Miao Qingsong happily carried her basket towards the Nenjiang River.
The four of them chased a total of 26 rabbits in the morning, and each person got 6.
They gave the extra two fish to Lin Mo as payment for the six fish they had originally promised.
Anyway, it was split evenly. In fact, after Lin Mo gave the fish to the supply and marketing cooperative, the three Miao brothers actually received more than Lin Mo.
He really made me cry. He could have enjoyed it all by himself, but he dragged the three of them into it.
Miao Qingsong wiped his eyes.
Xu Zhenting was the one hiding in the corner spying on Miao Qingsong's movements.
After Miao Qingsong had gone far away, Xu Zhenting didn't care about leaving any clues and kicked down a section of the fence that Miao Qingsong's family had made of dry tree branches.
They just walked in without any fuss.
He knew that Miao Qingsong's parents were working in their assigned fields, and once Miao Qingsong left, his family would be left alone.
I decisively ducked into the Miao family's kitchen, and ouch!
Six rabbits were hopping and running around inside the wooden partition!
Six of them!
"Hmph!" Xu Zhenting was first excited, then angry.
"Everyone was so poor that they had to tighten their belts and couldn't live without sweet potatoes for three meals a day."
"Why are you guys allowed to eat meat?!"
In a fit of anger, Xu Zhenting brazenly grabbed a burlap sack and stuffed all the rabbits inside.
Take it away!
...
With yesterday's experience, the four of them were even more efficient today by the Nenjiang River.
Miao Qingsong could go into the mountains alone to catch rats. Once he found one, he would immediately stomp it to death and crush it to use as fish feed.
Lin Mo told him to kill it immediately if he caught it. The longer it was dead, the stronger the stench would be, and that's why the Black Sharps came around because of the stench.
Miao Wang and Wang Junjun skillfully set up an interception net in the river.
Yesterday's experience taught the two brothers that the net wasn't long enough, so they had to first sink a row of bamboo baskets to the bottom of the water.
If any fish manage to escape, you can reach into the basket and catch them!
The three of them were busy with various tasks. There was still an hour or so until noon. The leisurely Lin Mo, carrying only a basket on his back and a slingshot, went into Old Bald Mountain alone.
Although Old Bald Mountain is barren, it still has quite a few trees, especially eucalyptus trees, which grow very tall.
After taking root for a few years, it can grow to several meters tall, with many branches in the crown and dense, mixed leaves. Many wild birds like to build their nests in trees with many branches.
The chirping of birds never stopped from morning till night, but the dense foliage overhead blocked the view, so not many could be seen.
Lin Mo quickly climbed up a five- or six-meter-tall eucalyptus tree and hid himself in the dense foliage.
The chirping of birds seemed to surround him, but he could hear the sounds and see no birds.
While looking around, Lin Mo suddenly noticed a bird's nest made of withered grass, clearly visible in the branches of the eucalyptus tree next to him.
Inside the nest, several white bird eggs were displayed even more brightly!
I was thinking of hunting a few birds; bird eggs are great, they can be boiled and eaten.
Lin Mo climbed up and down the trees like a little devil.
Hey there! I found four bird eggs in this nest. Then I looked up and saw another bird nest on the eucalyptus tree just two trees away.
"Brother Lin? Where are you? The net is set up! And we've fed everyone enough!"
When Miao Qingsong couldn't see Lin Mo anymore and called out to come in looking for him, there were already nearly sixty bird eggs lying in Lin Mo's basket!
Next time, I'll try to find pheasants. There are several species of pheasants, one of which is called a pheasant.
Pheasants are slightly larger than domestic chickens, have a wilder temperament, and run extremely fast, capable of reaching speeds of over 100 kilometers per hour in a short period of time.
But it's delicious! If it's delicious, you can raise chickens like domestic chickens!
If you can catch one male and a few females, you can eat wild eggs every day!
"They're here!"
Lin Mo yelled back towards the south, then slid down the tree and back to the Nenjiang River.
Let's light the campfire first.
October is almost over, and it's already freezing cold in Northeast China. Catching fish will inevitably get you all wet.
After catching the fish, you can immediately warm yourself by the campfire.
After slowly and methodically finishing all this, looking back, I realized that these three Miao brothers learn things quite quickly.
Yesterday I only taught them how to use nets to catch fish, but today they know how to apply what they've learned to other situations, and they even put a row of bamboo baskets behind the nets.
Excellent, very promising!
In this way, I can just direct them to work and relax on the shore.
Lin Mo casually took the iron kettle, filled it with Nenjiang River water, stuffed ten bird eggs inside, and put the kettle on the campfire to roast.
"Miao Qingsong, walk five meters to the east, then start digging the bait, and continue digging westward."
"good!"
Miao Qingsong obediently jogged over, measured the distance, and found it was about right!
Sprinkle the seasoning!
After scattering the bloody, sizzling, and foul-smelling pieces of rat meat into the water, Miao Qingsong squatted on the bank and secretly observed them.
Before a minute had passed, one after another, dark, ominous creatures appeared from the bottom of the water.
Soon, the black puddles gathered into a large patch, and the fierce competition for food stirred up strange black whirlpools on the water's surface, with splashing water violently.
Without Lin Mo giving any further instructions, seeing that the number of black-haired spiky people gathered was already astonishing, Miao Qingsong picked up a stick and started banging it against the water's surface.
"Wow! Ahhh!!" Awang excitedly shouted again:
"More than yesterday!!"
The biting cold river water couldn't stop their excited and restless hearts, and Awang and Ajun waded into the river again.
A net was blocking the way in front, while two people behind were scooping up clumps of fish from the bottom of the water with bamboo baskets.
The bamboo baskets that were submerged in the water beforehand were intended to catch the very few fish that managed to escape.
