Chapter 74 The Tree Bed
Taking advantage of the bright sky, Zhang Xiaohua and Duan Yu ate the last bowl of porridge together. Duan Yu chopped off some branches with the small knife, and Zhang Xiaohua climbed up the tree with the small knife, and spread them on the branches of the tree. It was fixed with straw ropes to form a small and simple bed that could accommodate two people.

This is also Zhang Xiaohua's suggestion. There is no need for a river beach here, and there will be wild animals in the woods. It is not safe to sleep on the ground, and it is better to sleep on a tree.

Feeling firm, Zhang Xiaohua rubbed the picked herbs on it again, and spread the juice of the herbs on the bed of branches.

Duan Yu also climbed up with great effort at this time, sat on the side, looked at the bed of branches in novelty, and then looked at Zhang Xiaohua rubbing the herbal medicine, and asked inexplicably.

"what are you doing?"

Zhang Xiaohua knelt there, rubbing hard while saying.

"There are too many mosquitoes in the woods, and there may be snakes. If you apply this herbal juice, the mosquitoes and snakes will not come."

Duan Yu's eyes were bright, and he couldn't help but praise.

"You know so much."

"Of course! We often drill in the woods!"

"You? Who are you?"

"Me and my two older brothers, and a few children from the village."

"Then why do you often drill into the woods?"

"Looking for something to eat!"

After Zhang Xiaohua rubbed against the tree trunk to catch her breath, she talked about looking for all kinds of food in the woods in order to fill her stomach. Duan Yu's face was filled with fascination.

"That must be fun."

Zhang Xiaohua curled her lips, she is really a rich kid who treats suffering as a joke!
"Okay, you lie down here, I'll go down and set a trap, if I'm lucky, I might have something to eat tomorrow."

"Trap? Do you want to hunt?" Duan Yu cheered up, "I'll go too!"

Zhang Xiaohua didn't stop her, she got down from the tree, and followed Zhang Daniu's example to look for a trap nearby.

Seeing her serious appearance, Duan Yu was looking forward to it, and finally Zhang Xiaohua spotted a place, where she dug a hole with wooden sticks.

It had just rained and the ground was soft and easy to dig, but even so, they were exhausted after digging a pit that was [-] to [-] centimeters long, [-] to [-] centimeters square, and [-] to [-] centimeters deep.

After digging, Zhang Xiaohua cut some long and short wooden sticks with a small knife and inserted them inside, spread some branches and grass on it, and sprinkled some soil.

"Is this enough?" Duan Yu squatted there to look, "Will the prey fall in?"

"That depends on luck." Zhang Xiaohua took a breath, "But just to be on the safe side, we have to get another one."

"Do what?"

"You'll know when it's over."

Zhang Xiaohua cut off some branches and weaved them, while Duan Yu squatted beside him and handed the branches to her. After a while, a fish basket with branches with a small mouth and a big belly took shape.

The weaving is extremely rough and a little loose, but Zhang Xiaohua still has a sense of accomplishment. You must know that I have learned from Zhang Daniu through the past few months, and I didn't even dare to think about it before.

After finishing weaving, I patched it with branches, then weaved straw ropes, tied them to the fish basket, and went to the river happily.

When I got to the river, I chose a place, got some stones, fixed the fish basket horizontally in the water, buried a tree stump by the river, and tied it with straw ropes, so that I don’t have to worry about the current washing away the fish basket.

After doing all this, Zhang Xiaohua wondered if there were any loopholes, and asked Duan Yu to help her think about it.

Duan Yu had never done this before, so he squatted there looking at it for a long time, and asked suspiciously.

"Can fish really go in?"

"It depends on luck." Zhang Xiaohua didn't want to talk too much.

Duan Yu looked into the water and said again for a long time.

"But why didn't I see a single fish?"

"Does the fish dare to come over when they see you standing there?"

Zhang Xiaohua thought about it, there was nothing to prepare, and seeing that it was getting dark, she called Duan Yu to go back to sleep.
