After that, Li Xianyu asked Ling Xiaoyue to bring the river cucumber fish back and eat it while doing homework.

Ling Xiaoyue originally wanted to follow Li Xianyu to the underground cage.

But was rejected by Li Xianyu. In addition to going to the cage in the big river, he also had to go to the big lake in the mountains to go down to the cage.

A bit far.

If Ling Xiaoyue went along, it was estimated that she would not have much time to do her homework when she came back.

Ling Xiaoyue was helpless, so she could only pout: "Then you should pay attention to safety when you enter the mountain." ”

Li Xianyu said there was no problem.

Then Ling Xiaoyue went back with the river cucumber fish. Li Xianyu was also ready to go into the cage under the mountain.

Swap for a pair of long rain boots.

The reason why you wear long rain boots is because the section of the road near the Great Lake is rarely walked.

The road surface is basically covered with weeds. This is also the time when snakes are more active.

Therefore, wearing long rain boots is to prevent snake bites.

Even if you don't wear rain boots, it's unlikely that you will be bitten by a snake, but just in case.

Then he took out a back basket and put eight ground cages and dried river cucumber fish into the back basket.

At the end, I also took a firewood knife.

There is a possibility that the hatchet knife will be useful, hold it as a spare.

Then I set off with my back on my back.

Enter the mountain from the east side of the village.

Soon, Li Xianyu arrived at the entrance to the east of the village.

From here, there is almost a two-kilometre road to the Great Lake.

Not far.

Continue on your way.

At the beginning, this section of the road is often walked, and the road surface is wide, so it is easy to walk.

The road is lined with a variety of vegetation and trees, as well as a variety of wild fruits.

Wild sweet potatoes, which grow on the ground, are one of the best wild fruits.

The taste is very sweet and very tasty.

Li Xianyu walked all the way and saw a lot of wild sweet potato vines.

But now the wild sweet potatoes are not ripe.

"June 6, sweet potatoes are ripe." It will not mature until the sixth day of the sixth lunar month.

However, another equally delicious wild fruit, raspberry, has begun to ripen.

A large raspberry tree grows on the side of the road and is covered with raspberries.

In some places, it is also called raspberry, wild berry, etc., a red aggregate fruit that looks a bit like a miniature version of a strawberry.

Very tempting.

Li Xianyu stopped, picked some and ate them as he walked.

Very sweet, slightly slightly sour, delicious.

After walking for about a kilometer and a half, we came to a small intersection.

To get to the Great Lake is to branch off here.

There used to be more than a mile here. There are very few people walking on this mile, and the road is completely covered with weeds.

Li Xianyu picked up a relatively thick branch and used it to explore the way. Then pick yourself up and move on.

Hopefully don't run into snakes.

As a result, he was afraid of something, and he really ran into a snake.

Fortunately, it was not in the middle of the road, but on the branch of a small tree next to it.

A small green snake.

After looking closely, it was a non-venomous emerald green snake, not a poisonous bamboo leaf green.

These two snakes are very similar. But the difference between the head and tail can be seen.

The head of the emerald snake is round. The head of the bamboo leaf green is triangular, and the eyes are red, and then the tail is also distinctly red.

It's still very easy to distinguish.

The emerald snake has nothing to fear. Some people also keep the emerald snake as a pet.

Li Xianyu doesn't have this hobby. Although the emerald snake is not scary, it is still very cautious to keep it as a pet.

Don't bother the little guy, Li Xianyu continued to walk.

The rest went well, and I didn't encounter any other snakes all the way to the Great Lake.

Seeing the big lake, Li Xianyu suddenly felt a sense of relief in his heart.

Very nice lake with a large area, at least over 1000 acres. The water area is divided into many pieces by multiple mountains, and it is impossible to see the whole picture at a glance.

Find a place to go down to the cage.

River crabs like to inhabit places with clear water and abundant aquatic plants.

Li Xianyu quickly chose a place. It feels like there will be a lot of river crab activity here.

It's all about feeling.

It's all a matter of luck.

Start the cage.

There are a total of eight ground cages, and there are five here. The remaining three were taken back and lowered into the river.

After a period of operation, all five ground cages were lowered.

How much will you get tomorrow morning? Very much to look forward to.

I was about to go back. Suddenly, from a reed not far away, there were several faint bird chirps.

Li Xianyu is not surprised. There are many birds living in this area, mainly some birds that like to wade in the water.

But he was curious about what kind of bird it was.

So decided to go over and have a look.

Cautiously approach the past.

When they were very close, there was still no bird flying out of the reeds.

That's a little weird. Birds are very vigilant, and they are so close to each other. It stands to reason that the birds inside should be frightened and fly out!

When I got closer, I could see the situation in the reeds.

It turned out to be two yellow-colored chicks who were staying in a large nest.

It's two chicks, that's normal.

The nest is rudimentary, but large. It looks like a large bird.

It is estimated to be a wading bird.

But what kind of wading bird exactly? Li Xianyu didn't recognize it.

No way, the chicks of all kinds of wading birds look and feel the same.

Two cute little guys, but they seem to be weak.

I don't know if I'm hungry?

Parents don't know where they ran away? Don't come back to feed yet.

Li Xianyu wanted to make two small fish for the two little guys to eat, but he didn't have the tools, so it was not easy to do it.

That's it.

The parents of the two little ones should be back soon to feed.

Think of it this way. Li Xianyu quietly retreated, no longer disturbing the two little guys.

Then leave.

Went back.

All the way back to the village, then directly to the edge of the river. After choosing the position, all the remaining three ground cages are lowered.

"Little fish, what are you going to catch when you go to the ground cage?" A villager passing by asked curiously.

Li Xianyu smiled: "River crab." I'm going to catch some river crabs and eat them. ”

The villagers nodded and said, "There are indeed a lot of crabs in this river. ”

Li Xianyu said again: "Then I hope to catch a little more." ”

After saying goodbye to the villagers, Li Xianyu returned home.

It's already getting dark.

Ling Xiaoyue ran over and was very happy to see Li Xianyu coming back, and said, "Brother, you're back!" ”

Li Xianyu nodded, "Have you finished your homework?" ”

Ling Xiaoyue said: "It's finished!" ”

Li Xianyu said: "It's good to finish writing." ”

……

The next day.

Morning.

After breakfast, Li Xianyu went into the mountain again and went to the big lake to collect the land cage.

I wonder how many there will be?

Very much to look forward to!

Same outfit as yesterday. I just brought an extra bucket for river crabs.

When he came to the location of the emerald green snake yesterday again, Li Xianyu deliberately stopped and took a closer look.

Yesterday's emerald snake is gone.

Of course, it's normal to be gone.

Again on the edge of the great lake, where I went down to the cage yesterday.

Li Xianyu did not immediately start to collect the ground cage, but walked to the reed yesterday first.

He was going to take a look at the two little ones first.

The two little ones looked the same as yesterday, but seemed to be a little more energetic.

Looks like their parents should have come back to feed them.

This made Li Xianyu feel a little at ease.

It's just that the mental state of the two little ones is still not good.

I guess I didn't eat enough.

Wait a moment to collect the cage and see if there are some small fish and shrimp?

If you have, take some and feed them to the two little ones.

Li Xianyu thought so in his heart.
