Carry a fountain with you

Chapter 373 Superior Conditions
Seeing some old men coming, Liu Junhao quickly ran to the backyard to pick a big flower skin, and then ran out with a watermelon knife, ready to kill at any time.

Do it early and worry-free, these old people consume at least one watermelon every time they come, and he has formed a habit.

"Xiaohao, where are your two starlings?" Old man Wang shouted at the top of his voice.When the old man first arrived, he was full of problems, and he was out of breath when he walked.Now I have stayed in Liujiagou for a few months, and I have no more problems, and the more I live, the more energetic I am.I heard from Liu Guangju that he paid one year's rent at one time some time ago, saying that he was planning to retire here.

There are quite a few people who have this kind of thinking. Liujiagou Mountain is very beautiful, and there is no noise like that in the city.Although the old people cannot live with their children, so many people get together, the spiritual and cultural life is quite rich, and they can be considered happy in old age, and they don't feel lonely.

As soon as they arrived at the shore, those green villages immediately surrounded them with fluttering wings and looked at the old people helplessly, showing no fear of people at all.Qingzhuang has developed a habit, knowing that they will definitely have fish to eat when they come.

"I flew out early to play, do you have something to do with them?" Liu Junhao asked.

"No, didn't I just catch some caterpillars on the hemp leaves and wanted to feed them." The old man raised the hemp leaves in his hand and said, "It's because they don't have good food, I'll just use them as bait. These few What are the little guys doing, go play elsewhere, don't disturb our fishing."

"Grandpa Wang, we're fishing for rice field eels," Xiao Haoyu replied feeling his ass, and then fiddled around with the rice field eel hook.

"Use this to catch eels, can you kids do it?" When they heard about using eel hooks to catch eels, the old people gathered around and started discussing it.

To say that most of these old people had the experience of going to the mountains and the countryside when they were young, so they are not unfamiliar with eel fishing, and they have given advice to the little guys.

However, their opinions were at odds, Xiao Tongtong and the others became more and more confused the more they listened, and they didn't know who to listen to.

Several old men were so blushing and thick necked that they finally took over the eel hook from the children and started the eel fishing competition.

Xiao Jianhui and the others were completely dumbfounded. They knew that they were not showing off just now, and Liu Junhao also acted as a referee for them dumbfounded.Most of them are talking on paper, using fishing experience to apply fishing eel, their level is not very good.

However, there are too many eels in the ditch, so they can always hit the right one.After half an hour, except for Mr. Wang, the other three people had gained something.

"His ancestor, Xiao Hao, come here and see if this is a rice field eel hole. Why do I feel a bit evil, the rice field eel immediately turns into a bare rod when hooked down, and I don't feel anything eating the hook at all?" Mr. Wang said just now The experience is clear and clear, but I have the worst grades.He was naturally very depressed and immediately called for off-field support.

It shouldn't be, Liu Junhao was also puzzled.He heard it just now, as long as what the old man said was a little bit off, how come he couldn't catch eels.

Seeing that cave, Liu Junhao finally understood the reason.The general eel caves are connected to the water, but this one is different. It is isolated on the shore, forming a well-shaped deep cave as thick as the mouth of a teacup.

Although there is water in the hole, most people will definitely see it as an abandoned mouse hole.Liu Junhao doesn't think so. In fact, many eel caves are composed of an upper hole, two lower holes and a nest, so that they can escape at any time when they are in danger.

The upper hole is generally more than ten centimeters near the water surface, and its main function is to take a breath, while the lower hole is [-] to [-] centimeters deep underwater, which is used for predation and escape.Although this upper hole is a little far away from the water, it is not unusual.

"Let me see, you all stand back," Liu Junhao said, and then put an earthworm on the eel hook and put it back into the water.The steps of fishing eels are very similar to the four diagnosis methods of "look, smell, ask and cut" in medicine. This look is very important. First, carefully observe whether the surrounding of the hole is smooth, whether the water in the hole is moving after the eel hook falls in, and whether there is any water in the hole. Traces of eels entering and exiting.

He can see most of the eel holes at a glance, and some holes can be touched out by hand.Of course, the easiest thing is to find a place where there is a group of thin foam on the water surface, and there must be eel holes nearby.

The eel hole in front of me is very strange, and there are no traces at all outside the hole.But his intuition told Liu Junhao that there was probably a big guy hiding inside.Because the eels within three taels will leave mucus at the hole when they enter and leave the hole, so it is easy to distinguish the eel hole.The eels with more than three taels are quite cunning, and the holes are very clean, and the bigger the eels, the weirder the holes look.

Generally, it only takes a few seconds from biting the hook to swallowing the eel. Liu Junhao once set a record of catching three eels in ten seconds, and the eel would swallow the hook.

But those are small eels, they can't deal with big guys, they must have enough patience.The size of this kind of guy is not for nothing. They have more or less suffered from the eel hook, and they have a lot of experience in swallowing, so they only bite tentatively.

Xiao Haoyu and the others wanted to poke their heads out curiously, but Liu Junhao waved his hand to stop them.He gently pinched the umbrella bone with his thumb and index finger, only felt a slight tremor in his hand, and then there was no movement.

