. The spiritual spring water in the space was attractive to animals. If he used it to soak a few grains of corn as bait, he should be able to catch pheasants or rabbits.
As for large animals, there should be none around here, and just two grains of corn won't attract any large animals.
She had experimented with chickens and rabbits before traveling through time. The spring water had a certain appeal to small animals, but not a lot, and it couldn't attract large animals.
Besides, safety was the most important thing when traveling with children, so she only planned to use two or three grains of corn soaked in spring water as bait.
This reduces the risk to a minimum.
"Well, as long as the number isn't particularly large, the team doesn't care. But we've already told you that the pheasants and rabbits here are very sharp. You still don't believe it and insist on trying it. We really can't help you, so let us accompany you to try it!"
Little Tiger crossed his arms and shook his head, sighing like a little adult, with an expression that said, "There's really nothing I can do about you."
People in the village often set traps in the woods, but not many people can catch wild game.
Only people with exceptional skills like his great-grandmother, his father, and his second uncle could hunt wild game frequently.
This Sister Bai has thin arms and legs. You can tell at first glance that she is not a martial artist. It would be strange if she could catch up with pheasants and rabbits.
That little look made Bai Guoguo laugh so hard that she couldn't help but pinch his little face with a smile. It felt really good.
The other children also covered their mouths and laughed secretly. They didn't quite believe that this weak and fragile educated youth sister could catch wild game.
"Hmph, let's just wait and see. Don't let your jaw drop when the time comes!"
Bai Guoguo snorted, then borrowed the small hoe Tiedan used to dig wild vegetables. He found a place with pheasant footprints and dug a small trap.
Since Xiao Huzi said it's not easy to catch pheasants with a trap, why not just dig a trap, it just takes a little more effort.
Her trap was more than one meter deep. There were several sharpened branches at the bottom of the pit, and a branch above the pit supported several branches tied together.
There are several thin branches supporting the surface of the tree roots, and some weeds and leaves are scattered on it for cover. On the weeds and leaves are two or three corn kernels soaked in spiritual spring water.
In this way, a simple trap is made. Later, whenever a pheasant or a hare comes to eat corn, it will jump into the trap.
The thin branches above will not be able to support the weight of the pheasant or rabbit and will break. At that time, the prey will fall into the trap, and the branches and leaves above the small branch on the trap will fall down.
Even if the small branches in the trap cannot kill the prey, the branches and leaves above can ensure that the prey in the trap cannot escape in a short time. Then Bai Guoguo and the children can come and take away the spoils.
This simple trap is a familiar one to me. I saw it while watching short videos in the 21st century. I thought it was interesting at the time, so I watched it several times. I didn't expect it to come in handy now.
After setting up the trap, Bai Guoguo took the children to a distant place and arranged for everyone to climb up a relatively thick tree and sit down.
She also climbed up a tree by herself. Of course, he checked before climbing the tree and made sure there were no snakes or insects on it before letting everyone climb up.
Linquan water is indeed attractive to small animals. Not long after, Bai Guoguo heard movement coming from the trap.
Hearing the sound was the call of a pheasant, she asked the children to stay in the tree and not come down. She quickly slid down the tree and ran to the other side of the trap to check.
This sight made her very happy. She saw three pheasants flapping their wings in the trap. She quickly took a stick and knocked the pheasants unconscious with a few hits.
Fortunately, several chickens were injured by the sharpened branches when they fell into the trap, otherwise when Bai Guoguo was hitting a pheasant, the other two would have run away.
As for now, it can only fall into Bai Guoguo's hands obediently.
Bai Guoguo picked up the three pheasants in his hand and looked at them. One of the roosters had a particularly beautiful tail, and two of the hens had gray tails.
The pheasants in spring already have a lot of meat, and they are quite heavy to carry.
Bai Guoguo tied the pheasant's wings with vines, quickly dug the soil from the trap with his feet and filled the pit, then left quickly.
