Chen Wanbai turned around and looked.
Hey!
Unexpectedly, I found another bamboo rat stuck at the entrance of the hole, and this bamboo rat was much larger than the one I shot to death before. No wonder it was stuck at the entrance of the hole.
Seeing this scene, Chen Wanbai's eyes lit up, he's so big!
She hurriedly walked over and observed the big bamboo rat.
I saw its fat body being caught in the hole and struggling hard.
Chen Wanbai hesitated for a moment, thinking about how to get the big bamboo rat out without letting it escape.
After thinking for a moment, she took a straw rope, tied a slip knot, carefully stretched it out, and tied it on the bamboo rat. Then the rope was tightened and the bamboo rat was tightly trapped.
Then use a hatchet to rake the soil at the entrance of the cave to loosen it, and at the same time, slowly pull the straw rope to pull the bamboo rat out of the hole bit by bit.
After a while, the fat bamboo rat was finally pulled out of the hole.
After weighing it, it was about seven or eight pounds. This should be a huge bamboo rat. After all, bamboo rats usually only weigh five or six pounds.
Looking at this fat bamboo rat, Chen Wanbai was very excited. Today was indeed an extremely fruitful day.
Go up the mountain in high spirits and go down the mountain in satisfaction.
Chen Wanbai hummed a little tune, carried a basket on his back, dragged a bundle of bamboo, and walked briskly down the mountain.
When she got home, the sky was already gray.
She put away the living prey, carried the dead big bamboo rat, and came to the small ditch to squat down.
With the faint light, Chen Wanbai skillfully picked up the tool and began to skin the bamboo rat. Her movements were methodical and she quickly dealt with the bamboo rat cleanly.
After everything was done, Chen Wanbai also felt a little tired.
Mrs. Liu had already boiled the bath water for her, so she fetched a bucket of cold water, carried it into the bathroom, and simply rinsed herself.
Then he dragged his tired body and climbed into bed.
After a while, he fell into sleep.
The next morning, the sunlight poured in through the gaps.
Chen Wanbai woke up leisurely, rubbed his sore arms and stood up, then simply washed himself.
After eating the morning meal, she carried the extremely fat bamboo rat in her hand and walked towards Wan Chaogui's house.
Not long after, Chen Wanbai arrived at the door of Wan Chaogui's house. She stretched out her hand and knocked gently on the courtyard door.
Suddenly, a shadow quickly rushed out of the room and fell at her feet. She was hit and took two steps back to support him.
He lowered his head and took a closer look. It turned out to be Wan Chaogui’s son, Wan Nianhuang.
"Xiao Huang, why are you running so fast?" After that, an anxious voice came over.
Wan Nianhuang raised his head and glanced at Chen Wanbai, and asked innocently: "Sister, who are you?"
"Xiaobai, you are here. This child , I thought his father was back. His father promised to bring him delicious food, so he ran out in a hurry," Mrs. Wan explained while holding the door and holding her cane.
"Grandma Zhao, can you go to the ground?" Chen Wanbai looked surprised.
"Yes, no, but it will take some time before I can walk." Mrs. Zhao looked regretful.

Then, she looked at Chen Wanbai and asked, "Xiaobai, what are you doing here so early?"
Chen Wanbai smiled and said, "Grandma Zhao, I'm here to see you. Uncle Wan, I have a little business and I need to ask him for help. I'm really sorry that I keep bothering you."
Before Mrs. Zhao could respond, Wan Nianhuang spoke up first.
He stared at the bamboo rat in Chen Wanbai's hand with curiosity, blinked his big eyes and asked, "Sister, why is your rat so big?"
Chen Wanbai squatted down. He raised his body and raised the bamboo rat in front of Wan Nianhuang, and said gently: "This is not a mouse, this is a bamboo rat. Xiao Huang, can you let me make milk for you to eat? It's delicious."
Wan Nianhuang stretched out his little hand, gently touched the bamboo rat's fur, and nodded excitedly.
"You kid, you bring something here every time." Mrs. Zhao said with a slightly annoyed tone.
But Mrs. Zhao also knew Chen Wanbai’s temperament, so she didn’t say any more words of rejection. She knew in her heart that if she refused, Chen Wanbai would definitely not be embarrassed to ask them for help.
Chen Wanbai just smiled and did not speak.
"Your Uncle Wan went to the mountains this morning to collect a fawn. While the fawn was still alive, he hurriedly sent it to the town. Maybe Mr. Zhang might like it," Mrs. Zhao explained. road.
Chen Wanbai nodded, looked up at the sky again, and then said: "Grandma Zhao, I will go back first. I guess Uncle Wan will not come back so soon. I have something to do at home, so it will be later. I'll come again when the time comes."
"When Uncle Wan comes back, I'll ask him to come to your house."
Chen Wanbai put the bamboo rat directly on the porch, and then smiled. After saying goodbye to Mrs. Zhao and Wan Nianhuang, she turned and left.
After returning home, Chen Wanbai said hello to Mrs. Liu, and then left carrying the hatchet and hoe.
When Mrs. Liu saw this, she wanted to call Chen Wanbai to stop, but she didn't know what she should say. I don’t know how to do these things at home at all., if the daughter doesn’t do it, so what.
In the end, all the words turned into lines of tears flowing down.
However, Chen Wanbai had no idea about this. At this moment, she was standing by the ditch and gesticulating.
The water in this small ditch flows down from the mountain. She has followed the water up to look for it before, and there is no doubt that it is mountain spring water.
Walking back to the wooden house, I picked another location and planned to build a water house here in the future.
After determining the location, she held the hatchet and started walking up the mountain along this spot.
Every step she took seemed extremely difficult. The weeds and thorns under her feet would occasionally catch the corners of her clothes and trouser legs, making her walk extremely difficult.
She could only wield the hatchet and chop at the obstructing vegetation again and again, and her arms gradually became extremely sore.
Sweat slid down her forehead and dripped into her eyes, causing a sting. She wiped it with her sleeves and continued to focus on clearing the way.
During the process of opening the road, she had to pay attention to the direction of the ditch to ensure that she did not deviate from the direction.
Chen Wan spent a lot of effort and finally found the upper reaches of the small ditch, right in the middle of the mountain.
Looking at the clear spring water flowing down the river, she was filled with joy, thinking that this was the straightest route, and all the hard work had been in vain.
She took a short rest and began to think about her next plan.
Her plan is to find the straightest water source, and then use bamboo to make water pipes to lead the water all the way down the mountain.
For her to complete such a task alone, it is indeed a arduous task and a huge amount of work.
However, when it comes to water issues, to be honest, she is really reluctant to ask for help.
