"How's it going?" Zhou Yue and Wang Xiaoru saw Lin Fei holding a box of snacks in his hand and eating them with relish.
"It's delicious. I didn't expect that crayfish can be cooked like this." This should be Lin Fei's first time eating fried crayfish.
The heads and internal organs of the crayfish have been cleaned by the stall owner, but the claws and feet are still there. After deep-frying in high-temperature oil, they were fried to a crisp within a few seconds.
It crackles when you bite into it, and the taste is a bit like eating shrimp-flavored French fries, but harder and crispier, and the meat part still tastes like normal crayfish meat, but without spices.
Lin Fei, who ate fried crayfish for the first time, thought this snack was delicious.
"Here... you guys want to try it too." Lin Fei handed the box of fried crayfish to Zhou Yue and Wang Xiaoru.
"Kachi, kachi..."
"It tastes very good. It would be nice if there was ketchup." Wang Xiaoru tasted it and said.
Lin Fei reached out and grabbed it by his side, and a bottle of ketchup appeared in his hand.
"It's delicious." Zhou Yue had just finished one fried crayfish in her mouth, and took another one dipped in the tomato sauce that Lin Fei poured in the box.
"Why don't we try it ourselves tomorrow?" Lin Fei suggested.
"Okay! I'll go to the vegetable market to buy some crayfish after get off work tomorrow." Wang Xiaoru said.
"You don't need to buy them, I'll prepare the crayfish... Um, Zhou Yue, please save some for me, don't eat them all," Lin Fei said.

"Bang, bang, bang..."
On the shore, shadows of people mingled and fists and feet collided.
"Wow..."
A figure flew up from the shore and splashed into the water with a splash, causing the water to splash high.
"Senior!"
The Seven-Colored Flower, which knocked Luo Song flying into the Li River with one punch, turned around and saw a female human rushing to the shore, looking eagerly into the dark river.
"Slip away." Qise Hua stopped staying, took a few steps forward, walked past Tao Bihong, jumped up, jumped into the green belt on the roadside, and fled into the distance.
"Senior!" Tao Bihong shouted to the calm river. Just when she thought Luo Song had encountered something unexpected and was about to cry, there was a crash on the river and a figure emerged from the water.
"Senior!"
"I'm fine."
Luo Song, who had his superpower lifted and returned to his original appearance, quickly swam to the shore.
"Wow." Luo Song, who had climbed ashore, had just stood up when a soft body fell into his arms and hugged him tightly, "Senior, you scared me to death just now. I thought something happened to you!"
"Uh..." Luo Song, who was hugged by Tao Bihong, was stiff and didn't dare to move. "I'm covered in water. Let go quickly and don't get your clothes wet."
"No, I just want to hold you." Tao Bihong said softly.
"..." Luo Song was silent for a few seconds, and then said, "My colleagues will be arriving soon... You are like this..."
Tao Bihong knew that Luo Song was thin-skinned, so she thought for a moment and then let go of her hand. At this time, a large area of her T-shirt was soaked with water. Fortunately, the color of her clothes was dark and it would not be exposed. In addition,
It's summer now and it will dry up in a while.
"Didn't I ask you to go to the Student Street and wait for me first?" Luo Song asked.
"I was worried about you, so I followed you secretly." Tao Bihong said.
"Don't do this again... Fortunately he is not a vicious gangster, otherwise it would be very dangerous for you to do this." Luo Song said.
"Well, I won't do it anymore." Tao Bihong asked, "Senior, I just saw you guys fighting so fiercely, were you not injured?"
"It's nothing serious. It's just some skin trauma. It'll be fine after a night's sleep." The place where Luo Song was hit by the seven-color flower was bruised, but this injury is really nothing.
"Huh..." Tao Bihong breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Luo Song said that she was fine. Then she asked very curiously, "Did that kid do something? And he is so young, how can he be so powerful?
!”
Luo Song scratched his head and said to Tao Bihong apologetically, "Sorry, the bureau has regulations that unsolved cases cannot be disclosed to the outside world."
"That's it...it doesn't matter, senior, I won't ask any more." Tao Bihong was not ignorant or a messy person. She smiled and stopped asking about Qisehua.
"Kachi."
Three special vehicles from the Superpower Management Bureau came from the intersection and stopped on the side of the road. Several investigators got out of the vehicles.
