Chapter 24: Together
And Ye Xiaolou, who left, didn't know that in ancient times, a man's name could not be called directly, so she complained while chopping branches with a hunting knife.
"Hmph, I'm not old, I'm not small-minded, who is it?"
But immediately the corners of his mouth curled, this guy loves to be neat and clean, let him dig traps, hehe, this method is really good.
Ye Xiaolou praised his wit.
Then I started cutting branches in earnest, and really, making traps for catching rabbits, whether it was difficult or not, whether it was easy or not, which was actually a technical job.
This is mainly reflected in the traps that make them.
After Ye Xiaolou took the cut branches, picked up a small stone, and came back beautifully.
Sure enough, I saw the young man in front of me, sitting on the round basket on the side with a stinky face, looking at her with a resentful face, as if she had abandoned it from the beginning.
When I looked closely, I saw that his white shirt and the boots on his feet were now covered with mud, and even his clean face was not spared, and the square scarf on his head was crooked.
Ye Xiaolou couldn't hold back when he saw this, and laughed out loud.
The mood instantly became happy, a pair of beautiful big eyes smiled into a crescent moon, and said gloatingly: "Eh, how did you get this?" ”
"How old are you, still playing with mud?"
The young man was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes narrowed slightly, and his gaze became more and more cold.
And the girl in front of her, with a smile on her face, was not afraid at all.
Glancing at the trap, he said helplessly, "I've only dug a few times, and I'm tired?" ”
"You can't do it like this, huh?"
As soon as these words fell, the young man instantly turned his head and glanced at her coldly, his eyes full of danger.
Ye Xiaolou accepted it when he saw it, so he simply picked up the shovel directly, and after a while, a deep pit with a diameter of about thirty and a depth of about eighty was dug.
Then he picked up the hunting knife, brushed the brush, and after a few clicks, several branches of similar thickness and length were neatly placed on the side.
Ye Xiaolou methodically picked up the palm-sized stone, began to set the stake into the soil, tied the wooden pot lid with a rope, and then knocked it in the round pit, and then placed a few small branches, so tossed, a trap to catch a hare was completed.
The young man's eyes on the side never left the busy little figure, and when he saw her stop, he was a little curious, "That's good?" ”
Ye Xiaolou stood up, clapped his hands, and said confidently: "Naturally." ”
"Well, you've got a good look at it."
After finishing speaking, he took the stone in his hand and gently threw it into the pit, which happened to hit the mechanism, and then I heard a bang, and the wooden lid fell directly.
Just cover the round hole underneath.
A hint of surprise flashed in the young man's eyes, and Ye Xiaolou said with a smile: "How is it?" ”
"This girl's shot is naturally extraordinary, wait, you will definitely be able to eat roast rabbit meat today."
After finishing speaking, the wooden pot lid was restored, this thing was quite heavy, it was made of solid wood, and I didn't have to worry about the hare running away.
Then he set up the trap in the pit, put the cabbage he had brought from home on it, and then looked around for alfalfa grass, which the rabbit loved to eat.
After putting it away, Ye Xiaolou patted the dust on his hands, "Okay, everything is ready, just the hare." ”
"Let's go."
"Let's catch some sparrows while we're ready."
"I went over there to chop branches, and I just found a good place."
...
I have to say that Ye Xiaolou's ability to survive in the wild is really powerful, and after a while, another trap to catch sparrows with a round basket is done.
This one is much simpler than a rabbit trap, you just need to hang the basket diagonally, make a trap with a branch, and then put the rope on a long line and throw a small handful of corn under the basket.
Just wait for the birds to come and find food, and then pull the string to lower the basket to catch it.
It's a test of patience and hand speed, as well as the ability to anticipate.
The two of them lay motionless two meters away from the trap, staring at their prey like this, waiting for the sparrow to enter the urn.
Sure enough, the hard work paid off, and I saw Ye Xiaolou pull the line, and with a bang, the round basket quickly landed, startling several sparrows, and also leaving behind the companions who didn't have time to fly away.
Ye Xiaolou said happily: "Hurry up, there is a harvest." ”
The boy also got up and followed behind him with a look of hope.
"Look, two more have been caught, what a stupid bird here."
"In addition to the one we caught before, there are now four, two for each person, and the stomach will be cushioned first."
After finishing speaking, he put away the tools neatly, and did not forget to pack the corn on the ground, although it was soiled, but it can be used next time.
The young man silently followed behind Ye Xiaolou.
Until the fire was set up, and the rich aroma of barbecue broke into his nose, Cui Yuanheng was still a little unable to come back to his senses.
Looking at the girl in front of him who was still beautiful without powder, he felt like a dream.
He lived seventeen years, seventeen years, and never so wanton.
The weak body has ruined all his possibilities, and now, he actually has such a wanton day?
And all of this was brought by the girl in front of her.
It may be that the young man's gaze is too hot, and it is difficult for Ye Xiaolou to ignore it.
So while flipping the red willow branches of the sparrows, he turned his head and said with a smile: "In a hurry? ”
The boy was stunned, but a roasted sparrow appeared in front of him without warning.
Then I saw the girl smile and said, "Smell it, isn't it fragrant?" ”
"Hey, incense, right?"
"But I'll have to wait a while before I can eat it."
After hearing this, the young man's face was a little stiff, and he was faintly hot, and he didn't know whether it was ashamed or fire.
However, looking at the sparrows sizzling on the flames with golden sides on both sides, the gravy was emitting a tantalizing fat aroma.
The boy looked at the earnest-looking girl again, and swallowed his saliva without a hint.
"It's very fragrant."
I don't know if I'm talking about roasted sparrows or people.
Of course, Ye Xiaolou didn't think much about it at all, and added his lower lip with a bright smile, "Wait, sprinkle some salt, bake it and you can eat it." ”
The young man nodded silently, and after a while, Ye Xiaolou handed him a string, "This string is ready, you eat it first, be careful of scalding." ”
The young man took it silently, looking at her eyes flickering.
The sun is sloping westward, the river is sparkling, and on the green slope not far from the river, the young man is silent, the girl is smiling like a flower, and there is a bonfire in front of him, and one person is holding a string of roasted sparrows to eat.
And when the two of them were stealing food, Cui Yulan's little girl was catching fish in the river with a sad face.
Although it was the end of February, the river was still cold, and the little girl looked stubborn.
"I don't believe it, I won't be able to catch fish without her broom star."
"Little sister, you wait, my sister will definitely catch a fish bigger than her for you to eat."
Cui Yulan, who was choked for a breath, shivered and still persisted.
As a result, at this moment, Ye Zhaodi, who was wearing a light cyan coarse cloth dress, was as thin as her mother, and had a big face and hanging eyes, and was carrying a wooden basin to wash clothes by the river, and happened to bump into her.
originally wanted to turn around and leave, but immediately thought of Ye Xiaolou's broom star, and she froze in place.
Now she has become the laughing stock of the whole village, no, not only her, but her whole family has become a laughing stock.
