It was not dark yet, and Liu Daode cooked the meal early. After the two of them finished eating, they began to concentrate on catching monkeys in the courtyard. At this point, the monkey under the ground has climbed to the surface, and only a thin layer of soil is missing. There is a small hole the size of a soybean on the upper side, which is a distinct feature.
As soon as it gets dark, they will break through the ground.
Lin Xiaotong caught a monkey last year, and he is very experienced in this, so he lowered his head and searched the ground, and from time to time he called out in surprise: "There is a hole in this ......."
Most of them can be brought out with small sticks, and a few quickly hide underground after knowing that the monkey cave has been dug up. At this time, Liu Daode needed to come out and pour water into it with a bamboo tube. Force them out.
When I searched in front of the hospital and in the back of the yard, it was almost dark. The harvest is quite rich, more than 30, which can be sold for ten yuan.
This is just a prelude, and the next is the best time to catch the monkeys. The two of them made a roll of tape and wrapped it around a tree. This is also one of the tricks to catching monkeys. The trunk of the tree is wrapped around the tape, knowing that when the monkey climbs to the bottom, it is too smooth to go up at all, so it can only stay at the edge of the tape and be in a hurry, and when the time comes, you can only catch it from tree to tree.
The two of them didn't run far, they finished wrapping the trunk of the tree outside the courtyard, and then sat in the courtyard and waited. I checked it every half an hour, and there were twenty or thirty harvests each time.
While waiting, Liu Daode groped out two bowls of melons in the front yard. Clean, one per person, for supper.
By half past eleven, I felt almost done, and I called it a day, and I caught a total of half a washbasin.
Then Liu Daode hugged the basin, and the two went to the village together.
At this time, the village was full of lights, and the sound of excitement was everywhere.
On the embankment, 100-watt light bulbs hang high, shining as if it were daytime. Several farmhouses in the village have set up stalls here, and the business is not bad.
What Liu Daode didn't expect was that the vendors in the town who had learned about the monkeys also set up stalls in Liu Village, Hedong. When you see them, stop them immediately. Knowing that the monkey was sold, a hundred yuan was put into the account. Lin Xiaotong sighed a little, this money came easily, and it basically didn't take much effort.
Seeing that the river embankment was so lively, Liu Daode wanted to find a table and eat anything, but was vetoed by Lin Xiaotong.
I just ate a big melon before I came, and if I am not hungry or thirsty, it is better to walk along the river embankment and see the night view.
However, this plan fell through, and as soon as he walked a few steps, someone called Liu Daodao's name.
He turned his head and saw that it was Guo Songyang and his girlfriend, with a few colleagues. When he met an acquaintance, Liu Daode hurriedly went over to say hello, but was pulled by Guo Songyang, saying that he didn't let him go, he had to sit down and play for a while and drink a bottle of beer.
Yes, Liu Daode couldn't refuse, so he nodded at Lin Xiaotong.
After a glass of cold beer, he asked curiously: "Why did you run to Liu Village, Hedong, there are so many restaurants on the street?" "You don't know if you don't go to the street, now the restaurants in the town are not as busy as your Hedong Liu Village Night Market." The environment here is good, there are mountains, rivers and atmosphere......" Guo Songyang's girlfriend explained with a smile.
Think about it, for the same money, of course, you have to choose a place with a good environment.
Young people have a lot of topics together, and they talk until they are a little sooner.
"My suitcase is still at your house?" As soon as he got down the embankment, Lin Xiaotong suddenly remembered something.
"Then you wait a while, I'll get it for you. Liu Daode hurriedly replied.
"I'll go too, I bought you a pair of pants when I came, and I forgot to take them out in the afternoon. Lin Xiaotong said and followed.
"Why did you buy it for me again, I can't finish my clothes. ”
"I'm willing, can't I?"
Now that the heat has completely subsided, the night breeze caresses and the surrounding fireflies are dotted. From time to time, there were a few frogs chirping in the ditch, and when they got closer, the sound stopped again. Far away from the hustle and bustle on the embankment, it seems so quiet.
Through the hazy moonlight, Liu Daode found that Lin Xiaotong was particularly intoxicating tonight. Involuntarily, he took the other party's hand.
"What are you doing? It's not too hot. Lin Xiaotong struggled slightly, not resolutely.
"Holding the hand of the son, growing old with the son" thought to himself, Liu Daode said softly.
"Silly"
From the head of the village to the courtyard, the distance was only thirty or forty meters, and the two walked very slowly.
When he got home, the general went out to greet him, and the foodie also called twice to say hello.
Waiting for the other party to pack up his things, Liu Daode suddenly said: "It's late now, or you don't go over, anyway, there is a place to live at home." ”
As far as he knew, Lin Xiaotong did not book a room at the farmhouse this time.
"Hmm" Lin Xiaotong was silent for a moment, and finally nodded.
What's that...... It's not what everyone thinks. Lin Xiaotong occupied the master bedroom, while Liu Daode took a bamboo mat and slept on the top of the second floor.
……
When he got up in the morning, Lin Xiaotong knew that he was worried about nothing, and he couldn't catch it. When I got up to brush my teeth, I found that there was a shell crawling on the pressurized water well. Turning his head again, there were two on the gable of the old house, and one of the shells still had a freshly molted tender knowledge on the top of the shell.
She cleaned up quickly, then grabbed her camera and started taking pictures.
On the peach tree, Chen thorned the edge of the fence, and when he glanced at it, he found more than a dozen of them.
So, after breakfast, the two began to know the shell in and out of the courtyard again.
Seeing that the owner was busy, the squirrel also came to join in the fun, jumping up and down the tree. After a while, seven or eight knew the shells were sent. Thinking they had found help, the two began to instruct Ash to climb the tree.
But soon they found out that this guy was unreliable...... I only picked up twenty or thirty of them, and when the novelty passed, the squirrels began to stumble, saying that they didn't want to get it.
The next few days passed simply, and when the day was cool, the shell was known, and the two of them sat in the courtyard to rest on a hot day, and the cat was summer. You play on the computer and I read without interfering with each other. If you don't find a TV series, the two of them will watch it together. In the afternoon, the goods are delivered by mail, or the sun is not so hot, go into the vegetable garden to weed and make dried beans.
I can't eat all the beans in the yard, except for giving them to the eldest brother's house, there are still a lot of leftovers every day, and they are all dried.
In the evening, he continued to catch and sell for money. After ten days of hard work, I got the shell out of the takeout, and there were thousands of yuan in the account. This is pure profit, which is higher than the benefit of digging.
"This is what you call cultivation, isn't there anything unusual?" When it rained, Liu Daode practiced in the house, and Lin Xiaotong watched from the side. After watching it for a while, I didn't think it was interesting.
"What do you think cultivation is like?" Liu Daode paused and asked rhetorically.
"I watched people practicing on TV, and the heat was constantly rising above my head, like taking a sauna. You're too bland. ”
"Khan, I'm not so mysterious," Liu Daode hurriedly explained. Then ask, "Do you feel anything unusual around you?"
"What's unusual...... Nope"
"Oh"
Liu Daode was not disappointed, he had expected such a result before. In the path of cultivation, talent and opportunity are indispensable.
He did this tonight just to let Lin Xiaotong know more about himself, step by step, and gradually accept this fact. Just looking at Lin Xiaotong's bland reaction, he was a little speechless.
This girl's nerves are really big, didn't you see that several animals in the courtyard surrounded him when he was cultivating?
