Chapter 103 Let's Run
"Haha, big fish are smarter. They must have hidden when they saw us. Let's not sit here anymore. Let's catch some crabs and fry them at home."
"Ah? Can this thing covered with shells be eaten?" Zhou Mingqi questioned as he followed the action.
"Yeah, believe me, you will like it. These crabs have grown freely in the mountains for so many years, so they must be fat and meaty. They will be delicious if fried."
Zhou Mingqi didn't doubt it, after all, the sheep dung snail was also a creature covered in shells.
"Okay, but its two claws are really scary, I don't dare to touch them." Zhou Mingqi found the crab, but she retracted her hand and didn't dare to touch it directly.
"Haha, let me do it. There are some skills to catching crabs. Let me teach you. Find its back and pinch its shells on both sides. Its claws won't be able to clamp you. If its claws are facing you, use a stick to move it, or bury some sand in its eyes. This little guy won't dare to move because he can't see."
"Okay, I'll try."
Zhou Mingqi took a deep breath and carefully pinched the little crab's back. Then she saw that no matter how it struggled, its claws couldn't pinch her hand.
"San Ya, you are amazing. How come you know everything?"
"Oh, this is not difficult. We learned all of this from books. The methods we know now are all experiences handed down by the ancients. After accumulating to a certain extent, they were compiled into books and then passed on to future generations. This is why I asked everyone to learn to read. When you learn more words, we can buy some books to read. There are many things to learn. Those scholars often say, 'Books contain golden houses and beautiful women.' If we read more, we will naturally get closer to wealth. I meet many people in Baicaotang and often hear many rumors, interesting stories and strange stories. It is normal to know more."
"Sanya, this is great."
Zhou Mingqi didn't know what to say. She was deeply shocked. The sister in front of her was emitting light, as if she was no different from the sun in the sky. The difference was that the real sun rises in the morning and sets in the evening, and is as scorching as fire, while her sister is always there, and her soft light shines equally on everyone in the family.
"Okay, don't just stand there, let's catch more. If you try the crabs, I think you'll like them. If there aren't enough, there won't be enough to share at dinner time."
Zhou Mingqi nodded and continued looking for crabs by the river. These little crabs were frightened and would drill into the cracks in the rocks. As long as you aimed carefully, you could really catch one at a time.
The two men caught almost a whole basin's worth of fish before stopping. They pulled up a few handfuls of grass to hold them down to prevent them from crawling out.
"Second sister, don't forget to pick up the stones. If you choose carefully, there are still many beautiful colors. I will polish them for you and make a small hole for them to hang as a pendant."
Zhou Mingshu did not speak casually. These stones were washed down from the mountains. Who knows how many years have passed since they were baptized by time. Looking carefully, in addition to the ordinary gray stones, there are also some black, white, yellow, red, dark green, and blue-gray stones. If they are polished carefully, they can also be made into beautiful things.
"Okay, I didn't forget. I picked out several pieces just now." Zhou Mingqi bent over and rummaged through the pile of stones.
Seeing that Zhou Mingqi was still busy, Zhou Mingshu was strolling aside to relax and rest. She remembered that there was a big pit ahead, so she wanted to go forward and wait and see, intending to implement her plan.
"Second sister, you pick them up first. I'll go to the side and see if I can pick a few more pieces of Gastrodia elata."
"Okay, then don't go too far. Come back when I call you."
"Okay, I know."
Following her previous memory, she broke off a stick and started knocking around along the way. There were quite a lot of snakes here, and she didn't want to die before she could accomplish her mission. Being bitten by a snake would be terrible.
Sure enough, not long after walking, a big pit appeared in front of us.
The pit was overgrown with weeds, with a few unsuccessful saplings lying crookedly on the ground, and muddy water stagnating at the bottom.
The depth is also just right. If the wild boar falls in, it probably won’t be able to climb out.
Zhou Mingshu did it right away. He bought a wild boar of a suitable size from the system and slid down the slope.
After the wild boar escaped from the control of the system, it began to scream, kick its four hooves, and jump and scream in the deep pit, trying to escape from the pit.
This was Zhou Mingshu's first time observing a wild boar up close. Compared with the chubby domestic pigs, this wild boar was extremely ugly.
Its whole body was black, and its mane stood up stiffly. After a while, a few leaves were stuck on it. This wild boar had small ears, a long nose, and short and strong limbs. If you were hit by it, you would definitely suffer internal injuries.
"Second sister, second sister, come and see, there is a wild boar in this pit~" Zhou Mingshu trotted towards the river, shouting loudly as he ran.
In fact, Zhou Mingqi, who was far away, had heard some noise just now, but he was too far away to hear it clearly.
"What? Wild boar? Let's run quickly. Wild boars in the mountains eat people."
Zhou Mingqi threw away the pebbles in his hand and ran towards the big rock. He quickly put on his straw sandals and didn't even bother to take the backpack. He just ran away first.
When Zhou Mingshu saw Zhou Mingqi's reaction, some doubts flashed through his mind, but then he understood.
Wild boars are indeed very dangerous animals. If you encounter one, you must run away quickly.
But this wild boar is now tied up in a deep pit, so there is no need to be so scared.
"Second sister, second sister, wait a minute, don't be anxious. This wild boar has fallen into a deep pit and can't climb out now. I'll take you to see it."
Zhou Mingshu pulled Zhou Mingqi's arm and walked towards the deep pit.
"What? Fell into a pit?" Zhou Mingqi was stunned for a moment, then he closed his mouth in shock and swallowed his saliva. So this bad thing suddenly turned into a good thing? !
Zhou Mingshu next to them nodded, and then the two sisters trotted to the edge of the pit and took a look, and found that it was true.
The wild boar had not given up and was trying to find a way out of the pit. It was running around in the pit and poking its nose around.
In just a short while, the clean body was covered with mud, and only the two eyes were dirty.
"Oh my god, this pig looks quite big. If we catch it... we will have to make so many dumplings. Sanya, you stay here and watch. I... I will go home and ask my father to come over."
Zhou Mingqi's heart had already jumped countless times. First, he was almost scared to death by the wild boar, and then he was delighted to learn that the wild boar was trapped.
Is that a wild boar? That's clearly running meat!
Who said that God doesn't give away free lunch? This is what happened to her Zhou family...
Looking at Zhou Mingqi's incoherent expression, Zhou Mingshu laughed.
"Okay, then be careful and don't bump into anything. The wild boar has already fallen into the pit and won't run away for a while."
Zhou Mingqi swallowed, patted his sister's hand, and hurried to the river to pick up the backpack.
Why bother picking up colorful stones when there are wild boars? It is more important to catch the pigs!
