Golden Fishing Village

June is not the season for eating crabs. Everyone at the seaside knows that eating crabs requires gold, nine and silver.

But those who are familiar with freshwater crabs know that there is one kind of crab in June that is the most delicious, and that is June yellow, young-toothed freshwater crab.

At this time, the freshwater crabs are in the initial stage of shelling of the year. The crab shells are still a little soft and their hair is sparse. Although neither male nor female has crab paste, they eat desperately and store the full crab roe in their bodies in order to shed their shells. Plump and soft, it becomes sizzling and oily when steamed.

Young tooth crabs are very smart. They know that their defense is not strong enough at this time and they are easily preyed on, so they will work hard to burrow into the sand. Only when the water dries up can they be easily caught.

As soon as the water in Houloumen Village dried up, Lao Ao took the bucket and ran to catch river crabs.

Some people in the village have already started fishing. The fishermen have a strong sense of territory and clan. The entire section of the river has dried up. Some sections are not in the village, but they are still regarded by the villagers in Houloumen as their own village's territory, and no one from outside the village is allowed to go there. Pick up the catch.

Now that the river is dry, it's really picking instead of fishing. It's easy to get fish, shrimps and crabs.

Ao Muyang arrived on a mountain bike. There were people tugging at the river section, and some men at the back door shouted loudly: "Do you have any conscience? The river in our village has dried up, and the crops in the fields cannot be watered. The rice is almost dry, why are you here to snatch our fish?”

Some people from outside the village said dissatisfiedly: "This section of the river is not in your village, and you didn't release the fish. How come it belongs to you?"

Fu Guozheng, the village party secretary at Houloumen, was squatting on the bank smoking. He was an acquaintance with Ao Muyang. When he saw Ao Muyang arriving on a motorcycle, he stood up and said with a smile: "Hey, Captain Ao, what are you doing here?" ?”

Ao Muyang said with a smile: "Come here and get some river crabs to try. It's delicious."

Fu Guozheng said: "If you want to eat, let me know and I will send it to you. Why are you dragging your family here?"

There was Ao Muyang on the motorcycle. In front of him was the general, and behind him were the Lang brothers. The head of state and Youfu were squeezed between them. The queen also fell on the front of the motorcycle. There were seven people sitting on the narrow mountain motorcycle, like gourd babies. Yes, seven melons on a vine.

Ao Muyang turned to look at them. The little guys kept licking their mouths with their tongues, looking very innocent.

"You can do your own thing by yourself. You can make enough food and clothing by yourself. I'd better find it myself." He said with a smile.

Of course, Fu Guozheng would not stop him from picking up fresh fish from the river. Not only did he not stop him, but he also came up to chat with him: "Hey, Captain Ao, have you heard that Shuangliugou in Dongyang District is haunted by a few people who are not doing their jobs properly?" The bastard was taken care of by the devil."

Ao Muyang rolled up his trouser legs and said, "It's definitely a lie. How can there be ghosts in this world?"

Fu Guozheng said confidently: "I have inside information, because my wife's family is in Shuangliugou, and my husband-in-law also went to fight the fire. Oh, there was a fire in a breeding pond over there. They went to put out the fire and found a few people who were scared. Stupid bastards. It is said that these bastards usually do all kinds of evil, stealing chickens and dogs, and even stole money from dogs who were killed by cars and blackmailed, but this time the evil was rewarded..."

"My husband-in-law said that the one who teased them was a water ghost. They had this water ghost there before. She was a very ferocious female ghost. She was forced by her evil mother-in-law to commit suicide by diving into the water. After a few years, she came out to cause trouble. field……"

"A few years ago, a master came to the village and said that this female ghost had become a climate, so he built a Bagua array to suppress her. This Bagua array was announced to the outside world as a breeding farm. Last night, the breeding farm was burned down, and the ghost immediately came out. "

Ao Muyang's face was dull when he heard this, and he said: "If this female ghost specializes in making trouble for bad people, that would be pretty good."

Fu Guozheng scratched his ears and said, "How could a ghost come in separate groups? I guess these gangsters were unlucky and somehow managed to occupy the Bagua sealing formation. As a result, they managed to survive and even caused a fire. No, Bagua When the formation breaks, the female ghost appears!"

At the end, he also told Ao Muyang: "This is all my exclusive inside information, please don't spread it to the outside world. People from the National Bureau of Paranormal Investigation are over there now, and there is a hush order from above."

Ao Muyang said helplessly: "Lao Fu, have you watched too many ghost movies?"

Fu Guozheng was dissatisfied and said, "Forget it if you don't believe me. I'm telling you this to be careful. People have drowned in this river, so be careful about encountering water ghosts."

Seeing that Ao Muyang was not interested in the topic of hauntings, he left with a cigarette in his mouth and found someone else to put on an enigmatic face: "Do you know anything about Shuangliugou in Dongyang District? I have exclusive inside information..."

The river is narrow and full of mud. There is still water in some pits. Some small grass carp, small crucian carp and sand crawlers are swimming carefree. They don't know that the end has come.

Ao Muyang stretched out his feet and stepped in the mud. Someone next to him laughed and said, "Director Ao, what are you doing, stepping on river clams?"

His titles are very confusing now. The village cadres call him Captain Ao, some call him Village Chief Ao, and some call him Director Ao, because he is actually the village director of Longtou Village.

Faced with the friendly ridicule from the villagers, Ao Muyang responded with a kind smile: "Let me see if I can step on an eel."

The villager said: "Hey, our small river cannot support big eels. At most there are a few loaches. But the golden eels in your Ambergris Lake are great. I ate one. It was really exciting."

After chatting casually for a while, Ao Muyang discovered that there were small holes in the mudflat by the river. From time to time, bubbles bubbled out of these holes.

Seeing this, he concluded that this was a river crab nest.

River crabs are not as cunning as mantis shrimps, and they don't know how to play the trick of burrowing in three places. They dig a hole and stay in it. Because they crawl very fast, it is not easy to catch them.

You can't deal with small river crabs by digging holes, because the shells of river crabs are too soft, and they may be broken while digging. You have to fish to catch river crabs.

Ao Muyang took out a soft iron wire, tied a piece of chicken intestines at the end of the wire, and then slowly stuffed it into the hole.

River crabs need a lot of nutrients to change their shells. At this time, they have a fierce appetite and will not let go of anything they see.

The iron wire was tentatively put into the hole. After a while, he felt that the iron wire was pulled by something. Seeing this, he immediately dragged the iron wire out, not hurriedly or slowly.

When the iron wire was dragged out, the river crab came out. A river crab the size of a walnut used its claws to clamp the chicken intestines tightly.

Ao Muyang put the crab and the chicken intestines into the bamboo basket he brought with him. He let the crab have a good meal before dying. Old Ao was a kind person.

The crab looked very happy when it entered the bamboo basket with the chicken intestines. It kept bubbling with white bubbles. It probably thought it had gotten a great deal.

A minute or two later, another crab fell in. Both crabs were very happy. They each held a piece of chicken intestines and ate them happily.
