Stepping into the swamp, Mu Wanqing's white and delicate feet suddenly sank into the mud.

Fortunately, it was relatively dry at this time of year, so the depression was not deep, and the mud only reached the ankle level.

"Junior, where are the crabs? I didn’t see it at all!"

Mu Wanqing walked around in a circle and didn't even see a single insect, let alone a crab, so she couldn't help but ask. Although she had experience in camping, she was Bai Fumei and had never caught a crab at all. She was totally blind. A touch of darkness.

Hearing this, Lin Xian smiled and said:"Senior sister, freshwater crabs usually hide in holes and only come out when they are looking for food. Moreover, it is late autumn now, and many crabs have huddled in their holes for the winter."

Why are crabs the fattest in September and October?

Because at this time, crabs will eat a lot, store energy as much as possible, and make themselves fatter to survive the cold winter.

But crabs after spring have no meat..

Throughout the winter, their stored energy was exhausted.

After listening to Lin Xian's explanation, Mu Wanqing suddenly realized.

Soon, she had new doubts:"But, where is the crab's hole?"

So far, she hasn't found a single crab hole.

"You can look for them near the grass. Crabs will dig holes near the grass, because the weeds can serve as concealment... Senior sister, here is one."

While speaking, Lin Xian pushed aside a clump of weeds, and a mud hole the size of a fist suddenly appeared in front of the two of them.

Seeing this scene, Mu Wanqing hurriedly took steps, one step deeper and one shallower. She came to Lin Xian's side.

Looking at the mud hole, she frowned and said,"Junior, what if... I mean what if, there is a poisonous snake in this hole?"

This sounds a bit familiar...

Lin Xian immediately felt happy.

Because when he was a child, he would always go to the waterside to find crabs. For their safety, adults and elders would lie to them and say that the cave was not a crab, but a snake.

Make sense. , Lin Xianxin thought it was true at the time.

But as he picked out crabs more and more, he discovered that crab holes and snake holes are completely different.

"First of all, crab holes are basically near the water. The soil is very moist, and there is even water in the holes. The snake cave is far away from the water source and the cave is very dry. Lin

Xian pointed to the mud hole and continued:"Secondly, due to the size of crabs, the holes they dig are generally flat." The snake hole is round"

"Understood!"

Mu Wanqing nodded and showed a smile.

Just now she was worried that there would be snakes in the cave.

Normally, she would not be afraid when encountering snakes.

But it was different in the mud cave. The key was to put her hand in......

Hiss!

Just thinking about it makes people get goosebumps.

At this time, Lin Xian had already knelt down. He rolled up his sleeves and slowly extended his right hand into the mud hole.

At the same time, he did not forget to explain to Mu Wanqing how to pick out crabs. Tips:"Sister, when picking out crabs, don't use separate fingers. If the crab tip is too big, it may pinch your fingers directly. So the best way is to put your fingers together and curl up slightly."

"This way, unless it's a coconut crab, it's impossible to get your palm caught."

Suddenly, Lin Xian raised his eyebrows, as if he touched something.

With the touch from his fingertips, he instantly judged that it was the carapace of a crab.

When picking out a crab with bare hands, do not hesitate, otherwise the crab will react After it adjusts its position, it will immediately launch a counterattack with its pair of large pincers. So after Lin Xian touched the crab, his slightly curled palms immediately opened up, grabbed the crab, and suddenly pulled it outward.

Crash!

With splashes of muddy water, he pulled a crab as big as an adult's palm out of the hole.

At this moment, Lin Xian pinched the crab's abdomen from behind and kept twisting and struggling. A pair of huge pincers couldn't stop it. Stopped waving.

Weighed the weight, it should weigh half a catty.

Looking at the crab's huge claws and fat body, Lin Xian couldn't help but swallow.

Winter has not yet come, so the crabs are still quite fat at this time.

Plus here It is an uninhabited land. Apart from natural enemies, these crabs grow almost wantonly, which is why they have such a huge size.

Seeing Lin Xian catch a big crab, Mu Wanqing on the side was eager to try.

In the past, camping was well prepared. Enjoy the scenery, set up the tent, and eat the compressed biscuits that I brought with me.

Although I also experienced nature, it always felt a little less interesting.

Now I am self-sufficient and find food and fresh water by myself. It is completely different from before. experience.

There is no comparison at all

……

After pulling out a piece of weed and tying up the crab, Lin Xian and Mu Wanqing continued looking for the crab hole.

Soon, Lin Xian relied on his rich experience to find a crab hole again.

It's just that the hole is much smaller and he can't put his hand in it.

Seeing this, Mu Wanqing volunteered:"Junior, let me do it!"

"good! Lin

Xian stepped aside and said with a smile,"Remember the techniques I told you and be careful.""

Crabs are very strong. If they are pinched, it will be very painful."

"I know!"

Mu Wanqing nodded and rolled up her sleeves.

After taking a deep breath, she slowly stretched her hand into the hole.

To be honest, it takes a certain amount of courage to pull out crabs. Because the hole was filled with turbid muddy water, no one could I don’t know what the situation is like in the cave, even if I know there are no snakes in it, I am still full of fear.

It is not because I am timid, it is a kind of human instinct.

In addition to being curious about unknown things, I will also be afraid.

This crab hole was obviously much deeper than the previous one. Mu Wanqing's entire forearm was completely trapped in the hole, but she still couldn't touch anything.

"ah!"

At this moment, Mu Wanqing let out an exclamation. She immediately retracted her hand as if she was electrocuted.

Seeing this, Lin Xian asked,"What's wrong?"

"Junior, didn’t you say there are no snake holes in the swamp?"Mu Wanqing said with lingering fear.

"No! Lin Xian said matter-of-factly.

When Mu Wanqing put her hand in just now, he clearly heard the sound of mud and water stirring.

Snakes are cold-blooded animals. When the weather is cold, they will not stay in caves with water at all. , because you will freeze to death.

Mu Wanqing frowned and said:"But I just touched something slippery and soft."
