Section 31: Photo field eel
Chapter 31 Photo of eel
Qiaoying had a full meal and took a shower early. She had important things to do tonight. She brought a flashlight and hummed an unknown ditty to Liping's house. Liping had already eaten and was sitting down.
She taught her nephew Daliang how to do homework on the door pillar. Qiaoying did not ask Liping, but teased Daliang.
Liping guessed that she was here to ask questions, so she deliberately asked in a bad way: "How many eels were caught last night?"
Qiaoying glared at her and scolded her: "How dare you lie to me, you bitch."
Liping laughed and said, "I'll get it right for you. If you don't thank me, I'll forget about it. You'll even accuse me of lying to you."
Qiaoying patted her and said, "Hey! We really went to take photos of eels last night. There were so many of them, and they were all placed at Huazi's house."
Liping curled her lips and said, "If you don't believe me, you are trying to lie to me. I won't be fooled."
Qiaoying picked up Daliang's homework and looked at it, "Believe it or not, we are going tonight, and Huazi will be here soon."
Liping was dubious, and Daliang shook Qiaoying's hand and said, "Aunt Qiaoying, can you take me there too?"
Qiaoying touched his head and said, "Children, don't go. If you want to cross the river, I don't even want him to go to Zhengguo."
"You didn't really go to take photos of eels with Hua Zi last night, did you?" Liping still couldn't believe what Qiaoying said.
"You think you can trick me by pretending to be me and writing to Hua Zi. Hua Zi came to meet me, but after just a few words, we figured out that it was you who was responsible. Then we went to take photos of eels.
Well, if I hadn't gone to take care of the eels, I would have come to settle the score with you." Qiaoying said in a crackling voice.
At this time, Lin Hua came with the bamboo clamp used to clamp the eel. He walked in and said to Qiaoying: "You are here, are you ready?"
Qiaoying put down Daliang's homework and asked, "How did you know I was here?"
"Yes, how did you know Qiaoying was at my house?" Liping asked Lin Hua.
Lin Hua raised the clip to clamp Liping's hair and pulled it down, "Her sister told me, how dare you tease me yesterday."
Liping was pulled so hard that she tilted her head back. She grabbed the root of her hair with one hand and patted away Lin Hua's hairpin with the other. She said with a smile: "You don't want to help you date such a beautiful girl, but you actually took her to take a photo of the eel."
, What a fool.”
Qiaoying pinched Liping's butt and cursed: "If you still talk about this, I'll strangle you bitch to death."
"Stop making trouble and let's go." Lin Hua urged.
"Lipin doesn't want to go." Qiaoying teased her.
Liping said hurriedly: "Who said I won't go?"
"I'll go too, Brother Hua Zi, I'll go too." Daliang begged, pulling on the corner of Lin Hua's clothes.
Jiazhen came out and slapped Daliang on the butt, "Go, go, have you finished your homework?"
Qiaoying giggled and said, "If there is a ghost, please stay at home, kid."
Lin Hua said to Li Pin: "You can take a bamboo basket."
Liping went to get the bamboo basket. Qiaoying and Lin Hua looked at each other and smiled knowingly. Liping took the bamboo basket and the three of them walked out of the door. Daliang stood there pouting and said aggrievedly:
"Humph, you don't want me to go."
Taking photos of eels requires a very bright flashlight, so Lin Hua deliberately added three sections to the flashlight. When they arrived at Tiandong, it was completely dark.
They walked on the ranunculus field, and the snow-white flashlight shone in the ditch. Liping and Qiaoying followed behind carrying small bamboo baskets. At this time, the fields were not drained, so the eels had to swim into the ditch. After taking a photo, Lin
Hua soon discovered a fat eel lying bent on the mud in the ditch. He signaled them to step softly, and he held a flashlight in one hand and pointed at the eel, while holding a jagged clip in the other hand, he aimed at the eel quickly.
He pinched it away. Soon after, Lin Hua's hand plunged in like a kingfisher fishing, and an eel twisted its long body and was picked up by his waist.
Qiaoying was as happy as a child. She called to Liping: "Hurry up and get the bamboo basket. I got it. I got it."
Liping also excitedly reached out to the bamboo basket. Lin Hua put the eel into the bamboo basket. She leaned over to look at it and said, "Wow, it's such a big one."
Qiaoying stretched her neck and said anxiously: "Hurry up and show me."
Lin Hua looked at Qiaoying and felt that she was very cute. It was a pity that she didn't like him, so Lin Hua felt a little sour. He lowered his head and continued to look forward, and it didn't take long for him to weigh several pounds.
Photographing eels is divided into seasons, usually once in March and April. At that time, the eels have just woken up from hibernation and are not very flexible. They like to be in the rice fields that have just been plowed. Those with experience can just extend their middle finger.
Hook the right waist firmly, and then clamp it tightly, and you can catch it. Also, in this season, there is no water in the fields, and the eels have all run into the ditch. At this time, the eels are plump and big, and they are mature.
Pairs come in pairs, and if one is found there is another not far away.
