Reborn in the red years, I am farming in space

Chapter 5 Catching Eel All Night

In front of the stove, two thin figures, one big and one small, were stretched out.

Xiaocao held her chin and asked Luo Xuan, "Duoduo, after summer vacation, are you still going to study?"

There is a "junior elementary school" in the brigade, and a "senior elementary school" in the village. Luo Xuan is already 13 years old and can only go to the village to study in the fifth grade.

Below the 3rd grade, it is called junior primary school.

Luo Xuan sighed: "Let's talk about it when the time comes, I can't make the decision."

Luo Xuan will definitely let her continue to go to school!
This is what Luo Tiezhu, in front of the production team leader and neighbors, patted his chest and promised before his ex-wife died.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the Wang family will not be able to change the status quo for a while.

Luo Xuan grabbed the tip of Xiaocao's nose, "From now on, you have to learn how to read from your brother. Don't listen to your mother, she said that girls don't need to go to school, that's wrong."

"Ok!"

Xiaocao nodded vigorously: "I will always listen to Doduo from now on!"

The fire was raging, and the pot had already started to bubble, and bursts of complex food smells filled the whole bamboo shed.

He had already finished eating broad beans and dried sweet potatoes and grass, and stared blankly at the big iron pot with his eyes that were unusually large because of his thin cheeks.

But after all, she didn't dare to stretch out her hand to grab the pig food inside.

The pig food in the pot contains soybean flour, rice bran, dried sweet potato powder, fresh sweet potato leaves, and a small spoonful of coarse salt in it.

In fact, people can eat it too.

Especially for Luo Xuan who was in urgent need of nutritional supplements, the pig food in the pot was no worse than the usual meals he ate, and could satisfy his hunger.

But for these pig foods, before Uncle Zhou left, he would throw all the ingredients in and soak them.

then
In front of Luo Xuan, he would squirt some yellow and embarrassing old urine into it.

When the flying flow finished three feet straight down, Uncle Zhou said with a smile while fastening his trouser belt, "This is to add free salt to the pig feed."

Even Uncle Zhou urged Luo Xuan to follow suit: "You're a child, come and piss?"

Luo Xuan, who was looking directly, felt a chill.

The last time Xiaocao was greedy and wanted to grab pig food, but Luo Xuan severely scolded her.

Since then.

When Xiaocao came to the breeding room to look for Luo Xuan at night, she never reached out to the big iron pot again.

He got up and scooped out the pig food, added a few scoops of water, and then poured all the pig feed into the old sow's stone trough.

Check the clean water in the big iron pot again. If the iron pot is burned through, it will be a major liability accident.

The consequences will be severe!
Luo Xuan patted Xiaocao on the back.

"Come on, I'll take you back."

Luo Xuan pulled up his small arm that looked like grass and dry wood pitifully, "Come back tomorrow night, brother will give you candy."

"Really?"

Against the backdrop of the stove fire, Xiaocao's big eyes shone with fiery light: "Duoduo, do you have candy for Xiaocao to eat?"

"Have!"

Luo Xuan nodded firmly.

His body was getting weaker and weaker. If he didn't take any risks and make some preparations, Luo Xuan could be sure that he would be slowly dragged to death.

The moon is bright and clear, and the stars are like buckets.

Frogs croaked, crickets neighed.

The path in the production team is shining brightly in the moonlight, and there is no need to light a torch at all.

When she got home, Xiaocao stood on tiptoe and carefully moved the wooden window away little by little.

Luo Xuan was about to reach out to help, but was stopped by Xiaocao silently.

She picked up a wooden stick from under the window, put it on the dirt wall lightly, and then climbed up along the wooden stick.

Squatting on the wooden board of the window, Xiaocao waved goodbye to Luo Xuan, then pulled up the stick and put it into the room, and slid down the stick again.

The whole process is as light as a milk swallow and as sensitive as a civet cat.

Xiaocao has been doing this kind of thing for the past few days, and she is already very proficient at it.

After sending Xiaocao back, Luo Xuan returned to the breeding room.

Finding the dry bamboo pole that had been prepared earlier, Luo Xuan smashed one end of the bamboo pole hard, and made a simple torch again.

I had been out to catch eels for a while before, and the torch had already been burned out, so I had to make another one.

The weather is hot in summer.

At night, the eels in the paddy fields will come out of the soil to look for food.

At this time, the eel does not swim fast, and it can be easily caught with bamboo clips.

But the premise is that you have to have a lighting thing.

Don't think about flashlights, there are not many flashlights in the entire Hongxing Township, and they are all high-end luxury goods that can only be distributed by the on-duty personnel in the township office.

Lighting a torch, Luo Xuan walked towards the terraced fields in the valley again with a bamboo basket hanging from his waist.

Holding the torch in one hand, Luo Xuan waved a thin arrow bamboo stick with the other hand, constantly beating the weeds on both sides of the path.

Among these weeds, snakes are most likely to lurk in the summer night.

If you encounter non-venomous snakes such as black-headed snakes and cauliflower snakes, you can still give them extra meals.

But if you encounter copper coins, red snakes and the like, your life may be in danger.

"Grumble-"

Lifting up his trouser legs, Luo Xuan descended into the paddy field.

