Chapter 113: The King of Worship (2nd Watch)
Zhao Han felt a little familiar when he saw the plant that the little golden cat was desperately digging up, with palm-shaped compound leaves growing on it, and the leaflets were oval. He said with a little hesitation: "Xiaocao, your cat has become a sperm, right? Actually recognize ginseng? β
"Ginseng? Are you saying that the small rice balls are digging up a ginseng tree? From the excitement of the little mending heavenly stone, Yu Xiaocao had a hunch that this ginseng plant must be extraordinary, and it may take more than a hundred years! 100-year-old ginseng ...... It's developed!!
Yu Xiaocao took a few steps up, took a small shovel from the back basket, and carefully helped the little golden cat dig up ginseng. Not long after, a ginseng plant about thirty or forty centimeters tall and resembling a human shape was dug up.
Zhao Han's voice was full of excitement: "This wild ginseng is at least more than a hundred years old!" Legend has it that ginseng has been cultivated to the human form for a hundred years, and the five senses have been born in five hundred years, and if it exceeds a thousand years, it can give birth to spiritual wisdom! This ginseng has a human form, and you can faintly see the facial features - Xiaocao, the ginseng you dug up can be called the king of ginseng! β
The little golden cat shook off the soil on its paws, jumped into the hands of the grass, and the little paws hugged the ginseng, with an intoxicated face: [What a strong aura! Let me suck enough at once!! γ
"Be careful!" Zhao Han quickly grabbed the kitten in his hand, and didn't let go no matter how hard it struggled, "This is a priceless treasure, don't let your cat spoil it!" β
Yu Xiaocao looked at the little mending stone that was grabbed by Zhao Han in his hand and threatened him with sharp teeth, gave it a reassuring look, and communicated with it in his heart: "Don't worry, ginseng won't run away, let's talk about it when I get home!" β
[This damn human being, if it weren't for the fact that he helped you, this divine stone would have torn him to pieces a long time ago! ] The appearance of the little mending stone with its teeth and claws is nothing more than a bluff in the eyes of others.
Zhao Han thought the little guy was very cute, and rubbed its fluffy head with his hand, and was accidentally scratched by the fried kitten with two red marks.
"Little Tangyuan, don't arrest anyone!" Xiaocao hurriedly rescued the little golden cat from Zhao Han's hands.
After Xiao Tianshi regained his freedom, he neatly turned over and jumped onto Xiaocao's shoulder, the hairs on his body stood up, and he yelled angrily at Zhao Han a few times. Zhao Han sounded like a little milk cat's milky and milky voice.
Yu Xiaocao wrapped the ginseng in grass blades a few times, and quietly sprinkled a few drops of spirit stone water to help it keep it fresh. This is a baby, it's always valuable! You have to keep it safe!
Looking at the mountain and running a dead horse, looking at the mountain is not high, but it is not easy to climb. Fortunately, Yu Xiaocao has been baptized by spirit stone water for more than half a year, and his body is not comparable to the past, and Zhao Han takes care of it from time to time, and the two of them quickly climbed over this hill.
"Wow! This is what you call a reed swing? Yu Xiaocao was intoxicated by the beautiful scene in front of her.
A tranquil and turquoise lake comes into view in the midst of the mountains, surrounded by reeds on the shore, and a red sun reflected in the clear water through the reeds.
The water vapor rises and envelops the entire pond, and not far away there is an unnamed tree, with its branches stretched out and its trunk erect, surrounded by this mist, as if it were a fairyland in the sky.
The reeds left over in the winter were like the feathers of a flock of cranes floating in the air. Looking closely at the reeds, a touch of green tender reeds broke through the soil, revealing vigorous vitality. There were many unknown birds laughing and playing on the branches, and from time to time they tilted their heads to look at the two uninvited guests......
Zhao Han took a step forward and stood side by side with Yu Xiaocao, looking at this peaceful paradise in the distance: "Yes! This reedy swing is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the towering cliffs block the cold wind in the north, even in the cold winter wax moon, it is as warm as spring. Many migratory birds that return early will stop here in the spring to rest. β
"Look! There's a wild duck over there!! Let's find out if there are any wild duck eggs nearby!! Yu Xiaocao became excited and plunged into the reeds.
Zhao Han looked in the direction that Xiaocao was pointing, and the corners of his mouth twitched a few times. He caught up with Xiaocao in three or two steps, protected her left and right, and said with a smile: "Xiaocao, do you know the wild goose?" β
"Wild geese? Of course I did! However, the flock of geese flying in the sky is too high and far away to see what the geese look like! Brother Han, you don't know and don't recognize the wild goose, right? So how do we catch geese!! Yu Xiaocao's eyes wandered through the grass, and his mouth was not idle.
Zhao Han laughed out loud, and in Xiaocao's puzzled gaze, he pointed to the animal she had just called "wild duck", revealing his white teeth: "That's the wild goose!" The appearance of the mallard duck is similar to that of the domestic duck, and the male duck has green feathers on his head, so it is also called mallard. Wild geese, on the other hand, have purple-brown feathers, white bellies, flat beaks, short legs, webbed toes, and generally live in groups near water. Lined up when flying......"