Lin Hua was a little tired, so he sat down to smoke and take a rest. Cigarettes are really strange. Inhaling them into the stomach, turning them around and spitting them out can actually give people a sense of pleasure. When he was tired and tired, he lit up a cigarette, and he immediately became aroused again.
Feeling energetic.
Qiaoying picked up the clip and went to practice catching eels with Liping. She was so happy that she seemed to have forgotten her plans for tonight. She hunched over and walked slowly along the ditch step by step, the flashlight in her hand flickering.
Searching bit by bit, she finally found an eel that was squirming lazily. She suppressed her inner excitement, followed Lin Hua's example, and clamped the eel hard.
The eels danced wildly with the clips in their hands. Qiaoying stamped her feet happily and called to Liping: "I caught one, come on." It looked like she had picked up money.
Liping hurriedly followed up and stretched out her basket to catch it. Unexpectedly, the two of them were in such a hurry that they failed to put the eel into the mouth, and it ran away.
Qiaoying looked frustrated and blamed Liping: "It's all your fault for not catching it."
Liping was not convinced and started arguing with her, "You didn't put it properly, and you let go of the clip without aligning it properly." She went to grab the clip, "Let me do it, let's see what's mine."
Qiaoying quickly put the clip behind her back, "No, I haven't even caught one. It will be your turn when I catch one."
Liping went behind Qiaoying and tried to grab her, "You just caught it, now it's up to me to play."
"What happened just now doesn't count."
"Why doesn't it count?"
"You didn't catch it."
"You didn't put it in."
…
The two bickered, and finally decided to take photos for three minutes each.
Unknowingly, it was already midnight. Qiaoying was hanging a heavy bamboo basket weighing seven or eight pounds, and her neck felt a little sore. She said, "Go back, I'm so sleepy."
Liping looked at her watch and said, "Come back, it's half past twelve." Liping's family was wealthy, and her brother bought her this Shanghai brand watch during the Chinese New Year the year before last. It was said to cost more than two hundred yuan.
She couldn't put it down. She wore it every day, even in winter, she would expose her wrist. It made Qiaoying and Ah Xiang look so greedy and jealous.
Lin Hua was still not finished. He saw that there were still several ditches and it would take two or three hours to finish the photoshoot, so he agreed to go back. The three of them walked out of the field and came to the river to wash their feet. The three people's snow-white flashlights shone in the dark
In the night sky, like Sun Wukong's golden cudgel, it made scratches on the night sky. Occasionally, an unknown wild bird howled "Woo-wah-wah-wah", the sound was like the desperate scream of an injured person.
A timid person will feel terrified after listening to it a few times.
Only then did Qiaoying remember her plan last night. She touched Lin Hua's hand and whispered, "Let's start our plan."
Lin Hua nodded understandingly, washed his feet and stepped ashore. Lin Hua took out a cigarette and said, "Have a breath and sit down before going back?"
Qiaoying said: "Then sit down for a while. I'm exhausted. I just want to take a rest." Liping also sat down without knowing it was a trick.
Lin Hua lit the cigarette and took a deep breath, "Did you know that a child drowned here before?"
"I don't know, tell me." Qiaoying began to cooperate.
Lin Hua took another drag on his cigarette and narrated, "Before liberation, there was an eleven or twelve-year-old kid grazing cattle here. It rained heavily that day and there were floods. He drove the cattle home. His mother was at home.
Making tortillas today, his mouth watered just thinking about it. When he was driving cattle across the river, he accidentally stepped on a loose stone and fell into the river. He was too young and had no strength to get up, so he was drowned by the flood.
He's dead." Lin Hua paused for a moment and put the flashlight on his chin. The bright light made his face pale and pale, and it looked so scary. Liping was usually the timidest, so she couldn't help but feel a little scared. She walked towards Qiaoying.
Lin Hua moved closer to Qiaoying. Lin Hua then said: "This child is pitiful. He was still hungry when he died. He always missed the corn cakes made by his mother. After his death, he turned into a bird.
At night, it calls out "Mother, mother, mother." This is the bird we heard just now. It sounds so similar to you!" Lin Hua also imitated it, "Woah, woah, woah (mother).
Mother)." The voice echoed in the night sky, extremely miserable.
Liping was afraid, "Hua Zi, stop screaming, I'm afraid."
Lin Hua ignored her and continued to tell another ghost story. The cool evening breeze made Liping's skin crawl.
She begged: "Hua Zi, please stop talking, I'm afraid."
Qiaoying said cheerfully next to her: "It's okay to be afraid."
Liping still didn't understand and said: "What? Let's go back quickly."
Lin Hua said with a bad smile: "You should go back first, Qiaoying and I are going to fall in love." After saying that, he actually went over and hugged Qiaoying's shoulders.
Qiaoying ignored him and said lustfully: "Yeah, aren't you trying to make things easier for us two? Huazi and I are in love now, you can go back by yourself."
Liping knew at this time that they were trying to trick her, and that she was timid and afraid of ghosts and deliberately scared her. But there was nothing she could do. It was twenty minutes away from home. There was a place where dead people were buried on the hill next to it. I heard that it was often haunted.
