Chapter Ninety-One: Catching Fish

From this day on, Lin Qingqing's symptoms of drowsiness disappeared. It seems that overnight, the daily groggy mushroom Liang became energetic and began to toss a life.

When the snow began to melt, it was Lin Qingqing who was the first to find out.

Since the abnormal symptoms on her body disappeared, her body has begun to fully adapt to the world. The cold of winter is no longer as sharp for her as before. She had been able to spend two or three hours in the snow with her fur wrapped in a coat of hides. This kind of physique is not far from that of the women in the village.

When people are spiritual, they have more requirements for life. Lin Qingqing had eaten enough meat, so she wanted to change her taste. But in this cold and snowy world, where do you go to find other food? Even in the spring, when everything recovers, it is not easy to find a new recipe.

Who is Keling? Lin Qingqing's dearest boyfriend has been spoiling her since the day he chased her. Hearing that her girl was tired of eating meat, Ling couldn't help but nod with empathy. Although this skin has been like this since childhood, the meat is boiled in white water every day. But at the end of the day, the change of the soul also affects people's tastes. He didn't want to eat meat for a long time!

Now when she heard that her girl wanted to go out and look for new food, Ling moved her mind.

First of all, you can't go to the mountains. Although the snow is beginning to show signs of melting, the snow is deeper in the mountains than in the villages, where there are many wild animals. He can't guarantee safety when he goes up the mountain alone, and I'm afraid he won't even be able to walk at the foot of the mountain with a woman.

Now, I can only think of ideas in the flat ground.

Look around. There was a thick layer of snow everywhere. And it is not as deep as the door of the house, and the depth of the snow elsewhere is estimated to bury Lin Qingqing who is standing upright. Ling smiled bitterly, turned his head to look at his girl, and sighed, "Wife, I guess it's still not good." ”

Lin Qingqing blinked and looked at her man suspiciously, "What's not going to work?" Why not? Haven't you eaten enough of the frozen meat in the cellar? We don't have much of a dried vegetable in stock, and we'll see the bottom in a few days. It's a good day, let's not go out to find out, how long are we waiting? ”

Ling looked at the size of her own girl, and then at the height of the snow outside. I thought about it. Or to be honest: "Wife, I mean, you're still too short, take you to drag your feet." ”

"......" Lin Qingqing rolled his eyes. Say simply. "Then I won't follow. Go on your own. Hey, wait, where are you going without me? "The snow in the village is deep. But the patrol team cleared a road. In addition, every family has cleaned up their own doors, so there are still many places she can go in the village.

Ling Hehe smiled, leaned into his girl's ear and said, "By the river, catch fish." ”

Catch fish? Lin Qingqing was stunned and said, "The river is frozen!" How do you catch it? Oh, no, I see! Lin Qingqing's eyes widened sharply, grabbed Ling's arm and shouted, "I know, I know!" Husband, you're so smart! ”

What the hell is going on?

cough cough cough, this one still has to start with the masterpieces that Lin Qingqing has seen. Those who love to read novels basically know that in winter, the river freezes, what should you do if you want to catch fish? Quite simply, the tool only requires a shovel. Well, if you don't, you can do it. Of course, it is still built with stones, and the slabs and bricks are more fragile and not suitable.

Because the river is frozen, there is less oxygen under the ice. So after smashing the ice out of the hole, the fish under the ice will quickly gather under the hole and jump on the ice with a "bang". Although this behavior is tantamount to a moth to a fire and suicide and self-abuse, people can never stop the fish.

Ling hugged Lin Qingqing and walked around in the snow a few times, then laughed and kissed her, and said, "Wife, you are the smartest." If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have thought of this method. "He's not a novel-lover person, so it's hard to think of that. knew that he could catch fish in such a way because Lin Qingqing had mentioned it to him before.

However, Lin Qingqing frowned and said, "Husband, who did you date?" You can't go by yourself. "Not to mention that in an open place like the river, it is not safe for no one to sentry; Even if a person is safe, smashing ice also requires someone to change hands. Another is the old saying, food is the big thing.

