Chapter 172 Chapter 172

Seeing something in the ice cave, everyone held their breath and waited for the long wind to pull up the fishing net to see what surprises were inside.

When he was about to pull out of the water, Changfeng accelerated the speed in his hand, and soon he pulled the net to the ice.

Seeing a few big fish jumping around in the net, Xiaoxi was about to jump up with joy. Unexpectedly, this method could really catch fish.

Yao and Ling also opened their incredible eyes, looking at the big fish jumping around in the net.

Only Chang Feng walked forward with a calm face, took the fish out of the net and put them into the basket he brought.

In fact, this net did not catch many fish, and there were only three big fish with the length of arms and two small fish that were bigger than the palm of your hand.

What surprised everyone was that they did not expect to catch fish in such a cold weather.

Since this method can catch fish, Xiaoxi took out another piece of animal meat as bait and threw it into the net cage. Changfeng put the net cage into the ice hole again and retreated to the side of Xiaoxi. The two stood together quietly. waiting.

Here, Yao and Ling looked at the fish that had just been caught, and they suddenly thought that they had heard from Xiaoya and Xiaohua that the female who had just given birth to her cubs drinking fish soup was good for both the female and the cubs.

It just so happened that Xiaoya had just given birth to her cub not long ago, and drinking fish soup at this moment was just good for her to replenish her body.

The two brothers Yao and Ling looked at each other, and they both understood the meaning in each other's eyes. Ling turned and ran towards the valley where his family lived.

Chang Feng and Xiao Xi knew what Ling was going to do when they saw Ling's movements.

So Xiaoxi stopped Ling, who had already run ashore, and told him to call out to several families living nearby that if anyone wanted to come to the big river to dig holes and fish, they should come together.

These people are all brought by her to stay here for the snow season. She hopes that every orc family here can have enough food and clothing during this snow season.

Ling agreed and ran away, Changfeng handed the animal skin rope to Xiaoxi, walked over to help Yao who was already digging ice, and scooped up the ice slag.

Yao was not surprised to see Changfeng coming to help. They all knew that although Changfeng usually didn't like to talk, and didn't get close to people casually, but in terms of life and work, he was always talkative.

They will not be like some orcs who think they are strong, so they will look down on or bully orcs who are weaker than themselves at will, which is why they are willing to follow.

He and Xiaoxi are smart and strong living with them, life will definitely be more convenient and safer.

In addition, the females in the house get along well with Xiaoxi, and if they want to be her neighbors, the males of course have to follow.

The two took turns digging ice holes, and a group of orcs came from a distance. Because everyone has nothing to do now, basically the males from every family came.

Xiaoxi was afraid that if they didn't understand, it would be dangerous if they all gathered together to dig ice holes, so he went over and told them to dig separately, because it would not be safe if the ice holes in the province were too close together.

When Qing Cang came back from playing around with the two cubs, he was surprised for a moment when he saw that Xiaoxi and the others really caught fish in such cold weather.

But he was relieved in an instant. With the method that Xiaoxi, a clever female, came up with, it was not so surprising to be able to catch fish.

Xiaoxi and the others only caught four or five fish in their second net. In this way, the orcs who came to fish saw hope, and they became more motivated when digging ice holes.

Anyway, there is nothing to do in the snow season, as long as you can catch fish, who would think that there are too few.

Xiao Fengyuan saw the big fish jumping up and down in the net, so he was happy to go up to catch it, but was stopped by the stream in time, "Don't catch it, the fish is covered with water, be careful of frostbite hands."

Chang Feng, who was standing beside the creek, gave her a resentful look with his light blue eyes, meaning that you are afraid that Xiao Fengyuan will frostbite his hands if he catches fish, so why not if I catch fish?

Xiaoxi glanced at Changfeng's hands, and it seemed that they were indeed a little red, so he was about to take off the gloves on his hands, but was stopped by Changfeng in a hurry, "Hurry up and put them on yourself, I'm not cold at all. Hand, besides your gloves are so small, I can't fit them."

As he spoke, he handed over his hands to Xiaoxi for her to see, but Xiaoxi was willing to wear his gloves for him, and Changfeng still felt sweet in his heart.

Xiao Fengyuan, who was standing by the side, regretted that when he came out, he forgot to put on the gloves made for him by sister Xiaoxi, and even if he wanted to catch fish, he would not be able to play.

Changfeng picked up the fish into the basket, and saw that Yao and his brothers were all there, and the ice hole had already been dug, and he was about to cast his net into the ice hole.

Seeing that the bait meat for fishing was not put in the nets they lowered, he told them.

Yao patted his stupid brother on the head, "I told you to go back and pass a message, get something, and still make such a big mistake, why don't you hurry up and tell those people you called out about the lack of bait."

Ling touched the head that was sore from his second brother's beating, knowing that it was his fault, he didn't dare to retaliate, and ran to spread the word.

The other orcs knew that they should take less, and asked Ling to take more of the animal meat used as bait, and return it to their family after they returned.

Xiaoxi saw that he had two pieces of animal meat left, so he handed them over, and they used the one closest to them first.

The remaining piece was borrowed by Sang Ye's family who first dug the ice cave.

Ling is worthy of being a bird orc. He just dug the ice hole in their house, and he came back with a small animal bag of cut animal meat.

Everyone put the pieces of animal meat into the fishing net one after another, and started fishing for the first time today.

On the usually quiet river, now twos and threes stood together and talked in a low voice.

Shang dug an ice cave not far from Xiaoxi's house by himself, and he borrowed the fishing net from Uncle En's house.

Because when he came, Xiaoxi and the others were busy harvesting the last grain at that time, no one went fishing anymore, and he didn't know that there was such a thing as a fishing net.

Just now when he heard Ling's shout, he walked out of the valley and asked Ling, and then he knew that Xiaoxi and the others were fishing on the river today, so he went around asking who had extra fishing nets, and if he could lend him some.

When Xiaoxi saw Shang, he just remembered to heal his leg, so he walked over and said, "Shang, it's just right that you are here, I originally planned to treat your injured leg in these few days.

But I think you came late this year, and the food reserves at home may not be very large. Just take advantage of these few days, and you catch more fish.

This can also be eaten boiled or baked, and it can also be used to make fish balls, but I am not very good at it now. I will teach you when I try to make it.

As for the treatment of the leg injury, when you are free, just tell me, and I will go there to treat you when the time comes. "

Shang was very grateful to Xiaoxi for being so considerate for their family, he nodded gratefully, "Okay, I will listen to the great witch doctor."

Xiaoxi is not a talkative person either, so after finishing what he had to say, he returned to Changfeng's side.

She looked at the sky, since they came out at noon, it is now afternoon.

Qing Cang had already taken Xiao Candy back in fear of being frozen, as long as Xiao Fengyuan was still running back and forth in the crowd because of his young age and love to play.

When everyone collected their nets, Xiaoxi found that although their family came first, some of them caught more fish than they did.

It seems that fishing does require some luck, because some people catch a lot of fish per net, so they come late, but they catch more fish.

Everyone put away their things, chatting and laughing happily in small groups and walking home, everyone's face is full of satisfaction and happiness for the current life.
