Chapter 441: Not a Wasted Trip
Chapter 441: Not a Wasted Trip
"Is Lai Fu going to say something?" Gu Qingming looked at Lai Fu's actions and guessed with an idea.
"Who would have known? We were just cutting sweet potatoes, and then Lai Fu jumped into the ditch, grabbed this thing in his mouth, and ran away. I didn't react at all. I was afraid that Lai Fu would eat something else, so I chased after him." Guozi said depressedly. There were still several sweet potatoes that had not been cut.
When I saw the sweet potatoes planted by the lady in the vegetable garden, I found that the roots and rhizomes they grew were much larger than those in the wild, so I wanted to find more to plant.
"This Lai Fu should take you to where you can find this thing." Uncle Tie looked at it for a while and said with a smile.
"You said so, Laifu."
"Wang!"
Lai Fu's reputation as a good finder in the village has spread, and everyone knows it.
"Really?" Guozi scratched his head and smiled awkwardly, thinking that Lai Fu was teasing them.
"Let's go, I'll go with you. This thing that looks a bit like a snake should be a good thing. At least it's a piece of meat." Uncle Tie picked up the thing on the ground and looked left and right. There was no scale on it and the surface was very smooth.
Although I don't know what it is, it should be a wild game, just like the crayfish that were rampant some time ago.
The four of them walked one in front and one behind. Uncle Tie held the remaining cage and followed Lai Fu, winding their way to a pond overgrown with weeds.
Lai Fu barked at the four people.
"The environment here is good. The weeds are perfect for the growth of small fish and shrimps." Uncle Tie couldn't help but sigh, with green shade and breezes blowing.
"But how can we catch him? There's no place to step here." Gu Qingming looked at the overgrown area with weeds and said with some difficulty.
"Boys, this place is not suitable for going into the water. Go back first and bring some bamboo cages here. I'll wait for you here." Uncle Tie didn't hear Gu Qingming's muttering. He shouted in a loud voice, instructing the three little kids, and then found a place to put the cages he brought.
Guozi saw what Uncle Tie did and thought this was a very good idea. He pulled Xiaoyu and ran home, "A Ming, hurry up, let's go back and get the cage."
Uncle Tie looked at the three people who ran away quickly, put his hands behind his back and smiled, walked to a pond with barely any weeds, took out a fishing rod, put some earthworms on it, and cast a cast.
……
"What are you doing? You look so anxious." Xu Zhi was digging sweet potatoes in the field. He looked up and saw Guozi and the others throwing the bamboo baskets on their backs to the ground. He asked.
Xu Qing, who was standing next to him, also looked up and was about to speak when Gu Qingming quickly replied, "Let's go back and get the cage. Lai Fu took us to a good place."
"Oh my, what is Lai Fu biting in his mouth? Is it a snake? It's so scary." Aunt Li exclaimed.
"It doesn't look like a snake." Xu Qing took a look and said.
"Mother, no need to say more. Grandpa Tie is still waiting for us."
"Slow down, you can't run away. Why are you so impatient? Come back early and don't play too long." Xu Qing warned.
The three people and the dog gradually ran away. The scene looked unexpectedly funny. The three boys looked like they were being chased by Lai Fu. Aunt Li couldn't help laughing when she saw it.
"Mom, what is this?" Li Junlan carefully looked at the thing that Lai Fu threw on the ground. Seeing that it was no longer moving, she picked it up curiously and asked.
"Oh my little ancestor, put it down. How can you be so brave as a little girl?" Aunt Li heard the shout and turned around. She saw that the thing was picked up by Li Junlan and placed it right in front of her. Her happy expression a moment ago changed instantly. She took a few steps back and waved her hands repeatedly.
This made Xu Qing and Xu Zhi burst out laughing.
Seeing this, Li Junlan smiled with a smile on her face, then threw the things in her hand back to where they were, grabbed a handful of yellow mud, and wiped off the stickiness on her hands.
"Cuixia, they are all dead, there is nothing to be afraid of, they are not delicious."
"It's not that I'm afraid. I just feel a little disgusting and uncomfortable all over. I hate those long, soft things the most. I get goose bumps all over my body when I look at them." Aunt Li replied after taking a deep breath.
"Where did those guys get these? There are all kinds of weird stuff."
"We have to wait for Yuan girl to come back and ask her. Maybe she will know the answer."
Speaking of making a wish, Xu Qing thought of his eldest son who had been away from home for a long time. Calculating the time, he thought they should be almost at Zhuangzhou City by now.
"By the way, why haven't I seen your eldest son for a long time since he came back? Where did he go?"
"Who knows? Ah Guang is now working under Magistrate Wu. Who knows where he might be assigned to work. The son has grown up and none of them are at home anymore."
Aunt Li wanted to find a marriage partner for her eldest son, but she couldn't find anyone to marry. How could she find a marriage partner? The thought of this made her very worried.
Xu Qing thought about it and nodded in agreement, wondering when she would be able to hold her grandson in her arms.
On the other side, the three people who got the cage and the fishing rod quickly returned to the place and put the cage in place under the guidance of Uncle Tie.
Many people exclaimed "Wow" repeatedly when they saw several river shrimps, all bigger than their fingers, in the wooden barrel that Uncle Tie had placed.
"Brother, Brother Ming, there are river shrimps here, the fishing rod is not brought in vain."
"Grandpa Tie, how did you catch it? I want to catch it too." Many people shouted loudly in Grandpa Tie's ear, very excited.
"Hahaha, how else can you fish? Just like fishing. That place is very humid and there are a lot of earthworms."
Uncle Tie pointed in the direction and said happily.
I originally wanted to kill some time while waiting for them to come, but I didn't expect to get such an unexpected gain.
In this way, the four of them spent the whole afternoon fishing for river shrimps until it was dark, the frogs in the pond began to call, and the mosquitoes, perhaps knowing that the mosquito repellent bags they were wearing had lost their efficacy, swarmed around and bit them. It was almost dark, and the four of them reluctantly carried the wooden buckets home, preparing to come back tomorrow morning to collect the cages.
As the sun sets in the west, the sky is stained with a layer of colorful morning glow. In front of the cave at the entrance of Hsinchu Village, a man and a cow appear out of thin air. They are Xu Wish, who had left the village a whole day ago.
Xu Yuan stretched his body, sat back on the ox cart, and drove Dahua home.
This trip was very fruitful, and the matter was resolved smoothly. Now all she had to do was wait and see. Those people actually wanted to get benefits and wanted to wipe out the whole village. It was really a mean act. She wanted to see who they were.
