172 Snow Season Fishing (Part II)
Seeing something in the ice cave, everyone held their breath and waited for the long wind to pull up the nets to see what surprises were inside.
When he was about to pull out of the water, Changfeng picked up the speed of his hand, and soon he pulled the net to the ice.
Seeing a few big fish jumping around in the net, the creek was about to jump up happily, but I didn't expect this method to really catch the fish.
Yao and Ling also opened their eyes wide in disbelief, looking at the big fish jumping around in the net.
Only Changfeng stepped forward calmly, took the fish out of the net and put it into the back basket he brought.
In fact, this net did not catch many fish, only three large fish that were arm length and two small fish that were larger than the palm of a hand.
Everyone was surprised that they didn't expect to catch fish in such a cold weather.
Since this method can catch the fish, Xiaoxi took out a piece of animal meat as bait and threw it into the cage, Changfeng put the cage into the ice hole again and retreated to the stream, and the two of them stood together and waited quietly.
Here Yao and Ling looked at the fish they had just caught, and they suddenly thought that they had heard from Xiaoya and Xiaohua that it was good for both females and cubs to drink fish soup after giving birth to their cubs.
It just so happened that their Xiaoya had just given birth to cubs not long ago, and drinking fish soup at this time was just right for her to replenish her body.
The two brothers, Yao and Ling, glanced at each other, both understanding the meaning of each other's eyes, and Ling turned around and ran towards the valley where they lived.
When Changfeng and Xiaoxi saw Ling's movements, they knew what he was going to do.
So Xiaoxi called Ling, who had already run ashore, and told him to go back and shout to the families who lived nearby, if anyone would come to the river to dig a hole to fish, let them come with him.
She took these people to stay here for the snow season, and she hoped that every orc here would be fed and clothed in this snow season.
Ling agreed and ran away, Changfeng handed the animal skin rope in his hand to Xiaoxi, walked over to help Yao, who was already chiseling ice, and scooped aside the ice slag that had been chiseled.
Yao was not surprised to see Changfeng come over to help, they all knew that although Changfeng usually doesn't like to talk and doesn't get close to people casually, he has nothing to say in terms of being a person and doing things.
It will not be like some orcs, who think they are strong, and will look down on or bully orcs who are weaker than themselves at will, which is why they are willing to follow.
He and Xiaoxi are smart and powerful, and if they live together, life will inevitably be more convenient and safer.
In addition, the females in the house all get along well with Xiaoxi, and if they want to be neighbors with her, of course they males have to follow.
The two of them took turns digging the ice cave, and a group of orcs came in the distance, because everyone had nothing to do now, so basically the males of every family came.
Xiaoxi was afraid that they would not understand, and that it would be dangerous for them to gather together to dig ice caves, so he walked over and told them to separate some chisels, and it was not safe for the ice caves in the province to be too close to each other.
When Qing Cang came back from playing with the two little cubs, he was surprised to see that they had really caught fish in such a cold weather in the creek.
But in an instant, I was relieved, and with the method that Xiaoxi, a clever female, came up with, it was not so surprising to be able to catch fish.
The creek also caught only four or five fish in their second net, and in this way, it also gave hope to the orcs who came to fish, and they were more motivated to dig the ice cave.
Anyway, there is nothing to do in the snow season, as long as you can catch fish, who will be too little.
Xiao Fengyuan saw the big fish jumping in the net that was pulled up, and he was happy to go up to catch it, but was stopped by the creek in time, "Don't catch it, the fish, the body is full of water, be careful of frostbitten hands." ”
Changfeng, who was standing next to the stream, glanced at her with light blue eyes and resentment, meaning that you are afraid that Xiao Fengyuan will frostbite his hands when he catches fish, won't I catch it?
Xiaoxi glanced at Changfeng's hands, as if they were indeed a little red, so he was about to take off the gloves he was wearing, but Changfeng hurriedly stopped him, "You can wear them yourself, I don't freeze my hands at all, and besides, your gloves are so small, I can't wear them." ”
As he spoke, he handed his hands to Xiaoxi, and let her see in front of Xiaoxi, but Xiaoxi was willing to put his gloves on him, and Changfeng's heart still felt sweet.
Xiao Fengyuan, who was standing on the side, regretted that when he came out, he forgot to put on the gloves that Sister Xiaoxi made for him, and he couldn't catch fish if he wanted to.
Changfeng picked up the fish in the back basket and saw that Yao and the three brothers were there, and the ice cave had been dug and was about to cast a net into the ice cave.
When he saw that there was no meat in the nets for fishing, he told them.
Yao patted his stupid brother on the head, "Let you go back and pass a word, get something, and there can be such a big mistake, why don't you go and tell those who are called by you about the lack of bait." ”
Ling touched his head that was hurt by his second brother, and he didn't dare to talk back when he knew it was his fault, so he ran to pass the word.
Several other orcs knew that they had brought less, and the beast meat used as bait all asked Ling to bring more after they returned, and then return it to their house after they returned.
Xiaoxi saw that he still had two pieces of beast meat left here, so he handed them to them, and they used them first for the peak closest to them.
The remaining piece was borrowed by the mulberry leaf family, who were the first to dig the ice cave.
Ling was worthy of a flying bird orc, and as soon as they had dug an ice cave in their house, he came back with a small bag of cut animal meat.
Everyone put the pieces of animal meat into the fishing nets and began, the first fishing of the day.
On the usually silent river, now they are standing together in twos and threes and whispering.
Shang alone dug an ice cave not far from Xiaoxi's house, and he borrowed the fishing net from Uncle En's house.
For when he came, the creek was busy with the last of their harvest, and no one went to fish anymore, and he did not know that there was such a thing as a net.
Just now he heard Ling's shout, walked out of the valley and asked Ling, only to know that they were fishing on the river today, so he asked everywhere who had extra fishing nets, and if they could lend him some of them.
When Xiaoxi saw Shang, he just remembered to treat his leg, so he walked over and said, "Shang, it's just right that you are here, and I was going to treat your injured leg in the next few days."
But I think you came late this year, and I am afraid that there will not be a lot of food reserves at home, so you can catch more fish in the past few days.
This can also be eaten boiled or grilled, and you can also make fish balls, but I don't know how to do it yet, so I'll teach you when I try to make it.
As for the treatment of leg injuries, when you are free, just tell me, and I will go over to treat you when the time comes. ”
Shang was very grateful to Xiaoxi for thinking so much about their family, and he nodded gratefully, "Okay, I'll listen to the Great Witch Doctor." ”
Xiaoxi is not a talkative person either, and after saying what needs to be said, he returns to Changfeng's side.
She looked at the sky, and it was already afternoon since they came out at noon.
Qing Cang had long been afraid that Xiao Candy would have taken her back, as long as Xiao Fengyuan was young and fun-loving, she was still running back and forth in the crowd.
When everyone had closed their nets, Brook found that although they had been the first to arrive, there were a few more fish than they had caught.
It seems that fishing does require some luck, because some people catch more fish per net, so it will be late, but more fish will be caught.
Everyone put away their things, talked and laughed happily in groups and walked home, everyone's face was full of satisfaction and happiness for their current life.
