Chapter 299 Harvest
Of course, there were the most birds in the wheat field and its vicinity at this time, so the two of them returned to the edge of the field, found a large tree, sat down under it, and then tied the fishing net to a stick.
Daji went to help them dig the hole.
The pit cannot be dug too deep to prevent it from being pulled down, nor can it be dug too shallow to prevent it from supporting the sticks and fishing nets.
As Daji was digging, he couldn't help but sigh sadly, feeling that this job was more troublesome than fighting.
Following the instructions of the young master and Miss Manbao, after digging three pits in three places, Daji tied his hands together and looked at them, not moving.
Manbao and Bai Shanbao worked hard to tie the fishing net, then dragged the stick to prop up the net, only to find that the net seemed a little heavy.
So the two children raised their heads and looked at Daji eagerly.
Daji had no choice but to raise his foot to help.
But after inserting the first stick, they soon discovered that the second stick could not fit into the two holes.
Manbao was stunned. "How could it be wrong? Didn't we measure it with a stick?"
Bai Shanbao: "Is the quantity wrong?"
The two children looked up at the fishing net together, and after a moment of silence, they said, "Let's dig a new hole."
Daji had anticipated this and continued to dig a hole for them silently.
After finally getting all three sticks stuck into the soil, Manbao handed over the rope.
Daji looked up at the fishing net that was only slightly taller than him, and resigned himself to helping them tie the rope.
The two children pulled the two ropes under the tree and lay down on the grass to watch.
After a long time, the birds in the sky still didn't land. Manbao felt something was wrong, so he got up and looked, only to find that the wheat had not been sown yet.
Daji sat under the tree, covered his mouth and yawned, closed his eyes slightly, but his ears perked up. Even without looking, he could hear the movements of the two children.
Bai Shanbao and Manbao scattered the wheat ears they brought under the net, and then lay motionless in the grass under the tree.
After a while, some birds began to land on the ground. They looked around vigilantly, lowered their heads to peck, and then immediately looked around.
Manbao, who had been looking up slightly, saw this and lay down on the ground again. He whispered to Bai Shanbao, "Let's wait a little longer, until they are less vigilant, and then pull the rope."
"Look, another bird is coming down," Bai Shanbao said confidently, "Wait until they've relaxed their vigilance before pulling them up."
Anyway, they threw enough ears of wheat, which was definitely enough for them to eat for a long time.
The two of them lay down obediently again.
The grass under the tree is fine and dense, and because people often sit here to rest, the grass also looks a little soft.
The two children rested their chins on their arms, feeling the gentle breeze. As they watched, their eyelids began to feel heavy...
Daji listened to the two children gradually becoming silent, and instead heard two breathing sounds gradually becoming longer. He couldn't help but open his eyes to look.
I saw both children lying on the grass, sleeping soundly with their heads resting on their arms.
Daji: ...
He turned his head to look at the grass where more and more birds were falling. Seeing that they were still looking around vigilantly, he remained silent.
More and more birds fell down. After a while, seeing that they were not attacked, they slowly relaxed and began to fight hard for food.
Every year from the beginning of summer harvest to the end of autumn harvest, there are the most birds in the fields, as if birds from all over the country have gathered here at once.
The villagers of Qili Village all hate it to death.
But the birds could fly, and they had no way of doing anything with them, so they just kept waving sticks at them.
They are used to it, so they have thick skin and are brave. When they see people waving sticks, they dare to drop down and peck at the food from time to time, not to mention that there is no one holding a stick around.
Daji felt that if he let the young master sleep any longer, all his work today would be in vain. He didn't think it was a big deal, but he was afraid that the two children would be sad.
So Daji weighed the pros and cons and finally reached out and pushed the young master.
Bai Shanbao opened his eyes suddenly. He looked forward in a daze. When he saw the bird moving in front of him, his eyes lit up slightly and he became a little more awake.
Koko is also calling Manbao.
What a rare opportunity! It will be hard to find it again once you lose it.
Just as Bai Shanbao was about to reach out to push Manbao, Manbao yawned and woke up, his eyes very sleepy.
Then I saw a bird landing not far away, and I felt a little more refreshed.
The two friends looked at each other and counted softly, "One, two, three——"
The two men pulled hard together, and the two sticks were instantly pulled down, and the net fell down with a snap. The third stick was buried the shallowest, and when the two sticks next to it fell, it also shook and fell down...
The birds foraging on the ground instantly flapped their wings and tried to fly away.
Half of them flapped their wings and flew away, some were hit directly by the net and did not fly up, and some flew up in panic and crashed into the net, and then fell to the ground with the net.
Bai Shanbao and Manbao pulled down the stick, then instantly climbed up and rushed forward to press down the gap in the fishing net, trapping the caught bird firmly in the net.
Manbao laughed happily, pinching his waist and said, "This is the law of heaven, which is vast and wide, and nothing can escape it. Hahahaha..."
Bai Shanbao said "Huh" and asked, "Where did this come from? It's quite appropriate, but I always feel that the context is a little wrong."
They are currently trying to learn how to punctuate sentences and are very sensitive to sentences they have never heard before.
Manbao waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "I saw it in an ancient book. Was it said by someone from very ancient times?"
Koko: "...Host, that book is an ancient book to the intelligent creatures of my time, but not to you; the person who said that was a person from ancient times to them, but not to you either."
Manbao couldn't help but burst into laughter and said happily: "It wasn't said by the ancients, it might be said by our descendants."
Bai Shanbao: ...Manbao is really imaginative.
Daji: ...Children are really hard to understand, especially those who play with the young master.
There were quite a few birds caught in the net. Bai Shanbao was about to count them when Manbao said, "Go and call Datou and the others over. Have them bring their backpacks and the lids. Let's move to another place and continue fishing. I don't know how to make the birds delicious."
Bai Shanbao immediately said, "Wait for me. I'll go get the food right away. Leave the cooking to the cook. She'll definitely know how to make it delicious."
Bai Shanbao immediately ran towards Zhou's house. Daji hesitated for a moment, then quickly chased after Bai Shanbao. He turned around and told Manbao, "Miss Manbao, stay here and don't leave."
Manbao nodded, "I know, I will keep an eye on our bird."
Daji was embarrassed for a moment and quickly went after Bai Shanbao.
After they all left, Manbao happily reached in to catch the birds. Whenever he caught one, he put it into the system and handed it to Keke, asking him to keep it safe.
