Chapter 1317 Extra: Du Fu 43

Du Lai used the long branch as a walking stick to explore the path, sweeping the grass blades in front of him as he moved forward.

He has traveled back and forth on this road several times, and the traces of his previous steps have gradually formed the prototype of a "road".

The closer he got to the bamboo forest, the more cautious he walked, constantly tapping the surrounding grass with the branches in his hands.

Fu Miaoxue behind him followed suit and picked up a branch, following behind and sweeping it around.

Du Lai turned to look at her and asked, "Do you know what I'm doing?"

Fu Miaoxue thought for a while and asked, "Looking for something to eat?"

"You just know how to eat." Du Lai said, "This is called alerting the snake. First scare the snake away, then it will be safe for people to walk."

Fu Miaoxue couldn't help but ask: "Can snakes be eaten?"

Du Lai paused in his steps. He wondered if Fu Miaoxue was suffering from hunger. Why could he eat anything?

...But this is good. If you are greedy, your fear will not be so strong, and you will not immediately scream when you see a snake, making people's ears hurt.

Du Lai continued to walk forward and explained: "Snakes in the wild like to prey on mice and may carry the plague virus. Once they are not handled properly, the people who eat them will also be infected with the plague. Therefore, snakes and mice cannot be eaten as a last resort." , it’s best not to eat it.”

Fu Miaoxue said a long "Oh" with disappointment.

"I'm going to saw the bamboo. You can help me sweep the area." Du Lai said, "If there is a snake, drive it away."

Fu Miaoxue nodded in agreement.

With one more person to help, Du Lai can worry less. He doesn't have to worry about being bitten by a nearby snake when sawing bamboo.

The bamboo was very long, and he only sawed three of them.

I can't carry any more.

He tied the bamboo pole with vines, tied the knot and made a rope loop, put it on himself, dragged the bamboo with the strength of his arms and shoulders, and walked back slowly.

Fu Miaoxue walked in front of him, using branches to help him clear the way.

Du Lai only looked at her back and could imagine how disappointed she must be at this moment - she went out and didn't find any food.

Picking wild fruits also requires luck. Not every tree is willing to be generous.

The sky suddenly darkened.

The two of them looked up involuntarily and saw a black flock of birds flying overhead.

Fu Miaoxue became excited: "There are birds! Du Lai! What a big group of birds!"

"I saw it, it must be a bird returning to its nest." Du Lai carefully identified the direction, "It flew towards the southeast corner."

Fu Miaoxue ran after the flock of birds for a few steps. She couldn't help but raise the branch in her hand and throw it out with all her strength!

No matter how strong she was, she couldn't hit the flock of birds flying high in the sky, so the branch was thrown into the air, swayed in a circle, fell down again, and smashed into the nearby bushes.

Fu Miaoxue watched the birds fly out of sight, bit her lip, and said in a low voice: "Either they are inedible, or they cannot be eaten."

Du Lai picked up the cane on his shoulder and continued walking forward. He said slowly, "This is a returning bird, not a migratory bird. It seems that there must be a large bird's nest on this island. I'll look for it soon. I'll be lucky." If it’s good, we can have roasted bird tonight.”

Fu Miaoxue's eyes suddenly lit up and she ran back to Du Lai: "You know how to catch birds? How? We don't have tools. Should we make a net first? Or make a trap to attract the birds?"

Du Lai smiled: "I'll teach you later and you'll understand."

Fu Miaoxue almost cheered on the spot. She hugged Du Lai's face and kissed her hard. She said happily: "Du Lai! Why are you so awesome!"

Du Lai was stunned for a moment, then felt funny and a little proud.

He pretended to be used to the storm and said, "Hey, you're happy, don't do anything."

Fu Miaoxue was still excited. She pulled up the cane on the bamboo and said, "I'll help you pull the bamboo together!"

"Okay, okay, you're pulling at the wrong angle, it will only make me work harder!"

"No! I have to pull! I'm so happy!"

"You...sigh..."
