After two consecutive failures, Gu Liang was no longer sure whether he could catch the loach.

At this moment, he had begun to retreat, thinking, why not go home and lie down, lying here, not catching loaches, but feeding mosquitoes.

Gu Liang looked at the wooden barrel next to him. He took it out of his home in a swagger, and then took it back empty. This feeling was really bad. He secretly made up his mind that he must catch a few to prove himself that he was not an air force guy!

Calm down and keep working. There is no more than three times the problem. It's just a small loach.

Gu Liang found the loach again, still lazily crawling on the side. Damn loach, you must know me. I will definitely kill you if I catch you, Gu Liang thought.

But just as Gu Liang took a step, the loach quickly fled from here again and walked towards the center of the field.

So the third capture also failed.

Gu Liang felt very embarrassed at this moment. Even if no one saw it, he couldn't lose face, right? So he said to himself: "Stinky loach, today your master Liang reluctantly spared your life. If you can't catch it here, you can catch it somewhere else. I'll change a field."

Gu Liang picked up the wooden barrel and moved to a field below. Anyway, there were many loaches, and there would always be stupid loaches that he could catch.

Gu Liang didn't dare to underestimate this sleek little loach at this time, and waited slowly on the shore for the loach to come over. When he got close, he stretched out his arms to form a circle, then slowly immersed his arms in the water and circled the loach in his arms.

At this time, because the area of ​​the circle was too large, the loach was not in danger at this time, and it was still lying on the mud surface motionless. Gu Liang gradually reduced the area of ​​the circle, and half of his palm was immersed in the mud to prevent the loach from escaping.

When the circled area was only the size of a bowl, the loach realized the danger and wanted to run back, but it was blocked by Gu Liang's palm behind it, and there was a field bank in front, so it could not move forward or backward.

So the loach was firmly trapped in Gu Liang's palm. In order to prevent the loach from slipping away again, Gu Liang caught it and threw it into the wooden barrel immediately.

Gu Liang, who finally caught a loach, was overjoyed and immediately floated. He felt that catching loaches was still quite easy, as long as he mastered the method.

Once you have done it, you will have two. Once you have learned the method, it will be much easier to catch. After a while, Gu Liang had already caught the second one.

Although most of the time, the loach slipped away because he did not have time to close the circle or because his palms were not tight, but as he caught more and more loaches, his skills became more and more proficient, and there were more and more loaches in the bucket.

Just when Gu Liang was catching them vigorously, an adult's roar rang out in the village: "Li Goudan, where have you been? It's getting dark, and you haven't returned home yet. Are you waiting to feed the wolves at night?"

Not far from Gu Liang, a boy named Goudan got up and ran home immediately after hearing the shouting.

Seeing that it was getting late, the other children also went home. After all, it was late to go home outside, and when they went back, it depended on the mood of their parents. If they were in a good mood, of course, it would be fine. If they were in a bad mood, they would be scolded at the least, and at the worst, they would have to "fry bamboo shoots with meat".

Gu Liang spent about an hour and a half catching loaches in the field, and had already caught about thirty or forty loaches, which almost filled the bottom of the bucket. Although it was far from his ideal bucket of loaches, it was better than nothing, right?

When Gu Liang returned home, Mrs. Gu was pointing at his second aunt Li and scolding her.

"You lazy guy, I didn't keep an eye on you for a while, and you were lazy again, right? You do nothing at home every day, and you do bad things. I asked you to fill the water tank, but you were lazy and didn't do it. How could I be so blind to let you in? Tell me, this well is not even three steps away, how many buckets of water can you draw and how many steps you can walk." Mrs. Gu stood diagonally with her left hand on her waist and a spatula in her right hand, looking aggressive.

It can be said that Mrs. Gu is definitely different from ordinary old ladies. Most old ladies are usually good at talking, and they cry, make a fuss, or hang themselves when they can't win the argument. But this old lady Gu is not only good at talking, but also good at hands. Normal people would never fight if they could scold, but Old Lady Gu always fought while scolding, and she would never miss a chance to fight.

Back then, before Gu Liang's aunt got married, a matchmaker came to propose marriage. At that time, Gu Liang's aunt was only 16, so Old Lady Gu naturally received her warmly. But when she heard that the man introduced to her daughter was a widower who had a son who was almost the same age as her daughter, Old Lady Gu started fighting, and beat the matchmaker so hard that her hair was disheveled and her face was bruised and swollen. It was said that the matchmaker almost...

I couldn't get out of Lanxi Village.

What was even funnier was that Old Lady Gu chased and scolded me for two miles, and there were a lot of people watching along the way. Later, the town was rumored that there was a tigress in Lanxi Village who tore off a fingernail-sized mole on the matchmaker's face because she was dissatisfied with the matchmaker's proposal.

Old Lady Gu's reputation was established in Lanxi Village. Most people didn't dare to quarrel with her because she really took action, and they would never go back and forth.

Second Aunt Li naturally didn't dare to confront Old Lady Gu, so she could only hide at home and explain.

While she was explaining, Gu Liang came back with a wooden bucket. Li had an idea and waved her hand to let Old Lady Gu stop: "Mom, it's not that I was lazy this afternoon. The wooden bucket for fetching water at home was taken away by Gu Liang this afternoon. I'm looking for the bucket. A lost wooden bucket is not a small matter. Don't you think so, mom?"

At this time, Li smiled at Old Lady Gu with a flattering face. While hurriedly snatching the wooden bucket from Gu Liang's hand, she quickly changed the subject and shifted the problem to Gu Liang, saying with a face full of feigned anger: "How could you secretly take the bucket out of the house? Don't do this next time. I didn't fetch water in the afternoon."

Gu Liang naturally knew that the second aunt was trying to change the subject and find an excuse, so he ignored her. Anyway, his grandmother would not say anything about him.

Seeing that Gu Liang ignored her, Li was ready to go for water, but found that there were many loaches in the bucket, so she asked: "Nephew, why did you catch these loaches? They are fishy and smelly. They are not delicious and difficult to raise."

Seeing that Li was tired of working and complained about the food when eating, Mrs. Gu rolled her eyes and said: "Fly legs are meat no matter how small they are. No matter how fishy the loach is, it is more delicious than vegetables. It's good to have some to eat, and you picked it up."

Then Mrs. Gu snatched the bucket from Li and poured the loaches in the bucket into a basin. Then he threw the bucket back to Li, gave her a sidelong glance, and then kicked her, telling her to go fetch water quickly.

Seeing that the old lady was finally ready to let her go, Li quickly ran out of the house with the bucket.
