Meng Xiaobao nodded, and immediately threw away the water bubbles at the entrance of the cave, then picked off a straw and put it on the power to swim.
When there is no fishing hook, this method can also make the eel appear on its own. By then, Meng Xiaobao should be able to catch it as long as he has quick hands.
I saw the grass in Meng Xiaobao's hand shaking slightly at the entrance of the cave. As expected, not long after, a snake-like head emerged from the entrance of the cave. Meng Xiaobao slowly moved the grass out.
Good guy.
When he saw the size of the eel, Meng Xiaobao couldn't help but feel happy. The eel was about the size of a rolling pin and was covered in meat.
Meng Xiaobao couldn't help but swallowed, while Shen Ruyu on the shore was even more afraid to express her anger for fear of disturbing the eels.
Come out a little more.
Meng Xiaobao thought silently in his heart, and finally Meng Xiaobao's hand suddenly grabbed it.
The eel reacted very quickly and quickly shrank towards the entrance of the cave, but Meng Xiaobao did not do what she wanted. His index and middle fingers formed a figure eight and suddenly hit the eel's neck.
As the saying goes, when catching a snake, you must catch the eel at the neck position, because you can only catch it slightly here. Otherwise, no matter how strong you are, you may not be able to catch it firmly.
With a strong tug, the entire eel was dragged directly out of the hole.
so big!
Shen Ruyu's eyes widened, but at this moment the eel was still struggling, and the water suddenly became turbid.
Meng Xiaobao's hand slowly came out of the water, and the eel was wrapped around Meng Xiaobao's wrist like a snake.
"Good guy, you are quite strong."
"Xiaobao, you are so powerful. Let him in quickly and don't let him escape."
Shen Ruyu exclaimed happily, such a big eel can be fried for a whole dish.
Meng Xiaobao threw the eel directly into the bucket, and Shen Ruyu suddenly burst into laughter: "Xiaobao, you are so awesome. You can catch such a big eel."
"Hey, no matter how big it is, I can catch it."
"Praise you a few times and you will go to heaven." Shen Ruyu gave Meng Xiaobao a scolding look. She looked like a neighbor's daughter-in-law, with a hint of playfulness in her charm.
Meng Xiaobao was also overjoyed. He hadn't seen his sister-in-law look like this for a long time.
"Sister-in-law, let's see if there are any more eel holes. I'll grab two more dishes to go with the wine." Meng Xiaobao was also excited. Since he wants to eat, he must eat comfortably.
The so-called matching of men and women makes work less tiring.
Shen Ruyu was looking for an eel cave on the shore, while Meng Xiaobao was working underneath.
In less than an hour, Meng Xiaobao had already caught four large eels.
"Xiaobao, that's enough. This much is enough for the two of us." Shen Ruyu saw the eels in the bucket and shouted with a smile on her face.
Meng Xiaobao nodded. He originally wanted to eat in town, but because of Wang Mazi, he was still hungry now, so he wanted to go back as soon as possible to eat the fresh eel.
The two of them were talking and laughing while walking towards home.
But we just arrived at the three-way intersection in the village.
"stop!"
I saw Zhu Changchun walking out.
Zhu Changchun is Zhu Fugui's cousin. As the saying goes, if one person can ascend to heaven, Zhu Fugui will be prosperous, but Zhu Changchun is still poor.
"Zhu Changchun, what's the matter with you?"
After all, Zhu Changchun is Zhu Fugui's cousin, and the villagers are not willing to provoke him. Although Zhu Fugui did not help Zhu Changchun after he became rich, Zhu Changchun often hangs around Zhu Fugui.
"What are you carrying in your hands?"
"Does anything have anything to do with you?" Meng Xiaobao didn't have a good impression of the Zhu family, so his tone was naturally not very good.
"This is the eel we caught, what's wrong?" Shen Ruyu didn't want to cause a conflict. Anyway, she acted and sat upright. As long as they agreed, she felt that Zhu Changchun had no reason to cause trouble for herself and Meng Xiaobao.
"Eel, where were you caught?"
"Zhu Changchun, who do you think you are? Why should we answer you?"
"Meng Xiaobao, don't think that just because you have made a lot of money recently due to your luck, you think you are so great in the village. Your little money is nothing compared to my brother." Zhu Changchun sneered.
"That's nice to say. What does Zhu Fugui's prosperity have to do with you? It doesn't seem to have helped you. But you are quite good at licking dogs." Meng Xiaobao said with a smile. After being sober for so many days, Meng Xiaobao had a general understanding of the situation in the village. Got it all.
"I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you. Did you catch your eel in the winter paddy field?"
"Never mind your business, good dogs don't block the road, get out of the way." Meng Xiaobao had no patience with the Zhu family. Thinking of Zhu Fugui bullying his sister-in-law, Meng Xiaobao wanted to beat him severely.
"Xiaobao."
Shen Ruyu grabbed Meng Xiaobao and then looked at Zhu Changchun: "We caught him in the winter paddy field. Is there any problem?"
"Of course there is a problem, because you can't catch that field."
"Zhu Changchun, are you too old or are you stupid? This winter paddy field does not belong to your family. What the hell do you care about?"
Meng Xiaobao said unceremoniously that the owner of this winter paddy field had already gone to the city to develop. He has not returned to the village for many years, and the sky has been deserted here. If the owner comes, it is hard for Meng Xiaobao to say, but Zhu Changchun, Meng Xiaobao was too lazy to pay attention.
"Who said this field doesn't belong to my family?"
"Zhu Changchun, you can't be unreasonable. This winter paddy field belongs to Uncle Mao's family, and Uncle Mao's family has been away from the village for many years, and it's not just us who catch snails in the fields. There used to be many people who came to the fields to pick up snails. "Shen Ruyu explained.
"It used to be the case, but now I can't because the winter paddy field has been contracted by me, so leave the things behind, otherwise you will be thieves."
Zhu Changchun said with a proud face. Zhu Fugui came to him yesterday and said that he would contract a piece of land for him, and the winter paddy field was included in the contract. He originally planned to come over today to see his land, but he happened to see Shen Ruyu and Meng Xiaobao catches eels in the field.
So he has been waiting here for a long time. Anyway, Meng Xiaobao and his brother are not fighting each other, so he just helps his brother to vent his anger. Maybe his brother will treat him better in the future, so he will not let Meng Xiaobao and Shen Ruyu go just like that.
"What?"
Shen Ruyu's eyebrows suddenly tightened slightly. If Zhu Changchun really took over the contract that day, Zhu Changchun indeed had the right to take the things back.
"I'll count to three. If you don't hand over the things, I'll call someone right away and let everyone see that you guys are all thieves. We'll see how you behave in the village in the future."
Shen Ruyu is always a person who sticks to the rules. If this is really the case, she will not be able to survive at all. Although she is a little unwilling, she still chooses to make it a trivial matter.
Slowly put the bucket down.
Zhu Changchun suddenly smiled.
Then he reached out to grab the bucket, but someone was faster than him, and Meng Xiaobao grabbed the bucket.
