Nongmen sisters and brothers are not simple

Chapter 49 Catching the Eel Frog

At two quarters of Xu time, it was already dark.

Xie Fanxing and his brother had already finished their dinner, and they were planning to go to the paddy field to catch eels.

The three brothers, Xie Fanxing, each held a torch, and each had a waist basket hanging around their waists, which was used to hold eels and frogs later.

Fan Yang, who was walking ahead, also held a long fishing net in his hand, which was used to catch frogs.

The night was dark, with crickets whispering and frogs croaking.

At this time, Xie Fanyue was not afraid of the dark night and the snakes that might appear. Instead, she had never caught eels and frogs, and she was a little excited.

I wish I could catch frogs and eels now.

"Sister, there's a rice field eel coming out here." When the three of them came to the field ridge, Xie Fanyue saw a rice field eel coming out next to the paddy field. She was a little excited to pick it up with bamboo tongs, and said hello Xie Fanxing.

Without exception, the eel was retracted into the hole, and the eel was supposed to be quiet, but Fanyue shouted so excitedly.

"Fanyue, not only must the eel be fast and precise, but also be able to make a sound. Otherwise, if there is any trouble in the eel, it will be scared and shrunk back into the hole. Fanyang, I will lure this eel out. You can watch the timing Catch it." Xie Fanxing had been prepared for a long time, she took out a fishhook made of bamboo, and hung earthworms on the hook.

Xie Fanxing held the fishhook and placed it next to the eel hole, and moved the hook from time to time. The eel in the hole thought it had food, and the eel slowly poked its head out.

As Xie Fanxing slowly pulled the hook away from the eel hole, the eel slowly moved away from the hole.

When Xie Fanyang saw this, the bamboo tongs in his hand clamped the rice field eel as quickly as lightning, then swung it to the left, and threw it directly into his elder sister's waist basket without any mistakes.

"It's amazing, Fanyang, your level is really accurate. After the second sister sees that you have almost practiced bow and arrow, you can go up the mountain to hunt some prey and come back to give us a tooth sacrifice." Xie Fanyue saw Fanyang clipping the eel and throwing it into the waist basket level, she marveled.

"That's up to you to say. Second sister, there is a snake behind you." Xie Fanyang showed complacency on his face, and a bad thought flashed in his eyes. He pointed to Xie Fanyue and said there was a snake behind him.

"Ah! There is a snake, where is it?" Xie Fanyue jumped up when she heard it, grabbed Fanyang's shoulder, and stretched out half of her head to look at the place where Fanyang pointed to the snake.

However, not only did she not see the snake, but she also heard Fanyang's laughter, and Xie Fanyue knew that she was being tricked by Fanyang, so she slapped Fanyang angrily.

It's just that Fanyang dodged it lightly.

"Okay, you two, stop fighting. This is next to the field ridge. If the rice seedlings of the villagers' homes are trampled to death, it will be difficult to explain to the villagers. Do you still want to eat spicy eel and perilla frogs.

If you want to, stop making trouble, and get serious about catching ricefield eels. "Xie Fanxing saw Fanyue and Fanyang chasing and fighting on the ridge of the field. It would be a trivial matter to fall down. It would be hard to explain if the rice seedlings in the paddy field were trampled to death. Xie Fanxing quickly stopped Fanyue and the two of them. There is trouble.

The ancient paddy fields did not use chemical fertilizers and pesticides to kill insects, so the current eels are not big, but there are many rice field eels wandering in pairs in the paddy fields or in the nearby canals.

Along the way, Fanyang picked up a lot of eels with bamboo tongs.

Even Fanyue clipped a few of them.

"There's a frog, I should be able to catch it this time." Fanyang heard the cry of the frog right next to his ears, and when he saw that the frog was not far from their siblings, Xie Fanyang turned around quickly, put his fingers on his lips, He made a silence gesture to his eldest sister and the others.

After walking more than half a circle, they didn't catch a single frog. Either the frog was too far away to catch it with a salvage net, or it had escaped.

At this time, seeing the frog was very close to him, and he could clearly see the frog's abdomen bulging and calling, how could Xie Fanyang let the frog go.

Xie Fanyang took the long salvage net in his hand, and put it on the frog directly, and then he pulled the rope on the bamboo pole.

The triangular hat on the top was immediately put away, and when Xie Fanyang slowly brought up the salvage net, he saw something bumping around in the triangular hat of the salvage net, and at a glance, he knew that the frog had been caught.

Xie Fanyang grabbed the frog from behind the three-cornered hat in one go, and put it in the waist basket around his waist.

"There are a lot of croaking frogs in the paddy fields, but it's too dark to see clearly, and some of them can't be caught at a long distance. It's a pity." Xie Fanyang let a frog escape by mistake, and he said with regret on his face.

"Tonight we focus on catching eels. The frogs are just caught by chance. It's okay if we can't catch frogs tonight. Aren't Fan Wen and Fan Ri idle?
Sister Ming'er taught them how to catch frogs, and they could catch a lot of frogs.Fanyue, come over here. "Xie Fanxing was talking, and suddenly she saw Fanyang running forward, squatting down, grabbing something with her bare hands, and seeing a water snake out of the corner of her eye, she was afraid that Fanyue would be afraid, so she hurriedly told Fanyue to turn around Come over.

"Sister, what's the matter." Xie Fanyue turned her head, still a little confused.

"It's okay, just in case you see what you're afraid of, turn around after Fanyang has dealt with it."

"Snake." Fanyue asked tentatively when she heard that it was something she was afraid of.

"Well, Fanyang has caught it, and tomorrow we can have an extra dish to eat, and sister Minger will make snake soup for you to eat."

"Snake soup, I dare not eat this." Fanyue shook her head repeatedly when she heard about eating snakes.

"The relationship is better. If one person eats snakes less, I can eat more. If I meet a few more snakes, I will catch them and fry them all." Xie Fanyang has eaten snakes before, so I don't want that taste. Great, if his elder sister made the snake soup, it would be even more delicious.

Thinking of this, Xie Fanyang wished that a few snakes would appear on the spot immediately, and let Minger and the others have extra meals.

Not to mention, although the grain output in Shangou Village is not high, there are many wild vegetables and wild prey, and the products are various and complete.

The three Xie Fanxing siblings only walked around half of the paddy field and came down with no less than seven catties of rice field eels.

This is the first time for their siblings to catch eels. Their hands are unfamiliar, and they haven’t found the skills and sense. When they caught the eels, they were better escaped. When they come back next time, they can probably catch more eels.

However, these eels did not take contraceptive hormones, and they were not very big. The largest one was only the size of an adult pinky finger, and the smaller ones were even smaller.

However, smaller eels are also good, it is better to let Xie Fanxing make plate eels to eat, it seems that their siblings want to eat eels in the future, so they can go to the field ridge at night, catch some eels and eat them back.

As for the frogs, few were caught, and only a dozen or so were caught, barely enough to make a meal.

Seeing that it was getting late, Xie Fanxing took his younger siblings to evacuate and go home.
