Chapter 474: Catching Locusts on a Rainy Day

Liu Junhao ignored this thing and said cool things, and he had already made up his mind to figure out the strange situation of the ditch. He bent down and kept touching the reeds, and just walked more than ten meters away, he suddenly felt something wrong under his fingers. He subconsciously pressed his hand down, only to notice that there was a weight under his hand, as if something rough and slightly elastic was sinking under the water.

Old turtle? This word flashed in Liu Junhao's mind instantly. His hand quickly rolled through the water, just encircling the lid of the old turtle, and before the thing could react, the old turtle's head had been pressed into the mud.

The gurgling water bubbled up, and the surrounding area was cloudy.

"What's wrong, what's wrong" Seeing the muddy splash in the water, Zhao Guangming hurriedly ran over.

Liu Junhao didn't have time to pay attention to him, he tightly pressed the turtle with one hand to prevent it from slipping away, and quickly buckled the net pocket into the water with the other hand. It's not biased or oblique, just to cover the old turtle.

Without the slightest hesitation, he grabbed the net pocket and lifted the mud out of the water.

"Leaning" saw an old turtle the size of a bowl caught in the net pocket, and several onlookers on the shore were stunned, and then cheered loudly.

"Lao Zhao, then" Liu Junhao suddenly shook his hands, threw the old turtle in the net pocket straight to the shore, and then bent down again.

He saw very clearly, at this moment, there were two drainage bubbles in the silt at the bottom of the ditch that quickly flashed in front of him, and then led to the distance - there was also the old turtle This is the trace of the old turtle escaping, there are so many bubbles, the old turtle is not too small, not to mention three or four catties.

The people on the shore only cared about the old turtle in their hands, and did not notice his actions at all. Liu Junhao was engrossed in looking at the place where the bubbles were tumbling in the water, and continued to bend down and rush forward.

I didn't expect that there was a pit at the bottom of the ditch, and I just took two steps forward and suddenly overflowed my waist. Fortunately, the phone was thrown on the shore earlier, otherwise it would have been broken. With a hundred and ten dollars in his trouser pocket, it must have soaked with water. However, Liu Junhao can't take care of it at the moment, anyway, the money can be used for drying, and it is important to catch the old turtle.

When he arrived at the bubbling place, Liu Junhao almost didn't have any delay, he took a breath and dived directly to the bottom of the water, and his hand quickly groped in the mud.

The old turtle caught more smoothly, and his hands just stuck on the skirt of the old turtle.

When he poked his head out again, the old turtle had already been locked in the net.

This one is bigger, and it weighs four pounds by feeling.

Several young people on the shore couldn't hold back any longer and jumped into the ditch one after another.

They spent more than half an hour carefully inspecting the ditch boys, but they didn't expect to catch two more old turtles, both of which were up to a catty, but they were not as big as the two that Liu Junhao caught.

"X, there are no yellow eels in this pit, why don't we think about it without thinking about it?" Several people have seen the two big turtles that Liu Junhao caught, and they are only left with envy, jealousy and hatred.

No wonder people often say, "There is gold everywhere, but only the blessed are waiting." This ditch is at the edge of my own village, and there are many people who usually pass by, but no one finds that there are old turtles in it.

Besides, they had searched for the yellow eel cave by the ditch a few days ago, but they didn't find any of them. Looking at it now, I also knew that there was a problem with the wrench, but I didn't think much about it at the time.

The old turtle is a rare thing for everyone, but there are a lot of them in Liu Junhao's stone lock. But it's an unexpected surprise to be able to touch so many.

After such a fuss, several people lost their minds to catch fireheads.

Several young people carried the old turtle home to drink, and Liu Junhao went home in wet clothes.

At the entrance of the village, several tourists were playing cards in the shade of the trees, and when they saw that his trouser legs were full of mud, they smiled and asked, "Xiaohao, did you fall into the ditch while riding an electric car?" ”

"No, I caught the old turtle just now," Liu Junhao smiled and raised the net pocket.

The crowd immediately gathered around, and when they had inquired about it, they once again provoked an exclamation.

A few of them even had the idea of buying old turtles, but Liu Junhao refused, saying that they wanted to stew soup for their daughter-in-law.

In fact, Liu Junhao and his family had never stewed turtle soup at all, and everything they caught was sprinkled in the stone lock. This is just a pretext for rejecting others.

The May Day holiday passed in a hurry, and Liu Junhao was busy again.

The daughter-in-law said goodbye to her teaching career for the time being, and there was still more than a month left for the final exam, and he had to catch up.

But there is no need to worry about things at home, Zhang's mother is now staying in Liujiagou to serve her daughter, which makes Liu Junhao worry a lot.

This year's climate is dry, and the wheat ripens early. In a few days, the wheat will be harvested. But the rain began to fall, and soon the water in the ditch in front of the door flooded the road.

In summer, the rain came and went quickly, and as soon as the rain stopped, Liu Junhao led Xiaopi, put on leather pants, carried a net bag, and went to catch locusts under the sluice.

The net pocket is specially made of window screens, and the mesh is only the size of a sesame seed, which is perfect for fishing for large locusts.

As soon as I went down to the sluice, I saw schools of fish hula churning in the depression. Crucian carp, loach, yellow eel, crab, lobster, ...... There were even a few carp weighing five or six pounds.

Liu Junhao's eyes were quick, and he directly pulled the net pocket into the water, and four or five fish were fished ashore. Once and twice in a row, I caught nearly three catties of fish.

After catching them a few times, Liu Junhao stopped caring about the fish in the water and let them flee downstream. He catches fish purely for fun, and when he gets it back, he also feeds the water birds in the yard.

He and his daughter-in-law don't eat fish at all now, but only taste fresh once in a while.

After driving the fish away, Liu Junhao caught the locusts along the ditch. This large grasshopper is slow in the water and is very easy to catch. Now the water in the ditch is soaring, and many grasshoppers are adsorbed above the water surface, and there are more than a dozen of them on a single gate.

It didn't take much to get the locusts wrapped in nets, many of them twenty centimeters long, and the fingers were as thick as their bellies.

He walked along the ditch to the river, waving his net pocket on the way, and finally caught more than three catties of locusts, and even picked up an old turtle with a big bowl mouth on the road, which was also thrown into the stone lock.

Seeing her husband carrying a bucket out, Zhang Qian thought she was going to catch something good. When he came back, he deliberately stretched out his head to look into the bucket.

"Don't look, you're going to scream." Liu Junhao hurriedly stopped her.

"What kind of fish are you caught, is it worth my screaming?" Zhang Qian was very unimpressed, and had to open the lid of the barrel. When I saw that it was a small half-barrel of grasshoppers, it really screamed.

To say that she has lived in Liujiagou for so long, Zhang Qian's courage is big enough, and she usually sees a water snake or something, and she will not be scared of the six gods, but it is the first time she has seen so many locusts, especially the amazing size.

"Liu Junhao, what are you doing with this thing, hurry up and throw it away."

"Throw it away, this thing is worth two or three hundred yuan." He recounted to his daughter-in-law about the fact that Wang Fatzi collected the big locusts a few days ago, and wanted to use money to impress his wife.

"That's not going to work, disgusting man, you take it out quickly, don't let me see it." Zhang Qian said why don't you let her husband put the bucket in the courtyard. Although I know that this thing will not crawl out, it is infiltrating to think about it.

Helpless, Liu Junhao had no choice but to put it outside the courtyard gate. In order to prevent these things from escaping, he deliberately added another brick to the bucket manhole cover.
