Chapter Eighty-Five: The Yellow Eel at Night
He wanted to go, because it was a childhood memory, and now he still has a little passion when he thinks about it. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
But Ah Chao was a little hesitant, he knew a lot about it, but what did he do with that thing?
I know that some places can be used as an ingredient, and some places don't know that this thing can be eaten at all.
Ah Chao is like this, I don't know if I can eat it, and no one eats it.
Seeing him hesitate so much, Cheng Lin also knew in his heart.
He didn't want to go, but he just couldn't refuse.
He changed the conversation and said, "Hehe, I'll just tell you, it's not very safe to go out at night!" ”
Going out at night to catch is different from daytime.
There are so many ways to catch it during the day!
One is to make a small net bag, fix the net bag on a long pole, and use the net bag to buckle it when you see it.
The other is to take it and make it sticky with flour and the like, wrap it around the head of the pole, and stick it on its back when you see it.
The former is more convenient, a net pocket can be used for a long time, but the disadvantage is that it will often run away.
Although the latter is a bit troublesome, it has to be remade every time, but it can stick one and the other is accurate, and the efficiency is very high.
That's all there is to it during the day, but it's different at night.
The night is the best time to catch it, because at night it is lying on the tree, and the eyesight is not good, if you don't make a big movement, you won't alarm it, and you won't run around.
That's where the opportunity comes.
According to its light-concentrating properties, at night find a large tree (poplars and the like) with a lot of knowledge on it, and then clear a clearing under the tree to build a small fire.
Be sure to clean it up, otherwise it will be easy to set fire to the prairie if you make a fire, and then it will not be you who will catch it, but someone else will catch you!
At this time, it is better to have two people, one person waiting next to him, and the other person going to shake the tree.
When you shake the tree, the people gathered on it will be alarmed, and then they will leave the tree and fly.
Knowing that they have a concentrating light, they will frantically pounce on the fire.
Like a moth to a fire, it is either burned by fire or burned to death.
The other person can pick it up with the bag, and if it goes well, they can get thousands of them in one night.
Qingshan Town is very popular, and the caught ones can be sold for five cents, and there are fifty yuan for a thousand.
You know, at this time, if you do odd jobs, it's only 20 yuan a day, and if you catch so much money in one night, who won't go?
Gradually, there are fewer and fewer people who know, and he hasn't been there for a long time.
This time he came here, and on the way, he saw a lot of people on the trees calling non-stop, which immediately aroused his thoughts.
It's just that Ah Chao doesn't seem to want to go much, so he has to respect the owner, this is not his territory.
In fact, Ah Chao didn't want to go, he also wanted to know what to do, but he had arranged it for the night.
Make an appointment to clamp the eel!
"Hehe, there's an arrangement tonight, go tong eel, I'll go there in the afternoon to see the situation!"
Pincer eel?
It was the first time Cheng Lin had heard this word, and he immediately left what he knew behind.
Scratching the interested question: "Clamp eel?" How to clamp it? ”
"Hehe, I haven't seen it, I'll show it to you!" Ah Chao will also be arrogant.
After saying that, he went to the house on his own and took out something like a tong.
Now that the sky is a little dark, Cheng Lin only knew that it was made of wood, a bit like the kind of pliers that sanitation workers pick up garbage.
By the light in the room, you can also see that the head of the pliers is not smooth, and there are many dense small fangs.
When you touch it with your hand, you can feel the pain very clearly.
"This tong is used to clamp the eel?" Wang Zhenjie also watched it, and felt that this thing was not very reliable.
The yellow eel is not dead, you use this guy to clamp, it will honestly give you tongs?
Ah Chao saw that Cheng Lin and the others had seen this thing for the first time, so he explained to them: "Yes, this is the tool for clamping the yellow eel!" The yellow eel basically only comes out at night, and the movement is not fast, and it is easy to clamp it with a flashlight. ”
The yellow eel looks like a snake, but it usually moves a bit like a sloth, one meal at a time, not very fast.
Of course, if it is alarmed, it will act very quickly, at least it is not good to use such pliers.
Therefore, clamping the yellow eel is also a craft, and the clamping should be fast and accurate.
Cheng Lin knew the feasibility of this thing after a little pondering, and asked Ah Chao excitedly: "Ah Chao, this thing can also clamp loaches, right?" ”
"Yes. But loaches are very cunning and not good at pincering! ”
Indeed, the loaches don't look at them at night, they are also dullly attached to the stone wall on the shore, but they run fast as soon as there is movement, so that you can't see it.
Therefore, at night, whether it is a loach or a yellow eel, you have to shine a flashlight on them.
It's like catching a frog at night, focusing the light on their eyes.
In this way, there is a chance of success with pliers.
Having said so much, not only Cheng Lin is interested, but even Wang Zhenjie can't wait.
"Uh, that...... I'll call my friend! ”
Ah Chao made an appointment with a friend in the same village during the day, and he couldn't be left behind when he went at night.
After talking to Cheng Lin, he disappeared into the night with a flashlight and went to call someone to get ready to go!
As soon as he left, Wang Zhenjie asked: "Xiao Linzi, is the black light really going?" ”
"Go, why don't you go!"
After the two talked like this, they didn't say anything anymore, drank tea quietly, and waited for Ah Chao to come back.
"That...... My friend isn't going, it's just us! ”
Ah Chao came back, came back alone, and his friend didn't come.
