Chapter 6 The New Song of the Nestling
Sit up and turn over, Ling Yi got off the bed, walked steadily out of the room, and came to his own courtyard.
At this time, there was no one in the house. Both his father Ling Xiaoshan and his mother Zhang Xiaoyu went to the fields outside the village to prepare for this year's spring plowing.
We have been together day and night for more than a year. Although Ling Yi did not show any amazing words or actions, his well-behaved and sensible nature allowed his parents, elders and others to rest assured that he was playing alone at home.
Looking around the spacious courtyard, Ling Yi saw the blue sky. Without much hesitation, Ling Yi stepped on the "Blue Silver Grass" on the ground and walked straight to the side of the courtyard wall. .
Immediately, Ling Yi casually tore off a handful of small yellow vines from among the green "creeper" that was clinging to the wall. Without leaving, he sat down on the spot and started playing with it with his head down.
Thanks to Ling Yi, Zhang Xiaoyu and others have never had to worry about physical hygiene since he was a child, so he avoided the embarrassing situation of wearing crotchless pants, and did not let the "Blue Silver Grass" blades on the ground face him. A certain delicate part of oneself.
One by one, he pulled out the small yellow vines in his hand, straightened them out, aligned them one by one, and placed them in an open space in front of him where no "Bluesilver Grass" grew.
The vines of "Ivy" are usually green with tiny barbs, but these are naturally not the case.
"Female Radish" is the name of these yellow vines that Ling Yi learned from his parents. The specific origin is no longer known. Anyway, I heard that the entire [Shuimu Principality] is called this, so I want to fight This is probably the case in Luo Continent as well.
Of course, in Ling Yi's eyes, this thing also has a name - "Dodder".
In my previous life, it seemed to be a very common weed in my hometown’s countryside. It often parasitized on some plants on the edges of fields, sunny areas on hillsides, roadside bushes, and near graves.
Ling Yi still remembers that during the Qingming festival before time travel, when he went back to his hometown to worship his ancestors, he saw many of them along the country roads. Several crooked-neck trees were parasitic and diseased by these things.
No more gossip, Ling Yi’s big black and white eyes reflected the image of ten pink and white fingers flying up and down. In a short time, two things, one big and one small Er appeared in front of Ling Yi.
“Hu~~”
Ling Yi let out a breath, looked at the things held in his left and right hands, moved his mouth slightly, but did not make a sound in the end, but murmured in his heart: 'I haven't done it for a long time, my craftsmanship has deteriorated a lot -'
Fortunately, at least the function is not bad, it’s just not very beautiful, so Ling Yi doesn’t worry too much.
Stand up, walk to the courtyard gate with short legs, bend down, stick out your butt, and start playing with it again.
......
The big sun in the sky continues to radiate its own fiery heat, dispelling the remaining chill from the earth.
Near noon, a series of footsteps came from far to near outside the courtyard gate of the Ling family.
“Creak——!”
The burrs of the 70% new wooden door, which was almost smoothed away, made a somewhat harsh sound, and a figure stepped in.
The visitor first turned his eyes to the "Blue Silver Grass" all over the courtyard, with a look of helplessness on his face. Then he shook his head slightly and continued walking towards the courtyard. With.
Unexpectedly, before I had taken a few steps, I felt something strangled at my ankle. If it hadn't been for years of hard work, which made my waist and abdomen strong and my steps steady, I would have stumbled for a while.
The man looked down and saw that his ankle was now covered with a yellow 'rope' as thick as a child's little finger. There was a short twig as thick as a thumb stuck in the soil a few inches beside his foot, leaving only a small section in it. ground.
"What the hell?"
As he said that, he lifted the trapped foot hard, and the yellow 'rope' on the ankle broke, and the small branches on the side were also pulled out of the ground. Come in one piece.
He kicked his legs and shook off the remnants hanging on his feet. A shout came from his mouth: "Xiao Yi! Come out! I saw you——!"
As he spoke, he looked in the direction of the door of the main room.
The next second, Ling Yi's figure appeared there, trotting towards the entrance of the courtyard, spreading his arms as he ran, and shouted: "Uncle, you are here -!"
"Hey ——!”
Zhang Dahe quickly squatted down and grabbed Ling Yi, who was hugging him, and gently rubbed his stubbled chin on Ling Yi’s pink and tender face, and then The older one and the younger one had their foreheads pressed against each other, their eyes facing each other, "You boy, I just told Brother Qinlei that you were a smart and sensible person, so why don't you do this to me?"
