Chapter 187 The Picnic Party Begins (3)
Excitedly, Lin Lanshan took out the empty bamboo basket, and in a few steps, jumped onto two exposed rocks in the shallows, stepping on one with each foot.
"Little kitties, swim from the other side of the pond to this side and drive all the fish over here. We'll use a basket to cook them all in one pot!"
"An'an, Kang Kang, come here and stand on both sides to block the fish from getting away from our feet."
An'an immediately swam over and blocked the spot between the shore and Lin Lanshan.
Seeing her younger sister waving enthusiastically at everyone, Lin Chunyi suddenly remembered the scene when the two of them first caught fish in the stream.
Back then, Lin Lanshan tried to catch fish with her bare hands for a long time but only managed to catch a few. She wasn't as clever as she is today, hahaha...
She chuckled twice, then took another bamboo basket and stepped onto a rock not far from her sister, where Kang Kang blocked the empty space on her side as well.
The net-closing operation was ready, so the two sisters gently placed the basket in the water and bent down to wait.
"Alright, kittens, you can chase them over here!"
Two lynxes had been waiting by the pool, ready to pounce. At the command, they plunged into the water.
I don't know if they're just too smart, or if they're deliberately scaring the fish into a panic. They make a lot of noise when they go into the water, splashing water with two loud "plop" sounds, creating a huge spray.
This move caused all the fish in the pond to panic and flee towards the "trap".
Even the two sisters and An'an Kang Kang, who were almost five meters away from them, were splashed with quite a few water droplets.
Lin Chunyi shivered as the cold water splashed on her face and her rolled-up sleeves.
Seeing countless fish swarming towards her, she quickly grabbed the bamboo basket again, ready to receive them.
Two lynxes followed closely behind the school of fish, flapping their wings on either side to create splashes in the water and block the small fish that tried to slip past them.
Meanwhile, the squirrels, Peach, and Tuan Tuan Yuan Yuan stood guard on the shore with two baskets and a bow and arrow, watching intently as the girls caught fish.
Once a large group of fish had entered the bamboo baskets in their hands, the little squirrels wagged their big tails, pointed their paws at each other, and made squeaking noises to express their happiness.
Peach was also humming softly beside her.
"Hahaha, we caught them! We caught them! So many fish!" Lin Chunyi and Lin Lanshan both held up bamboo baskets, beaming with joy.
Two lynxes swam over quickly, shook off the water, and began to tug at their clothes.
Lin Chunyi smiled and said, "Let's go, let's go up first. The water is cold, we'll get sick if we stay in it too long."
Once their feet were on the grass, they put the bamboo basket on the ground, picked out fish fry that were less than a finger's length from it, and put them back.
The two lynxes stared intently at the fish in the basket, with what appeared to be drool at the corners of their mouths.
The heroes deserve a good reward! Lin Lanshan quickly picked out two of them, "Little kitties, eat less of this first, there's plenty of meat to eat later."
They meowed twice and then bit the fish, eating it with great joy.
The little squirrels all gathered around the bamboo basket with curiosity, and the bolder ones even stretched out their claws to scratch it.
It's so slippery, and it wags its tail the moment it moves!
The squirrels, who had craned their necks to look over the basket, were splashed with water and, in a fit of rage, reached out their claws to scratch it.
"Hahaha, do squirrels eat fish? Squirrel-shaped mandarin fish?" Lin Lanshan laughed heartily.
After watching them play for a while, she poured the two baskets of fish together and put them into her spatial storage. "We can't just eat these fish. Let's go and see if there are any bigger ones."
"Meow! Meow!" The kitten and its mate rubbed against her legs, their fluffy, long tails sticking up to her and wagging like seaweed.
The two sisters carried their baskets on their backs, and the squirrels, quick as lightning, climbed up to the spots where they had stood the way they had come.
"..." Both of them wore identical expressions of helplessness.
It doesn't affect them much; let's just consider it today's weight training. Lin Chunyi gently tapped the squirrel's head on her left shoulder and slowly said, "Let's go."
Hunting team, let's continue!
In the following time, the squirrels picked fruit, while the lynx attacked the pheasants from both sides...
Wherever they went, chaos ensued.
As noon approached, the sun began to unleash its full heat, and the two sisters broke out in a sweat on their backs, feeling a bit empty in their stomachs.
By this time, they had a pheasant with its neck bitten off, a deer with an arrow piercing its neck, and a large pile of all sorts of oddly shaped fruits—a rather bountiful harvest.
They had caught enough to eat, so they decided to return to the meadow.
"Hum~hum~"
Just as I was about to turn and leave, I heard a humming sound coming from a large grove of trees in the distance.
The sound was very soft, but the Lin sisters, Chunyi and Shanmao, with their exceptional hearing, could hear it clearly.
The two lynxes immediately assumed defensive and ready-to-attack postures in the direction from which the sound came.
Is it a herd of wild boars?
Lin Lanshan's eyes lit up. "Sister, I'll go take a look first." If it really is true, their luck today is just too good!
"Be careful."
Lin Lanshan nodded, gave him a reassuring look, put down her basket and the squirrels, and left with only her bow and quiver.
She carefully avoided the withered grass and branches around her, her steps light, her body slightly pressed as she slipped into the woods.
The wild boar's grunting grew closer and closer, almost touching. She glanced left and right, then climbed a large tree on her right and stood high on a branch.
Actually, most of the leaves on this tree had fallen, leaving only countless dry branches stretching wildly in the air. But fortunately, the trees in this grove were quite dense, all clustered together, one next to the other.
If you don't look closely, the person in this tree, which is blocked from all sides, is not easy to spot.
Lin Lanshan leaned against a tree trunk with one hand, carefully searching for the source of the sound...
Suddenly, his eyes narrowed, locking onto a group of black-furred beasts directly in front of him.
There are big ones and small ones, a total of five.
If you look closely, you can see the smallest one, which is about the size of a lynx, wagging its little tail and digging in the dirt with its mouth.
"Good luck, really good luck!" she couldn't help but mutter to herself.
Isn't that good luck?
Two large ones, two medium ones, and one small one—it's just the right amount of food for them, who currently need to take care of some vulnerable groups.
If there were a few more, they would have to consider sending all the little guys away before they dared to go.
Lin Lanshan happily slid down from the tree and returned to the group the way she came.
As soon as she approached, her sister asked expectantly, "How is it? Is that a herd of wild boars ahead? How many are there? Are there any other wild animals nearby?"
"They are wild boars, two large, two medium, and one small. There is nothing else around here except them."
Lin Lanshan answered honestly one by one, then raised an eyebrow and gestured: Are you going or not? There are quite a few!