But he came back with another pair of pliers in his hand, and said to them, "Hehe, it's just right if you don't come, I'll bring his pliers for you to use!" ”
"Haha, thank you very much!"
It doesn't take much to clamp the eel at night, one flashlight per person, three pliers, and a bucket are enough.
However, before leaving, Cheng Lin and the others were still called by Ah Chao: "Xiao Cheng, don't worry, you have to change your shoes!" ”
"What shoes? Can't I do this? ”
"No, you have to wear high-quality rain boots!"
Wang Zhenjie asked suspiciously: "Why?" ”
Ah Chao rolled his eyes and didn't answer him, but Cheng Lin pulled him and said, "Why...... Why do you think you are 100,000? ”
"Didn't I know?"
"Sometimes ignorance is blessed!" After that, I ignored him, just let him go out at night to pay attention, and don't leave the group.
Cheng Lin is a countryman, and Ah Chao said that he would wear high-quality rain boots when he went out, and he knew that the night here might not be very peaceful.
It's not that there is anything to kill people and sell goods, but that there are a lot of snakes, insects, rats and ants.
On a big night, if you go out in ordinary shoes, you may be bitten by something if you are not careful.
It's a rural area, and the medical facilities are very poor, and maybe such a bite will lead to all kinds of bad consequences.
Ah Chao doesn't say it, in fact, he is also particular.
This is the same as everyone saying Wishing you prosperity at the beginning of the new year, trying to be at ease.
If you say it, isn't it to be unlucky?
After tidying up, the three of them drove to the aqueduct where they met in the afternoon.
"The water here is so mixed that I can't see clearly!"
The aqueduct is knee-deep and lined with stone walls, making it a bit difficult to clamp eels in such a place.
"It's not this, let's go to their fields and catch it!" The eel is a nuisance to the farmer because it burrows.
You know, rice fields are in need of water, and if there are some holes drilled out of the field by yellow eels, won't it leak to the bottom?
Although each hole may not be big, it can't hold much!
Therefore, people like Ah Chao come to the field at night to catch yellow eels, even if they destroy the crops a little, the owner will not blame, as long as they don't destroy too hard, it's fine.
Ah Chao took the lead in front and led a few people to the field he said.
Not far away, Ah Chao stopped.
They walked on the ridges, which were very narrow, and they all walked in rows.
Cheng Lin was the second, and when Ah Chao stopped, he thought he was on the ground, so he asked, "Arrived?" ”
"Nope!"
"How did it stop!"
"Look ......"
Ah Chao didn't speak, turned sideways slightly, and asked Cheng Lin to step forward and look.
"I'm good! It's been a few years, hasn't it? Seeing the thick and yellow thing on his arm, Cheng Lin couldn't help but smack his tongue.
Wang Zhenjie, who couldn't be seen behind, also looked forward vigorously, and finally saw something across the ridge after worrying about his toes, and exclaimed: "Damn, such a big ......"
"Shut up!"
It's really better to talk less about these things at night, Cheng Lin just heard that he just wanted to say it, so he drank it.
Wang Zhenjie also felt out of shape and immediately shut up.
But before he finished speaking, he felt very uncomfortable, and he muttered: "Such a big ...... Such a big worm! ”
This is a snake, with the thickness of an arm, if it was a little smaller, it is estimated that Ah Chao would have done it, but this one is a little bigger, and he didn't dare to get on it.
After waiting for a while, the big snake finally slipped away, and the three of them passed quickly.
"Damn, I finally know why I'm wearing high rain boots, it's so scary!"
I didn't see the head of this snake, I don't know what kind of it is, but this size is also scared Wang Zhenjie's heart and liver.
Then several people were also a lot more careful, and they couldn't get three eyes, always afraid of accidentally stepping on something like that.
After a while, Ah Chao led them to a small ditch and said that this was it.
"Oh? Arrived? Hurry up, get some and we'll go back early! Wang Zhenjie was a little scared in his heart, looking left and right, he always felt as if there was something else in the dark.
Cheng Lin saw him so nervous for the first time, so he teased him and said, "Hehe, Brother Wang, are you still afraid of this thing?" Look, there's one more after you! ”
"Damn!" Wang Zhenjie was taken aback, and instantly took a big step forward before looking back.
But what kind of snake is there, Cheng Lin favors him.
So it was another frolic.
Of course, Wang Zhenjie is the one who frolic, and Cheng Lin is the one who was beaten.
The atmosphere was almost adjusted, and the three of them took the flashlights and looked for the target.
"Hey, it's so cunning, hiding in the water weeds!" Wang Zhenjie's eyes were sharp, and he was the first to see a yellow eel, and he pointed the pliers at the poor little guy and slammed it.
Success was clamped.
At this time, the small fangs in the front of the pliers showed the effect, no matter how the yellow eel struggled, no matter how sticky it was, it couldn't break free from the pliers, and was successfully put into the bucket by Wang Zhenjie.
With the first end, Cheng Lin and the others found a lot one after another, some were successfully captured, and some missed the opportunity because they were accidentally drilled into the cave.
This night, not too much, no less, less than two hours to catch a small half bucket.
Finally, the few people encountered another snake, black and white, which could be seen at a glance as a poisonous snake.
A few people also felt that this place was indeed a bit dangerous, so they hastily packed up and planned to go home.
They just came out to have fun, not to die.