In this season, the rice is waist-high, and it is difficult to see the narrow water surface between the rice stubbles.

Luo Xuan could only bend down, brush the seedlings away with his hands, and search carefully with the help of the faint light of the torch.

There are tiny duckweeds covering the seedlings, which makes it even more difficult for Luo Xuan to find the eels.

Fortunately, there were no pesticides or fertilizers during this period, and there were a lot of mussels, snails, eels, loaches, and small fish and shrimps in the paddy fields.

As long as you go down to the paddy field, you don't have to worry about not getting anything.

On the distant ridge, Aunt Zhang who got up at night saw the torches in the rice field from a distance, and guessed that it was Luo Xuan catching eels.

In this season, there are very few people who come out to catch eels at night.

People in other production teams have hundreds of acres of rice fields in their own production teams.

I can't catch so many rice fields at home, so I rarely go to the rice fields of other production teams to catch eels.

After all, it is more at ease to catch fish on the territory of one's own production team.

6 There are only a dozen or so children in the production team, who are still busy outside in the middle of the night, and most of them are homeless Luo Xuan.

Aunt Zhang sighed: "You made a crime!"

Uncle Zhang's doubts came from inside the room: "What are you talking about? Who committed the crime?"

Aunt Zhang replied: "I reckoned that the person who caught the eel in the ravine was Luo Xuan. He went to the paddy field alone in the middle of the night, what if he fell in the paddy field, what would he do?"

Uncle Zhang also sighed, "Come back, I'll watch from the window. If the torch suddenly falls into the paddy field, something happened to Luo Xuan, so I can go and pull him up."

"You have to go to work tomorrow, don't you think it's okay if you don't sleep?"

Aunt Zhang walked into the house while fastening her trouser belt, "You sleep, let me watch him."

"Once this person has something on his mind, he can't sleep well."

Uncle Zhang smiled wryly, "Luo Xuan's mother is literate and kind. Zhao Mei has helped our family a lot before. I have to return the favor."

"Luo Xuan's former mother" in Uncle Zhang's mouth refers to Zhao Mei, Luo Xuan's former adoptive mother who has passed away for many years.

Zhao Mei used to be from the city.

Just after liberation, the state encouraged the urban population to go to the countryside to settle down and share land.

At that time, Zhao Mei's father was greedy to go to the countryside to settle down, so that he could get land and even a landlord's house, so he moved from the city to the countryside to settle down.

"Then I won't sleep either!"

Aunt Zhang leaned against the window, "The two of us took turns to watch, so that one of us would not fall asleep, and we wouldn't know anything happened to Luo Xuan."

then.

Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang were lying on the bed, staring at the torch in the rice field from a distance.

But Luo Xuan, who was busy catching eels in the paddy field, didn't know about it.

In the light of the fire, Luo Xuan saw a long dark object swimming faintly under the duckweed.

Luo Xuan quickly stretched out the bamboo clip in his hand, and clamped it tightly!

He lifted it up and saw that it was a aquatic plant with its roots cut off. It had been soaked in the water for a long time, and it was covered with green hairs. It looked similar to an eel in the water.

Secret curse!
Luo Xuan threw away the aquatic plants and bent down to continue searching in the water.

Soon, a field eel was caught by Luo Xuan.

It's just that the eel is too small, only as thick as a little finger, probably not enough for one or two.

This kind of eel couldn't be sold at a high price, so Luo Xuan put it into a bamboo basket and prepared to keep it in the space. He could either eat it himself, or dispose of it cheaply in the future.

After grasping for a while, Luo Xuan reaped a lot.

I have to say that there were so many catches in the paddy fields during this period!
In less than an hour, Luo Xuan caught two small crucian carps that were three fingers in size and two carp that weighed three or four.

There are also 8 eels and 3 loaches.

tired.

The paddy fields in Bashu Province are made of yellow mud, which will sink if you walk in it. In deep places, you can even sink into your thighs, making it very difficult to walk.

This made Luo Xuan, who was already in poor health, feel as if his body had been hollowed out, lazily losing much strength.

Dodge into space.

Luo Xuan poured the catch from the bamboo basket into a rough clay pot in the space.

Inside the clay pot was the catch that Luo Xuan caught two days ago.

not too much.

At that time, Luo Xuan's skills were not good enough. After two consecutive days of catching eels, he did not catch as many eels as he caught in one night today.

After pouring out the catch, Luo Xuan went to the spring in the space to bring some water, and continued to raise all the crucian carp, eel and loach.

Crucian carp and rice field eel are species that are difficult to die, and the spring water in the space is amazing.

Luo Xuan reckoned that if these things were kept in the space, even if they were raised for ten days and half a month, they might not necessarily die.

After drinking some spring water in the space, and lay down to sleep, Luo Xuan continued to catch eels.

Anyway, when I stay in the space, the time and space outside will pause, and Luo Xuan is not afraid of delaying time.

Luo Xuan was just afraid that he would not be able to get back what he wanted since he caught too few eels.

I can't let Xiaocao down, Xiaocao's looking forward to the eyes is too pure.

Heartbreaking.

Let alone let yourself down, if you don't get some foods rich in sugar and starch to nourish your body.

That would kill.
