How to Save a Failed Farm

Ye Qun watched his movements and immediately knew what he was going to do. He asked suspiciously, "Can you catch fish like this?"

Lance put a little bread crumbs in the bottle, looked up and said honestly, "I don't know, I'm just trying, in case I get lucky?"

Ye Qun: "..." Your movements are so proficient that I thought you were really sure.

Ye Qun also pried open a can, made a mark on it, and imitated Lance to tie a cotton thread on the bottle.The sun had sunk to the far west, and the last ray of light fell on the sparkling water, dyeing the stream a warm orange.They took off their shoes and socks and prepared to go into the water with their respective canning jars.

The cold stream stimulated Ye Qun to show his teeth, and he frowned, waiting for the discomfort to pass.The water was very shallow, just up to the calf. They moved two stones in the middle of the stream and pressed the end of the thread under it.

"Be careful." Lance bent over to check and reminded, "The bottom of the water is a bit slippery."

A halo of light gold fell in his eyes, turning the irises into amber, and the long, curly eyelashes were coated with a shimmering light, like a piece of melted honey.Ye Qun shook his head, and was about to stand up, when the rock he was stepping on suddenly loosened, his feet slipped and he lost his center of gravity, before Lance could catch him, he fell into the stream involuntarily, There was a big splash of water.

"Cough, cough, cough," the icy stream flooded his whole body instantly, Ye Qun sat up in a jerk, wiped his face in a daze, Lance stepped on the water and quickly came over to help him up, and asked in a panic: "It's okay Did you hit your head?"

"Fortunately, it's just——Ah!" Ye Qun's lips were purple from the cold, and he said shiveringly, "It's so cold."

Lance simply picked him up by the waist and took a few steps ashore. Ye Qun was in no mood to protest his princess hugging position at the moment. He was completely soaked, and his cold clothes stuck to his body. When the cold wind blew, he was stimulated Immediately, a large piece of goose bumps appeared on the skin.Ye Qun felt that he was going to freeze into a statue, and falling into the water in this weather was really not a pleasant thing.Lance quickly stripped him, dried him, wrapped him in a change of clothes, and went outside to quickly start the fire.

Ye Qun sat tremblingly by the fire, with wet hair hanging on his forehead, and a piece of Lance's clothes covering his body.He sneezed one after another, still shivering, his pale face reflected in the light of the fire, so Lance had to hug him and rub his arms up and down to help him warm up.

"I've already reminded you to be careful," Lance said worriedly and helplessly, "I really don't know how you fell."

It's not because of you!Ye Qun thought sadly and angrily in his heart.But he won't say it, or Lance will be so proud that his tail will go up to the sky.

After a while, Ye Qun was not so cold anymore.The sky had completely sunk, and the peaceful starlight shrouded the forest, reflecting silvery light on the surface of the stream.The space between the sky and the earth was empty and silent, except for the faint sound of the wind and the soft rustling of the trembling branches and leaves, there was no other sound.Leaning on Lance's shoulder, Ye Qun looked at the twinkling stars hanging in the night, and said weakly, "I'm hungry."

Lance hugged him tightly and felt that his body temperature had returned to normal, so he stood up: "I'll go see if there are any fish."

As soon as he left, Ye Qun immediately lost a major source of heat, so he had no choice but to sit closer to the fire.He is not particularly afraid of the cold, but the temperature on the mountain was lower than he had imagined, and the clothes he brought were not warm enough.

Lance came back soon with two canning jars, and he excitedly picked up one of them so that Ye Qun could see clearly under the firelight: "We can eat grilled fish at night!"

Ye Qun noticed that there was no mark on the bottle, and he couldn't help but pouted: "Why is there no fish in my bottle?"

Lance had a happy smirk on his face: "It's probably my luck."

"Do you know what we say in China?"

Lance asked curiously, "How?"

"Stupid people are blessed with stupidity." Ye Qun looked at him and said calmly.

Lance turned on the camping light, took out a knife, and began to sharpen one end of the branch. He slapped two fish about [-] centimeters long on the rocks to death, cut open their stomachs, took out their internal organs, and then strung them up. Roast over the fire.

The firewood pile was crackling and emitting sparks, and the smell of grilled fish soon came out. Ye Qun swallowed, and stared intently at the fish skin gradually turning golden.Lance unwrapped a bag of bacon and made broth, a humble dinner that was now as delicious as Christmas dinner.Ye Qun drank a bowl of steaming broth and finally felt relieved.

The grilled fish was delicious beyond his expectation. The skin of the fish was burnt and crispy, and the seasoning powder was wrapped in the fresh and tender fish meat.

"The craftsmanship is good, brother." Ye Qun gnawed the grilled fish until only the bones remained, and wiped his mouth contentedly.

