Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    It took more than an hour to get half a bucket of crabs, crucian carp, etc., but the fish were still squeezing their heads and rushing upwards, as if they were desperate for their lives.

    As the sky gradually darkened, they got even more excited, and they could only hear the constant sound of "pop, pop, pop" in the water.

    Professor Zhao couldn¡¯t even catch him, and the more he caught, the more interested he became, like a child. If Liu Junhao hadn¡¯t dissuaded him, he might have kept catching him.

    The fish eat fresh shrimps and jump. They won't be able to finish most of the bucket of fish tonight. The summer ones will not taste good tomorrow. Catching so many is a waste. It is better to let them swim into the ditch in the yard.  You can't escape once the water is gone, you can eat it whenever you want.

    Usually the sun is still scorching around five o'clock, but now the surroundings have completely darkened. Many houses in the village have also turned on their lights. Looking from a distance, the light yellow lights are covered with a layer of gauze by the rain.  An indescribable hazy beauty.

    The dozen or so little hens in the yard all got into the chicken coop early, but the rabbits were still running around in the rain, as if they were not affected by the weather at all.

    Dinner was naturally in order. Professor Zhao kept sighing that the countryside is great. You don¡¯t even have to buy fish to eat it. The fish is delivered directly to your door.

    In fact, this is really nothing. In Liu Junhao¡¯s memory, he once caught fish in the main room.  One year it rained harder than this time, and the water almost reached the main room. A catfish weighing half a kilogram jumped directly into the room for no apparent reason, and he caught it effortlessly.

    With such a heavy rain, it is estimated that people who release water into the fields tomorrow will be able to catch more fish.  Every time it rains, countless dizzy water fish rush to the fields. As a result, when the rain stops, some fish have no time to swim back and are left in the fields.

    When Liu Junhao was a child, he often went to the fields to pick fish with a group of friends, while the adults scolded them, telling them to get out of the fields and stop damaging the crops.

    The main reason is that the soil in the fields that have just rained is relatively loose. Children don¡¯t pay attention to their steps when they enter the fields. They walk through the fields and destroy many of the crop seedlings. This naturally attracts scolding from adults.

    For dinner, I first cooked a large bowl of river shrimp, and then started to cook fresh crucian carp and crab soup. First, I completely peeled off the crab cover, then washed the internal organs and gill leaves, pulled off the leg tips, chopped the crab into several pieces, and added some salt.  Simmer in a basin.  After the water boils, pour the crab and crucian carp into it, add pepper, cumin and other seasonings, simmer for more than half an hour, and the strong aroma will spread. At this time, add some home-cooked vegetables, and the taste will be great  ¡­

    Liu Junhao raised his spoon and took a little taste to taste the saltiness. The delicious soup made him take a deep breath. The soup was permeated with the rich flavor of crab and crucian carp. It not only contained the spiciness of pepper, but also mixed with fennel.  Pungent and sweet, it is these condiments that eliminate the fishy smell without a trace.

    There is a saying here that "big crabs are the top dish". Although it is not the best season to eat crabs, it is still fragrant at this moment. The crab meat has been cooked to pieces, which goes into the throat smoothly and is served with a big bowl.  Professor Zhao said that Monkey Wine is one of the great enjoyments in life!

    Late at night, I lie down listening to the wind and rain, and the sound of frogs croaking comes to me in my dreams!  When it rains, frogs are probably the happiest. Their croaking noises cover the sky and the sun, and are louder than the sound of heavy rain. People who are noisy cannot sleep at all.

    Liu Junhao was woken up early in the morning by the sound of frogs croaking. When he saw that it was already getting light, he rolled over and got up.  It was still raining outside at this time, but it was much lighter.  The water in the yard has also dropped a lot, barely covering the turf, but the group of little hens became happy, clucking and flapping around in the rain.  At first Liu Junhao didn't know what they were doing, but when he got closer, he realized that the pullets were catching river shrimps.

    He washed his face, then took the teapot to the door of the cage to brush his teeth. He saw that the grass on the dirt road was washed to one side by the water. There were many river shrimps jumping alive in the grass, and there was even a crucian carp in the middle of the road.  Sticking to the soil, opening and closing its mouth.

    When Xiaopi saw it, he immediately ran over to catch it and threw it in front of him as if he was taking credit for it.

    "Let it live, it's better than building a seven-level pagoda." Liu Junhao picked it up and threw it away. He had already thrown the crucian carp into the ditch on the roadside.

