NovelEnglishChapter 778: Making A Fish Cage
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Dan poked the pink earthworm with a small wooden stick. He could not hide the joy in his eyes. With bait, the probability of catching fish would increase greatly.
If he could catch fish and use the fish’s internal organs as bait, he could catch more fish. The previous fish trap had been washed away, so they had to think of a way to make another trap.
Sharon, Melinda, and the others were about to return to the camp with their gains, but they saw Dan and Shane by the stream.
“Look at our gains today,” Melinda shouted at Shane and the others. She excitedly held the banyan fruits wrapped in her clothes and showed it to them.

“This is called Banyan fruit. It tastes pretty good,” Melinda replied.
“There’s enough for us to eat for a while,” Dan said with a smile. He saw that Sharon and Melinda had picked a lot. Even Melissa had picked a lot and was holding it in her clothes.
“What about your gains?” Melissa asked impolitely. She naturally felt that the girls’ gains were not bad and that the two boys should perform better.
“We originally wanted to look around and see if we could catch more crabs and fish, but the efficiency of catching them with our bare hands is too low. Moreover, we still need luck. We have to think of other ways,” Dan said with a frown. The two of them, as men, had not gained as much as the girls today. Dan felt a little upset.
“Dan found the earthworms just now. We thought that we could use the earthworms as bait to catch fish.” Shane felt that this method was feasible, but he hadn’t thought of how to do it. After all, although they had bait, they didn’t have a fishing rod, and their original fish trap had been destroyed.
“We can make a fish cage. This way, we can place the bait inside and increase the probability of success.” Sharon recalled her experience when she was young and interacted with her neighbor’s grandfather. He knew a lot and had taught her a lot.
Dan wrapped the earthworm in leaves and wrapped the grass rope around it a few times to prevent it from opening up. He held the grass rope like he was holding a small dumpling.
Soil moisture levels increase after rain, as hypoxic earthworms tend to climb out of the ground to breathe fresh air.
Shane caught two more earthworms nearby. He imitated Dan and wrapped the earthworms in leaves, tied them with grass, and knotted them. Then, he poked a few small holes in the leaves. He leaned closer to smell them and quickly moved them away.
“But how do we make a fish cage? Do you know how to do it?” Shane asked. He had only seen it online, but he had never come into contact with fish cages.
Sharon frowned slightly and said, “When I was young, I had watched my neighbor weaving fish cages.”
“That’s great. Do you still remember how to make it now?” Shane asked. He didn’t expect Sharon to know so much.
“I roughly remember. I’ll try to make a small one and see if it works,” Sharon said as she scratched her head. She only roughly remembered, but she still planned to give it a try.

“I have to find some more tree vines.” Sharon saw that there were more tree vines nearby. In the wild, tree vines were natural ropes. Many tree vines were sturdy and durable, and they were perfect for weaving fish cages.
“There are some tree vines over there.” Shane walked over and pulled off some tree vines.
Sharon stuck a few branches into the ground and sat on the ground. She rolled up her sleeves and prepared to start weaving the fish cage.
The others couldn’t help much, so they continued to look for earthworms by the stream that could be used as bait.
The sun was about to set when Sharon’s fish cage was finally completed.
Melinda had picked a lot of nectar from nearby. Seeing the fish cage Sharon had woven, she put down the coconut shell in her hand and praised, “Wow, Sharon, you’re too awesome. You’re simply my idol!
Sharon stood up and stretched her body. She massaged her back and stretched out her hands to take a look. There were blisters on her palms. “I’m finally done.. “