"Tomorrow we can catch a few more during the day." Lance said gently, "Rainbow trout is the most delicious, but this method can only catch small fish, and big fish can only be fished in deeper water or spearfished. "

After nightfall, the temperature was even lower, and the wind picked up, blowing the flames to and fro, as if they were about to go out soon.Therefore, they entered the tent early, and the wind was howling outside, blowing the leaves with strange noises, and hitting the tent with a bang bang bang bang bang.

"Are you cold?" Lance noticed Ye Qun's purple lips with concern. He wrapped himself in a sleeping bag, only showing his eyes. "These two sleeping bags can be put together, I'm very warm." He suggested.

"I'm going to die of cold." Ye Qun said tremblingly, teeth chattering, "Aren't you really cold? You were Houyi in your previous life, right?"

"What?" Lance didn't understand, he got up, unzipped the zipper and combined the two sleeping bags together.His body was like a continuously burning furnace, Ye Qun tried her best to shrink into his arms.

Ye Qun said with certainty: "You are a monster." He glanced at his watch, "It's only 1 degree now!"

"I have never been afraid of the cold since I was a child." Lance smiled honestly, and covered his cold hand with warm and wide palms, "The body temperature is also higher than ordinary people."

"No wonder," Ye Qun said, "It must be very hot when you are by your side in summer."

"Please don't dislike me." Lance's expression was like a big dog worried about being abandoned by its owner, wagging its tail pitifully, "The air conditioner in the farm is very good."

Ye Qun was still cold, he instinctively wanted to get closer to the heat source, and tried to put his cold feet between Lance's bent legs.

Lance froze for a moment, then spread his legs slightly and let Ye Qun put his feet on his thighs.He hugged Ye Qun in his arms, warming him with the heat of his whole body.

After a while, Lance suddenly said, "Could you change your position?" His voice sounded awkward.

Ye Qun moved suspiciously, and immediately felt a hot spot in his buttocks.

"..." The young man is really full of energy.

They got up at five o'clock the next day, and carried manual hunting///guns and bullets into the woods like yesterday.

This time they were lucky. After walking for a long time, Lance found fresh hoofprints and gnawed branches on the ground.

"It's a deer." Lance concluded, observing the shape of the hoofprints on the dirt.

They followed the footprints for a while, but there were more and more fallen leaves and dead branches on the ground, and before long they could no longer see the only sign.

"Then now?" Ye Qun asked inquiringly, he had no experience at all.

"Find a place to hide, it's nearby, and we'll pass by again." Lance took out two binoculars from his satchel and whispered, "Let's go behind that tree."

For an entire hour, they remained almost stationary, and Ye Qun was very uncomfortable. He couldn't help but move a little, and the fallen leaves under his feet immediately made a clicking sound due to uneven force.

"Hold on," Lance whispered. "Deer have very keen senses. Their eyes are on the sides of their heads and they can see a lot."

Fortunately, it didn't take long before there was movement in the bushes, and as the rustling sound got closer, a stag with a graceful figure and majestic horns appeared in his scope.

Ye Qun was a little nervous, his palms were even sweating, and he rubbed the index finger on the trigger hesitantly.Looking at this beautiful creature, he felt untimely kindness in his heart.

"It's now, seize the moment." Lance reminded him in a very low volume in his ear.

Ye Qun took a deep breath, he was not indecisive, but his hand still trembled the moment he pulled the trigger.The bullet missed the whitetail's heart and missed its leg.It whimpered, dragging its stumped legs and struggling to escape into the woods.

Lance immediately stood up and wanted to catch up, but Ye Qun held his hand to stop him and said, "Forget it."

"No." Lance shook his head. "You've hit it. You have to go after it and shoot it. It's against the law to let an injured animal die in pain for a long time."

Ye Qun was silent for a moment. Indeed, the animal that was wounded by the gun had already lost its ability to survive, and it would be cruel to let it go back to the forest.Hunting is about killing the prey in the fastest way, and he shouldn't be soft-hearted just now.

They chased the white-tailed deer along the trail of blood. It was shot in the leg and moved slowly. They found it quickly.Ye Qun subconsciously looked at Lance, "Are you coming?" Lance looked at him encouragingly, gestured and whispered.

Ye Qun took another deep breath, aimed at the heart, raised his gun and quickly ended its life.

Lance went to check and confirmed that the buck was dead: "Good luck, it's a big guy." He raised a bright smile, "At least we won't return empty-handed."

This buck was above average in size and weighed three hundred pounds, so it was unrealistic to carry it back.Fortunately, it was not too far away from the camp. Lance used a dagger to chop off two branches as thick as an adult man's arm, and made a simple stretcher with the thick rope he carried with him, and transported the deer's body back to the camp.
