After Gu Liang finished dealing with the ridge, he returned the harrow to his uncle.

Gu Boxi looked at what Gu Liang did and wanted to say that he shouldn't do such a thing. But Gu Liang interrupted his uncle and said to Gu Boxi: "Uncle, do you know Confucius?"

"Of course I know. When I was in charge of the kiln factory, the children in the factory owner's private school read this every day!" Gu Boxi answered instinctively, but he couldn't figure out why Gu Liang suddenly mentioned Confucius.

Gu Liang continued, "Uncle San, do you know that Confucius has a saying to teach people, 'Repay grievances with virtue, how to repay virtue? Repay grievances with justice, repay virtue with virtue'? You see, Confucius said that if there is a grudge, you should take revenge, and don't talk about morality to your enemies. What we do is to repay grievances with justice, so don't say so much."

Gu Boxi was stunned by Gu Liang's words. He didn't expect that this kid would even bring up Confucius. How could he, an uneducated person, respond? However, Gu Boxi immediately reacted and asked Gu Liang, "Where did you learn so many words from Confucius?"

"Uh... this" Gu Liang didn't know how to explain for a while. He couldn't say that he was born with it, so he quickly changed the subject and said, "Uncle, there is a snake in front, I'm afraid there."

Gu Liang said and stepped back a few steps. On the one hand, he was trying to divert Gu Boxi's attention, and on the other hand, he seemed to have really seen a snake. How many people in the world are not afraid of snakes at night?

Gu Boxi looked in the direction that Gu Liang pointed, and saw that the 'snake' was completely submerged in the water, motionless. Gu Liang looked at it, turned around and changed positions with Gu Liang, and walked in front of Gu Liang. At first, Gu Liang thought that it was his third uncle who took care of him and protected him behind him. Who would have thought that Gu Liang saw his third uncle walk straight to the position of the 'snake', squat, and then grab the snake with one hand.

Gu Liang was frightened by this scene, thinking that his third uncle was desperate to catch the snake, so he screamed. How many people in the world are not afraid of this scene? Gu Liang screamed and thought to himself that if his third uncle was bitten by a snake, should he find herbs for Chonglou or Xu Changqing? This knowledge point was learned by Gu Liang from watching The Legend of Sword and Fairy III. Chonglou and Xu Changqing can both treat snake venom, but Xu Changqing is better than Chonglou in treating snake venom, so Zixuan finally chose Xu Changqing.

Gu Liang was brainstorming, while Gu Boxi had already caught the snake. Gu Liang was scared to death when he saw the snake wrapped around his uncle's hand. What was even more terrible was that Gu Boxi actually walked towards Gu Liang with the snake.

"Throw it away, Uncle, don't take it. Please. Amitabha, Blessings and Infinite Heaven, Mazu, God, Allah, Angela, Godzilla... Save me!" Seeing the snake getting closer and closer to him, Gu Liang was frightened and at a loss. It was so dark that Gu Liang didn't dare to run. The width of the field ridge was less than 30 to 40 centimeters. It was easy to fall if he walked fast during the day, not to mention running on a dark and windy night.

Gu Liang was muttering and worshiping the gods and Buddhas and the strange things in the sky. Gu Boxi looked at his nephew and stopped to threaten him. Gu Boxi took back the snake in his hand and said to Gu Liang: "Okay, I won't scare you anymore. What I caught was not a snake at all, but an eel!"

Gu Liang's face was dark after hearing this. He was very angry. He was worried that his uncle would be bitten by a 'snake'! It turned out that his uncle had already seen that it was an eel, not a snake, and he actually used this method to scare him.

Gu Liang was not so scared at this time, but he was still angry, so he didn't want to pay attention to his uncle. He turned around and left. He originally wanted to go home directly and not keep watch with his uncle, but he remembered that the door at home was bolted, so he could only go back to the place where they were going to sleep on the floor tonight.

Gu Boxi saw that Gu Liang ignored him and was angry, so he didn't say a word and followed Gu Liang obediently. Then he saw Gu Liang sitting in the place where he would sleep tonight in a huff, so he hurriedly smiled and told him not to be angry. The big guy was still afraid of eels.

Gu Liang became even angrier when he heard what his uncle said. He didn't know that the 'snake' was an eel. It was normal for him to be afraid of snakes, and he was not afraid of eels.

Gu Boxi explained: "There is a difference between this yellow eel and a snake. This snake swims in the water, unlike the yellow eel, which stays quietly in the water with only its head exposed. Moreover, the yellow eel usually stays at the edge of the hole, while the yellow eel digs a big hole, and the snake is small. Look again, this eel is obviously yellow, and you can tell at a glance that it is a snake.

It's not a snake!"

Gu Boxi said as he showed the eel he caught to Gu Liang. Gu Liang was still very scared when he saw the snake-like yellow eel, and hurriedly asked Gu Boxi to throw it away.

Seeing that Gu Liang was so scared, Gu Boxi stopped teasing Gu Liang, and threw the yellow eel twenty meters away, and then splashed it into the water. Gu Boxi comforted Gu Liang and told him not to be afraid anymore, as he had already thrown the yellow eel away.

After this, Gu Liang decided that he would never eat yellow eels again. It is estimated that after this, when mentioning yellow eels, Gu Liang will remember this panicked night.

The patrol is over, the noise is over, it is late at night, and the temperature is not so hot. Dew has begun to condense in the grass, it's time to go to bed.

Gu Liang and his third uncle Gu Boxi lay on the mat. According to Chinese custom, they covered their belly buttons with a thin blanket, although there was no need to cover the blanket at this temperature.

Gu Liang lay on the mat, looking at everything around him. The dogtail grass beside the stone, the bean seedlings on the edge of the field, and the straw in the paddy field seemed to be covered with a layer of silver and soft gauze under the moonlight. The outlines of the plants in the distance could no longer be seen. One could only watch them swaying their slender bodies in the slight breeze. Although they looked thin, they were not lonely, but very lively.

The sounds of frogs, crickets, and unknown insects were like a A natural symphony, no matter how many people are playing, it never seems noisy, but is very harmonious from near to far.

There is not only music in the rice fields, but also light. Fireflies fly around in the fields, sometimes bright and sometimes dark, swaying unsteadily, like stars in the night sky.

Speaking of stars, we naturally have to count the starry sky above our heads. In this world without air pollution, countless stars can be observed with the naked eye, bright, dark, long-bright, shining, and of various colors, forming the most beautiful night sky.

But the brightest and most dazzling thing in the night sky is the moon, which is round, white, and looks like a cake.

Oh no~, when Gu Liang realized that he mistook the moon for a cake, When he saw the moon, he secretly thought that it was not good, which meant that he was hungry now.

Gu Liang looked at the moon and thought of cakes, Zibo barbecue, and the sizzling meat skewers wrapped in cakes. The taste was so delicious.

Gu Liang's stomach started to growl, and he missed midnight snacks and takeout very much.

Gu Liang proposed his idea to his third uncle Gu Boxi. He wanted to make something delicious when he was on guard tomorrow night. Gu Boxi also thought that the night was long and it would be nice to make something to eat.

So Gu Liang avoided mosquitoes, flies, insects and snakes under the protection of a large "mosquito coil" made of straw, fell asleep, and began to dream about eating barbecue tomorrow night.
