C9 Digging Traps and Cutting Windows

It was a little dark, and the sun was setting in its usual twilight.

Lin Miaoting asked Lin Kaishan to lead them deeper into the mountain. When they reached an empty space, Lin Miaoting called for them to stop.

"Let's do it here. This place is relatively empty, so it's easier for daddy and brother to dig holes. This place is remote, so I don't think ordinary villagers will come here. This way, we won't have to worry about them falling into the holes or taking away our prey." Lin Miaoting pointed at the empty space in front of them and said excitedly.

Lin Kaishan looked at his daughter's happy expression and felt happy in his heart. He did not consider whether he could catch the prey and asked," Keer, how are we going to dig this pit? "

Lin Miaoting walked to the open space and pointed to the open space full of snow and said, "We need to clean up the snow first. Then we will dig two rows of pits, four on one side and three on the other. The positions have to be crossed."

To prevent her father and brother from not understanding what she was talking about, Lin Miaoting started to draw circles on the snow to indicate the position of the pits.

"Did you hear that?" Lin Zhize asked doubtfully. After all, most people rarely dig holes like this. Normally, people would just dig a big hole and cover it with some branches. It would not be as troublesome as his sister said.

"En, not only that. We also need to stick some sharp tree sticks in there. This way, if the prey falls into the hole, it will be pierced by the tree sticks and die." Lin Miaoting did not care about Lin Zhize's doubt. Instead, she said confidently.

In fact, she was not sure if she could catch the prey. It was just that there seemed to be such a method in the original book. Today, she tried it out.

Lin Kaishan and Lin Zhize were trying to coax the child to dig a hole according to Lin Miaoting's instructions, but they did not agree with her in their hearts. They all thought that the probability of catching the prey like this was relatively low. They just thought that today was just coaxing the child to play.

The sky had turned dark blue. Lin Miaoting ordered Lin Kaishan and Lin Zhize to find some dried branches to cover the seven big and small holes. In the end, they even covered it with a thin layer of snow.

"We will definitely catch the prey." Lin Miaoting was angry in her heart.

After everything was over, Lin Miaoting and the other two packed their things and chatted happily before going home.

When they returned home, Tang Xuemei had already prepared dinner. The family hastily ate a mouthful and then rested.

The ancient people did not have the concept of time. As long as they heard a chicken call, they would know that the next day had arrived. The sky was still blue. Lin Miaoting was carried out from under the covers by her mother in this world.

After a night, the fire in the stove pit had already been extinguished. Even though Tang Xuemei got up early in the morning to light the fire, there was still a trace of coolness in the house. Lin Miaoting who sat up unconsciously shivered and quickly took off the cotton-padded jacket that she had placed under the mattress last night and put it on.

"It's finally warmer." Lin Miaoting sighed.

Lin Miaoting put on her clothes and walked to the kitchen to look at Tang Xuemei with resentment. Other than the time she wanted to go to town the day before yesterday, she had never woken up so early in her transmigration memories!

"Today is 25. Your father and brother are going to your third uncle's house to line up early to grind tofu. After dinner, you still need to cut the window flowers with your mother. " That's why I have to get up earlier today. " Tang Xuemei explained to the girl as she busied herself. Why did she feel that after falling off the cliff, there were some things that she did not remember and she liked to sleep more and more?

"Eh? What the hell is with the window scissors?" Lin Miaoting was afraid that Tang Xuemei would be suspicious, so she guessed in her heart what a window cutting flower was. Could it be that modern cutting-paper that was already listed as a cultural heritage craftsmanship?

For breakfast, Tang Xuemei cooked a pot of rice porridge that could not be seen with a few grains of rice. There were five large crusted biscuits and a pile of pickled vegetables made from big radishes was placed on the table.

Lin Miaoting looked at the pitiful food for the past two days and wanted to take out the two taels of silver from her pocket several times to let her parents improve their food. In the end, she forcefully endured it.

After the meal, Lin Kaishan and Lin Zhize took some soybeans out to grind tofu. Tang Xuemei took out a few red papers and two scissors and placed them in front of Lin Miaoting.

"These pieces of red paper were brought over by your Aunt Hua yesterday. Do it gently."

Lin Miaoting knew that the Aunt Hua mentioned by her mother was her neighbor. It was said that Aunt Hua almost became Lin Kaishan's wife when she was young. In the end, she had to give up because of the wedding ceremony. After a long time, it passed. The two families were quite polite.

"Yes, I know." Lin Miaoting pretended to pick up a pair of scissors and a piece of red paper and gestured how to do it. Tang Xuemei had already cut out the rough shape of the scissors.

Lin Miaoting blankly looked at the half-finished product in her mother's hands, swallowed a mouthful of saliva at her throat, and secretly sighed in her heart, "She admires this technique!"

"What are you in a daze for? Quickly take a pair of scissors and cut the window flowers. Don't even think about getting past this year. You are all 12. In two years, you will be married. You don't even know how to cut the window flowers! "Who can marry you!"

Then I won't marry you and dad. " In modern times, when she was twelve years old, she was still in school.

"My mouth is full of trains." Tang Xuemei reproached her daughter.

"Look!" Tang Xuemei looked at Lin Miaoting and ordered. "Learn from your mother."

Tang Xuemei took the scissors and started to move. She cut the window flowers and did not forget to use her eyes to look at Lin Miaoting to see if she was slacking off. Just by looking carefully, one would notice that Tang Xuemei's movements were slower than before by more than a beat.

Not long after, Tang Xuemei cut a small doll with a fish shaped window flower in her arms. On the other hand, the window flower in Lin Miaoting's hands seemed to be like a fish.

Tang Xuemei looked at Lin Miaoting's window flower and shook her head helplessly. She could only sigh that her daughter's skills were getting worse and worse! On the other hand, Lin Miaoting at the side looked carefully and seriously at the window flower in her hand and was very satisfied in her heart.

She had never cut the window flower before, but she had actually cut a fish. Although her hair was not very good and her beard had been cut off by accident, at least she had a tail! The more Lin Miaoting looked, the more satisfied she became. The corners of her mouth curled into a smile.

Tang Xuemei looked at such a daughter and in the end, could only give up on her own daughter. Lin Miaoting was getting more and more energetic as she cut until Tang Xuemei could not continue watching. She coaxed Lin Miaoting to the side and gave two pieces of paper for her to play on.

Looking at Tang Xuemei who was having a lot of fun, she could not help but have some doubts in her heart. In the past, although her own daughter was not cut well, in the past, her daughter did not cut well. But at least the cut showed the basic shape, and now look at the window flowers in her daughter's hands, what they don't look like.

"Looks like I have to find time to teach my daughter properly." Tang Xuemei thought in her heart.

Lin Miaoting, who was very happy, did not know that she would spend the next long period of time bitterly practicing window cutting!