Yu Xiaocao looked at the wild goose carefully through the reeds, and said with a pout: "What! I look like a duck!! Okay, if you say it's a wild goose, it's a wild goose! If you get caught wrong, the prefect will beat you out, don't blame me for ......"
Listening to the little girl's broken thoughts, Zhao Han shook his head amusedly, took a special longbow from his back, took a feather arrow, and aimed at the nearest wild goose......
"Wait, wait!" Yu Xiaocao hurriedly pressed down his bow and arrows, and said with a frown, "The prefect of the people's mansion has a wild goose ceremony, and he must live the wild goose, right?" If you accidentally shoot to death, won't you work in vain? β
"The wild geese are highly alert, and ordinary people can't get close to them easily. They live in the water again, how can they catch them without bows and arrows? My archery is good, as long as I shoot the wings of the wild goose, it will run away! Zhao Han confidently raised his bow and arrow again.
Yu Xiaocao still disagreed: "The injured wild goose doesn't look good when you take it out!" I'll figure it out later! β
Wild geese live in groups and are highly alert, making them difficult to hunt. Therefore, many families use geese instead of goose ceremonies.
The fiancΓ©e of the prefect's son is the youngest daughter of Jing Zhaoyin in Beijing, and his father is a high-ranking Beijing official. Therefore, there is still more than half a year before the day of the goose gift, and I am looking for live geese everywhere.
But at this time it is the early spring, most of the geese have not returned to the north, if it is not for the unique terrain of this reed, let alone the live geese, it is difficult to find a goose feather!
Yu Xiaocao pondered for a moment, then suddenly slapped his hand and said, "I have an idea, I don't know if it can be done!" β
"What's the idea, tell me about it?" Zhao Han pondered what chance he had of diving underwater to get close to the flock of geese, and asked casually.
Yu Xiaocao said: "My sewing needle is bent into a large fishing hook, which is wrapped in the bait that geese love to eat. When the geese swallowed the bait, we pulled the line on the hook. As long as the hook hooks the wild goose's neck, it can't escape if it wants to! β
Zhao Han thought about it, there is no other good way, let's give it a try!
Xiaocao burned the sewing needles red and hammered them into the shape of hooks with an iron tool. Zhao Han caught the fish and shrimp that the geese love to eat and handed them to Xiaocao as bait.
After Yu Xiaocao made a simple fish hook, he quietly sprinkled some spirit stone water on the bait, and asked Zhao Han to throw the bait in the direction of the geese.
The bait landed only three or four meters away from the flock of geese, and the geese in charge of the vigilance vigilantly "babbled" a few times, and the flock of geese immediately scattered and fled, and some even flew up in the air.
Zhao Han slapped his palm with some annoyance, thinking that he had failed to bait for the first time. He was about to retract the hook, but was stopped by Xiaocao: "Wait a minute! Wild goose fishing is the same as fishing, there is only one secret, and that is 'wait'! Let's wait and see!! β
Seeing Xiaocao's confident appearance, Zhao Han was patient, squatting in the reeds, paying close attention to the movements of the geese.
The scattered flocks of geese, unaware of the danger, soon returned to calm. The thick aura on the bait soon attracted a few geese not far away. A strong and powerful male goose, flapping his wings and fluttering, snatched the bait to his mouth, and looked at the other competitors triumphantly.
Some geese saw that the bait had been caught, so they gave up the fight; Not to be outdone, some geese pounced on the winner, stretching out their long necks to snatch food from their mouths.
The victor skillfully dodged the swooping geese, flippers with water, took the bait in his mouth to his partner and gently lowered it, and gently rubbed the body of the mother goose with his neck. Don't forget to threaten the other geese approaching with your eyes.
The mother goose also thanked her mate, gracefully lowered her head, and swallowed the bait, which exuded an alluring taste, into her throat......
"I can't bear to catch them!" I heard that geese don't live alone, so the geese are all even numbered, and if a wild goose dies, its partner will also commit suicide and die of depression. Seeing the scene in front of him, Xiaocao felt compassion.
Zhao Han was also quite moved, and he said softly: "Don't worry, after the goose ceremony, these geese will be released." β
After speaking, he silently tightened the fishing line in his hand. The mother goose that swallowed the bait was gradually drawn by the fishing line, and her companion followed her indefatigably, like a faithful knight beside the princess.
"I'll pull the line, and you take the net I brought. When the goose comes near, you cast your net. Yu Xiaocao said as she quietly lowered another bait stained with spirit stone water into the nearby water.
The male goose seemed to sense the spiritual power emitted by the bait, and swam quickly towards this side, and soon entered Zhao Han's hunting range. With Zhao Han's superb hunting skills, the male geese are naturally in danger. And the mother goose struggled a few times, and became a turtle in the urn.
Yu Xiaocao risked being pecked, and carefully took out the fish hook from the mouth of the mother goose, and was afraid that it would be hooked and damaged its throat, so she secretly fed a few mouthfuls of spirit stone water.
Zhao Han felt very strange that the mother goose, who was originally struggling desperately, was more obedient than a duck in Xiaocao's hands, and was carried by her motionless. Look at the male goose in his hand, it is fierce and abnormal, and his hand has been pecked by it several times, it really hurts!
