Fishing and Hunting 82, Starting with Three Sisters Who Overprotect Their Brothers

The next day, Zhang Wenshan got up later than usual.

A sore and achy feeling spread throughout my body, and my muscles simply wouldn't obey me. Even though I was fully awake, I just didn't want to move.

He knew that this was his body telling him it needed rest after a long period of inactivity and sudden high-intensity work.

"Anyway, the fishing and hunting team is already on the right track, let them do whatever they want."

Zhang Wenshan thought about it and then made a decision.

The purpose of working is to improve our living environment and achieve the ultimate goal of lying down, unlike in my previous life when my body collapsed at a young age.

Let's dawdle for a while.

Zhang Wenshan rubbed his eyes and came out of the small house. He saw his mother busy in the outer room and couldn't help but feel a little strange.

"Didn't my eldest sister come?"

"I arrived early." Xu Xiulian placed the cornmeal porridge and pickled vegetable dumplings on the table. "Seeing that you weren't awake yet, and worried about the other side, I went over first."

"Great job!" Zhang Wenshan gave a thumbs up, picked up the bowl and slurped down his porridge, his eyes darting around.

After all this time and effort, and having prepared plenty of good food, it seems like my family and I haven't actually eaten it many times.

On ordinary days, they eat cornmeal, coarse cornmeal, and pickled vegetables.

We need to prepare something delicious.

"Mother, I'm leaving." Zhang Wenshan finished his bowl of porridge and walked out.

"Eat more, or you'll be out of pee in two days, and then we'll have to spend money in town again," Xu Xiulian couldn't help but advise.

My son is great at making money, but he's also incredibly extravagant with his spending.

A bowl of noodles for 35 cents? I bought it without thinking! That's outrageous!

"I can't eat anything right after I woke up."

Zhang Wenshan threw down a sentence and hurriedly ran away.

When he arrived at Ge Ergui's house, everyone was already there. As soon as they saw him come in, they all stood up to greet him.

"Team leader."

"Hello, team leader."

Everyone's voice was respectful, especially the four newcomers, whose voices trembled slightly as they spoke.

They just checked; last night they managed to get over 100 kilograms of snails, shrimp, and crabs that are still alive.

The storage problem that had plagued everyone for years was thus easily solved.

That's incredible.

"We'll collect the traps again this morning, scoop out some snails, and sort them out," Zhang Wenshan said carefully, "We're a bit short on time..."

He habitually makes empty promises to encourage others.

Everyone had already picked up their tools, their faces full of excitement, showing no reluctance whatsoever, only a strong desire for money.

There is absolutely no need for mobilization.

"Team leader, is this even considered work?"

"If I could make that much money, I could stay in the water every day."

"Farming is really tiring. We get up earlier than the chickens and go to bed later than the dogs every day, just to barely fill our stomachs. Now that we can make money from it, we work ourselves to the bone."

Seeing everyone's genuine smiles, Zhang Wenshan didn't act coy.

Looking at the genuine smiles on their faces, Zhang Wenshan didn't hesitate: "Sister Cuihua will lead one team, Uncle Ergui will lead another team... Qiuping and Sister Da will come with me."

At a command, the fishing and hunting teams split up and set off.

Soon, Zhang Wenshan and his two companions arrived at the abandoned educated youth settlement.

Dewdrops clung to the withered grass, and the air was filled with the fragrance of earth.

"Apply this." Zhang Wenshan took out snake repellent and handed it to the two people.

"No way!" Zhang Fengxia refused. "Maybe I can catch a couple of snakes while I'm at it."

Lang Qiuping also looked expectant.

"The temperature dropped yesterday evening, and the snakes had already gone into hiding and regained their activity." Zhang Wenshan's expression immediately turned serious, and he said in an unquestionable tone, "If you're unlucky, one bite can be fatal. Think about your families."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Fengxia and Lang Qiuping turned pale and hurriedly applied the snake repellent.

