Song, the pockmarked wife, the rich wife, the pockmarked wife's younger sister-in-law, the Douzi wife, and even Li Jingshu's younger sister-in-law, Yang, came.

They looked around for other cave entrances and blocked them with large rocks, leaving only two. Then Li Jingshu lit a fire at the first cave entrance.

The other women were holding hay in their hands, waiting to catch the fish at the other cave entrance.

There was nothing in this place except dry grass and leaves, so she just picked up a few handfuls of dry grass and brought some of the bamboo shoots they had peeled, which were wet and started smoking when burned.

She took out the fire starter made by her daughter, opened the lid and blew it. Small sparks flew everywhere, and then a small flame slowly burned.

Li Jingshu squatted down and lit the dry grass. When the fire gradually grew bigger, he gently put bamboo shoot shells on it.

The bamboo shoots are still wet when they are peeled off, and thick smoke will immediately billow when they are burned.

The thick green smoke made people's eyes sore and tears could not be stopped from flowing down.

Li Jingshu was immediately intoxicated by the green smoke. The taste was really amazing. He quickly stood up and stepped back a few steps, picked up the bamboo tube prepared beside him,

She closed her eyes and blew hard into the cave, almost suffocating herself. It was only when Da Hu returned from delivering a batch of bamboo shoots to the cave that he took over her job.

If Shen Zhiqiu saw this, he would be heartbroken. His wife's face looked like a little cat's, and her eyes were red from smoking.

The smoke was getting thicker and thicker, and the wind blew the thick green smoke into the bamboo rat hole.

The other women on the opposite side were also ready to take action at any time.

Thick smoke was blown into the cave, and the oxygen inside gradually became thinner. The bamboo rat could not bear it and naturally ran out.

They certainly wouldn't be stupid enough to run towards the firewood, so they could only run towards the side where there was no smoke.

It's just right that he can be caught by the people guarding at the other end of the cave. It's much easier than digging a hole.

So, hunting is not something that depends solely on brute force.

Sometimes, if you use your brain a little, you can capture prey more easily and maybe even catch more.

They didn't have to wait long before there was movement in the cave.

The bamboo rat that ran out wildly jumped out like a cannonball.

If they had not been prepared in advance, this nest of bamboo rats might have really run away.

There were three in total, one big and two small. It was a good harvest. The smallest one weighed at least four kilograms.

Li Jingshu looked at the bamboo rat's shiny fur and was pleasantly surprised: "It seems that bamboo rats are not just edible. Let's catch more and make fur socks for the kids. They will definitely be warmer than the wild cotton socks we have now."

Originally, Shen Youyou planned to make socks out of wolf skin and wear them with rain boots, which would protect against rain and snow and keep people warm. But later on, there were not enough wolf skins to make hats because there were too many people and not enough wolf skins. So they used wild cotton to make cotton socks, which was not as warm.

The skin of bamboo rats is naturally thick, and especially in this season, the fur is even finer and softer.

Everyone agreed with this proposal. For the sake of their own children, these women really don’t know how to write the word "tired".

With the first success, there will be a second time, not to mention the addition of the big tiger makes it even more powerful. They search the cave entrances one by one and catch bamboo rats one by one. The more they catch, the less tired they feel and the more excited they are.

Later, the other women stopped digging bamboo shoots for a while, and started catching bamboo rats in groups of three or five. It seemed like they were going to destroy the entire nest of bamboo rats in the forest.

But for the sake of ecological balance, Li Jingshu told everyone: Don't catch young or pregnant ones.

Although there are not many pregnancies in this season, it is still necessary to make it known in advance that every living thing has its own necessity for survival.

Even the bamboo rat of later generations is a precious wild animal!

They are not only of high nutritional value, but also of high medicinal value. The meat of bamboo rats is delicate and lean, low in fat and high in protein, and has the function of health care and beauty!

The fur, blood, teeth and oil of bamboo rats can all be used in the pharmaceutical industry, and their fur can also be made into high-end brushes and furs.

Bamboo rats are also beneficial to the ecology of bamboo forests. They gnaw on bamboo shoots and roots, which can control the density of bamboo forests and maintain ecological balance.

Their feces are also natural fertilizer that can nourish bamboo.

However, its excessive reproduction and activities will also have a negative impact on the ecological environment.

There are many bamboo rats in this bamboo forest, probably because there is an underground river. So catching the big ones and keeping the small ones will not damage the environment and can maintain the growth of the bamboo forest.

Although the family of three had traveled through time, they had been educated in modern environmental protection ideas for many years and still instinctively maintained the ecological balance of this land.

On the first day of cave construction, several groups of people, from children who could just walk to elderly people in their seventies, did not slack off. Some three or four-year-old children who did not know what was going on followed their older brothers and sisters to pick up branches.

When the groups returned to the cave, they all arrived at about the same time, because it was almost dark and they could no longer see the road clearly, so they were reluctant to go back.

When Shen Youyou came back, she saw the big pot at the entrance of the cave, the bamboo beds, the piles of adobe bricks, and the hill of bamboo shoots. The salt made by her grandparents was so full of life. Everyone worked so hard!

She was so excited that she started shouting from a distance: "Do you know what we found? Haha, we won't have to worry about running out of oil or the weather being too cold and the wild cotton not being enough to keep us warm."

As soon as these words came out, Shen Zhiqiu, who was praising his wife in various ways, paused and thought, "What did his daughter find? Why do they suddenly feel like they have everything they need?"

You know, it definitely takes more than a few baskets of food to make her daughter so excited. He quickly ran to pick up his daughter.

When Shen Zhiqiu ran away, the people who had not put down their things yet threw bamboo shoots, stones, and salt soil to the ground, and rushed towards Shen Youyou and the others. Just imagine, there were nearly two hundred people, a huge crowd.

The children cheered and jumped: "Sister Yo Yo is back, Sister Yo Yo is back!"

Because Sister Yoyo found sweet fruits for them, of course they were very popular.

The girls behind Shen Youyou now feel flattered. This is too enthusiastic.

However, when they ran forward and saw the palm fruits in the bamboo basket, they were a little disappointed, but not completely disappointed, because palm fruits meant they could find palm bark, which could be used to make raincoats.

But Shen Zhiqiu was not disappointed. He was so excited that he picked up his daughter and spun her around.

Shen Youyou was shocked. You know, people in ancient times didn't treat their daughter's father so warmly.

But Shen Zhiqiu didn't care what other people thought. He only knew that palm fruit could be roasted and eaten, and that the palm tree core could be eaten. The palm tree bark could also be used to make raincoats, mattresses, ropes, and even silk to make fishing nets.

He had seen fish in the underground river, but it was too deep and difficult for people to enter the water to catch fish. It was too dangerous!

If you don’t have the right tools for fishing, can’t you catch fish if you make a fishing net?

No wonder my daughter said that she didn’t have to worry about food. Although I didn’t see many fish due to the limited visibility, it was connected to an underground river, so there must be fish swimming over there.

He just sprinkles some bait every day and he doesn't believe that he can't catch big fat fish. He also uses palm oil, fries small fish, stews fish, and grills fish. He can do whatever he wants.
