A professor's rebirth: I entered Tsinghua University in 1977.

Ai Xiaoyu didn't object either.

She also felt a little bored during this period, staying in her little room reading books every day. After a long time, even the best student would get tired.

It really makes people happy to go out and "play" with Liu Hongyi.

What does it matter if we can’t catch pheasants and turtledoves?

It’s nice to just treat it as an outing.

Yangou Farm is located in a remote area, surrounded by high mountains, dense forests, and numerous rivers and streams.

To reach the location Liu Hongyi mentioned, they had to wade through three small rivers. Seeing that they had reached the river, Ai Xiaoyu bent down and began to take off her shoes. Liu Hongyi handed her the bird net and bait and said, "You haven't fully recovered yet, so don't go into the cold water. I'll carry you across."

Ai Xiaoyu's pretty face turned slightly red. She looked around and saw that it was quiet nearby and there was no one else around. She nodded slightly and said "hmm".

Liu Hongyi then walked in front of Ai Xiaoyu, bent his knees slightly, and put his hands behind his back.

"Come."

Ai Xiaoyu bit her lip and lay obediently on his back.

It was almost June and Liu Hongyi was wearing less clothes. Through the thin fabric, he could feel the softness on his back.

"Don't let your imagination run wild. She's only sixteen years old. You can't act like a beast..."

Liu Hongyi hurriedly warned himself in his heart.

In fact, he was only sixteen years old, the same age as Ai Xiaoyu, only a little older than Ai Xiaoyu.

However, as a reborn person, Liu Hongyi, like all other reborn people, has "cognitive impairment" about his real age and needs to think in his head to realize his apparent age.

In Ai Xiaoyu's eyes, he is definitely a "little brother"!

But it’s not Uncle Liu…

Professor Hongyi chanted the Buddha's name in his heart and carried Ai Xiaoyu across the river.

It feels like this girl may not even weigh 80 kilograms.

Light as a feather...

After a "long journey" of about four or five miles, crossing the last small ditch, we finally arrived at the edge of the dense forest.

According to the knowledge in Liu Hongyi's mind, pheasants and turtledoves live in bushes or deep grass at the edge of the woods and are very vigilant.

"Just here."

Liu Hongyi chose a place, set up two bird nets, and then sprinkled some bait into the nets.

Suddenly a fragrance came to my nose.

"It smells so good..."

Ai Xiaoyu couldn't help but say.

Liu Hongyi smiled and said, "Catching birds mainly requires fragrant bait, just like fishing."

In his previous life, Liu Hongyi had never caught a bird, but he loved fishing and was considered an expert. To be successful fishing, setting a nest and preparing bait were crucial. Both were designed to attract fish quickly.

These baits were specially made by him. He used fried corn kernels, soybeans, and sesame seeds, and added a little white wine.

The main feature is a fragrant aroma.

It is extremely attractive to omnivorous birds such as pheasants and turtledoves.

Moreover, the bird net is hidden in the grass, and the traces of the trap are not very obvious, which can have a certain confusing effect.

"Let's go hide over there and don't let the pheasants and turtledoves know there's someone nearby. These two birds are very alert. If they sense danger, they won't come over."

As he spoke, he naturally took Ai Xiaoyu's hand.

Ai Xiaoyu's pretty face flushed again, but she didn't struggle. She obediently let him hold her hand and walked towards a large rock not far away, saying, "You know so much..."

To be honest, Liu Hongyi really completely overturned Ai Xiaoyu's definition of good students and bad students.

Ai Xiaoyu believed that a good student should be like her, oblivious to the world outside and absorbed in studying the sages' books. Only poor students would be lazy and do shady things all day long.

Unexpectedly, Liu Hongyi was also proficient in these "skills". The key was that his academic performance was particularly good, and he always ranked among the top three in the grade in exams.

Well, Liu Hongyi is a genius and has gone beyond Ai Xiaoyu's judgment of good and bad students.

The two men came behind the stone and sat down side by side.

"Hide well, don't let the pheasants find us."

Liu Hongyi warned.

Ai Xiaoyu then leaned towards him and stayed close to him.

The girl's subtle fragrance drifted into Liu Hongyi's nose, causing his heart rate to inexplicably accelerate.

This time, chanting Buddhist mantras and cursing himself as a "beast" in his heart were no longer effective. Helpless, Liu Hongyi could only silently recite the famous saying of Confucius: "Food and sex are human nature!"

Buddha, Mencius, your words are not as effective as Gaozi's...

It was Ai Xiaoyu's first time catching a bird, and she couldn't contain her curiosity and excitement. She wanted to turn her head to take a look from time to time, but Liu Hongyi stopped her in time every time and whispered in her ear, "Don't be anxious, be calm, and listen..."

Well, the fine hair on Ai Xiaoyu's ears is so cute.

This wait lasted almost half an hour.

Suddenly, there was a soft "click" of a spring, followed by the panicked "cooing" of a bird. Ai Xiaoyu jumped up excitedly and shouted, "I caught it..."

Liu Hongyi also jumped up.

The two of them ran over in a hurry, and sure enough, they saw a golden pheasant struggling hard in a bird net.

But the bird net designed by Liu Hongyi was very clever. The bird was completely caught in the wire mesh and no matter how it struggled, it was useless.

"Oh, so big, so beautiful..."

Ai Xiaoyu clapped her hands and cheered with joy, and hurried over to untie the wire mesh.

"Hey, don't move, I'll do it!"

Liu Hongyi hurriedly stopped her.

This girl is not good at work and is clumsy. She must not let the pheasant escape.

Liu Hongyi stepped forward, carefully opened the wire mesh, and caught the pheasant.

"Wow, it must weigh at least two kilograms."

This is an adult male pheasant with colorful feathers, and it feels heavy in the hand.

Liu Hongyi tied up the pheasant's legs and wings with the prepared cloth strips, and then handed it to Ai Xiaoyu with confidence. Then he moved the bird net to another place and spread the bait again.

"Liu Hongyi, you are so amazing..."

Ai Xiaoyu was holding a pheasant and laughing happily.

"That is!"

Liu Hongyi deliberately puffed out his chest and laughed as well.

This bird-hunting trip was unexpected for Liu Hongyi himself, who ended up catching two pheasants, two turtledoves, and a clutch of eight pheasant eggs.

There were two pheasants, one male and one female. The male weighed over two kilograms, while the female was slightly lighter, but still nearly two kilograms. In comparison, the two turtledoves were much smaller, weighing only three or four taels.

But no matter how small it is, it is still meat.

In this era of extreme material scarcity, this is a rare delicacy and nutritious product.

On the way back, Ai Xiaoyu changed her usual behavior and kept chattering with Liu Hongyi, appearing extremely excited.
