Zheng Chengxi was angry, and when he heard Luo Caihua's exclamation, he didn't think so, and continued to sit on the stool and smoke.

"Zheng Chengxi, you old gray seed! Hurry up!" Luo Caihua's voice changed tone.

"What's the matter, I've touched a ghost!"

"Dead, dead, like all dead!" Luo Caihua turned back to the stove house and looked at Zheng Chengxi in horror.

Zheng Chengxi felt that the problem seemed to be very serious, threw away the cigarette butt and got up and asked in a panic: "What, why are you dead?" ”

"Chickens, ducks, geese, chickens, ducks, and geese!" Luo Caihua patted her bare thighs, "My mother, I've opened my cheeks with two and a half fingers, this, I look like I'm about to lay eggs, but I'm all dead at once!"

Zheng Chengxi rushed to the courtyard with flashing steps, isn't it, chickens, ducks and geese are lying on the ground, some have already stood up, and some are still convulsing.

Zheng Jinhua, who was doing his homework in the house, also came out and cried when he saw this scene.

"Jin Hua, don't cry, don't cry. Zheng Chengxi stepped forward and hugged Zheng Jinhua's head, constantly comforting.

"Well, what do you say is all this? Luo Caihua came over crying, "Why don't you touch a lot of mold." ”

"Don't be like a crying star, hurry up and put on your clothes first, look at you!"

When Luo Caihua heard this, he knew that his appearance was indeed inappropriate, so he hurriedly entered the hall, rushed to the inner room and touched a piece of clothing, and ran out again, "Zheng Chengxi, there are some things that need to be talked about." ”

"Jin Hua, go back to the house and do your homework, it's nothing serious. Zheng Chengxi walked Zheng Jinhua, looked at the small stone platform by the courtyard wall, and then said to Luo Caihua, "Well, I want to talk about it, recently, it seems that there are really a lot of things." ”

"I guess someone in the village is eyeing our family. Luo Caihua had clothes on her body, and her momentum came up, "From the window of the consignment store being thrown stones, to the door being smeared, to the theft of my clothes tonight, the ignition of the door of the consignment store, and the dead chickens, ducks and geese in the yard, which one doesn't look like someone is deliberately manipulating us?"

"That's really the case. ”

"Think about it, who have we offended lately?"

"Then there is no need to say, only Liu Shengli. ”

"No, it's definitely not Liu Shengli. ”

"How can you be so sure?"

"......" Luo Caihua was stunned, "Then, didn't you come to apologize and explain, and you also brought Lanling Daqu." ”

"That's just a superficial thing, fundamentally speaking, he, Liu Shengli, must still hate me very much. ”

"Even if it were, then he wouldn't be too much to do. ”

"Why?"

"You're the secretary, he's the captain. Luo Caihua scratched her cheeks, "If you say that the captain can't do it, maybe the commune will take him down at once, you say, he dares to go overboard?"

"Maybe he's calculating, and he knows that he won't leave anything behind. ”

"Well, that's possible. Luo Caihua couldn't hold on any longer, "Anyway, we have to check one by one, check all the things, we have to find out what happened!"

"Well, the check is to be checked, but you can't be in a hurry, sometimes the more anxious you are, the more problems will occur. Zheng Chengxi secretly cried out in his heart, crying and mourning: "Daughter-in-law, look, the important thing is to quickly clean the dead chickens, ducks and geese. If it's late, when the rat poison disperses, it really won't be used at all. ”

"How do you know it's rat poison?"

"This ......," Zheng Chengxi's lips trembled, "What else can there be besides rat poison?" Other poisons have a strange smell, even if they are stirred with the elixir, the chickens, ducks and geese will not eat them." ”

"Yes, too. Luo Caihua nodded, "Then hurry up and boil water, scald and pluck the hair, and then clean the stomach." ”

"Well, then hurry up, I'll boil the water first. Zheng Chengxi sat down in front of the stove, picked up firewood, lit it, and stuffed it into the stove.

The firelight danced, reflecting the chagrin and frustration on Zheng Chengxi's face, as well as a few tears of remorse in the corners of his eyes. He knew very well that the chickens, ducks and geese in the courtyard died at his hands. Originally, he bought rat poison for the rats on the side of the medicine stove house, so that the money from the small treasury would not be dragged away again. But when it was dark, Xu Lixia came over and hinted to go to her house at night, when he was in the yard to get rat medicine and mix wheat grains, but as soon as he was excited, he pulled Xu Lixia to the stove house to play, and the things in his hand were put on the small stone platform.

This time, the problem comes. The hungry chicken pounced on the stone platform, fought for the wheat grains mixed with rat poison, and knocked over the ground, and the ducks and geese also came to grab the "delicacy" and enjoy the last dinner of their lives.

Zhang Benmin, who has been eavesdropping outside the door since the beginning, has a clear heart, understands everything, and has been happy. Next, it is estimated that there is nothing to do, it is nothing more than Zheng Chengxi and Luo Caihua are busy with their heads, plucking dead chickens, ducks and geese and disemboweling them, and it is boring to watch, and if you stay late outside, grandma will look for it everywhere.

Go home.

This night, Zhang Benmin slept unsteadily, afraid of oversleeping and delaying the fishing hook, in case it was discovered, the next time he put the hook, there was a danger of being stolen.

Stunned until the sky was about to dawn, Zhang Benmin got up, picked up the prepared net bag, and quietly slipped out, rushing to the reservoir in the southeast of the village. After standing still, he looked around to make sure that there was no one, so he jumped down the pond slope and found the hook.

