Chapter 41: The Serpent and the Fish
The small river in Fangjia Village, no more than seven or eight meters wide, is a tributary of the Han River, the depth of the river is three or five meters deep, it is not a big river, it can only be regarded as a small river, the small river passes by the rice field of Fangjia Village, there are paddy fields on the other side of the river, but not much, mainly because the mountain is too close, more paddy fields can not be reclaimed, the water of the paddy field is mainly the diversion of water in the small river for irrigation, Fangjia Village depends on this small river to live, the water in the small river is light blue, you can't see what the bottom of the water is, the small river is overgrown with weeds, Maybe some snakes and rats exist.
Fang Jing took the four babies to the edge of the river, put down the basket and the broken knife, and beat it in the weeds by the river with a bamboo fork, a pale yellow grass snake of nearly two meters ran out, Fang Jing hurriedly stepped on the neck of the grass snake with his feet, and twisted his legs hard, and the grass snake returned to the underworld, but the snake body and snake head were still moving.
"Ahhh When the grass snake flew out of the weeds just now, it broke a group of little babies.
"Cousin, such a big snake, don't be bitten, it's poisonous." When the grass snake came out, Da Chu hurriedly said to his cousin.
"At the beginning, you see, this snake is not poisonous, this snake is called a grass snake, the most common snake, it bites it is a little blood, or itch a few times, of course, don't let it bite, if you really want to bite, just make this dandelion chew and lie in the bite place." Fang Jing took the trampled grass snake and said to Da Chu, the three little babies on the side were so frightened that they all ran away, but they also stretched out their heads to look at the snake in Fang Jing's hand and listened to what Fang Jing said.
"Cousin, is this really not poisonous?" Da Chu still didn't quite believe what Fang Jing said, and wanted to confirm it again.
"Well, as long as it's this snake, it's not venomous." Fang Jing nodded in confirmation.
"I'll take it back and get a snake soup or snake soup later, such a big one, don't waste it." Fang Jing threw the snake into the basket and carried it towards the small river beach he had just found.
The bamboo fork in Fang Jing's hand knocked into the weeds from time to time, and something came out of the weeds from time to time, the most frogs, the most mice, and the least snakes, of course, the four-legged snake was not counted, this hundred meters away, Fang Jing killed the three largest grass snakes, and of course also killed a poisonous snake, which was black and white, black and white, and it was also a common poisonous snake.
"Dachu, little sister, Daying Xiaozhi, you remember, this black and white snake is called a silver snake one by one, it is very poisonous, and there are a lot of it, when you see this kind of snake, stay away from it, don't be bitten, it's really going to be bitten and basically can't be saved." Fang Jing was speechless about the current medical conditions, there was really no way.
Several little babies were frightened by Fang Jing's words and hurried away, for fear of being bitten by the krait snake that was already too dead to die, but fortunately, the little babies were very vigilant, and Fang Jing was also at ease.
Coming to the small river beach of the river, everyone stepped on the river beach, the comfort brought by the fine sand made the little babies very excited, stepping on the sand, Fang Yuan stepped on the shoes dirty, Fang Jing hurriedly helped take off the little sister's shoes, and took off her shoes and went down to the river beach.
Fang Jing held the bamboo fork, his eyes looked at the water, there were a lot of small fish, and the big ones had not been seen yet, Fang Jing wondered if he was hiding in the aquatic plants under the water or by the small river, such a big sun, but he really wouldn't come out, it was a bit troublesome to catch fish now.
Fang Jing was thinking about how to catch fish, but the little babies were picking up something on the river beach, Fang Jing walked over to see, it turned out to be small screws and some small river mussels, which is also good, but more, less is not interesting, Fang Jing saw that the river beach in front of him was so big, and small screws and river mussels couldn't pick up much.
Fang Jing didn't wait for anything, he went directly into the river, and began to touch the soil along the bottom of the river with both hands, and what he touched was nothing.
Touching all the way, the water is getting deeper and deeper, Fang Jing touched some big screws and big river mussels, got out of the water and threw them on the river beach, and then touched it, after a quarter of an hour, Fang Jing came out of the water and returned to the river beach, and found that he had found a lot of screws and river mussels, enough for a plate, but he just didn't catch a fish, which made Fang Jing not happy enough.
Fang Jing went into the water again, this would swim directly into the weeds by the river, and when his feet could step on the mud, he would stretch out his hands to touch the aquatic weeds, no matter what he could touch, at least he was sure that the fish would basically be in the aquatic weeds.
"Duh" A palm-sized fish jumped out of the water, after Fang Jing saw it, he reached out and fished it, but he didn't catch it, and the judgment was wrong, and the fish jumped forward.
"Brother, there are fish, there are fish." Fang Yuan jumped and screamed on the river beach.
"Well, there are fish, you don't have to go into the water." Fang Jing didn't want a few little babies to go into the water or fall into the water.
Fang Jing touched forward again, and a bigger fish jumped out of the water, Fang Jing was quick this time, he fished in his hand, threw it away, the fish drew a parabola, and fell on the river beach, several little babies yelled, and rushed to catch the fish together, but after the fish came ashore, it was slippery, and if they basically didn't know the essentials, the little babies couldn't catch the fish.
Fang Jing continued to touch forward, throwing the fish on the river beach one by one, Fang Jing calculated in his heart that there were almost seven or eight of them, so he stopped touching the fish forward, quickly swam back to the river beach, and went up to the river beach wet, the little babies have been catching fish, and they have not all caught the fish in the mud and sand of the river beach into the basket.
Fang Jing hurriedly picked up the fish and threw it into the basket, and called the little babies to come ashore, don't play anymore, and be ready to go home in a while.
