Chapter 6 Catching Birds
"Wait a minute. Fifth brother, go! Go over there and bring me the sack I just brought over. You have to put it in a sack, otherwise if you open the basket, the birds will fly away!"

Xiang Sanlang instructed his fourth brother to go aside and get a sack.

"it is good!"

Xiang Wulang had no objection at all to his third brother instructing him to get a sack. He ran to the side and got a sack with excitement on his face.

"One, two, three, four, five. What's after ten?" Xiang Sanlang looked at the sparrow in his hand with a puzzled look on his face. He obviously remembered to count, but he just couldn't. come out.

Shiro and Goro were even worse. They couldn't count until five at most, and could only watch the third brother counting helplessly.

Unexpectedly, the third brother could not count anymore.
"Third brother is stupid! Just remember ten first and then count from the beginning?!" Although Xiang Tiange doesn't know what the number after ten is, she is smart!

"That's right! One, two, three, we caught ten and three!" Xiang Sanlang looked excitedly at the sack held in the fourth brother's hand. Inside the sack, the birds were flapping constantly. Wings, he hurriedly pulled out a few straws without grains from the ground, and tied the sack tightly to prevent the birds from flying out!

"Third brother, third brother, come and catch again, come and catch again!" Xiang Tiange looked excited. She had just watched the birds being caught at close range. She also wanted to try the feeling of pulling the rope, so she said again: " Can you let me pull the rope this time?"

Xiang Sanlang looked at the grains left on the ground, nodded, and said, "Okay!"

"Third Brother, I want it too!"

"I want to pull it too!"

"I want, too!"

Xiang Wulang, Xiang Liulang, Xiang Qilang and others also looked at the third brother with excitement. Although Xiang Silang didn't speak, he also looked at the basket on the ground eager to try.

"Okay, let the eighth sister pull it first later. I should be able to catch these millet a few more times!" Xiang Sanlang nodded.

Soon, Xiang Sanlang rearranged the trap to catch the birds.

In fact, there is no need to arrange it, just put the baskets in place again.

Xiang Tiange looked expectantly at the basket that had been set up not far away. Birds may have no memory and don't want to eat and fight. It was obvious that they had captured so many of their companions not long ago, but at this time, the sense of smell was Smelling the fragrant smell of millet under the basket, there were still birds flapping their wings and flying down, gathering under there to peck at the millet that attracted them!

Xiang Tiange was very patient and smart. He did not pull the rope immediately when the birds flew down. Instead, he followed the example of his third brother and waited for a while, waiting for the birds to see the grain in front of them. The little hand suddenly pulled the rope, and the basket fell over due to stress, covering all the birds gathered underneath!
Xiang Sanlang's eyes widened and he reacted quickly. He suddenly stepped forward and suppressed the restless basket, with an ecstatic expression on his face.

"I caught it, I caught it! Yaya also caught the bird~" Xiang Tiange trotted to the basket and excitedly clapped his little hands.

"Quick, fourth brother, bring that sack!" Xiang Sanlang looked at Xiang Silang behind him and said to him.

"Here we come!" Xiang Shiro stepped forward, untied the straw tied to the sack in his hand, held the mouth of the bag and moved closer to Xiang Shiro.

"One, two, three." Xiang Sanlang grabbed the sparrows covered under the basket one by one and put them into the sack, counting them in his mouth.

"There are two ten birds in total!" Xiang Sanlang was very excited. The birds he caught twice were enough for his old Xiang family to eat twice!

"Wow--"

Several of the little ones at home made excited sounds.

Xiang Tiange felt less curious after trying to pull the rope. He hid aside and watched quietly as his brothers continued to catch the bird.

Maybe the birds have learned a lesson, or maybe they are missing a lot of companions and realize something is wrong. As they get to the back, the Xiang family's young men catch less and less, but they don't care.They have already caught enough birds before, and they just want to have fun in the process of catching birds!
What a few people didn't know was that there was a carriage not far away that stopped there shortly after they started catching birds. There was a little head sticking out of the window and staring at them while catching birds.

"Dafu, what are they doing?" Qu Xiang stared curiously at the Xiang family's children who were gathered around the field and shouting excitedly from time to time.

Dafu, who was sitting in the front room of the carriage, that is, sitting with the coachman outside the carriage, heard his young master's question and opened the curtain to look at him. Seeing him staring at a spot in the field next to him, he followed his path. He turned around and saw what was happening and said: "Back to you, young master, it should be the children in the village catching birds in the fields!"

Although Dafu has never farmed, in Qufu, he has dealt with the servants who have farmed.

"Catch birds?!"

Qu Xiang was instantly interested. It seemed like he had never caught a bird before!

When you were in Fuzhou in the past, did you want any exotic birds?Even if not, someone will eagerly send it over, as long as it is what he wants!

"Tomorrow, I will also catch birds!" Qu Xiang said without hesitation.

"Yes, young master."

Dafu had no objection. He was originally sent here to follow the young master and protect him. He just caught a bird, which was nothing to him.

Qu Xiang didn't expect that retiring from old age and returning to his hometown with his grandparents would be such a fun thing. He originally thought that coming to places like this village would be very painful, but now it seems that it's quite good!
"Let's go, these birds probably won't come over."

Looking at the flocks of birds lingering in the sky, and then looking at the few grains left on the ground, although the birds are still in flocks, they just don’t fall down.
Xiang Sanlang simply asked a few brothers to come over and pick them up together. These grains, washed and dried, were still grain, including the sack of birds they caught. After they were taken back and slaughtered, there was a lot of food in their stomachs. Undigested millet must be cleaned. Even if people don't eat it, it can be used to feed chickens and ducks!

"it is good!"

The few children have had enough of it, and Xiang Tiange has long wanted to return home.

"We've gone home! What are you still doing there?"

In the distance, Boss Xiang shouted to a few little kids.

The few children looked up and found that the adults had already finished mowing the land and were packing up their farm tools. The sky was turning yellow as the sun set.

"I'm coming!"

A few little ones took steps towards the adults and followed them.

"Mom! We caught a lot of birds today!"

Xiang Tiange came to her mother and shared with her what she and her brothers were doing.

"Oh? So many, so many, how many are there?!"

With a smile on her face, Wang held the sickles in one hand, freeing up her other hand to lead her little daughter back to the village.
