butcher's little man

Tian Xiaoman and Li Wenxuan were very happy not to mention that Brother Le was worried about them at home.

Tian Xiaoman and Li Wenxuan got closer and closer, and they leaned against his arms when they were sitting on the horse, unlike when they were stiff and trying to distance themselves at the beginning.

"What were you doing in the kitchen just now?" Tian Xiaoman turned his face and asked Li Wenxuan.

"You'll know when you get there!" Li Wenxuan giggled and refused to say anything.

Tian Xiaoman snorted and turned his head back, looking mysterious.

The two rode on horseback for about two quarters of an hour, and saw a large lake with many reeds on the shore. The reeds were thin and tall, and white cotton-like flowers were growing in patches. In the water, many small animals living in the water make their homes in the reeds.

The water of the lake is clear, but the bottom is relatively deep.Tian Xiaoman got off his horse, picked up a stone and threw it into the water, with a bang, the stone sank, "Li Wenxuan, the water is so deep, how do you catch crabs?" Don't talk about catching crabs, it's just whether he can catch crabs at the bottom Standing still is a problem.

Li Wenxuan got off the horse, patted the horse's neck, and the hero stomped away to graze on the other side.He took out a roll of thin thread from his pocket, then took out an oiled paper bag, and waved it in front of Tian Xiaoman's eyes, "Of course it depends on it!"

"Oh——" Tian Xiaoman suddenly realized, "Do you want to catch crabs like fishing?"

"Yes!" Li Wenxuan divided the thread into two, and then opened the greased paper, which turned out to be a few thin strips of pork, slightly salted.After tying the pork with thread, Li Wenxuan shook it to make sure it was fixed, and then handed one to Tian Xiaoman.

Tian Xiaoman felt that he had been fooled, and thought he was catching like they did in the creek, but he didn't expect it to be fishing!If I knew I was going to be the one who didn't move, I might as well have brought Le Geer to play!

Li Wenxuan saw Tian Xiaoman's absent-minded look, and guessed his thoughts, "Xiaoman, don't worry, I won't ask you to sit still, I'll take you to find it!"

Tian Xiaoman was pulled by him, and he still didn't believe it a little bit, but he was here, so he had to give it a try.

Li Wenxuan took Tian Xiaoman to a relatively shallow place, motioned Tian Xiaoman to throw the rope out, Tian Xiaoman did as he did, and then asked Li Wenxuan, "Can we catch it in this way?"

"Just try it out and you'll know." Li Wenxuan said with a smile, he didn't tell Tian Xiaoman that there are many crab holes on the stone walls of this place, and he basically catches one by one.However, the people here are not very good at getting them, and it is a little far away from the village, so they only come here to get a few when they are hungry.

While the two were talking, some crabs had already come over, smelling the smell of cured meat. Li Wenxuan saw the rope move, and immediately called out, "Pull it up!"

Tian Xiaoman didn't react in his heart, but he had already followed Li Wenxuan's command to lift the rope up, and a big black crab was hanging on the rope with its teeth and claws open, and its pliers were still holding the piece of meat tightly.

"Wow wow wow!" Tian Xiaoman exclaimed, "I caught it so quickly, it's so big!" He compared it with his own hand, "It's bigger than my hand!"

Li Wenxuan looked tenderly at Tian Xiaoman's smiling face, "Yeah, Xiaoman is really amazing!"

"..." Tian Xiaoman blushed all of a sudden, what's going on with this coaxing tone!

Li Wenxuan took the crabs down and put them in a bamboo basket next to them. There was a cover on the bamboo basket to prevent the crabs from escaping. We must know that crabs like to run away the most!

"Xiao Man, let's continue fishing." One crab is not enough, at least one for each person.

"Yeah!" Tian Xiaoman nodded, then let the rope down with great interest, staring at the water surface expectantly.Li Wenxuan also let down his own rope.

It can be said that the first crab was lucky, but the second one was not so fast. Tian Xiaoman waited for it until his hands were sour.Excited to bring up the crabs, Tian Xiaoman was depressed to find that Li Wenxuan had already caught several crabs.