    At this time, Liu Laosan came from the village carrying a shovel, greeted him from a distance, and asked him to help discharge water in the fields. Anyway, there was nothing wrong with him, so Liu Junhao ran to the house and said to Professor Zhao, take the  Holding the shovel, he followed Liu Laosan.

    Looking at it along the way, there are flowing water everywhere, and the fields are even more ocean. Only the high -terrain places can distinguish a bit of green. It can be seen that the rain in the night yesterday was indeed very large.

    "God, let the rain stop quickly. If this continues, the crops in autumn will be destroyed." At this time, the corn seedlings have just grown, and have not yet developed aerial roots to resist.?The ability is very poor, and he will drown if he is soaked in water for up to three or four days.

    Along the way, there was an endless stream of people going to the fields to release water. Some even came together with the whole family, walking around in the fields wearing raincoats, umbrellas and shovels.

    Fortunately, there are many ditches in the Liu family, and each family's land faces the ditch, so the accumulated water in the fields can be easily drained.  However, it rained heavily last night and the ditches were full of water. It could not be discharged at this time, so every family took action to dig the road and let the water in the ditches flow towards the river.

    The power of the masses is strong. In a short time, several drainage ditches were dug on the road, and the rushing water flowed along the ditches.

    Everyone was busy when someone suddenly shouted "Rabbit". Everyone looked up and saw a rabbit's head floating in the water in the distance.

    The rabbit was not far from the shore, but when he saw many people here, he immediately turned around and swam elsewhere.  This rabbit must also have been a victim of last night's heavy rain. Judging from the situation, it was probably trapped in the river beach all night.

    Xiaopi, who was constantly sniffing around on the road, also saw the rabbit on the water. He immediately rushed into the water and swam towards the rabbit quickly.

    The rabbit felt that danger was approaching and swam more happily in the water.  But no matter how fast it swam, it couldn't match Xiaopi's bravery. With the encouragement of the people on the shore, Xiaopi swam faster and faster, and finally captured the rabbit in one fell swoop. The people on the shore clapped and applauded, even Mr. Liu.  San couldn't help praising the macular skin for being so powerful.

    When Xiaopi swam toward the shore, everyone discovered that the "rabbit" caught in its mouth was abnormal, and its fur was red. Liu Junhao thought it looked familiar, and asked uncertainly: "Is that a grasshopper?"

    Liu Laosan moved his umbrella away, stretched his head and looked into the rain, and exclaimed: "No, your yellow-spotted skin actually caught a grasshopper, you are so capable."

    ??Cao Lizi is the local name here, which is what people usually call foxes. They usually hide in tree holes or holes in the earth. These things are very cunning. Even if you use a trap, it is difficult to catch them.  Often the chicken legs placed on the tongs were taken away, but the tongs did not fall down.

    But no matter how cunning a fox is, it can't defeat humans. Due to people's capture over the years, the foxes in the reeds by the river have become very few, and they can only be seen occasionally in the mountains.  This grass raccoon deserved his misfortune to meet Xiaopi.

    Xiaopi bit its neck and went straight to Liu Junhao, threw the raccoon to the ground, and then barked around him.

    This grass raccoon is about thirty to forty centimeters long, and its dark brown-red fur is stained with a lot of mud and water, making it a bit dark gray. No wonder people thought it was a rabbit just now. Now it is lying with its eyes closed.  motionless in the muddy water.

    "Good guy, your dog is really powerful. Last time he caught a big turtle, and this time he caught a grass raccoon. This skin is probably worth three or four hundred yuan, right?"

    "How can there be so many? One hundred yuan more, this piece of leather is too small, not enough to count," another person said.

    A group of people discussed it for a while but didn't say anything. After draining the water, it was almost time for breakfast. Liu Junhao threw the grasshopper onto the shovel, carried it on his shoulders, and followed the others towards the village.

    When he walked to a large poplar forest, the shovel suddenly came loose, and the grasshopper fell to the ground. Just when Liu Junhao was about to turn around to pick it up, a surprising situation happened: the grasshopper was quickly heading towards the woods.  He rushed forward and disappeared among the wormwood in the blink of an eye. When Xiaopi found out, he chased after him closely.

    "This idiot" A large group of people were stunned.

    Unexpectedly, they let a raccoon fool them. There were three or four people who touched its fur just now, but none of them could tell that the raccoon was pretending to be dead. No wonder they often said it was as cunning as a fox when they scolded people.  This raccoon has become a spirit!