The three of them followed their memories and found the location where the trap was set.

Before we even got close, we saw several grayish-yellow shadows lying motionless on the ground, barely visible unless you looked closely.

"Team leader, you're amazing!"

Lang Qiuping's eyes widened in surprise; out of eight spots, there were four rabbits.

I grew up in a village.

Who hasn't tried to catch fish and shrimp by touching things? Most of the time, it's fruitless, and the occasional catch is just enough to treat yourself.

Zhang Wenshan's moves are always successful, and the quantities are always large.

"Keep an eye out for snakes," Zhang Wenshan gestured for him to calm down.

Whether serum exists in this era is unknown, but it's probably not available in most towns. The opportunity was too good to miss before, so it's best to be careful now.

Upon reaching the first snare, Zhang Wenshan decisively bent down, grabbed the rabbit by the neck, and exerted force with both hands.

Click!

The hare died on the spot. He picked it up and weighed it in his hand, feeling somewhat disappointed.

It was smaller than I had imagined, weighing only about two and a half pounds. I guess it had lost weight due to hunger during the continuous high temperatures. I put the rabbit in the basket and went to the second location.

"Qiuping, come here."

"it is good."

Without a word, Lang Qiuping followed Zhang Wenshan's example and sent the rabbit to its death without hesitation, then carefully untied the snare.

"I'll do this one." When they arrived at the third location, Zhang Wenhui couldn't help but step forward.

"Can you bring yourself to do it?" Zhang Wenshan asked.

"Snap?" Zhang Wenhui turned her head and asked, "If it's edible and can be sold, why can't you do it?"

Before long, four wild rabbits were caught, the smallest weighing a little over two pounds and the largest weighing only three and a half pounds.

Lang Qiuping carefully put away the condom, stood up straight, head drooping, and apologized with a face full of remorse.

"I'm sorry, team leader, it was my fault for not doing it right."

The remaining snares also showed signs of rabbit activity, and in one spot the wire had even come loose, with the rabbit and wire vanishing without a trace.

That's several dollars!

The team leader clearly taught me the method, which guarantees 100% success in catching rabbits. Why didn't I pay more attention yesterday?

"It's inevitable that some mistakes will happen when you're just starting out."

Zhang Wenshan's mind had already wandered over the rabbit several times, and he didn't pay any attention to it at all.

"Sis, take the snake and the rabbit and wait at the fork in the road ahead..."

Zhang Fengxia immediately realized what was going on and hesitated, saying, "The news of us catching snakes has already spread; it can't be kept from the newcomers, can it?"

"It's fine as long as we don't meet in person." Zhang Wenshan shrugged.

That pile of snakes was no small number; it was enough to make anyone envious.

Even if the new members of the fishing and hunting team are afraid to use explosives, there's no guarantee that no one will instigate them to just come and go quickly, leaving them unaware of the details.

There's nothing we can do about it.

Any little thing that happens in the village will spread immediately. If you do everything secretly and avoid people, it will arouse suspicion. In less than two days, all sorts of rumors will be circulating.

Some busybodies will even secretly keep an eye on things.

Zhang Wenshan wouldn't care if he could just leave, but unfortunately, he had to stay for a while because of the mess left by the original owner of the body, and he also needed to maintain a good reputation.

Finding the right balance is an art.

Rent a carriage again.

Ge Ergui raised his whip and slowly left the village amidst the expectant gazes of the crowd.

Not far along, Lin Cuihua in the car spotted Zhang Fengxia waiting by the roadside, and something vaguely visible in the basket at her feet.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she was about to open her mouth.

Then they saw Zhang Wenshan carrying a fish basket, heading straight up the mountain.

Lin Cuihua glanced at the silent Ge Ergui, and wisely shut her mouth, suppressing all her questions.

The pile of stuff in the car was already quite eye-catching.

Why bother with all that!