"Xiaoman, is it almost there? Let's go back." Li Wenxuan didn't notice Tian Xiaoman's expression, counted the crabs inside, and found that there were already five or six crabs.Crabs are cold in nature and should not be eaten in excess.There are only five people in his family, and Le Geer can't eat, so these are enough.

"No, I still want to fish!" Tian Xiaoman disagreed, he only caught two, how can this work?

Seeing his unwilling expression, Li Wenxuan knew that he wanted to compete with him, so he said, "Okay, if you catch two more, can we go back with eight?"

"En!" Tian Xiaoman turned around and started fishing seriously.Li Wenxuan stopped doing it now, found a clean place, lay down in the warm and comfortable sunshine, put his hands behind his back and supported his head, admiring the figure of Tian Xiaoman fishing for crabs.

After lying down for a while, seeing that Tian Xiaoman hadn't caught the last two, Li Wenxuan thought about it, stood up and left quietly.

Tian Xiaoman took a lot of effort to catch the last two. He was about to share his results with Li Wenxuan, but when he turned around, he found that they were gone.

He tentatively yelled a few words, but no one responded. He yelled a few more loudly, but there was still no movement.Now he panicked, the place that made him happy just now suddenly became terrifying, the surroundings were quiet, and the lake water became bottomless in his eyes. All the anecdotes and strange things that happened in Tian Xiaoman's mind.

Holding a nest of wild duck eggs in his hands, Li Wenxuan walked over happily. He thought, Xiao Man would be very happy!But when he got to the spot, he saw Tian Xiaoman was full of panic. He put the duck egg on the ground, walked over and asked, "Xiaoman, what's the matter?"

Tian Xiaoman was startled, and almost jumped up in fright, "Where did you go? I was scared to death here alone!" Tian Xiaoman rushed towards Li Wenxuan, raised his fist and beat him. "I thought you were dragged away by the water ghost..." Li Wenxuan felt distressed at the last sentence with a faint cry.

He hugged Tian Xiaoman, "Xiaoman, I'm sorry. I thought I would be quick. I didn't expect you to come here for the first time. You will be afraid if you don't see anyone. I'm going to find wild duck eggs for you!"

Tian Xiaoman's eyes were red, "Who wants your rotten duck eggs!"

"Okay, okay, I'll throw them away later!" Li Wenxuan coaxed, "However, Xiao Man, why do you think there are water ghosts?"

"The nuns said it!"

"..." Li Wenxuan was speechless. There was one who was deceived by the stories of the old mothers. His mother especially liked to tell stories about tigers eating people. She told him and his elder brother since they were young, and now she told Le Geer again. Brother Le was afraid when he heard about tigers.

"Xiaoman," Li Wenxuan said to him earnestly, "You don't speak strangely, how can you have these things!"

"I don't know what you're talking about," Tian Xiaoman's mood had calmed down, he withdrew from Li Wenxuan's arms, thinking to himself, some of those nuns have seen it with their own eyes, and they still don't believe it?

"Let's go back, there are already eight of them." Tian Xiaoman didn't want to stay here any longer.

"Okay," Li Wenxuan agreed, whistled, and the hero came out from the forest. Li Wenxuan helped Tian Xiaoman up, then handed him the bamboo basket, and was about to get on his horse and leave.

"Alas," Tian Xiaoman said anxiously, "there are still duck eggs!" He had been greedy for a long time, wishing he could go down and touch a few, how could he not bring them back now?

"Xiao Man, didn't you say you don't want it?" Li Wenxuan touched his nose, who just said that I don't want your rotten duck eggs?

"Listen to everything I say. I told you not to pester me before. Did you listen?" Tian Xiaoman was so pissed off by him, he didn't listen when he should listen, and he was so obedient when he shouldn't !

"Don't be angry, I'll get it right away!" Li Wenxuan got off his horse immediately, and held the nest of wild duck eggs into Tian Xiaoman's hands. Because the wild animals are relatively small, there are two or three nests in Tian Xiaoman's hand. Ten too!

Tian Xiaoman smiled happily, and thought to himself, what a prodigal, so many bastards said no to it, so fortunately he was there, otherwise Li Wenxuan would definitely die of poverty in the future.
