Chapter 303: You Were Called Only To Carry Things (4)
After sorting the fishes, Mo Beihan tossed those small ones back into the river, causing Ji Mingzhe’s heart to ache.
“Many… families want those… We got it after much effort…”
“They’re too small!” Mo Beihan was very decisive.
Ji Mingzhe: …
He only kept a small portion of the larger ones and kept the most of those who were neither large nor small as these were the best to sell.
Each cast was very successful as the net was always filled with a large number of fishes. Ji Mingzhe simply could not believe his eyes.
How… How many fishes exactly were there in this river?
This was too unusual!
Lin Dongxu took a look at him. “I told you already. There’s meat to eat when you follow Elder Brother Mo.”
Ji Mingzhe: …
After getting sufficient fish, the trio processed the fishes at the riverside.
Mo Beihan took a small bucket of water, poured in a packet of powder and stirred it evenly. Afterward, he placed those processed fishes in the bucket to let the water run over them.
Ji Mingzhe was dumbfounded. “What’s this for?”
“Maintain their freshness!”
In the previous lifetime, he would bring Yao Yao out to play whenever he had the time and she really liked studying these unusual little things.
As long as water ran over the fish, they would still be fine within ten days even if they were just left piled together without any additional processing.
Ten days’ time was enough for him.
After catching sufficient fishes, it was already evening. Ji Mingzhe looked at the sky and said, “It’s late already. Stop already!”
Mo Beihan took a look and replied, “Don’t panic. I know a place to rest. It’s not far from here.”
The mountains were more dangerous at night. Although Mo Beihan was not anxious, he did not stay there for too long either and headed to a cave that he found previously after packing up.
After drying those vegetables and mushrooms for the entire afternoon, the amount reduced greatly and it became much easier to carry them back.
They carried the fishes back first. The cave was at the waist of the mountain. It had a small entrance, but it was very spacious and rather deep inside. Such a cave was the safest.
Ji Mingzhe went in to take a look. There were a pot, some firewood and even utensils in it. Evidently, it was not Mo Beihan’s first time here.
“Amazing! You can even find such a great place.”
Mo Beihan smiled without saying anything. He placed the items down at the deepest corner of the cave before coming out to retrieve the vegetables and mushrooms. Mo Beihan left after scattering something at the cave entrance.
After drying the vegetables, mushrooms and herbs for an entire afternoon, they only took up two sacks when contained together.
They had a large surface area but were not very heavy.
Mo Beihan took a look at the traps in the surroundings and found some gains.
They gathered the loot. Lin Dongxu gleefully tied the animals up one by one with his ropes and strung them together. Then, he hung them all on his body with the largest grin he could ever form.
Ji Mingzhe’s lips twitched!
He seemed to understand what this fellow brought so many ropes here for!
On their way back, they suddenly heard some strange noises when they passed a forest.
Mo Beihan and Ji Mingzhe paused in their tracks and squinted their eyes.
“Is this… a wild boar?” Ji Mingzhe was alarmed.
“Climb the trees!”
Before he finished speaking, Mo Beihan already made a decision. He immediately took some of the preys on Lin Dongxu’s body and hung on himself and set aside those vegetables and mushrooms. However, he could not bear to abandon the herbs in fear that the wild boar would ruin them, thus he carried them on his back and climbed up the tree.
