The casual life of the flat space

After finishing all this, he handed the thread to Bai Tiexiong, told him what to do next, and watched him hide in the kitchen door.

Bai Tieying turned around and walked to the door of the house, chopped up all the earthworms with a knife on the stepping stone, and divided them into two parts. The smaller part was sprinkled under the wicker basket, and the larger part was placed in a pottery jar, which she would take with her to fish.

"I'm going to get some food. You take care of the house and don't go out."

Bai Tiexiong was staring at the wicker basket at this moment. He didn't answer, but just nodded.

Bai Tieying found this funny, as it was a bit like "I'm afraid the fish will be frightened and won't respond".

The Bai family is the last family in the village. Although the population is not prosperous, there is a river not far from their home, and there are mountains not far after crossing the river. Therefore, their ancestors have relied on this Feng Shui treasure land for so many years and have never suffered any major losses.

It’s just that the farmers who work hard in the fields believe that digging for food in the soil is the right thing to do, and these “evil ways” are just childish tricks.

Besides, you have to put your energy into the fields to get a good harvest, and doing these time-consuming things that may not necessarily yield anything is not doing your job properly. Without the help of the adults, the two sisters had little experience, and naturally did not think of such means in the past two months.

In fact, any villager who met them would occasionally help them, but they couldn't give more. After all, their family still owed money, and not asking for repayment was a sign of their simple character.

Arriving under the willow tree by the river, Bai Tieying took off her shoes and socks, rolled up her trouser legs, and went down to the river to pile up stones. There wasn't much "bait", so she had to use it sparingly, so she could only make a small nest. After she had built a circular nest with a gap, she sprinkled the "bait" in, and the rest could only be left to time.

After putting the pottery jar firmly in place, Bai Tieying planned to go dig some wild vegetables. Although they were really not tasty and every cell in his body was resisting, it was free and he could still have a full meal. Catching birds and fishing had uncertainties, and it might be in vain.

Since he had taken off his shoes anyway, Bai Tieying simply waded into the river and walked upstream along the river bank. The terrain there was high and there were stones piled up by the villagers, so he could cross to the other side of the river.

"My racial talent, awaken!"

After crossing the river, Bai Tieying prayed a little and started digging wild vegetables. Before he knew it, he had dug to the foot of the mountain and saw red.

Bai Tieying hurried over and saw that it was indeed a tray! She quickly put down the wild vegetables in her lapel pocket and ate them while picking them, thinking of thanking Mr. Zhou!

I had just "borrowed" someone's secret method of catching birds, and now I'm lucky enough to find raspberries, or the tray. But I feel a little embarrassed about the racial talent of taking advantage of someone in a textbook!

After eating dozens of pills, his stomach, which had been protesting from time to time since he woke up, finally calmed down. So Bai Tieying hummed "Today we ordinary people are really happy" while she took all the "wool" she could.

I was thinking to myself, "I may not be able to catch it next time. Should I go further inside today while my talent is at work?" But when I looked up at the sky, I thought, forget it. It's more important to cherish the "fish" in front of me!

She put the wild vegetables that she had thrown on the ground on the tray and waded back through the river. Thanks to her eyes that had never been awakened by a lamp, she could see fish in the nest a few meters away.

I walked over quietly, picked up the stone that I had prepared aside and blocked the gap. A big stone in my heart fell to the ground - tonight's dinner was finally settled!

Although Bai Tieying was so confident in front of Little Potato, she was actually not sure at all. She had a lot of theories, but none of them were really put into practice. If the two sisters had not dug earth dragons before, these ideas would have been in vain if they could not arrange them!

"Let me put my arms around my waist for a while, I'm so awesome, wowhahahahaha..."

The fish in the nest could not escape from the "tiger's mouth", and today's "foraging" was settled. Bai Tieying imitated the tone of Shin-chan in the cartoon, put his hands on his waist, looked up at the sky, and laughed weirdly.

After laughing for a while, he suddenly felt as if he had some serious illness, so he put down the tray and wild vegetables in his clothes pocket, washed the pottery jar with river water, filled half the jar with river water, and then picked up the fish one by one.

Along with Bai Tieying's triumphant return was a burst of strange and melodious singing. The tune spread far away, and when it reached the forest behind the pallet bushes at the foot of the mountain, it seemed to startle something. After another crisp sound of grass stems being stepped on, silence soon returned.

Before Bai Tieying entered the courtyard, she saw the looming figure of Bai Tiexiong through the wicker screen behind the door. But she was so excited that she shouted to Bai Tiexiong, "Tiexiong, I'm back!"

Bai Tiexiong was frightened and pulled the string in his hand towards himself involuntarily, causing his handle to fall down and the wicker basket to fall to the ground with a bang.

Bai Tiexiong didn't even look at his sister and ran towards the wicker basket.

Seeing that there were only five or six birds trapped inside, he could not help stamping his feet and shouting at Bai Tieying: "Why are you shouting? The birds have all been scared away! I finally waited until nine birds got in. If one more comes in, I will pull the string!"

But Bai Tieying didn't care about those small things at that time. Besides, it is much more difficult to pluck the feathers of a bird than to remove the scales of a fish.

Without even looking at Bai Tiexiong's angry and anxious face, he directly put the clay jar in front of him and said, "Look at this before you complain to me again."

Bai Tiexiong took a step back and looked into the pottery jar. This look was really mouth-watering! If he knew this idiom, he would definitely say so.

But he didn't know how to do that, so he just quickly sucked the saliva that was about to flow out and looked at his sister eagerly, which meant "What are you waiting for? Go and do it!"

Bai Tieying didn't bother with him and walked into the house with the pottery pot in her hand. She first dumped the wild vegetables and tray in her lapel onto the bed, and then put the pottery pot steadily on the ground. There was no dining table in the main room, so she could only put it here for now.

He shook his arms, which had already swollen, and rubbed his fingers, which were numb from being in a fixed position. He turned around and asked Bai Tiexiong who followed him in, "Can you cook?"

Bai Tiexiong's eyes widened when he heard this, as if to say, "Sister, do you know what you are talking about?"

If he knew how to cook, he wouldn't have to howl when he found his sister lying motionless in bed. At least he could boil some water for his sister to drink when she woke up!

Seeing this, Bai Tieying realized that she was too excited and asked a stupid question, but if not now, when would her sister show off?

So she bent down, picked up the clay pot and walked towards the kitchen. As she walked, she shook her head and said coolly, "I picked some trays. You eat first, and then come to help me with the work after you finish eating."

Upon hearing this, Bai Tiexiong looked towards the bed and suddenly became happy. He grabbed the food and stuffed it into his mouth. He didn't even have time to pick up the wild vegetable leaves mixed in. They were delicious too!
