Dashu and Mufeng and the others looked at the pouring rain, thinking that it would rain heavily and they would not have to do anything, so they squeezed into the cave and slept for a while.
A heavy rain continued for an hour. It stopped raining at dawn and the weather became very cool.
Thinking of the heavy rain in the early morning, Yao Xiaoqing was worried about the flash flood and said to Yao Hu: "Father, I will go down the mountain to see if the water in the ditch has reached the open space."
Yao Hu stopped her and said, "It's still raining. You wait at home while my father and Uncle Dashi go take a look."
"Okay!" Yao Xiaoqing looked at several people rushing into the rain and fog, and then realized that he had forgotten to get some straw hats to protect him from the sun and rain.
Yaohu took Dashi and the others down the mountain, and took a look at the water inlet under the wall at the foot of the mountain. The water was indeed much stronger, and the water that overflowed was still some distance from the bottom of the wall.
Going further down, I found that the water in several ponds had overflowed to the outside, and there were big fish swimming in the ditches.
Several people walked to the fence under the wall facing the river and heard the fish stirring up the water in the ditch.
Yao Hu looked at the big fish in the ditch and said, "It seems that all the small fish have got out through the gaps in the fence, and the big fish is blocked by the fence."
Dashi pointed at a group of big blue fish four to five feet long and laughed, "Haha! Look at that big fish. I'll go down and catch it, take it back and chop it into fish balls to eat."
The bull shouted: "You guys catch it first, I'll go back and get the net to catch it."
Yao Hu smiled and waved, "Go! By the way, bring down a basket."
The bull nodded and ran towards the mountain. Dashi and Spear jumped into the ditch with a smile. The two of them spotted the target, opened their five claws, and caught a big blue fish in one swift motion.
The big herring struggled desperately in the water, and water splashed all over their faces. They laughed, grabbed it and threw it to the shore.
After a while, several big fish were caught and thrown to the shore.
Seeing how excited they were in catching them, Yaohu also jumped in. The three big men were flopping around in the ditch.
Yao Xiaoqing, Xiong Niu, Pig and Mu Feng carried baskets, nets and fish cages to the edge of the ditch. She looked at the big fish on the shore and felt that the big ones weighed at least ten or twenty kilograms.
This kind of fish is not the same species as the one caught in the pond a few days ago. It looks like grass carp, but the color is a little different.
Let's say it looks like the big herring in the river! Looking carefully, she felt that it was still a little different. She thought maybe it didn't have enough time to evolve, so it looked different.
Mu Feng and Zhi lowered the fish cage at the outlet, went ashore and caught a big herring four to five feet long. They said with a smile: "Xiao Qing, the largest pond must be very deep, and these big fish must be hiding at the bottom. We
I’ve never been caught.”
"It should be. This fish will definitely taste good when chopped into fish balls."
Yao Xiaoqing said, suddenly thinking of the pickled fish, thinking about going back to pickle a jar of pickled cabbage with the kind of wild vegetables that Shan Amu and the others had just found, which are similar to green vegetables. When the peppers turn red, they can cook the pickled fish.
There are also taro, there are so many taro stalks in the field, I will cut some taro stalks back later, dry some, pickle some, and add vegetables when there is no vegetables in winter.
Mufeng and Xiongniu also jumped into the ditch and started catching fish. After about an hour, they caught all the big fish in the ditch.
After counting, there were twenty or thirty pieces, the small one weighed about ten kilograms, and the big one weighed at least twenty kilograms. They were put into two baskets, and several people carried them back.
The rain stopped and the sun emerged through the clouds. Mufeng pointed to the horizon and shouted: "Xiaoqing, look."
Yao Xiaoqing looked up and saw a rainbow hanging on the horizon, "What a beautiful rainbow."
Dashi said to Yaohu: "Chief, we will set off tomorrow. The colorful long bridge is a good sign."
Yao Hu smiled and nodded, "Yes, it's a good sign."
Everyone put down the basket and looked at the rainbow quietly, making sounds of admiration from time to time. Only when the rainbow dispersed did they lift up the basket and go back.
When the people on the mountain saw the two big baskets of fish they brought back, they all laughed happily.
Uncle Chong smiled and said: "There are two more fish cages. They will be put into the river later."
After hearing this, Yun Amu laughed and said: "Three fish cages can bring back a lot of food. There are two big cans of dried river shrimps, and the shelves are full of dried fish."
Leopard Amu laughed after hearing this, "Ayun, you still think you have too much food!"
"The two bamboo sheds are full of food, and I'm worried that there will be no place to put it." Yun Amu feels that there are too many things and no place to put them, which is also a sweet burden.
Yao Hu waved his hand and said, "Don't be afraid. When we move down the mountain, there will be room for even more food."
"Breakfast is ready, everyone, hurry up and eat." Shan Amu and the others have already prepared breakfast, including deer bone and wild vegetable soup, and leek and kudzu rice cakes.
We couldn't go out hunting on a rainy day, but we unexpectedly harvested two baskets of big fish. A group of people happily sat around and had breakfast together.
Mu Ya and Da A Mu hid in the cave and were nowhere to be seen. No one asked them to eat food. Mu Ba and the three of them divided their cakes and gave them to the two of them.
Mu Ya took the pancake without saying a word and took a bite.
Muba stuffed the pancakes into their hands, turned around and walked out.
After the men had eaten, they wiped their mouths, took their tools, and went down the mountain to work.
Yao Xiaoqing said to Shan Amu: "Amu, at home, wash the vegetables you picked yesterday and hang them on the fence to dry."
"I planted some in the ground and washed the rest?" Shan Am said.
"That's right, Eminem, if you find good wild vegetables in the future, don't pick all them. Leave some for them to bear fruit, collect them and plant them yourself."
Everyone nodded, "We understand."
Yao Xiaoqing gave Hua a few words, took some taro and asu, took a bamboo knife and a basket on his back and went down the mountain to cut the taro stalks.
Hua and Shan Amu went into the cave to get canes and saw Mu Ya and Da Amu sitting there eating pancakes.
The two of them came out holding the cane, and Shan Amu sneered: "We are not from the Yaoshan tribe anymore, but we still have the nerve to eat the food of the Yaoshan tribe."
Hua advised: "Amu, Xiaoqing knows this. She said that for the sake of Muba and the others, we should ignore them. Let us take care of the things in the yard and don't let them go down the mountain."
Bao Amu smiled and said: "I tell you, there will be times when they will regret it in the future. Don't I know the Dawu tribe? My grandma is from the Dawu tribe. It is the same as Yaoshan. They have to go out to collect food every day. If they are not careful,
You will get beaten."
Hua smiled and said, "Never mind her! It's all something you brought on yourself, so you can't blame anyone!"
Muya stood at the entrance of the cave, listening to the women washing dishes by the sink talking about her, and was so angry that she almost rushed over to argue with them.
Big Eminem hurriedly stepped forward and pulled her back, scolding her in a low voice: "You still go to provoke them, do you think you won't have food to eat today?"
Mu Ya remembered how she felt when she was hungry last night, so she had no choice but to lower her head and follow her back.
Shan Amu and the others killed the fish, punctured the fat and hung it on skewers to dry. They filled a basin full of fish intestines and livers.
Keep one large fish and chop it into mincemeat and set it aside, salt the rest in a wooden barrel.