When he touched the peg that tied the line, Zhang Benmin was inevitably worried, if he was unlucky enough to get nothing, he would really be disappointed. Taking a deep breath, he touched the thread with his hand.

The line is tight and has deviated from the trajectory of yesterday evening's launch. Zhang Benmin became excited, indicating that the hook had been bitten, and it was also dragged, and the most important thing was that the bite had not yet been unhooked.

What kind of harvest will it be? In addition to the old turtle, herring is not excluded. Zhang Benmin pulled the nylon thread tightly and loosely, feeling that the thing on the other end of the thread was competing with him, and he was so excited that he almost couldn't hold his breath.

After playing with it for a while, the hook line finally came out of the water, and an old turtle the size of the bottom of the basin was exposed.

"Good guy!" Zhang Benmin couldn't help but muttered to himself, "It's fucking big enough!"

It's too late to take off the hook line, so hurry up and put it up in a net pocket, so as not to let the guy who got it escape without paying attention, and it will be regretful.

With an old turtle at the bottom, Zhang Benmin was much calmer, and when he mentioned the second hook line, it didn't matter if he had it or not, big or small, but when he brought up a big yellow eel, he was still surprised.

This yellow eel is short and thick, yellowish all over, and the strangest thing is that the tail is unusual, the ordinary yellow eel is thin and pointed, but it is flattened, and there are two subtle forks, at first glance it looks a little like the dragon's tail in the picture.

"Could it be that you have caught a baby?" Zhang Benmin became more and more happy the more he looked at it. But in addition to the joy, there was a trace of awe in the bottom of his heart, "What if it is spiritual?

Zhang Benmin took a closer look, fortunately, the yellow eel swallowing hook is very shallow, and he may have noticed the abnormality in his mouth, but he couldn't spit it out, and it ended up stabbing in the shallow place.

Without further hesitation, it was not too early, and there was still a hook in the river that had not been mentioned. Zhang Benmin hurriedly pinched the jaws of the yellow eel, took out a knife and reached in, and broke the nylon rope. Then he squeezed the end of the needle, punctured its mouth and throat, and took out the needle.

"Eel God, Eel God, you are not strange, life is really helpless. Zhang Benmin muttered while holding the yellow eel and carefully putting it into the water.

The yellow eel did not have the panic of the rest of its life, it spread out in the water leisurely, and slowly sank into the water.

Zhang Benmin climbed up the pond slope, followed the path to the river embankment, and went straight to the place where the hook was lowered. This time, I picked up another yellow eel, and after confirming that there was nothing abnormal, I put it in my net pocket and ran home in a hurry.

There is still a lot to do, and the most important thing is to rush to the commune as soon as possible, this old turtle and yellow eel have to be sold to rich people, and there will be no buyers in the village. The second is to ask Gao Endeavor to help ask for leave, and he can't go to school in the morning. The commune is stationed in the village of Jiazhuang, which is not close, there is no transportation, only walking, and it takes more than two hours to go back and forth on the road.

After having breakfast in a hurry, Zhang Benmin went out with his schoolbag on his back, walked to the haystack next to the door, stuffed his schoolbag into the haystack hole, took out the hidden net, and ran to the door of Gao Jinjin's house with a cigarette.

"Gao Fenjin, help me ask for leave this morning, just say that I have a stomachache and can only go in the afternoon. Zhang Benmin said breathlessly.

"What are you going to do?"

"Go to the commune. Zhang Benmin raised his net pocket, "These two guys can sell for a good price." ”

"Well, that's not it. Gao Jinjin touched his head, "I'll go with you." ”

"No, I can't. Zhang Benmin shook his head very dryly, "You don't know how bad Wang Tuanmu is, if he knows that the two of us skipped class, then he won't be crazy." Besides, if your adults knew, they probably wouldn't let you play with me in the future. ”

"Oh, yes. Gao Endeavor was very disappointed.

"Don't be upset, there will be more opportunities to go to the commune in the future. Zhang Benmin comforted, turned around and left. Time must not be delayed, otherwise you will not be able to touch a little, you will not be able to sell the old turtle and yellow eel, and you will be blind when you rush to the commune.

He didn't dare to take the main road, Zhang Benmin took the path of the crops in the south of the village to the west, as long as he crossed the two big ridges, he would be considered to be a commune.

The fields were very wet in the early morning, and it was extremely comfortable to breathe heavily, and Zhang Benmin started running. After running for a while, I suddenly felt that the net pocket was a little obvious, and I should find something to cover up. Turning his head to see, the autumn peanuts in some fields are still there, and the seedlings are still hanging with a lot of leaves.

Well, it should be best to cover the two large dun peanut seedlings. Immediately, Zhang Benmin ran into the peanut field, and no matter whose family it was, he bent down and pulled it out. However, the peanut seedlings are so deeply rooted in the ground that it is not easy to pull them out with the strength of a child.

There were no tools, so I could only use clumsy force, swaying back and forth, back and forth, back and forth, and the peanut seedling roots finally loosened. Zhang Benmin was overjoyed, and then added a few more forces, and finally came out with a trick.

I was busy for a while, and I was sweating. Zhang Benmin straightened his waist, stretched out his hand to wipe the beads of sweat, and was about to take the second pier, but he was caught.

"Look, why are you stealing my peanuts? Look at you, you're working hard early in the morning. ”

The owner of the peanut field came.
