The fishing net was laid on the ground, and the bamboo basket was slightly lifted, moved above the fishing net.
Then, the bamboo basket flipped over.
And seeing the situation inside the bamboo basket, a group of little kids jumped up together.
Inside the bamboo basket, there were at least a dozen sparrows, most of which were caught up in the fishing net, while the remaining few were flying around crazily inside the basket.
Yuan Shoucheng shouted, personally reaching in to pull each sparrow tangled in the fishing net out from the mesh and handed them to the little kids standing nearby.
Before long, every slightly bigger kid in the crowd surrounding had a sparrow in hand. As for those a little younger, Yuan Shoucheng dared not let them hold the sparrows, lest they weren’t held securely and fly away, wouldn’t it let the meat escape?
"Come on, let’s go roast them and eat!"
A total of nineteen sparrows, while it’s not enough for everyone to have one, but two people sharing one can work.
Yuan Shoucheng gave a big wave with his hand, ready to head off.
"Second cousin, why are you leaving? Let’s keep catching!"
Yuan Bao swung her fist, aiming a punch at her second cousin’s calf.
The force wasn’t big, but neither was it small.
Yuan Shoucheng was hit and felt a bit of pain.
"Jiaojiao, can you just talk next time and not hit my leg?"
Yuan Shoucheng rubbed his calf, inhaling sharply, he really didn’t know that his little cousin’s tiny fists could hit so painfully.
Yuan Bao responded casually, not taking it to heart.
Would she tell her second cousin that she did it on purpose?
This kind of little mischievous act, it’s definitely something that can’t be spoken out loud. The source of thɪs content is novel fire.net
"Jiaojiao, those sparrows are scared, how could they come back?"
Yuan Shoucheng figured the sparrows, having been frightened, couldn’t possibly fall for it again? If it were him, he certainly wouldn’t be fooled again.
"Second cousin, are you a sparrow?"
Yuan Bao tossed a big eye-roll at her second cousin.
Men die for wealth, birds die for food.
The ancestors’ summation of life experiences is the crystallization of wisdom from countless generations.
Moreover, with the brain capacity of these sparrows, it’s unknown whether they can consider such profound questions or not!
The scene was quickly rearranged.
As for those sparrows already caught, they were tied together with a string by the group of kids, and some even pinched the birds’ beaks tightly, claiming prettily not to let them alert other sparrows.
Yuan Bao didn’t understand bird language, naturally unaware if language existed between sparrows.
However, cautiousness does no harm.
In the end, all the kids pinched the sparrows’ beaks shut, preventing them from making any sound.
Facts once again proved that some sayings passed down by ancestors truly made sense.
When the bamboo basket was set up again, in less than a quarter of an hour, sparrows appeared once more on that patch of ground, pecking at the millet scattered there.
Then, increasingly more sparrows summoned friends and came along.
Yuan Bao quickly pulled the string again, catching another basket of sparrows.
By the time these sparrows were caught, it was enough to ensure that each kid had a sparrow with extras.
"Jiaojiao, let’s go again!"
Seeing they caught so many sparrows again, before Yuan Bao could say to continue, Yuan Shoucheng and the others shouted.
Yuan Bao firmly put away the string.
"We can’t catch all the sparrows, we need to save some, so we have more to catch later. If we catch them all, there won’t be any left for next time!"
