Chapter 27 Helpless Hunter

It didn't take long for many to be caught.

When Lian Fangzhou looked up at the shore, he called Lian Ze with a smile: "Oh, enough is enough! We won't be able to take it any more! Let's come again tomorrow! Let's catch it again!"

Even Ze thought about it, there are still many mushrooms in the forest! Moreover, they haven't gone to other places yet, and when they do, there must be more mushrooms... So, they will definitely come again.

At this time, there is no need to talk about Lian Fangzhou, even Lian Ze is reluctant to come.

People are often afraid of the unknown, but having seen it with their own eyes, they will know that it is nothing more than that. Lian Ze's mood at this time is exactly the same.

"Sister, there are wild plantains over there. I'll go pick some leaves and wrap these shrimps!" Lian Ze pointed to the top of the stream.

Lian Fangzhou followed what he was pointing at, and sure enough, he saw a cluster of four or five wild plantains growing not far ahead, not very tall, just over two meters. Then he smiled and said: "Then you go, I will pack up these shrimps!"

Lian Ze picked the banana leaves for a while, and the two wrapped the caught green shrimp. Lian Fangzhou weighed it, and it looked like two or three pounds. He smiled and said, "Unfortunately, it would be nice if it was convenient to bring a bucket!"

So far, obviously impossible.

But now, she doesn't have the qualifications to pick on live shrimp or dead shrimp. Besides, the wild prawns in this mountain must taste good even if they are brought back so far, right?

"Barrel? How can that be done! It's so bulky!" Lian Ze said with wide eyes, startled by his sister's proposal!

Lian Fangzhou was stunned, and then he remembered that in this era, there are no lightweight plastic buckets, and there are wooden buckets at home, not bulky!

Imagining walking on this road with a wooden barrel, she couldn't help laughing, and said with a smile, "It's my sister who is confused! Look at what she said!"

Lian Ze also laughed, relieved at the same time, scratched his head and smiled: "Sister scared me!"

At this time, the sun had just passed noon, and it was still a long time before Sun Changxing said that he would return. Before leaving, he said that there was a wild jujube forest not far to the east, bearing many fruits. A piece of yam vine, they can pick some dates, dig some yam and roast them on a fire to satisfy their hunger.

The two rested for a while, then followed the place pointed out by Sun Changxing.

Sure enough, the wild jujube forest had twenty or thirty trees of various sizes, some of which were still small and did not bear fruit. The fruit that bore fruit was all covered with branches, and the dark red jujubes were big and full, and the trees were full.

As soon as I arrived at the forest edge, I smelled a faint fresh jujube fragrance blowing towards my face.

"So many jujubes!" Lian Ze was overjoyed, and hurriedly stepped forward to pick the big, red ones, picked a few, then ran over and handed them to Lian Fangzhou, raised a smile and said, "Sister!"

Lian Fangzhou took it with a smile, rubbed it casually with his hand and took a bite, the mouth was crisp, sweet and juicy, he nodded at him and smiled: "It tastes really good!"

"Let's pick some and take them home! Qing'er and Che'er must like it too!" Lian Ze said with a smile. No matter what good things, he will never forget those two little ones.

Naturally, Lian Fangzhou had no objections, he just smiled: "Let's bring less today, we will come tomorrow!"

Lian Ze was taken aback: "Are you coming tomorrow?"

"Of course!" Lian Fangzhou nodded without hesitation and said with a smile: "Anyway, we already know the way, so we can come by ourselves tomorrow, and we don't need to be so early. After picking the mushrooms, we can go back! Take advantage of the good weather these days. , Let's pick a lot of mushrooms and bring them back to dry, so that we can not only keep some for cooking, but also sell some money to subsidize the family!"

The 10 taels of silver that I got from quitting my relatives can't help but spend it. I have already used up some of the roof repairs, and there are still more things to buy!

"Sister said yes!" Lian Ze nodded.

The jujube tree was full of fruit, and it was heavy on the branches. The sister and brother plucked and ate while talking, and soon they didn't feel hungry.

However, this jujube can only manage for a while, but it won't last for too long. The journey back is not far, and I have to pick up two bags of mushrooms. That's physical work.

So Lian Fangzhou and Lian Ze still found yam and dug a few roots.

This is a real wild yam, which is flat and twisted in some places - it must have turned a corner when it encountered a hard rock when it was growing.

Each has two fingers, three fingers wide from left to right, the long one has half an arm, and the short one is only one palm. It is not neat or regular.

However, it tastes very good after roasting.

Broken from it, the warm aroma blows on the face, the inside is as white as snow, and it is powdery and glutinous in the mouth, which makes people appetite.

Not to mention Lian Fangzhou - this is an authentic natural wild green food, and Lian Ze also raved about it.

Then the two of them dug up three or four more and washed them with water, wrapped them in leaves, and brought them back to cook.

After eating and drinking, and seeing that it was almost time, the two of them did not go anywhere. They had to rest and maintain their strength, so they picked up a place with the sun to sit down and rest.

The autumn afternoon sun shines warmly on the body, and the autumn wind blows from time to time, blowing the leaves and making a rustling sound.

The two rubbed their eyes and smiled, and greeted Sun Changxing a few words. Seeing that Sun Changxing had a string of pheasants with colorful feathers hanging on his shoulders, as well as two fat hares, the two couldn't help it. They were all very envious and said with a smile, "Uncle Sun has gained a lot today!"

Who knew that Sun Changxing smiled bitterly and sighed: "It's all small things, not worth much!"

"Isn't it worth it! How could it be!" Lian Ze said in surprise.

Sun Changxing just laughed again and said, "We're not close to the county town, otherwise there are so many restaurants in the county town, so of course you won't have to worry about sales! So it can only be sold to landlord Zhou, Zhu Yuanwai, Master Zhao, etc. Several big families, they all know that no one will buy it except them, and I can't pay for it if I keep it, so the price is not high! Unless you hunt mountain otter, gray mink, squirrel, muntjac, etc., the fur can be more It's worth a few dollars, or a big goat or wild boar can be exchanged for a few more dollars! Of course, such luck is rare."

When he said these words, Sun Changxing's expression was slightly annoyed, and Lian Fangzhou knew that he was telling the truth, not to perfunctory their sister and brother, nor to pretend to complain secretly.

Originally, Lian Fangzhou was still a little confused: such a big forest is like an endless treasure house, why is Sun Changxing still so poor after wandering around here hunting for so many years?

Today she finally understood.

He doesn't know the treasures of the mountains, he only knows how to hunt, and this treasure is half gone.

And hunting is not enough just with skills, but also needs luck and time.

If you don't encounter valuable prey, you won't get much, but most of the large beasts live in the deep forest.

And this forest is so big and full of countless dangers - especially at night, so he can only come in the morning and go back in the afternoon. In such a short period of time, what are the chances of hunting for something valuable? Many hunters go into the mountains to hunt in the mountains for several days, or even more than ten days.

No wonder it was still dark, so he had to rush out in a hurry. It's just that the time that can be bought in this way is actually a little bit more, and the utility is almost equal to zero.

Thinking like this, even Fangzhou wanted to understand.

She couldn't help but glance at Sun Changxing with a little sympathy.

Sun Changxing's eyes happened to glance over unintentionally, and it happened to meet Lian Fangzhou's eyes. He couldn't help but stunned, and immediately turned his eyes away, feeling a little unhappy in his heart: I asked a little girl to sympathize with him, he didn't seem to be mixed up. So bad, right?