"My colleagues are here, please wait here for a while, I will go and tell them what happened just now." Luo Song said to Tao Bihong.
"Yes." Tao Bihong nodded obediently and watched Luo Song walking toward the investigators who came to support him.
…………
It was almost nine o'clock when Lin Fei got home. In the living room, the colorful flowers and the little sparrows were watching TV. Such a situation is rare!
After saying hello to the four little guys, Lin Fei turned around and headed to the bedroom, took his pajamas and went to the bathroom to take a shower...
"Huh..." The four little guys breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Lin Fei was as usual.
After Qisehua beat Luo Song away, it chose to escape in a direction away from the secret base, and then made a big circle back to the secret base.
After meeting the little sparrows who were waiting for her to watch the TV series together, Qisehua told them about her encounter with the investigators. In the end, they unanimously decided not to stay at the secret base, but to go back to Lin Fei's house to avoid the limelight.
"It's really unlucky to meet an investigator in such a remote place." Qisehua muttered.
"Chirp, chirp...coincidence, coincidence, it doesn't matter." said the little sparrows.
…………
The next day.
In the early morning, the village was still shrouded in mist, the temperature was cool but not cold, the flowers and trees were covered with dew, and a red sun could be seen in the distance.
The public field is a field shared by many families in the village. It is filled with water and looks like a weir. The water is about one meter and two meters deep.
It is located at the highest point of the fields around the village. It also has the function of storing water. Basically, it starts to store water during the slack season. If there is insufficient rain during the rice transplanting season, water must be released from the public fields to the lower fields.
A young man in his mid-twenties pointed to the pond in front of him and said to his girlfriend.
"Xiao Min, let me tell you! There are a lot of crayfish here, and now there are fewer people fishing. When I was a child, you had to fight for the position on the edge of the field. If you can't grab it, you have to go into the water.
I went fishing in the middle. At that time, the fields were full of people."
"Hmm, Xiaohang, the countryside is still fun! When I was a kid, except for cram schools, I never caught crayfish." Xiao Min agreed.
"When I was in elementary school, I made money by fishing for crayfish every holiday." Xiaohang said, snickering to his girlfriend.
“At that time, many children younger than me were playing with me, and I took them fishing together, and we were able to catch a lot.
After fishing, we carry it in a backpack, everyone carries it, and then ride a bicycle to the crayfish buying station early in the morning to sell it.
Everyone can sell a few hundred yuan at a time. After they sell, I take them on the bus and go to a restaurant in the city to have a meal. They eat whatever they want, and then I give them a few yuan, and I keep the rest in my pocket.
inside……"
"Are they willing to do this with you?" Xiao Min asked curiously.
"They are willing! And they are very happy. They think I am very generous and take them to a restaurant..." Xiaohang said with a smile.
"..." Lin Fei, who came here earlier to catch crayfish, curled his lips inwardly as he listened to the loving couple beside him, "Are you going to catch crayfish or not? They were chattering a lot."
Apart from Lin Fei and the loving couple, there were only some children fishing for crayfish beside the public field.
Those children occupied an entire field bank. The girls tied strings to the bamboo poles, while the boys tied bait to the lines. The bait was raw meat because raw meat had a fishy smell.
These bamboo poles have been treated on both sides to make it less likely to cut hands. In addition, one end is carved with saw teeth so that the thread will not slip when tied on, and one end is sharpened to make it easier to insert into the soil.
On the other hand, the young couple, the boy named Xiaohang, just randomly broke off a branch and tied the thread to where there was a branch, which seemed a bit irregular.
Lin Fei also used bamboo poles to catch crayfish, but the bait he used was large intestine, because this thing has a very strong behavior and is easier to attract crayfish in the water than raw meat.
soon.
The edges of the public paddy field were lined with poles made of bamboo, and fishing lines were stretched diagonally into the water. They were trembling in the wind, and the water surface was constantly rippled.
"Why haven't the crayfish taken the bait yet?" A little girl whispered, "Is our bait not good enough?"
When the little boy in the lead heard this, he immediately frowned, raised his finger and said, "Shh! Don't talk! The crayfish will be scared away."
"Oh." The little girl quickly covered her mouth with her hands.
It's so good to be at such an age... Lin Fei looked at those children with a smile on his face.
