Chapter 28 The Little Brother Leads Up the Mountain 2
He Beichen continued. "Although you are not a beggar, you can't wait for your stepmother to take the initiative to feed you in this family."

Gu Mai nodded vigorously. "My little brother is right. I will fight for it in the future. I can't go hungry anymore."

He Beichen helped her lift the basket. "Let's go, let's go find the pheasant."

"Are there a lot of pheasants at this time? Is it easy to catch?" Gu Maimai asked curiously.In my memory, it is easier to catch pheasants in the mountains in winter, right?
He Beichen said as he walked. "At this time, although the ice and snow have melted in the spring, and some small green grasses have emerged, there are still no insects growing in the land. The pheasant likes to eat insects in the soil. Well... it is still their hunger period."

"Oh!"

On a small hillside, He Beichen stopped in his tracks, then took off the basket he was carrying, and placed it upside down on the ground, with a lot of grains mixed with sesame oil scattered on it.

Then he led her to hide under a tree, the branches hadn't sprouted yet, and the branches were warped.But it was more than enough to hide two people.

Gu Mai asked anxiously. "Brother, are there any pheasants here? I see it's very empty, there's nothing there."

He Beichen raised his finger and put it on his lips. "Hush... don't talk, it will scare the pheasant away."

"But no..." She lowered her voice.

She was so curious about catching pheasants because she went to Changbai Mountain to catch pheasants in her previous life, but the group of them didn't catch anything.

Looking pitifully at the other teams, returning with a full load, she never knew the trick.

He Beichen said in a low voice. "You see, there are no pheasants now, but pheasants are very fast and stealthy animals. They may appear before you inadvertently, and pheasants are not used to acting alone. They often have two or three Let’s act together. The hillside here faces the sun, the sun shines on it, and the snow melts relatively well, so the land here is relatively humid, which is good for the pheasants to prey on, so they will come over in a while.”

Sure enough, soon a black pheasant jumped out from the dead branch beside it, and it moved very quickly, eating the cornbread mixed with sesame oil. After that, two more pheasants flew over and began to eat.

Gu Maimai looked at the three pheasants, and slowly approached the basket along the path of eating grain. Just as the three pheasants entered the bottom of the basket, He Beichen suddenly pulled the basket, and the basket was snapped off. , all three pheasants were detained.

"Caught it." Gu Maimai shouted excitedly.

He Beichen raised the corners of his mouth, ran directly towards the basket, and expertly tied up the three pheasants.

Looking at the captured prey, Gu Maimai looked at him with even more admiration. "Little brother, you are really amazing.
He Beichen raised the corners of his mouth. "I'll make you a pheasant in a while, it's delicious."

"Okay!"

He Beichen led Gu Maimai to an abandoned house by the road, where there was a broken pot and some firewood.

"You wait here for me now. I'll go outside to fetch some water and I'll be back soon." He Beichen said.

Gu Mai nodded obediently.

He Beichen moved quickly, as if this kind of thing was already a habit, he got half a pot of water, put it on an iron frame, and started to light a fire.

Afterwards, he caught a pheasant and bent its head on its back.
