Returning to 83 Mountain Hunting

Chapter 2 Midnight Harvest

"I'm afraid this eye is really broken."

Ji Chang found that he not only saw the night as dusk, but also saw many red horizontal bars, as if the TV was broken.

In his previous life, he traveled all over the world, and he never saw any absurd things.

But the sight in front of him still surprised him a little.

"Why are these bars the same as the health bars in the game?"

Before being reborn, Ji Chang was a person who liked new things. Although he only had a junior high school education level, he loved to ponder and was willing to spend money, so he naturally kept up with the times.

Although he is over [-] years old, he can play what young people like to play.

He can eat chicken, he can also play wild and catch people, and he loves to use Douyin to watch the side.

When I am bored, I also like to read some free novels to pass the time.

So, when he saw those red bars, he thought of the blood bars in the game.

It doesn't matter if you think about it this way, the more you think about it, the more you think it is.

Approaching one of the extremely short red strips, Ji Chang was stunned for a moment.

"frog?"

"So, it's really a blood bar?"

"Can I see the animal's health bar?"

"This is the golden finger written in the novel, right? Didn't expect me to have it too?"

Ji Chang grinned and let go of the frog in his hand.

For a moment, he felt that those countless blood bars became very pleasing.

Meat, looking around, it's all meat!
Try turning off the health bar, and Ji Chang found that it really works.

After all, it is indeed an eyesore when not needed.

After thinking about it for a while, I didn't figure out any new functions.

Now, he only has two abilities.

One is the extraordinary night vision ability, and the other is the ability to see the blood bars of animals.

These two abilities are completely invincible when used for hunting.

In other words, they were born for hunting.

After confirming that he had this golden hand for hunting, Ji Chang's footsteps became brisk.

He subconsciously fumbled in his pocket, and finally found a pack of crumpled cigarette cases and matchboxes.

Looking at the cigarettes without filters, Ji Chang suddenly crushed them.

Smoking not only affects hunting, but also affects health.

Stop doing!

"Fish and meat, I'm here for you, Master Ji."

After walking for a distance along the muddy road in the village, Ji Chang finally found the river with his revived memory.

It's just a small river without a name, and it doesn't flow through many villages.

However, there are many blood bars in the river, densely packed.

Although it is impossible to determine what kind of creatures these health bars are, the size of the creatures can be judged by the blood bars.

The river is not deep, and the deepest point is not even above the waist.

Ji Chang took the earthen bucket and started fishing along the grass on the river bank. This required quickly inserting the earthen bucket into the water and then fishing it out.

Taking the earthen basket out of the water, Ji Chang saw that there were two loaches in the earthen basket that had no time to escape, and three little finger-sized Xibai.

What surprised Ji Chang the most was the dozen or so lively small river prawns, although they were very small, only half the size of a pinky finger.

However, it is numerous.

Wherever the blood bars are densely packed, it means there is a lot of fresh water in the river. If you dig down a dustpan, you will always get something.

After going back and forth more than a dozen times, Ji Chang's arms became slightly sore.

However, there were already fifty or sixty river shrimps, a dozen creek shrimps, seven or eight loaches, and two two-finger-thick yellow ducks in the barrel.

"It's good to be young. It's a little sour after fishing a dozen times."

Ji Chang sighed, and continued to fish along the river to the downstream bank.

Only he can use this method.

Others can only fish blindly, and the harvest is not directly proportional to the effort, which is a waste of energy.

He continued to fish for more than half an hour, feeling that his arms were a little sore before he went ashore.

It's not that he doesn't want to continue, but that he is worried that Gu Shuyao is alone at home.

There are already four or five kilograms of small river shrimps, three or four kilograms of creek shrimps, and more than one kilogram of loaches in the barrel.

Although the loach in the river is thin and small, it has no earthy smell. After boiling it with distiller's grains, add some noodles, and you can cook it into extremely delicious loach noodles.

There are not many yellow pepper dices, only about half a catty.

Ji Chang was already very satisfied to have such a harvest in the middle of the night.

Relying on a dustpan without using other tools, he was able to catch so many fish, all thanks to his eyes.

He has already thought about going up to the mountain to cut some bamboo tomorrow and weave some bamboo baskets to throw into the river.

There is a lot of fresh food in the river, and just placing a few cages on the ground can enrich the dining table.

However, you have to go there in the middle of the night when no one is around.

Now people in the village don't even know what a ground cage is, and fishing basically depends on fishing.

But fishing is a technical job, and few people in the village have mastered it.

In addition, fishing takes a lot of time. Everyone is tied up in the field, and there is no way to spare so much time for fishing.

In Ji Chang's impression, only on rainy days would there be a few old men who would go fishing in coir raincoats.However, the harvest is not much each time, so everyone is not very interested in fishing.

In the final analysis, the river is too small to support any big fish.

But for Ji Chang, it was enough.

The taste of river fish is far better than that of the four major fishes. If he is the only one who masters fishing skills, their dining table will not be without fish.

But once people know the function of the ground cage and the ground cage, everyone will get out of the cage.

At that time, Ji Chang had no way to enjoy these delicious seafood to himself.

Anyway, the people in the village got along without fishing in their last life, so there is no need to change in this life.

Carrying the fish, Ji Chang hummed a tune that will not be composed until many years later, and hurriedly walked towards the house.

The sound of frogs was mixed with sporadic barking of dogs and occasionally the crying of some children.

In this day and age, it is dark inside the house, let alone outside.

All the way home, Ji Chang didn't meet anyone else.

As soon as he got home, Ji Chang heard Gu Shuyao's voice from inside the house: "Remember to lock the courtyard door. Aunt Liu said yesterday that a yellow skin was taking care of their house. Fortunately, they were bitten to death by rhubarb."

"You haven't slept yet. Pregnant women should go to bed early."

With that said, Ji Chang put down the things in his hands and bolted the courtyard door.

Ji Chang had eaten the chickens from his neighbor Aunt Liu's house before, and they were better raised than others.

Rhubarb is also a good dog, very intelligent, and the idle Ji Chang gets along well with him.

"I'll deal with these fish, you go to sleep quickly."

Many Xiaoxi Bai are dead, and their intestines need to be squeezed out, otherwise they will deteriorate and cause their stomachs to swell and become fishy.

In this era without refrigerators, if you want to keep food fresh, you have to rely on a well.

The Ji family has a well, and the water in the well is very cold.

Just process these small fish, put them in a container, put them in a basket, and lift them into the well. Keeping them fresh for a day or two is not a big problem.

Gu Shuyao was stunned for a moment when she heard that Ji Chang wanted to deal with it.

Taking the candlestick, Gu Shuyao came to Ji Chang's side.

The dim candlelight illuminated the wooden barrel, and Gu Shuyao's eyes widened when she saw a pile of brook whites turned upside down in the barrel.

"I have caught so much, how many catties must it be?"

After finishing speaking, she swallowed involuntarily.

I haven't seen any meat or fish at home for several months.

"It's about two or three kilograms, and there are good things underneath." Ji Chang grinned and couldn't help but act like a fisherman and shared tonight's harvest with his wife.

"What a good thing, is it a yellow duck?" Gu Shuyao couldn't resist Ji Chang's temptation, and stretched out her hand to remove the belly-turned Xibai layer on top.

Seeing the dense river shrimps under the barrel, Gu Shuyao was immediately overjoyed and her eyes became a little brighter.

"River prawns, so many river prawns?"

"In that small river, there are still so many small river shrimps?"
