Chapter 43 With Shrimp
Roman walked under the awning, sat down with a sigh of relief.

Xuan Jiu opened his eyes and looked at Roman next to him, didn't speak, then closed his eyes to rest.After more than ten days of rest and recuperation, his animal power has recovered more than half.

Roman clicked his lips with a sad face, shook his head, and muttered: "Xuan Jiu, tell me, what should I do?"

Xuan Jiu didn't answer.He knew Roman was talking to himself.

Gululu, Gululu.

Roman pursed his lips, touched his stomach, and said, "Let's prepare dinner first... Only when you are full will you have the strength to think about it!"

Roman picked up the wooden stick and prepared to go fishing by the stream. Before taking two steps, he suddenly remembered the prawns he saw in the stream a few days ago. Haha, let’s catch prawns!

When the belly is full, the head will be full too!
Shrimp, shrimp, no net, what to catch?
Roman sat back under the awning again, poking his left and right index fingers together.

Shrimp shrimp!
What can be used to catch shrimp?

Roman scratched left and right, fidgeting.

Xuan Jiu just opened his eyes this time, looked at the twisting Roman, and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Roman looked back at Xuan Jiu, and when he saw the animal skin on Xuan Jiu, he slapped his head suddenly, and said happily: "Haha, we have it!"

Roman trotted in and took out a large piece of animal skin, took a bone knife, sat beside Xuan Jiu, and used the bone knife to dig a thumb-thick hole in the animal skin. Roman lifted it up and looked at it. The holes are about the same thickness, water can flow through, and the shrimp will be caught in the net. Although it is not as professional as modern fishing and shrimp fishing nets, it should be able to catch a few to relieve hunger?

Roman got excited immediately, and dug holes one by one with a bone knife.

Xuan Jiu watched Roman digging holes in the animal skin, frowning slightly, what is this female doing?
"What are you?" Xuan Jiu really couldn't figure it out, so he asked.

"Here, I'm going to make a net, and I'll go catch shrimp in the creek later." Roman turned his head and said with a smile, his face full of joy, no longer the sad look on his face just now.

shrimp? ... what is ...

"Let me dig it for you." Although Xuan Jiu didn't know what Roman was talking about, but seeing Roman's clumsy digging, he looked anxious.

"You? Okay." Roman unceremoniously handed the bone knife and animal skin to Xuan Jiu.

Xuan Jiu took the bone knife and animal skin, and dug one by one according to the size of the hole Roman dug.

Roman watched Xuan Jiu's knife flying like flying, and the holes dug out were neat and even. He clapped his hands and said, "Hahaha, I didn't expect you... oh, I didn't expect you to be a good hand at digging holes."

Xuan Jiu watched Roman's movements, raised the corners of his lips, and said nothing.

After a while, a large piece of animal skin was dug out.

Roman took the animal hide, looked at the densely packed small holes on the hide, kicked his feet proudly, and said with a smile: "Let's go, Xuan Jiu, go shrimp hunting with me!"

Xuan Jiu followed Roman to the creek.

This creek varies in width and narrowness. The wide part is about two or three meters wide, and the narrow part is less than one meter wide.

Roman probably compared the width of the animal skin in his hand, which was about one and a half meters, so he found a place that was over one meter in length. After comparing it with the animal skin, he put down the animal skin and went to the shore to find a few thicker branches. Come over, strip off the leaves on the branches, leaving only the bare branches, and find a few big stones, and call Xuan Jiu to help him move them here.

After making preparations, Roman asked Xuan Jiu to insert the branches on both banks according to her gestures, and fixed them with big stones, and then Roman tightly tied the two ends of the animal skin to the branches.

Because of the hole in the middle of the animal skin, the flow of the stream slowed down a little.

Xuan Jiu stared at the animal skin lying horizontally in the middle of the stream, and immediately understood what Roman was going to do.

This female is quite... smart.

Roman and Xuan Jiu stood on the bank, looking at the stream.

After a while, Roman saw a few fish and swam over leisurely.

Roman's heart rose to his throat.This animal skin is used to catch shrimps, so it might be interesting, but it might be difficult to use it to catch fish.

The leading fish swam over, and when it was about to touch the animal skin, it turned around and wanted to swim back.

Xuan Jiu stood by and waited for an opportunity with a wooden stick. When he saw a fish, he rushed over with a stride, and a wooden stick caught a fish.

All the movements were in the blink of an eye, and Roman looked at the fish in Xuan Jiu's hand in amazement, bit his lip, and said with a smile: "Hahaha, I didn't expect your accuracy to be good, this fish tonight, go back and stew it for you Soup to drink!"

Roman said, took the fish from Xuan Jiu's hand, and threw it on the grass.

Roman picked up a small stone, squatted down, put his hands together, and said softly: "Amitabha, fish, fish, go to the Paradise of Paradise early!" After speaking, Roman picked up the stone and hit the fish's head four or five times. After the fish stopped moving, he put down the stone and walked to Xuan Jiu's side.

Xuan Jiu watched Roman's movements, and the corners of his lips raised unconsciously.

After picking up the fish, Roman sat on the grass and watched the stream quietly.

I ran into a shrimp by accident that day. I don’t know if there will be any shrimp swimming over today?

Xuan Jiu stared at the stream carefully, and decided to sit down after there was no movement for a long time.Before Xuan Jiu's butt touched the ground, he felt Roman pull the animal skin on his body.

Xuan Jiu hurriedly looked into the stream, and saw a dozen translucent things swimming towards him.Is this the shrimp?

Roman watched the dozen or so shrimps swim to the animal skin area of ​​the hole. Three or four of them followed the water flow and got stuck in the hole. Two smaller shrimps escaped from the hole, and there were seven or eight The prawns got stuck in the hide.

This is the time!
Roman took off his leather shoes, took another piece of animal skin and stuffed the shrimp between the two skins.

"Xuan Jiu, come here quickly, pick up those shrimps and throw them on the shore." Roman called softly.

Xuan Jiu jumped into the water with quick eyes and hands, managed to catch two, threw them on the shore, and started all over again.

Shrimp are very flexible in the water. Although Xuan Jiu is a three-pattern beast, his sensitivity and reaction speed are correspondingly higher than Roman's, but it is still a bit difficult to catch the shrimp with bare hands.

A few prawns escaped through the crevices.

Roman delightedly took some shrimps from the hide in the hole and threw them on the shore.

After Roman collected the animal skins, he went to the grass and put the shrimps together, wrapped them in animal skins, and said with a smile, "Xuan Jiu, you take the fish, let's go back first."

At the entrance of the cave, Roman put a few shrimps into the wooden basin that was made a few days ago, and asked Xuan Jiu to bring some water.

Looking at the wriggling shrimp in the wooden basin, Roman's eyes were almost glistening!
