He Beichen continued. "Although you are not begging for food, but you are in this family, you can't wait for your stepmother to take the initiative to give you food."

Gu Mai nodded vigorously. "Little brother is right, I will fight for it in the future, I can't go hungry anymore."

He Beichen helped her lift the basket. "Let's go, let's go find the pheasants."

"Are there many pheasants at this time? Is it easy to catch? Gu Mai asked curiously. In my memory, it was easier to go to the mountains to catch pheasants in winter, right?

He Beichen said as he walked. "At this time, although the ice and snow melted in the spring, and some small green grass emerged, there were still no insects growing in the land, and pheasants like to eat insects in the soil the most, well...... It's still their starvation period. ”

"Oh!"

On a small hillside, He Beichen stopped, then took down the basket he was carrying, and put it upside down on the ground, with a lot of sesame oil mixed with grain deflated below.

Then he led her into hiding under a tree, the branches of which had not yet budded, and were branching. But hiding two people is still more than wrong.

Gu Mai asked anxiously. "Little brother, is there a pheasant here? I look empty, there's nothing. ”

He Beichen raised his finger and put it to his lips. "Shh......h Don't talk, you'll scare the pheasant away. ”

"But no......" she lowered her voice.

She was so curious about catching pheasants, it was entirely because she had deliberately gone to Changbai Mountain to catch pheasants in her previous life, but their group didn't catch anything.

Pitifully looking at the other teams, she returned with a full load, she never knew the trick.

He Beichen whispered. "You see, there are no pheasants now, but pheasants are very fast, and very secretive animals, and they may appear without you noticing, and pheasants are not used to acting alone, they often act together in two or three. The slopes here are sunny, the sun is shining, and the snow and water melt more thoroughly, so the land here is relatively wet, which is conducive to pheasant hunting, so they will come over in a while. ”

Sure enough, soon a black pheasant jumped out of the dead branch on the side, and moved quickly, eating the grain deflated seeds mixed with sesame oil, and then two pheasants flew in and began to eat.

Gu Mai looked at the three pheasants with his eyes, and slowly approached the basket along the way of eating the grains, just as the three pheasants entered the basket, He Beichen suddenly dragged it in his hand, and all the baskets were buckled, and the three pheasants were all detained.

"Caught." Gu Mai shouted excitedly.

He Beichen hooked the corners of his mouth, ran directly towards the basket, and skillfully tied up the three pheasants.

Looking at the captured prey, Gu Mai looked at him with even more admiring eyes. "Little brother, you are really amazing,

He Beichen hooked the corners of his mouth. "I'll make you pheasants to eat in a while, it's delicious."

"Okay!"

He Beichen led Gu Mai to an abandoned house on the side of the road, where there was a broken pot and some chopping wood.

"You wait for me here now, I'll go outside and scoop some water, and I'll be back soon." He Beichen said.

Gu Mai nodded obediently.

He Beichen's movements were fast, as if this kind of thing was already a matter of course, he made half a pot of water, put it on an iron shelf, and then started to make a fire.

After that, he grabbed a pheasant and bent the pheasant's head to his back.
