The daily farming life of the black-bellied young lady

Chapter 31 Fishing
Chu Ying got up early in the first place, and because of the unaccustomed environment, she woke up even earlier, "Aren't you asleep?" Chu Ying looked at Yan Yushu who was still open, did this guy sleep with his eyes open?

"No, why did you wake up so early? Go back to sleep." Chu Ying looked at the snow that had stopped, and the wooden cup made by Yan Yushu by the fire.

The wooden cup is not used for heating and boiling, but for melting snow water, "It's okay, you can sleep for a while." Chu Ying watched him squint for a while, then chopped two thicker pieces of wood, and dug a small hole on top. hole, and then put the charcoal into it for dry burning, which will save effort.

Today I had to find the way back, and it was a waste of energy. Chu Ying chopped a thinner piece of wood and did the same. When the charcoal was dry, she made a cover for it. Maybe it could bring some water, or Put the snow in a cup and carry it on your body, and use your body temperature to warm it up.

When Yan Yushu woke up, Chu Ying had already made two long water cups, and Chu Ying tore off two pieces of the lids on top to tie up the cup lids with her autumn clothes, so as to prevent the water from being dumped. It was a waste, and Chu Ying made a cloth ring on the side, which can hang the cup on her waist or carry it.

"The servants at home should find us soon, let's wait first." Yan Yushu himself was injured and it was difficult for him to move, and Chu Ying was a small child, so it would be inconvenient for him to go far, so it's better to stay here.

"Okay. I'll go out and find some food." Chu Ying took one of the wooden cups that had been burnt in the middle to collect some food.This is not an ideal place to stay. There is a jungle in the back and strange rocks in front. If the snow melts, there will be no water source. Chu Ying has to find a new shelter and prepare for the worst.

There were no traces of animals in the snowy forest. Originally, animals were going to hibernate this season. Chu Ying used a knife to pry open some rotten wood to see if there were any animal larvae that could be eaten. The eggs come for the winter.

Although it looks fluffy, the larvae are high in protein and can be found without much effort. They are low-input and high-return survival food.

Chu Ying searched for a long time and found half a cup of larvae. Her hands were too cold, and she didn't want to go deep into the jungle, as going back and forth would consume a lot of calories.Chu Ying put the larvae on two logs and let the fire bake slowly.

Chu Ying felt that eating larvae raw would be too much for this young man, so it would be a good breakfast if cooked and crispy.

"Eat more. I'll go around and see if there's anything to eat. You just wait here." Chu Ying saw that he didn't shy away from these larvae, and her complexion didn't change when she ate them.

"Don't go far away." Chu Ying chopped more wood before leaving. If he froze to death in this wilderness, how would he explain to his family when he went out.

Seeing that his wound was slowly healing, Chu Ying took some of the Selaginella plucked yesterday and baked it on the big knife.Fried Selaginella has the effect of hemostasis, can promote blood circulation and stimulate menstruation, and treat bruises. If there is no way to fry it at present, fry it first.

"You wait and eat it." Chu Ying finished cooking and was ready to go on the road to find lunch.

"Take your bow with you? Do you know how to use it?" Chu Ying looked at the delicate bow in his hand. There were a few animal bones on the surface of the bow. Pick it up and take it away. It was strong and elastic, but she couldn't use it herself. .

This bow is Yan Yushu's own matching bow. It is the most convenient one. The wood is made of high-quality yew wood, antler pieces and beef tendon, and then it is made of glue, silk, and lacquer. It took 3 years to adjust the bow myself and it took 2 years to get it right.

"I'll try." This is the first time I'm using a bow as a bride, but I've used a composite crossbow a few times, but it's a heavy bow, mainly used for long-distance shooting. Although this bow Great stretch, but still rusty.

"This is a hunting bow. Put your legs forward and backward, lean your waist back, hold the bow in your left hand, and then use your right hand to take the arrow." Yan Yushu stood up and guided Chu Ying's posture a little bit.

"After taking back the arrow, place the tip of the arrow on the bowstring, place the arrowhead on the arrow rest, keep the arrowhead close to the body of the bow, balance it with the left arm, draw the string with the right hand, and shoot when the bowstring is fully drawn. "Chu Ying also knows a little about this method, but it is still not so easy to master. Chu Ying first practiced it on the tree trunk a few times. Although she couldn't do it a few times, she gradually mastered it.

"It's not bad for the first time you use it." The bow is still very elastic. In fact, it's not bad for a child like Chu Ying to pull it open.

"Thanks." Fighting, using firearms, survival in the wild, parachuting, and diving are all commonplace and part of training, but I really don't have much contact with bows and arrows. I really should learn a few hands of archery from the squad leader in Inner Mongolia. .

Chu Ying walked all the way to the low-lying place, where it would be warmer, and also hoped to find a source of flowing water.After walking for about an hour and a half, Chu Ying found a small stream with some fish in it, but they were wandering at the lower level.

Chu Ying wanted to make a harpoon first, but thinking about the bow and arrow behind her, she might be able to shoot fish with a bow and arrow. Chu Ying is not sure if her archery skills can do it, so she should make a harpoon first, just in case it doesn’t work Second-hand preparations are also available.

Chu Ying took a straight and hard wood, split it crosswise at one end, fixed the harpoon with a small wooden strip at the split position, and then tied the bottom of the harpoon cut and the top of the small wooden strip with a rope, so that the harpoon would be Will not crack.

Chu Ying sharpened the front end of the harpoon with a knife. This fork can not only spear the fish but also defend itself when the time comes. The length is suitable and the tip is sharp.It's okay to kill other animals.

Chu Ying first used a bow and arrow to practice her archery skills. Although she missed the shot the first time, she shot a small fish for herself the second time.Chu Ying took the fish down and slapped it with a stone. Although the fish had already been shot by herself, she was still afraid that it would turn over and slip back.

Chu Ying has gained quite a lot, maybe there are not many people in this valley, and the fish here are a bit clumsy, but there is no container to cook fish, and grilled fish is also acceptable.But Chu Ying saw that the soil by the stream was soft and sticky, so maybe she could make some clay pots.

Chu Ying looked at the sun and it was still early, Yan Yushu should not die of hunger.Chu Ying kneaded the soil by the stream like kneading dough, then took a small lump and kneaded it into strips, and spread leaves on a stone, so that she could turn the clay pot when the time came.

Put a round bottom first, and then surround it with strips of mud.When the circle reached a suitable height, Chu Ying pressed down the circles of protruding mud with both hands to fill the gap.Then Chu Ying returned to the shelter with the two clay pots and a string of fish she had prepared.