…
The sun gradually became hotter.
A gust of wind blew by, causing ripples on the water's surface.
The little girl who had been mumbling about why the crayfish hadn't taken the bait saw the line of a fishing rod in front of her gradually being stretched straight, as if something was pulling under the water. She was stunned for a moment and turned to look at her friend on the left. After a moment
, she turned her head to the other side and looked at the leading little boy.
"Haohao, have I been bitten by a crayfish?"
"Hey, it really happened... Duoduo, you are really amazing!" the little boy named Haohao said in surprise.
"Should I pull it slowly?" Duoduo, who had never caught crayfish before, asked.
"Yes, pull the rod with one hand and hold the net with the other hand." Haohao said, "Pull slowly, gently, and stretch the net down gently. When you see the crayfish, slowly pull it down."
Move the net over and catch it," the little boy Haohao pointed out.
"I know." Duoduo nodded and said.
"Duoduo, let me help you pull it!" the little boy next to Duoduo volunteered.
"No, I'll do it myself." Duoduo shook her head. As she said this, she glanced at the other people's fishing rods, but none of them had moved. "It seems that I am the first one to catch crayfish!"
Then, the little girl Duoduo slowly pulled the bamboo pole, because she was the first to be bitten, and everyone looked at her, which gave her a certain amount of psychological pressure.
As the bamboo pole slowly pulled up the net, we gradually saw crayfish.
The one that was hooked was a tiny crayfish, maybe only the size of a little finger, and the color of the shell was very light. It was probably a young man, and he took the bait because he couldn't resist the temptation.
"What a small crayfish! Why don't we forget about it? It hasn't grown up yet. We can catch it when it grows up." A little girl suggested.
"Although mosquitoes are small, they are still meat." A little boy objected.
Duoduo slowly pushed the net over, but just when the net was about to touch the crayfish, the crayfish suddenly ran away, pulling out a shallow white line in the water.
"Oh, what a pity!" Duoduo's little friends all shouted.
"Duoduo, don't put the net so close to it." The little boy Haohao stepped forward and taught her step by step, "Move the net behind its butt. It can be as far away as ten centimeters or even thirty centimeters. It can be scooped.
Just move a little faster when the time comes.
Don’t worry about it running away, because the crayfish walks backwards in the water. When it starts running, it will just crash into your net.”
"I know, I know how." Looking at the escaped prey, Duoduo nodded seriously.
By coincidence, at this time, the line of the little boy Haohao's fishing rod was also straightened. As he picked up the fishing rod, he smiled at his friends and said, "It seems that I am the first one to catch crayfish! Look up to you."
, let me show you how to catch crayfish."
"Okay, come on, Haohao." The children became cheerleaders.
"Uh...it doesn't count this time." Haohao pulled up the fishing rod, and the crayfish ran away immediately.
"Haohao..." The friends were a little disappointed.
"A crayfish has taken the bait on Chongchong's fishing rod. I'll demonstrate it to you again!" Haohao came to a little boy.
"Haohao, can I do it myself?" the little boy Chongchong said weakly, but the other party did not change his decision.
"...This doesn't count." Haohao failed again.
"Uh... Haohao, do you know how to catch crayfish?" the friends questioned.
The expression on Haohao's face was stiff, and he was embarrassed in front of his friends, which made him extremely embarrassed.
So he pulled up another friend's fishing rod and tried it again, and this time he finally... finally succeeded.
"Cough cough cough..."
Haohao coughed twice, glanced at his friends, and said, "Did you see it? Just like me."
"Saw."
"Have you learned it?"
"Learned."
"Uh-huh……"
Haohao nodded and remained silent. This year's crayfish seemed to be smarter than in previous years. He couldn't blame him for this.
From the corner of his eye, he saw that Lin Fei had already caught four or five crayfish, and even the young couple had caught two.
Invisible or invisible... Because these adults are older than me, they can catch crayfish so quickly.
The little boy Haohao assigned two or three fishing rods to each of his friends. So far, everyone's fishing rods have been visited by crayfish, but he has only been hooked once so far.
"Wow!"
Duoduo also opened, and the crayfish kept struggling after falling into the bucket, making a slapping sound.
Haohao gradually frowned and said to himself, "What's going on? Why is there no movement on my fishing rod?"
