Chapter Sixty-Eight: Bird Hunting in the Snow
Liu Yiyu returned to the bamboo house, wanted the fifth brother to take the fish to the kitchen, and after taking a hoe and a basket by himself, he walked to the open space outside the bamboo house.
"Sister, where are you going?" After Liu Yihao, who came out of the kitchen, saw his eldest sister walking out with a hoe and a basket, Liu Yihao shouted at Liu Yiyu.
"Fifth brother, let's go, let's catch birds together." Liu Yiyu beckoned Liu Yihao to go with him.
"Eldest sister, the birds are flying in the sky, we don't have bows and arrows, we can't shoot them, besides, we don't know how to bow and arrows, how can we catch the birds?" Yoo Yihao asked puzzled.
"Eldest sister, I have my own way, you go to the kitchen and get a bowl out, grab two handfuls of brown rice, and take out the other two hoes at home, which will be useful to the eldest sister later." Liu Yiyu instructed Liu Yihao.
Although Yoo Yihao had doubts in his heart, he didn't ask too much, turned around and went to the kitchen to get a bowl and grab two handfuls of brown rice.
Liu Li, who was cooking in the kitchen, was a little puzzled when he saw Liu Yihao go out with a bowl and raw brown rice, and Liu Li asked puzzledly, "Goro, what are you doing with these things?" If you are hungry, your mother has a cake that will be baked first, and if you are hungry, you will pad your stomach first, and your mother will make the meal immediately."
"Mother, I didn't, the eldest sister told me to take it, and the eldest sister said it would be useful." Liu Yihao didn't look back.
As for Liu Li's hearing Liu Yihao say that these things were taken out by his eldest sister, Liu Li didn't ask much, Fangzheng's family is now run by the eldest sister, and the eldest sister has come up with all the ways to make money in the family, and now the eldest sister asked Wulang to take these things out, maybe the eldest sister has thought of some way to make her own money? .
After Liu Yihao came out with a bowl and brown rice from the kitchen, and put it in Liu Yiyu's back basket, Liu Yihao turned around and took a hoe.
"Let's go!". Liu Yiyu took Liu Yihao and walked to the open space outside the bamboo house.
Liu Yiyu said as he walked, "Fifth brother, I will dig out the grass roots on the open space later, bury them with snow, and then fill in the pits."
"Well, big sister, I get it."
"Sister, what are you doing here?" Xun'er, who was playing, saw Liu Yiyu and Liu Yihao holding hoes and digging grass roots, and after digging the grass roots, they stopped playing with the sixth sister and them, ran over, and asked Liu Yiyu.
"Eldest sister will catch birds later? Xun'er, there is still a hoe left, and you will also dig out the grass roots in this meadow." Liu Yiyu said.
"Big sister, Cheng".
"Big sister catches birds, how to catch them, you teach me." At this time, after the sixth sister Liu Yimeng and the three of them also heard Liu Yiyu's words, the three of them stopped playing with Xue'er, and ran close to Liu Yiyu's side with a smoke, Liu Yimeng blinked and stared at Liu Yiyu with big eyes.
"Eldest sister, and me, I also want to learn." "What about the eldest sister and the eighth sister?".
"Cheng, the eldest sister will promise to teach you later, you can play again, there is bird meat to eat, maybe you can sell it for money." Liu Yiyu touched the heads of the three of them one by one.
During this time, since picking honeysuckle, the Liu family sold some silver, and was willing to eat, some time ago, they were eating three meals a day, the Liu family was able to eat a full stomach regardless of the age, originally everyone in the Liu family was full of vegetables, and the hair was yellow, and after nearly half a year of hard work, the complexion was a little ruddy, and the hair was not yellow.
"You take the grass and bury it in the snow."
"Cheng, big sister, we know." After Liu Yimeng responded, he dug a pit in the snow on the side, and then put the weeds in the snow pit.
After the seventh brother and the eighth sister saw the sixth sister doing these things, the two of them followed suit.
After two or three teas, Liu Yiyu and the three of them cleaned up the weeds on the open space.
Liu Yiyu used a long stick to put under the basket to prop up, a bowl under the basket, put some brown rice in the bowl, tied a long rope to the stick, and the person hid behind the tree far away, holding the rope.
The sisters and brothers of the Liu family hid behind the tree, and after Liu Yiyu made a shushing motion, several small members of the Liu family hurriedly covered their mouths, staring at the bottom of the back basket with blinking eyes.
It has been snowing for a long time, covering the ground, and the birds on the trees have not hunted for many days, and the birds and finches have seen that there is no one on the ground of the clearing, and after there is brown rice on it, they are scrambling to fly down the trees one by one, jumping down to the bottom of the back basket.
After a few small birds saw the birds and birds peck brown rice in the bowl under the back basket to eat, the three small ones hurriedly pulled Liu Yiyu's clothes behind Liu Yiyu, their faces were flushed, and they couldn't wait to replace Liu Yiyu by themselves, and immediately pulled down the back basket to cover these birds.
It's just that Liu Yiyu saw that under the back basket, there were only three or four birds eating brown rice, and some birds had not yet flown down, so Liu Yiyu was not in a hurry to pull the back basket down.
After waiting for a while, there were about a dozen birds pecking brown rice under the back basket to eat, Liu Yiyu saw that the time was ripe, and after a "pull" in his mouth, the back basket responded to the sound, and instantly covered the birds and finches pecking brown rice under the back basket.
As for the other birds around the basket, they spread their wings and flew high in surprise.
"Scratched, grasped, grasped". After a few small ones really caught a dozen birds, they happily ran to the back basket one by one.
The birds and finches that were covered in the back basket kept flying in the back basket in a panic, but the back basket was heavy enough, and the birds in the back basket could not lift the back basket.
"Eighth sister, you have small hands, the eldest sister opens a small crack in the back basket, you catch these birds and finches with your bare hands, fifth brother, you go to the bamboo house, bring the chicken cage, first lock these birds in the chicken cage, wait for five days, see if the fragrance is full of buildings to collect these birds."
"Cheng, big sister". After Liu Yihao responded, the people ran to the bamboo house.
Then, after Liu Yiyu opened a slit, the eighth sister knelt on the ground, a small hand, with the slit drilled in, and one hand touched the birds in the back basket to catch the birds in the back basket.
"Eldest sister, I grabbed it, I grabbed it." After the eighth sister caught a bird, she shouted excitedly.
After the handle stretched out of the back basket, the eighth sister did not grasp the bird in her hand, and was struggling to fly away by the bird.
When the eighth sister saw the bird she was holding flew away, her face turned red in a hurry, and she was about to cry when she saw it.
"What are you crying about, there are so many in the basket? If you don't arrest it, the sixth sister is welcome, I'll arrest it." After Liu Yimeng saw that Liu Yile was about to cry, Liu Yimeng's eyes rolled and said.
"Who said I won't arrest me, eldest sister, sixth sister is bullying me." Liu Yile pouted, and after hearing the words of his sixth sister, he hurriedly said.
Randomly, Liu Yile leaned down, grabbed the birds and birds in the back basket with one hand, and after the last experience, Liu Yile grabbed the birds from the back basket and came out, and held them tightly in his hands, not letting the birds in his hands fly away.
