Chapter 27: Digging Loaches Together

In the morning exhibition, the mountains and fields are particularly fresh, the trees all over the mountains are verdant, and the wildflowers of various colors are blooming brightly.

Li Jie and Xi'er carried baskets on their backs, baskets on their backs, and walked into the mountains while enjoying the beautiful mountain scenery.

On a hillside, Li Jie stopped and told Xi'er: "Let's pick it here, the first time you pick mushrooms, you have to remember these words, 'There are many mushrooms in the stick firewood pond, there are many mushrooms rotted in the wood, the mushroom circle is on the Chaoyang slope, and the grass mushrooms love to give birth to grass nests......"

When it comes to survival in the wild, Li Jie is definitely a leader in this area, whether it is the experience of a killer in a previous life or the career of a special forces in this life, he has been to and done places and things that most ordinary people can't deal with.

Whether it's a volcano, a swamp, a glacier, or a lake, just give him a knife and a kettle, and he will survive anywhere on the planet.

Li Jie can judge the level of groundwater according to the topography, and with his sensitive hearing organs, he can pay attention to whether there are mountain streams, cliffs, basins, valley bottoms, etc., whether there are streams or waterfalls, frogs, and waterfowl.

He can also use his experience and knowledge to observe animals, plants, climate, geography, etc., and also find water.

It is not an exaggeration to say that he is "the man who stands at the top of the food chain".

No matter how harsh the conditions around the world, there are very few areas where there are no plants at all. For example, shrubs, flowers, herbs or fungi will always have some edible and provide nutrients.

You need to understand your own nutritional needs and the basics of how to meet them.

But you also have to understand that you should avoid those poisonous plants, how to eat well, eat well, eat safely is a big problem to survive in the wild, Li Jie is definitely an expert in this area.

Although picking mushrooms is a beneficial and interesting thing, it also has a certain danger, some mushrooms are poisonous or even highly poisonous, and it is a worry for life if eaten by mistake.

Generally, brightly colored mushrooms are mostly poisonous, and most of the poisonous mushrooms also have an unpleasant pungent odor.

However, although some mushrooms are not bright in color and taste delicious, they are also poisonous, so you must not pick mushrooms you don't know.

Of course, these questions are of no use to Xi'er, who is only four years old, and the little girl has long been dazzled when she looks at the large, small, colorful, and varied mushrooms on the ground.

There was no need to move the place, and after a while, she picked up the small bamboo basket in her hand.

Looking at the victory in her hand, and then feeling the crystal shoes on her feet like wading in the water, a step will make a "chirping, chirping" sound, Xi'er's heart ripples.

Li Jie shook his head, patiently picked out some poisonous mushrooms, breathed in the fresh oxygen-rich air containing the aroma of flowers and plants, listened to the singing of birds among the branches in the early morning, and looked at the milky white mushrooms, which made people feel particularly happy.

Picking mushrooms is really a beneficial activity, which not only has a material harvest, but also makes people feel happy, and also exercises the body, this kind of happiness is not enjoyed by city people, and there are many pleasures and benefits that city people can't think of in the countryside.

This is also the reason why Li Jie came out with Xi'er, although he loves Xi'er, it does not mean that he is doting.

Today's children are like flowers in a greenhouse, almost all of them are raised in greenhouses, and they are all "held in their hands for fear of falling, and holding them in their mouths for fear of melting", preventing them from sweeping the floor, washing dishes, and playing fierce games......

Is this really good? The answer is definitely no, practice tells Li Jie that the flowers in the greenhouse are weak and will be eliminated in nature, and spoiling children is actually harming children, and children should be responsible and responsible in the process of growing up......

After picking mushrooms, Li Jie took Xi'er to a nearby lotus pond.

Next, the father and daughter have to dig loaches, the so-called "half a year of hard work and half a year of leisure" as long as it does not rain, it is the time to dig loaches.

In groups of three or five, they called their friends and companions, put on galoshes, took hoes, and put on buckets, and everyone ran to the fields.

The place where the loaches are dug is the point that Li Jie has stepped on a long time ago.

In the villages and towns on the outskirts of Binhai City, there is a small river that flows quietly and is not only clean and unpolluted, but the banks of the river have been renovated to resemble the waterfront of the city's parks.

So whether it's fishing on the shore or digging for loaches, as long as you pay a little attention, there is no safety problem, otherwise Li Jie wouldn't dare to bring Xi'er over to play.

Xi'er also likes the scenery of the Xia River here, which has a beautiful scenery that she has never seen before.

The most important thing is that she is accompanied by her father and Qiuqiu, and the only regret is that her mother is too busy with work.

In fact, it is now past the best season for digging loaches, but Li Jie took Xi'er out just to have fun, so that the little girl can also experience the happiness he experienced in his childhood and youth.

There is a special way to dig loaches, you can't go to a place where the water is deep or there is no water, it must be the kind of silt inside.

Loaches burrow deep into the mud and are generally difficult to dig into. If the water is too deep, people will sink into the pond, and if the water is too dry, they will lose the pleasure of harvesting.

The best part is that people step on the mud and their feet don't sink in, like the rice cakes steamed by the farmer's family, soft and sticky, and that feeling is great.

Li Jie put on water boots and bent down to look carefully, the layer of soil that had just formed a layer of skin, it was easy to find the hiding place of the loaches.

As long as the fingers are carefully dug down along the small holes, you can dig a big loach alive, the bigger the hole, the bigger the loach, the smaller the hole, the smaller the loach.

Sometimes if you're lucky, you can dig a hole with your finger and the loaches will be waiting for you, but most of the time they climb fast, and they won't die if you don't dig a few hoes, haha.

However, what made Li Jie depressed was that those loaches seemed to be playing hide and seek with him, hiding in XC without a trace.

Hey, I finally found a loach.

Li Jie raised his feet with difficulty, walked over step by step, and just as he was about to pounce, the loach swam away, his center of gravity was unstable, and he suddenly fell into a "dog eating".

Xi'er on the shore laughed when she saw her father's appearance, it turned out that Li Jie's face was covered with mud, like a big flower face in Peking Opera.

"Dad, I'm going to catch loaches too. Seeing Li Jie having a lot of fun, Xi'er, who was still a little clean, suddenly became interested.

Seeing his daughter "hooked", Li Jie took Xi'er's little hand and carefully went down to the pond.

In fact, he pretended to fall on purpose just now, as the most powerful killer and the most awesome special forces, catching loaches is not a small case.

He did so much to make Xi'er happy.

"Dad, teach me how to catch loaches?" Xi'er just walked into the mud pond and couldn't wait.

Li Jie's inner guidance allowed Xi'er to challenge the loaches in the small ditch alone, but those little loaches swam around and couldn't catch them.

Xi'er was very unwilling after being busy for a long time, and now she has become a little flower cat.

At this moment, a loach swam by, and Xi'er grabbed it with a fast speed.

Finally, I caught one, and suddenly, the little girl was very happy.

It was a tiny loach with a brownish-yellow body, writhing back and forth in Xi'er's hand.

Looking at the little loach, Xi'er was overjoyed, and showed it to Li Jie as if offering a treasure......

In this way, under the guidance of Li Jie, gradually, gradually, Xi'er mastered the skills, and soon caught two, three, and four...... Every time I make progress, the little one gets excited. Sometimes he caught a lot, and even Li Jie would scream.

This is sad Qiuqiu, the dog is afraid of the water and does not dare to go down to the pond, I don't know when he ran to the shore, screaming at Xi'er and Li Jie, and the river bank suddenly became lively.....
