Chapter 22: Basic Skills for Boys

"Brother Liu, what are you doing with a knife, you can't use it, right?" Zhou Bo asked strangely.

"Be prepared, in case you encounter a wild boar or something, there is a guy in your hand, and you can deal with it somewhat. Liu Daode pinned the chopping knife to his waist and said.

"Are there wild boars on the mountain?" the girls were startled again.

"Yes, but this season is usually deep in the mountains, and I rarely go outside. Liu Daode replied simply.

In the early years, when the mountains were not closed for afforestation, the villagers of Nanshan Town often went up to the mountains to hunt, and the wild boars, hares, pheasants, and turtledoves in the mountains ...... As long as it's a wild thing, it's basically lighted.

Later, the county closed the mountains to cultivate forests, and young people went out to work, so the animals on the mountains slowly multiplied.

Especially in recent years, wild boars have become a scourge, and when there is a shortage of food in the mountains in autumn and winter, they come down to destroy the crops.

Corn, sweet potatoes, soybeans, whatever you catch and eat, in one night, you can waste a few acres of land.

The people in the village have a headache about this, and they are already thinking about when to organize a hunting team to hunt wild boars in the mountains.

"Then why don't we go into the mountains and have a picnic on the hillside outside?" As soon as he heard that there was a wild boar, Lin Xiaotong took the lead in retreating.

"Don't, what's the meaning outside the mountain, the forest is too sparse, there's nothing to see. Wang Jingjing immediately objected.

"That is, let's go into the mountains and have a look, and we don't have to go too far. Which point back, just happened to meet a wild boar. "Su Qing also built yƬ to.

Seeing that they all planned to enter the mountain, Lin Xiaotong didn't want to say anything.

Several people unified their thoughts, and Liu Daode immediately led the general to open the way in front.

Getting around the back hills, the road becomes difficult to walk. All kinds of shrubs and weeds around him seem to have a thick blanket on the ground. There are a bunch of wildflowers here and there on the blanket. Red, purple, white, yellow...... Butterflies and bees are mixed in, flying up and down, which is very beautiful.

On the tall trees overhead, from time to time, there are unknown birds jumping in the branches, making the whole mountain forest become very lively.

"Chirp ......" Suddenly, several gray-brown shadows flickered on the branches.

Lin Xiaotong was startled, and then shouted excitedly: "Squirrel, look at it, it's a squirrel!"

"Where, where??" several girls hurriedly raised their cameras to take pictures.

However, their actions clearly frightened the little ones, and they jumped up and down the trees a few times, and had already taken refuge in the woods.

"It's a pity, I just took a picture, and it's not clear" Ma Yue looked at the camera and said with some regret.

"I didn't shoot it either, they ran too fast......"

"It's okay, there are so many squirrels in the mountains, I'm sure I'll be able to meet them later. Liu Daode replied disapprenously. He really couldn't figure out how excited he was to see a few squirrels.

This thing, like the wild boar, is also a scourge, often going down the mountain to spoil the crops. However, they are relatively small and within the tolerance range of the villagers.

Walk through the woods and into the clearing. Before Liu Daode could feel anything, several girls began to shout that they were tired and sat directly on the stone to rest.

Zhou Bo was just about to sit down, subconsciously looked at the stone, jumped away with a swish, and exclaimed: "Snake, what a big snake!"

"Ah......" The girls got up in a panic and dodged into the distance.

Liu Daode leaned over and took a look, and said with a smile: "It's okay, no poisonous snakes." Be careful when you sit on the rocks, because now that the weather is fine, most of the snakes will lie on the rocks to warm up. ā€

With that, he broke a branch and shook it back and forth in front of the snake's head.

The thing swallowed snake letters, and kept shaking its head with the branches.

Liu Daode suddenly pressed down on the branch and pressed the snake's head against the stone. Then he reached out and grabbed it, and before a few people could react, they had already grabbed the snake's tail.

He shook it a few times and threw it into the grass in the distance.

In rural areas, catching snakes is a basic skill for boys.

Then the girls widened their eyes, looked left and right, and found that there was really nothing around, so they sat down.

But within two minutes, Wang Jingjing exclaimed again: "Snake!"

"Where, where?" the girls fled from the stone again.

"Right here, I climbed on my feet just now," Wang Jingjing pointed to a stone she had just sat on.

"No snakes?" Liu Daode scratched twice in the grass with a stick, but there was nothing. When I released my divine sense, I found that there was a weighing rod insect drilled in the soil. He picked it up with his stick and asked, "Is this what you see?"

A little guy about ten centimeters long and the thickness of chopsticks was drawn out.

This thing is brightly colored, with a red and black body, and suddenly it looks very similar to the flower red snake.

"That's it, that's it, get it away," Wang Jingjing covered her eyes, not daring to look at it carefully.

"It's not a snake, it's a scale worm, oh, the scientific name is Malu. Don't bite ......" said, Liu Daode reached out and grabbed the little guy in the palm of his hand.

"A false alarm" Lin Xiaotong breathed a sigh of relief, and then took pictures at Ma Lu.

Tossed twice in a row, several girls didn't dare to sit on the stone, for fear of something coming out again.

At this time, Su Qing looked at her phone and said, "It's almost eleven o'clock, why don't we find a place to have lunch." ā€

"All right," several agreed.

It's called going into the mountains...... Liu Daode couldn't cry or laugh a little, and he used so much martial arts in vain, and brought all the mountain chopping knives. They just walked around the periphery of the mountain, and they walked less than twenty miles.

People didn't want to go into the mountains, and he didn't force it. He said, "Well, there is a mountain stream two or three miles ahead, how about we rest there?"

"Okay,"

Several people listened and agreed.

In this way, after walking for ten more minutes, they came to a stream.

The stream was more than two feet wide, and most of it was shallow, only twenty or thirty centimeters deep. The water in the mountains is unpolluted and very clear. After walking for a long time, several people were sweating a lot, and they squatted on the pebbles by the water to wash their faces.

Soon, someone shouted, "Look, there are fish in the water, Liu Daodao, there are fish in this water!"

Sweat...... How fresh it is, it's not normal if there are no fish in the water.

Liu Daode responded, quickly chopped off a branch with a chopping knife, and sharpened it in three or two times.

Then he stood at the water's edge and held aloft the fork of the tree.

In the next second, with a flick of the wrist, the fork fell, and when it was pulled up again, a crucian carp more than ten centimeters long was tied up.

"Wow, look, Brother Liu is catching fish......"

With a reminder from Zhou Bo, the camera clicked again.

Again, in the countryside, catching fish is a basic skill for boys.

Liu Daode walked quickly along the stream, dropping the wooden fork from time to time, and basically one fish won the bid every time.

In half an hour, fifteen fish were caught, and it was estimated that it was enough for them to eat, so Liu Daode stopped and beckoned everyone to clean up the fish scale armor.

While he was busy, the great general who had just disappeared returned, still with a fat rabbit in his mouth. xh:.74.240.212
