163 There is a word of tribulation
The sun is scorching, and threshing is in progress. Zhang Tao really had a hard time, on the other side, five people took turns to fight, and on his side, he stepped on the pole to the end alone, without even asking him if he wanted to rest, as if he was really an iron man. That's not all, the most important thing is that no matter who comes up, they only play the role of a foil, and the threshing machine steps up and down, almost relying on him to exert force. With such a hot weather and such heavy work, even the iron man can't stand it!
"Tugu, you rest, let me fight!" Renlong said with concern. He killed Zihe for a while in the last hill field, thinking that the task in the afternoon was not heavy, and maybe he also thought that his son had been busy working in the morning without taking a breath, especially this threshing was the most tiring thing in all the work of double robbery, so he decided to come over and replace his son. Although his son is a cow, don't tire him out, his son still has to rely on himself to care.
Zhang Tao said secretly, still father and son, knowing that he was tired enough. It is often said that the Bodhisattva is far away but not near. This is a joke, but it also reveals a truth, there are many joys and happiness, there are many scenery and beauty, there are many longings and expectations, we have been trekking hard, hard to pursue but can't, often when we look back, it turns out that it is in the lamplight, just in front of and behind us, and has never left.
Father! It turns out that your old man is my savior! Zhang Tao was moved for a while, and his tears of excitement turned into sweat. At that moment, he was no longer polite and gave up his position directly to his father. Fighting tiger brothers, father and son soldiers on the battlefield, this is the true and sincere wise saying, everything else is false.
"Old horse, how are the results?" As soon as Zhang Tao was free, he cared about Ma Tian's great cause of catching loaches.
"You also said that there are a lot of loaches in this field, you see that I have been working for a long time to catch a few loaches that are so skinny, not enough for one person to eat." Ma Tian said dejectedly.
Zhang Tao smiled and said: "There are still quite a lot of loaches and yellow eels in the field, but your level is too poor." Come with me, and I'll show you. ”
This fishing, loach, yellow eel or something, Zhang Tao has loved to tinker with this thing since he was a child, and he has also made a good skill. In the summer, he often went to touch or fish all over the field during the day when he had free time, and at night he carried a pine grease lamp to the field or stream to catch fish with tongs. At first, he was trying to be fun and greedy, and his parents always criticized him for not doing his job. Later, when he was able to make some achievements, his mother also took a fancy to him, and even regarded his job as a way to subsidize the family, and began to support and encourage him to do so.
However, there was one thing that made him quite unhappy. No matter how much he catches loaches, he can't solve this craving. Often, as soon as he returned home with a fish basket, he was directly confiscated by his mother, and his mother brought him to the market to sell money to buy rice that day or early the next morning. Who made our family poor? Poor children are in charge of the house early, although Zhang Tao has resentment in his heart, he can still understand it. Thinking that he could earn a little money for his family and make a small contribution, he became more and more motivated to do this from then on, and his ability was also good at refining into steel.
Seeing that Zhang Tao wanted to catch loaches, and hearing him let out such a big talk, everyone in the field looked at him, and Xue'er and Nana, who had been paying attention to Zhang Tao's every move, stopped picking ears and ran over to watch.
Zhang Tao thought about it seriously, since everyone is very concerned about this, and it seems that they don't believe in their own skills, then let themselves show their hands, let them have a long insight, and let them know that Brother Tao and I are omniscient and omnipotent invincible myths! Besides, these are some distinguished guests who are usually difficult to invite, and they just have a few dishes for them at noon. Thinking about it like this, he had a plan in his heart and decided to catch the yellow eel first. The yellow eel is big and difficult to catch, if you want to catch a big eel, it will naturally surprise everyone more, and you will have a greater sense of achievement.
Yellow eels, also known as eels, are slippery and have no scales, they generally live in the cool, fertile mud underwater, and are shaped like snakes, which is a very interesting animal. The yellow eel is a father and a mother all its life, and it is a female when it develops to its first sexual maturity, and it becomes a male when it lays eggs and becomes sexual mature for the second time. Yellow eels in farmland generally drill several holes in the mud, and corresponding holes will naturally be left in the mud. This kind of hole is the best to find, and it is easy to distinguish, as soon as you find a quasi, as long as you dig deep inside, you can ensure that the content is taken out.
Zhang Tao didn't say anything more, and if he caught the yellow eel, it was the best proof, and it was more reasonable than anything. He lowered his head and carefully searched for the yellow eel hole on the ridge.
Ma Tian held back his doubts, how did you catch loaches on the shore? However, when he saw Zhang Tao's serious appearance, he didn't ask questions, but just looked forward to Zhang Tao's next performance in disbelief.
In fact, Zhang Tao has a number in his heart, and the experience accumulated over the years of catching yellow eels tells him that most yellow eels like to go down the river to the edge of the ridge to make a hole, and then desperately drill into the ridge, because the deeper the drill, the higher the safety factor. Many ridges often leak, in fact, it is because there are too many yellow eels in this field, which drill through the ridges, and make the farmer uncle love and hate these yellow eels.
Soon Zhang Tao found the first hole, the hole was still relatively large, black and swarthy extending straight to the bottom of the mud, like a bottomless pit. The entrance to the hole is smooth, and at a glance, you can see that this is the result of the eel's smooth body often drilling in and out.
found the yellow eel cave and knew that there were yellow eels below, Zhang Tao was not in a hurry to start. As the saying goes, there are three holes in the cunning rabbit, and the yellow eel is actually comparable to the cunning of the rabbit. In order to be safe, yellow eels often make multiple holes, and the more holes there are, the bigger the yellow eel. Of course, this principle is quite simple, it is not big, and where does it have so much strength to hit so many holes?
Once the eel senses that a hole is out of the situation, and a foreign enemy invades or is blocked, it will immediately flee to other holes. For those who catch eels, if they miss the opportunity and can't track or intercept them along the hole, the eel will quickly disappear. Once you lose the opportunity, you can't track or intercept it along the hole, even if you dig three feet in the mud and dig three points into the ground, if you want to tease it out or catch it again, I'm afraid it will be very difficult.
Of course, Zhang Tao would not be so reckless, and he searched carefully around this hole. After a while, he found several holes. He first poked the index fingers of his left and right hands into the two nearest holes, and then followed the holes with his whole hand all the way forward. The mud is soft, and the hands are naturally unimpeded.
"Brother Tao, can you catch the yellow eel like this? The yellow eel is so slippery! It's incredible, isn't it? Nana looked at Zhang Tao's focused expression and asked in disbelief.
