The eldest sister went into the bamboo forest to move bamboo, Li Sheng was making a bamboo raft, and Nai Tuan was also busy, digging for earthworms with a small stone hoe, surrounded by several chicks, Qiu Xiang, and Tang Bohu.
Qiu Xiang was the name Nai Tuan gave to the little hen because it sounded virtuous. This little hen was indeed very hardworking and virtuous, laying eggs and raising her chicks diligently every day. As for Tang Bohu, he was disliked.
Because the rooster only eats and doesn't lay eggs, and not only does it not lay eggs, it often steals food from Qiu Xiang and the children. It also often bullies Qiu Xiang and the children. The rooster that initially stood up to protect Qiu Xiang and the children has now disappeared.
Qiu Xiang, on the other hand, grew bigger thanks to the daily diligent feeding from Naituan.
The little dumpling squatted on the ground: "Heave-ho, heave-ho, heave-ho heave-ho."
Before long, a large earthworm was dug out. Tang Bohu saw it and immediately rushed over like lightning, but Naituan stretched out one of its limbs, grabbed its neck, and flung it away.
The little boy spoke up for Qiu Xiang, saying, "You've already eaten five earthworms, you're not allowed to steal any more."
Qiu Xiang waited so long before finally eating one. Now that there was a high fence, the ropes binding Qiu Xiang and Tang Bohu were untied. However, to prevent them from flying away, a section of the feathers on their wings was chopped off with an axe.
Li Sheng has successfully bent fifteen bamboo stalks. The next step is to assemble the fifteen bamboo stalks into a bamboo raft. He also found a thinner bamboo stalk, only about the thickness of a wrist, which is exactly the length of the fifteen bamboo stalks put together.
First, instruct the younger sister to drag all the bamboo to the rocky area below, where they can be assembled. Using a cross-shaped method, each bamboo stalk is tied to the horizontal bamboo stalk to form a row.
With one rope at the front, one in the middle, and one at the back, a simple bamboo raft was completed, along with a bamboo oar with a coconut shell tied to the bottom. However, there was no rush to launch it. The bamboo raft did not need to take him across the ocean; it was only needed to allow him to fish in the near sea. Therefore, he needed a rope, one end of which was tied to the bamboo raft, and the other end was fixed to a sturdy reef.
The ropes used to secure the bamboo raft can't be so thin; they're three thick ropes, each about the thickness of an index finger, woven together into a super thick rope. Such a thick rope should be able to withstand the wind and waves during high tide.
However, even such a thick rope needs to be replaced regularly, as seawater is very corrosive.
The rope was about 100 meters long. After Li Sheng pushed the bamboo raft into the water, he stood on it to test its stability and even jumped around on it. He almost lost his footing and fell into the sea, which startled the audience.
Li Sheng even tried lying on the bamboo raft, where it swayed back and forth like a cradle. It seemed like sleeping on the bamboo raft at night would be a good option.
If you're not afraid of rolling into the sea.
The bamboo raft was finished, and the day was almost over. Li Sheng felt that the days were passing by quite quickly.
When Naituan got tired of digging, he smashed some more sea snails for the pheasants to eat. They ate the big bowl of snails happily. Incredibly, after they finished eating, they obediently went back to their coop and nestled there. Naituan also skillfully closed the coop door.
These pheasants are practically indistinguishable from domestic chickens now, except for their appearance. It's a shame these two aren't animal trainers.
Moreover, after Tang Bohu and Qiu Xiang arrived, the number of insects near the cabin decreased. This was because those unpredictable insects were their food source. Every morning when they woke up, Naituan would not feed them directly, but let them forage in the yard to deal with any potential dangers.
It was evening, and the sun wasn't too strong, so Li Sheng thought it was a perfect time for fishing. He painstakingly took out his lure from the shelter and assembled it with great skill.
The bait was quickly hooked onto the hook. It was a brightly colored fake bait. Although it was fake and only the size of a thumb, it was much more expensive than a fish. This brand of artificial bait costs more than two hundred yuan a piece.
The production team is really generous; this set of equipment costs 20,000 yuan. He's never enjoyed this before. He's never fished much; fishing was something he did when he was a child. Fishing was just to improve his meals. When he was a child, it was just a matter of a bamboo pole, a section of fishing line, and a fishhook. He never played with anything so fancy.
Judging from Li Sheng's appearance, everyone could tell that he was a novice. When he was fishing with bamboo in the forest before, it was probably during his beginner protection period. Now that he was really going to play, the experienced anglers didn't have high hopes for Li Sheng. There's a lot to learn about fishing.
However, Li Sheng thought differently from everyone else. The key to whether or not you can catch fish is whether there are fish, what kind of fish they are, how many fish there are, and a little bit of luck.
Fish are definitely going to come up. There's plenty of fish here, and you can catch small fish right in the crevices of the rocks at low tide, let alone now that he's on the surface of the sea.
There must be something good beneath this calm surface.
Before Li Sheng could even finish fantasizing about how to cook the fish he caught, the float started bobbing up and down. He could clearly feel a force trying to break free from the fishing rod, and judging from the force, it must be a fairly large fish.
However, this force was nothing to him, and even less to the fishing rod, as he could easily reel in the line without expending energy on anything on the seabed.
As the fishing line gradually shortened, a silver ribbon-like creature appeared in the seawater. Li Sheng recognized it at a glance: "Ribbonfish, we'll have fried ribbonfish pieces for dinner tonight."
The ribbonfish quickly reached Li Sheng's hands and was thrown into the fishing net.
Everyone watching was stunned. It had only been less than five minutes since the line was cast, and they had already caught such a long ribbonfish. Their luck was truly incredible.
This wasn't just good luck; it was mainly a stroke of luck. Li Sheng cast his line again, and less than three minutes later, there was another bite. A yellow croaker was immediately thrown into the fish trap. The speed at which he caught fish was beyond his expectations; it was far too easy.
After saying this, Gan Gan threw in the bait again. Li Sheng felt an enormous force pulling him forward, and he almost lost his balance and fell into the sea. His expression immediately became serious.
Even he couldn't control the force, so he must have caught a big one. It was somewhat dangerous for him in his current situation. If he were to be dragged into the sea by this big fish, the consequences would be unimaginable. The creatures in the sea are not as wonderful as one might imagine; many of them are terrifying beings.
