Chapter 17 is a good harvest

Xia Weiwei didn't know that the slight heat emitted by the pile of cooked lotus roots would be caught by Qingmei, and Qingmei didn't know that her discovery was not something Xia Weiwei's unintentional act was not intended.

So much so that one fell asleep without any sense of consciousness, while the other was patient and fumbled to find the source of warmth without asking questions, and then tossed and turned to find out that the baked food had the effect of warming the tent.

"Qingmei·Mum?" Xia Weiwei's voice was hoarse and glutinous.

I insisted on affirming the temperature I felt in the first half of the night. It was impossible for Qingmei, who was hallucinating, to lower her head when she heard the sound, and saw the child looking up at him with a worried face.

Her mind was floating and staring at the child for a while, she whispered: "Aque, we will go to the tent next door to squeeze in with your Aoki Dad and the others tonight."

squeeze?

What to squeeze?

Question marks popped up in his eyes, and a series of scenes of squeezing tents in the severe winter flashed through his mind. Suddenly, Xia Weiwei became smart.

She didn't want to squeeze in tents with people at all, and she didn't want to squeeze in now.

"My Qingmei, I don't feel cold yet."

Qingmei looked at the child: "·····"

In the second month of winter, it is indeed not too cold.

But if she didn't feel cold, then her behavior of baking food to keep warm was to tell herself that she didn't want to be in the same tent with herself.

Qingmei, who didn't know that she was putting the cart before the horse, stared at Xia Weiwei with complicated eyes for a long time, so long that Xia Weiwei felt inexplicable.

"Chingmei Ma?"

Qingmei: "·····"

She tried to open her mouth several times, wanting to say not to waste lotus roots, wanting to say Aque, you have to believe us, but when she opened her mouth several times, the sound of rolling to her throat could not be vomited.

This child has been disappointed with them since he made such a decision. How could she say that she should not waste it so much and believe what we say?

"Do you want to collect grass stems today?" Qingmei asked.

No matter how you look at it, I don’t think that Qingmei’s mother is just curious about Xia Weiwei who was in her event today: “······”

Qingmei pulled open the corners of her mouth and looked very calm.

Looking at each other, Qingmei smiled far-fetchedly, and Xia Weiwei, after staring at Qingmei for a moment, she said, "I will go to the waterside to see the traps and fish baskets later. I will be by the waterside in the next time."

If fish can be caught in the trap fish basket, she will have to dig more traps and make more fish baskets today.

If she can't catch it, she has to find a way to get the fishing net, and even more so how to salvage the letter.

So, today she not only has no time to collect grass stems, but also has to waste it by the water.

"Train, fish basket?" First, there were two words inexplicable, and then Qingmei was worried: "You really don't have to worry about the fish."

I really didn't want to look at the woman with guilt and self-blame look, Xia gently pushed her and hugged her tightly and wanted to sit up.

"It's early, your Aoki Dad didn't get up." Before letting go, Qingmei pressed the child's head into her arms, indicating that she could still sleep for a while.

The tip of her nose rubbed against the tightly wrapped animal skin of Qingmei, and Xia, who smelled the faint smell of sweat on her body, was very awkward.

She didn't move, but she said calmly: "I can't sleep anymore."

Qingmei, who patted the child's shoulder, paused leisurely, closed her eyes and tried to force herself to sniff for a while, finally let go and stood up.

After sorting out the animal skin, Xia Weiwei picked up the animal skin bag placed at the head of the bed, poured the salt rock block inside into the hay-covered bucket pot, and then picked up the shorter ones from the two long stone knives and the stone axe.

Putting the stone knife and axe into the animal skin bag and carrying it, she turned around and picked up a pack of already cold lotus roots, and smiled at Qingmei, who was quietly watching her series of actions, "My Qingmei, don't tell anyone about these things first, I'm explaining to you after turning back. And these cooked lotus roots, you see, I've been fine all night, it should be fine. If you are not afraid, take some out to eat later. I baked a lot last night, so I'll count your portion today."

The area in the tent was so large that she could not say to Qingmei that you should not touch the pile of dead grass. But after learning from the past, she was anxious to use the pot, so the words were naturally spoken out.

But she didn't know that she seemed to be explaining to someone, and her emphasis was sharp, making Qingmei's face suddenly change.

Only if you don’t believe her will you specifically tell her not to talk about things in her tent. Only if you are afraid that she will not believe her will use yourself as an example to tell her that the roasted lotus roots are fine. Even if you are worried that they will not accept it, you will give the right to choose.

"Qingmei·Mum?" Xia Weiwei was slightly depressed.

What's wrong with this?

It was far-fetched, Qingmei, who saw the child's doubts that surged up at the moment, smiled: "My mother doesn't want you to be tired, so she turned around and asked you, Prince Heishi to dig back the lotus root we ate for you."

Opening his mouth, Xia Weiwei wanted to say no, and she also wanted to ask what happened to you, Qingmei Mom.

Finally, Xia nodded slightly and left in the increasingly difficult smile of Qingmei's mother.

Thinking in my mind, only fish could make the Qingmu family less blame themselves. Xia Weiwei rushed to the water without hesitation. After reaching the water, she put down her animal skin bag and lotus root and went to pull the fish basket.

In Xia Weiwei's opinion, the explosive pot and the explosive bucket are just intentional actions by the person who wants the result. Therefore, when placing and digging the trap, she expects good results, but she does not blindly think that there will be good results.

So, when the fish basket that was soaked in water all night was so heavy that she almost used her strength to feed her, the first thing she thought was not the burst basket, but the fish basket had too strong water absorption. The second idea was to check it carefully to see if all branches had the same water absorption ability.

If all branches have similar water absorption abilities, it will be a job to pick up fish in the future. If not, she would have to pick up branches when she would prepare later so that the fish baskets she would not be so heavy.

"Pu, click, click..."

When a series of objects hit the water, Xia Weiwei, who was dragging the straw rope like a boatman, stopped slightly.

···How can she break it if she is a little afraid to look back?!

The sound is so dense, as if there are many fish.

Xia Weiwei, who was worried that she had a problem with her ear, finally turned around. After just one glance, she saw the black silver figure flashing in the fish basket, and a smile spread out on her face.

After dropping the wet straw rope, Xia Weiwei quickly ran to the water shore, and then dragged the fish basket to the shore.

The fish that were out of the water tumbling was even more cheerful, and the spreading fishy smell was accompanied by the splash of water.

She didn't rush to open the fish basket, nor did she rush to count the number. She dragged out the other two fish baskets one after another, and then crawled on the side of the trap and pressed the water plants covering the surface of the trap with her hands.

As the aquatic plants fell into it, Xia Weiwei felt the turmoil under the water, and immediately, she let go and run back.

Her traps and fish baskets are useful. They caught fish, so the Aoki family no longer had to worry about her.
