Jiang Hu felt playful, so he grabbed a vine from nearby and quickly wove it into a simple bamboo basket. He caught a basketful of little crabs; the largest one was only the size of a tea bowl, while the smallest were as tiny as two fingers.
Xiaomi also wanted to catch crabs, but she was too short. She could stand at the edge of the pond, but if she bent over, her face would go into the water.
Finally, she just held the small bamboo basket and watched her father catch crabs from the shore. Whenever he caught one, she would excitedly run over to let him put it in the basket and secretly caught a few small ones to put into her space.
She knew how to differentiate male and female crabs by looking at their bellies, and she believed if they were raised in her space, they could definitely reproduce.
In the end, they caught half a basket, and as the sun began to set, Jiang Hu finally came out of the pond.