Now that most of the winter has passed, the food stored by the villagers is probably almost consumed. Other people's families don't know, but Lin Qingqing's own family, she and Ling both began to cut back on food and clothing. Although it is still three meals a day, in the end there is less meat in the pot and more soup. According to Ling's meaning, why do you eat so much meat if you don't work in winter? You'll get fat!

Although I don't know how many fish there are in the river, Lin Qingqing thinks that there should be a lot. The species here are very large, and a fish is dozens of catties at least. The bones are light, and there are many edible parts.

Therefore, Lin Qingqing felt that it was better to share the fish he caught with the villagers. Otherwise, it's too eye-catching!

Ling listened to his girl's thoughts, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Wife, I found Shi and them together." After a while, the fish will be caught, and it will be distributed collectively. ”

There are rules in the village that the amount of food found in winter, no matter how small, is to be distributed collectively. Not for anything else, but to inspire everyone to unite and help each other through difficulties.

Lin Qingqing pursed his mouth and snorted. Xindao, the rules in this village are quite complete!

It's just that in this way, Lin Qingqing is really not good to follow. When a man is working, it doesn't seem like a woman always following behind her ass! What's more, even if she went, Ling didn't have time to take care of her. So, she still didn't go to join in the fun.

Thinking about it like this, Lin Qingqing's delicate and flying little face was a little lost.

Ling looked at it, held her little face and kissed the tip of her cold nose, and comforted: "Tomorrow, I'll play with you tomorrow, okay?" ”

Lin Qingqing blinked, leaned up and kissed Ling on the lips, and said softly, "I'm not such an ignorant person. Husband, you're going to get down to business, I know. Don't worry, I'll wait for you at home, don't run around. ”

After appeasing Lin Qingqing, Ling asked the patrolling people a few words. Pay more attention to yourself. Although the beast did not enter the village this year, there was only Lin Qingqing in the family, and he was always not at ease.

Lin Qingqing stood in the courtyard, waved his hand at his man obediently, and raised his voice: "Husband, pay attention to safety!" "But don't fall into the ice hole! After a pause, she added, "Come back early." ”

As soon as the words fell, Lin Qingqing heard a burst of laughter from the crowd where Ling was. She snorted a few times coquettishly, and said in her heart. What's so funny about it? The people who laugh must be single rough men who no one cares about!

Under the sky. A snow-white patch. Ling, as a pirated indigenous man, felt that he could easily lose his way in this situation, so he handed over the task of leading the team to Shi. He himself followed behind the stone, gesturing and explaining to everyone how to catch fish for a while.

Although Ling is the number one warrior in the village. Hunting is also a good hand. But catch fish. Can he really do it? Especially when you hear that you smash a hole in the ice, the fish will jump up on their own. Such a miraculous thing obviously makes most people unable to believe it.

Ling looked at everyone's half-believing looks, and didn't explain much, only said, "Whether it will be successful or not." You'll find out in a moment. ”

Shi nodded, and said seriously: "If this method is really useful, we will be able to eat more things in the winter in the future." As a result, fewer people will starve to death in winter. "There are no beasts attacking the village this winter, which looks good. But in fact, there are not a few people who should starve to death and freeze to death.

Ling listened to Shi's words, his face couldn't help but be stunned, and he asked out loud: "Shi, how many people have gone to the village this year?" ”

Shi sighed, his face a little ugly. "Counting the two Black Mountain Daddy who went yesterday, there are more than 30 people in total." There's no way around it. Cubs have fewer children, and many couples may not have a child in their lifetime. When such a partner is old, naturally there is no one to support him. How can the old and infirm, with no one to help them, survive the winter?

It was not easy for all the families in the village to live, and the only old people who could be supported were wise men except for priests. It was because Shi proposed to treat Lin Qingqing as a wise man at the beginning, but in fact, he also valued her. After all, even if you are a healthy and normal adult woman, you may not necessarily have your own little cub after you get together.

