Chapter 13: The Shadow

When the big fish was caught, I couldn't help but applaud and praise: "Awesome, amazing." ”

Liu Ting danced excitedly, and said excitedly: "Oh, I've caught it, it's a big fish." ”

"Wang, Wang." Seeing that we were so happy, Heibao also screamed twice.

Wei Lin held the net with both hands with a smile and said to Liu Ting: "Tingting, quickly bring the bucket." ”

Liu Ting hurriedly handed over the bucket, and Wei Lin poured the fish in the net into the bucket, and the fish fell into the bucket and slapped its tail and struggled a few times.

Only then did I see clearly how big this fish was, and it was probably enough to eat a pound of fish.

"What kind of fish is this?"

Liu Ting looked curiously at the fish in the bucket, the fish was tall and flattened, with a long dorsal fin on its back, a smooth abdomen, a large head, round and blunt lips, and a gray-brown body with black edges.

Liu Ting wanted to touch the fish, but I stopped her and explained: "This is tilapia, its dorsal fin is very sharp, you should be careful to pierce it." ”

"Tilapia? I think I've heard of it. Liu Ting said, her little head thinking.

I smiled and said, "Tilapia is African crucian carp, you must have eaten it, and you often eat it in the school cafeteria, but you didn't pay attention to it after it was cooked." ”

Wei Lin washed the net and said, "This one is enough for us to eat." ”

"It's a big deal, I didn't expect to get the first one so quickly, I have a hunch that we are going to have a bumper harvest." Liu Ting was full of confidence and threatened to catch many, many fish back.

With the first harvest, we are indeed very confident and go along the river to see if we can have another harvest.

"Ahh When she was concentrating on looking at the water, Liu Ting suddenly screamed, her legs began to move, and the water was swaying so that she couldn't see the situation under the water.

"What's wrong?" We hurried around her, not knowing what was going on.

Liu Ting said with pain and fear on her face: "Something in my foot bites me, it hurts." He kept kicking her right foot as he spoke.

Bitten by something? It can't be a water snake, right?

"Tingting, don't move."

Wei Lin threw away the net and hurriedly put his hand into the water to touch Liu Ting's right foot, Liu Ting stopped kicking his feet as he said, Wei Lin touched his calf for a while, and finally pulled his hand out of the water.

There was an extra red and black creature with two pincers on his hand, and the pain was relieved Liu Ting immediately went ashore, and she didn't have time to see what was "biting" her.

I knew what it was when the underwater thing was pinched out by Wellin, it was actually a crayfish, and it was not very large, and it should not be an adult.

Wei Lin pinched the crayfish and looked at Liu Ting on the shore, and said with a smile: "Tingting, it's just a crayfish, you may have just put your foot next to it, and it attacked you with pincers." ”

Saying that, Wei Lin put the crayfish in his hand on the ground, the crayfish proudly held up his two pincers, the pincers of the shrimp and the crab bite force is very heavy, and it really hurts to be caught by the pliers, fortunately, this crayfish is not yet an adult, the clamp is not strong, Liu Ting's feet are not broken, but they are red, Liu Ting rubbed her little feet, and looked at the culprit who hurt herself just now, Hei Bao was curious to approach this crayfish next to him, but I stopped it, and it couldn't stand it when the tongs clamped on it.

The crayfish hadn't grown yet, and I threw the crayfish on the shore into the water in the distance.

Liu Ting didn't dare to go into the water just now, and followed us with a bucket on the shore, I laughed in my heart, I remember the excitement of hearing the water to catch fish at the beginning, but now I was scared by a crayfish.

Underwater, I continued to move forward with Welling, and the harvest was quite good while walking and observing, during which I took turns with Welling to catch the nets, most of the time there was a harvest, not only the fish saw the big crayfish in the water, we would also catch it, when people focused on doing something, time always passed quickly, and before I knew it, the sun had turned west and turned yellow.

"It's so heavy, I can't lift it."

Liu Ting carried the bucket with difficulty, there were not only fish in it, but also many crayfish, as for the crabs, I don't know if it was a matter of season, they were not very mature, they were all very small, so they were all caught and released.

Hearing Liu Ting's complaint, we came back to our senses and looked at the tall stone mountain in front of us, and before we knew it, we had walked so far and reached the foot of the mountain.

I wiped the sweat from my forehead, exhaled and looked at the sky, and said, "It's already so late, it's time to go back, right?" ”

Wei Lin looked at the fish in the bucket and nodded with a smile: "It's enough to eat several meals." ”

With that, Welling collected the net, and we went ashore.

After soaking in the water for so long, my feet were soaked and white, and we all came here just now and never went ashore to rest.

Washed the mud on the feet, stepped on the road after a day of being exposed to the sun is quite comfortable, I used to study in school, and I haven't done anything like going into the water to catch fish for a long time.

Liu Ting watched us catch fish for so long on the shore, and her interest had long passed, and now she was touching her stomach and shouting to go back to eat.

Wellin's grandfather specially reminded us to go back to dinner, it should be almost six o'clock at this time, and we don't plan to stay, I took the bucket in her hand, and was about to go back, when suddenly Heibao began to scream.

"Wang! Woof! Woof... ”

Heibao's cry startled us, because it had always been very well-behaved, and it had basically not screamed after us for a while, and now all of a sudden, it was screaming.

"Heibao, what's wrong with you?" Liu Ting squatted down and asked Heibao, touching its head as if to appease it.

Heibao kept yelling in the direction of the stone mountain, and from time to time his mouth whined fiercely, as if something had stimulated it.

We looked in the direction of Heibao's call, there was a cement road leading up from the foot of the stone mountain, and the cement road winded up the mountain, and when I looked up, I only saw a faint shadow disappearing around the corner of the road.

After the shadow disappeared, Heibao's screaming also stopped, and he lay on the ground and licked his hair as if nothing had happened.

"What's that?" Wellin asked, apparently seeing the faint shadow as well.

I shook my head and said, "Maybe someone walked up, Heibao may have barked when he saw a stranger, and a dog barks when he sees a stranger." ”

We didn't care about it, and went back to Grandma Weylin's house with our harvest, and met my grandfather at the door, who saw us and said, "I see that you haven't come back yet, I was just about to go out to look for you, how did I catch any fish?" ”

I showed the bucket in my hand to his grandfather, and the old man smiled when he saw the black pressed fish and shrimp in the bucket, and took the bucket in my hand and looked at it carefully. said: "Oh, there are so many crayfish, then I will make crayfish for you as a supper at night." ”

Hearing that there were crayfish to eat, Liu Ting became happy again.

"The meal is ready, you guys hurry up and wash your hands and get ready to eat."

His grandfather went into the kitchen with the bucket, and we went to wash our hands and get ready for dinner.
