Under the afterglow of the setting sun, Canghai set up a flatbed truck to the entrance of the village.

"Stop, stop!" Qu Guowei shouted loudly.

Canghai stopped the ugly donkey, turned his head to the old man and asked, "Uncle Qu, what are you doing?"

"Let's go, go over there and have a look, and see what they are doing in the river" Qu Guowei stretched out his hand and pointed to the small river at the entrance of the village.

Canghai raised his head and took a look, and found that his senior sister Qin Lingling and his little sister Guan Lin were now bending over in the river to pick up something, and as for the leader, it was naturally Ping'an.

"Touching the snails, they are definitely touching the snails," Canghai said.

Qu Guowei patted Canghai on the shoulder when he heard this: "I know how to touch the snails, let's go over and take a look, just like Qin Lingling's eldest lady, take Guan Lin's little girl to touch the snails? Is it enough to fight tooth sacrifices at night? Hurry up, you Qu Bo will show you a hand in the past."

Canghai listened to it and suddenly hung a few underworld ways on his head, and said in his heart: You old man, if you want to play along, just say it, no one can do it, just you!

Now Canghai finally understands why there is a word called an old child, today I took Qu Guowei around, this old man is like a child, fishing for a while, and then go to pick wild fruits, wild fruits picked for a while I was stunned to climb trees and dig birds' nests, and I didn't look at myself who were almost sixty people, a few meters high tree Canghai dared to let him climb.

"Hurry up," Qu Guowei patted Canghai on the shoulder again.

Guan Qidong also opened his mouth at this time and said: "Let's go over and take a look, I haven't touched a snail for a long time."

As soon as the teacher said this, Canghai naturally had no choice but to obey, gently patted the ugly donkey's buttocks, and after a drink, the ugly donkey pulled the cart and trotted along the river all the way to the upper reaches of the stream.

When he arrived next to Qin Lingling's few people, Qu Guowei jumped off the scooter, bent over with his hands behind his back, and asked a few people in the river, "What are you doing?"

"Catch insects!" Guan Lin looked up and saw Canghai and the servants coming, and stretched out his hand and waved the things in his hand as if he was ostentatious.

The insect in Guan Lin's hand was about a finger long, the thickness of chopsticks, and dangled in the little girl's hand.

"What is this?" Qu Guowei originally thought that everyone was touching the snails, but he didn't expect them to catch insects in the water.

Canghai knew what this thing was at a glance, and this thing was called water for food in my hometown, but in fact, this is the larva of a dragonfly, that is, the young form of a dragonfly flying in the sky, this thing needs at least a year in the water, and at most five or six years, seven or eight years to grow into a dragonfly with long wings flying in the sky.

"What are you doing with it?" Canghai scratched his head a little, this thing is a beneficial insect, Canghai feels that it should be protected, of course, it is that Canghai is not used to eating this thing, like frogs, Canghai will get some tooth sacrifices from time to time.

Qin Lingling said with a smile: "When I was a child, my family often went down to the river to catch this thing and fry it, it tasted very good, and when Ping An took us to touch the snails, I found that there were a lot of them in this river, so I touched some and prepared to serve you with dishes at night."

Canghai was also embarrassed to say to Shi Niang that this is a beneficial insect, let's not eat it, Shi Niang's family finally came to such a trip, just eat it.

Guan Qidong is knowledgeable in the end, and opened his mouth and said: "This is a beneficial insect, it seems to eat mosquito larvae in the water, and when it grows into a dragonfly, it almost feeds on mosquitoes in the air, and it is not good to eat it."

Qin Lingling said with a smile: "Let's just eat a little, and we didn't eat all these things, there are really a lot of them in this river, you see that we have just caught them for a while, and we have almost caught about forty of them."

Qu Guowei had already taken off his shoes at this time, rolled up the corners of his pants and went to the stream, and said as he walked: "Let's eat less, it's okay, didn't Canghai take us to catch a few big frogs today."

"Frog?" Guan Lin threw the water in his hand into the small bamboo basket on Ping'an's waist when he heard this, waded through the water to the side of the cart, stretched out his head and asked, "Where is the frog?"

Canghai smiled and said, "Haven't you seen a frog?"

"I've naturally seen frogs, but they're all a little bit, and I heard Ping'an say that the frogs here are about the same size as bullfrogs...... Guan Lin said.

Canghai stretched out his hand and smiled and pointed to the red bucket with a lid on the board car: "Where is it?"

Guan Lin opened the lid of the red bucket, glanced at it, and said loudly to Qin Lingling: "Mom, Mom, come and see, what a big frog."

Ping An looked up at Guan Lin proudly and said, "I'm not wrong, right?"

Qin Lingling curiously soaked the water she had just touched in her hand in the stream twice, threw it into the basket on Ping'an's waist, and then walked ashore: "What's so beautiful about frogs, it's just that they're bigger."

"Oh, such a big frog, it really looks like a bullfrog" Qin Lingling couldn't help but exclaim when she saw the frog in the bucket.

There is a difference between a frog and a bullfrog, the biggest difference in appearance is the body type, the bullfrog is fat, fat and lying there like a large toad, the frog's body is thin, there is not much meat on the belly, the back is green and the belly is white, and the small body squatting on the ground looks very slim.

