Chapter 30: Catching Turtles in an Urn

Cheng Wenge repeated: "Catch turtles in the urn, catch turtles in the urn......"

Then he wondered: "No, this jar is not light or two halves, how can it cover Wang Ba?"

Huang Han said with a smile: "There are many ways to lure him to profit, you can use this jar as a trap, think about it, Wang Bayi accidentally fell down, is it possible to climb up?"

Cheng Wenge began to get excited and asked, "Huang Han, are you going to catch Wang Ba this afternoon, it's too interesting."

But no matter what I think, I can't think of any way you used to trick Wang Ba into falling into the altar, I want to go with you, I want to see with my own eyes how you did it. ”

"It's not easy to catch turtles in the urn, you need a complete plan, how can you have only one jar for burying traps?

You have to prepare some things that Wang Ba likes to eat to tempt it, and you have to find a place where Wang Ba has more traps, how can it be possible to act this afternoon. ”

"I can help you with whatever you need, and you must take me with you when you go to catch turtles in the urn. ”

"It's not that I don't want to take you, but I need to go to the countryside, let alone a dozen miles, and I have to spend the night by the wild river, and your parents will never agree. ”

Cheng Wenge said with regret: "That's the case! I have never left my mother to spend the night outside, and she will definitely not agree." ”

Originally, Chengwenge should have a younger sister, but unfortunately she died before the full moon, and later Cheng's mother was pregnant with two children, but she was found to have congenital defects and had to give up.

If it weren't for such a special circumstance, the Chengwen Pavilion family would have at least three children.

After Cheng's mother was advised by the doctor not to risk pregnancy again, she devoted herself to raising her only son, Cheng Wenge, even if the child was stupid, and it took six years to read to the third grade.

Cheng Wenge's parents were stimulated by the child who died young, and they didn't want their children to get ahead, they just wanted their children to be healthy and healthy, and they did it, and the fifteen-year-old Cheng Wenge grew stronger than most of his peers.

People are like this, when the child is not sick or has no disaster, he must be forced to learn to play with his life, and suddenly one day the child is sick and may die soon, he will blame himself and wash his face with tears, praying that God will not ask for anything, only ask for the child to live.

Seeing Cheng Wenge's regretful expression, Huang Han said:

"Whether you go to the scene or not, it doesn't matter if you can see me catch the turtle in the urn, if I really catch the turtle, I will definitely tell you the story, you will have an immersive feeling, don't forget that I am the king of stories." ”

"Uh-huh! I love to hear you tell stories. ”

When Chengwen Pavilion came to pick up Huang Han from school the next morning, he really brought a bad jar, which was also two halves, and the size was similar to what Huang Han picked up yesterday.

I think this kid doesn't know what jar meets the requirements, so he directly draws a scoop based on the gourd.

Cheng Wenge said: "Huang Han, when I went home yesterday, I was looking for bad jars all the way, there are a lot of them, but this thing is not easy to take, I only took one, and I can bring one when I go to school at noon, if you need a lot, I can run a few more times." ”

"No, I have to transport it to the wild river more than ten miles away, how can I get more? Three is enough. It's just that I haven't figured out what to use to fit three jars in. Well, if only there was a big lead pail. ”

"Are you talking about a tin bucket? I have it at home. ”

"My fifth uncle also has it at home, but he can't fit such a big jar, and the jar is too small to let Wang Ba enter the urn. ”

"My white tin bucket should be the largest, I'll put a jar at noon to see, and if I can put it down, I'll tie it to my bicycle and bring it to you. ”

"The white tin bucket should be used by your family to carry water, what is it for your own family to give away?"

"I have two in my house, and my father used to carry water, but in the past two years, my father has been unable to carry water, so he and my mother have carried water together. ”

"Haha, your dad is very interesting! If you can't pick up a full bucket, you can fill half a bucket! Why do you need to carry water?"

"yes! Dad often complains that he shouldn't buy such a big bucket, why doesn't he know how to fill it with less water?"

"Okay, don't think about it, I don't want you to send it, but you can borrow it for a few days, and you have to ask your parents for permission to bring it again." ”

"Uh-huh! I have a bucket sitting idle at home, and it's impossible for my mother to disagree. ”

After returning home at noon, Huang Han found a clay pot, took an iron hook for hooking coal ash, and a tongs for holding coal ash and went out for a walk.

Rummaging through the garbage bins and garbage heaps, he had to look for chicken intestines and chicken offal that people had thrown away.

In recent years, there have been more poultry breeders, and there is no need for a plan coupon to buy chickens, and there are many farmers selling chickens and ducks on North Street in the morning, and the price is cheaper than pork.

In spring, people with good economic conditions can often stir-fry small roosters, because a small rooster of about one and a half pounds is less than a dollar.

After only rummaging through seven or eight garbage bins, Huang Han got ten pairs of abandoned chicken and duck offal.

Huang Han came to the well, held back his nausea, rinsed the soot and put it in a clay pot and covered it with a broken bowl, so that the internal organs, mainly intestines, naturally stink.

Huang Han knew that there was a place in Chiqian Wangbaduo, which was about ten miles away from the city, and many factories were built in the early nineties.

He was friends with the owner of one of the factories and was often invited to drink and play mahjong. Two thousand years later, there are still workers who catch old turtles during night shifts.

Huang Han knew the general location, and he had heard the workers say that the factory used to be barren fields, ditches, small rivers, and messy cemeteries, and there was not a single family in sight when walking far away, and too many coffins and white bones were dug up when building the foundation of the factory.

Huang Han is not fond of fishing, and during the time when he was an apprentice with his master, he often had the opportunity to be invited by the countryside to connect wires and install incandescent lamps and fluorescent lamps at home.

A few times I followed others to catch turtles, and I saw with my own eyes how to bury traps to tempt the old turtle into the urn, but it is not difficult to set up traps, and the most difficult thing is that it is impossible to judge whether there are Wang Ba active within one or two hundred meters around the trap.

Huang Han is a soul piercing, and his skills in catching turtles cannot be stronger than that of professionals, and he can only be regarded as half-understood, but he has a huge advantage, he knows where there are many kings, and there is no one within a radius of a few miles.

He has a certain understanding of the surrounding neighbors, and dozens of families in the alleys are good law-abiding citizens.

In the 40 years of reform and opening up, there has not been a single criminal in this alley.

Without entering the market economy, the price of soft-shelled turtle in the early eighties was not high, but it was also higher than the price of pork.

But as long as Huang Han can get the old turtle, he will definitely be able to sell it at a good price, because of Liu Xiaoming!

The soft-shelled turtle has strong vitality, and Huang Han catches it without harm, and he can't die if he raises it for a month or two.

It is best for the county government guest house to accept the old turtle and keep it to entertain distinguished guests.

Father Liu is still quite enthusiastic, and the neighbor's children come to the door to sell turtles, and he knows that the market will definitely refer to the high price.

And he doesn't have to pay for it, the guest house really needs it, how can this favor not be sent.

Huang Daozhou's character is that he refuses to ask for help, but in fact, he wastes too many opportunities and available resources.

For example, Liu Xiaoming's father, if you really go to him, you can definitely solve some food and meat, which is definitely much cheaper than buying it from outside.

If you don't look for someone, who will ask you if you need help for no reason?