When the eel hook was lifted up, the earthworms on it disappeared completely.

Sure enough, he was a cunning big guy, Liu Junhao became more and more sure.However, this kind of rice field eel has experienced more risks and has become very sensitive, and will not easily take the bait. He is not fully sure to fish the rice field eel out of the hole.

"Since it's a field eel, it can't escape my grasp. Get out of the way, and I'll come in person." Mr. Wang said confidently.

Liu Junhao hastily abdicated to give way to Xian. It takes patience to fish for big rice field eels, and sometimes it may waste an hour, and one can only squat motionless at the entrance of the cave.In such hot weather, he didn't want to spend it there at all.

Hearing that there was a large field eel, several children squatted beside and watched excitedly.But only watching old man Wang keep changing the bait, but he never saw the eel take the bait.Gradually, Haoyu and the others became impatient and began to shift their targets.

"Xiaohao, are you sure there is an eel here? Why don't I feel like it?" Every time he pulled it up, it was empty, and Mr. Wang became confused.

"It's definitely a big guy," Liu Junhao replied with certainty.

"Really, why is it getting slower and slower to eat the hook? Look, I don't eat it now..." This time when the eel hook was pulled up, the earthworms on it didn't move at all.

"It's very simple. The eel is almost full. If you continue like this, it may not eat the hook." Liu Junhao is very familiar with this situation.The old man's level is so-so. If he wants to fight this kind of big rice field eel, his skills are still a little shallow.

"Why don't you try it, I'm dizzy from squatting." He finally couldn't hold on, threw the eel hook into the hole, ran to the side and gnawed on a piece of big flower skin.

"I don't want to either." Liu Junhao didn't have such thoughts at all.Dealing with rice field eels every day has already passed the age for him to enjoy fishing rice field eels.

"I'll try," Xiao Tongtong volunteered and ran to the water's edge.

"How about it, old man Wang, why don't you blow it?" Seeing him quitting early, Mr. Ma who was watching the excitement next to him said with a smile.

"Nonsense, I'm unlucky today. Wait until someday..." Old man Wang was about to say a few harsh words because the cooked duck meat was rotten, but there was a loud bang.

Xiao Tongtong suddenly yelled: "I got the bait, I got the bait, it's so big, Uncle Liu hurried over to help!"

Several people turned their heads to look, and they were all taken aback: My good fellow, that eel has been dragged to the entrance of the cave, and its head is bigger than a child's fist.

"Quick pull, quick pull!" Mr. Ma shouted hastily.

"Don't move," Liu Junhao stopped urgently, "Don't move, I'll do it." He took the eel hook carefully, and gently dragged it up.At this time, the speed must not be fast, otherwise it is easy to pull the eel's mouth into gaps, and then the eel will escape from the hook.

When the eel was pulled out of the hole more than ten centimeters long, his index finger, middle finger and ring finger were hooked, and he quickly clamped the body of the eel and dragged it out of the hole.

"Xiaohao, this rice field eel is bigger than the one in your backyard, isn't it a catty?" Seeing the huge monster on the ground, several old people couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Yeah..." Liu Junhao stretched out his hands and weighed it. It weighs two ounces a catty, and it has grown for at least five years.In fact, this one is not too big. Someone in Liujiagou once caught a fish that weighed two catties.However, people have been fishing more frequently in recent years, and large eels have become increasingly scarce.

"I caught it, I caught it, Haoyu, go home and get your camera, I want to take a picture." Xiao Tongtong kept yelling in front of others, afraid that others would not know that it was her fault.

Mr. Wang's face turned black, he was so depressed now, he knew he would have to hold on for another half a minute.This effort of turning his head became the honor of others.

It's just that he is five or sixty years old, so it's not easy to compete with a little girl.

"Tsk tsk, such a big piece, it will definitely taste delicious when it is burned at noon." After a while, a large group of tourists surrounded the wooden basin, and people kept taking pictures with cameras.

Now Liu Junhao is the focus here, as long as there is any movement, everyone in the whole village will know it immediately.

"Bad people, don't eat it." Xiao Tongtong burst into tears, saying that she wouldn't let anyone eat it.

"Then what are you going to do?" Professor Zhao asked back.

"I'm going to let it go later," the little girl thought for a while, and finally she decided to let it go.

This is very much in Liu Junhao's mind. There are fewer and fewer large eels, and it is only one that can keep one.However, Xiao Tongtong was inexperienced when pulling the eel hook just now, and the tip of the hook turned around just to catch the eel's lower jaw, which had already injured it, and it would definitely not survive if it was released directly.It's better to raise it in the yard for a while, secretly feed some spring water, and it's not too late to release it after the wound is healed.

Thinking of this, he suddenly thought of Shi Suo.I can take advantage of the superior conditions of Shisuo to create a few large eels, which can also create news.After thinking about it for a while, I gave up. The main reason is that the time is too long. The eels in the stone lock grow the fastest between one and three pairs, and then the growth rate will slowly slow down. It is not cost-effective in terms of cost.
