Chapter 114: Crocodiles, Monkeys, Cormorants
Chapter 114 [Crocodile, Monkey, Cormorant]
For the sake of safety, Li Qingshan specially asked Qi Jingtian to prepare a gong according to the number of heads yesterday, and once there is danger, he can immediately sound the warning, and when the time comes, several gongs will be sounded together, which should be able to disperse the crocodile quickly, but the movement will be a little bigger.

Of course, with a good operation, this situation does not necessarily occur, just in case.
Killing crocodiles is not a joke, these things must be considered thoroughly, and in order to strengthen the safety factor, several people are wearing leather armor.
Li Qingshan's method has been proven to be feasible, and everyone has eaten crocodile meat, so these people are not as afraid of crocodiles psychologically as before, and they are all eager to try it at this time.
However, it is not very convenient to operate in this place that there are no small tributaries, because when those crocodiles hear the call of the ducks, they tend to make a group commotion, and this method is best to deal with only one crocodile at a time.
Li Qingshan asked Qi Jingtian and learned that not far to the west was the place where the small river and the big river in front of the shop converged, and after thinking about it for a while, he asked them to change venues.
Fortunately, it was not far away, and it was a hundred steps to the west, and after changing the venue, it was much smoother.
Soon a crocodile was introduced into the creek and swam after the panicked ducks.
After that, things were simple, although these people were working together for the first time, they also cooperated well, and soon killed the crocodile.
However, in the end, it was the first time to do it, and there was still a little situation, and the rope on the duck's body may be too short, and the mobility decreased. And something that is not covered. In the end, he was bitten to death by a crocodile. But it's not the last one.
And because the distance was not calculated, the place where the knife was buried was too close to the river, and after the crocodile was cut in the belly, it actually dragged its intestines and internal organs into the river, and swam for a long distance before finally it could not swim anymore, and after hanging up, it floated in the water, dyeing the surrounding river water a blood red.
In fact, Li Qingshan had already seen these two problems before, but he deliberately stood by and watched them operate. but did not open his mouth to remind them.
It's okay if it's out of the situation, and they will remember it next time.
Wang Liu and the others laughed wryly, and waited until the crocodile was dead, and then they went into the river and dragged it ashore.
Looking at the results of the first crocodile killing, everyone was happy, but they were all a little emotional.
Unexpectedly, the fierce and terrible crocodile was actually destroyed in a few clicks, if it weren't for the effort to drag the crocodile ashore just now, several people didn't even sweat a drop.
Like an old naughty boy, Niu Laosan mischievously pried open the crocodile's mouth with a wooden stick, touched the row of sharp teeth and admired it. Obediently, this is a bite. The consequences are unimaginable.
Everyone once again sighed at the awesomeness of this method, listening to Li Qingshan say that it is one thing, and it is definitely another thing to actually operate it yourself.
The greatest pleasure comes from the moment the crocodile crawls over the knife, as if it can hear the sound of the knife cutting through the flesh.
The two young men were Wang Liu's nephews, and Li Qingshan knew that they were all loyal servants who followed Chen Ruolan from birth to death, and he was not worried that they would leak secrets, but he still reiterated the matter of secrecy again to strengthen their attention.
Thinking that there will be no need to supply crocodile meat in limited quantities in the future, the stone in Qi Jingtian's heart has also fallen to the ground, the reputation of crocodile meat has now been out, if it is suddenly out of stock, it is really a big oolong, fortunately, there is Li Qingshan, and now the supply problem has finally been solved.
There must be at least a thousand crocodiles in the river, and they are endless, this is a great treasure!
Several people were rejoicing, gearing up to kill one more, but Qi Jingtian's face suddenly changed slightly.
Everyone turned their heads to look at him, and saw seven or eight men in black walking towards him with murderous vigour.
These men are wearing the same black turbans on their heads, and they are also dressed in a water suit, and the weapons and knives in their hands are all kind, all of them are very strong, and you can feel the recklessness of that body from a distance.
They are obviously water cowards on the river, Qi Jingtian was nervous, and subconsciously clenched the knife in his hand.
Li Qingshan had already seen that the person in charge was the leper he had seen last night, and hurriedly signaled everyone to calm down, but he turned around to greet him.
The leper doesn't look leprosy at all, and his appearance is not strong, but he looks delicate in these water kou, but several other water kou who look crooked melons and cracked jujubes are all following him, and they seem to be quite convinced.
Li Qingshan looked around for a while, and saw that there was no one else, so he hugged his fists and called "Brother Lai" lightly, but the leper still had the same indifferent expression as last night, nodded, and asked why he didn't meet at the agreed place.
