The loaches lie in the clear water, unaware of the shadows that loom over them.

didn't try to stun with stones or the like, Chen Yu had a better choice - I saw him put down the fishing rod and firewood knife and slowly raised the fish basket in his hand.

He took half a step forward and bent down to cover the basket over the opponent's head.

Crash!

The muddy water splashed, and the crackling pit in the basket could be heard, but Chen Yu scooped it upside down, and the slender loach slipped into it involuntarily.

Hey.

Reach out and grab it, pinch the two fingers on the left and right, and bend the knuckles of the middle finger firmly against the loach's torso, so that it can't move.

It's a little small.

Looking back and forth, the loach in his hand looked about two inches over, not fat.

However, if you can catch some of them, it is enough to cook a pot of delicious soup.

With a snap, the loach was thrown back into the basket, and Chen Yuti picked up the rope and hung it on his shoulder. The basket is finely braided, and the holes are smaller than the fingers, so you can't get out at all.

Looking back at the trickle at his feet, he felt that there might be some windfall today.

It just so happened that a batch of dried mushrooms was dried in the temple, and a few slices were sprinkled in the soup at that time, and some celery was put to enhance the fragrance.

I feel like my saliva is going to flow just thinking about it, and if I can add that black fish later, it will definitely make people swallow their tongues.

Chen Yu lowered his head and walked out of the stream, carefully circling the water's edge to avoid making a splash and scaring away other loaches that might exist.

Speaking of which, he also caught it in his hometown in the previous life, when there were many ditches in the countryside, especially around the beginning of spring and summer, there were more farmers who released water and drained the water, and the mud ditches that were looped between the acres of fields became the favorite place for children in the countryside to play.

Loach, mountain crab, yellow eel, small fish, rice shrimp......

It can be said that he has done all of the above, and I still remember that there were many times when he took a group of children from the same village, carrying a thin net of toys in his hand, looking for them in the ditch in the field.

I caught it but didn't eat it, so I played with it in my hand in the nature of a child, and soon got tired of playing and let it go, and when I got together soon, I would unconsciously go to find it again.

He didn't waste too much time, and after looking around and finding that there were no other loaches, Chen Yu put the fish basket in the water so as not to die of thirst.

He turned around and looked for a wider area, but this time it was not looking for loach crabs, but the main purpose of this time, reed ginseng.

He was careful about wading through the wet dirt and stopping at some of the more low, especially areas with decaying vegetation.

Maybe it was bad luck last time, but this time it didn't take much effort to find one.

It was rooted at the root of a thick tree, and the leaves covered most of it, revealing only the small green tips.

He squatted down to pick up the fallen leaves around him, took out a small shovel in a cloth bag, and gently dug up the reed ginseng. Because it was really lacking, I didn't plan to transplant it for the time being, so I shook off the soil and put it in a bamboo basket behind my back, with two layers of soft and fine grass leaves underneath.

"The first one!"

Now that he has been into the mountains and forests a few times and picked a lot of herbs, he can barely be regarded as a medicine picker, although his experience is not sophisticated, but he always has something to gain every time, and he will not return empty-handed.

Without stopping, Chen Yu continued to search, he groped around the stream, did not burrow into the deeper forest, those places are not as humid as this one, there may be reed ginseng growing, but it will be relatively rare and difficult to find.

In this way, while looking down for reed ginseng along the stream among the trees and grasses, I moved the rocks in the water and caught the occasionally exposed loach mountain crab.

Boom, under a stone, the black and red crab waved a pair of large pincers, and danced its teeth and claws towards the tall figure that suddenly appeared.

Full of momentum, but Chen Yu was obviously not intimidated.

Grab it and stuff it into the fish basket.

Since there was no roof, in order to prevent the crabs from escaping, he picked some grass blades and branches on the spot, pierced the circle, and made a sloppy lid to seal it on.

I hope that the loaches and crabs can get along well, after all, they are difficult brothers, and the companions who want to squeeze into the same pot in the future are also good to recognize their faces in advance and get acquainted with them.

I have to say that the crabs in the mountains are fat, not the kind of bloated, but really feel meaty.

Wading through the water, there are a few mountain crabs that are about to catch up with the size of the palm, I don't know how long they have lived.

In the end, the location here is too good, the forest is deep and secluded, and few people come, even if there are not many people who can come here.

Only then did he live carefree until now, and then fell into the hands of Chen Yu.

As for the reed cucumber, some were also picked, and the bamboo basket behind them was stacked high, to say the least, there were seven or eight of them.

There are both big and small, too young seedlings he has also encountered a lot, but they have all let go, only remember the location, more and more feel that this place is a feng shui treasure, maybe in the future can come a few times.

Seven or eight reed ginseng, saving a little to eat is probably enough for a month.

"Almost, look for a while, and then go to the deep pool."

After changing for more than half an hour, I picked and caught all the reed ginseng and crab loach that could be found around.

Chen Yu picked up the full fish basket and the back basket and walked towards the deep pool.

……

The pond is nameless, located on a mountain col, and he is undoubtedly far away from the path behind the mountain field on the road, so it takes more time.

Along the way, I was lucky enough to meet a newly emerging Codonopsis. The leaves are egg-like, tiny, and have blunt serrated edges.

After two glances, he didn't dig it, it was too young, and it wasn't yet ripe.

However, after just two steps, Chen Yu turned around and returned.

Although it is not possible to use medicine, it is just right to use it for testing.

Most of the herbs he had picked before were ripe, and he wondered if this immature would make it easier to absorb the spiritual energy.

The roots wrapped in the soil were all torn out, and the leaves and rhizomes were packed in the basket, and then they strode away.

When the time came to noon, Chen Yu took out the dry food prepared in his arms early and a packet of Lanting fruit, and after simply filling his stomach, he continued to set off.

Time passed, and the sound of bits and pieces of running water reached his ears, and Chen Yu found that the top of the mountain forest was no longer gloomy and gloomy before, and it was flashing with bright light.

Pierce through the branches of the forest leaves and shine in front of you.

In the light curtain, fine dust floats.

After another hundred or so steps, I finally stepped over the grass, and was greeted by a cool breeze, with damp water vapor and the fragrance of flowers and plants, hitting my nose.

Not far away, the waterhole is deep.

Untied the cloth bag, Chen Yu condescendingly chose a good position, grabbed the long grass under his body and walked down from the rocks.

Put on the fishing line, put down the back basket, tie the rope of the basket with a stick, and stick it on the shore.

When the fish basket entered the water, the loaches and crabs that had been in the rain for a long time were suddenly much more active, and they were no longer as lifeless as when they were in a hurry.

Taking off his cloth boots and pulling up his trouser legs, he fell barefoot into the cool water, compared to the stream deep in the mountains and forests, the water in front of him under the bright sun undoubtedly gave people an inexplicable sense of security.

Stepping in the water, Chen Yu walked on the sandbar in the pond last time, pierced the earthworm, and immediately took out a yellow cloth bag with water traces.

Having learned the lessons of the previous two times, he felt that it should be because he didn't put the nest material first, otherwise with the size of this deep pool, there wouldn't be only the black fish swaying back and forth all the time.

"Don't be eaten up by this guy."

Judging from the experience of the previous two times, the black fish in the pool is obviously also a foodie, and this possibility cannot be ruled out.

But it eats small fish, and I eat it.

The poor way is called the true conformity of the heavenly way.

Some didn't think about it for a while, Chen Yu quickly sprinkled the nest material in his hand, and then the fishing rod was thrown, and the earthworm crossed a moving curve in the air, and couldn't wait to jump into the pool with his body as bait.