Ling's face was also condensed, "So many? How did they get there? ”

Shi sighed and said, "How else can I go?" Either starve to death or freeze to death. Daddy Montenegro was also a good hunter when he was young, but unfortunately he was injured later and broke a leg. Yesterday I called the door and no one answered, so I knew something was wrong. Shouting force, they pushed the door and went in to see, the two of them were lying on the bed wrapped in a piece of animal skin, the firewood in the house had not been lit for several days, and there was only a little water in the pot. I'm afraid it's been a few days since I've been out of food and fire......"

All of a sudden, the atmosphere of the whole team became solemn. Everyone seemed to foresee their future from the bleak evening scene of Daddy Montenegro. After all, not everyone can find a woman to partner with, and even if they do, not all partners can have their own children. With two children like Shi, it's a lot of luck!

The sluggish atmosphere did not spread for long. After a while, everyone walked to the river. Thinking that they would be able to bring back fresh food for their families in a while, everyone's feelings became excited.

Several people put the bamboo baskets on their backs on the ground, and then took out the stone hammers and shovels and other tools prepared in advance. Before smashing the ice, it is always necessary to clean up the snow on the ice. The snow wasn't deep, but it was knee-high. The men worked neatly, and cleared a large area of ice in a few minutes.

Because this idea was proposed by Ling, everyone has no experience. Whether it is done in detail depends on Ling.

Ling thought for a moment and said, "You all know that before I met Qingqing, I didn't know this method. So this is the first time for me to discuss it together. Anyone who has an idea can talk about it, don't just point at me. "Since he is the next village chief, and his girl is a person with big ideals, Ling Xiang, now he has to start helping his own girl cultivate the team. Of course, this is also a help for his future.

If you want to do great things, you can never do it alone.

Because they were not sure of the load-bearing weight of the ice, Ling and they did not dare to take risks, so they finally decided to smash a few holes one and a half meters away from the shore. After smashing the ice cave, you can decide on the next strategy based on the situation.

Once the steps are decided, the crowd moves on. Ling and Shi each led a group, each group of four people, and began to smash holes to fish at a distance of twenty meters. The early process is very smooth. The men in the village may not have other skills, but they always have a lot of strength.

An ice cave with a diameter of one meter was smashed out in the blink of an eye. Scooping out the ice floe on the surface of the water and throwing it aside, a man was surprised: "Ling, this water is hot." ”

Ling smiled and nodded, "Not really." If it's as cold under the ice as it is above, won't all the fish have to freeze to death? But the water is not hot, it's just warmer than your hands. ”

The man nodded and said with emotion, "This is also good, thanks to this fish, otherwise we want to catch it...... Hey, fish! Fish are out! The man's voice paused, and then he shouted loudly, his voice full of surprise and excitement. Fish! There really are fish! ”

It's just a matter of the front and back feet, there was just a fish out of the water on Ling's side, and there was movement on Shi's side. Ling followed the shouts of the men and looked over, only to see a large and fat fish gliding through a silver line in the air, and then "banging" on the hard ice.

The corners of the stone mouth twitched, and the people were so excited that they couldn't speak. After a while, he threw away the stone hammer in his hand, stretched out his arms and ran on the shore, shouting as he ran: "There is something to eat!" There's something to eat! There's something to eat......"

Ling squinted at Shi who was extremely excited, and just as he wanted to tease him a few words, his eyes caught a glimpse of tears in the corners of his eyes. He swallowed and swallowed the words back. Forget it, the poor village chief probably never caught a fish in the winter. He won't bother with him!

In just half an hour, the fish on the ice were piled up in layers. Ling and the others were not idle, they jumped directly on the ice and threw the fish on the shore. How unsafe it is to stay here, what if one accidentally goes back to his parents' house?

Because the situation was unclear at the beginning, Ling and each of them only carried a bamboo basket. Ling estimated that this batch of fish was at least a few thousand catties, and all their loading tools were far from enough. As soon as Shi saw this, he hurriedly sent people back to gather people. Idle people, both men and women, dogs who can come hurry up!

If the amount of fish in this batch is boiled in soup, it will be enough for the people in the village to eat for several days. So Shi is very concerned about this matter, and he must not make a mistake. (To be continued......)

ps: The second watch is coming, the little pear is so sleepy, but there are still four thousand. If you don't finish writing, the full attendance will be gone......
