    Seeing Shen Mo's amiable face, little Aman was not so timid, jumped out from behind Rou Niang, took Shen Mo's arm with her little hand, and walked out, shouting excitedly: "BirdBird"

    Shen Mo had no choice but to put down his job, and said to Rou Niang: "I went out to catch birds with Ah Man, if you have nothing to do, come and help."

    Rou Niang was conflicted at first, but when she heard the word 'help', she nodded happily and said, "What utensils do you want to prepare?"

    "Just find a net for catching birds." Shen Mo scratched his head and said, "Let Tie Zhu find it. You can find some rice grains, mix them with sesame oil and take them to the lake."

    Ah Man excitedly said: "What is Ah Man doing?"

    Mo Mo picked up the broom behind the door and said with a smile, "Come sweep the snow with me." Then he took the jumping little girl to the lake.

    Walking in the sealed corridor, I saw a dozen exquisite bird cages hanging on the eaves of the corridor, in which there were more than a dozen pairs of ornamental birds such as parrots, starlings, thrushes, and larks. Together with the evergreen plants in the corridor,  Create a vibrant atmosphere.

    Ah Man suddenly stopped in his tracks and looked down at her silently, and saw her biting her fingers lightly, with her little head up, staring intently at a pair of budgerigars in the cage Silently said child  Sure enough, they all like beautiful birds.

    But Ah Man raised his head and said to him seriously: "Roasted green bird."

    The corner of Shen Mo's mouth twitched weakly, only then did he realize that in the eyes of little Ah Man, it was a birdcage with a plate of vegetables in it.  With a dry laugh, he said: "Hehe, the taste of domestic food is worse, but roasted wild game is more exciting." He took the reluctant little girl and quickly left the corridor.

    Outside it was snowing and it was clearing up, a layer of snow covering the flowers and plants in the garden, Ah Man looked around, his big black eyes were full of doubts: "Where is the bird, uncle?"

    Silence was full of frustration, pinched Ah Man's fleshy cheeks and said, "Ah Man, I feel sad when you call me 'uncle', and when I feel sad, I forget how to catch birds, so"

    "Then I won't bark." The little girl said happily.

    Silence swallowed, thinking that at least he had found a way to deal with her.  So he took Ah Man to the Fish Watching Platform on the east side of the lake.  The past few months of patrolling the frontlines had made him a good habit of surveying the terrain. Although he only turned around the lake once, he had already discovered that this was a place where birds frequented.  After returning, he asked Rou Niang specifically, knowing that this is the place where fish are usually fed in the garden

    When painters in the Southern Song Dynasty set the "Ten Scenes of West Lake", this Lu Garden was included in it, and it was called "Flower Harbor Viewing Fish".  Tens of thousands of golden-scaled red carps are stockedso many fish are fed on the fish viewing platform, and a lot of rice slag naturally falls on the ground, which becomes a canteen for birdsespecially in this snow-covered land, where there is nowhere to find fish.  Birds will undoubtedly prefer this place when they are eating.

    Sure enough, when Shen Mo took Ah Man to the fish viewing platform, a dozen or so small birds of various colors had already landed on the snow within a radius of several feet, looking for food.  There is little snow in the south, and it is the first time for many birds to encounter this kind of weather. They hop around on the snow and can't find anything to eat.

    Maybe it's because they are used to being pampered and pampered in the house, these little birds are not very afraid of people, until the big and small come close, they flutter up and fly away, but they don't fly far away, but stop on the top of the wall, on the top of the tree  On the way, tilting his head to look at these two bad guys, he felt a little unwilling.

    Ah Man said regretfully: "They all flew away, otherwise they could all be roasted."

    Mo Mo touched her head and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the arrangements will be made later, let's hide, and the birds will come down."

    "Hurry up, hurry up." Ah Man clapped and jumped.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    As soon as Shen Mo swept away the snow on the bird watching platform with a broom, Tie Zhu sent a bird net. He is also a veteran of catching birds and fish. With the cooperation of the two, they set up a powerful bird net.  But it is a piece of cake.

    Mo Mo first stretched out his hand to test the wind direction, because before the birds landed, they always landed against the wind in order not to frizz their feathers.  Therefore, the net should be installed with the wind. If it is against the wind, it will block the way for the birds to come down.

    The two of them put a large net over the Zhang Xukuo platform, and after securing the net, tried to pull it out, and it turned over quickly, obviously very successful.

    At this time, Rou Niang also brought a pot of soaked rice over, silently smelling the smell of sesame oil and some wine, and asked with a smile: "Why is it mixed with wine?" Rou Niang whispered: "This bird  If you eat it, you will be unresponsive, so you can grasp it tightly."

    Mo Mo said happily: "I never expected you to be so good at playing."