Helping the little sister wash her feet and put on her shoes, Fang Jing carried the basket and carried three bamboo forks, and walked home with the little babies, holding the extra bamboo forks in her hands, at least Fang Jing felt that it was redundant, it didn't play a role, it was really a waste of Fang Jing's mind and strength, Fang Jing sighed secretly in her heart, and she really wanted to throw the bamboo fork away.
The people in the courtyard looked at Fang Jing and them coming back, full of baskets of fish and mussels, and they also admired Fang Jing's ability in their hearts.
"Jing Wazi, have you caught so many fish in such a short time? This can last for days. Fang Dayong looked at the fish and mussel snails in the basket and said enviously.
"Uncle Dayong, there are a lot of fish in the river, or Uncle Dayong, you can make a bamboo basket to net fish if you have time, so you don't have to go into the water." Fang Jing felt that it was not good to go into the water too much, who knew what was in the water.
"Can a bamboo basket catch fish? Isn't it necessary to use the Internet? "Fang Dayong may not really know about net fish, the ancestors of Fangjia Village are from the northwest, there is little water, and if there is water, they only use nets to net fish, and they may not understand much about fish under the bamboo basket.
"Uncle Dayong, I'll tell you when I'm free." Fang Jing felt that he had to deal with the fish screws and mussels and snakes first, so he took a basket out of the house and put the fish in the basket, as well as three grass snakes.
"Jing Wazi, this is poisonous, you can't eat it, throw it away." Chen Erlin watched Fang Jing pull out three snakes from the basket, he was shocked.
"Uncle, this is a grass snake, it's not poisonous, it's not a poisonous snake, it's edible, I still want to make dragon and phoenix soup." Fang Jing hurriedly explained, Fang Jing didn't want to be misunderstood.
"Brother Chen, this snake meat is edible, as long as the head is chopped off, what we didn't eat when we marched and fought in the past is also eaten by catching rats and snakes, as long as it is not bitten, it will not be poisonous." Fang Dayong also talked about his past to explain that snake meat was edible.
Chen Erlin also stopped talking, he only knew that he basically killed snakes when he saw them in Chenjiawan, and no one had eaten them, and some snakes bit people, and they were basically not saved, so he had a natural fear of snakes in his heart.
Fang Jing didn't care about anything, he went to the ditch with two baskets to deal with it, peeled the snake meat and cut the fish to remove the internal organs, the screws and mussels had to be raised with oil for a few days, but there was no extra bucket at home, only an iron pot brought by his uncle could be used, and the screws and river mussels were poured into the iron pot, and he thought that there was no oil, so he could only wait for the night to get darker, and let the gods get a little.
"At the beginning of the year, you go to the dog's house and call the dog's baby, and then go into the mountains to see if you have any harvest from the cover." Fang Jing called Dachu to call the dog baby, and Fang Jing started to pick up and prepare things.
The dog baby and Da Chu entered the courtyard around the same time, and asked the two of them to carry a basket each, and Fang Jing carried a broken knife and walked towards the mountains and forests.
Fang Jing and the three of them came to the edge of the forest, and slowly walked towards the place where they got off the trap in the morning, also because of the overgrown weeds and thorns, which made the three of them slower in speed, if it was Fang Jing alone, a few jumps would be there.
It was also difficult for the three of them to walk all the way, but they also reached the position of the lower cover, perhaps because of the short time, the first cover was empty, and there was no prey.
Walking towards the second set again, it was still empty, and the two little babies began to be lost, feeling that this was because they hadn't learned Fang Jing's skills, and they felt a little sad.
The three of them walked to the third position, and finally saw a rabbit, and the two little babies jumped happily, and the two people who untied the cover held the rabbit and laughed vigorously.
Fang Jing saw that the two little babies couldn't find the north happily, and after the two little babies laughed, they started talking non-stop, one said how many prey they wanted, and the other said how to make it delicious for their mother, Fang Jing didn't care, you can drop whatever you like, anyway, how many will be counted in a while, even if you don't get a pheasant or pheasant, you have to catch one, otherwise tonight's dragon and phoenix soup will be no fun.
"You two stop, try not to talk loudly in this mountain forest, otherwise there are big animals, listening to the sound, they will come." Fang Jing really didn't want to listen to the babbling of the two little babies.
After Fang Jing and the three of them checked the simple sleeve all the way, they harvested three rabbits and one roe deer, and prepared to move forward to the stilt cover in front to see if there was any harvest.
In the end, the three of them checked the sling-leg covers, except for the rabbit is a rabbit, there is no other thing, more than 20 sets, a total of eight rabbits, this probability is also half of the percentage, which also shows that the two little babies are out of the school, there is no need to teach anymore, Fang Jing also silently felt that it was okay to be out of the school, so the three of them carried the basket and walked back, but the pheasant did not wow, what about the dragon and phoenix soup?
When Fang Jing and the three of them were about to walk out of the forest, they asked the two little babies to continue walking, Fang Jing said that they were going to catch a pheasant, but the two little babies wanted to see how Fang Jing caught the pheasant.
"I've taught you how to set rabbits, it's the same if you want to set pheasants, I just saw a few pheasants in front of me, and I want the cat to go over and catch them secretly, plus I run fast." Fang Jing turned on the mode of cheating children.
"Cousin, I just want to learn how to catch pheasants." Tai's original idea was simple.
"Brother Jing, I also want to learn to catch pheasants." The dog baby followed.
"Learn a fart, learn again in a few days, I can't catch a pheasant in a while, how to make dragon and phoenix soup, you go home for me, I'll follow you immediately, go back." Fang Jing had no choice but to order them to walk towards the edge of the forest.