"Canghai said that he would make a red oil frog for everyone at night," Guan Qidong said.

Qin Lingling asked, "Isn't it a pity to eat such a big frog?"

Canghai said: "Master, I still have a lot of this thing over there, and I don't plan to sell it for money, I can't eat it all by myself."

Now there are a lot of big frogs in the pond of Fenghuanggou and Jiaozituo, and you can find one lying in the aquatic grass by walking two steps along the edge of the pond, if Canghai is just used to entertain guests instead of selling it to make money, how can this thing be eaten up, even if it is sold, as long as it is not dry and fishing, there is no problem.

At this time, Qu Guowei's scream suddenly came, and everyone's eyes were immediately attracted to him.

Qu Guowei, who was standing in the stream, now clasped his fingers and shouted loudly: "This thing still bites!"

Qin Lingling smiled and said, "You have to be careful."

When Guan Lin heard this, he laughed and shouted: "Uncle Qu is so stupid."

Qu Guowei shook his fingers twice, and shouted at Guan Qidong with a smile: "Lao Guan, you also come down to play, this small stream is quite cool."

Guan Qidong waved his hand and replied: "It's better for you to play by yourself, I'm fine now, and you don't catch too much, just catch a little, there are still so many meat skewers left yesterday."

Qin Lingling listened and asked Canghai: "One day's time, you won't have any problem putting the meat skewers in the water tower on such a hot day, right?"

When Canghai heard this, he immediately patted his chest and assured his mother: "It's okay, it's okay to put it for three or four days, everyone in our village puts fresh meat in the water tower, and then I will take you to see it, if you put it in the refrigerator, it won't taste good, and it will be like fresh meat when you put it in the water tower for two or three days."

Guan Qidong listened and asked: "You can store meat in that water tower, this temperature is low enough."

Canghai smiled: "It's easy to catch a cold if you stay in this weather for a long time."

"Then I'm going to take a look, okay, you guys are catching insects here, let's go to the water tower to see" Guan Qidong heard the interest, he is engaged in architecture, he is very interested in all aspects of architecture, originally heard about the water tower yesterday and wanted to see it, who knew that this matter was forgotten early this morning, and now it has been brought up again, so the interest has come up again.

Qin Lingling opened her mouth and said, "I'll go and see it too."

Anyway, it was at the entrance of the village, and there was nothing far away, so Canghai drove the cart to the village and came directly along the river to the side of the water tower.

Stretched out his hand and opened the door of the water tower, and immediately a cool air slapped his face.

"Wow! it's really cool enough," Guan Qidong was stunned for a moment, raised his foot, and followed Canghai in.

"Teacher, watch the top of your head!"

Before Canghai's words fell, Guan Qidong's head made a close contact with a salted fish hanging above his head.

Guan Qidong put aside the salted fish, and when he looked up, he saw a lot of fish and meat hanging in the belly of the water tower, the most of which was fresh mutton, the sheep that the Canghai family had just killed, and the villagers more or less got some, and hung them in the water tower to eat slowly.

"Why are you hanging at the door?" asked Guan Qidong.

Canghai replied: "The villagers are not tall, there is a beam at the door, so naturally it will be hung at the door, be careful of fresh mutton" Canghai saw that the master came in, so he reminded him.

Most of the villagers are about one meter six or five, this is still a man, the old man and the old lady began to shrink at this age, in order to facilitate the hanging, they naturally can't hang things too high, and this is equivalent to everyone's natural refrigerator, no one will have nothing to come in and stay for half an hour, so you have to wear a leather jacket to stay, so it is not surprising that the beam at the door is the best place for the villagers to hang things.

Qin Lingling was much more careful than Guan Qidong, and bent down after entering the door.

There is nothing to see in the belly of the water tower, there is a well in the middle, there is an iron spiral ladder on the side, the ladder is not big enough for one person to go up, and the bottom section is still hung up, and the ladder can be hooked down with a hook.

Guan Qidong is interested in wells, probably because of his professional habits.

"No, the groundwater is not so cold, the temperature here is really low...... Guan Qidong muttered quietly.

Canghai didn't understand why, thinking that maybe it was the magic of space water, and seeing the teacher talking to himself, Canghai said about digging a well. Of course, what can be said is said, and what cannot be said is never mentioned.

"You prepare more beds, in the autumn I will take students to sketch, there may be sixteen or seventeen people, if there are few, there will be a dozen, the school has funds, but the fees on your side can't be too high," Guan Qidong said suddenly.

Canghai was a little stunned: "Come to me to sketch?"

Sketching Canghai knows, but coming here makes Canghai a little confused, because in the past, the school sketching was all about the famous mountains and rivers, why did he suddenly come to his own small village.

"Teacher, I really don't lack any money, the villagers have also jumped into a well-off life after planting watermelons here......" Canghai thought that the teacher had to take care of his own life, so he opened his mouth and said.

Canghai likes to be quiet, he doesn't like a group of people making trouble in the village, the teacher can come and a group of students to sketch, Canghai is not very interested.

"You think I'm here to take care of your village, your natural scenery here is characteristic, Guan Jian is that there are few people here, standing on the slope is the boundless yellow earth, and the valley is a woodland scene, such a good place to sketch is really hard to find," Guan Qidong said.

The teacher said so, Canghai had no choice but to respond.
