Returning to 83 Mountain Hunting

Chapter 15 The Big Harvest in the Ground Cage

Although tamed by the hunting space, the wildness is gone, but it still has the instinct to protect itself.

When you meet a stranger, you naturally want to run away.

"There are wild goats like this on the mountain?" Gu Shuyao was surprised when she saw the black goat.

She didn't expect that Ji Chang would catch a wild black sheep tonight.

"When I was a child, the wild black sheep raised by the production team ran up the mountain. It is impossible to have such wild black sheep in the mountains." Ji Chang explained.

"Later, the black sheep here got sheep plague and all disappeared. There are no black sheep of this breed nearby. They are all goats introduced from other places."

Gu Shuyao walked up to Ji Chang and grabbed his arm, as if she was worried that the black sheep would go crazy and rush over to hurt the child in her belly.

"There's a pigsty over there, shut it in quickly so it doesn't get away."

A live sheep of this size is very valuable.

It now seemed to be the most valuable thing in the house, and Gu Shuyao naturally couldn't let it escape.

"Okay, you can help me light it here, and I'll drive it in." Saying that, Ji Chang handed the flashlight to his wife.

After Ji Chang approached, the wild black sheep gradually calmed down.

Taking out the baffles of the pigsty piece by piece from the slot, Ji Chang drove the black sheep into the pigsty.

Then he put the baffle back along the slot, trapping the goat inside.

This pigsty is the handicraft of Ji Chang's father, and it can still be used after being abandoned for many years.

"Okay, close it, go to rest quickly, I have to go out for a while."

"Bring the ground cage back from the river before dawn, lest people discover my fishing methods."

Although Gu Shuyao was full of curiosity, she was curious about how Ji Chang caught the wild goat and brought it back.

But she didn't ask at this time, but handed the flashlight to Ji Chang: "Be careful, I'll wait for you to come back."

"Okay, I'll be back within half an hour." Saying that, Ji Chang picked up a bucket and went out with a flashlight.

The two little milk dogs looked up at Ji Chang, but did not follow him out, but wagged their tails around Gu Shuyao's feet in favor.

Ji Chang walked quickly towards the river, and arrived at the first ground cage after a few minutes.

The ground cage was still there, so he pulled out the bamboo thorns inserted on the bank, and tied a rope to the ground cage.

There are a lot of fish inside, because the dense blood strips are piled up together, it looks like a big piece of red.

Moreover, it is also very heavy to pull up.

When leaving the water, you can hear the crackling sound inside, and there is great movement.

Opening the movable baffle behind the cage, Ji Chang poured all the fish into the bucket.

"There are even spicy strips..."

Little water snake, take it back and give it to the two little puppies.

He grabbed it out and pulled hard, breaking its bones.

Then he glanced at the fish in the bucket and found that besides Xi Baitiao, there were actually some wild crucian carp in it.

"There are wild crucian carp, good stuff!" It was the first time Ji Chang knew that there were crucian carp in the river in his hometown.

Pesticides are rarely used at this time, so there are still many kinds of fish in the river.

After decades of waiting, it is very difficult to see river prawns, brook whitefish and cross-flowered fish in the river, all of which have been poisoned to death by pesticides.

In addition to crucian carp, there are loaches, stream whitefish, small grouper, peach blossom fish, loach, river crab, and river shrimp. There are many varieties, weighing seven to eight catties in total, and the harvest far exceeds Ji Chang's expectations.

Then Ji Chang went to retrieve the second cage.

There were no spicy sticks in the second cage, but the harvest was about ten catties, filling the buckets to the brim.

It was a bumper harvest. The total fish caught in the two cages was thirty kilograms. It was an absolute bumper harvest.

He tried to get the fish into his hunting space, but failed.

He had no choice but to carry the bucket and two ground cages and hurriedly ran towards home.

When Ji Chang arrived home, Gu Shuyao was teasing two little milk dogs.

"Are there any other buckets at home? There seems to be a big wine vat, right?" Ji Chang rushed into the house and asked quickly.

"Well, there is a wine tank in the storage room." Gu Shuyao said quickly, she knew that she must have gained a lot, that's why Ji Chang asked.

Ji Chang put down the things, handed the flashlight to Gu Shuyao, and rushed straight into the storage room on the first floor.

After a while, Ji Chang carried the big wine jar out of it and put it beside the well.

"Why are there so many fish? Isn't that too much?" Gu Shuyao shined a flashlight on the bucket. It was full of fish, not even water.

Because if you add water, the bucket will be too full.

"Because no one is lowering the net, and no one is lowering the cage on the ground, there is no right way."

The wine tank has been abandoned for many years, and there is no smell of wine in it.

After cleaning it, Ji Chang moved it under the eaves and poured several buckets of water into it.

Then, the husband and wife caught live fish in the tank.

There are so many fish that can’t be eaten all at once, so if you can raise them, you can raise them first, and you can catch them as you want.

"There are too many fish, and there are such big fish. This is crucian carp, isn't it only found in the reservoir?" Gu Shuyao held a soil crucian carp that was nearly half a catty, with a face full of disbelief.

"Well, it's the wild crucian carp. I didn't expect it to be in the river. Crucian carp is especially good for pregnant women and postpartum women, so I'm going to save these for you to make soup to ensure that you have enough protein intake every day."

Saying that, Ji Chang caught all the crucian carp in the bucket into the new fish tank like a baby.

Because they came back in time, only a part of Xibai and Peach Blossom Fish died.

Ji Chang didn't put loach and river prawns in this fish tank, they just put them in buckets.

The river crabs were put into another bucket by Ji Chang. These river crabs were not big in size and probably had little meat to eat.

"Okay, you can go to bed now, there is still some time before dawn." As he spoke, Ji Chang took out the 'spicy strips', chopped them into pieces and threw them to the two little milk dogs.

"Come on, you go to bed. I went to bed early last night, so I won't be sleepy anymore." Saying that, Gu Shuyao grabbed the wooden basin to dispose of the dead fish inside.

"Okay, you can go and take a rest after finishing the work." After saying that, Ji Chang went into the room to rest.

It took more than half an hour to process the small fish weighing more than a kilogram. After processing, they were put into baskets and hung into the well to keep them fresh.

After doing this, Gu Shuyao also returned to the room and lay down again.

She and Ji Chang still slept in separate rooms, and Ji Chang didn't seem to have any plans to move back in with her.

Of course, Ji Chang didn't move back, mainly because of his children's problems.

He was worried that he would damage the child with heavy hands, after all, there were a pair of lovely twins living inside.

Ji Chang cannot accept any small accident.

　Tyrants, let's get some monthly pass allowances! !
