The whole family travels through time: escape from famine! No cheat codes yet!

This person got what he wanted and solved his worries. After eating and drinking, he wanted to sleep, especially Shen Youyou and the others who had not slept all night.

Shen Youyou, Dayajie and the other two went up to the bed early to catch up on some sleep. It was so comfortable to sleep here in this season. There was a breeze and it wasn't as hot as before.

Shen Zhiqiu yawned while assigning tasks to everyone. After all, there would be some personnel changes.

He said: "The strong laborers continue to cut the bark, the old man is responsible for collecting leaves, the girls go to weave straw ropes for straw hats, the women pick out a dozen people who are good at sewing to continue making socks, and the rest of them work with Jingshu to make rubber balls.

The sun is shining brightly now, so the rubber balls don't need to be baked. Just put them on the hay to dry. Go pick up cicada shells, catch cicadas and locusts. As for how to catch them, I'll teach you."

After saying that, Shen Zhiqiu picked up a few long sticks, tied them together with straw ropes, and made a long stick.

At the thinner end, he tied an oval loop made of bent bamboo strips.

Then he began to collect spider webs from the surroundings. At this time, the forest was full of various creatures and insects, as well as many spider webs.

He wrapped the spider web around the loop of the bamboo pole until it was full.

Finally, he showed it to the boys and said, "Do you understand? Each of you make a tool like this, and then take it to find cicadas. I guarantee you will always get it right."

Just as he was about to walk towards the wooden shelf, he thought of something and turned around and said:

"Just listen for the sounds, go where the cicadas are chirping happily, and when you find them, just hold the pole over there. In summer, you might scare the cicadas away, but now that autumn has passed, they won't run away even if you kick the tree hard. That's why we catch fewer cicadas when we light a fire and kick the trees at night. But they won't chirp so happily at this time, so you should keep an eye on them, under the leaves and on the branches."

After saying that, he yawned again, climbed onto the wooden shelf and went to sleep: But he really couldn't hold on any longer. Others still managed to sleep for a while yesterday, but they really didn't get any sleep the whole night!

Shen Zhiqiu looked at her daughter sleeping soundly and fell into a deep sleep as well.

There was naturally no problem for Dabao and his friends. They all grew up in the mountains behind the village. Climbing trees to catch birds and going to the river to fish were common things for them.

So it was easy for them to make tools to catch cicadas, and soon everyone had their own tools to catch cicadas.

There were more than thirty guys in this group, ranging in age from twelve to sixteen. Everyone was carrying a cicada stick, including Dahu and Erhu.

Erhu's eyes were sharp. He suddenly pointed at a tree and said, "Look, what my uncle said is right. I didn't hear any cicadas chirping on this tree, but there are several cicadas on it."

After saying that, he walked over carefully, raised the bamboo pole in his hand high, and quickly and accurately stuck a cicada on the pole.

The boy was very clever. He did not take down the cicada he had caught immediately, but continued to catch other cicadas with the pole. By the time he caught all the cicadas, he had successfully captured four.

Seeing this, Shen Erbao shouted excitedly: "Wow! This tool is so useful! I want to try it out as well."

These guys were young and strong, with sharp eyes, and it was a piece of cake for them to find cicadas on the trees. Some of them caught one, some caught two, and some even caught three, which was a great harvest.

Shen Mazi's dog Shengzi held the pole high and caught two more cicadas. He looked excited and said, "I think catching cicadas is more fun than fishing in the river. I caught a lot of cicadas. It's so exciting."

Jinzi, the eldest grandson of Grandpa Dalin, was also taking cicadas off the bamboo shoots: "That's because the fish in our village river have been scooped out over and over again, and there are simply not many fish left. If there were a lot of fish, I wouldn't believe you'd still say that."

Goushengzi chuckled, this was indeed the case.

Most of the time, when they were hungry, they would light a fire with branches and burn a few bunches of cicadas to eat. After eating, they would continue to catch more.

In the end, almost half of the bamboo baskets they carried out were filled. Each person caught at least four or five hundred cicadas. In order to prevent the cicadas from running away, they cut off their wings and covered them with hay.

When they saw the sun was about to set, they turned back.

When Shen Youyou woke up again, it was already the next morning, and she was woken up by hunger.

My stomach was rumbling, so I followed the smell and saw my aunt and uncle frying cicadas.

Li Jingshu no longer does this job because she wants to lead everyone to make rubber balls.

Aunt Shen Zhixia saw Shen Youyou coming over and greeted her with a smile: "Youyou, you're awake. You must be hungry. You didn't eat anything at night."

Shen Youyou chuckled: "The one who knows me best is my aunt."

Aunt Song held a bamboo bowl and said jokingly, "Okay! I just served you some cicadas. Since your aunt knows you, I'll take it back and ask your aunt to serve you some!"

After saying that, she turned around and was about to leave. Shen Youyou was not a real child, so of course she knew that her aunt was teasing her, but she also cooperated and quickly reached out to take the bamboo bowl, smiling ingratiatingly, "My aunt also knows me."

Mrs. Song looked at her niece's clever and eccentric appearance, smiled and tapped her forehead: "Eat it, where is your water hyacinth? I'll fill it with boiled water for you."

Shen Youyou quickly took off the big gourd from her body and handed it to her aunt. She pinched a cicada with her little hand and put it in her mouth, chewing it with a crunching sound.

Shen Zhichun walked back quickly, holding a basin of water, and took the bowl of cicadas from Shen Youyou's hand: "You haven't even washed your face yet, wash up first before eating. Didn't you say that you didn't pay attention to hygiene and got worms in your stomach?"

Shen Youyou washed up obediently before continuing to eat cicadas. While eating, she asked, "Where are my grandma and my mother?"

Shen Zhixia was bending over, putting dried cicadas into a bamboo basket, and answered without even looking up:

"Your eldest brother and his friends found a field of wild cotton when they went out to catch cicadas yesterday. The weather is getting colder, so your mother and grandmother went to pick the wild cotton."

When Shen Youyou heard this, a look of surprise appeared on her face, and she couldn't wait to ask, "Really? Where is the wild cotton? I want to go and see it too!"

Shen Zhixia hesitated and said, "It's a bit far from here. I'll take you there."

My little niece is smart, but she is only ten years old. What should I do if she gets lost in the mountains?

Shen Youyou saw that there were only a few people who were doing cicadas, and there were still many cicadas in the bamboo basket that had not been done: "Aunt, I can go by myself, just tell me which direction."

Shen Zhiqiu greeted his sister-in-law and wiped his hands: "That won't work. If you want to go, I'll take you there. Otherwise, wait for them to come back."

In the end, they had no choice but to ask their aunt to take them there. Actually, it wasn't far away, just over a thousand steps away from them, but this side was on the side of a mountain, a slope.

Seeing a vast expanse of white in the distance, Shen Youyou said to Shen Zhixia, "Aunt, you can go back now. You won't lose me this time."

Shen Zhixia hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement, but continued to remind him, "Okay, don't run around, go find your mother and the others directly!"

Shen Youyou nodded obediently, and after watching her aunt leave, she walked down the hillside. The slope was okay, not steep at all.

She trotted down all the way, as fast as a flash of lightning. However, when she got closer, she was dumbfounded - is this cotton? Don't bully her now because she is young, she has seen cotton before!

So, she ran and shouted, "Mom, milk!"