Li Qingshan smiled and pointed to the crocodile corpse on the cart over there, and explained, "...... There's a river here that makes it easy to trap crocodiles, so we came over. ”
The leper was obviously stunned for a moment, and the other water scoundrels were also startled, one by one, you look at me, I look at you, staring at each other.
Finally, a bold man came over with a knife and looked at it from afar, and sure enough, he saw a crocodile lying motionless on the cart, and hurriedly waved his hand to call the other companions to come and take a look.
However, they don't know whether the crocodile is dead or alive, but they still don't dare to approach, they have been running boats on the river for many years, and the power of this beast is better than ordinary people.
Niu Laosan was naughty again, glanced at them, and simply pried up the crocodile's big mouth with a wooden stick as he did just now, and this time he put his hand in, and saw that the water cowards were cold.
But in this way, they finally believed that the crocodile had already hung up, and immediately walked over and touched and looked.
The leper was shocked at this time, lowered his head and thought about it, and asked in shock: "Brother Li, could it be that you are the one, that ......?"
Seeing that he couldn't find a word for a long time, Li Qingshan simply admitted: "Brother Lai should be in the next ...... Why, we are going to kill the crocodile, didn't the big boss tell you? ”
The leper hurriedly shook his head: "No, the big boss only told me about the monkey...... Oh yes, and waterfowl or something. But the crocodile didn't say a word. ”
"I mentioned this to the big boss. Maybe he didn't take it to heart. ”
Li Qingshan laughed twice. Hurriedly waved his hand and called Wang Liuqi Jingtian and all of them to come over, pointed to the leper and introduced: "Hurry up and see Brother Lai." ”
The leper Xu was startled by the crocodile, changed his arrogance just now, and greeted everyone politely with his fists. After a period of greetings, he also stepped forward and touched the crocodile on the car, and inserted it with a knife, and finally sighed that this beast's skin was really thick.
A waterman with thick eyebrows and big eyes drooled next to him and said, "Three masters, I heard that crocodile meat is fragrant." I don't know what it tastes like, but yesterday I listened to my mother-in-law's chatter. ”
Li Qingshan heard it clearly, and hurriedly glanced at Qi Jingtian, Qi Jingtian immediately understood, and with a wave of his hand, several people carried the crocodile and walked in the direction of the river.
Li Qingshan looked at the riverside for a while: "Brother Lai, where is your boat, this crocodile is quite fat, do me a little favor later, and bring it back to the big boss and brothers to taste it." ”
The leper hurriedly pushed and said no. But the drooling Shui Kou just now had already smiled and went to lead the way, and the leper smiled at Li Qingshan: "These little ones." There are no rules, but Brother Li laughs. ”
"Where, where it should be, tell Uncle Qi and them after eating, there will be more in the future."
The hand-holding man was short, and the attitude of the leper head was obviously kind, and he said a few polite words, and then as if he remembered something, he walked to the side of the cart again, and looked at the straight hair of the rope fishing nets on the car.
"What's wrong?" Li Qingshan asked.
"Brother Li, didn't the big boss ask you to bring monkey trapping utensils? I look at these...... It's not like it, there are a lot of ...... in our stockade in fishing nets."
Li Qingshan patted his head at this time, and hurriedly took out the two cups from his body and handed them to the leper head.
"What is this for?" The leper couldn't figure it out, and looked at the strange cup in his hand over and over again.
The cup was made of bronze, and the bottom and opening were quite large, but the middle suddenly narrowed, and it looked a bit like an hourglass.
The two cups are of different sizes, apparently made in a hurry, the workmanship is extremely unexquisite, and there is no beauty at all, but the copper used is sufficient, and it is heavy in the hand.
"Brother Lai, this is the utensils used to catch monkeys." Li Qingshan said.
What the?
The leper almost didn't hold the cup in his hand, looked down at the cup, and then at Li Qingshan, not knowing what to say.
Li ...... Brother Li, the monkey matter has made our cottage uneasy, and our big boss attaches great importance to this matter, this thing ......" The leper looked down again, and the expression on his face was a little hehe, "...... This thing can really catch monkeys, why don't I look like it? ”
The few water cowards next to him didn't make a sound, just looked at each other, and they all looked like they wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh.
The whole village can't handle it, just use these two pieces of scrap copper and rotten iron to fool people?
Too blind, right?
Li Qingshan seemed to have expected them to react a long time ago, and he was not annoyed, and patiently told them the method used.
