The two sat in the cabin early in the morning, finishing their handiwork.

After Li Yingjie took off a large ball of cotton seeds, he placed it in front of Lin Xiaoying.

"You take a rest first, I'll wash these cloths and put them outside to dry before using them."

With that said, he took the inner liner that he tore off from the jacket and went to the stream.

Wash it several times with clean water, and then put it on the open space to dry.

Then, Li Yingjie went out to pick some mushrooms, cleaned them, and stewed a can of mushroom soup with the wild onions picked last time.

After the two finished eating, Li Yingjie said:

"You take a good rest here first, I'll go dig some clay, and we'll make a big clay pot!"

As he spoke, he carried the largest thorn basket they had woven on his back.

Lin Xiaoying said helplessly: "I don't need to rest, I haven't come today, it should be tomorrow or the day after tomorrow!"

As she spoke, she also carried the basket on her back.

From the beginning, Lin Xiaoying was not prepared to completely rely on other people's care, she has been working very hard.

However, Li Yingjie reached out to stop her, and said with a smile:
"You wait here first, I'll run over quickly, after digging the clay, there will be plenty of work for you."

Hearing this, Lin Xiaoying nodded.

Li Yingjie carried the basket on his back, tied the door of the cabin firmly, and told Lin Xiaoying several times:
"Try not to come out. If you have to come out, you must close the door!"

I don't know if there are other dangers around, but if it is a wild beast, this cabin is definitely enough to resist danger.

After Li Yingjie left the cabin, he trotted all the way towards the river to the west.

If they walked quickly, it would take more than half an hour from the cabin to the river along the road they had walked several times before.

However, Li Yingjie trotted all the way, and it only took more than ten minutes to reach the river.

He put the basket on the ground, took off his shoes, rolled up his trousers, and went down to the river to dig the surrounding clay.

The river in this section was not very deep. Li Yingjie stepped on the riverside, and the water only reached his calf.

He was digging in the clay when suddenly he felt something touch his ankle.

The river water was not clear, and he could only see a depth of about ten centimeters. For a while, Li Yingjie couldn't see what touched him.

"It can't be a leech!"

Li Yingjie was startled, and hurried out of the water.

He had never seen a leech here before, so he was completely unprepared when he came this time.

However, this thing didn't hurt at all when it sucked blood, so Li Yingjie walked out of the water anxiously, looking down at his ankle.

After careful observation, it was found that it was not, and there was no wound on the leg.

"Could it be a fish in the water?" Li Yingjie became less nervous when he found out that it wasn't a leech.

He also thought that a fish might have passed by just now and touched his ankle.

However, the water is not too clear, and it is impossible to see what is under the water.

Li Yingjie stood by the river and observed carefully for a while.

After a while, it really made him find the fish.

Above the surface of the water, a fish exposed half of its body, and then dived below.

Because the fish just shook for a while, Li Yingjie didn't see clearly what kind it was.

"Tut!" Li Yingjie clicked his tongue.

When I passed this river before, I didn't find fish in it, and of course, I didn't look for it seriously before.

If there are a lot of fish in this river, there will probably be fish to eat in the next few days.

Li Yingjie looked around, and his eyes were fixed on the wattle basket he brought. The wattle basket was still empty before the dug up clay had been put in.

Such a big basket, made of Vitex, is absolutely suitable for fishing.

Li Yingjie went down to the river and fished the big basket into the water. When he picked it up, he heard a pattering sound.

Looking down, I fished it casually, and actually fished out two fish.

The two fish were blue-gray, more than 20 centimeters long, and weighed about two kilograms. After being fished out of the water, they kept flopping about in the basket.

"Is this trout?"

Li Yingjie took a look and searched his memory, and immediately felt that these two fish were very similar to trout.

Trout is not a very common fish, in fact, when people fish and eat fish, the most common fish are the so-called four major fish.

They are herring, grass carp, silver carp and bighead carp.

Others such as carp, catfish, and crucian carp are also more common.

Trout is not very common.

Of course, what surprised Li Yingjie the most was not the type of fish, but that he picked up the basket and fished it down casually, and found two fish!

Li Yingjie was a little shocked.

Could it be that the bottom of this river is full of fish?

He put the basket on the bank, then hurriedly dug a hole on the bank, brought in some water from the river, and put the fish in the basket into it.

Put it in a puddle, and the fish will not die for a while.

Li Yingjie went down into the water again with the basket, and fished again.

Lift it up and take a look, and this time, three of them were caught!
All three fish are about twenty centimeters long.

Immediately, Li Yingjie was sure that there would be plenty of fish in the river.

He dumped the three fish into the pit again, and then walked a few steps toward the middle of the river by himself.

The river water was probably near his stomach, and at this moment, Li Yingjie felt that the bottom of the river where his calf was down was densely packed with fish.

Of course, it's an exaggeration to say that it's densely packed, but he can meet several fish if he walks a few steps casually.

Li Yingjie couldn't help but ze (ze) his tongue.

"I really didn't find out before that there are so many fish here!"

More than 100 meters away from where he dug the clay, the depth of the river there was less than half a meter. When Li Yingjie came here for the first time, he put several big stones there.

When they went to the bamboo forest before, they didn't cross the river by wading, but by stepping on stones.

If they had walked through the water before, they might have found the fish at the bottom of the river long ago.

However, Li Yingjie didn't feel regretful, and it was also a surprise to find out now.

After thinking about it, he continued to dig the clay.

Since there are so many fish here, you can dig a pit next to the stream after you go back and raise these fish there.

As for today, I will bring back two of them first, enough to eat!

Soon, more than half of the basket was filled with clay.

The basket carried this time was very large, and most of the basket weighed nearly 150 kilograms of clay.

On the way back this time, I was designated to run no longer.

With Li Yingjie's strength, he could run with so many things on his back, but he was too tired.

He found a twig, caught two fish from the pit, threaded it together, held it in his hand, then picked up the twig basket on his back, and walked back unhurriedly.

Hey, big harvest!
