Chapter 21: Mother Bear Digs a Pit Because there were a few heavy rains some time ago, the water level was raised, and the river became very cool.
At this time, it is a hot summer, and the temperature in the north is not too high, but under the scorching sun, it is 278 degrees.
In addition, Ye Qingshan's thick bear hair has an excellent thermal insulation effect, and the temperature in his body is even higher, and the temperature in his body is too high, which is a very dangerous thing for any living being, and the mild ones will fall into a coma from heat stroke, and even die of shock in serious cases.
Therefore, the cool river water is not only a rare enjoyment for Ye Qingshan, but also an indispensable necessity for life under the scorching sun.
And often soaking in the water, Ye Qingshan's hair quality is also better.
In short, after some tossing, Ye Qingshan's whole body was already wet by the river, and without the decoration of bear hair, Ye Qingshan's thin body was visible at a glance.
Thin!
Really skinny!
As a bear, the figure that Ye Qingshan has now is really a failure.
Brown bears, which are normally about the same size as Ye Qingshan, even if they don't have salmon as their main food source, but at this time, they have almost begun to accumulate fat.
It's not that Ye Qingshan has no fat on his body, it's just that this fat content is too little compared to Ye Qingshan and his kind!
However, Ye Qingshan believed that his good days were coming soon.
Some time ago, especially when he had just come out of the tree hole with Mama Xiong, Ye Qingshan was too weak, so weak that he couldn't survive in this forest at all.
There are wolves, snakes, and perverted male bears who like to kill cubs.
Ye Qingshan didn't live for three days without Mama Xiong, not only because there were too many unfavorable external factors, but also because Ye Qingshan wanted to survive at the beginning, so he had to rely on Mama Xiong's bear milk to maintain his life.
But now it's different, as Ye Qingshan's size gets bigger and bigger, his food sources will also increase, and Ye Qingshan can also compete with the unfavorable factors of nature.
And with his own human wisdom, many hunting techniques will bloom into a wonderful chemical reaction when combined with Ye Qingshan's brute strength as a brown bear!
The sum of the two is not simply one plus one equals two, and when human intelligence and brown bear physique come together, the final effect is quite terrifying.
It's like now, Mama Bear has been fishing all morning, not to mention that she has consumed a lot of physical energy, and most importantly, Mama Bear has actually caught seven or eight fish.
The number is not small, and some people don't have seven or eight fish a day.
But the problem is that considering that there are at least tens of thousands of fish in this river, which is no more than 100 meters wide, Mama Xiong's harvest really can't be said to be much.
As for Ye Qingshan?
After a busy morning, after driving the fish to their designated positions, it is time for the harvest season.
Looking at the prey that panicked under his own drive and finally fell into his trap, Ye Qingshan was very happy.
Wielding a wet bear paw, he blocked the water inlet of the gourd pit with a stone.
Looking at the silly fish looming in the muddy gourd pit, Ye Qingshan was very happy.
It's not fish, it's food!
It is the cornerstone of your own growth!
The gourd pit is not big, the innermost round pit is only five meters in diameter, and the water depth is only half a meter, compared to the river with a width of nearly 100 meters outside, the space inside the gourd pit is too small, and in such a narrow place, there are at least twenty or thirty fish.
Why are fish so hard to catch?
The main reason is that in the water, the speed of the fish swimming is too fast, and the space that can move is too wide, and the fish scales and the mucous membrane on the fish scales are very smooth and easy to get rid of, so it is very difficult for normal people to go into the water to touch the fish.
Especially on such a wide river, catching fish with bare hands is almost an impossible task.
However, if the fish is confined to a narrow place, the fish will not be able to exert its speed and will not be able to escape quickly in a short time, and it will be much easier to catch the fish in the end.
Twenty or thirty fish, Ye Qingshan couldn't tell what kind of fish it was, but anyway, since it was a fish, it meant that the other party had a lot of protein and fat, and Ye Qingshan didn't care what kind of fish it was.
It's okay to be able to eat, and to be full.
The first harvest, there were a total of thirty-one fish, Ye Qingshan ate seventeen in this meal, all of them were fish with a length and width, more than a catty, and the remaining fourteen were small fish Although Ye Qingshan was also caught, Ye Qingshan did not eat them, but threw them into the river outside.
At noon, Ye Qingshan, who had a rare full meal, rarely did not ask Mama Xiong to drink milk.
