Chapter VI

The next day, Li Mo went to the vegetable market in the town to buy two taels of pork liver. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

After returning home, Li Mo hurriedly cut it into small strips, put it on the rusty needle of soft-shelled turtle fishing, and then put the soft-shelled turtle fishing seeds in the blue seeds, and set off to the back.

There are several big long ditches in the back, which belong to Litan Village, and the Tangwan production team also has some ditches, but where are the parents working, before they see the harvest, if they let the parents find out, they will be sad.

When he came to the edge of the ditch, Li Mo put down the blue seed, wrapped the thread in mud, and threw the thread into the middle of the pond. In the evening, the nylon line is put away along the mouth of the fishing stake, and it is finished by placing it in the blue. Or don't accept it, put away the thread, replace it with pork liver and throw it into the water again, if the pork liver is not pecked by small fish and shrimp, even the pork liver does not need to be replaced. By the second half of the night, put them away so that the harvest will be even greater. However, Li Mo is young and there is no flashlight at home, even if there is, it is impossible for Li Guangping and his wife to let him run around by the water in the second half of the night.

In fact, fishing for soft-shelled turtles is hard work.

It's not like fishing, where you sit still, you need a lot of fish, and in order to save costs, each piece needs to be spaced 100 meters apart. Just like Li Mo prepared more than 50 fishing pieces this time, he had to walk twelve or thirteen miles just to release and harvest them at the water's edge.

When he was a child in his previous life, Li Mo's father, Li Guangping, worked harder, doing things in the morning, setting off in the afternoon, and coming back in the morning. Because there are more anglers, I have to increase the number of fishers, and I often have to take a hundred fishers out and go twenty or thirty miles away to catch soft-shelled turtle and black fish, that is, in these ten hours, I have to walk more than 60 miles back and forth!

But at this time, people can really endure hardship.

There are people working in the fields.

Lizhuang Village was moved down from Litan Village, with a Li on his head.

Seeing Li Mo fishing, someone asked curiously.

In the past ten years, it has been fine, and in the future, all the ditches and ponds have been contracted. Some people don't ask, after all, black fish eat small fish, and as for the soft-shelled turtle hiding in the mud in winter, it can't be caught by ordinary methods. But if it is unreasonable, all the fish will be confiscated. Others were greedy and "confiscated" the soft-shelled turtle blackfish they caught from other fish ponds.

Li Mo remembered that he caught more than 40 catties of black fish in one night that year, and he was happy, but the two of them came out of the rape field and shouted, why did you steal my fish. After arguing for a long time, he gave Li Mo the two smallest black fish.

At this point, there was no way to fish any further. Soon Li Mo graduated, began to wander in the city, and then became more and more unfamiliar with the countryside......

When dozens of fishermen came back, it was already noon.

The little sister clamored to eat the mulberry fruit, that is, the mulberry.

"The Usango isn't ripe yet."

"It's ripe, it's red." The little sister pouted and said.

There is now only one mulberry tree in the village, located on the edge of the pond of Li Yi's house at the back of the village, which has a history of several decades, and no one can hold it.

Li Mo took his little sister to the back of Li Yi's house, and looked at the big mulberry tree.

Most of the mulberry berries are not yet ripe and are scattered among the green leaves, but a few are beginning to be half red and half purple, and they are on the trees.

"I can't knock the bamboo pole."

"I want to eat, I want to eat."

This is an era of extreme lack of material life, children are greedy, Li Mo was also greedy in his previous life, and adults are actually greedy, but they are resolute and can control it.

Li Mo continued to look at the big tree and said, "Little sister, you go home and bring a basket and a clothesline." ”

"Okay." The little sister returned home, took a bamboo basket and a bundle of clothesrope, and ran under the big mulberry tree.