With that said, Zhang Dahe held Ling Yi with his right hand, pulled the yellow 'rope' remains in front of the two of them with his left hand on his ankle.
“Huh?”
Before Ling Yi could say anything, Zhang Dahe took a closer look at the 'rope' and wondered: "This is...'Female Radish'?" "Isn't this thing broken when you pull it?" How many of them were tangled together and almost made me trip? "
"And..." Zhang Dahe picked up the small branch on the ground next to him, grabbed it with the 'rope' and looked back and forth a few times, then turned to look at Ling Yi , and asked with a tsk in his mouth: "You little guy made this thing? "
Ling Yi nodded, opened his big round eyes, and said: "Yeah~"
Zhang Dahe asked with interest: "Is there anything else? Show it to uncle~"
"Over there -" Ling Yi leaned in Zhang Dahe's arms, raised his hand and pointed a few steps away, saying: "There is another one..."
Zhang Dahe stood up with Ling Yi in his arms and walked towards Ling Yi. Where he pointed, he bent down and saw a small yellow net as big as two palms among several blue silver grasses.
......
When Ling Xiaoshan and Zhang Xiaoyu returned home with the sunset on their backs, they saw their brother-in-law/eldest brother Zhang Dahe lying on the ground in his yard, pouting. Butt is tinkering with something.
As for Ling Yi, his well-behaved and sensible son, he was sitting on the stone steps in front of the main house not far away, knitting something with his white and tender hands.
Ling Xiaoshan and Zhang Xiaoyu looked at each other, wondering what game the uncle and nephew were playing.
But at this time, night was approaching, the fatigue of a day's work, and the feeling of hunger in the abdomen still urged the two of them to focus on dinner in the evening.
At noon, the two of them each gnawed on a piece of flour bread that they had brought to the field. They had already digested it completely. If you have any questions, you can ask them at the dinner table later.
......
"So, what kind of 'lasso' and 'vine net' did Xiao Yi come to play with? They can be used to trap pheasants, hares, and net fish?"< br>
Ling Xiaoshan had an inexplicable expression on his face. He looked at his brother-in-law Zhang Dahe who was grinning, and then at his son Ling Yi who was immersed in fighting for food. He asked noncommittally.
How should I put it, Ling Xiaoshan feels that it is quite nonsense.
How can a one-year-old and one-month-old doll with random gadgets playing around in its hands have this effect?
Although my son started dragging some "creeper" and "female weed" vines around a few months ago, wasn't that just for fun?
Why did it suddenly become a hunting trap and fishing tool?
Seeing Ling Xiaoshan and Zhang Xiaoyu's unbelieving looks, Zhang Dahe shook his head and said, "You still don't believe it, even though Xiao Yi did this -"
Zhang Dahe nodded in front of him The 'lasso' on the table said: "I have never seen it before, but I experienced it myself at noon. The vines of the 'Female Roseweed' are easy to break, but if the vines of the 'Iron Vine' are replaced, I'm afraid I have to summon the "Hoe" spirit to cut it off..."
"In addition~" Zhang Dahe pushed the small net next to the 'lasso' forward again, and then Said: "This network should be familiar to you, right? ”
“When I went to the market in Beikouhe Town before, there were similar ‘fishing nets’ sold in the market there, but the one was more refined and more beautiful...”
Whether it was a set Ropes, or fishing nets, Ling Xiaoshan, Zhang Dahe and others can understand their functions
Although I have never seen the former, I have heard of similar animal traps. I just didn't expect that such a simple rope and branches could make a trap.
As for fishing nets, basically many villages, towns, and cities that live near the water will not lack this kind of fishing gear. Some people's martial souls are even "fishing nets".
However, many times, one of the obstacles that people are most likely to fall into is the barrier of knowledge and vision.
The biggest obstacle to a person's growth is also the obstacle to knowledge and vision.
That is, your current cognition has become an obstacle to your rigid thinking and inability to move forward and grow.
Ling Xiaoshan and Zhang Dahe knew about fishing nets and knew that fishing nets could help them catch fish in the water, but they had never considered weaving a fishing net by themselves when they could not afford the fishing nets sold in the town.
Even though, this kind of fishing net will have defects such as not being wear-resistant, easy to break, etc.
