Chen Yanyan nodded, raised what she thought was the most beautiful smile, and spoke softly.
"Little squirrel, be good and let me touch it, okay." After saying that, Chen Yanyan tentatively stretched out her hand. Seeing that the squirrel didn't resist her that much, Chen Yanyan felt happy and became bolder.
She reached out and touched the little squirrel's face, then opened her palms to touch the squirrel's belly. Unexpectedly, the squirrel suddenly jumped on Chen Yanyan's palm.
"Ah, captain, look, this little squirrel likes me." Chen Yanyan's face burst with surprise. This feeling of being liked is amazing.
Chen Jie breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the three girls' attention had all shifted to the squirrel. Fortunately, he brought the squirrel back.
The three girls were gathered together at this time, studying the squirrel in front of them.
Chen Jie turned around and picked up the bamboo on the ground and began to prepare a fishing trap.
After measuring the length of the bamboo, Chen Jie picked up the hand ax and rubbed it until it was almost done. Then he used his hands to split the bamboo into two parts.
Cut out two long, slender and straight bamboo tubes without any bamboo joints.
When weaving a cover from bamboo strips, the size should be able to cover the mouth of the bamboo tube. This kind of cover can make it easier for eels to get in and difficult to get out.
Chen Jie weaved a total of four covers and put them on the mouths of the four tubes respectively. After working for a long time, Chen Jie made two bamboo tube traps. Looking at the bamboo tubes in his hands, Chen Jie decided to throw them into the stream and try them out.
"Captain, what are you talking about?" Chen Yanyan turned around and saw Chen Jie holding two bamboo tubes and shaking them back and forth.
"Eel trap, I plan to use this to catch some eels for you to eat." Chen Jie looked at Chen Yanyan and noticed that Lisa and Xiao Baihe were also looking at him.
"Captain, you are so good, you are so clever." Chen Yanyan walked towards Chen Jie with a smile, and curiously looked at the bamboo tube in Chen Jie's hand.
Can eels be tricked in with just two bamboo tubes?
Isn’t it a bit fantasy?
Xiao Baihe also looked at the bamboo tube in Chen Jie's hand with curiosity. He picked it up and studied it carefully. He didn't find anything special. He only felt that Chen Jie had made two weird nets on both sides of the bamboo tube.
Like a funnel, one side is thick and the other is thin.
"Captain, is this reliable?" Xiao Baihe looked at Chen Jie suspiciously, always feeling a little uneasy.
"Try it, fish like eels really like this kind of place." Chen Jie said proudly, thinking that the trap in his hand would be fine and he could catch many eels.
Lisa walked over with the squirrel in her arms, looked at the bamboo tube in Chen Jie's hand, and spoke calmly.
"You should have confidence in the captain. I think we can definitely catch eels with this bamboo tube."
Chen Jie looked at Lisa with a surprised look. You must know that Lisa rarely praises people easily due to her personality. She didn't expect that she would praise him so proactively today.
Does the sun rise in the west?
Chen Jie looked towards the sun. Sure enough, it was in the west, but it was not rising, but setting.
"You can catch eels with just two bamboo tubes. Captain, are you too awesome?" When Xiao Baihe heard Lisa's words, she felt that it made sense. She stretched out her hand and gave Chen Jie a thumbs up.
Chen Jie smiled, said nothing, and picked up another bamboo tube on the ground.
"Okay, I'm going to set the trap now. You guys have a rest." After saying that, Chen Jie turned around and walked towards the stream.
"Wait a minute, I'm going too." Chen Yanyan exclaimed, fearing that Chen Jie would leave her behind, so she quickly chased after Chen Jie.
"I also want to see how the captain used a bamboo tube to make a trap." Xiao Baihe's face was full of curiosity, and she glanced sideways at Lisa beside her.
Lisa curled her lips and looked at Chen Jie's back.
"Actually, I'm quite curious too. Come on, let's go take a look." After saying that, Lisa put the squirrel in her hand on her shoulder, raised her legs and walked towards the creek.
When he came to the creek, Chen Jie did not expect that the three girls would follow him. With the three girls full of expectations, Chen Jie put the bamboo tube at his feet, took out the shovel and started digging.
"Captain, will the eels be in the soil?" Xiao Baihe didn't know what Chen Jie was going to do, and thought Chen Jie was going to throw the bamboo trap into the soil.
Chen Jie rolled his eyes at Xiao Baihe, wondering what was going on with this woman.
IQ is getting lower and lower?
Chen Jie didn't answer Xiao Baihe's words until he dug out some red earthworms.
Only then did Xiao Baihe realize that Chen Jie was planning to use earthworms as bait. After understanding Chen Jie's intention, Xiao Baihe made a big blush.
It's so embarrassing. How could she ask such a weak/intelligent question?
Lisa and Chen Yanyan didn't notice Xiao Baihe's embarrassment, because they were both attracted to the earthworms in Chen Jie's hand.
"Captain, what are you doing with such disgusting earthworms?" Chen Yanyan frowned and saw Chen Jie rubbing/rubbing the earthworms. The scene felt a bit disgusting.
"Of course it's for making bait." Chen Jie said calmly, rubbing the earthworms in his hands together to make earthworm mud balls.
Then stuff the earthworm mud balls into the bamboo tube, and now even the eel bait is ready.
Chen Jie adjusted the position and tried to place the earthworm ball in the middle of the bamboo tube.
After adjusting the earthworm balls, Chen Jie placed the woven covers on both ends of the bamboo tube, took off his shoes, stepped into the stream, selected two prime locations, and placed the bamboo tube into the stream.
Seeing that the water flow in the creek was very fast, Chen Jie picked up a few big stones and pressed them on the bamboo tube.
to play a fixed role.
After finishing it, Chen Jie observed it for a while and then went ashore. With this kind of trap, one can only calm down and wait for the fish to take the bait.
"Captain, is this all right?" Chen Yanyan stared at the bamboo tube in the water. Although there were small fish swimming in it, they just smelled it and left. There were even some fry smaller than fingers.
Shuttle back and forth inside.
"Yes, we will know tomorrow whether it can be done or not." Chen Jie looked at Chen Yanyan confidently, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he was very confident in the trap he designed.
squeak squeak
The squirrel barked at Chen Jie, opening its short arms like a baby looking for someone to hold.
"Little guy, do you want me to hug you?" Chen Jie was so cute by the squirrel's movements.
He stretched out his hand and saw the squirrel quickly jump on him, staring at Chen Jie with a pair of big dark eyes.
"Wow, this is so enviable." Chen Yanyan said with envy on her face, wishing she could turn herself into a squirrel and jump into the captain's hand to act coquettishly.
"It is indeed very enviable." Xiao Baihe said lightly from the side, with envy and jealousy in his eyes.