      Rou Niang's little face turned red immediately, she lowered her head and said: "Your maidservant just heard about it."

    Silence laughed and took the pot, and little Aman volunteered to sprinkle all the rice under the net. After finishing all this, Silence smiled and said: "Let's go hide, maybe we can catch seven or eight at a time."

    When everyone hid behind the rockery, Tie Zhu smiled and said: "Master, I have a good idea, I can catch more than a dozen of them at once."

    "Don't be tricky, hurry up." Silently scolded with a smile.

    Tie Zhu took out a bamboo whistle from his pocket, held it in his mouth and blew it.  After a while, I saw more and more birds circling in the sky, but they were attracted by the whistle and rushed over from all directions.

    Flying to the flock of birds near the fish viewing platform, seeing no one around, a few bold birds flew down reflexively, wanting to find food, and when they fell into the air, they could smell the strong aroma, and couldn't help but fly faster  .  There is a saying that people die for money and birds die for food, that is absolutely unambiguous.

    Ah Man tightly held Shen Mo's big hand, his nervous cheeks puffed up, and the girl next to her also opened her eyes wide, not even daring to breathe.  Both of them stared at the silent hands holding the thick rope for pulling the net, and said anxiously in their hearts: 'Pull it quickly, pull it quickly, if you don't pull it, it will fly again.  '

    Silent but unmoved, childhood experience told him that most birds are timid, and they have to wait for a few bold ones to confirm that they are not in danger before swooping down.

    Looking at those cheerful birds eating rice with their heads down, his heart was in his throat, and the time became extremely long, waiting and waiting, why didn't the big troops fly down?

    Just when he was about to lose his patience, and was about to settle down first, and count the few he caught, he suddenly heard the sound of the wind breaking in the sky, and when he looked up, he saw the flock of birds finally swooping down.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    After careful observation, the flock of birds was convinced that there was no problem, and finally landed one after another, and began to twitter and grab food, and had no time to care about other things.

    Only then did Shen Mo pull with both hands together, and the large net that was roughly square feet suddenly fell down.

    The frightened flock of birds wanted to flutter their wings, but found that their little brains were a little dizzy, and their wings were a little clumsy, so they took off a beat slower—then crashed into the big net that was buckled down by the wind.  Except for a few lucky birds on the side who were not caught by the net and flew away in panic, most of the birds were caught by the net.

    The moment the big net was caught, Ah Man rushed out like a deer, circled happily around the still turbulent big net, applauded and shouted happily: "Catch it, catch it."

    Mo Mo also turned out from behind the rockery, walked over and counted, and saw that there were more than 20 birds caught under the net, and some of them had their heads blown away by the net rope that was quickly turned over, but most of them were caught in the net.  Still alive, they are all jumping and jumping in fear!

    Then he pointed out to Aman with a smile: "This is a blue-backed, this is a skylark, this is a partridge, this is a sandgrouse, this is a cuckoo dove, this is a sparrow" Listening to the silence, Aman was already drooling  , shook his big hand vigorously and said: "Quick, quick"

    Shen Mo ordered Tie Zhu to deal with these birds, and the big black man unhurriedly opened a corner of the net, grabbed one at random, exerted force with his thumb and forefinger, the bird fell silent, and threw it into the sack  .  His movements were extremely fast, and he caught all the birds in a short while.

    Just as he was struggling, Shen Mo suddenly said: "Leave one, don't pinch them all!" Tie Zhu chuckled and said, "Just save one job." He handed the last one to him, and Shen Mo asked him to support him again.  He drew up the net, and tied the little bird's foot to a stone, and put it under the net.

    Ah Man curiously asked why, and smiled silently: "The bird is startled once, and it will be difficult to come down again, unless there are others of the same kind looking for food below, and then we can relax our vigilance."

    This time the iron pillar blew the bird whistle for a long time before gathering a flock of birds again. Those birds really hovered in the sky for a long time, and only rushed down from the sky after seeing that the birds on the ground were not in danger.

    The birds were also caught, and a dozen more were caught.  After Tie Zhu cleaned up the battlefield, Shen Mo didn't let him draw the net anymore: "These are enough, we must leave a way for the little bird to survive."

    Ah Manda nodded his head and said: "Well, I have to save it for next time."

    Silence laughed loudly and said, "That's the truth."

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    After catching enough birds, it will be roasted, Shen Mo assigned the task again: "Tie Zhu, go dig some clay by the lake." Looking at Rou Niang again, I thought that this girl is really pretty, the more you look at it, the more beautiful she is.  , and said softly: "Go to the kitchen and ask for some five spices, soy sauce, salt, and flower carvings."

    "What about me?" Ah Man jumped up and said, "Ah Man also wants to work!"

    Silently smiled and said: "You and I will go break the pine branches."——