"The principle of this cup is actually very simple, that is, put the monkey's favorite food in it, such as rice or nuts, and then put it in the place where the monkeys often hang out, and tie it to the tree with a rope, but be careful, you must tie it tightly, so that it can't fall down, otherwise it may be ruined."
The leper let out a "poof" in his mouth, but soon realized his impoliteness, and quickly shook his head and asked, "That's it?" ”
“…… Then do a good job of guiding the monkey all the way to the cup, such as sprinkling some rice or peanuts or something like that, and lead the monkey all the way to the cup...... Anyway, let them know that there is something delicious in this cup. ”
"And then? What's the use? "The leper obviously still doesn't understand.
"And then there is no then," Li Qingshan replied with a smile, "as long as the monkey's hand goes in, it can't get out." ”
Hearing this, the leper didn't know what expression to make, and was stunned for a long time before asking, "Why?" ”
The other Shui Kou also looked confused, as if listening to a book from heaven.
Li Qingshan stretched out his right hand and explained while gesturing in the air: "Because their hands will touch the food, and after touching it, the palms will be clenched into fists like mine, and then they will be stuck by this narrow cup neck, and then ...... You should get the idea. ”
Socks are leaning, and sauce purple is okay?
The leper now understood a little, lowered his head and looked at the strange-shaped cup for a while, and finally wanted to put his hand in it and try it first.
Several other water cowards also took a cup and passed it to each other.
Li Qingshan smiled: "Brother Lai, don't try it, you can't reach in, the monkeys' hands are not as big as yours, so this cup is only made so big." Also, if you can't catch it, you can try it a few more times, if you're unlucky and happen to run into a little monkey, this method may fail. ”
His tone was serious, not at all like he was joking, and the leper was a little convinced, but he obviously still didn't think that this method could really catch the monkey.
"Brother Li, the monkeys are better than the other, they shouldn't be so stupid, right? Do you think they don't know how to let go? ”
Facts speak louder than words, Li Qingshan didn't say much at the moment, and replied: "Brother Lai, no matter how much I say, it's useless, I can only tell you the principles and methods, as for the effect, you can go back and try it." Remember, once the monkey is tricked, you can just use a fishing net to catch it, and if you really catch it, lock it up first, don't harm its life. ”
“…… Also, if this method is really useful, hurry up and give Uncle Ma a message, and ask him to get you more of this cup, and get a few of all sizes. If it really doesn't work, I'll think of another way. ”
The leper scratched his head through the turban, obviously still thinking that this matter was not very reliable, he glanced back at the other watermen, and saw that some of them believed and some did not, and it was difficult to judge for a while.
However, since this was a matter of tea and half a cup of tea, he didn't dare to assert it, so he had to put away the two cups at the moment and bring them back later to resume his life, as for whether it worked, he was also a little curious now.
After talking for a long time, Qi Jing Tianwang Liu and the others had already returned from the boat, and they were talking and laughing with the thick-eyed and big-eyed Shui Kou, as if they were already very familiar with each other.
At this time, there was a sudden noise of people in the east direction, Li Qingshan didn't feel anything, but those water cowards were very nervous, and as soon as they heard the sound, they immediately squatted down one by one, holding down the weapons in their hands as a guard.
Seeing this, Qi Jingtian and the others hurriedly quieted down, and everyone pricked up their ears to listen carefully, but it seemed to be some immature children's voices.
Li Qingshan had already guessed who the person was, and hurriedly smiled and told them to relax their vigilance and not be nervous.
"It's your own people!" After saying this, he poked his head out and waved his hand in that direction.
Zhang Erling and the others also saw Li Qingshan at this time, and hurriedly took three steps and two steps, trotting all the way over.
Seeing that it was just a group of children, the Shui Kou were a little relieved, but when they looked at their strange team, they were all a little dumbfounded.
A total of ten babies and eleven birds.
The little boys all had a T-shaped wooden shelf in their hands, one for each of them, and a waterfowl parked on the shelf, some with ropes tied to their feet.
Zhang Erling is so strong, he is the oldest in this group of babies, and his body is the strongest, he took two water birds in one go, and he is also bigger than others.
In addition to these, they also carried many baskets made of bamboo, as well as wooden barrels, straw, and fishing knives.
Not only have the water robbers never seen this battle, but even Qi Jing Tianwang Liu and they can't understand it.
Li Qingshan whistled skillfully, and a cormorant on Zhang Erlin's shelf suddenly fluttered its wings and flew to his shoulder.
The young man suddenly smiled and said, "Brother Lai, where is your ship, why don't we set off quickly?" (To be continued.) )
