Qin Xiaochuan slowly calmed down, and after a visual inspection, there were about forty or fifty catfish, of different sizes, and there were more than ten water snakes, the largest of which was as thick as a wrist, and the smallest was the size of a thumb.

You know, the water snake feeds on fish and is its natural predator. But at this moment, the catfish seems to have forgotten that it is facing the threat of death at any time, and the water snake does not seem to want to have a full meal, and the two different creatures live in harmony.

Thinking of the purpose of this trip, Qin Xiaochuan couldn't be afraid, stretched out his hand to pick the fat catfish and caught it, and soon filled a bucket with his hand, and it was estimated that it was about a hundred catties.

In the process of catching fish, Qin Xiaochuan sometimes accidentally touched the water snake, but the water snake did not attack him, nor did he have the intention of escaping, and still surrounded him.

Qin Xiaochuan thought about how to deal with those water snakes.

Water snakes, like catfish, are also the favorites of city dwellers on the dinner table. Because there are more people who eat them, wild snakes are becoming more and more difficult to catch, so there are people who specially raise snakes, and the sales price is quite expensive, but the taste is more than one level worse than the wild ones.

Since the water snake was not hostile to him, Qin Xiaochuan wanted to catch them and buy them together, but at this time, there was nothing to hold these things that looked a little devoiding, so he had to shake his head and plan to give up.

After putting away the fishing nets, Qin Xiaochuan carried a bucket full of catfish and prepared to leave.

If it was before, he would definitely not be able to lift this bucket full of catfish, but since he cultivated the "Five Elements Spiritual Technique", the strength of his muscles has increased N times, and lifting this bucket weighing more than 100 catties is easy for him now.

By the time he returned home, it was already past six o'clock in the afternoon, and night had begun to fall.

Lin Yan was stunned by the bucket full of wild catfish carried by Qin Xiaochuan, and it took a long time to come to her senses, her eyes were full of annoyance, and there was a trace of love, her lips trembled, and she scolded sharply: "Xiaochuan, you don't want to die, how dare you go to Xishan?"

The old and young masters of Nanxi Village all know that nowadays, only catfish exist in Xishan, and it is a vicious place.

In the past, there were also people in the village who couldn't resist the temptation of high profits and went to Xishan to catch wild catfish, but the people who went either went and didn't return, or came back with broken arms and legs.

Deng Houhan, the most famous old hunter in Nanxi Village, was not convinced, took hunting knives, forks, bows and arrows and other tools, and went to Xishan to catch fish. Since then, no one in Nanxi Village has dared to fight the idea of wild catfish in Xishan.

Qin Xiaochuan disagreed, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, what's wrong with going to Xishan?"

When the guess was confirmed from the little uncle's mouth, Lin Yan's face suddenly turned pale, and he grabbed Qin Xiaochuan's arm violently, and his voice was so cold that he shuddered: "Follow me!"

Unable to help but say, Lin Yan dragged Qin Xiaochuan straight to the hall, stood still in front of a wall with a posthumous portrait, turned around, and looked at Qin Xiaochuan coldly: "Kneel down for your brother!"

Qin Xiaochuan was stunned and said, "Sister-in-law......"

Lin Yan gritted her teeth and raised her tone, "Kneel!"

Qin Xiaochuan saw his sister-in-law's cold, ruthless look, and felt that the matter was serious, so he immediately knelt down obediently.

Lin Yan herself knelt down on the side, looked up at the portrait on the wall, tears rolled down uncontrollably, and choked up, "Da Chuan, you scold me." Xiao Chuan secretly went to Xishan to catch fish today, it was my incompetence as a sister-in-law who couldn't afford to repay the loan shark, and forced him to this point......"

Her voice was like a cry and a heartbreak.

When Qin Xiaochuan heard this, he felt his sister-in-law's strong care and love for him, and lowered his head sadly, blaming himself, guilty, and remorse...... All kinds of emotions are intertwined, and he hesitates: "Sister-in-law, I was wrong......"

Lin Yan wiped a handful of tears, turned her head to look at him, and said coldly: "Xiaochuan, I want you to swear in front of your brother's portrait that you will never go to Xishan to catch fish in the future!"

In order not to worry Lin Yan, Qin Xiaochuan said ruthlessly: "I swear that I will never go to Xishan to catch fish in the future." ”

Lin Yan was satisfied, pulled Qin Xiaochuan to stand up together, looked at him affectionately, and said: "Xiaochuan, I promised your brother that I must take good care of you, if you have three long and two short, how can I explain to your brother under Jiuquan? ”

Qin Xiaochuan felt that his nose was sour, and he had an urge to cry, and said with tears in his eyes: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I won't let you pay off the debt, I will definitely pay off the loan shark on time!"

Lin Yan touched his head and smiled sadly: "Xiaochuan, with your heart, my sister-in-law will be content." You must have worked hard today, sister-in-law will cook for you. ”

At this time, I only heard Xiaowei shouting in surprise outside: "Mother, where did you get so many fish?"

The two of them hurriedly walked to the yard and saw Xiaowei and Xiaohu squatting by the bucket, each holding a wild catfish, and they were having fun.

The catfish is close to the head, with a pair of hard, sharp fins, Lin Yan was afraid that it would stab Xiao Wei's hand, so he said coquettishly: "Xiao Wei, Xiao Hu, that fish can't play, be careful of thorns!"

Xiaowei quickly ran to Lin Yan's side, hugged her legs, and said coquettishly: "Mother, I want to eat fish." ”

"Xiaowei, this fish was caught by your uncle and sold for money. Lin Yan coaxed her son, "When you sell it tomorrow, let the uncle chop the meat and come back to eat, okay?"

Lin Yan had a shrewd calculation in her heart,

When my son is growing his body, he definitely needs nutrition. But wild catfish is seventy or eighty yuan a catty, while pork is only a dozen yuan a catty. It's all about nutrition, and she's definitely going to choose the latter.

"No, the fish is delicious, I'm going to eat the fish. Xiaowei was entangled.

"You kid, why don't you listen to your mother. Lin Yan got angry and slapped Xiaowei's ass hard.

These catfish were caught by the uncle at the risk of his life, in order to sell them to pay off the debt, how can they be eaten by the child?

Xiaowei immediately burst into tears.

Qin Xiaochuan walked over, hugged Xiao Wei into his arms, comforted him and said, "Xiao Wei is good, don't cry, let your mother cook fish to eat tonight." ”

Xiao Wei hugged Qin Xiaochuan's neck and said with teary eyes: "Really, Uncle didn't lie to me, right?" ”

"Uncle never lied to you. Qin Xiaochuan picked up Xiaowei and said to Lin Yan with a smile: "Sister-in-law, a fish is not worth a few dollars, cook one, Xiaowei should also supplement a little nutrition." ”

"Oh, you, just get used to him. Lin Yan shook her head and sighed, glared at Xiaowei dissatisfied, and grabbed a catfish into the kitchen.

Seeing this, Xiaohu pulled the corner of Qin Xiaochuan's clothes and shouted, "Uncle Xiaochuan, I also want to eat fish." ”

Qin Xiaochuan stretched out his other hand, hugged Xiaohu as well, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, let you two little gluttonous cats eat enough tonight." ”