This mulberry tree is very tall, the main trunk is thick, slippery and not easy to grasp, until six or seven meters high did the tree branches appear, Li Mo did not climb up once when he was a child in his previous life. When it was time to climb up, the willow leaf polder where Cao Zhen was located was broken (the embankment in the middle of the lake is the polder, the river water outside the polder is often higher than the polder in spring, summer and autumn, sometimes the river water breaks the polder, and all the fields in the polder will be flooded into a lake in an instant, which is called broken polder), and the mulberry tree also drowned.

However, the current Li Mo will undoubtedly have a lot of tree climbing skills.

He put the rope on his shoulder, spat into his palm, and climbed up the tree in his arms.

Climbing to the top of the tree, Li Mo hugged the branch, lifted the basket with a rope, and began to pick the ripe Wusang fruit.

The corners of the little sister's mouth dripped saliva, and she shouted loudly: "Brother is so powerful, brother is so powerful." ”

Li Yi's wife heard it, ran out of the house, and shouted: "Little Mozi, it's dangerous, come down quickly." ”

In fact, Li Mo has anemia, and other reasons, anyway, his health is not good, which causes Li Mo to have a slight fear of heights. Standing here, eight or nine meters above the ground, although Li Mo was picking Wusang fruits, for his own safety, he was also holding the branch with one hand, and it was absolutely impossible to fall down. But Li Yi's wife is also kind, what if something happens?

"Auntie, I'll come down right away." Li Mo said.

However, Li Yi's wife's roar, Li Mo's parents also heard it, they ran out of the house, Li Guangping picked up the bamboo strip and whipped it at Li Mo.

Li Mo was silent.

His parents are also kind, but can't they say something well?

"Sad childhood......" Li Mo thought speechlessly in his heart.

The hot afternoon came, it was really hot, even if the small table was placed under the shade of a tree to write homework, Li Mo was still dripping with sweat beads, and from time to time there were beads of sweat dripping on the homework book.

"Bear with it for a few more years."

The sun is setting in the west.

Li Mo found a snakeskin bag and went out to collect fish with a basket.

It is also fast to collect fish, but it is slow to catch soft-shelled turtles. Just such a nylon thread, you have to be very careful, otherwise it will be torn off. First of all, you have to stand at the water's edge, which is the first difficulty, because there is a rainy season, to prevent crops from being flooded, generally the ditch is very high from the water surface, you have to carefully slide down the ditch, and then lift the soft-shelled turtle up.

In addition, the soft-shelled turtle suffers, will drag the nylon thread to struggle everywhere, sometimes twisted on the dense aquatic grass, sometimes twisted on the dead branches that fall in the ditch, especially in the back, everyone began to raise fish, afraid that someone would steal the fish with fishing nets, and deliberately cut down many large branches and fell in the ditch.

Then you have to go into the water, swim, dive, and slowly follow the thread to sort out the soft-shelled turtle. Once in his previous life, Li Mo caught a mulberry snake weighing more than two catties, whose scientific name is red chain snake, which was twisted on a tree branch and could not be seen standing on the shore.

But now it's okay, there are not many dead branches in the ditch pond, because the silt is often fished out, and even the aquatic weeds are also fished up, and the aquatic weeds are not dense.

I caught four soft-shelled turtles before and after, all of them stood on the edge of the water, and they caught them.

Li Mo returned home with a basket full of fishing in one hand and a snakeskin bag containing four soft-shelled turtles in the other, and it was already getting late.

"Where have you gone?" Li Guangping asked with a bamboo strip.

Li Mo's face was indifferent, and he said flatly: "I fished for soft-shelled turtles." ”

Of course, at this time, Li Guangping definitely didn't know the meaning of fishing for soft-shelled turtles, so he pulled down a bamboo strip, and at the same time said: "If you don't do your homework, what kind of soft-shelled turtle to catch." ”

"What do you do your homework? Is it for good grades? Is it possible to do good grades just by doing homework? I have to read a lot of books, I have to do a lot of review questions, I have to buy a lot of homework books, I have to buy a lot of pens, do you have this money at home? ”

Okay, Li Guangping's hand holding the bamboo strip hung down.
