Chapter 244 Digging Loach (22)

"Little brother, did you draw another picture?"

When the elder sister came back after sending the package, she saw Zhang Feng was framing a new painting, she took a rough look at it and asked with a smile.

"That's right, I saw everyone's autumn harvest at the entrance of the village today, and I thought the scenery in the rice fields was good, so I drew this painting. Sister, how do you see my painting?" Zhang Feng asked with a smile.

"Well, it's not bad, it would be great if I could draw so well!" The elder sister said enviously after seeing the autumn harvest picture in front of her face with an intoxicated look.

"Hehe, as long as you are willing to learn, I can teach you when I have time!" Zhang Feng smiled and knew that the eldest sister is a very serious person, as long as she wants to learn, she must learn quickly, but she can't reach her level. Not necessarily, this requires not only hard work but also a certain amount of talent. Of course, if the elder sister can have a golden finger like Zhang Feng, of course it will be fine.

"Forget it later..." The elder sister shook her head. Although she was envious of her younger brother's calligraphy and painting skills, she was only impulsive and soon calmed down. She felt that she didn't really like painting, but saw her younger brother's painting skills. Only then did I have the illusion of wanting to learn painting.

Zhang Feng smiled and nodded, knowing what the eldest sister was thinking, so he continued to mount the painting in his hand. After about 10 minutes, the mounting was finally completed. He found a space on the wall of the main room and nailed it. Zhang Feng hung this beautiful autumn harvest picture In the hall.

………………

In a blink of an eye, the next day will come
Today's weather is very good. Not only does it not have the aggressive scorching sun in the past, but it is very refreshing. For the villagers who are busy with the autumn harvest, cloudy days are the best weather.

"Little girl, are you ready? We're leaving!" After sending off the vegetable truck in the morning, Zhang Feng was free, so he carried a small bucket and a small hoe, and prepared to bring the little girl and the little duck Da Mao and the others went to the fields to play together, catching grasshoppers, digging loaches, and catching eels. It was very interesting to think about it.

"Sister Xiaoyue, hurry up... We've been waiting for a long time." The little kids had already run to the gate of the courtyard, shouting impatiently.

"Ah, what are you up to, I'll come when I put on my rubber shoes..." the little girl shouted loudly.

…………

"Hey! Brother, where are you going??" Walking to the door of the second uncle's house, the cousin was drying rice on the road, and asked curiously when he saw Zhang Feng leading a group of leather monkeys.

"We're going to dig loaches and fish eels in the fields. Would you like to go?" Zhang Feng smiled. The more people involved in such activities, the more lively they will be.

"Go, go! You wait for me..." Zhang Yi has been busy harvesting crops these two days, and he has no free time. He finally has time today, so of course he will not miss such an opportunity. I ran to the house, probably to pick up equipment.

"Come on, let's walk slowly, he will probably catch up in a while!"

"Let's go! Go play in the field!" The little guy jumped and jumped happily and ran out of the village.

Due to the large number of migrant workers in the village, many fertile fields at the entrance of the village have been deserted, and there is no one to cultivate and take care of them. The inside has also become a paradise for eels and loaches. Every summer and autumn, villagers dig loaches and eels inside. Half-grown children like it, and even the adults in the village will dig a few rice field eels and loaches to beat their teeth in their spare time.

Although there are eels in Zhang Feng’s backyard, and even more in the farm, what Zhang Feng experiences is not only the fun of playing in the wild, the joy of harvesting, but also the lively atmosphere of being with everyone.

……

Rice field eels and loaches are common small animals in paddy fields. In the past, people used pesticides and fertilizers unscrupulously, resulting in the near extinction of rice field eels and loaches in the fields.
Moreover, the villagers were generally very poor at that time, and there were many people digging eels and loaches in the paddy fields, which further led to a sharp decline in the number of eels and loaches. Knowing that after the new century, everyone’s living conditions have improved, and the awareness of ecological protection has become stronger. The disappearing eels and loaches reappeared in front of everyone, and now they are almost everywhere in the fields, and there is no risk of extinction.

Field eels and loaches are common aquatic animals, they usually live in the fields or in ditches, and they are all burrowing animals, hiding themselves in mud holes, leaving one or several exits outside for predation or arousing breathe.

Whenever they want to prey, they will hide at the entrance of the cave and carefully observe the movement outside. As soon as they encounter insects flying nearby, they will attack quickly and swallow the prey into their mouths like lightning.

Therefore, if you want to dig rice field eels and earthworms, you only need to find fresh caves and keep digging down in all likelihood. This is the simplest and crudest method.

Of course, rice field eels can also be caught, as long as small insects such as grasshoppers are tied with a thin line, and then put into the cave mouth of the rice field eel, if there is any movement, the rice field eels will be crawled out to check, and when they find that it is prey, they will bite the prey in one bite It was swallowed into the stomach together with the hook, but it was a pity that the mantis caught the cicada and the oriole, and they caught the prey and became human trophies.

"Everyone, be careful, don't dirty your clothes and pants, or your parents won't kill you when you go home!" Zhang Feng smiled and told the little kids.

"No way, my mother didn't kill me when I stained my clothes last time, she just slapped my butt twice." Xiao Shitou said sternly.

"Hee hee... Little Shitou is so interesting!" Zhang Yue said with a smile after hearing Xiaoshitou's childish answer.

"You little guy, remember not to get dirty, or I won't take you out to play next time!" Zhang Feng couldn't help but smiled and said.

"Understood, madman..." The little ones replied with a smile, not sure whether to let it go or not.
Zhang Feng shook his head, carried a hoe and a bucket and began to search for eels and loach caves in the paddy field.

Huh!there is a hole here

A few seconds later, Zhang Feng finally found a suspicious cave. Zhang Feng took a look and knew that there must be goods down here, because there were fresh traces at the entrance of the cave.

So Zhang Feng raised his hoe and started digging. After digging about [-] to [-] centimeters, he finally found it. A rice field eel as thick as a thumb appeared in front of Zhang Feng. Well, with the first harvest, Zhang Feng finally showed a smile on his face.

"Brother, did you dig it?" The little girl was fishing for eels not far away, and asked curiously when she saw the movement here.

"Well, we dug up a rice field eel!" Zhang Feng smiled and looked for the suspicious cave again.

"Oh, let me see..." The little girl put down the hook in her hand and ran over quickly.

"Brother Crazy, we want to watch it too, we want to watch it too..." At this time, the little brats ran over to watch the fun like they were watching a Western scene.

"What's so interesting about these guys!" Zhang Feng handed them the keg, and seeing the joyful looks of the little guys, he shook his head with a smile.