Seventeen fish, according to the minimum standard of one catty, Ye Qingshan also ate at least seventeen catties of fish meat this meal, but don't forget that such a big river, it is impossible for all of them to be about one catty of fish, one or two catties, two or three catties of fish are not a few.
So strictly speaking, even if the fish scales and internal organs were all removed, Ye Qingshan would have eaten at least twenty catties of fish.
Basking in the afternoon sun, Ye Qingshan lazily lay on the shore to rest, the breeze blowing Ye Qingshan's face, feeling the warm feeling of fullness in his stomach, and the feeling of fullness that he had not experienced for a long time, Ye Qingshan was very satisfied.
In the evening, under the strange expression of Mama Xiong, Ye Qingshan once again caught more than 20 fish, and once again had a beautiful and full meal.
As for Mama Bear?
Mama Bear is very hungry, although the fish in the river is very rich, but after all, it is not the season for salmon migration, and the river is far from reaching the time when the fish are at their richest.
You know, during the salmon migration period, at least half of the entire river is covered by salmon, and to put it mildly, a mother bear can trample one or two fish to death by stomping her feet.
So it's not so much that brown bears are fishing during the salmon migration season, but it's actually better to pick up fish and eat them.

This leads to the fact that the current mother bear fishing is very imposing, but in fact, there are not many fish that are actually caught, and it is often only successful once in seven or eight times.
Moreover, this way of fishing is very physically demanding, and even if it is caught, it can only maintain the most basic food and clothing, and it cannot satisfy the huge appetite of Mama Bear at all.
So when she saw her son who could catch fish and eat enough to eat "nonsense", Mama Xiong's mood was very complicated, but she was more emotional, and her son had grown up!
At the same time, Mama Bear couldn't help but start thinking, should I try it too?
Mama Bear is not a particularly old-fashioned and cute brown bear, although she is not as intelligent as humans, but in the face of the temptation of food benefits, Mama Bear feels that she has to do something.
So for the second time, after Ye Qingshan woke up in the morning, he was shocked to find that Mother Xiong was actually burying her head in digging a pit, which made Ye Qingshan cry and laugh.
It's not because Mama Xiong is imitating herself, in fact, Ye Qingshan knows very well that the relationship between himself and Mama Xiong is both prosperous and lossy.
When Mama Bear is strong, she can safely survive the dangerous cub period, so Ye Qingshan has no disgust at all for Mama Bear imitating herself to dig a pit, on the contrary, Ye Qingshan supports Mama Xiong to learn this way of digging pits and fishing.
Because according to the current conditions, digging a pit and fishing by changing the surrounding environment is the easiest and fastest way to increase fat.
The reason why Ye Qingshan couldn't cry or laugh was because although Mama Xiong was imitating herself digging a pit, in fact, Mama Xiong's imitation had no effect at all.
First, before digging the pit yourself, you should survey the geographical location.
The same is digging a pit, digging the wrong place, and the final effect will be very different.
The pit dug by Ye Qingshan is a gourd pit, which is dug against the flow of the stream, and the mouth of the gourd is facing the direction of the river, and there will be a steady stream of river water pouring into the trap, so even if Ye Qingshan does not drive away the fish, there will definitely be stupid fish swimming into his trap with the current in the end.
On the contrary, Mother Bear digs a hole along the river, and this kind of trap will not swim into even a stupid fish, because it is a pool of stagnant water.
In addition, Ye Qingshan's gourd-shaped trap has two pits, one large and one small, the big pit is for fishing, and the small pit is for preventing fish from escaping.
Mama Bear also dug two pits, but these two pits are the same size.
Last but not least, the gourd mouth of the gourd pit dug by Mama Xiong was not cleaned up, and Ye Qingshan could even see that there was a layer of white and delicate sand and stone on the mouth of the trap arranged by Mama Xiong.
In general, unless the fish is stupid and can fly, it will definitely not go into the trap of Mother Bear, but one thing must be admitted, Mother Bear's strength is much stronger than herself, and it took her half a day to dig a gourd pit, but it only took an hour for Mother Bear to dig two round pits with a diameter of ten meters.
This made Ye Qingshan have to sigh, Mama Xiong's strength is really terrifying, this speed is comparable to an excavator!
As for the final result?
Mama Xiong herself is full of confidence, she is digging pits, and the pits she digs are bigger and deeper than her son, how can she not catch fish?
As for Ye Qingshan?
He could only sneer on the sidelines.
