Chapter 134: What are you doing?
The whole lake in the forest, on the left is a thorny forest, on the right is a cattail grass and reed field, the front end of the lake shoreline is particularly long, and the left side and the oblique right side each have a river entrance of about three or four meters.

Between the two rivers is a forest four or five meters wide, beyond the range of the lake in the forest, and at the other end is a forest that is not too dense and not too big, and there are many stones and sand under the trees, so there are very few weeds and thorns, but some shrubs that are at most half a person high.
And look at the empty shells of aquatic creatures hanging on some shrubs, if the water is high, the water will flood into the woods, and it will be deeper than half a man's height shrubs.
Mu Xiaohua and the three of them walked along the river on the right side of the slope to the forest, the sun has been on for a long time recently, but the river water here can not see the bottom should be very deep, you can see a small group of fish swimming in it, but these fish are just small fish roe, and there are green and secluded aquatic plants growing on the riverside, making the river look more deep.
After walking for about a hundred meters, the river became wider and deeper, and after walking for a while, a diversion appeared. Yu said: "The river of our tribe flows down after the convergence of two rivers in the forest, and this is one of them, but there are several divergences in this branch. ā
Mu Xiaohua nodded understandingly, and the three of them walked along the divide, the water of this small river is not very deep, although it is not too clear, but you can see the bottom, there are many stones at the bottom, and some of the huge stones are half on the surface of the river, so there is a circle of aquatic plants around the stones, and there are also many aquatic plants growing on the riverside.
Such an environment is very suitable for the survival of fish and shrimp, and there are not many fish in this river, but to Mu Xiaohua's surprise, the number of shrimps and crabs is more than expected. What makes her even happier is that the size of the shrimp is basically two fingers big, and some are three fingers big, and such a big river shrimp is quite rare.
It's a lot of products here! Mu Xiaohua was excited: "Let's go and go down to the river to catch shrimp." ā
"Catch shrimp?" Yu and Yu Tong looked at Mu Xiaohua strangely.
"Yes! Shrimp. Mu Xiaohua pointed into the river: "It's those shrimps, and those crabs." ā
It's summer, and it's not the fattest season for crabs, but probably no one has ever caught them, and the crabs here are huge, except for some small crabs that are basically the size of a fist.
"Shrimp? Crab? Yu and Yu Tong were still puzzled: "Why did you catch it?" ā
Belch......
They don't even know shrimp and crabs? Mu Xiaohua was very surprised: "Catch it and eat it, you can eat these things." ā
"Can you eat it?" Yu and Yu Tong were surprised, they only knew that fish could be eaten, and these things could also be eaten? Especially the one called the crab, how to eat it with a hard shell? Isn't it poisonous?
"It's delicious." Mu Xiaohua couldn't help but salivate when she thought of spicy crayfish, spicy crab and crab roe soup.
Since Mu Xiaohua said that it was delicious to eat, Yu and Yu Tong naturally no longer questioned it, and first tried the depth with stones and wooden branches. found that the river was indeed not deep, so the three of them went down to the river, after all, some rivers do not look deep, but they are actually very deep, and they will be deceived by measuring the depth of the river with their eyes.
The river is about three or four meters wide, the depth of the river varies, the shallow one on the side is only to Mu Xiaohua's knees, and the deeper one in the middle can reach her thighs, don't look at the shrimp and crabs in the river It looks like there are many, but it is not easy to catch, after all, it is necessary to prevent being stabbed or pinched, there are many natural enemies of shrimp and crabs in this river, so it is very flexible to dodge.
After tossing for a while, Mu Xiaohua didn't catch anything, but Yu and Yu Tong caught two crabs respectively. Under the command of Mu Xiaohua, the crab's big pincers were broken, and then tied up and hung outside the back basket.
Crabs like to hide under cracks in stones, and like to be in shallower water, much easier to catch than shrimp, the three of them tossed for a while, and caught five, but only one shrimp was caught.
"This shrimp is very difficult to catch, it will sting people if it runs fast, and it is not easy to fork if it is too small." Yu shook his head and sighed.
Mu Xiaohua nodded with deep feeling: "This shrimp has a net." Then he looked at Yu Tong excitedly: "Let's make a net for the net of prey, and then make a fishing net!" ā
"Fishing nets?" Yu and Yu Tong heard something new again.
Mu Xiaohua began to explain to the two of them what a fishing net is, including the style of the fishing net, the advantages and importance of using it, and finally said.
"For example, if there are many shrimps and fish in the river and it is difficult to catch them, not only can they be netted, but the number of nets will be many at one time. And you can also cast a net in the lake, cast the net down, and just put it like that, if there are many fish in the lake, you can catch a lot of fish. However, nets made of tree bark should not be used to cast nets, but it is perfectly possible to fish in the river in this way. ā
In the end, through the efforts of the three people, they still caught about a pound of shrimp, and the crabs caught about 20 crabs.
Go back to the fishing spot, cut a large bundle of cattailgrass and go home.
Although there were only two fish, the unexpected harvest of shrimp and crabs filled the food portion.
Mu Xiaohua was in a very good mood, Yu and Yutong didn't know the taste of shrimp and crabs, they couldn't understand the edible value, and they didn't feel anything special, but seeing Mu Xiaohua happy, their mood was also very good.
When the three of them returned to the tribe, the sun had already set on the western hills, and when they walked to the millet field, they met Ah Xin, who was pulling weeds in the field with his family.
The family was just going home from work, and the two sides met at the single-plank bridge and said hello briefly.
Mu Xiaohua found that Ah Xin, who usually had eyes shining and quickly stuck to Yu when she saw her, didn't pounce on Yu today, and she was a little cautious when greeting.
"Are you fishing in the lake in the woods? Sister Xiaohua, what are you carrying here? ā
"yes!" Jie also looked at the things Mu Xiaohua was carrying strangely, "Was this caught in the lake?" I've seen it in the river, what are you doing here? ā
Mu Xiaohua carried a crab tied with a rope twisted with reed leaves, Yu Tong resisted the cattail, and Yu carried a basket with cattails and duck eggs, carrying a bucket containing two fish in one hand and a bucket of river shrimp in the other, and their goal was to catch two buckets of fish......
However, today's harvest is bigger than two buckets of fish.
"It's a crab, it's to be eaten." Mu Xiaohua smiled.
Ah Xin and her family were shocked, Ah Xin looked at the crab in Mu Xiaohua's hand in horror, looked at her with wide eyes and said, "Can you eat this ugly thing?" Sister Xiaohua, how can you eat anything here? ā
When he said this, Mu Xiaohua had a black line, "It's not that everything can be eaten here, but these things can be eaten in the first place." ā
"Is it delicious?" Ah Xin's face was disgusted and questioning.
Mu Xiaohua nodded: "Of course." ā
Ah Xin shook her head in disagreement, turned her head to look at Yu, pursed her lips, opened her mouth, and looked like she wanted to say something but didn't dare to say it, with a tangled face.
Yu pursed his lower lip slightly and asked, "What's wrong?" (To be continued.) )
