"Hey!! Gouzi!! There really is one!!! Hurry!! Go down quickly, oh! There is a big female leopard there!" Qiubo said in surprise.
As he said that, Qiubo rushed into the river first, but one foot sank into the mud and he fell directly into the water. Fortunately, he was wearing waders, so only his sleeves were wet, and other parts of his body were not wet.
It took a lot of effort to struggle to get up, but Qiubo didn't look depressed at all. Instead, he looked excited. He raised his little black hands covered in mud and shouted excitedly.
"Yohoo! Dog! Look what I caught! A female leopard! A big female leopard!"
In the live broadcast room.
[Mother leopard!! Where is it? Where is it? ]
[Oh my god! Are the resources in Northeast China so amazing? There are leopards in the river? ]
[No way, how can a leopard be so small that it can be caught with one hand? ]
Everyone looked in the direction of Qiubo's hand and saw that his hands were covered in mud. In the mud, there seemed to be something struggling slowly.
Then Qiubo put his hand into the water, rinsed it, and washed away the mud. Only then could he see the true appearance of the thing in his hand.
In his hand, he was holding a brown toad with some black spots on its back, but its belly was golden yellow. Seeing the comments in the live broadcast room from the front and back, Meng Fei smiled and explained:
"This is what I call the Four Treasures of China, the Hashi Frog, also known as the forest frog. As for the female leopard that Qiubo just called out, it's not a real leopard, but our name for the female forest frog. The belly of the female forest frog is golden yellow, which is very similar to the color of a leopard, so we call it that."
When the netizens in the live broadcast room heard this, they suddenly realized what was going on.
"Okay, I won't chat with you anymore. I'm going to start catching them. If they get stuck in the mud, it will be hard to catch them."
After saying that, Meng Fei also walked into the river. With the previous experience with Qiu Bo as a lesson, Meng Fei walked very carefully.
At this moment, Meng Fei felt a strange movement under his feet. His eyes lit up, and he quickly rolled up his sleeves, bent down, and put his hands into the mud under his feet.
After groping for a while, he pulled out a wood frog. Because the water was relatively cold at this time, the wood frog did not struggle violently. Instead, it kicked its legs lazily in Meng Fei's hands.
Meng Fei grinned. The forest frogs at this time are the easiest to catch, and they are the fattest.
In order to store more energy for hibernation, forest frogs eat a lot in the fall to accumulate fat for consumption in the winter.
From time to time, the two people's surprised cheers could be heard from the riverside. In just an hour, they had turned half a bucket.
Seeing that they had had enough to eat, Meng Fei and the other man stopped catching any more. People in the mountains have their own rules, and only by taking in moderation can they better protect the ecological environment.
The two of them returned home, talking and laughing, carrying the bucket. Second Aunt and Qiubo's mother were cleaning the table.
Qiubo's mother, seeing the two men coming back covered in mud, immediately showed her displeasure.
"You two, are you brave enough? It's already late at night, it's almost frozen, and you two are still fishing in the river!"
"Meng Qiubo!!! You better get into the house and change your clothes! Your waders are soaked! If you freeze and pee later, I'll see how you'll find a wife!"
Hearing her mother's snarling roar, Qiubo was shocked. She threw the bucket to Meng Fei, and went into the house dejectedly, leaving Meng Fei alone in the wind.
"Aunt, since you are here, I want to take Qiubo to catch some hashish ants. You have just recovered from a serious illness, so I want to nourish your body." Meng Fei thought quickly and said.
Hearing the glances from inside the room, he grimaced and cursed Meng Fei in his heart for being a thief.
Hearing Meng Fei's words, Qiu Bo's mother showed a look of relief on her face. She walked up to him, wiped the mud off Meng Fei's face with her hand, and said softly:
"You are such a thoughtful kid. Sigh... You said you are alone now and don't have anyone who cares about you. Don't worry. When you go back, I will find you a good one!"
"No, no, no, you should find it for Qiubo first. I'm not in a hurry, not in a hurry, hehe..." Meng Fei's face changed and he quickly smiled.
"Why not hurry? You're already so old. If you don't find someone soon, you'll be almost 30. Don't say anything. I'll take care of it!"
After saying that, Qiubo's mother looked into the bucket.
"Oh my! This toad is quite big! I haven't eaten it in years. I was talking about it to Qiubo a while ago. This time I finally satisfied my craving."
"Haha, OK! Then let's stew hash browns with potatoes tonight! Make a big pot!"
Meng Fei found a curtain and covered the bucket with it. He also put a brick on it and went back into the house to change his clothes.
After changing clothes, Qiubo's mother said she wanted to go back to the old house to take a look, so she went to the old house with Qiubo.
Meng Fei had nothing to do, so he decided to go see how the otter mother's dam was going.
When he strolled to the abandoned fish pond, Meng Fei saw from afar a dam more than one meter high standing at the gap in the fish pond.
Meng Fei was shocked. He didn't expect that the mother otter was so amazing and could complete such a big project in such a short time.
When we got closer, we saw the mother otter squatting on the dam, stuffing twigs into the gaps in the dam.
Seeing Meng Fei coming, the mother otter showed joy on her face and ran over quickly.
"Meng Fei! Meng Fei! You are here! Come and see how my dam is built! Does it look good?" said the otter mother excitedly.
"Yeah! It looks great! Awesome!! It's been built in just a few days."
"Oh, this is all thanks to everyone's help. Cuihua and Xiong Da have worked hard these past few days. Look at these thick tree trunks. They were all transported here with the help of them. If it were in the past, I wouldn't even dare to think about it.
This dam is the most perfect dam I have ever seen in my life. It is not only strong but also beautiful. The most important thing is that it has a good location. Look at the fish pond over there. I caught a lot of fish and put them in it. This way, we won’t have to worry about food in winter. Thank you, Meng Fei. "
The otter mother expressed her sincere gratitude.
"Haha, why thank me? We are a family from now on. If you find it too cold here in winter, you can come to my house. I have several empty rooms."
"Don't worry, I built a very warm nest, you won't be cold. By the way, wait for me for a while."
After that, the mother otter dived into the fish pond, and with a few waves, she soon reappeared her head, holding a three or four jin-heavy croaker in her mouth.
