Crazy for me through another continent

Seeing that it is entering summer, the plants in the ground should be mature by the middle of summer.

The seasons here are long, and the plants can mature twice a year, which is not easy news for Weiss.

Now the weather is starting to heat up in the afternoon. Taking advantage of the time, Weiss and Keya went to sprinkle a layer of plant ash on the field and fertilized the field. They went to the river to look for wild onions. .There was still some time to wait for wild onions to be seeded, and the seeds would naturally not be eaten, so Weiss took Keya along the grass by the river to see if he could find some.

No one would eat this stuff, so Weiss found a lot of it, washed it in the river and put it in a basket.Weiss suddenly thought of catching fish to eat. There is a deep pit in the lower reaches of the river, and the river channel has widened. Most of the clansmen bathe there, and if the water quality is good, they can catch a few fish to eat in it.

Weiss, who immediately strikes when he thinks of it, has always been short-tempered.After chopping a dozen tender willow sticks, I hurried home. It was a good time to catch fish before evening.

After returning home, Weiss dug out two animal skin rags with holes in them, and took out bone needles, planning to make a stockpile for catching small fish.

First make a circle with two wicker sticks, tie it with a rope, and weave a flat circle shape with wicker vertically along the two wicker circles stacked up and down. (Compared to the appearance of the barrel, it is a bit flatter) Wrap the surface with animal skin, and leave a hole the size of Koya's fist in one side of the animal skin, and surround the hole with flattened wicker.After the animal skin is sewn, countless small holes are carefully drilled on the animal skin, and a rope is tied on the side to complete it.

Weiss used the remaining wicker to weave a wicker basket with a small mouth and a big belly. Looking at the strange-shaped thing, Weiss didn't know if it could catch big fish, and the gap was huge even if it wasn't covered with animal skin. .

I picked up two pieces of leftover meat from the wooden bowl, tied them with thin hemp rope, and put a layer of fish food prepared with fruit powder and broth on the mouth.Weiss led Keya to the lower reaches of the river.

Finding a place where no one was around, Weiss turned the mouth upwards and threw it flat and far away.

Grabbing one end of the rope, it fell on the water with a "pop~", and slowly sank to the bottom of the water along the hole left on the rope.Putting the rope and guessing that the water is only one meter deep, he tied the rope to the root of a big tree next to him. Weiss walked a few steps to the side and saw a few small eddies on the water surface, so he put the weird wicker basket under it. In the water, it is also tied to a tree.

Weiss was going to go home, touching the hole he poked out because of sewing the animal skin, Weiss smiled helplessly, this is still a bad animal skin, if the whole piece is intact, he wants to sew it without breaking the bone needle That's fine.Sure enough, sewing is not what gentlemen should do, and I really don't have this talent.

"Don't you need to watch, brother?" Keya, who had been quietly watching his brother's work, asked curiously.Never knowing that fish could be caught like this, Keya wanted to wait aside, eager to see the result.

"You can't see what's going on under the water either. It's better to go home and eat first after waiting there in vain. Let's stock up after dinner." Weiss held Keya's hand and said, "Don't be in a hurry to do anything. Be patient. Learn to allocate time reasonably and what to do." Weiss thought that he had reached the age to teach Keya, so he said a little bit of the truth that Keya could understand.

There is no rush for this matter, it has to be taught slowly. Keya has also learned more than 30 Chinese characters these days, can write numbers from one to ten, and even cleverly learned addition and subtraction within ten, which is only eight , In nine days, Keya learned so much.

Weiss was a little proud thinking that seven or eight-year-old children were not as smart as his brother.

Keya tried hard to remember every word his brother said, even if he didn't understand, his brother said it, as long as he remembered it, he would understand it naturally when he grew up.Thanks to Keya's cleverness, if it weren't for the force-feeding education method of Weiss, Keya would have been confused.

After returning home for dinner, the two returned to the riverside in Xiatun.

Slowly pull it up with a rope, oh~ it’s really heavy, the one made of wicker and animal skin is already heavy, and coupled with the resistance of the water, it took a lot of effort for Keya and Weiss to pull it together. Forced to drag the hoard ashore.

The animal skin is opaque, and only finger-length small fish can be seen squeezed together from the fish inlet.Pour all the small fish into the wooden barrel you brought, my good guy, there are almost one-third of the barrel.

"Brother, there are so many. There's still that basket, let's pull it up quickly." Keya jumped and ran to the other side of the rope.

The effect of this wicker basket was not so good, and I caught two fish weighing only one catty.It's a bit similar to crucian carp, with a black back, but looking at the rows of tiny teeth in the mouth of the fish, Weiss shivered again, but luckily he didn't grab it directly with his hands.Otherwise, being bitten is no joke.

After rebaiting the hoard and basket and throwing them back into the river, the two went home with the fish on their backs.

"We'll stock up again tomorrow morning." Weiss said before Keya could ask.Excited, Keya kept circling Weiss, mainly watching the fish.

Hehe, my brother said that he would grill it for Keya~ I haven't had the taste of grilled fish for a long time, and he almost forgot it.

By the small river behind the house, Weiss cleaned up all the fish, threw away the fish scales and gills, and used other intestines to feed the Gugu.After washing it a few times, Wes returned home with the wooden bucket. Keya also helped with the bone knife and the empty wooden basin. The small one carried a big basin, and Wes shook his head amusedly.

This little guy, if you don't let him take it, he will just look at you with those big watery eyes and say that you are wronged as much as you want, just like Weiss bullying him.

The fish was marinated with salt and wild onions, and the small fish and intestines were poured into the trough for the Gugu beast to eat.Keya watched the Gugu beast flapping its wings to grab food from outside the fence, watching with relish.

Weiss smiled, lit the fire, and prepared to grill fish for Keya.This fish is not big, it is just right for a midnight snack.

It was completely dark, and Weiss and Keya sat around the fire and ate grilled fish, completely unaffected.After eating, they turned off the fire, and the two went back to the house in the dark. Weiss tripped over the threshold and almost fell.

There is no moon tonight, and there are dark clouds. It seems that it will rain tonight. Weiss fell asleep thinking about it in a daze.

Sure enough, it rained heavily at night, and when I opened the door in the morning, I was greeted by a smell of mud.Weiss took a deep breath, turned his head and shouted, "Koya, I'm going to catch fish by the river, I'll go by myself!"

Keya turned over and sat up suddenly, "I'll get up right away, wait for me." He quickly got out of bed and rushed to the river to wash.

Weiss scratched his head and thought, children are full of energy.After washing up, the two of them went to the river next to Xiatun with the wooden bucket. One night, half a bucket of small fish was put into the bucket, and half of the wooden bucket was filled.

Three fish that were about the same size as yesterday were also put into the basket, and there was another big fish that weighed more than 2 catties.But Keya was so happy, yesterday's grilled fish completely hooked the glutton in Keya's stomach.

When they got home, Weiss stewed the big fish, and marinated three crucian carps for Keya to eat at night.The small finger-length fish were all fried crispy and golden brown. Before they could eat, Keya grabbed a few and threw them into his mouth to eat happily.

I boiled another vegetable soup, and the breakfast for the two of them was ready.After eating, he re-wrote a few words on the ground for Keya as usual, and let Keya practice in the wooden tub, and Weiss went to the field to inspect the crops he planted.
