Chapter 41 The Cage

When Liu Xinyu mentioned snakes, Chen Zhaodi couldn't stop everyone from changing their shoes.

Regardless of how much he gained last night, Liu Xinjian almost stepped on a snake when he was about to finish work.

If it weren't for Liu Xinyu's sharp eyes, Liu Xinjian would have been bitten by a snake.

Although Liu Xinjian is a boy with a lot of courage, he even played with snakes, but no one would like to be bitten by a snake.

After listening to Liu Xinyu's words, he didn't care whether Chen Zhaodi would object or not, he kicked off the broken plastic sandals on his feet without saying a word, and was the first to put on the rain boots.

He had long aimed at rain boots of his own size. Although they were just rain boots, they were shoes he had been thinking about for a long time.

Liu Houxing's rain boots are Liu Qingshan's old rain boots, because he accidentally scratched a small hole a few days ago, when he came over to make a cage in the afternoon, Liu Houxing brought them over and repaired the hole by himself.

When he went back to eat, Liu Xinyu didn't let him take it back, so it happened to be changed at this moment.

Of course, Liu Xinyu's small rain boots were given to Chen Zhaodi.

Chen Zhaodi put on her rain boots, walked back and forth a few steps, and stomped her feet lightly.

Hey, it really is all right!
After changing the rain boots, the group quietly left Liu Xinyu's yard.

Liu Xinyu took the lead, and the others followed suit.

Although she didn't have a flashlight, and Liu Xinyu's age was only a few days, but she has the memory of her original body and Liu Qingshan's inheritance, and she can clearly see where there are pits in the small streets of the village.

Leaving the village was very smooth, and I didn't meet a single person, only the vigilant local dog barked twice when he heard the movement.

Leaving the village and going straight to the river, no one spoke along the way, only the rustling of footsteps.

When approaching the river, Liu Xinyu stopped, took out a match from his pocket, and prepared to light the first torch.

Not only did I bring three torches today, but I even brought some kerosene in a bottle.

Although I tried it yesterday, a torch can be lit for at least one and a half hours, but today there are more things to do, and the time will be longer. In order to ensure the lighting, of course, we must think carefully.

Liu Xinyu had just polished the match and before he had time to light the torch, he heard a shout from the river ahead: "Who?!"

Oh my god!

Liu Xinyu's hand shook, and the match almost fell on her body. No matter who was standing beside her, she hid behind that person, her heart pounding and about to jump out of her chest.

Not only Liu Xinyu was frightened, everyone was frightened.

For a while, no one moved, no one made a sound.

The people by the river didn't expect that there would be no one to answer, and they came over here and asked again: "Who, why didn't you say anything?"

"Dad, it can't be a ghost!"

It wasn't just a man coming from the river.

"Second brother, stop talking nonsense!"

"What ghosts are not ghosts? Where do ghosts come from in this world? Ghosts are only in one's heart!"

"..."

At this time, everyone in the Liu family knew who was coming from the opposite side.

It's Zhang's father and son!
It's really scary and scary!

Liu Xinyu took out a flashlight from her bag and took a picture of her face.

"Oh... yes, it's a female ghost!" It should be Zhang Hongming's voice, which sounds distorted.

Without seeing the expression on his face, Liu Xinyu couldn't judge whether Zhang Hongming was really out of fear or deliberately teasing.

"What are you yelling for!" Immediately came Zhang Daniu's scolding.

Soon Zhang's father and son came to Liu's family. At this time, Liu Xinyu had put the flashlight back into the bag and lit the torch with a match.

Although Liu Xinyu's flashlight just shone at his face, Zhang Daniu had already seen Chen Zhaodi standing behind Liu Xinyu.

I thought there were only the grandparent and grandson, but I didn't expect to see so many members of the Liu family all at once, and all of them were carrying things on their backs.

Although Zhang Daniu is not as good at catching eels as Liu Qingshan, he has followed suit and learned to catch eels. Of course he knows what the Liu family's things are for.

"Is this your whole family dispatched to catch eels?" Zhang Daniu asked in surprise.

"Yeah, engagement is a matter between the two families, and everything cannot be done by the Zhang family, but with the situation in my family, there is almost nothing that can be dealt with. After a long discussion, I decided to come to the river to try my luck. Let's see if we can catch some rice field eels to add to our dishes." Liu Xinyu said with a faint smile.

"The second uncle and the second aunt are too particular! We had a good discussion about the engagement banquet yesterday, what food to add, listen to me, go back to sleep." Zhang Daniu reached out and snatched the bamboo basket on Liu Houxing's body, motioning to Zhang Hongliang Go pick up the eel cage on Liu Qingshan.

"Actually... it's actually me, I want to eat eels." Liu Xinyu lowered her head embarrassedly, "When my dad was around, I would take time out to put eel cages at this time of year..."

Although Liu Xinyu didn't finish his sentence, Zhang Daniu already knew that today's eel must be caught.

That being the case, since they met, no matter how much Zhang Daniu had on his mind, he couldn't just leave with his sons.

What Zhang Daniu didn't know was that the Liu family didn't want the Zhang family to join.

After being polite, Zhang Daniu left Zhang Hongliang and hurried away with his other sons.

Watching Zhang Daniu and his son leave, the Liu family reluctantly took Zhang Hongliang to the river.

Finding the most suitable water grass for the cage by the small river, Liu Xinyu instructed Liu Qingsong to put the prepared bait into the cage, then squatted down beside the water grass with a cage, and put the cage into the water while explaining.

"Is that all right?" Liu Qingsong asked with a frown.

That's it, isn't it too simple, can you catch the eels?
"I don't know if I can be caught or not. I won't find out until tomorrow morning. Anyway, that's how my dad released it." Liu Xinyu tied the long rope tied to the cage to a small tree by the river so as not to run away from the cage.

When Liu Xinyu was demonstrating, Zhang Hongliang listened and watched carefully. After Liu Xinyu put a cage in place, he followed Liu Xinyu's example just now, holding a cage and putting the bait in, and squatting down beside the water plants.

He planned to put one next to the cage that Liu Xinyu had put away, but after thinking about it, he felt that something was wrong. He raised his head to look at Liu Xinyu, meeting Liu Xinyu's teasing gaze, he paused slightly with his hands, and his face was slightly feverish.

Without Liu Xinyu opening his mouth, he already knew in his heart that he couldn't do this.

There should be a little distance between the two cages and they should not be next to each other.

Feeling embarrassed to look at Liu Xinyu again, he stood up silently and walked a few meters to the side, imitating Liu Xinyu's demonstration just now and lowering the cage. Zhang Hongliang didn't calm down until the rope was tied.

More than 20 cages were placed in no time.

Because it was the first time to release it, and for the convenience of coming to collect the cage in the morning, I didn't pull too far away.

There were more than 20 cages, and three adjacent aquatic plants were found.

After putting away the cage, the next step is to look for eels in the paddy fields as yesterday.

"Grandma, be careful, there's a snake here!" Liu Xinjian used the torch in his hand to set fire to the little snake on the ridge.

Chen Zhaodi was racking his brains to find a suitable reason to send Zhang Hongliang away, and Liu Xinjian's discovery gave him a logical reason: "Don't go there without Hong Liang wearing rain boots. How about this, please send Xinyu home first."

Anyway, Liu Qingshan and Liu Xinjian have already learned to use tools to pick up eels, and it doesn't matter whether Liu Xinyu is present or not.
