At this time, Mo Changtian had already walked into the water, with his waist hooked and his eyes fixed on the water surface.

Shen Qiushui took a look, then turned his attention to other places.

After seeing Mo Changtian's lightness kung fu, she was very confident that he could catch fish.

The weeds around the lake sprouted, and she glanced casually, but didn't see any useful herbs.

Shen Qiushui, who had lost his target, sat in a clean place, staring at Mo Changtian in a daze.

However, in the next second, she suddenly stood up with excitement on her face.

Looking at the butterfly mussels beside the rocks at the edge of the lake, Shen Qiushui couldn't sit still.

Pond clam can secrete nacre to form pearls.

Looking at the butterfly mussels of different sizes, Shen Qiushui rolled up his trouser legs with a smile and ran to pick them up.

A total of more than a dozen butterfly clams were picked up, and Shen Qiushui piled them all up on the shore.

When she was worried about opening clams to get pearls like this, Mo Changtian carried a half-meter-long fish ashore.

There were also two fish that had been caught and thrown up on the shore.

He grabbed a few straw ropes to tie the fish and walked towards Shen Qiushui.

Looking at the mussels piled up in front of the other party, he frowned slightly.

"Do you want to eat this?" Mo Changtian asked, thinking that Shen Qiushui had never eaten this, he explained: "This food is fishy and not tasty."

"No, no, no." Shen Qiushui quickly shook his head: "I just want to see if there are any pearls in the past few years, this river clam really looks like a butterfly clam..."

Shen Qiushui picked up the largest mussel. The mussel was alive, and the two shells were tightly clenched, and there was no way to separate it.

She glanced at the machete in Mo Changtian's hand and had an idea.

"Will there be pearls in here?" Mo Changtian has been here so many times, but he has never thought about these mussels.

Seeing Shen Qiushui's face full of excitement, he didn't pour cold water on her, but handed over the machete.

After Shen Qiushui took the machete, he realized how heavy the machete was.

She hit the mussels with the back of the machete, and after a few hits, her hands became sore.

Mo Changtian pulled Shen Qiushui up and opened the mussels instead of her.

With just one knock, a hole was directly smashed out of the mussel, and it didn't take much effort to break the mussel from both sides along the hole.

Shen Qiushui saw the bulge on the edge of the mussel, Shen Qiushui's eyes lit up, and he squatted in front of Mo Changtian and took the mussel.

After a few strokes, a few pearls with pitted skin were squeezed out from the inside.

Under the sunlight, the pearls appear indistinctly in several colors.

"It really is." Shen Qiushui smiled.

Seeing the smile on Shen Qiushui's face, Mo Changtian held back from telling her that the pearls are not good looking and are not worth much.

He lowered his head and smashed all the mussels brought ashore by Shen Qiushui, and threw them open in front of Shen Qiushui.

Shen Qiushui squeezed the pearls out of the mussel one by one, and the whole process was very stress-free.

Dozens of pearls with strange shapes were harvested, and only one round pearl was found.

Looking at the pearls wrapped in huge leaves, Shen Qiushui was very satisfied, this must be the biggest harvest of her trip.

What she didn't expect was that what surprised her was yet to come.

She and Mo Changtian walked back, halfway there, they ran into a bamboo chicken.

The bamboo chicken ran into it by itself, so Mo Changtian naturally wouldn't let it go, and immediately chased after it.

The bamboo chicken is petite and jumps up and down in the dense bamboo forest with great speed.

However, it wasn't long before Mo Changtian hit him on the head with a stone.

The entire cockscomb was rotten, which shows how much effort he used.

Shen Qiushui was so excited that he stepped forward and picked up the bamboo chicken by its neck.

The whole head of the bamboo chicken was sunken by the stone, and now the bamboo chicken was still breathing its last breath, flapping its wings desperately.

"The bamboo chicken is running this way. There should be a nest nearby. You wait for me here, and I'll look for it." After speaking, Mo Changtian ran to the other side of the bamboo forest.

Shen Qiushui honestly waited for Mo Changtian to come back.

Mo Changtian didn't keep her waiting for long.

He was holding a bamboo chicken in his hand and a few bamboo eggs in his arms.

Shen Qiushui didn't expect that Mo Changtian would gain this much by running over there.

His eyes widened, and he quickly ran towards Mo Changtian.

"You are too powerful!" Shen Qiushui stared at the bamboo chicken in the opponent's hand and exclaimed.

"Good luck today." The corner of Mo Changtian's mouth curled up, as if he enjoyed being praised by Shen Qiushui.

Before leaving the bamboo forest, Shen Qiushui also found bamboo shoots.

Logically speaking, there are no bamboo shoots in this season, and two more months will be the day when a large number of bamboo shoots will appear.

These bamboo shoots were bumped into by Shen Qiushui, so she naturally would not let them go, and together with the bamboo chicken, they could just make a roast chicken with bamboo shoots.

After being a vegetarian for so many days, I can finally eat meat.

Thinking of the taste of chicken, Shen Qiushui swallowed, and quickened his pace to catch up with Mo Changtian.

Put all the harvested things into the back basket, but fortunately the back basket is big enough to hold everything.

Shen Qiushui, who was carrying a basket on his back, and Mo Changtian, who was dragging a large handful of bamboo poles, went down the mountain together.

It was past noon when we went down the mountain.

On the way back, they met many villagers who went back to the house to eat and went to the field.

When the villagers saw the husband and wife, they looked into the big basket that Shen Qiushui was carrying.

Seeing the two bamboo chickens, his eyes turned red with jealousy.

The two walked along the field ridge to Luo's house at the end of the village.

The door of Luo's house was ajar and not locked. It seemed that Granny Luo had returned.

Shen Qiushui stepped over the threshold and entered the courtyard, followed by Mo Changtian dragging the bamboo pole.

Mo Yu was the first to see the two of them.

"Father, mother!" Mo Yu quickly rushed towards Shen Qiushui with her short legs.

"Don't hug!" Shen Qiushui hastily dodged the opponent's hand that wanted to hug her thigh, "Mother is dirty, hug me later."

Granny Luo, who was in the kitchen, heard the conversation and came here with a cane.

"You're finally back." Granny Luo looked at the two of them with vacant eyes for a while, "The rice is warming in the pot, go and eat it yourself."

"Thank you, godmother, we'll eat later." Shen Qiushui put the basket on the ground with a smile, and dumped the contents on the ground.

"Wow!" Seeing the two bamboo chickens on the ground, Mo Yu exclaimed, "There are two chickens!"

Mo Yu and Mo Dong squatted beside the dead bamboo chicken, stretched out their hands and carefully poked it, their eyes full of curiosity.

Shen Qiushui looked at the appearance of the two children, smiled and shook his head, turned around and went to the kitchen to get a bowl containing a large handful of pearls.

"What chicken? Did Tianwazi hunt a pheasant?" Granny Luo asked curiously when she heard Mo Yu's words.

She stepped forward with a cane, and squinted her eyes for a long time before she was sure that there were two bamboo chickens on the ground.

Bamboo chickens are much smaller than ordinary domestic chickens, and the heaviest ones are only about a catty.

"That's right, Chang Tian caught it, and there are still three eggs." Shen Qiushui came out with two bowls.

One of the three bamboo eggs was broken, and she put it in a bowl, and then poured all the pearls wrapped in leaves into the bowl.
